Summer Vacation

Chapter One

Casey had been living in the Venturi household for about six months, she was feeling that Nora, Lizzie and her were finally starting to settle in. Her new step-siblings Marty, Edwin and Derek were finally starting to rub off on her -- in a good way-- although Derek is still amazingly annoying, but Casey has kind of accepted the fact that her and Derek will never agree on everything, she actually found herself looking forward to their daily quarrels -- not that she likes to do that with him or anything--... It just seems that her life was finally getting back to normal, or as normal as possible. Summer is looking promising, junior year was breeze for Casey, but it will be nice not to worry about anything but sleeping late and lying in the sun with a good book, plus, her 17th birthday is just around the corner. Six days to be exact. The twenty-first of June. Nora and George have planned a family vacation to North Carolina, and even rented a nice cabin ten blocks from the beach. To Casey, it was the perfect way to spend her birthday. She couldn't wait to wear her new skirtini, go boogey boarding, make sand castles and, dare she say it, relax! And hopefully no one would spoil it, especially Derek. She had earned this vacation after a long year of non-stop studying. She wasn't going to let anyone get in her way of having a good time.

Derek was ecstatic to hear they were finally going on a proper vacation! And to the beach no less! He stopped a moment to think about all the perks, the hot girls in bikini's, boogey boarding, mini-golf, hot girls, boardwalk fries, hot girls. Aw man, he thought, this is going to be the best vacation ever! Derek knew Casey was happy too, and normally he would stomp all over that, but he decided to cut her some slack, he didn't want to ruin the vacation because he wanted to go just as much as she did. It was just another high to the list of highs he had been having lately. A steady job at the rink that pays well and a license to drive were pretty high on the list right now. Man, he couldn't wait to hit the sand and 'board' it up!

Casey realized that there might be a slight notch in her perfect vacation, when Nora and George sat her and Derek down for an important 'talk'. Casey was slightly overcome with anger at the thought that maybe they had cancelled the vacation. They couldn't! She wouldn't hear of it. And with stubborn "hrmf" she sat down on the couch to face her parents.

"Derek, Casey," Nora started "As you know, we are going to be driving down to North Carolina for our vacation." she paused, and Casey let out a breath of relief that they weren't going to cancel, but her mom had a slight wary gleam in her eye that caught Casey's attention, making it seem that this 'talk' might be something she won't like, so she listened intently when Nora continued. " The van is not going to fit all of us, and our luggage, so, Derek, I was wondering, since you now have a license and all, that you might want to take you and Casey in the jeep and follow us down!" She finished in a cheery voice.

The color drained from Casey face as she imagined being stuck in car, with Derek, for four whole hours! Uh uh, no way! she thought. She buried her face in her hands as Derek jumped on the couch screaming "YES!" at the top of his lungs and laughing at Casey's pained expression. "It won't be so bad honey" Nora told Casey and patted her back. " I'm sure you'll have lots to talk about and we'll be there in no time!" Casey grunted and left the room for a drink of nice cold water, to calm her angered nerves. She was not, repeat not going to let this get to her. She could fall asleep or read a book or something, and maybe he wouldn't bother her too much... hopefully.

The day of vacation had arrived. Casey was up at 5'o clock sharp, pulling everyone out of bed to go. To her surprise, Derek had been fairly easy to wake up, and was eager to help throw all the luggage in the cars. Casey was shocked, and almost commented, but she knew she shouldn't kick a gift horse in the mouth. The morning was going smoothly, and Casey took it as a sign that this vacation was going to run as smooth as butter. She even relaxed in the seat of Derek's jeep when they were about to pull out. Casey reached for her sunglasses and her book, "Sun Kissed", rolled down the window and settled in the plush chair for a good relaxing trip to the beach.

