"Derek what are you doing its like three in the morning." I mumbled still half asleep.
"I'm working I got an idea for how I'm going to do the blocking for Tom's new song." He was way to awake and alert for my liking.
"Oh." I replied mid yawn.
"Sorry for waking you love I'm not used to being quiet." He did sound sorry
"That's okay but if you don't mind can I shut the door." I just wanted to get back to bed.
"Yes of course darling." He answered.
"Alright I'm going back to bed then see you in a couple of hours and try and get some sleep." I told him before wandering back down the hall to my bedroom. I was back asleep the minute my head hit the pillow.
Luckily I still woke up easy when my alarm went off at seven. I made my way straight into the shower so by the time I emerged downstairs half an hour later. I was fully dressed and heading towards the kitchen.
Derek normally had already made some coffee but when I got to the kitchen the pot was empty. I figured Derek had just slept in after his late night. I opened the cupboard figuring I would just have to make it myself this morning.
That was my thought until I couldn't find any coffee which was weird seeing as I know the the container was half full yesterday.
I set off to find Derek I tried his bedroom first but that was a miss so I then made my way to his office. Where I found him hunched over paper covered in scribbles with an empty coffee mug in front of him.
"So I guess I know why we have no coffee left." I told him making my way into the room.
"Did I wake you again darling?" He asked.
"No Derek its just after 7:30 You worked all night we have rehearsal soon. You need to go get ready I'll run down to the cafe on the corner and grab both of us some coffee." I told him.
"Thank you."
Derek and I where managing to live together quite easily so far It was funny for me to see how into and wrapped up Derek could get into his work. We took turns cooking dinner though I seemed to have puled he grocery shopping straw. Which wasn't that big of a problem I was glad to help. Derek's main request was that I leave a copy of my work schedule so that he knew when I was going to be out.
I hadn't expected for him to get me to help. But apparently it's easier to block and choreograph with a partner. It did mean that I was not being as exhausted in rehearsals because I already knew what was happening.
Not that I let it show Tweedledee and Tweedledum where still trying to figure out who Derek's new girl was. Luckily they didn't know where Derek lived or it would be all over.
"Karen have you noticed that Derek is still weirdly happy?" Bobby asked while we where stretching.
"I guess." I responded.
"She must be really good its a pity we haven't been able to work out who she is yet." Jess continued.
"Oh so no idea who she is yet." I knew the minute they figured it out they would be hounding me.
"No It sucks he isn't taking her to any of the usual places." Bobby complained.
"Yeah which makes us think she is really special." Jess complained as well.
There was a week left until Derek's family where due to arrive in New York for his birthday and I would be doing more than just meting them. Due to the fact that I was staying at Derek's and they would be staying at Derek's I was going to get to really no them.
" So I saw Tweedledee and Tweedledum where harassing you during stretching." Derek asked over dinner that night.
"Oh yes they are still wondering who your girl is they think she must be real special." I answered.
"You are pretty special by the way my Mom called I have a massive favour to ask?" He had gotten really sweat all of a sudden.
"Oh what's the favour." He was letting me live her rent free I would do almost any favour.
"Well I'm going to be in a meting with Eileen Tom and Julia for the afternoon they are due to arrive. They will be fine getting here from the airport but I was wondering if you could meet them here. I know its a lot to ask seeing out don't know them but it would be a big help darling." Derek explained.
"Of course I can help Derek it will give me a chance to get the embarrassing stories off of them without the chance of you stopping them." I teased
