Chapter Seven

"Lets get out of here and I will show you how awesome the city is." Derek said

"Sounds good to me."

With that they left the apartment and the elephant in the room. Where exactly would Alyssa sleep.

Derek took Alyssa out around the city so she could see the city she was going to be living in, the city he loved. Alyssa loved everything about New York City so far especially her new friend. Well she assumed Derek was a friend. What do you call a guy who you have amazing sex with and now living with? She was unsure but she would go with friend for now.

Derek enjoyed every moment about today. Alyssa was amazing. The best part was she made him feel like he was just him. She did not care that he was some rock star however she had been great about the fans stopping him to get a picture or autograph. That made him like her even more.

They were currently at dinner. New York style pizza.

"So what does your parents think about your move?"

"Well, they are not for it. My mom wanted me to stay in Missouri at the hotel I was working at and start working on my MBA. My mom just doesn't like the uncertainty of what I am doing. My dad agrees with whatever she says and thinks. What about your parents? Are they supportive?"

Derek was not sure what to say. Sure he asked her about her parents but didn't consider she would asked him about his. "Well, I do not talk to my parents. We never really got along."

Sensing something was up Alyssa reached out and put her hand over his. "You don't have to tell me."

"I want to. I struggled with depression but my parents did not want to deal with it. They chose to make me go to doctors and take medicine that did not make me feel like myself." Derek said all the while Alyssa was holding his hand and looking at him listening to everything he had to say as he continued. Derek never felt like he could talk about it before.

After he was done they just sat there looking at each other when Alyssa chose to speak

"My mom is the type once she gets an idea in her head there is no changing from it. I told her once 'I think it would be cool to own an inn some day' and she took it as I am going to be a big hotel tycoon. I majored in business because she pressured me even though I wanted to major in English lit and photography with a minor in writing. So its safe to say she in non too happy about my career change. She has never read anything I have written or ever will."

Derek did not need to respond to her comment he knew it was her way of giving back to him.

They had just gotten back to his place after dinner. They both were very tired however there was an elephant in the room. Both wanted to address it but neither wanted to be the first one to say anything.

Alyssa who was so sure of herself the night before finally looked over to Derek and said, "So, Patrick was right this morning about one thing. You really do not understand the concept of one night stand. Sure I have never had one before last night but I can tell you this (she motioned between them) is not typical." She smirked at Derek.

"Yes I know what a one night stand is. And true, it is not typical but are you complaining?"

"No." Alyssa said.

"Good. Because neither am I. So on that note, Wanna see one of Patrick's movies that makes me laugh every time I see it?"

"Yes!" With that Derek put in Demon Hunter.

They both were cuddling and laughing threw the whole movie.

At the end of the movie Derek looked over at Alyssa and said, "You can not tell him I let you see this."

"Oh thats no fun."

"Promise."

"Fine... Can I at least hint around that I know about it please." She asked with her puppy dog face.

At that moment Derek realized something he was not ready to admit. He just looked at her and said, "Of course."

That was the moment they realized it was late and they should be figuring out this sleeping arrangement.

Derek breathed as he looked at Alyssa. "Ok, I am just going to say it, I want you to sleep in my bed with me. I want to have sex with you and I just want to sleep but I don't want you feel like I expect that. When I asked you to stay I meant it and didn't assume you would sleep with me again. So if you want your own room I have a guest room ready for you." Derek felt like he couldn't breathe it had to be because he said all that in one breathe and before he let her respond he got up and went to his room.

Once he got to his room he couldn't believe he left her. She was of course going to go to the guest room now. He made himself slow down and wait in his room for her. Finally after what felt like hours but was only probably a minute he gave up and started to take off his clothes to get into bed.

Alyssa was left on the couch alone after Derek's rant. All she could think about was that he wanted her still but he just wanted to sleep next to her as well. It made her feel good about herself no guy has ever wanted that from her before. She was also happy he didn't assume anything and is ok if she wanted the guest room. She was really starting to like Derek. Not Derek Lord but just Derek. With that she got up from the couch and made her way to the door.

Derek was in his boxers as he pulled down the comforter. He heard noise behind him but was to scared to move.

"I would like that too, to have sex or just sleep with you." A quiet voice said behind him. Derek turned around to face Alyssa.

She was standing right in front of him. He moved to cup her cheek and kissed her soundly on the lips. He planned on breaking the kiss and going to bed but Alyssa had other plans. She pulled down his boxers as she deepen the kiss. That is when he realized she was in a tank top and undies. She must have taken off her pants before coming in the room. His hands found her butt and squeezed it as she pushed him onto the bed. From the bed he watched her shimmy out of her undies and take off her tank top. She was sexy. She climbed on top of him. She positioned herself above him and slammed down taking him whole.

"Alyssa..." Derek moaned as she began to rock her tight body up and down his shaft. She leaned down and captured his lips as his hands found her hips.

"Alyssa..." Derek was close mainly because of the way Alyssa took control. It was hot... so hot.

Before they knew it they were both saying each others name and falling together.

"Alyssa"

"Derek"

Derek kissed Alyssa soundly on the lips as he pulled her to him. She put her head on his hard chest as his arms wrapped around her. Who knew what was in store for them but for know they both were going to enjoy whatever this was.
