True Intentions
Chapter 4
Last Chapter:
"I knew exactly what you were thinking. If anything, try the subtle approach. Make him jealous by…"unintentionally" making him jealous."
XOXO
"Derek…"
"Even though, I really don't want to be a part of this, I feel sort of…bad about it, so this is the only time, I'm actually offering my help." he said. "Got that? This is also your birthday present."
"Derek, my birthday was months ago." Derek shrugged. "Anyway…make him jealous?" she asked sitting down on a cushion also.
"Here's what you do. Find a dude, who doesn't really matter but has the ability to make Max test himself. Someone, Max had always seen you with."
"But…that would mean, using someone else…"
"Then just find someone who can also be in on it. Then I can coach them, since I'm a total badass…with charm…" he said in one of his dramatic moments. "How about, Sam?"
"Too, awkward."
"How?"
"We used to date and we're still getting used to just being friends, Derek. You know that."
"Fine…Ralph?"
Casey laughed.
"Haha, no. Definitely not."
"Your weird friend Noel."
"Noel isn't weird."
"He writes poetry, he acts for fun, and he li-"
"He is nice and the stuff is only weird, to you."
"Either way."
" I would feel bad."
"Casey…" Derek sighed. "Do you want Max to regret breaking up with you or not?"
"Why do you even care? What do you get in all of this anyway?" she asked suspiciously.
" Casey…Casey…Casey. I'm in this…just to help you." he said sitting up, giving an innocent look.
"Oh…oh, really?" she asked disbelieving as she laughed mildly. "Is that the charm that had me believing, that what you just said is true?" she asked.
"Casey, don't worry about my part in all of this." he said. "You get Noel's number, call him, and ask him. I'll take care of the rest." he said.
XOXO
"Hey, Noel!" greeted Casey to Noel at Smelly Nelly's., later that day. It was sort of hard for her to be there, since that's where Max and Casey had first gotten together, but she knew soon, their relationship would be back to normal…
"Hey, Casey. Haven't see you in awhile." said Noel who stood up to greet her back. "I was surprised that you called my, actually."
"Yeah, listen, I have a predicament and I would love and I mean love, if you could consider helping…"
XOXO
"Derek! Derek!" Casey yelled as she got in the house later that day.
"What could you possibly want now?" he asked coming down the stairs.
"Noel said he would help. So what happens now?"
"What happens now, is me leaving. Pizza at Sam's." he said pointing to the door before walking out it.
XOXO
"Hey, man." said Sam who greeted Derek at his own house. "What's up?"
Derek couldn't get the smirk off his face.
"Dude, don't leave me out of the loop." said Sam who was suspicious.
"Dude, Casey is going to be eating out of the palm of my hand any second."
Sam gave him a strange look and Derek smirked.
"Remember how Max promised me?" asked Derek sitting down on the couch as he grabbed a game controller.
"Yeah."
"Well, when him and Casey broke up, everything changed."
"Awe, no!!" Sam said terribly bummed. "He is a total liar!"
"Don't worry. Things will be back on track in a couple days. I refuse for a chance of a lifetime to pass me up."
XOXO
"Derek, is going to help you?" asked Emily as her and Casey were painting their nails in Casey's room.
"Yeah, I think he wants something from me."
"Probably, I mean it is Derek after all. If he isn't out to get you, he's out to get something else." said Emily. "But I still love him and I'm going to marry him one day." she said.
"I thought you liked Ralph." said Casey laughing.
"Well, I'm going to marry him too." Both Casey and Emily laughed at that.
But no matter what, Casey just couldn't shake the feeling of Derek's true intentions…
A/N-Hey! Sorry, if some chaps end a bit short, that's only because I'm trying to leave you with a cliffhanger. I feel really bad that this chapter is sooo short. Forgive me? Lol. Anyway, review time. So what do you think Sam and Derek have to do with Max and Casey's Separation? Review if you really want to know.
