Sequel to One In a Million, you don't have to read it to understand this one. I know I said I was going to post within the next few days, but I felt like posting the first chapter today.
Disclaimer: I do not own Life with Derek.
Background: It had been a few months since Casey and Derek had admitted their feelings to each other and they have been dating every since. Emily and Sam are the only ones that know about them, for now.
"Casey, you have to eat something." Derek said trying to convince her to eat. "No Derek, it won't stay down." She replied refusing.
"Oh come on, it might make you feel better." He said still trying to convince her.
"Derek, I've had this stomach virus for three days now. Which means I know eating something is not going to make me feel better." She stated, still refusing.
They had been having this argument for the past five minutes and Derek was still get nowhere. So he decided to go another route.
"Okay, but you won't get your reward if you don't eat something." He said in a hopeful voice.
"Oh" She replied "And what is this reward you speak of?" She asked in a curious voice.
"I was thinking of this…" He trailed off as he leaned in to kiss her, but before he could kiss her she pushed him away.
"I don't think so, I don't want you getting sick to." She said in a strict tone.
" I'm not going to get sick" He replied in a semi-whiny voice.
"You remember the last time you said." She said reminding him of when they had first started dating.
"Vaguely." He replied even though he remembered it very well.
He and Casey had been dating for about a month and it was still in late winter. Casey had gotten a cold from a snowball fight that they, Lizze, Edwin, and Marti had.
"You feeling any better Case?" Derek asked walking into her room.
"Not really, but thanks for asking." She replied with a smile.
"You're welcome… Space Case." He said with famous Derek Venturi smirk plastered on his face.
"DEREK, you know I hate that name." She responded.
"I'm sorry let me make up for it." He said as he kissed her and she pulled away. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"I don't want you to get sick." She replied.
"I'm not going to get sick." He said
"You sure?" She asked.
"Positive." He said kissing her again.
"The next day you woke up with a temperature of a hundred and two." She said dragging him out of his memory.
"Ok, ok I get the point." He replied with a groan.
"Ok, but I think you should go back to your room, before someone walks in." She replied sadly.
"Fine, but tomorrow you will eat something, even if it means I'll have to get sick in the process." He said with a smirk.
She gave him a small smile and then he was gone.
Later on the phone with Emily
"Hey Case how ya feeling?" Emily asked.
"I still feel like crap." Casey replied.
"Has Derek been taking care of you" She said with a laugh, already knowing the answer.
"Do you even have to ask Em?" She replied with a small laugh herself. "He's going with me to the doctor tomorrow."
"Speaking of going with you, have you guys told your parents yet?" She asked.
"No, we haven't really talked about it." Casey replied. "But we know we have to sooner or later."
"Yeah, in my opinion I'd rather it be sooner rather than later." Emily stated
"I agree with you, but we just haven't the right time, you know?" She said.
"Yeah, I know what you mean." Emily replied. "But I have to go babysit Dimi, so I talk to you later Case." She added
"Ok, bye Em." She replied then hung the phone up and went to sleep.
