Ever since Derek started to open his heart to love again, he's never felt more alive. Despite having a bad track record for psychotic girlfriends, he has never felt happier and right. They've been dating for 5 months now and everything has been going so smoothly. Honestly, he's been feeling like he's on cloud nine. He's never ever felt this raw and open with anyone before, so he asked her to move in with him.
At first, he was really nervous about asking her. It was a really big step, and asking her to move in will completely expose his every flaw. Will she still love him then? But it's been weeks since she's moved in and he felt like that was the best decision he's ever made.
Sure, he grew up being independent and taking care of himself. But having someone to depend on, and to be completely vulnerable made him feel so good. He's beyond smitten and all the boys tease him for that. But what do they know? Because being able to wake up in the morning and open his eyes to see a beautiful angel sleeping beside him was heaven.
The sun poured into the loft, lighting every corner of the place with its bright sunny rays. Derek and Spencer had their legs tangled with each other's and sleeping ever so soundly. That is until the alarm went off, waking Spencer up first. She groaned and blindly reached out to silence the alarm on her phone.
Her movements woke Derek up, which elicited a disgruntled groan from his throat. She rubbed her eyes awake, but they squint from the overwhelming brightness. Still half-asleep, she tried to wiggle out of Derek's arms but he groaned and pulled her back. His arms tighten around her, and he childishly wrapped his legs around her, trapping her from getting off the bed. "Derek!" She whined in a scratchy morning voice.
He groaned and buried his head in the nook of her neck, his beard lightly scratched against her warm and soft shoulder. "Derek, I have to get ready for work." She twisted around, trying her best to break free from his body trap. He groaned again, tightening his embrace. "Oh come on, Derek! I'm going to be late!" She scolded him and made another attempt to wriggle out.
He pressed kisses up along her neck, his lips brushing against her soft skin. "You shouldn't move so much, or I'll make you even later for work." He whispered in his groggy morning voice beside her ear. She shivered from the way his breath tickled her ear. He captured her earlobe between his lips and lightly tugged, sending sweet sensations throughout her body. She gasped and playfully smacked his wandering hands away. "Derek! You naughty wolf!" She giggled and pulled away. He chuckled and released her. She got up and off the bed, straightening her silky lace nightgown out and headed for the bathroom to get ready for work.
Derek whined and groaned, clearly dissatisfied that she was leaving. "Can't you call in sick today?" He shouted from the bed. She leaned against the door frame of the bathroom with a toothbrush foaming with suds in her mouth. "No." She said and continued to brush her teeth. He sighed and childishly pouted, a side he only shows to Spencer. "Why can't we stay in and do nothing?" He whined. She rinsed her mouth and laughed at how funny his whining sounded with his deep voice.
"Well, unlike you. I have to work for a living." She ran a brush through her hair and sauntered over to her suitcase to pick out a dress and blazer for work. Derek defeated sighed and thrashed around in bed. She chuckled and shook her head at his childish behavior. "Can I take you to work?" He sat up and ask after throwing a fit. "Sure babe, I would love that!" She changed out of her nightgown and into her dress and blazer.
So Derek threw on a t-shirt and jeans. After you were both ready, Derek drove you to work and parked right at the entrance. "I'll be here to pick you up when you're done. 6:30?" He asked, with smile that didn't reach his sad, adorable green eyes. "Yep, I'll text you if anything changes." She said and got out of the car. Derek frowned and hurried out of the car so he could catch her before she went in. "I think you're forgetting something." He said with his arms crossed over his chest. She furrowed her brows and checked her purse. "No… I have my wallet, keys and phone." She glanced up at him with confused eyes. "You're forgetting something." He nonchalantly pointed to his cheek. She playfully rolled her eyes. "Oh you're so cute." She leaned up to kiss his cheek, but he turned his head so her lips ended up kissing his lips. He beamed and victoriously smirked. "You're so sneaky!" She teasingly scowled and leaned up once again to properly kiss his lips. "I love you," She said after breaking the kiss. He bashfully chuckled with a big smile on his face. "I love you too, babe. Have a good day at work." He gave her a hug and sent her off to work.
