Author's Note: I wrote this while listening to Hot Like Wow by NadiaOh over and over again. I got a little flash of inspiration. Also, this takes place during college. (As in, AFTER graduation.) Hope you like it.
The beat was thrumming, thumping, slamming through the entire building. Concrete walls and a marble floor gave the club a unique look that wouldn't normally be seen anywhere else. After deciding against her original choice of college, Casey MacDonald had picked something a little less… practical. She picked UCLA.
The dance/par-tay scene wasn't usually one she hung around in, but her new friend Haley said this place was going to be great. And since Casey had just finished a rather large load of school-work, she decided that she needed a fun break. So Haley, her friend and room-mate, dragged her out here after dressing her up in something the 'old' Casey wouldn't be caught dead in. The 'old' Casey was something Haley and all her vamped-out glory had dubbed the part of Casey that Casey 'left behind'.
I wasn't aware I did leave a part of me behind… Casey always thought when Haley told her that. It was a repetitive cycle. And quite a shock to look back and see how different she was after only three months away from home. 'Chill' was the word her new friends used.
Speaking of shocked… That's also how Casey felt when she found out that Derek would be attending UCLA as well. Both of them flew down together, but she hadn't really seen him since. But hey, who was she to complain? Less Derek, equaled a calmer, funner, newer Casey Marie MacDonald. Which led to moments like the one that was happening now…
The bass beat with a deep bellowing noise as Casey and Haley danced with each other on the dance floor. A new song switched over the speakers, and Casey almost squealed in delight. Key word: almost. Because that's when she saw him. Saw the bane of her existence dancing (more like having sex) in the center of the room. Derek Venturi, step-brother/antagonist, was grinding with some blonde (his usual type) to the fast, sex-coma-inducing song.
What? He couldn't find some other bar to… She struggled for the words in her mind, play around at?
She couldn't believe that out of all the bars and club in Los Angeles, he just so happened to choose this one. There had to be something going on here. Something he wasn't telling her about. Or maybe when she told Lizzie about the night out, it had gotten around to Edwin, and she just knew that it would get around to Derek that way. So, he was either here keeping tabs on her, or he was there to piss her off.
"Casey!" Blinking, Casey turned to face her red haired friend and tilted her head in question. "Why'd you stop dancing?! Is something wrong?!"
Haley had to yell over the music, and Casey couldn't help but laugh at her question. Though it was a little odd that she had stopped dancing just because she'd seen Derek. Shaking her head, Haley shrugged a bit and asked if she wanted something from a bar. Haley was shorter than her by a few inches, so Casey had to look down at her as the crowd moved around them.
"Yeah!" She replied. "I'll go with you!"
Casey was about to follow fiery, red hair through the tangle of sweaty bodies, but was stopped by a hand on her wrist. Twisting around, her bright blue eyes met with a pair of emerald green ones. A dazzling smile was her response to the man's questioning gaze. He flashed her a grin, and it almost made her melt, but it didn't seem quite right. He had sandy blonde hair, and she could just reach up and thread her fingers through it, but, after a moments thought, she settled with moving against him in a deep fluid movement.
It was strange though…
The entire time she was dancing with Mr. Green-Eyed-No-Name, Casey kept looking over at Derek. Finally, as burning blue danced over bodies to get to his, smoldering chocolate met her gaze.
The way you walked
in
I saw you standing there
You caught me staring at you
Hot
Like Wow
Gulping, Casey looked away quickly. Then she thought twice of it, and looked back over to her step-brother, only to see him excusing himself from the girl he was with and slowly threading his way through the crowd and towards her.
You came a little
closer
You know you make me blush
You got a body that is
Hot
Like Wow
A hot flush spread along her cheek bones as he got closer and closer. Suddenly, her entire body felt like it had been lit on fire. But in the good way. If there was such a thing… Her breath hitched slightly as he tapped No-Name on the shoulder, and politely (or as politely as Derek could) cut in.
And all my friends
they tell me
You know they think I'm crazy
The things you've
got me doing
Hot Like Wow
Soon, Casey's entire being was a nervous wreck like back in Canada. Her hands shook a little, and her breathing came just a tad faster, and her pupils were so wide that her eyes almost looked black. (Oh, and did she mention the rapid heart beat?)
They say they don't
believe me
But I know they're just jealous
The freaky things
you do are
Hot Like Wow
His hands fell almost hesitantly to her hips and her body was no longer under her control. They moved against each other on the floor like they belonged together. Like they were made to dance (in this way and in a much more intimate way as well) together. She could feel his heart thrumming to the beat under her palm as she rested her hands against his chest.
