Cassius Harlow x Stevie Sun

Part 2

It's no mistake that Cas ended up in Beachwood, and he knows it and now he wants answers. Meanwhile, Stevie and her friends want answers from Cas...

Written in the present tense

Part 1

Tagging: @choicesficwriterscreations, @jerzwriter

Warnings: Swearing, talk of blood

Word Count: 1105

Notes: I don’t own these characters, they are the property of Pixelberry Studios.

Harlow created on cooltext.com

This is set a couple years after the events of both books.

Arriving at a cave deep in the woods, Cas throws the creation in before speeding back to his home. Once there, he storms in and grabs his phone, dialling and holding it to his ear. After a few rings, a voice comes over.

Astoria - Cassius.

Cas - Beachwood wasn't chosen randomly, was it?

Astoria - So you know about the creations, then.

Cas - Cut the crap, Astoria! What do you want from me?

Astoria - To exterminate the remaining pests. Do so, and you may be allowed to return to Crimson Beech.

The line goes dead and Cas slams the phone down, filled only with rage.

Cas - Assholes!

Cas sighs in annoyance.

Meeting at the library, Stevie, Blake, Donovan, and Tyler start looking through folklore books in the hopes of trying to get answers about what they saw the previous night. Blake flicks through the pages and thinks back to Gabriela's murder, and the dream they had.

Blake - (Could Gabbie's ghost have visited me?)

Tyler - Blake!

The sound of Tyler's voice snaps them back to reality.

Blake - Huh?

Tyler - You okay?

Blake - Yeah. Just thinking.

Donovan - No luck.

Donovan drops the book down on the table.

Stevie - Nothing here either. Why don't we try and find Cas? We might be able to get some answers.

Tyler - Given what he did to that thing, I'm not inclined to be within at least two meters of him.

Donovan - I'm with Tyler on that.

Stevie - But he might be our only chance at answers.

Blake - Stevie's right. This Cas guy is the only one with answers, ironically the one who gave us the questions. Best thing we can do is just keep an eye out for him. Without knowing his full name--

Stevie - Harlow.

Donovan - Huh?

Stevie - His name is Cas Harlow.

Blake - Okay, that gives me a place to start. I'll go down to the town hall and check records for new arrivals.

That night, Cas begins his hunt for the remnant creations in the forests, looking for any sign of the creatures. He skids to a stop in the forests, sniffing. He walks over and finds blood on a tree trunk. Wiping his fingers along it, he finds that it is slightly sticky.

Cas - You were here recently. Question is how many?

Hearing something, he raises his hands into fists, but sees only a Doe running away. Sighing, he lowers his hands.

Cas - This is going to be easier said than done.

Stuffing his hands in his pockets, Cas begins walking through the forest, heading in the direction of his place.

Once back, he finds four people, including Stevie, waiting at the door.

Cas - Can I help you?

Blake - Yeah, you can give us answers.

Cas - Fuck off.

He pushes past them and Stevie places her hand on his arm.

Stevie - Please. We just want to know what we saw last night.

Cas sighs, opening the door and standing to the side.

Cas - Come on then.

They all enter and he closes the door behind them. Blake crosses their arms while everyone looks around.

Blake - So what are you?

Cas closes his eyes for a moment, and when he opens them, his eyes are silver and fangs in place of incisors. Tyler and Donovan stumble back a bit.

Cas - I'm a Vampire.

Stevie - So can you turn into a bat?

Tyler - That's your first question?!

Cas - No. I'm stronger and faster than a human. And as long as I remain inside Ley Lines, I can walk in the sun.

Blake - And that thing?

Cas - It's called a creation. Two years ago there was a Vampire Creator in Crimson Beech who tried to take the power of the Lines. And he used his power to turn Vampires into those things like you saw last night. We thought they were all gone, but it looks like there are a few still around. Which is why I'm here. Albeit against my will.

He chucks his jacket on the table and leans against it.

