Izzie's POV

When I woke up the next morning, I felt the weight of an arm on my chest. I looked down to see a toned arm holding me close.

Casey was snoring silently, clearly deep in sleep with her cheek smushed against the pillow. A smile uncontrollably broke out on my face and all I wanted to do was go back to sleep, cuddled close to her chest.

Then memories of last night came flooding back as I sat up, the cover falling off my naked body.

The lust in her eyes, the feeling of her teeth on my neck as she held my breasts, the way her head fell back when I ate her out, her whispers of praises into my ear as I came hard on her fingers...

I was drunk on her last night.

And right now, as the sun streamed through the cracks of the blinds, everything started to become more real. Who is this girl and why is she in my bed?

I knew there was no point in sitting here and watching her sleep. I grabbed my clothes from off the floor and quickly changed before leaving the room. I couldn't find my pants anywhere so I just settled on wearing my button down shirt.

I opened the fully stocked fridge and saw that there were some eggs so I decided on scrambled eggs. I cracked enough for two people while I got the coffee machine running.

I heard footsteps and I shut my eyes, nervous about our first morning interaction.

"Hey..." I heard her voice and I bit my lip, finding her morning voice absolutely attractive. I turned around to see her in one of my shirts. Her eyes dipped down to below my stomach and they lingered at my bare thighs, making my cheeks go deep red.

I was screaming and begging for her last night but now, I was almost embarrassed to be standing in front of her.

"What are you making?" She asked, walking towards me as I turned back to the stove. "Good morning to you too," I mumbled as the eggs continued to sizzle. "I hope you like scrambled eggs."

"I do," she whispered, sending chills down my back. There was an awkward tension between us until I felt her hands snake around my waist. I let out a shaky breath as I felt her core press up against me.

"You were so amazing last night," She said in a deep voice before kissing me on the cheek. "So, so amazing. God, you're sexy," She continued and I felt her hand slide down my back before she rested it on my thigh.

I turned the stove off and whipped around to crash my lips against hers. The kiss immediately became sloppy as I licked, sucked and bit on her lips before she shoved her tongue in my mouth.

"I think I have another idea of what we should do for breakfast," I breathed out and she stared at me with swollen lips.

This girl really has me wrapped around her finger.

"Take it off," I grumbled, clutching onto the hems of her shirt. She ignored me before lifting me up swiftly and placing me on the kitchen counter. She gently pushed me back and climbed on top of me.

I pulled her down by her shirt collar and we continued to kiss with my other hand holding onto her neck.

She sat up, still straddling me, to take off her shirt before moving to my neck. She sucked on the skin of my neck while fumbling with my shirt buttons. The feeling of her lips on my neck shot pleasure through my body as I moaned loudly. I was pleased to see that it got a reaction from Casey as she whimpered. "Oh fuck Izzie, you have no idea what that does to me."

I bit my lip to suppress a moan as she moved to my breasts, gently biting down on them. "Come on baby I wanna hear you," She whispered.

The pleasure that she was giving me right now was making me move a lot under her. She sat up again before grabbing her shirt that was next to us. In a swift motion, she held my wrists together before tying the shirt around them. My eyes widened in arousal at the crazy dominance that she had over me right now. She could do anything to me.

"Is that okay baby?" She gently whispered into my ear and the kindness in her voice together with her dominance was enough to make me wanna marry her in an instance.

"Yeah..." I breathed out.

"Tell me if you want me to stop," She said, kissing down my chest while looking up at me.

"IZZIE TAYLOR!" A loud, familiar voice broke us our of our euphoric moment as Casey jumped off me. Another knock on the door followed after.

"I'd like you to meet someone!" We heard Julia and I groaned while Casey untied me.

"Of all times..." I muttered.

"Just a sec!" I called out before running to my room. I came out to see Casey fully dressed and we shot each other a look of disappointment before I opened the door.

There stood Julia, together with another girl who was wearing earrings and eyeliner. "Izzie, I would like to introduce you to Gretchen. The newest resident of The Afterlife!"

I smiled and nodded at her. "It's really nice to meet you," I said and she smirked at me. "Hey pretty," She replied. Casey soon appeared behind me.

"Oh Casey I didn't know you were here too! Nice to see that you and Izzie are bonding," Julia said and I felt my cheeks burn up.

"Well hello there," Gretchen said, looking more interested now as she turned all her attention to Casey. "Hey," Casey said, sounding more flirty than I would like.

