(A/N:) Sorry for the late update. I've kinda been caught up with school, work , and just kickin it with some people. But here's the next chapter. It's nothing really. Oh, and I'm just going to be hinting Dasey. It's not really going to happen until towards the end of the story and I don't know when that'll be. Just letting you guys know. Sorry if you're upset by that, but that's probably how it's going to happen. Anyways, here it is.
"It's Max. From Derek's party. I went into your room thinking it was the bathroom. Remember me?"
"Oh, yeah! Hey Max! I was wondering when I'd see you again." Casey said ecstatically.
Ew. I think I just puked in my mouth a little. The guy is such a fruit, I can't even look at him anymore. Casey has no idea what she's getting herself into...so, before she can get into it any further... "Hey McDonald! You do know that your skirt is tucked in your underwear, right?" I yelled out at her knowing she'd be fuming at me any second.
"Der-rek!" she screeched as her face was reddening by the second. She checked her skirt and it was perfectly fine except for some wrinkles from the flight. "Sorry Max, for my stupidass step brother."
"Haha no worries, I know how Derek can get, trust me. I guess you have business to take care of...so I hope I run into you later? "
"I hope." she said dreamily. Then she turned to me and I knew it was coming. "Derek, why can't you just let me live my life? Huh? Why do you always have to ruin everything for me? It's my first time actually liking someone else ever since...you know who," she said pointedly as her eyes were burning through me.
"Sorry Case, I'm just trying to protect you," I said as I grabbed Marti's and my luggage and walked towards our parents.
"Protect me? You're trying to protect me? From what? The guy's not a serial killer!" she said while she was right on my heels.
I turned around and she bumped into me, but she didn't move. "Casey, please just listen to me. This guy is no good. Just trust me on this one," I said staring intently into her large blue orbs.
"Oh right. And I should trust you because you know everything and everyone, right? Because you haven't tried to ruin every single one of my dates or relationships. Alright Derek, I totally trust you," she spat back.
Our bodies were so close and her scent was so mesmerizing, that I couldn't look into her beautiful eyes for another second or else I would've done something that would have caused a handful of problems. "Forget it, Case." then I turned around and walked away.
"Alright kids, we're all set to go, but you guys will have to figure out how the rooming will work. We got a grand suite, a regular suite, and a regular room overlooking the ocean, but only has one queen size bed. Now Nora and I are taking the grand suite because well, we paid for it. So tell us how you guys want to room." my dad told us.
"Well you see Father, I would like to stay in the suite because I think I deserve it," Edwin said.
"Yeah...uh... me too," Lizzie said then looked over at Edwin who gave her a sly smile.
"Dad, I just want the room with the ocean view," I stated. Then I started the counting the seconds to see how long it will take 'till Casey had something to say about this. One...Two...Thr--
"Derek, you only want it so you can spy on all the girls in their bikinis!" Wow. That wasn't even three seconds. That's a record. "Um, duh," I said as if there were any other reasons.
"Ugh, you're such a pig. Well, I want that room because I think it'll be really calm and relaxing to fall asleep listening to the waves crashing amongst themselves," she said just picturing it in her head.
"BOOORINNNGG," I said dramatically and slumped my shoulders to add more effect. "I think my reason is more equitable."
"Pff. As if you know what equitable means!" she doubted and crossed her arms to look more defiant.
"Casey! Derek! Can we go one conversation without you two biting each others head's off? Now, since you both want the room, you guys can share it since there's a queen size bed in there anyways. And Lizzie, Edwin, and Marti can stay in the suite," Nora said.
"But me and Daphne want to stay with Smerek!" Marti yelled out at Nora.
"But Sweety, there's not enough room for Daphne and you both to stay with Derek, so you two can stay with Lizzie and Edwin in a big suite where you guys can play and run around and do all that fun stuff." Nora persuaded and succeeded at that.
"Yay! So we could play cat, and Lizzie can be the dog and Edwin can be the mouse and I'll be the cat!"
"Alright, seems to me like we're all ready. Let's go family!" my dad cheered .
