A/N: Still don't own anything. Also if this is riddled with errors I'll fix it in the morning, I am very tired but I was on a roll and wanted to get this up before I went to bed.

CHAPTER 3

Lizzie is in the kitchen getting a glass of water when Derek and I walk in. "Hi, Lizzie." Derek says with a slight wave. Lizzie glares at him and puts her cup in the sink. "I'll be in my room," I suddenly feel bad. "Don't you want some ice cream?" I call out to her as she starts up the stairs. "No thank you." And then she's gone. I stand there for a minute feeling guilty.

"Trouble in paradise?" Derek says pointing at the ceiling. "No, she's just upset that you're here." "Ouch," he said holding his chest. I smile at him and take a step closer. "You didn't come over here to see her did you?" Derek's eyes brighten and he tucks a piece of hair behind my ear, he leans in really close, with our lips almost touching. "How about that ice cream?" he whispers. He lifts his head up and smiles at me. I feel my knees start to weaken. I lock my legs before he can notice. I put my hand on his chest. "No one like a tease Venturi," I say poking his chest. He stumbles back and for a second I think I might have poked him too hard. He must see the concern on my face; he rights himself and smiles at me. For a second all I can do is just stare at him. I mean seriously, this boy was gorgeous, and he knows it too. I have been staring at him for so long it's begun to feel uncomfortable but I just can't seem to look away. I see Derek take a deep breath and he starts to walk towards me; I nervously take a step back, but there is nowhere to go, I'm already in front of the counter. Derek stops in front of me and lifts both of his hands and puts them on either side of my face, he gives a sweet smile and slowly leans in and kisses me. No one has ever kissed me like this before. This is sweet, this is tender; the other boys I had kissed before always kissed too roughly, I just assumed that was the way that boys liked to kiss.

My mind is foggy and I suddenly realize that my hands have made their way to his hair. Derek wraps his arms around me but the kiss stays the same, light and gentle as it was at the start. Remembering that my sister is upstairs I pull away slightly, but I make sure to look him in the eye and smile as to not hurt his feelings. He looks back at me and winks. "Ice cream?" I ask. "Ice cream," he repeats with that smirk of his. I turn around and get the ice cream scooper out of the drawer and get two bowls and two spoons, I think that I should probably make a small bowl for Lizzie and get out an extra spoon and bowl and set them on the counter. I scoop up ours and scoop a little in the bowl for Lizzie. "I'll be right back." I say to Derek and walk up the stairs.

I reach Lizzies door and knock "Liz, I brought you some ice cream, open the door please." I hear her footsteps get closer to the door and she opens it. "Peace offering?" I say holding the bowl up and smiling. She rolls her eyes but can't stop the giggle that has already escaped her. I know she can't stay mad at me, especially if there is ice cream involved. She takes the bowl. "Want to tell me what's wrong? And I know you're not really upset that Derek is here." She looks at me and then quickly looks at the floor. "I'm not mad that he's here. I'm just mad that you have already made a friend and I don't know anyone yet." I rub her head. "You've got that soccer dance this weekend to go to, there will be tons of boys and I'm sure you'll make a few friends." She looks at me and smiles. "You think?" I smile, "Of course, who wouldn't love this face?" I say pinching her cheeks. She scrunches her nose up at me. "Are we good?" I ask. She nods. "Do you want to come down and watch a movie with us?" Lizzie looks at me strangely. "Are you sure?" I was hoping that she would say no so I could spend some more time with Derek, but I don't want her mad at me anymore. "Yes, you coming or not?" I say as I walk down stairs. "Just a minute," she says and closes her door.

I walk back into the kitchen but Derek isn't there, I turn the corner and see him looking at a stack of DVDs. "Hey," I said to get him to turn around, he looks at me and smiles "Hey," I walk over to him and stand very close to him. I reach out and touch his arm. "My sister is feeling a little down, I invited her to come down and watch a movie with us. You're not upset are you?" I see disappointment flicker in his eyes and then he looks as if he's gotten an idea. "Well that doesn't leave us much time now does it?" he says wriggling his eyebrows. This time it's me who makes a move. I grab him by the shoulders and kiss him with as much fire as I have, it's deep and intense. His hands reach up to my hair and he runs his fingers through it, I pull him closer and my mind just goes blank.

We are both startled by the sound of Lizzie clearing her throat. We quickly break apart looking a guilty. "When you asked if I wanted to watch a show this was not what I had in mind." Lizzie says laughing. I look over at Derek and he is laughing to himself. "I like you Lizzie, you got spunk kid." Lizzie blushes slightly and fidgets for a moment unsure what to do. "So, what movie do you want to watch?" He asks her. She smiles at this and walks over to the entertainment center. I look back at Derek and raise my eyebrow at him and sit on the couch and pat the empty spot next to me.

Lizzie has picked out an action movie, which I hate. We all settle on the couch and eat our ice cream, about thirty minutes into the movie Lizzie has fallen asleep. Derek taps my shoulder I look at him and he lifts up his arm that's closes to me and make a motion for me to get closer. I snuggle deep into his side and he wraps both of his arms around me. I know it must be getting late, my mom will probably be home soon. But I can't bring myself to tell Derek that he needs to leave. I look at the clock and see that it's almost eleven, the movie is just about over and Lizzie has been snoring for almost an hour. I reluctantly unwrap myself from his arms and I notice that he has dozed off too. He was adorable while he slept, he looked so peaceful and every few seconds he would smile. I leaned in and gently kissed his lips and his eyes slowly fluttered open, he looked embarrassed after he realized he was sleeping. "It's almost eleven, my mom should be home soon. You should probably go."

I stood up and gave him my hand, he took it and I helped him up. He wiped his eyes when we reached the door. He turned to me and then looked at the ground. "I uh, I had a nice time tonight." He said barely above a whisper. I put my finger under his chin and made him look at me. I gave him a light kiss. "Me too," He opened the door and started to walk outside he stopped and took something out of his pocket and came back to me. He picked up my hand and began to write his phone number on it. He smiled at me and said "See you around, Casey." I smiled at the memory of what I said to him as I left the diner. This boy was going to be the death of me.

I already have chapter 4 just about done, I should be able to add that tomorrow. Please pretty please review! :)
