GLEE'S SET:
Amber was on set worried about her week, she knew it would be hard for her to have time to rehearse with Derek, but he told her after the show that they would manage a way to rehearse but she's sad she didn't want to disappoint him when she was lost between her thoughts Chris arrived and sat next to her.
"What's happening?" he asked. "I know this will be a long day but you have to be strong!" he was concerned.
"Too many things to do" she answered "It will be hard but I'm worried about dancing with the stars" scratching her forehead.
"You have been doing great and last night the motorboat killed me!" he said smiling.
"Thanks! You're alive I can guarantee you that" she started laughing but her cell phone rang. She had received a text from Derek "Text: Hi ber ber. How are you after last night?" she read and started smiling and then answered "Text: Hi der der, I'm fine just a little sore".
Chris was looking at her waiting for to talk about the motorboat but he noticed that she was blushing. "That smile, who is he?" he asked curious.
"What?" she tried to look surprise "It's just Derek asking if I'm ok" she smiled.
"He's really sweet! So the motorboat…" he smiled. Chris really wanted to know who had the idea but her phone rang again. "You tell him you're busy right now".
She laughed when Chris talked about the motorboat but she had to see what Derek really want "Text: What do you want for a snack?" she read a little confused "Why he's asking me that!" she said out loud.
"What did he say?" Chris curiosity take the best of him again as he tried to see the message.
"What I wanted for a snack!" She repeated the question until she wrote back. "Text: Why?"
"Is there something you want to tell me Amber Patrice Riley?" Chris asked smiling at her while he saw her reaction to the question.
"There's nothing to tell" she said quickly. Derek answered and she wanted to avoid this conversation with Chris so she told him "We have to find a way to rehearse, just that" she said while she picked her phone again "Text: We need to talk how we will do things this week so I'm going to your place tonight to talk about it". She read and though what she wanted "In that case" she smiled while she answered the text "Text: I will let you decide then, surprise me".
"Guys It's time to go" Kevin said while he was passing there. Chris and Amber went with him.
"You will tell me everything about the motorboat, basically who had the idea…" he whispered to her and she didn't say anything.
AFTER 45 MINUTES:
Derek didn't want to wait until later to be with her so he went to the glee set to talk to Amber. When he arrived they let him go to the side and see what they were recording he was listening them sing and when he arrived he saw her singing.

"Great job guys! Let's take 40" someone said.
She was going in the other side with the rest of the cast but he got himself on stage and called her. Chris, Kevin, Chord and Naya stayed to see what would happen, they knew she liked him but she will never admitted.
"Hi babe!" Derek said smiling at her.
She turned around and was surprised to see him there. "Derek, what are you doing here?" she said surprised and almost crying.
"I needed to make sure that you're not dead and I couldn't wait for tonight because I had a great idea for the choreography" he said while was giving her a little hug "Is it a bad time? I can go if you want…" he said worried.
"No, stay" she said grabbing his hand and started to cry.
"Hey, don't cry ber ber!" he gives her a tight hug. Chord was jealous to see them with that complicity and intimacy, Naya had to grab his arm, pulling him away from there before he would have done something stupid.
"Do you want something to eat?" Chris asked Amber while she was trying to stop crying.
She looked at Derek and saw that he was worried "I'll be ok" she said.
"I brought our snack!" he whispered to her while she was still in his arms.
She turned around to see Chris and Kevin staring at them and saw Naya pulling Chord away "No, Derek brought me something" she smiled.
"Make sure that she eats something..." Kevin said looking at Derek.
"I will guys" Derek said while he grabbed her hand and got out of the stage with her.
GLEE DANCE STUDIO:
Amber and Derek were sitting on the floor like they were doing a picnic.
"That's a good idea!" she smirked.
"I thought so." he laughed.
She took the cookie from his hand and ate it.
"Hey, that was mine" he was trying to be shocked but she started laughing and he started too.
"Now It's too late" she got up "You have to pay attention to your food Mr. Hough"
"You think you will get out of this so easily" he got up and started stretching "I'll give you 5 seconds to apologize".
She didn't had time to run he grabbed her and started to tickle her.
"Stop it!" she was laughing too loud "You said 5 seconds".
Chris, Chord and Zach arrived and stand there looking surprised with what was happening.
"Amber it's time to go" Chris said laughing.
"You saw what he did? You should do something..." she told Chris trying to not laugh.
"Hell no, he's too gorgeous for that" Chris smirked "But I have something to ask you" he pointed to Derek.
"Sure" Derek nodded.
"Who had the idea of the motorboat?" Chris asked. Both Amber and Derek started looking at each other.
"That's a good question, it just happened actually" Derek answered.
"Yeah, right" Chris walked towards them.
"Stop!" Amber said smiling.
"Ok, it was my idea." Derek admitted.
"I knew it" Chris looked at her like he just won a trophy. "And you let him do that…"
Chord was angry with her but he couldn't take his eyes of Derek.
"I trust him and that's all you need to know" she told Chris.
Derek was happy when she said that. "We just did that a couple of times, one in our last rehearsal and on the live show, so don't worry" he puts his arm around her waist.
Chord wasn't liking so he decided to make him leave somehow, he turned to Amber "You have work to do so it's time for him to go" Chord said smiling but Derek didn't say anything.
"Actually, Zach can we rehearse here after I'm done recording?" she asked.
"Sure, we will be practicing if that doesn't bother you" Zach said that while he's looking for Derek.
"It doesn't" Derek answered "Well I'll see you later then" he smiled.