Cas - Now, I'd like to know how you found me.

Blake - I'm a Private Investigator.

Cas - That so?

Donovan - Why now?

Cas - What?

Donovan - You said you took these things on two years ago. Why you hunting them now?

Cas takes a deep breath.

Cas - I don't know why the Elders want them dealt with now. And I don't know where they could be hiding. I chucked the one I killed in a cave and I spent the majority of the night checking the forests. But I'll be out your hair once I'm done.

Silence fills the room and Tyler scratches the back of his head.

Tyler - Maybe... we could help you?

Donovan - What?!

Cas - No.

Stevie - Why not?

Cas - It's easier for me to do this without you lot getting in my way.

Blake - Maybe. But no one knows Beachwood like us. Can you walk into the town hall and access records?

Cas - I can speed in.

Blake - And look through without getting caught?

Cas glares at Blake.

Stevie - Face it, Harlow. You're stuck with us.

Cas raises an eyebrow at Stevie.

Cas - You're not gonna take no for an answer, are you?

The four of them talk at the same time.

Stevie - Nope.

Blake - No.

Donovan - Looks like it.

Tyler - Absolutely not.

Cas runs a hand down his face, groaning in slight frustration.

Cas - Fine. I'll let you help. But it's on my terms.

Blake - Name them.

Cas - First, you keep something silver on you at all times. We're not that keen on it.

He pulls up his sleeve, showing his brands from the elders. Stevie looks in shock.

Stevie - How?

Cas - I'm not the most popular in Crimson Beech. Second term, you learn Vampire lore. I sounded so much like Golden Boy then.

Blake - Fine.

Cas - And one more thing. If we find them, you'll all need a boost.

Tyler - Boost?

Cas - Vampire blood.

Donovan - You're not gonna... bite us, are you?

Cas - No. But a drop of Vampire blood will give you the heightened senses, strength, and speed for a small amount of time.

Blake - Oh!

Tyler - Well that's...

Stevie - Awesome!

Cas looks over at Stevie, and he can't help but smile ever so slightly.

Happy Pride Month lovelies! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

@choicesficwriterscreations

Gabriela knew it was Cas before she even stepped inside the office. It was the sound of her footsteps that gave her away. Chunky, black combat boots on linoleum, the thuds of her footfalls somehow imbued with arrogance even though Gabbie couldn’t see her through the closed door.

Like she moved with a swagger in her step. With a purpose. One that, as the door swung open to reveal Gabriela’s very own dark-eyed, gloating, she-devil nightmare, she realised she was likely the target of.

‘Isn’t it past your bedtime, Golden Girl?’ Cas smirked, glancing up at the clock. 10:43pm. All the faculty had gone home hours ago, even the evening cleaning staff, and here Gabriela was, still grading papers in the office like she was gunning for a “World’s Best TA” trophy.

‘How did you even get in here, Cas?’ Gabriela asked. ‘The campus should be locked.’

‘Since when has a little thing like a locked door or a “no trespassing” sign stopped me? I’ve been breaking and entering from the minute I could walk!’ Cas’s grin only grew wider as she spread her arms in a mocking flourish. ‘Pretty sure my first word was “minor misdemeanour.”’

‘That’s two words.’ Gabriela marked down a “B” in red ink and stacked the graded paper neatly in a pile with the others she’d completed. She paused, a pointed silence hanging between them as the door swung closed with a resounding click. ‘Aren’t you going home?’

Stalking closer, Cas rounded the desk to drop a kiss to the bare slope of Gabriela’s shoulder. Gabriela’s fingers tightened around her pen as Cas gripped the edge of the desk, her arms caging her in on either side.

‘No,’ Cas murmured in her ear. ‘You want me to just end my night after a little B&E? I’m sure there are pleeenty of other rules we could break together.’

‘We’re not breaking any rules tonight, Cassie.’

‘You sure about that?’

