First off I wanna thank everyone who has read my stories. Especially Their Choices and this one. (I like them better than my first story.) Chapter six of Their Choices was added around midnight last night so if you haven't read it you should. Unless you don't like that story. If that's the case I guess that just sucks for me. Haha.

Oh and I have another idea for a story. But I won't be putting that up online until after I come home from the fair. Spending a week there is great. The one bad thing: no wireless internet connection! I just hope that all of you who like my stories like that story as much as the others.

Anyone wanna know what it's gonna be about? Hmm okay…it's set five years in the future and it will probably be rated M, for future chapters. No guarantees but I gots my ideas. I'm thinking of calling it Five Years of Waiting For Your Love or something like that. Haha anyways…

Chapter four. What's gonna happen with Derek?

I'm Only Me When I'm With You- Taylor Swift

And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you
I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well, you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying
To let you know that what I feel is true
And I'm only me when I'm with you

Trouble

Derek POV

"Derek, what were you doing in Chloe's room?" Andrew asked again. He didn't even give me time to answer after the first time he asked.

"Chloe had another nightmare…"

"Okay? It's great to be there for…comfort for that kind of this but that doesn't explain where your shirt went."

Yeah this just keeps getting better and better.

"Okay, well I can see I'm not going to get an answer right now. Why don't we talk about this after breakfast?" He turned to leave.

"Andrew nothing happened. She really had a nightmare, and that's it." And this is pointless. I'm not going to be able to convince him that what I'm saying is true. Well…there was the kiss but he's thinking of other things…

He still had his back to me. "That may be but, where did your shirt go?"

"She, uh" this is getting awkward "She has it."

He turned back around. "Derek." he sighed "We're not going to talk about this right now. It's one o'clock in the morning and I'm too tired to deal with this."

"Deal with what? Jeez Andrew what do you think we were doing?"

"I don't know Derek. When you see a-"

"God, would you two shut up!" Mandy said from behind Andrew.

"Mandy, this doesn't concern you. Go back to bed."

"Andrew just leave him alone. I can tell you don't actually want to be here talking to him."

Oh, that's great. I knew Andrew thought of me differently because I'm a werewolf. It's always been obvious but come on, I'm not going to go crazy and hurt someone.

"Derek, go back to bed, before you get anymore irritated." Mandy said.

"How do-"

"Doesn't matter. Now go. I'll talk to Andrew now and get this worked out." She walked closer to me and whispered so Andrew couldn't hear. "And I'll talk to you and Chloe in the morning. I'll probably be more understanding than him."

I nodded and headed back to my room. But I still heard Andrew and Mandy talking in the hall.

"Andrew I can feel the fear coming off of you. Why does he scare you so much?"

"Why? He's a werewolf Mandy. Do you have any idea how dangerous he could be?"

"Could be. But he isn't."

"How do you know? How could any of us know?"

"Did you forget that I'll be able to tell if he gets too angry and starts having thoughts about hurting someone?"

"No but-"

"Andrew stop that. He isn't going to hurt anyone."

"How could you be sure?"

"You are hopeless."

"But you don't know."

"Andrew how long have you known him? You should know he won't hurt anyone on purpose. The only people he will hurt are the ones that actually need to be hurt. The Edison Group. Especially if they try to do anything to Simon or Chloe."

"But-"

"We aren't talking about this anymore Andrew. You lost, get over it. And you aren't going to talk to Derek and Chloe later. I will."

"But-"

"No." Mandy said before closing the door to her room.

I heard Andrew sigh and then he went back to bed too.

Wow, I can feel the love in this freaking place. I rolled onto my right side and closed my eyes so I could at least get some sleep tonight.

The only problem was their conversation kept replaying in my head. Dangerous is a word I've heard too many times in my life, and I hate it. But maybe everyone is right. Maybe I am too dangerous to be with people. If I get too angry, I lose control. Chloe stopped me from hurting that girl in the alley but who's to say that I won't lose control again in a situation like that. Or worse, who could say I won't accidentally hurt Simon or…Chloe.