We got a cab and took it to the resort. To be honest, it was a pretty sick resort. We're staying at the Hyatt Resort & Spa. There was a bridge that lead from the resort right to the beach, it was pretty fucking insane. For sure, there was nothing like that in Ontario. (A/N: Sorry if there is something like that in Ontario, I just thought it fit, so I wrote it.)
"Okay, Casey and Derek, here are your keys. You two are down the hall from us. Lizzie and Edwin, here are your keys. You guys are next door. Marti won't stay with you guys the whole time, I'm sure she'll want to switch around. But we'll keep her luggage in our room so it's easier. Alright, now George and I are gonna go and get a drink and Marti will come with. I want all of you guys to start unpacking. Keep your phones on!"
Casey and I walked down the lobby and down the very long hallway to our room silently. It was really quiet and was getting kinda awkward, so I pulled out my Ipod. As I was about to stick the headphones in my ears, Casey spoke. "Derek, why?"
"Um, because it's too quiet, so I'm going to listen to some music?" I answered unsure of why she asked that.
"No. Why do you do half the stuff you do? At times you're so aggravating, yet other times you can be really sweet. Like that time you got me a phone, or that time when you called my dad. That really meant a lot to me."
"Cuz I'm perfect. What can I say?" I said cockily as I smirked.
I saw a small smile appear on her face and a little giggle. "Derek!" She gave me a small push. "I'm serious."
I sighed. "I don't know, Case. It's just that I love messing around with you. I don't really mean to say the stuff I say. It just flows out of my mouth. I'm sorry."
She turned to me and looked into my eyes. "It's alright. And I'm sorry for always screaming and I guess nagging for every little thing. I just like things to be perfect even though there's no such thing."
"It's okay. Just know that I'll always be here for you no matter what."
"Ditto. Now let's go check out our room."
When we walked into our room, it was really homey. It wasn't as small as I thought it would be. The bed was pretty big and the bathroom was even bigger. We dropped our luggages and went over to the balcony. The balcony was probably the best part of the room. It was such a beautiful sight. And I, Derek Venturi, don't really use the word beautiful that often. I guess I'll come clean. I didn't really choose this room to "spy on chicks in bikinis..." kind of. I chose it because I knew that Casey would choose it, knowing her. And I really did not want to be stuck with Edwin either. I mean look at it this way: annoying little brother? Or hot step-sister? I think we all know the answer.
"Alright, I'm off to the beach. I'm in a major need of a tan. I'll unpack when I get back. I have my phone on me if you guys need anything. Bye." Casey said as she came out of the bathroom, in just her bikini top and a jean skirt. Oh man, do I need a cold shower right now. She grabbed her towel and purse and walked out. I can't believe I just let her walk out of here like that. I guess she can, since I don't own her or anything.
I decided to unpack my stuff, so that afterward I could just relax for a bit. After I was done, I had my boardshorts on and grabbed a soda from the mini fridge, so I could sit on the balcony and bathe in the sun. I looked over at the beach to see that it wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be. Then I spotted someone very familiar putting her towel down on the sand. I couldn't see clearly who it was, but I had a solution to that problem. I left my room and jogged to Lizzie and Edwin's suite. I banged on their door a few times. No one answered, so I banged a little harder and louder.
"What up big bro?" Edwin finally answered.
"Ed, get me your binoculars right now," I ordered.
"Already checking out the babes? Man, you're impatient."
"Edwin. Now."
"Alright, alright," he said as he rolled his eyes.
He came back with the binoculars in a couple minutes, "Derek, take care of it. Please don't drop it."
"Don't worry, I'm not Klutzilla," I replied, then jogged back to my room. When I got there, I went over to the balcony and searched for the girl again. She wasn't where she was before and it got a little more crowded, so it was harder to find her. Then I spotted her over by the edge of the water with another guy. I used the binoculars and saw that it was Casey with Max AGAIN! I saw Max pick her up and spin her around pretending to throw her in the water. He then put her down and she started splashing water at him. Oh man, this was not happening. She's gonna fall for him and then have her heart broken. I'm not going to let that happen to my, I mean Casey. I put the binoculars down and grabbed my towel. I'm going to the beach.