Intent on the papers before her, Gabriela did her best to ignore Cas as she scraped blunt, human teeth down the column of her throat, nipping a bite just beneath her jaw. Despite herself, Gabbie angled her head, giving Cas better access. Goddamn it all.

‘Gotta say, President Adalhard,’ Cas murmured. ‘You are looking all kinds of delicious today.’

Cas skimmed a knuckle down Gabriela’s neck, nudging the edge of her soft, grey cardigan until it was in danger of slipping right off her shoulder. She’d paired it with a strappy tank and a floaty, A-line skirt today, hoping to catch Cas’s attention.

Gabbie was as thrilled as she was nervous to find herself trapped against the desk, Cas all but devouring her with her gaze.

‘But, as cute as you look in this outfit, I’m pretty sure it violates the dress code.’

‘Really, Cas? That’s your angle?’ Gabriela snorted indelicately, rolling her eyes. Tugging her cardigan more firmly onto her shoulders, Gabriela stacked another paper on the “completed” pile. ‘Is this the part where you tell me I should take it off?’

‘Hey, you said it, not me!’ Cas raised her hands defensively, her grin utterly wicked as she straightened up. ‘No complaints if you do, though.’

Blood warming, Gabriela sucked her lip into her mouth, biting the plush curve until it was swollen and tender. Bad idea, she chided herself, not at all paying attention to the heat of Cas’s thighs as she leaned on the desk beside her. Being alone in the office with Cassie Harlow could only be a bad idea.

Cas nudged the cardigan again. It slipped right off Gabriela’s shoulder to pool around her elbow. Cas’s grin was unrepentant.

Gabbie made a noise that was half-laughter, half exasperated sigh. ‘Cas! You are such a bad influence.’

‘Yup. That’s why you like me,’ Cas said, a teasing glint in her eyes. ‘Oh, sorry, how did it go? That’s why you think I’m just so cool and gorgeous, and you have the most infuriatingly beautiful smile, Cas, like some fallen angel! You are the worst kind of temptation. And even though I know I shouldn’t, I can’t stop thinking about your—’

‘Okay, enough! God, you’re annoying!’ Gabriela ducked her head, heat rising to her cheeks. It had been a week since her teary, drunken confession at Nicole’s spring break rager and Cas would not let her live it down. That night, Cas had howled with merciless laughter and thrown Gabbie’s drunk ass in an Uber with a rather-more-sober Libby to keep an eye on her. But ever since then, the menace quoted Gabriela’s ill-advised monologue at every available opportunity.

Gabriela fisted her hands atop the desk. ‘You are never going to let me live this down, are you?’

‘Not a fucking chance, Adalhard. Not a fucking chance.’

Gabbie had been adamant she was going to take her ill-advised crush on Cas Harlow to the proverbial grave. But as things had turned out —embarrassment and endless teasing aside— the drunken confession had worked out rather in her favour.

***

One week earlier…

Gabriela woke to a pounding in her temples and a thick, dry feeling in her mouth.

God. A hangover. She actually had a hangover. As a vampire. She must have seriously outdone herself last night.

It was early enough yet, so Gabriela moved through her morning routine on autopilot; shower, brush teeth, complete skincare routine, fix hair. By the time she was settling down into a cross-legged position on her yoga mat, Gabriela was feeling marginally more human.

Well. As human as she could feel, these days. Shrugging off the stinging thought before it could burrow too far under her skin, Gabbie drew in a deep breath, intent on following the prompts on the YouTube tutorial she was watching and emptying her mind as best she could.

She was just beginning to relax when she was interrupted by a knock at the door.

A loud knock.

A very rude knock.

A knock that sounded alarmingly like someone was not, in fact, knocking, but rather kicking at her door with one oversized, metal-studded boot.

‘Nooo,’ Gabbie muttered to herself. It was far too early in the morning to be dealing with Harlow’s particular brand of delinquency. ‘What do you want now?’

