Derrick's Apartment

Manhattan, New York

10:00 am

Massie woke up in the arms of her boyfriend, Derrick, sleeping in nothing but his Hugo Boss plaid boxers. She nudged his arm to wake him, so that he would set her free, but all that did was make him hold on to her tighter.

"Derrick, wake up baby. It's the first day of our winter break together as college seniors," she whispered in his ear trying to break free from his grasp.

"Mass…nooo… not now. Five more minutes, stay here with me baby girl."

"Fine. You have five more minutes, but I'm not staying with you I NEED to go take a shower. I have day old hairspray in my hair."

"Mmmhmm, watevs," he kissed her forehead before letting her go and falling back to asleep.

She got up and walked over to his bathroom and looked her self over in the mirror.

"Crap," she rubbed the bags under her eyes, "I look like crap." She stripped down and walked over to the shower and turned on the water as hot as it would go, then used he La' Octaine loofa to scrub her self down. Ten minutes later she came out of the bathroom in her robe to see Derrick looking for something on his lap top. She walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, and inhaled. He smelled like Old Bay and after shave.

"Hey," she whispered into his ear, gently blowing into his ear.

"Hey," he said, "haha, oh my god Massie that tickles."

She unwrapped her arms from around his neck, and sat on his lap, and looked at what was on his computer. She read what she saw out loud:

"Seven tickets to… CANCUN?????" Jumping up and looking at the screen closer making sure she wasn't mistaking.

"Yup. Damn. I wanted it to be a surprise." Derrick said smiling.

"EH….MY…GAWD!" she jumped on his lap facing him and smiled. He leaned in closer and kissed her on her cheeks, nose, and then her lips. Soon enough they were making out on his computer chair. Massie pulled away to take a breath then realized she was only in her robe, and it was half off revealing her chest.

"Oh my gawd! I'm not wearing clothes!" she giggled at her self and in a flirty way ran towards the closet.

"I know…and I liked that," he said chasing her playfully into the closet. Once he got to her he picked her up by her waist and twirled her around then put her down in front of her clothes. Massie picked out a Ralph Lauren fuchsia sweater and some dark denim jeans to compliment them. Thinking about the weather she put on a pair of coffee colored Uggs, and went to the bathroom to put her make up. She put on some MAC eye shadow, liner, and mascara, then she put on some Burt's Bees champagne colored lip gloss. When she came out she saw Derrick wearing an Armani sweater and some Hugo Boss jeans.

"How bout some breakfast?" she said walking out of the room into the hallway which lead to main part of the spacey loft.

"Yeah, sure, can we have cereal?"

"If by cereal you mean Special K, sure wth not, I don't see anything wrong with it."

"Aww… come on Mass please can we have Captain Crunch? Just for today, I'll never ask again puh-lease?" he said making his puppy dog face that would always get Massie to give in to whatever he asked for.

"Well…" she put her perfectly manicured index finger on her face, "fine, but just this once. I know I'll even make a deal with you, twice a month you can have a whole day of junk food. But, only twice a month." she held up two finger just to make sure she got her point across.

"Oh my god! I knew there was a reason I keep you around." he said grinning cheekily. Massie rolled her eyes even though she was smiling. Derrick walked past her to the pantry and brought out a box of Captain Crunch, and on his way to the table, he brought out a container of skim milk, the only kind Massie allowed him to drink, and two bowls and spoons. Meanwhile Massie was putting napkins and table mats on the table.

"You're gonna love this Mass, they even make low fat version of all the cereals I like," he said pouring some cereal then milk into her bowl.

"Derrington, you better make up big time for this, or I'll kill you," she said slowly lifting her spoon to her mouth.

"I will… tonight once we are in Cancun. Now eat up quickly we also have to pack and pick up Josh and Claire, Dylan, and Kristen and Kemp."

"WHAT?! How long do we have until your private jet leaves?"

"Four hours."

"Only four?' she screamed nearly choking on her cereal, "I'll never be ready in time!" She jumped up and raced back to the room. Derrick got up from the table and followed his girlfriend to their room. Once he got in he saw her laying out 5 different bags, two Louis Vuitton suitcase, 2 medium sized duffels, and one Dooney & Bourke tote bag. She was racing putting dresses in one suitcase, jeans in the other, shirts and blouses in the duffels, and bikinis and cover-ups in the tote bag. Just as she was going to get another tote for toiletries and other things, she felt her sidekick vibrate in her pocket.

KRISTEN: OMG!! CN U BLEEV WE R GOIN TO CANCUN?

MASSIE: NO! 7 OMFG THAY ONLY GVE US 4 HRS TO FREGGIN PACK!

KRISTEN: I KNO!

MASSIE: C U IN 5 HRS.

KRISTEN: BYE GIRLIE

Knowing that she was not the only on freaked out by this trip she slowed down and walked out of the closet and towards her boyfriend who was already magically packed. He smiled patted the bed twice for her to come over. She smiled back and laid down next to him.

"You have 2 hours left."

"Shut up." She kissed him, and then got up but, Derrick pulled her back down and they started making out. Pretty soon he was ready to go the next level but Massie got up leaving him wanting more.
