He was left astounded and bewildered. He could not find the words to describe his joy, his shyness. How could the great director feel this way? Why was he astounded by everything she did, everything she said? Derek felt like he was hurting Karen by not being able to say that he…that he loved her... But how could he? She already has an overload of emotion, anything more and she will break. Derek needed to go slow with Karen because he was sure he could not win her over with his womanizing ways, and he didn't want to win her over. He wanted her love. For her love he would do anything. For those doe eyes to stop crying and a smile back on her face, comfort was not enough.
Embarrassment of what she had done was then followed by an awkward silence. Karen and Derek had shared many moments like this before, but this time was different, at least for her it was. How she wanted to feel Derek's warmth against her skin, even his rude British/director's voice was starting to sound great to her.
What was she thinking? How adorable and innocent she looked while playing with her fingers and smiling, a genuine smile. This was a side of her Derek had never seen before. She was comfortable around him, not her usual timid self. Karen had made the first move and he could not deal with her feeling ashamed of what she did. Derek drew closer to her and put his hand on her face so that they could talk and she could see how he truly felt.
With their faces merely centimeters apart, Derek could not control the urge to fill and erase that space in between them. Karen is biting her lower lip trying to stop the goose bumps she gets when Derek comes too close. She hates the fact that she feels so helpless around him and how her heart skips a beat when he calls her name. Derek gently rubs her cheek with his hand and Karen stares up into his eyes. They both feel the space in between them getting smaller and the sound of slow breathing is all that can be heard.
Derek moves in and gives Karen a soft long kiss. Leaning in slightly, Karen demands more, as Derek's arms wraps around her waist and her hands lie dangling around his neck. What a cliché romantic moment, but it is short lived as a knock on the door startles both of them.