Rising from the mat, she padded barefoot to her front door, wrenching it open to come face to face with one smirking, silver-eyed menace.

‘Oh, honey, I’m home.’ Cas ran a tongue across one of her fangs, a mocking smile on her face and two large cups of coffee in her raised hands, one iced, one hot and fragrant with curls of rising steam.

Gabriela leaned against the doorframe, her arms crossed tightly against her chest.

‘What,’ she deadpanned.

‘Aw, come on, now,’ Cas said. ‘Is that any way to treat your favourite Venandi?’

Gabriela watched as Cas raised the iced coffee to her mouth, her lips sinfully full and hypnotising as she took an obnoxiously loud sip through the straw. Gabriela winced, the sound grating on her over-sensitive hearing.

A moment passed. Another. Gabriela sighed through her nose.

‘What do you want, Harlow?’

‘I was in the neighbourhood.’ Cas took a second, drawn out sip. ‘I had a feeling that after last night, you were really gonna need a coffee this morning.’

‘You literally live on the other side of town.’ Gabriela’s eyes narrowed in suspicion. ‘Did you spit in it? I— what is this?’

‘Damn. Rude.’ Cas prodded the inside of her cheek with her tongue when Gabbie continued to glare at her. ‘Look, do you want the coffee or not?’

Without waiting for an answer Cas shoved the cup into Gabriela’s hand.

Taking a moment to pop the lid off —after one last suspicious glance as Cas, who slurped away at her iced Americano with a feigned air of innocence— Gabriela peered into the cup. And promptly blinked in surprise.

She didn’t know what she’d been expecting — a plastic Halloween eyeball? A dead rat or something?— but she certainly hadn’t been expecting to see a steaming double shot latte with a hint of vanilla, the fluffy foam dusted with a delicate shower of cinnamon.

It was her favourite.

If anyone had told her, even yesterday, that Cassie Harlow, of all people, had memorised her usual coffee order, she’d have laughed full in their face.

Right now, Gabbie didn’t feel like laughing.

Right now, Gabbie felt like the entire world was falling away beneath her feet and she didn’t understand why.

‘Thank.. you?’ Gabriela sucked in a breath, hoping like hell that Harlow hadn’t picked up on the slight flutter of her traitorous heartbeat. ‘What’s the catch?’

‘No catch,’ Cas said, though her mouth twitched as she said it. Shit. ‘I just thought I should add “generous” to that growing list of yours of all my admirable qualities.’

‘What—’ Gabbie hated how breathless she sounded. ‘What are you talking about…?’

‘Aw, come on,’ Cas insisted, her eyes glittering. ‘Rummage around in that big ol’ nerd brain of yours, Adalhard. Figure it out.’

The eagerness about Cas was palpable, Gabriela thought. But it wasn’t malice burning in her eyes just then, nothing so cruel. Teasing, yes —Cas wouldn’t be Cas if she wasn’t teasing Gabriela about something— but there was excitement there, too. And maybe even a flicker of… nervousness? Gabriela blinked. Surely not.

‘Tell me,’ —Cas shifted incrementally closer, and Gabriela sucked in a startled breath— ‘does generosity rank higher or lower than “stubborn loyalty” and “a face so cruelly perfect you can’t decide whether you want to punch it or kiss it”?’

A warning flared in Gabriela’s stomach. The world pitched, tilted, and Gabbie was in freefall.

Just like that, it all came flooding back.

The tears. The yearning. The umpteenth glass of that shimmery, icy slush she and Nicole had been knocking back as if it didn’t have a ludicrously high alcohol content hidden somewhere beneath its bright, peachy taste… taken out of her hands by one surprisingly gentle Cassie Harlow.

As she’d burst out in delighted laughter. As she’d promised they’d revisit this conversation when Gabriela was less likely to fall on her own ass.

Oh god.

The warning in Gabriela’s stomach turned icy-hot, searing cold.

