CHAPTER THREE- IMPRESSIONS
CHLOE:
Tori told me I should wear something nice, to impress Derek with. When she started asking about what we'd been 'up to' I had to shush her and remind her of Derek's bionic hearing.
She chose me a black minidress and put red lipstick on me.
"Tori... Don't you think I look a bit... Cheap?"
"Shut up and try not to ruin my artwork."
I sighed. "Fine."
After I put it on, Tori smiled. "Wolfie is going to flip!"
"He better." I whispered when I heard laughter outside. Derek was listening. I walked over to the door, but didn't open it. "You can't see me yet."
He sighed. "Who says?"
"Tori."
"Oh," He said, "Enough said."
When we were done, Tori made me walk down the stairs while Derek waited at the bottom. It was that much of a special occasion, but I'd been done up in-between casual and sexy, Tori says.
Derek though, didn't see the casual. He swept me into his arms and kissed me there. His mouth was warm and slightly damp. He put one hand behind my back and I gasped into his mouth.
"Do I look good?" I asked, when I noticed what he was wearing, he wore black jeans and I white button up t-shirt with the first two buttons undone. I could have eaten him, if I were a cookie monster.
"Good is an understatement. Perhaps angelic is a better adjective." He whispered into ear and I shivered with pleasure.
"Ahem." We spun to see Aunt Lauren standing behind us. "Derek? Can I talk to you please?"
He gave me a look, like to ask what does she want?
But he just mumbled, "Sure," and followed Aunt Lauren about 10 feet away. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I wanted to barge over and interrupt. If she was telling him to stay away from me, I would SO talk to her about that.
As I watched, I saw a few of Derek's expressions: Indigence (the face you get when someone accuses you of something you didn't do), grievance then a small nod. He walked back towards me and whispered into me ear, "She was just making sure I wasn't going to hurt you or push you into something."
I smiled and he led me towards the car we hired, where Tori and Simon were, Kit in the front.
