There will be more of this, I'm just not sure when. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions as to what can happen in the next chapter, they'd be greatly appreciated…
RICKY'S POV:
I made my way over to Brax who was manning the barbecue and wrapped my arm around his waist, handing him a bottle of beer…
"What are you looking at?" I questioned
He motioned over to by the pool where Denny and Casey were sat, their feet dipping in the water, both of them too wrapped up in each other…
"They remind me of me and you at their age…" I informed him
"We were cuter." he replied, smirking at me playfully
Leaning up onto my tiptoes, I kissed him softly… "How long till this is ready?"
"Not long." he informed me "Another ten or so minutes."
Nodding my head in understanding, I made my way back over to the patio table where Bianca was sat, Megan nodding off in her lap…
"Do you mind if I put her down?" she questioned
"Course not." I replied "I'll come and help."
Smiling at me warmly, we both stood up and made our way into the house, Bianca settling Megan in the bedroom, making her way out to me a few minutes later…
"Denny and Casey seem to be getting on well?" she inquired
"They went on a date this morning." I informed her "But don't say anything, Case doesn't want anyone else knowing yet."
"My lips are sealed!" she assured me
BRAX'S POV:
Everyone had now left, and after helping Ricky clear up after the barbecue and she'd gone for a bath, I checked on the kids and made my way down the hallway and knocked on Casey's bedroom door…
"Come in…" he stated
"Hey, only me." I informed him
"Hey." he mirrored
"You good?" I questioned
"Yeah, I am thanks." he replied
"And you've had a good day?" I inquired
"Yeah. Why all the questions, Brax?" he asked
"I'm just asking, being a dutiful older brother." I informed him "You and Denny seemed to be getting on okay? In fact, you barely let each other out of your sights…"
"She's great," he admitted "I really like her."
"And does she really like you?" I questioned
"Yeah, she does." he replied
"Good…" I stated "It's good to see you happy, Case."
RICKY'S POV:
Our bedroom door closed behind Brax as I was getting out of the bath. Making his way to the en-suite door, I smiled at him warmly…
"Am I too late?" he questioned
"Too late for what?" I inquired
"To join you?" he asked
"I'm afraid so…" I admitted "But I need to wash my hair, so I was just about to get in the shower."
"And would it be okay if I joined you?" he questioned
"Since when do you need permission?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him
Smiling at me warmly, he made his way into the room, shutting the door behind him, pressing my towel-clad body up against the shower cubicle…
