Casey woke up to her alarm clock going off; she glanced at it and read the time: 6:00AM. She needed to wake up a little earlier today to make sure her plan went well. She got her clothes ready for after she gets out of the shower. Then she carefully tip-toed over to the read door with a yellow and black "Keep Out" sign: the room containing her boyfriend. She slowly turned the doorknob and opened the door, silently walking over to his bed looking at him. He was lying on his back sleeping peacefully. Seeing this, she hopped on top of him.
He immediately opened his eyes and was about to yell at her but it came out as a whisper because she put a finger up to her mouth to motion that she didn't want others to wake up.
"Casey, what are you doing?!" He complained in that raspy, just waking up voice that Casey noticed was so sexy. She put a hand over his moth before speaking to him.
"Just follow me." She said grabbing his hand and pulling him up.
"What are we doing? It's six a.m. and I'm still tired!" He whined as Casey directed him towards the bathroom.
"You won't be after this." She warned him as they both entered the bathroom, shutting the door and locking it.
"You lost me…" he said as he winced when Casey turned the lights on. Casey smiled turning the water to the shower on. Then she stepped over to Derek and took his shirt off.
"Whoa. What are you doing?" He asked as his shirt was thrown on the ground. Casey didn't answer; all she did was start taking off her shirt.
"Well… no arguing with you there!" He said looking at her upper body. "What is going on though, Casey? This isn't like you." Derek asked now looking at her face.
"Exactly. Now who's predictable?" Casey asked grabbing his pajama pants by the top and pulling them down.
"Definitely not you…" Derek said smiling as he took her pants off and they removed the rest of their clothing before stepping into the shower together, kissing.
They caressed each other up and down still kissing before Derek made his way leaving a trail of kisses down her upper body. They eventually washed each other off after their kissing had ceased. Once they were done with their shower, they grabbed towels and wrapped them around each other and opening the door.
"You guys are so busted." A voice said from the doorway. Casey and Derek looked up to see Edwin standing there smirking.
"Edwin, you promised you wouldn't tell my mom or George about us!" Casey said to Edwin advancing towards him, forgetting that she was in just a towel.
"I never said I was going to tell anyone. But you two were busted by me." Edwin said smiling.
"Don't scare us like that again, Ed." Derek warned his younger brother by waving a finger at him; which made his eyes widen and him back up a little. "You tell no one about this." Derek continued.
"Not even Lizzie?" Edwin asked, he knew that was a bad idea but it was worth a shot. Derek got closer to him and he backed up more, stumbling over a toy left by Marti on the ground, but not falling.
"What do you not understand about, 'No one'?" He asked angrily.
"Oh, nothing… reading you loud and clear, bro!" Edwin replied nervously, giving a chuckle at the end.
"Good, now go run along, and get ready for school." Derek said, completely transforming his face from a frightening expression to a sweet one. Edwin ran off to his room in the attic and followed Derek's orders. With that, Casey walked into her bedroom as Derek followed her.
She didn't realize Derek had followed her into her room until she heard the door behind her shut without her doing it. She turned around, still holding the towel around her, as she raised an eyebrow seeing a smirking Derek in her room.
"What do you think you are doing?" Casey asked not as much angrily than annoyed.
"Well, I figured you might need help getting dressed." He said nonchalantly, and his face was full of hope.
"Well you figured wrong, so go into your own room and get your own clothes on!" She said opening the door and pushing him out of it. After she had closed the door he smirked and walked into his room to get ready for school. He looked at the clock, "6:45AM" He read aloud. "Eff that! I'm going back to bed!" He said to himself before putting on a pair of boxers and crawling back into bed.
He woke up for the second time to his alarm clock going off. He didn't open his eyes until he slammed his hand on the off button. After getting up, he didn't think about putting on clothes before going downstairs for breakfast.
"Derek, put some clothes on!" George yelled, and Casey instantly spit out the orange juice she was currently drinking.
"So much more than any of us wanted to see this morning, Derek." Casey said after wiping her mouth and pretending to look disgusted. Derek smirked at her comment and ignored their wishes for him to put clothes on by grabbing a bowl and sitting down at the island counter.
"Derek, come on. None of us want to see you half naked!"Nora started, but Derek still didn't budge.
"I beg to differ." He said to himself, but no one heard it, except for Edwin who tried his hardest not to laugh.
"Just go upstairs and please put at least some pants on!" Nora said and with that he got up to follow her orders.
After breakfast was over, Casey and Derek made their way to the garage and into 'The Prince'. Derek was driving, of course, and Casey was in the passenger's seat holding his right hand as he drove with his left.
They got to the school and traveled inside to go to their lockers. They had the first class together so they decided they'd meet up there. Casey's stomach was in knots as she walked into her English classroom and sat down in the seat next to Derek. He noticed that she was uncomfortable so he put his hand on her back and rubbed it gently while smiling sweetly at her.
Emily walked in soon after and sat next to Casey in her new seat, giving her a confused look.
"Casey, why'd you move?" Emily asked Casey not noticing Derek and Casey's hands that were now holding each other tightly. After Emily's question Casey squeezed his hand even harder.
"Um… I wanted to sit next to Derek…" Casey said uncomfortably giving her best friend a hopeful smile.
"Why?" she asked and after she said that she glanced at their hands. Her eyes widened. "What's going on, guys?"
"Um… Well…" Casey started but she couldn't speak, she was too nervous that Emily was going to disown her as a friend and she couldn't deal with that.