"Yes" she smiled too.
Chord was not happy with that but he couldn't do anything about so everybody left and Derek start to put some pieces together for their choreography.
AFTER 2 HOURS:
Amber and Derek were practicing for an hour now. They were happy and having fun like they always did when they were together. Derek liked her because she was funny and when he was with her he never stop laughing, Amber like him even more because he never left her think about the day she was having but made her get focused in their Charleston, not just that they were always enjoying every moment together.
"Now you have to do this..." he was showing her some moves.
"Like this?" she asked while she tried.
"Yeah babe, let's try together" he said.
Zach arrives for his rehearsal with Chord, Chris, Naya and Lea, they were the first to appear and they saw Amber and Derek having fun and laughing a lot while were dancing until Amber stops dancing.
"My butt hurts oh my god" she was smiling and Derek was laughing. "You think this is funny?"
"You use your butt muscle last night so..." he couldn't finish talking because she was hitting his arm e he just laughed more.
"You're such a dork." she said.
"But you like it" he replied a both started laughing.
Chris get near them very curious and happy to see that she was having fun.
"What he meant with butt muscle?" he asked curious.
"Man, you have to stop making questions" she said looking at Derek but she decided to tell him that story. "Yesterday, in the backstage we were practicing and when I did a car wheel" She had to stop because Derek started to laugh to loud. "I had to use my butt muscle" she answered.
"It was amazing" Derek keep laughing.
"Stop it" she told him hitting him again.
Derek's phone started ringing and he had to leave the studio for a moment "I'll be right back!"
Chris, Lea and Naya were laughing with Amber about the story while Chord was with Zach.
"You guys are always like this?" Lea asked.
"Yes" Amber smiled "Derek told me if I have to do something that makes me fell uncomfortable the best way to get through it, it's trying to having fun while you're doing it"
"I'm happy to see that you're having fun with him." Naya said.
"Yeah, he's great." Amber said.
"We noticed that" Chris said looking at Lea and Naya and they started laughing.
The rest of the cast arrived.
"I'm going to take a break" Amber needed to drink something so when she was getting her bottle of water Chord was looking at her very upset. "Everything ok?" she asked worried.
"Can we talk in private?" he asked and she nodded and both left the studio. When he stopped walking "You brought him here" he said "This is my place and he shouldn't be here".
Derek was heading to the studio when he saw Amber and decided to stay hidden to hear all the conversation. He knew he shouldn't do that but she told him last week what happen between them so he decided to stay and help her if she needed.
"First of all, I didn't brought anyone here, he came because he wanted and I'm happy that he's here" she looked at him "Second, this place it's more mine then yours so stop being territorial"
"This is our place" he said trying to reach her, but she stepped back.
"This was our place, but you ruin it" she's trying to keep the voice down "I'll never date you again"
"You rather him? Your Der Der" he started to make fun of her while she was surprised about he's using the nickname she gave to Derek. "You know that he will never look at you like a woman right? He prefers models and last time I checked you're not one" he attacked her.
"Go to hell" she said.
Derek saw the she was shocked and hurt about what he said so he decided to step in.
"Ber Ber we have to try another thing that I thought" he arrived and put his arm around her waist pulling her next to him. "Chord, I have something to say to you…" Amber interrupted him.
"Derek we need to practice so let's go." She said nervous that Derek would say something that she told him.
"Relax babe, I know what I'm doing." he looked at her with a smile, he turned to Chord "She's a woman I can guarantee you that and she's mine" she was surprised with what Derek said, the same happened with Chord "So you better leave us alone" he turned around grabbing Amber's hand and they went to the studio and started to practice a little but when Chord arrived everybody could see that she was nervous.
"Babe, do you want to leave?" Derek asked.
She looked at him thinking about what just happened and she couldn't believe in what Chord said but she was more surprised with Derek. She knew he whatever let anybody bug in her in front of him that's what he said when she told him how things ended with Chord, she never thought that he would really do that…
"Hey, are you listening?" Derek said while grabbed her hand.
"What?" Amber was confused "Sorry! What you said?"
"Do you want to leave? We can go to other place!" He asked again.
"Can you take me home? It's just that, I came with Kevin and he has to stay for a little longer" She asked and Derek nodded. "Maybe I make us something to eat if you want."
"Yes!" he started dancing and that made her smile "But you must know if you're a good cooker I'll never leave your home" he said smiling.
"Well, I have a whip that I never used so you can try to stay there" she said laughing while she grabbed her things.
"Whip?" Derek was surprised.
"Yes, I got it for my birthday when I was younger" she told him.
Derek never left her side while they were in the studio but when they were heading to the car Amber wanted to thank him for what he did but she didn't know how.
"You didn't need to say that" she said while she was looking for his car.
Derek thought that topic was closed but he wanted her to know that she was his friend and he will protect her. They stopped "I had to" he said pulling her head up to meet his eyes "he's not worth it, don't let him get into your head like that"
"This day has been difficult" she was avoiding to cry "Because of Cory and now this"
"If you have to cry, you just do it" he says hugging her "Nobody will be mean to you in front of me, I meant it when I said it the first time"
"You didn't had to give him the idea that we were together" she started crying "I don't want you to feel pity for me"
"Stop! We're friends this isn't pity but friendship" He looked at her and vice versa "I'm here for you no matter what"
"Thank you" she tried to relax.
"C'mon woman you have to cook for me remember!" He said while she started smiling.
"Yes I have" she said.
They kept hugging when she heard the alarm of his car being turned off and he grabbed her hand and went for the car.
