If you like Casey's "good girl" attitude then this story will not be for you. I hope you enjoy the story. This is their third year at Queen's. The story starts in the cafeteria at Queens.

I DO NOT OWN LIFE WITH DEREK

"Casey what are you going to do, it's not like you can stay there anymore. That chick is nasty. She is scary and mean and a thief. She hasn't paid you rent in the year and a half you have lived together" Casey's friend Allianna said.

Casey laughed a little under her breath. Her friend was a small bundle of mega drama queen. She was 5 foot nothing with fire red hair. Casey would place money that if the world was going to end, Allianna would already know when, and how it was going, Where every guy was going to hide and with whom.

"Don't worry I kicked her out this morning, she had some random men with her last night so I made them help her with her stuff" Casey was smiling as she talked.

Allianna grabbed Casey's arm as a worried look crept across her face. "Casey your place is too big; you had to take a second job just to cover the basics there. What are you going to do?"

Casey knew her second "job" could cover the bills and more but she hasn't told anyone what her job was. She allowed them to think that she was pulling double shifts at the hospital.

The memory of her first year at collage flooded her head.

She got a job at the hospital across town as soon as she started collage. It helped her with her medical studies and brought in a pay cheque. Casey loved working there. The people were nice and the pay wasn't great but the smiles more than made up for it. Casey had to drive an hour across town to get to work but she never minded it, it gave her a chance to think. When her "roommate" stopped paying rent, the shift at the hospital was not enough to pay for the place Casey was renting.

Going for a drink one night at a small pub down the street from the hospital Casey tried to figure out what to do about the money issue. Spotted a help wanted sign on the bulletin board on one of the walls in the ladies room. The job was not something Casey would want to do but she loved her new home and wanted to do anything to keep it. Coming out of the bathroom she sat at the bar and after chatting with the bar tender Casey concluded that serving drinks at a bar would be just the thing she needed to get the extra cash.

The interview was over before it even started, the owner took one look at Casey and said "Hey you must be Casey the one who called, my name is Chris; I'm the owner here, when can you start?"

Casey was happy when she started. The place was always packed and tips were amazing. One night one of the waitresses's walked up to Casey with a bag in her hand. Casey pulled out a short; I mean show your ass cheeks short school girl skirt and a matching shirt. The shirt was only an inch wider then her bra. From that day forward Casey quit the hospital and only worked at the bar.

Casey snapped back to reality when she felt her friend pull on her arm.

"Casey why is that guy over there staring at you?"

Casey looked around to spot who her friend was referring to and spotted the one person she did not want to see. It had been 2 years since Casey saw Derek. Their parents were busy with the new child in the family so they really didn't mind having them come home one at a time.

"Oh him" and she pointed at some random guy standing the opposite direction of Derek.

"NO I mean that guy is just looking because your sexy no I mean the drop dead sexy man over there" She pointed right at Derek. "The one who looks happy yet mad at the same time. He hasn't taken his eyes off you. It seems like he knows you cause every time you look in his direction he drops his smile and when you look away he smiles again"

Casey rolled her eyes and looked at her friend. "That is Derek, Remember me telling you about a guy at my high school who use to prank me all the time and call me down. Ya well that's him."

"You never told me he was tall, tanned and a Greek sex god."

Casey stared at her friend. "Are you out of your mind, Derek is no…"

Casey looked over at Derek when she was talking and stopped mid sentence. -Not seeing Derek for 2 years did wonders. He had grown at least a foot and filled in around the face more. He still had his bad boy look but what he had in high school seemed more like a "bad toddler" compared to the sex appeal dripping off him now.

Casey literally had to take a step back. 'When did I start thinking Derek had sex appeal?' she thought to herself.

Finally looking around she noticed Derek was looking at the board where collage students either posted roommates needed or went to find a place to live.

"It's a shame you never see him smile, I swear I might need a new set of panties soon" Allianna said

Casey thought about her comment for a few seconds.' If he changed that much in two years I bet his smile has too, and yes I do want to see it. How? Well he always smiled when a prank went right or when the girl he liked said yes to a date and when he heard me scream…'

The thought was cut off there. Casey bent down to whisper in her friend's ear.