She’d told Cas she had feelings for her.

Gabriela’s cheeks were suddenly flaming.

‘Aaaaand there it is.’ Cas snickered.

—noooooooo whatthefuckwhatthefuck why was she literally the most idiotic idiot in the history of idiots whyyyy—

‘Cas—’ Gabbie blurted, though she wasn’t sure what the rest of that sentence was going to be because she clamped her mouth shut against a sudden swell of nausea.

What the hell. What the hell had she been thinking!? Oh, she was going to be sick.

In that moment, Gabriela wasn’t sure if it was the hangover or the embarrassment talking, but either way, she was saved from having to figure out how exactly one is supposed to finish a sentence when they’ve just remembered they’d all but confessed their undying love to their mortal (immortal) enemy the night before, when Cas reached into an inner pocket of her jacket and slapped a brown paper bag into Gabriela’s hand.

It was warm. The paper was slightly greased and smelled of sugar.

Cas clicked her tongue, her face pinched in a way that said she was having entirely too much fun at Gabriela’s expense. ‘Eat something before you hurt yourself, dork.’

Flummoxed, Gabriela opened the bag, part of her wondering if it was big enough to hide in forever and never come out. She peered inside to see a pair of warm, apple fritters, sticky with glazed sugar and cinnamon. The exact kind she’d mentioned liking to Harrison around two years ago when Cas had happened to be within earshot.

She’d remembered.

Gabriela was hungover and Cas had brought her her favourite coffee and apple fritters because she’d remembered.

What on earth was happening?

Gabbie lifted her head to stare deep into Cassie’s eyes, her mouth falling softly open. For a moment, there was nothing but the quiet; the slow, sleepy stillness of a New England morning, spring flowers and errant blades of grass dew-tipped and swaying in the breeze where they sprouted through cracks in the sidewalk.

‘You… remembered I like these?’

‘Well, yeah. Duh.’ Cas lifted a shoulder in a too-casual shrug, something in her gaze softening from teasing to warm. ‘Is there room on that list of all the stuff you love about me? ‘Cause I don’t know about you, but after all this sappy shit I’m pulling this morning, I think you’re gonna have to add “fucking amazing girlfriend” to the list.’

‘Girl—’ Gabriela choked around the tentative bite of sugar and pastry she’d been unable to resist taking. She coughed, clearing her throat. ‘I’m sorry, but did you just say girlfriend?’

Cas’s knife-sharp smirks had always cut Gabriela to the quick. So proud, so bold, so unapologetically Cas… so beautiful.

It was no different now.

Drawing one last sip of coffee through her straw, Cas rattled the ice cubes around the empty cup, then very slowly and deliberately set it down atop Gabriela’s mail box.

Then she smiled, and it was the bright glow of the moon.

Coffee cup in one hand, apple fritter in the other, Gabriela had her hands full when Cas cupped the back of her neck. Cas slid a palm against her waist, fisting the fabric of her sweatshirt at the small of her back and sharply tugging her close. Gabriela squeaked in surprise, her pulse leaping to her throat.

Tilting her head in amused challenge, Cas simply stared at her. Her eyes flicked down to her lips. Gabriela swallowed, hardly daring to hope, and then —in a way that felt inevitable— Cas’s mouth found her own.

Trust Cas to leave her defenceless. But Gabriela always had been, when it came to the stubborn Venandi. Cas was in her very bloodstream. Gabriela could only hold on to her coffee and apple fritters and try to remember how to breathe.

Their kisses tasted of sugar and cinnamon. So unexpectedly sweet and soft against the absolute possession that was Cas hauling her close, sinking her teeth into her lip, tracing her tongue across the seam of her mouth. Gabriela opened to her, and Cas growled into the kiss, flicking her tongue across Gabriela’s and pinning her against the doorframe.

