Hey everyone! Sorry it took so long for the update! But I hope this chapter is not disappointing! Please review and subscribe if you want! It makes me smile though real hard! Haha I love Dasey!! More to come! Casey typed this still smiling and holding her chest.
Oh I am fine, now, and yourself? Derek laid back across his bed, baffled with how he was acting.
I am feeling better, I have been sick though you know.
Oh really? I am so sorry, I hope you are being taken care of…
Well I think things are starting to be better, I have a sudden urge to eat though.
I actually made some dinner, how about we meet in the kitchen in 10? It should be done by then.
This sounds like a good plan…is it..a special event?..one where someone would dress up for?
How about we make it 20 minutes.
25?
Okay then 30 ;), pick you up at the bottom of the stairs then?
:) sounds perfect. See you then?
One question first?
yes? Casey could not help but feel butterflies in her stomach.
Can I call you? After dinner I mean, so like don't make any other plans.
Well that doesn't really seem like a question but okay..yes.
See you in 30.Derek was freaking out, but in the way only he knew how. So he was just smiling and felt loose and tense at the same time, he Is thinking that maybe he could actually be with her. Maybe. In the next 5 minutes he was down the stairs. Checking on the food. It was lasagna, all he had to do was stick it in the oven so all is well. He wanted this to be different though, he set the table in the dining/living room. Just for two and him at the head of the table and her right next to him. So they could be near and far at the same time.
Btw I do not own anything!!! lol
XXXXXX
How are you then? Derek.
"Candles? Where the fuck are some candles!"
Derek whispered this harshly, he wanted this to be nice, enough messing around, he is 18 in his last school year and Casey loves romantic things, so for once he will forget his arrogance and try and make this perfect. Going through another drawer he finally found some and candle holders, he finished setting the table. Checked on the oven. Then ran back up the stairs to his room to get ready.
While that was going on Casey had rushed into the shower,she suddenly felt so much better and excited. This was going to be a date with Derek, was it pretend? Or was it real though. She could not help but think that to herself as she was washing her hair, the warm water releasing the tension in her muscles. After 10 minutes she got out the shower and rushed back to her room as she heard Derek storming up the stairs.
After closing the door she heard Derek close the door of the bathroom. So he was bathing too? She thought. Yes this is going to be official! It has to be. She rushed to her closet wondering what to wear. Something laid back but sophisticated. Something sexy. Casey pulled out a purple knit dress. It is cozy and the waste has the knitted waves so it matches her curves perfect. The dress stopped right above her knees. It was quaint but on her, being a v neck as well her collar bones visible she looked good. Drying her hair she let the natural curls just lay and did only light makeup, she was Casey and she barely needed it, her blue eyes were all ready popping she looked amazing. Feeling her neck bare she grabbed a silver chain that had a diamond pendant come down the end resting between her chest. Yes staring at herself in the mirror she looked amazing.
Through out Casey getting ready Derek had been too, he only took 5 minutes in the shower and was out in his room. He was going to be casual something nice but comfy. He pulled out some faded dark jeans and button up flannel shirt. It hugged him right and the fabric was not like normal flannel, it was light, the shades were of blues and after pulling his sleeves up, his hair naturally muffled he stared at himself thinking yeah D, you look good.
Checking the clock Derek had ran downstairs and pulled the food out the oven and set the plates, there were only 3 minutes left till Casey was going to meet him. Excited he pulled himself together and stayed at the bottom of the stairs.
Casey walked out her bedroom smiling large, but flustered she tried and gathered herself to a calm face and started walking down the stairs. She saw Derek at the bottom. He smiled, a real smile. He looks so cute and actually presentable she thought to herself and after seeing him smile larger his eyes warm, she could not help but blush.
She looked perfect Derek thought to himself she did not even have to try. He smiled more when she was reaching the bottom, seeing her blush sent chills down his spine. He wanted this. He could not let anything get in the way, especially his doubt.
"Hey" She smiles warmly "you look nice Derek" her head coyly lowered.
"Hey" Derek says softly, feeling like a little kid. Happy. "you look…beautiful." His head shot down
as Casey's head shot up blushing she could not believe…that he…just…said that.
Derek looked up and smirked. "don't let it get to your head princess"
With that Casey had to say something as he dragged her to table and when she was about to open her mouth with some wit, then she saw the table.
"Der-ek…" She turned to him and smirked..his smirk.. She had parted his name, the way he loves, but said hushed, he could not help but...melt? oh what a sap he though.
"trying to impress?" She said catching herself
Derek stood up straight and pulled out her chair "Succeeding." He said and they sat.
At first it was weird. But not the awkward weird, it was weird because everything felt to right and smooth. They were together..in some way that they did not even know yet..but it was okay…and sitting in their parents home..the wrong did not outshine the right. They just talked. Like it was the first date of best friends. The conversation dragged on in a good way. Derek was breaking out of the shyness of not being able to talk to her just from a few short texts. It felt so good.
Casey was thinking basically the same thing. She did not believe that her and Derek could sit down to eat and not fight the whole time. Yes what they were discussing at some points would get the feuding but that was what they did. They can't agree on everything. They both knew that. They both cherished it.
It was already 11:00 becoming close to each other what was going on? Derek stopped laughing for a second after talking about what their parents would say to them getting along. He looked at Casey.
He could not say what he wanted to say. He wanted to ask what they were doing, that this friendship was it going to be more, they just started acting friendly, what else could happen. He could not ask this though…but he could if they were talking on the phone. Derek had no idea that Casey was frantic in her head wondering what was going to happen with them, if they will forget the bullshit and be together.
"How about we clean all this up?" Derek said.
"we?" Casey said shocked
"Yeah, you clean and I watch" Derek smirked and blew out the candles.
Casey huffed and before she could said something..
"and anyways, I have a phone call to make soon, " He said this part following her in the kitchen, Casey was shocked once again seeing how the kitchen was not a mess, Derek had cleaned before hand, all that was left was from what they ate off.
"Yeah princess, I think you can handle this little bit…" With that he was up the stairs.
Casey was left in her thoughts, wondering why she is having trouble saying what is on her mind. She also noticed how her heart has been beating so much faster talking with Derek the past hours. Then placed the last dish in the washer.
Casey steadily rose the stairs and found Derek in her room when she opened her door.
"Derek what are you doing?" She said pushing him off her bed.
"I was just making sure you had your phone on." He said this messing with her cell phone placing it with the charger. Then smirking lifting up and all of sudden being very close to Casey.
"Well okay then talk to you later Case." He said this quietly and slowly as he brushed past Casey wanting to be close to her for longer.
Casey hearing Derek call her Case felt something special.
" Hey Dare? Make sure yours is on too." Casey smiled sweetly as Dereks face went hot and he closed her door.
"I won't ruin this…" He said closing his door. Then looked back like he could see through the wall.
Casey was doing the same, with a burning sensation and chills. She needed him, and not just for a day.
Then her phone started to ring and she answered it shyly.
"Hello?"
"you know, I was thinking, every princess needs a prince…"
XXXXX
