Thanks for all the reviews, I really love reading them.

Last Chapter:

"Well what did you expect Casey? That guy was hitting on you! And nobody hits on Derek Venturis Girlfriend."

Chapter 2

"Oh, that's very nice of you." Casey said sarcastically rolling her eyes. "Very Caveman."

"I'm serious Casey." Derek said indignant. "I didn't like the way he was looking at you."

"And how was he looking at me then, since you know SO much?" Casey asked.

"He looked at you like…like he wanted to do something to you." Derek finished lamely.

"And what if he is? Guys are allowed to like me. I'm allowed to date guys you know. That's what we agreed upon remember? We date other people so we can keep up appearances. Because we didn't want anyone knowing about us. Remember?" Casey said angrily.

"I know!" Derek spat. "But..But..your mine."

"I'm yours? You do not own me, Derek Venturi! Nobody does."

"You know that's not what I meant!" Derek said exasperatedly. "I just meant that you're my girlfriend and I don't like other guys looking at you like that, the way I wish I could look at you in public." Derek said quietly looking at his feet.

Casey sighed.

"Derek. You know that I only want you looking at me that way too. Don't you."

Derek shrugged.

Casey stepped closer to him and lifted his chin up.

"Derek, I like you. Nobody else." She said looking into his eyes.

"Really?" He said smiling.

"Yes." She said stepping closer to him and pressing her lips to his.

Derek immediately responded. He put his arms around her waist and brought her closer to him.

They continued on like this for a couple more seconds before Casey gently pushed him away.



"Casey!" Derek complained trying to bring her back.

"We're in school Derek. Someone might see. You know the rules." Casey said firmly removing herself from him.

"Fine." He said sighing.

Ring!!

"We have to get to class." Casey said starting to walk away.

"Okay." Derek said grabbing her hand and giving it a squeeze. "But we are definitely finishing this later."

Casey just winked.

Later that afternoon at their house

Derek hurried into the house. He was looking for Casey to finish their…..er….discussion.

Derek burst into Casey's room.

"Casey.." Derek stopped when he saw who was there.

Casey, Emily and Connor were studying on the floor.

"Oh. Uh. Hi. I didn't realize you had company." Derek said giving Casey a look.

Casey smiled at him apologetically.

"Yeah, Emily and I were just helping Connor catch up."

"Oh." Derek said looking at her.

"Did you need something, Derek?" Emily asked.

"No."

"So do you usually just burst into Casey's room like this?" Emily asked joking.

Derek smirked looking at Casey. She blushed, remembering the numerous times Derek does burst into her room for… Well you can imagine what for.

"Would you like to join us?' Emily asked thinking Derek would decline.

"Sure." Derek said sitting in between Casey and Connor.

Connor looked Derek worriedly.

"So what were we talking about?" Derek said smirking



"Oh. We were just talking about Casey's nonexistent love life." Emily said.

"Really?" Derek said looking at Casey.

"Yeah.." Casey said looking embarrassed. "Um. Is anyone hungry? I'll go get some snacks." Casey said standing up.

"Oh. I'll help you!" Connor said speaking for the first time since Derek walked in.

"oh. Okay." Casey said

They walked down quietly and Connor stood there while Casey got out some chips and salsa.

"Casey?" Connor asked

"Yes?" She said looking up at him.

"Well, I heard there's a dance in two weeks, and since I'm new and I don't know many people, I was wondering if you would go with me. To the dance." He asked looking nervous.

"Well.." Casey said looking up.

"It would really mean a lot to me." Connor said.

Casey continued to look at the ceiling.

"Okay." She said looking at him.

"Great!." Connor said smiling.

They continued to look at each other.

"Well, we should probably head upstairs." Casey said grabbing the food and heading for the stairs.

When they walked into Casey's room, they found Emily talking excitingly about something and Derek looking bored.

"I got the food." Casey said.

"Finally!" Derek said. "Took you long enough."

"Derek." Casey said annoyed.

Bing

Connor took his phone out of his pocket and looked at it.

"I need to head home." He said looking at Casey.

"Okay." She said



"I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow." He said leaving.

"Well, I should probably leave too." Emily said getting up. "Casey, I'll call you later so we can talk about this new development." Emily said looking meaningfully at Casey.

"Okay." Casey said smiling at her. "I'll talk to you later."

Once Emily left Derek got up and closed Casey's door.

"Soo…" Derek said turning around and looking at her.

"Are you really to finish our talk?" Derek asked smirking at her.

"Derek. I need to talk you." Casey said looking seriously at him

"Can't we talk about it later?" Derek said moving closer to Casey and pulling her into his arms.

"No. Derek.." But Derek didn't listen; he was too busy kissing her.

"Derek!" Casey said pulling away.

"What?" Derek asked now annoyed.

"I agreed to go to the dance with Connor!" Casey said looking at her feet.

"You.did.what?" Derek asked.

Casey looked up at Derek and he looked pissed.
