The Taste Of Blood Remains

*Mike's POV*

After talking and laughing for a couple more hours Cassidy was getting tired as she was getting less interactive, "Are you tired?" I whispered to Cassidy as I put my empty beer bottle on the table she looked and me and nodded, rubbing her eyes, "Mom, we're going to bed, goodnight" I said kissing mom and dad's cheeks and walking up stairs with Cassidy, we entered my old bedroom which was just how I left it, music and movie posters, Cass and I got ready for bed and I watched as she climbed into my bed, "I'll see you tomorrow" I said kissing her forehead and turning to walk out, I felt a gentle grip on my wrist, I turned and looked at her staring at me with a small smile, "Stay, please" she asked sleepily, I nodded and climbed in beside her, she rolled over and cuddled into my cold, bare chest, I wrapped my arm around her and rested my hand on her bum, I moved my hand down and started rubbing the inside of her thigh, "Mmm Mike" she groaned with her eyes closed, I smiled to myself as I moved my hand back up to rest on her bum again, I watched her drift into a peaceful sleep, I wasn't tired but I knew that if I didn't offer to go to bed with her she would have fell asleep on the couch or on me and I knew that Vivian would have a field day with that, I rolled my eyes at the thought of my mom obsessing over love and romance, as I was slowly falling asleep Cassidy's phone started going off, who would phone her at 11:45pm? She suddenly shot awake and reached over, she looked at me, "Austin?" She said confused, she jumped in and turned the lamp on answering it, "Hello?" She answered obviously worried as who phones someone at quarter to midnight if it wasn't an emergency, "Yes, it's okay, I forgive you" she said rolling her eyes and sitting back down, "No Austin, have you been drinking, I think you're drunk" she said sighing, "Who's there?" She asked, "Put Vic on" she said looking at me and rolling her eyes, "Vic what the fuck?" She asked, clearly stressed out, "Can you please just get him to bed without being sick?" She asked again as she rubbed her forehead, "Okay, thank you, I'll see you tomorrow, okay, bye, yes, I love you too" she said before hanging up and throwing her phone across the bed, "What's up?" I asked rubbing her thigh, "Austin's drunk, like really drunk" she said rubbing her face with her hands.

As we lay back down, Cassidy turned out the lamp and rolled over so she was cuddling in to me again, I also rolled over on to my side so I was facing her, "Goodnight" I whispered kissing her forehead, I rested my hand on her bum again and gave it a small squeeze, "Mike" she whispered, I felt a small smile appear on my face as I moved my hand down and rubbed her thigh, she stirred a little but never said anything, I slowly glided my fingers up and down her thigh, I felt her cold hands make her way up my chest, she started planting kisses from my chest to my shoulder to my neck until she started pulling at my skin with her teeth, I rolled on my back and she quickly got on top of me, sitting on my waist, I put my hands under her top and started to move my way up until I cupped her breasts with my hands, she ducked down and kissed my lips, soon they were moving in perfect sync as I groped her she started moaning in my mouth and rubbing herself on me, "Fuck" I muttered as we pulled away and she targeted by neck and collar bones again, as I was about to pull her shorts down she stopped me, "What's wrong?" I asked looking at her sad expression, "I just, I can't, not tonight, I'm sorry" she said rolling off me and laying next to me, "It's okay, I understand" I said kissing her forehead, "Goodnight, Mikey" she said kissing my chest and closing her eyes, "Goodnight, Cass" I whispered, holding her close to me. I was woken 10 minutes later to a vibrating on my foot, I sighed and reached down to find Cassidy's phone, it was Vic, I rolled my eyes and slowly got up so I didn't wake her, I went outside of the room, closing the door behind me, "Vic?" I answered, "Hi Mike, just so you know I got Austin to sober up a bit and he's asleep" he said, "Okay thanks, you should get some sleep" I said, I heard him sigh and felt him nod, "Yeah, that's where I'm going now, goodnight man" he said, "Night bro" I whispered before hanging up, when I went back inside Cassidy was still sleeping, she looks so beautiful, as I climbed into bed I quickly grabbed my phone and took a picture of the back of her head and posting it to Instagram, captioning it, "Sleepover with this beauty! <3 @MissCass" I locked my phone and put it under my pillow before wrapping my arm around Cassidy and continuing to spoon her, finally peace.

l woke up to the feeling of someone drawing circles on my chest, I opened my eyes and saw Cassidy tracing my tattoos, "Good morning princess" I said, she just smiled and leaned up, kissing my lips, "Good morning" she replied, we both heard mom and dad's bedroom door shut and the pattering of slippers pass our door, Cassidy yawned before standing up and stretching which made her shorts ride up, showing half of her ass, she must have felt my eyes on her because she turned around and smirked at me before opening the door, "Where are you going?" I asked, jumping up and following her, "I need a shower" she said turning around and smiling at me, "I need a shower too" I smirked walking towards her, "Well I'm first" she said before turning back around and walking to the bathroom, I quickly grabbed her waist pulling her back towards me, "Or we could conserve water?" I asked into her ear, she turned around and opened her mouth to answer but we were interrupted when my dad walked out of the room, "Morning" he said awkwardly, "Morning" Cass and I both said in unison, "I'm gonna go for that shower" Cassidy said embarrassed before turning around and walking to the bathroom and locking to the door, we stood there staring at each other for a couple of minutes, "So.. Pancakes?" I asked, he smiled and nodded, "Yeah, pancakes" he said as we turned and walked down the stairs together, "Good morning ma" I said kissing her cheek and flicking the switch on the kettle, "Good morning, darling" she said watching me closely, "Sleep well?" She asked, I looked at her with narrowed eyes, "Very, thank you" I said cautiously, she simply smiled and went back to reading the paper, "I'm off to work" dad said giving my mom a quick kiss and leaving, eventually Cassidy came down in a white robe, "That was thee best shower ever" she said flicking the switch on the kettle and making up a cup for herself, "Are you hungry?" I asked as she sat down with her tea, she smiled and shook her head but her rumbling stomach said other wise, "Are you sure?" I asked again, she smiled and nodded, taking a sip of her tea and looking around, "Where's Mr Fuentes?" She asked, mom's head suddenly shot up, "Stop calling us that" she laughed, "It's Mom and Dad or Vivian and Victor" she said shaking her head and smiling, Cassidy slowly nodded, "Where's Victor?" She asked again, "Work" Vivian said simply, Cassidy nodded and got up washing her cup out, I watched closely as I knew there was something up with her.