"You want to see that man smile, just watch."

Casey stood up, climbed onto her chair then onto the table. Not caring if her skirt had rode up a bit of not.

Looking down to her friend who was staring at her with questioning eyes she motioned for her to watch Derek's face the planted her hands on her hips and inhaled a huge breath and let it all out on one word.

"DER'EK" She screeched the same way she did in high school and true to her word the most amazing smile crossed his gorgeous face.

Allianna watched as the man smiled and started heading in their direction. Casey stayed standing on the table.

Derek walked up to the table and stopped 3 feet from her and looked right into her eyes.

"I didn't do it, it was Ed." He said and they both burst out in laughter. Casey then leaped of the table toward him. She expected him to side step and let her fall. She was ready to land her jump but instead he took a step toward her and caught her and twirled her around in a huge hug.

"That was wonderful Space-Case, how did you know I needed a pick me up. That was like music to my ears" he whispered to her before he put her back on the floor.

Casey stood there shocked.

"Wow Casey, for someone you say hated you he seems to be really nice, hi I'm Allianna" Allianna stood up and stuck her hand out toward Derek.

"Charming to meet you, I am Derek, Casey's st…"

Casey snapped out of her shock just in time to stop Derek from telling anyone who he was.

"Derek... yes I'm sorry… umm, Allianna this is Derek my high school friend, Derek this is Allianna my... my"

Allianna laughed "She's trying to find the right words to say best friend and pocket sized bundle of fun".

They shook hands then both turned to look at Casey.

"So umm Derek how have you been, you know with school and …" Casey tried to ask

Derek leaned his head forward. "Hockey… " laughing a little he continued "Well both are great, I am top 10 in all of my class's I would say top 5 but I'm in 6th place in my marketing coarse. Hockey is well. Our Coach and the Capitan of the team are both leading us to a lot of victories. How have you been Case, are you still dancing?"

Casey could not believe what she was hearing. Derek was talking with… manners, no joking tone, he hugged her, he was good at school AND asked how she was doing.

"What just... never mind I will take it when I get it, I have been well, also in the top ten in my classes (she didn't want to mention she was sitting at 9th place), and Work is good. As for dancing, no I gave up that part in my life; I dance for fun but only at the bar"

Derek laughed, "That I do not believe" and he turned to Allianna."Have you ever stayed at her place?"

Allianna nodded

"Does she still dance around while cooking?"

Allianna nodded again then turned her head to the side and asked Casey "how does he know you dance when you cook?"

Panic hit Casey's face and Derek saw it instantly. He loved that look on her. With a soft laugh he looked over at Allianna then back to Casey "we use to have home economics together"

Allianna scratched her head then pulled Casey down to her level to whisper "Hey you need a roommate, you guys seem to be hitting it off why don't you ask him, he was just looking at the board you know. And for fuck sakes lady, get a grip I have never seen you this nervous before. If you're lucky he will need a room and could share yours. If you don't fuck him I will."

Allianna giggled at the "deer in headlights" look on her best friends face.

"Well Derek it was nice meeting you but I am going to be late for classes, I hope to see you around again." With that she took off leaving Casey and Derek to talk.

They both stood there in silence as the cafeteria cleared out. Afternoon classes were starting soon and Casey knew she should leave to but her feet couldn't figure out how to walk away. Derek was playing with something in his hand while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Umm we saw you over there looking at the renter's board, you looking for a place?" Casey asked nervously.

"Ya I am, my roommate decided he wanted his boyfriend to move in and even though I see nothing wrong with that fact I do find it really hard to sleep as they are both moaning louder than my music."

Casey started fidgeting with the hem of her skirt. 'What the hell is wrong with me? This is the old Casey. I am strong, I am fun. I don't get nervous.' Casey thought to herself and straightened her back and put down the hem of her skirt.

"Well I guess you are in luck, I kicked my roommate out this morning, and you can rent her room if you want."

Derek locked his eyes on hers. "What's the catch?"

"No catch. Rent is $400 a month, you have to buy and cook your own food, clean up after yourself. I work most nights so imp not home for supper. With these hours I would ask that if you do though a party I know beforehand and it ends around 2am when I get home."