Derek reached for his aviator sunglasses as he pulled out onto the main road. With the window all the way down, Derek had one hand on the steering wheel and the other out the window, welcoming the cool breeze on the warm day. He felt amazing, even though it was 6 o'clock in the morning. It was like thinking of the beach and driving by himself put him on a permanent high. He wasn't even phased when Casey started reading her stupid little romance book as soon as she hit the seat. He had absolutely no nagging feeling to ruin it for her. For once, he thought, he would act a little selfless. He wanted everyone to have a good vacation, and that included Casey. Okay well, at least he'd give her an hour or two to bury her nose in that dumb book, then he'd blast her through the roof with the radio. He smirked. This was going to be great!

An hour and a half into her book, Casey started to drift off, dreaming of the hunky vet, Tucker, in her new book. Then her thoughts drifted to another hunk, one whom she would never admit that to because 1: he's her stepbrother and 2: it would go straight to his head. Normally, she would cut those dreams out, but she was feeling particularly good today and felt she could let herself have this one dream. Even in her subconscious, she was thinking rationally. She dreamt of the two of them boarding on the shore, making a sand castle, riding a four-wheeler across the sand in the moonlight and kissing in a dune at sunset. Of course that would never happen, but that didn't stop her from secretly thinking it or how amazing he looked in a bathing suit. Well chiseled abs, tanned skin, sparkling clear eyes, mussed hair and that cute little smirk he always made at her. She sighed in her dreamy state and drifted along to other thoughts of sand and cute boys.

Derek snuck at least twenty glances at Casey since she fell asleep. He couldn't help himself, she was just so darn cute when she was sleeping. She was relaxed and smiling, even in her sleep, and he felt himself enjoying that, since most of the time she was wound all tight and bent on acting 'perfect'. He was about to blast the radio, but he enjoyed seeing her rested form in the seat next to his. She was all stretched out, with the chair halfway back and that darn book still in her hand. Her hair had drifted in a rich chocolate cascade down the side of the seat. Her full lips in a small smile. It made Derek wonder what she was dreaming of. As he tore his eyes away to watch the road, he heard her move, he glanced over to see if she had awaken, only to find her in a very delicious position. She was panting slightly and had arched her back, giving Derek a nice view of her perfect breasts, clearly aroused through her white, cotton top. Then she let out a hiss and mumbled "Derek..." in a husky, passion filled voice. Derek jumped in his seat as an explosive heat surged to his lower half, causing his arms to jerk suddenly and almost causing the car to collide with the one in the next lane. He let out a breath of relief, but still couldn't shake the ache slowly building within him as Casey continued to moan and whisper his name. Damn!, he thought, that must be some dream! He had to stop her because he couldn't take much more. He pulled the map over his lap to hide the very obvious erection and reached a hand over to wake her up. As soon as his hand made contact with her creamy skin, for a second all he could think about was running his hands and kissing her all over. He shook his head to clear the thought, then lightly shook her awake. She had calmed down from the dream, thank god, and woke up slowly with heavy, blinking eyelids. She stretched her arms out and yawned. "what?" she asked Derek innocently, "I was in the middle of a good dream" "I'll bet" Derek mumbled under his breath. "Sorry Case, but you were snoring" he said out loud, this time.

Casey could feel that she was wet and sighed. Oh! what a lovely dream she had, had. Her innocent kissing with Derek in the dune at sunset quickly had turned into something more, and Derek woke her just when it was getting good. But when his hand touched her arm, she felt a tingle that reached all the way to her toes. She glanced over and smiled, and before he could catch her, she quickly turned her attention to the radio. Some tunes would be just the thing to help her forget her heated dream and pass the remaining time to the beach. She hit the radio button and cranked up the volume on her favorite station.

Derek was relieved when Casey turned on the radio, it gave him a chance to relax and cool his heated body. He was surprised to find that she had put on his favorite station. He guessed that maybe they had some stuff in common after all. He settled his sunglasses on the edge on his nose and relaxed as the coasted the rest of the way to the beach.
