I don't think the passenger seat has ever looked this good to me…
"Oh, come on, Spacey. It can't be that bad." Derek teased, nudging me lightly on the shoulder. It's the first Saturday of the month, and if you're curious why the heck am I with Derek instead of my usual "sane" friends, it's a VERY long story. All I can tell is that it, of course, involved Derek pranking the hell out of me, and our parents being angry, so they 'forced' us to be with each other for the rest of the weekend! Talk about cruel.
I looked at Derek, pretending to glare, but in truth I was admiring how perfect his lips are. How red and kissable they look, how… Hold it! I did not just think of that, did I? Oh, no! I'm going crazy!!!!!!!!!!
I, Casey Mcdonald who's totally in control of myself, tried to focus my attention on the wind shield in front of me…but I just can't! I feel like hyperventilating. Did I just admit that Derek- the world's biggest jerk ever - has kissable lips that I really want to kiss????!!!!!!! Derek glanced at me, his eyes worried. "Hey, Spacey, what's wrong with you? You look like you've seen a ghost… your eyes are like bulging out of your sockets." Derek pinpointed, his voice marred with a bit of concern. I glanced at him, surprise. Derek? Concerned? That's like… wow!
"Nothing." I whispered. "I'm fine." Yeah, I'm fine. Totally fine. I sighed. What is wrong with me? Why am I fantasizing about my step brother's lips? It's not like it's his best feature. His eyes are the best thing about him. Just like his strong and in my opinion, reliable biceps. Wait, what?
"You sure?" Derek asked, his right hand leaving the steering wheel, touching my face. Oh my god! Derek's hand is burning hot; I swear I felt electrocuted just now. I jerked away from him, surprising him. And I guess, making him angry too. "Fine. Whatever you say, Klutzilla. The bulging eyes suit you actually." He remarked, his voice full of anger. "Makes you look so much prettier." Derek whispered.
I crossed my shoulders, trying to pretend that him being angry is no big deal. Hell, we've fought so many times before. Why would his anger matter? I glanced at him again, and I almost giggled. Hey, I never realized that angry Derek is so cute.

He tells about his night, and I count the colors in his eyes...
"So D, how's your date with Sally?" I heard Sam, my ex-boyfriend asked my step brother Derek. I was walking down the hall way that time, wanting to get to my locker as soon as possible because of the mud in my dress. There is no way I'm letting anyone see me this way! But upon hearing Sam asked Derek about Sally… I don't know. I actually hid behind one of the walls, wanting to hear Derek's answer! Geez, I'm really developing a not so great crush on him.
"It was cool. She's great, but I decided to end things between us." Derek answered, grabbing his Biology notebook in the process. Derek what?
Sam looked at him, surprise. "What? Why?" he asked. I nodded in my hiding place, agreeing with Sam's question. I 'may be' developing something WEIRD for Derek but that doesn't mean I'm losing my rationality. Whether I like it or not, I have to admit, Sally is such a nice lady. Hell, even our parents think that she's 'the one' for that buck-o!
Derek just shrugged. "No particular reason." And he left the locker rooms.

He'll never fall in love, he swears… as he run his fingers through his hair.
It was Wednesday evening and Emily, my best friend, is sleeping over at our house. I know, it's kinda stupid to do that. After all, her house is only next door, but whatever. I need some female company. "Oh, my gosh, Casey. You're totally in love with him!" Emily squealed at me, referring to Drake, the previous guy I dated. Me? In love with that chauvinistic bastard? Whatever. It's better if she wouldn't know about the 'problems' I'm having with Derek this past few months. I doubt that she'll approve me liking the 'man of her dreams'.
"Yeah. I guess. I'm so in love with him." I said, my voice full of emotion. I'm so in love with his ways, his smile, and his eyes. Yep. I'm so referring to 'Drake'. Whatever.
But Emily did not hear any word that I'm saying because the 'man of her dreams' just step inside the house, looking so tired and ragged from his hockey practice. "Hi Derek!" She greeted him, her voice squeaking.
Derek nodded at Emily, and I almost laughed at her. She looked like she was about to faint! Honestly!!!!
I looked at Derek, and I caught my breath in my throat. He… he looks so damn gorgeous! His unruly hair matching his mischievous and twinkling eyes. His smile… I guess that's what you can call a killer smile! "So, is it true? Space Case the Klutzilla is in love?" Derek teased, his face full of his dramatics.
"Shut up, Der-bear." I snapped at him. Why is happy with the fact that everyone thinks I'm in love with another guy???? "As if, you haven't fallen in love yourself."
He sat beside me, making Emily jealous, and he placed his hands on my shoulders. I guess he's trying to irritate me with the fact that he's still so sweaty, but I don't know… his scent is so masculine. I faked pushing him, and he laughed. " I will never fall in love, Case." He finally said, running his fingers through his hair.
"Oh, yeah, Derek. We'll see about that." I shouted at him when he's about to enter his room.

I'm laughing cause I hope he's wrong.
"Come on, Casey. Admit it. You wear black undies!" Derek teased me, while tickling me mercilessly. It's been months since I admitted to myself that I liked him, and we had been friends since the 'I'll never fall in love' incident. Talk about weird, huh?
I pushed him, accidentally touching his muscled chest, and I blushed. He's so hot. "No, I do not. You're so wrong." I answered, laughing.
"Really, huh?" Derek teased me, whispering slowly in my ear.

And I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
"Okay, Space Case. Use PAUL four times in a sentence." Derek said to me while we were watching a documentary regarding Shakespeare. Our parents are out, and the children have long gone to bed. It's just me and Derek, to my surprise. I'm also surprised that he managed to watch the documentary for 10 whole minutes without bothering me. Well, the 10 minutes are already gone, so here he is… killing me with his corny jokes.
"Okay, how?" I asked him, turning the TV off. The show is already boring me. Watching Derek came up with jokes are much more interesting. I looked at Derek, and I smiled. The mischievous glint in his eyes are back again.
"PAUL, be carePAUL, you might PAUL in the swimming PAUL." He said, laughing hysterically after. I smiled a little. I gotta admit, it's corny. But watching him laugh sure is fun. I slapped him in the thighs, rolling my eyes. "Go to sleep, Derek."

That I know all his favorite songs…
"Hey, Casey. What will you give Derek for his birthday?" Edwin asked me all of a sudden. He's in my room, comfortably sitting in my girly bed. I don't know why the fact that my room is so girly girl doesn't bother him unlike Derek. I guess, they're not just the same.
I faced him, turning my back against my computer, and I smiled widely at him. "It's a secret!" I stuck my tongue out. I like Edwin because he accepts all my childishness. "How about you?' I asked him.
Edwin smiled mischievously at me, a smile that kinda reminded me of Derek. "I'm giving him a free membership card on the Motel 5 blocks away from here." Edwin answered. I looked at him, shocked. "You what?" I asked him again, tossing my pillow at him.
Edwin ran out of my room, laughing hysterically. "I was just kidding, Casey." He shouted back at me. I paused, smiling. "Oh, yeah?"
Edwin turned around and he approached me, the mischievous smile still in place. "The truth is… I'm actually giving him a picture of you." And with that, he ran back to his room.
"Oh, okay." I whispered. I returned to my room, wrapping my gift. It's a compilation of the songs he like, with the cd case signed by his favorite band- the Lifehouse.
Okay. That is just the start. I'll place the Chorus some time later this week. tada! Oh, and please review. It's been a long time since I;ve written a story, so give me your opinions.
Love ya!
