Casey found herself in a very blah mood. She was suppose to go out tonight with her boyfriend, Aaron, but she just couldn't get herself to feel right. She tried to call him and cancel but his phones turned off and he'd be there soon anyways. As she was sitting in her extremely comfortable lazy boy sipping on her favorite lemon lift tea, she heard a sudden knock on her flat door. Assuming it was Aaron she started talking before opening the door fully.

"Hey Aaron, I'm not-," Casey lost all feeling in her mouth, well, her whole body for that matter, "Derek?"She gently whispered, not even believeing what shes seeing.

"Hey my favorite step-sis, got a couch I can bunk on for the night?" He smirked, which pissed the hell out of Casey. She hated that stupid half smile.

There in front of Casey was a familiar stranger. She couldn't believe her body's sudden wash of relief. She's missed her family so much; he was the only thing she had when she moved to Europe. But the only thing he wanted was a place to crash.

Do I look like a freaking hostile? Casey thought.

"Wow, straight to the point. Well I never took you for the 'I just stopped by to say hello' type anyways" She said with a smug look on her face.

"You know I've missed my little keener!" Derek loudly stated with that stupid smirk on his face.

"Sure, that's why the last time I talked to you was five months ago during Christmas" Casey rolled her eyes and was ready to close the door.

"Uhhh NO! It was Derekus" He put his hands on his hips and looked deeply offended.

"Whatever, cad, you have plenty of friends, you do not need me." Casey stated without making eye contact

"I don't have anywhere else to go Case; I need you now more than ever." He looked at her. She couldn't help but shiver when his chocolate eyes met her.

"Derek, you've never needed me for anything." She choked out bitterly.

"I'll always need you Spacey." He said looking down at her after what felt like forever. Casey's eyes shifted down to avoid his as her breath caught.

"You're just saying that because you're standing in the snow." She smiled slightly. Derek put his hand under her chin and lifted her face to make her look at him.

"Maybe, but if you let me in I will explain everything to you." A hopeful gleam shined through his eyes. Casey couldn't help it; he looked like a little boy begging for candy.

"Okay, just don't Derek up the place while you're here!" And with that she fully opened the door to her apartment .

"It's too dorkafied for me to do any serious damage anyways, maybe a little bit of improvement though" Derek says while looking at some very pink pieces of artwork, chuckling to himself.