Her knees buckled. It hardly mattered. Cassie’s hand at her back was steady, her body warm and solid with muscle. Cas wasn’t letting her go anywhere. Cas held her steady, even as she fell.

When the two of them finally broke apart, and Gabriela stood there, breathless, heat flaming in her cheeks, Cas simply leaned to the side to take a bite from the apple fritter in Gabriela’s hand.

‘Yeah.’ Cas licked the sugar from her lips, chewing her stolen bite of apple fritter with an unrepentant grin. ‘Girlfriend.’

Yes I plan to do this kind of edit for Gabe too. We really should keep up this trend honestly.

5. Free the love – The one where Cas was on Tinder

Paring: F! Parker x F! Cas x F! Gabe

Warning: fluff + suggestion

Description: Cas got on tinder and Parker did not handle it well

Word count: 2002

-" Look over there, Cas. Isn't your girlfriend? Oh no, wait. She is with Adalhard, that must not be her..." Margot teased

Cas was leaning at Parker's locker with a focused expression focused on her phone

"Are you jealous, Margot? Just because nobody want to hold you at night?"

"You don't know that!"Margot said strolling down the hall

"Sure." Cas laughed still strolling through her camera roll •I need to change that photo...•

"Hey, love. Have you been waiting for me?" Parker said getting into Cas' arms behind her phone

"Hi, P. I am trying to find a new picture" She said accommodating her girlfriend into her arms showing her phone "what do you thing about this one?".

"Oh, hell no!" Parker said reaching for the phone "You are too sexy in these one. Why not that?" She showed a photo of Cas turning her back

She chuckled "Not that my ass doesn't look amazing in that, but what is wrong with the sexy one?"

"I don't want people drowling all over you. That is my job" She said kissing her girlfriend with a possessiveness.

"Uhm.. I will definitely post that one"

"Hey!" Parker playfully pouted

"Maybe I should make a tinder profile."

"Cas Harlow, I wouldn't joke about that now that I can match you in a fight"

"There...Sexy photo up..." Cas said making a profile

"CAS HARLOW! Give me that phone!" Parker said pulling at Cas' arm trying to reach it

"Description: looking for a human to call mine after my pet human became a polygamous vampire. I am open to just casual." Cas said holding her phone away from her

"So, what is going on here?" Gabe asked snatching the phone away and giving it to a giggling Parker

"Oh, you. Why I am not suprise that you are the one to kill the fun?"

"I am just here to get Parker" Gabe shrugged

"Well, she already has her escort today. So you can scramble"

"Actualy, love. Today I have a date with Gabe. But can you go by my place around 5pm? We need to talk" She said giving Cas a peck in the cheek. "And I will keep you phone until then"

"You are certainly not!" Cas said grabing her by her waist and reaching for the phone. "You may be a Clement after all. You are too slow" Cas teased showing her hitting the upload button freeing her profile to the world.

"Oh, you..." Parker looked Cas angrily

"Come, honey. They hate tardiness" Gabe said pulling her girlfriend by her hand

"This is not over, Cas!"

....

"What happened?" Gabriela asked a fuming Parker

"Your friend is a jerk" She spit

"Well, one, she is definitely a jerk. Second, she is definitely not my friend" Gabe said joking and reaching for her hand "Can I have my girlfriend back?"

"Yes, honey. I am sorry. So where are you taking me?"

"Some friends are going to play soccer today. I thought you might want to see, since last time you were curious"

"YES! I want to play!" She said jumping up and down

"Am I or am I not the best girlfriend ever?"

"Stop teasing, Gabe" she chuckled

....

At 5 pm

"Hi, Ms. Reese, how are you?"

"I am fine, Cas. Please come in. May I offer you a coffee? Parker is not home yet"

"That would be lovely, Ms Reese, thank you"

- ping - (Tinder) You have (35) unread messages

Sigh •ok, this is not funny anymore. How do I delete this?•

"Something wrong, darling?"

