Dreamings
My head throbbed and I tried to remember what happened after Emily had left. Nope
nothing came to mind I stared at the wall and noticed that it was unfamiar. A poster of a
half nude woman looked down at me with her tongue wrapped around a lollipop. Derek
had that poster I thought.
A chill ran down my spine as I clutched the covers and looked down at my body which was
totally nude. Turning over I was aware of another lump forming a body. I looked over to
try and catch a glimpse of the persons face…
DEREK:P OH MY GOD!!! What did I do?!? "Derek!" I whispered shaking his
unconscious body, he started to twitch and I just laid back down frustrated and not
wanting to wake him up as an embarrassment. He lifted the covers I as I had down earlier
and shook his head in a way that his angelic hair shagged around his face perfectly. He
turned over and I clenched my eyes shut shaking on the inside with fear.
The covers lifted once more and his head followed the same sequence as before. "Casey?"
He sounded like he was talking to himself. "Oh my god… Wake up, Case!!" He nudged
me in the ribs and my eyes burst open.
"God Derek if sleeping with you wasn't enough pain!" I tried to sit up but my hands were
weak. Derek looked at my wrists and I looked to. They were red and scratched. "What the
heck…?"
"Here give me your hands." He held his hands open and let the covers fall showing his
well toned chest and upper lower aria. My eyes fluttered and I looked away into another
'chick' on a wall.
After I h ad simply refused silently to let him touch me, he reached over and wrapped the
blanket tightly around me and slid me onto his lap where the blanket remained thin…
very thin… thin enough to see a 'sized' buldge. Sick, sick minded!! Stop Casey, stop!
Thoughts ran wild through my head.
Derek reached for a First Aid Kit in his bed side I looked at him expectantly and decided
to skip that conversation. A soft cloth touched the markings and moistened them. He
stroked them very gently then seemed to finally get what had happened but instead of
totally freaking out he calmly started a conversation.
"So it is obvious what we did." He sounded sure of himself as always. He stroked my hair
and then went on, "After Emily left do you remember what happened?" I shook my head
and waited leaning my aching head into his warm body.
"Well I had a few friends over including some of your friendly acquaints and we had Nora
and my dad's drinking stash in front of us. As usual you tried to talk us out of it but I,
being me, won that battle and got you to join. Now you are probably not familiar with all
the drinking games so I will explain the one that we played.
"So the game Truth or Dare you drink every time you say something that is a big secret. It
was your turn and you picked a truth a normal and safe one… that was until you found
out I was asking the questions while Seth was doing the dares. I asked you who your
crush was at the moment and at first you refused to tell us so we made you drink two
shots. Your next turn came and…"
What happened on your turn" I asked never wanting this moment to end.
"Nothing because I didn't have any secrets and I had already drank five shots of Tequila.
Now your turn came and you still would not tell me so three shots more and then you
were getting woozy.
"Me and you were giggling at the lights when all of a sudden we were alone and the lights
in the house were dimmed to an almost pitch black. Your head was on the table next to
our parent's note that stated that they and the other kids were away to Water Wonderland
for the weekend. Your eyes started clutching tighter and tighter and you started to scream
and I was startled so I started to shake you.
"'Derek is that you?' your precious voice sang in my ear. 'Yes I am here' after that you
smiled and leaned in on me where you started to massage my back and your eyes were
open now. I think about an hour after that I started to kiss you and we made our way
upstairs where we were indulged to caress each other as long as we were naked so you sat
timid and shy under the blanket while I stood bravely showing off what I had."
"Now we are here…" I whispered into his chest and I looked onto his golden eyes, "You
know I didn't want to admit this ever to anyone except Lizzie but… I should have
answered that truth… I have and always will love… you, Derek Venturi!"
A smile spread on his face, " I am so glad to here! I didn't want to tell you about my turn
because I have and always will love… you, Casey McDonald! Will you marry me?"