Derek looked at her confused. "That's it? okay I didn't want to mention it before but who are you and what have you done to the real Casey?"

Laughing at his question, Casey placed a hand on his chest "didn't you get the news letter Hun? This is the real Casey. I was about to ask the same of you, acting all smart and nice, it's not like you. Do you want the room or not?"

Derek took out his iPhone and asked. "What's the address I will swing by tonight and take a look"

Casey spouted out the address, then added, "I will be home tonight till 6 then I'm off to work, if you want to see it then come before I need to leave. I better get to my class now, we are both late."

Casey started to walk away when Derek grabbed her arm.

"You know Case, three years ago I would have never even considered this, but today I just want to say… thanks for offering to let me move it. I will see you later"

He pulled her in for a fast hug then walked away. Once Casey was out of site Derek pulled out his phone.

"Hey dude, ya she said she was working but I still do not see why you told me to move in with her or won't tell me where she is working… Ya Ya I played it cool like you said, I don't think she bought it though… I have to admit You were right she is pretty good looking… so how long did your girl live with her?... and you are sure Casey kicked her out this morning… no dude I don't need to see the marks you got loading her stuff into your truck… I'm going over tonight I will let you know if I am moving in, but I doubt it, I lived with a girl like her before… fine bye"

Derek hung up the phone. His buddy told him about his girl being kicked out of her place that morning and Derek had been looking for a place to live for the last 2 months. He was crashing at different team mates place but he needed something fast so the Coach wouldn't kick him off the team. When he was told that the chicks name was Casey something and that she was a keeper dirty girl, Derek never pictured his step sister fitting the description, keener yes but dirty girl never. When Derek saw Casey talking to her friend his jaw almost hit the floor. She was wearing a form fitting black skirt that most cheerleaders would think was short. Her top was a simple button up shirt but she had the first three buttons undone, and a black vest that pushed her boobs up and together to give her the perfect cleavage. Her hair was twisted into a clip and some loose strands fell along her neck. She had a little bit of makeup on but nothing that looked to trashy. Perched on her perfect nose was a simple pair of glasses. Naughty teacher was the best way to describe Casey's new look.

Derek liked the idea that no-one in the school knew Casey was his step sister, he made sure to watch what he said about his family so no one would find out. It seems Casey did the same.

'Maybe this won't be as bad as it was back in Toronto, Casey sure has changed, and she seems fun'

Derek could not focus the rest of the day. The image of Casey kept popping into his head. By the end of the day all Derek wanted was to get the viewing over with and tell his buddy that it wouldn't work.

Walking to his car he spotted Casey heading in the same direction.

"Hey princess mind if I come to your place now"

Casey didn't notice Derek until she heard him call her princess. All through high school she yelled at him to never call her that but as the words slipped out of his mouth she realized she really missed it.

"Sure Derek, did you want to ride with me or follow behind?"

"I will follow, that way I will have my car"

As Derek walked up to the prince he noticed some jack ass parked his red mustang convertible so close to his he couldn't even open his door.

"fuck off, why is it that the little rich kids who get their parents to get them cars always believe they can do whatever they want, I'm tempted to key this basturd's car just for parking so close"

Casey ran over to him and grabbed the hand he held his keys in.

"Please don't do that, it's such a nice car"

"Ya it is, I guess the douche bag is lucky his parents have good taste."

Casey giggled and let go of his hand and started going through her bag to find her keys. Pulling them out she turned her head back in Derek's direction but he had walked to his car and was leaning agents the hood.

"So what beater is yours?" Derek asked

Casey walked up to him adding extra wiggle to her step and placed her hands on the hood of the prince on either side of his hips, leaning in really close.

"I'm the douche bag parked beside you"

Casey stood up. Went over to her car, jumped in and started it up. Derek was still looking at her slack jawed when Casey got the top rolled down.

"So Derek just follow me, the place is a about a ten minute drive from here" Casey said as she backed up her car so Derek could get into his.

AN- so please tell me what you think. I do have chapter 2 half written and will be posting as soon as I am done.