"No, no, Ms. Reese. I am just struggling with an social media app" •it is not a total lie•

"Oh, you should ask Parker to help you. See is good with that kind of stuff. Sugar?" She asked offering Cas her coffee.

"No. Thanks. And I will"

/Group chat: Parker's punk gang

(G) She is finishing the last game, Cas.

[Photo of Parker running with the ball]

(G) She is quite good at it.

(C) You took her to football? Jesus, what a waste of precious time. Just get her back to me so she can finally have some fun.

(G) You are a jerk, you know that?

"She is going to take a while. Maybe I should go and I talk to her tomorrow, Ms. Reese"

"Nonsense, Cas. Why don't you wait for her in her room? You should stay for dinner. I need to go get groceries either way"

"Thank you, Ms. Reese. I think I will be there catching up with some homework then".

6h15 PM

"You look lovely like this" Parker surprising a focus Cas hugging her from behind

"Hm. I suppose that I am mad at you for being an hour late, New Girl"

"Hmm, and I suppose that I am mad at you for downloading tinder"

"OK, I suppose I could let your disrespect unnoticed this time" Cas chuckled.

"So, have you found your new human?" Parker said ironically

"Yes. 35 new ones. I will have food for a long time" Cas said laughing

Parker slapped Cas arm while sitting onto her lap

"You have been a bad girl today" Parker teased

"Haven't I always?" She gave her a smoldering kiss. "Now go take a shower. You stink and your mom is cooking dinner"

"Hey! I do not stink. Let me see that phone of yours"

"Be my guest. And if you could delete the tinder I would appreciate. I have being trying to do so the last hour and I cannot understand why my profile is still active"

"OH MY GOD, CAS! 50 MATCHES???? This afternoon??"

"What can I say, I am hot and they know it. And I am pretty sure there is one or two teachers in there..." She shrugged off

"I am deleting this" She said throwing her phone in the trash "and now I am showing you who you belong to" She said grabbing Cas by her throat squeezing a little too harshly.

"Oh, someone is jealous " Cas licked her lip in anticipation

"I am not jealous. I just being a patient girlfriend and remembering you " She said kissing Cas deeply and reaching down to her jeans

"I don't think we have the time for you to show me like that"

"Good think that speed is one of my habilities, isn't it?" Parker said biting Cas' lips, standing from her lap, closing the door shut. "Now be a good girl for me and take of these damn clothes while I shower, will ya?" Parker winked rushing to the shower in unhumanly speed.

•God dammit, I was surely not expecting that! I thought she was going to ravage me for the tinder shit•

•

~ "I don't hear clothes hitting the ground, and I definitely hear my mom still picking up pans.~ Cas heard even with Parker still away. She smirked

~"You should concentrate in getting clean, New Girl. I am going to help your mom with dinner before you attack me"~

~oun. Are you trying to earn brownie points with my mom?~

~Definitely. I can't get to Golden Girl level of approval, but I can surely cook some meat.~ she said fishing her phone from the trash can ~ Don't forget to scrub throughly everywhere that spiritual coach touched you~

/PING/

~Is that your phone?~

Cas ignored her hide rushing to the kitchen

-Hi, Ms. Reese. Can I help you?

-Hey, Cas. Have you finished with your homework?

-Yes, Gabe went straight to the shower, so I thought about coming here to help you.

-I thank you for that. Gabriela knows we have rules in this house..

/PING/

- Did she help you with your phone?" Terry asked grabing a knife and an onion

- Not yet. I have no clue what is happening and I've gotten, let's see. 10 new notifications in the last 10 minutes.

~10?? I AM GOING TO FINISH YOU~ Cas heard Parker fuming

- "Oh, and what it is about?"

- "Is a photo that people liked, I guess." Cas shrugged it off

- "Well, good thing then. Come on, help me with the onion. This little bastards always makes me cry."

....

-"Mom, you didn't let Cas do any of the real cooking right? She said embracing Cas from behind while she was picking up the plates."

