"So, what about that girl?" Sarah asked curiously when Derek paid them a visit several months later.
"Who are you talking about?"
"The one you called "Baby Girl"…
"What do you want to know?" He asked raising his eyebrows.
"Who she is… what she looks like… stuff like that."
"And why are you so interested in her?"
"I don't know… it's such a rare thing that you talk about some girl and I want to know her."
"Why? We have and will have no relationship. She's just a member of my team…"
"Oh was she new?"
"I guess so, she's a technical analyst."
"What's her name?"
"Sarah stop this interrogatory immediately." Fran said with a cold voice sensing that Derek was a little upset.
"Thanks mom." He said before leaving the room.
Fran shot a cold look to Sarah.
"What?"
"You know that Derek is very secretive about his life, you shouldn't ask him so many questions."
"But Mom, you're as curious as me…"
"Maybe, but I know when to leave some space to him. If he said there's nothing to tell about this girl… let him be."
"Sorry." Sarah said with a little voice.
"That's ok honey. Just stop teasing him the next time."
She left Sarah in the living room and joined Derek in his old room.
He was deep in thought.
"You're ok baby?"
"Yes mum. I'm just tired, the last cases were tough."
"I'm glad you come here honey."
"Yeah, I'm happy too. I wish I had more time to spend with you and the girls."
"Even with Sarah?" she asked with a smile.
"Well she could be an annoying older sister but I still love her."
"She didn't mean to upset you, she was just curious… because…"
"I know, because I never speak about the girls in my life. But it's different; she's only a girl I work with. There's nothing there believe me."
Fran stared at her son intently, sensing that there was so much more than what he wanted to admit.
A/N: Well here it is. Let me know what you think about it!