And all I wanna
do
Is find a boy like you
Someone to make me feel
Hot Like
Wow
(Hot Like Wow)
Her fingers curled around the soft material of his shirt, and his hands gripped her hips tighter. Tugging him closer, she could smell him, and damn did he smell good. Like peppermint and something else. Something… Derek.
And if you want me
to
And I just watches you
You got a body that is
Hot Like
Wow
(Hot Like Wow)
She'd noticed him back home. Noticed him real well. But he was always doing something stupid to mess up the moment. The moment when she was supposed to realize just how much she was attracted to him. Because damn he was attractive. (Understatement of the century.) So, now, in the middle of the heat and the sweat and the stick, she finally felt it. That burning, undeniable attraction.
And when I see you
boy
You make my heartbeat jump
I can't stop looking at you
Hot
Like Wow
The tension was tangible as he ground into her, and she felt just how much he was attracted to her. It made the molten lava pooling in her stomach, drop a little lower and caused her toes to curl a bit in anticipation.
I think of all those
things
I wanna do with you
And then I try to stop it
Hot
Like Wow
Biting her lip, she arched into him; making sure that pretty much every part of their bodies were touching. He groaned and tugged her closer, sending a warning message with his eyes. Casey couldn't help but smirk in response, and tug at his shirt for extra measure. Sending a small message of her own, but using her mouth to do so as she pressed her hot lips to his slightly parted ones.
I bet you look much
better
With no clothes on
Although I know I shouldn't
Hot
Like Wow
The tension snapped like a crack of thunder as their mouths worked against each other in a suppressed-for-four-years fury. Hands tugged and pulled, and they still moved in time with the song, only getting more intimate with the movements themselves. Her fingers tangled in his dark brown hair as his hands made trails of unseen fire along her tight little body.
I know you see me
looking
I see you looking too
You know you make me feel
Hot
Like Wow
He pulled from the kiss panting; his dark eyes looking darker than ever. They stayed locked on her pouting lips as she brought in ragged breath after ragged breath. He smirked at his handy work, and her eyes narrow dangerously before she snagged his lips with hers again. As she nipped at his lower lip, they both knew they couldn't hold off anymore.
"Let's get out of here." He muttered into her ear, and she nodded in response.
And all I wanna
do
Is find a boy like you
Someone to make me feel
Hot Like

Pulling back from him, Casey dragged him to the bar to pick up her purse from behind the crowded bar. Haley 'new' people. The red head gave her a quick nod as Casey waved and mouthed 'call me' over her shoulder.
Before they could even make it out the door, Derek had pushed her into a wall and had his mouth on hers once more. Moaning into it, she tugged at his shoulders and tried to press herself closer to him. He pulled away before things got too heated, and she stared up at him, eyes burning and chest heaving in her tiny halter top.
A little boy like
you
To make my dreams come true
You got a body that is
Hot

(Hot Like Wow)
"Damn it, Casey," He growled out, and his voice sounded so strained to her. Like he'd been—"It's been too damned long. I've been waiting for you to—"
She shut him up with a quick kiss. Giving him her signature smile, Casey pulled him out the larger metal door and into the loud hot night that engulfed LA on a regular basis. The music following them out into the street to the taxi where they only continued the erratic, frantic, crazed touching and kissing as they were driven to his apartment.
Casey awoke to a high pitched ring, and she struggled to untangle herself from the tangled sheets around her. Glancing at the red numbers on the digital alarm clock on the nightstand next to her, she sighed at the time. She never slept this late. Picking up only when she was sure it wasn't her mother, Casey answered with a perky yet groggy and sated voice.
"Yes," She blinked slowly as strong arms wrapped around her from behind and pulled her close.
"How was it?" Haley's voice chirped in through the speaker of her phone, and Casey almost rolled her eyes at how happy her friend sounded.
"It was fine," Casey mumbled, shifting so that she could see Derek's face as he slowly came awake.
"Just fine?" Her voice was unconvinced. "It had to be epic. I mean, did you see that guy? He was hawt… Like, wow."
"Alright…" Casey sighed in defeat, not willing to put up much of a fight as Derek's lips curled into a lazy smile. "It was perfect."
"Not to mention way over-due." His voice came out like gravel, and Casey's own lips went up into a grin.
"Is that him???"
"Sorry, I have to go Haley. I've got a big dumb jerk to deal with here. He takes so much attention." Sighing dramatically, Casey hung up the phone only to be pulled into yet another mind-blowing kiss that would most likely lead to more earth-altering sex.