-"Parker! That was mean."

-"I am not kidding, mom. Cas does not have the same taste for spices as we do!" - she chuckled at her own joke

-"She is right about that, Ms. Reese." Cas laughed

~so, your mom asked me to put the table, but this forks are all silver.~

~she must like you, she never takes down the silverware.~

~ Lovely, truly. But have you forgotten that we can't actually touch it?~ Cas looked at her like she was missing something important.

~ Love, it isn't actually silver... We don't have the money for th- ouch!~ the pain was very real and very stingy. It felt like a thousand darts going directly to her fingertip.

-"Something wrong, dear?" Her mom asked taking a pan out of the oven while Cas was hawling down in laughter

- "No, mom. I just bumped my toe and Cas finds amusing that I got hurt, apparently."

- "Sorry, sorry." Cas say with laught still on her eyes ~why did you touch it! I told you it was silver~ she was still chuckling

- "Mom, we are not breaking the silverware today. It gets me HOURS to swipe it clean after. Good old inox will do just fine!" Parker said over her shoulder leaving the actual silver behind

....

/PING/

- "People really did enjoy your photo, didn't they?" Ms. Reese said unaware

- "Yes, Cas. People MUST like it very much " Parker voice was dripping with sarcasm

- "cof. Uhum. I am trying to take it down. Could you help me, love?"

- "Oh, no. We are going to see everyone who liked it..."

- "It seems as someone is in trouble " Ms. Reese said chuckling." You two go figure this out, ok? And Parker, door stay open."

/PING/

- "Urrrrg. Come Cassie"- Parker sat strolling down her bedroom

- "Sorry about that, Ms. Reese. Dinner was lovely"

- "yeah, yeah. Good luck." She said still chuckling taking the dishes

Once insie her bedroom

- "Cassie Madalene Day Thorne HARLOW! Give me that phone."

- "I promise to give you, but you do know that this is not my name at all, right? " Cas said with an amused smile handling her phone

- "72 MATCHES?" Parker was fuming strolling down the list of notifications when it hitted her: "Do you know that for you to match to someone, it means that you ALSO swipe them up?????" She yelled

- "What? No! I have not even opened the app, love. I just did it to mess with you." Cas said putting her hands forward like she was protecting herself with a grin.

- "Well "LOVE" , that is NOT how tinder works!" Parker was completely furious

- "For crying out loud, Babe, do you think I would match that?" She said showing a man with a cowboy hat on the screen

- "THIS IS A SUPER MATCH, CAS!" Parker hawled in surprise

- "What is that supposed to mean?" Cas quirked an brow in a confuse manner

- "YOU HAVE GOTTEN 72 SUPER MATCHES IN A DAY?? HOWTAHELL?!" Parker yelled with wide eyes of surprise

- "Love, calm down. Let's just delete this, ok?" Cas chuckled patting the place next to her in the bed "Come here".

- "Urerrg." Parker collapsed in the bed with Cas' phone over her heart. "How am I supposed to compete with that?"

- Compete? What are you talking about, love?" Cas asked raising her brow with a playfully tone.

- With all this people! Look at this! 'Taylor, 22 yo, Taurus, love outdoor activities and dog person', and she is freaking gorgeous! She has a freaking RED HAIR!" She exasperated holding the phone an inch away as scrutinizing a very beautiful redhaired in the app

Cas laughted and took the phone away from the blonde

"She IS hot" She said quirking a brow and letting out a whistle

"CAS!" She hid her face with both hands

The vampire kept laughing at the situation, but straddled her girlfriend and forced her wrist down. "Stop act dumb, New Girl. Look at me. There is simply no competition"

"You say that now" Parker said trying to set herself free.

"You have my heart, Parker. They don't stand a chance." Cas said getting do to met her in a soft kiss "Just don't screw up" She joked and winked

Parker laughted and pulled Cas down for a deeper kiss...