I couldn't live with myself if I hurt her.

But how do I stay away from her knowing that she loves me. That's something I don't think the wolf will let me do. Keeping that part of myself away from its mate probably isn't going to happen. Which means I have to be very careful with myself around her.

My thoughts swirled around in my head. But they always ended up back at Chloe. Some were bad thoughts, bad on my part. But most were good. How she comes to me to comfort her when Simon is so much better at it. How she looked when she told me she loved me. Her touch. The kiss. How soft she is. Eventually I was able to sleep.

Chloe POV

I woke up at six thirty. I felt so much more rested than I had in…well since I started having nightmares. I remembered Derek being in here last night to comfort me. And I remembered the nightmare that made him come running to me. But I remember my dream after that more. I wasn't running, or scared. No one was dieing. There was no sign of the Edison Group at all. Just me and Derek.

I glanced down and noticed I was clutching Derek's shirt. When did I get this? I don't remember him taking it off before he laid down next to me.

Okay, so I don't know how I got it…but I'm not giving it back. I giggled a little and got up to take a shower.

When I was walking to the bathroom I ran into Mandy.

"Chloe, I would like to talk to you and Derek after you guys have taken a shower and gotten ready."

"Okay. Umm about what?"

"Last night."

"Oh. Okay?"

"I know that doesn't really say what I want to talk about but just go take your shower and get Derek up to take his. Then come downstairs to the living room and we can talk. Okay?"

"Sure." But what's there to talk about?

I showered, dressed and then went to wake up Derek. But he was already awake. When I opened the door to his room he was laying in his bed staring at the ceiling.

"Derek? You okay?"

"Yeah." He turned his head to look at me.

I smiled then glanced up at the ceiling. "So what was so interesting about the ceiling?"

"Nothing. I was just thinking."

"About what?" I sat next to him on the bed.

He sat up, resting on his elbows. "A lot of things."

"Oh." I wanted to ask what kind of things, but I remembered Mandy wanting to talk to us so I figured we should probably get ready.

"Chloe, do I get my shirt back?"

I giggled and blushed. "No, I want to keep it."

One corner of his mouth turned up in a small smile. "Okay."

"Thanks. Mandy wants to-"

"Talk to us? I know"

"Then get up." I laughed. "Go get your shower then we can go talk to her."

He pulled me down to him. "I'd rather stay here."

Something about the way he said that told me he knew about what we were going to be discussing. "Derek, do you know what she wants to talk to us about?" I asked while moving my legs up to the bed and lying on my stomach.

"I think so." He turned on his left side to face me.

"So what is it?"

"I think it's about me being in your room last night."

"That's it! That's stupid."

"Yeah well tell Andrew that."

"I had a nightmare and you were there to help me. That's all." Well maybe not all. We did kiss, but they don't need to know that.

"Yeah, that's what I said."

"One thing though, how did I get your shirt?"

He chuckled. "You apparently didn't want me to go after you went to sleep and you grabbed my shirt when I tried to leave. So I just gave it to you. I figured that was better than getting caught being in your room. Which happened anyway but…"

"Okay." I laughed. "Go get your shower and we can go work this out with Mandy."

He nodded and got up, leaving me with my thoughts.

Do they really think we were doing something inappropriate? Jeez, I'd never even kissed anyone until last night. What is wrong with these people?

But kissing Derek was…amazing. Better than I could have imagined. It was like electricity in my veins and it was a feeling I couldn't wait to experience again. One little gesture set me on fire and in that moment I knew we were meant for each other. There's no way there could be such a connection for no reason.

So I think that was a good place to stop for now. I need more time to think of how I want the conversation with Mandy to play out. I didn't want to put that in this chapter because you guys wouldn't be able to read anything new for this for another week and a half if that was the case. So for the sake of being able to update one last time before I disappear to play bunny games for a week at the fair, I wrote this part.

But while I'm at the fair I'll have plenty of time to think of what I want to say so you guys get your conversation with Mandy next Saturday night. Late Saturday night…

Anyway. Thanks for reading. I like reviews. *hint hint*
