Back to N.Y
Chapter 8
Last Chapter:
"Alright." said Emily knowing matter of factly that this Ryan/Derek thing was only just beginning.
XOXO
It had been a total of two weeks since Casey and Derek's first trip to New York, but today she was actually leaving to move there. Nothing interesting happened since though. Derek got over his crazy jealousy, and just the same old stuff was going on. Trevor and Emily were still dating and they were even going to the same college.
Casey only brought the few things that she needed to decorate her room, besides all of her clothes and necessities. Her mom along with everyone else was sad that Casey was leaving for school but she assured that she would come home for every holiday. Her departure with Derek was pretty hard though. She was crying at the airport and you know Derek, he didn't do tears.
What no one knew was when Casey boarded the plane and was out of view a silent tear feel from Derek's eyes. He of course brush them out of his way and tried to be all macho. He wondered how bad he would miss her until he got to see her at Thanksgiving.
Her plane ride was okay, and she arrived at her new home within the hour that she arrived. Her dad was working that day so she decided that she would surprise him at his office. He thought that she would just get settled at home and he would come and get her for lunch but instead she wanted to go and visit him and her new work ;and secretly see Ryan. He and Casey had talked a few times in the two weeks that she was back in Canada.
After she dumped her suitcase off at the house she walked out of it, down the porch steps and stopped at the curb, hoping for the first time in her life to catch her own cab.
She succeeded and proceeded to the office. When she got there she got out of the taxi, paid the driver and walked into the building. Then she walked up to the main counter.
"Hi! I'm Casey Macdonald. Dennis MacDonald's daughter." said Casey.
"Hello. Can I see some ID please?" she asked.
Casey handed the girl her drivers license.
"Alright Ms. MacDonald. Have a great day." she said handing Casey her licence back.
"Thanks." she said heading to the elevator.
When Casey got to her floor she started walking down the hallway. When she was walking past a room she saw Ryan in the copy room with his back faced towards the door, copying papers.
She stopped walking and as silent as a mouse crept into the room. She put her hands over his eyes and said 'Guess who?'
Ryan covered her hands with his as he turned around.
"Casey?" he said smiling.
"Hi." she said letting go of him. "I'm back. I live in New York." she said lightly laughing.
"Great." he said laughing too.
He looked mighty fine in that black suit he was wearing. Casey snapped herself out of it.
"No, Casey!" she thought.
"I was on my way to your dad's office giving him these papers." he said holding up a stack that he just copied. "Are you going that way?" he asked.
"Yes I am." said Casey smiling. Ryan grabbed the papers and he and Casey made there way out of the copy room and down the hallway to Dennis's office.
Ryan knocked on the open door politely. Dennis was in his leather chair on the phone and motioned for the two to come in.
"Oh, no I'm sorry Mr. Santini. I have to go now. My daughter just arrived from Canada. Alright sir, bye, bye." he said hanging up.
"Casey!" said Dennis as he got out of his chair and went and hugged Casey. "How was your flight?"
"It was good, it was a smooth flight. Are you hungry?" she asked.
"I was gonna stop by the house, but now that you're here you just wanna go to our company lunch? I was gonna blow it off, cause you were coming today, but since you're here, do you wanna go to that?"
"Yeah, sure." she said happily.
"Ryan your going right?" asked Dennis.
"Yeah, Mr. MacDonald." he said.
"Ryan, how many times did I ask you to call me Dennis?" he asked
"Alright…Dennis." said Ryan, Casey lightly laughed.
"Well let's get in the company car." he said walking out of his office with the two.
XOXO
They had decided to go to a favorite restaurant called The Jump Start. It was very nice, it was casual yet elegant. Any style could fit in there.
They had a table outside and Ryan and Casey were sitting across from each other. Ryan kept giving her little glances when she wasn't looking and she was doing the same thing.
Hanging out with everyone was actually pretty fun, that was until Casey was to actually work with them or so she thought.
Eventually everyone had to go back to work except Ryan because he had night classes at school. So they were the only ones who had the afternoon free. They walked around the neighbourhood for little while, but Casey wanted to get a head start on unpacking and decorating so Ryan walked her home.
The two stopped around in front of the door and it was an awkward silence.
"Thanks for walking me home." said Casey.
"Yeah, no problem. I'll see you later." he said smiling.
"Great." said Casey smiling back.
Ryan turned around and walked down the porch steps. Casey watched every mood he made.
"Oh no! This wasn't supposed to be happening!" She thought.
She turned around herself and opened the door. She closed it without looking up and started walking to her room when she heard something in the other room. She walked over to it and there was Derek sitting on the couch.
"Derek?" Casey asked, eyes wide.
"Hey, babe!" he said smirking.
A/N-HAHAHAHA! Yay, Derek is back, what's going to happen now? Why is he even there? Uh oh, your gonna have to review if you want more. lol