"Now we have four 16 year olds here! The three of you plus Erika. How great is this?" Julia exclaimed, rubbing her hands together,

"Yeah so great..." I thought, looking at Gretchen and Casey giggling at each other as jealousy coursed through my veins.

I only sleep with her. She's not my girlfriend. I shouldn't care.

"Anyways, remember to come to the town hall tonight for Gretchen's officiation. Dinner and dancing and all the works!"

Julia and Gretchen then left our house but not before Gretchen turned around to wink at Casey. I rolled my eyes before turning around to go into the house, unintentionally stomping to the kitchen.

"You okay?" Casey asked.

"You should go. I've got stuff to do," I said, coldly,

"Oh... alright..." She mumbled. She grabbed her jacket but before she left, she walked closer to me.

"Hey... I had a really good time," She whispered. She placed my chin on the side of her index finger while her thumb stroked my bottom lip. With the way she was looking at me right now, I wanted to jump her right then and there.

She bent down and gave me a full kiss on the lips. A sweet and gentle one that sparked a completely new happiness in my system. When she broke away, she smiled at me a little before heading out of the house.

That night, I wore a red dress I had found in the cupboard and some accessories. I was not looking forward to tonight because Gretchen irked me for no reason. But the thought of the possibility of dancing with Casey tonight was the only reason I went.

When I found my spot at the table with Casey, Erika and Gretchen, my face turned sour when I saw Gretchen and Casey sitting together, already engaged in a conversation. I sighed as I took my seat next to Erika. "Hey Izzie. You settling in good?" Erika asked and I smiled. "I'm actually kinda getting used to it. Except for when Paige comes out of nowhere."

"Hi! I'm Paige!"

"And there it is again!"

Erika broke down laughing as I turned to Paige. "What would you like to have today Izzie?" Paige asked. "Anything that's hot on the menu will do Paige."

Casey didn't even notice me until Erika had made another joke and I laughed loud. "Oh hey," She said and Gretchen stared at me. "Sick dress. It doesn't really go well with your earrings though," Gretchen said and Erika furrowed her eyebrows at her.

"You look great Izzie," Casey said genuinely and I smiled at her. She was wearing a black suit and a chain necklace and looked amazing. I let my eyes linger for a while until I turned my attention to Julia on the stage.

She introduced Gretchen and she confidently went up to the stage to give her speech. "What up I'm Gretchen. When I first came here, I was like 'what the fuck is this place' but now I realised there are some cool people," She said, winking at Casey.

I just wanted to leave at that point.

"And I guess we're all gonna be neighbours. So here's to me being ya'll's new neighbour!" She said, raising up her glass of champagne.

Everyone clapped unenthusiastically.

After talking for a while (mostly to Erika), the DJ started to play some music and people started to get on the dance floor.

I nervously looked up at Casey who was looking at the dance floor in interest. Gretchen was about to ask Casey to dance when Erika interrupted. "Oh my God Izzie you like this song? Casey loves this song too!" She exclaimed.

Casey turned to me with the brightest eyes. "Do you wanna dance?" She asked quietly and the nervousness on her face was adorable. I slowly nodded before getting up.

I really don't know what this song was and from the looks of it Casey didn't either. It was a slow song so we awkwardly swayed to the rhythm together and I cringed at how uncoordinated we were.

"Um you look great," She said and I bent down to hide the blush on my face.

We were so confident and vocal in bed together last night but right now, it was hard for either of us to say anything. The sex was great of course but on the back of both our heads, we were still thinking about... the deja vu.

She slowly reached her hand towards me. It felt like forever until I felt her soft touch on my fingers but before we could properly hold hands, "Casey! Can you show me to the bathroom?" Gretchen exclaimed over the music.

Casey and I stepped away from each other. "Sorry... I gotta..." Casey mumbled and I nodded immediately. "Yeah, yeah... I get it," I said, forcing a smile at her. She continued to look at me for a while before leaving me all alone on the dance floor.

Once Casey and Gretchen were out of sight, Erika came towards me. "Ok, I do not like that girl," She said and I chuckled a little. "Yeah... the vibes are horrible."

Erika and I decided that the party was getting a little boring so we decided to walk home together.

I followed Erika because she knew a short cut to exit the building near the restrooms.

And there they were.

Casey and Gretchen kissing against the restroom door.