"We're dating." Derek said bluntly, leaning forward on his desk looking past Casey to talk to Emily. Emily's eyes were still wide and she looked around the room nervously. She didn't say anything the rest of the period and when the bell rang she ran out of the room, leaving Casey on the verge of tears with Derek to console her.
"Casey, calm down. Maybe she was just confused and needs some time to think about it all. She did have a crush on me for ten years…" Derek said, but the last part of the statement made Casey sob more.
"I'm a horrible friend!" She said between sobs, but right then someone other than Derek piped in.
"No you're not…" Emily said walking back into the classroom, smiling and holding a book in her hands. The book wasn't a textbook; it was more like a scrapbook with many papers sticking out of it in disarray.
"How can you say that, Em? I'm dating the guy that you've had a crush on forever." Casey said wiping her eyes.
"Casey, I have Sheldon now, and am well over Derek, no offence." She started directing the last part to Derek, who nodded before she continued, "Anyways, I know you two are meant to be, and the day that I saw the chemistry between you guys two years ago, I started this." Emily said handing the scrapbook to Casey.
"What is it?" Casey asked looking at it intently without opening it. On the front cover was the word, "Dasey" in large letters.
"It's a scrapbook of every moment, that I was there for, with a little help from other accomplices, that you two had shown any bit of attraction towards each other. Dasey is the combination of your names: Derek and Casey." Emily explained; Casey and Derek looked dumbstruck at each other. They weren't aware that they were showing any bit of interest towards each other, especially Casey. She didn't want anything to do with Derek in fear that the feelings would come back.
It was then that she realized that the feelings never left. They flipped through the book and saw a few things that made them smile and then a few things that made Casey mad at Derek, for being so rude to her.
"Hey, no fighting. He only did those things to make you notice him." Emily spoke up.
All of this surprised the new couple, yet somewhat old couple, because Emily didn't know anything about their past. Casey decided that later that day she would tell Emily exactly why Casey and Derek had fallen for each other or more importantly, when. Casey handed the book back to Emily but found that it was just pushed back into her arms.
"No, you keep it." Emily told her. "I don't need it anymore. I was going to one day use it to show you guys that you needed to be together but it seems that you found that out without my guidance." She said happily.
"Thanks, Em, you have no idea how much it means to me that you are on board with all of this." Casey said extending her arm out to touch Emily's arm.
"Hey, how can anyone interfere with true love?" She said and with that she got up and Derek and Casey looked at each other lovingly before Emily spoke again. "You guys should probably get to your next class. You are already twenty minutes late." After stating that fact she walked out of the room again.
"Derek! I have never been late to Spanish!" She yelled at her boyfriend, starting to hyperventilate.
"Calm down, crazy woman!" Derek said pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket and started writing something on it.
"What are you doing, Derek?!" She said still breathing heavily.
"Writing out a hall pass." Derek said as if it were an every day occurrence, of course for him it probably was.
"Fake hall passes? Derek, our teacher will never believe this!" She said grabbing the paper from his hand.
"One: these passes are very real, just not what I'm writing on them. Two: Señora Sanchez will definitely believe it because you are never late, remember?" Derek explained and Casey sighed giving the pass back to Derek, she didn't want to touch it anymore, she felt dirty.
"Whatever, can we just go?" Casey said pulling him out of his seat and out of the room. When they got to the classroom Derek handed the teacher their pass and she looked at him suspiciously but caught sight of Casey and smiled.
"Alright you two, sit down, we are just starting our lesson on food." She said to them before walking over to the blackboard and addressing the rest of the class now, "Las papas fritas means French fries." She said wiggling her eyebrows up and down to the class as they all started cheering in favor of the food. The two sat down next to each other in the back where Sam was sitting also.
"Hey dude, Emily told me what's going on." Sam said to Derek, who now got a fearful look on his face, which Sam had noticed. "Chill, I'm with you guys, don't worry." Sam said and relief came over Derek's face.
"Are you sure, I mean, you dated her and I'm your best friend, I shouldn't have done that to you." Derek said sorrowfully.
"Wow, you actually feel bad about something, Derek Venturi, you are a softee." Sam said and Derek playfully punched his arm.
"Shut up, dude." He warned Sam insincerely. With that, they stopped talking and actually paid attention to the class for the most part until Sam spoke up once again.
"By the way, I was one of Emily's helpers on that little book that she was making." Sam told Derek after about 20 minutes of the Spanish lesson.
"Awww, little Sammy likes to scrap book!" Derek said mocking him.
"Hey, at least I wasn't completely oblivious to the fact that I was in love with someone." Sam said turning the tables and making fun of Derek now.
"Wanna know something, dude?" Derek said in a serious tone and Sam nodded, "I knew all along."
"Sure you did, D. Sure you did." Sam said sarcastically, and Derek was about to argue when the bell rang.
"This isn't over." He said to Sam, waving his finger at him as if they were about to fight, but not in the angry tone, but more in a joking tone.
"Uh huh. Yeah, okay, I believe you." Sam said once again being sarcastic before walking out of the classroom.
Derek wanted to tell Sam everything about his and Casey's past, but not only did he not want to say anything in front of Casey who was sitting right next to them in Spanish anyways, but he didn't have any time to as the class was over. Derek decided though, that sometime today, he would tell Sam what exactly had happened two years ago before their parents wedding.
The night I fell in love... Derek thought as he walked down the hallway smiling down at the woman he was holding next to him. With Casey McDonald.
