Chapter 10

It has been three days since my date with Derek and I couldn't wait for the one we have this afternoon. Although, I began to worry when I heard the news of the newest murder at the video rental store. Scott snuck out of course, but this time I stayed in bed so Derek could focus without knowing I was in the area. Besides, in this episode (or in my case, last night) Derek shows what the Alpha is capable of. So I didn't receive word of it until I noticed Lydia wasn't in school and Stiles blurted out what happened while we watch Scott go meet Allison.

When I received no call or text from Derek on canceling, my heart just couldn't wait until I get out of work today. Luckily, the principal was kind enough to give me a half day so I could leave early to meet up with Derek. I was just locking up my office when I sensed Derek was somewhere in the school.

Probably interrogating Jackson about last night. I thought as my hand covered the other hand that have the scars of where Derek's claws dug into.

I usually do that when I think about Derek or whenever somebody mentions him. I manage to heal the marks, but only to be scarred slightly due to the after effects of wolfsbane. Derek saw the scarring one night and begun to feel guilty until I kissed him. Works every time!

I returned to the house and got changed for my date. My outfit for the rest of the day was a black halter top, dark blue jeans, my Airwalks, and, of course, my leather jacket. The only accessory that I wear was my necklace and a black baseball cap to protect my eyes from the sun. After a long mental debate with myself, I flew to the Hale house and landed lightly onto the roof. Derek was no doubt working out and, if memory serves, is shirtless. I'm about to have a heart attack from this!

I peered into a window that was no doubt his bedroom and saw it was vacant. The window was wide open (no doubt for my arrival) and I climbed inside. I could hear a woman talking downstairs and I realized what has just happened. Derek was working out, but was interrupted by Psychotic Kate and her cronies. She started talking shit about Laura to cause Derek to retaliate.

I tiptoed out of the room and peeked over the stairway to see the cronies knocked unconscious. Don't the hunters know not to mess with Derek Hale? Only I could mess with him because I don't try to kill him. I jumped over the railing and landed noiselessly on my feet (yeah, I'm that fucking graceful! Booyah!). I snuck into the living room, but kept close to the shadows. Thank god I wore my cap today or she would see my face!

I was right behind Kate so she couldn't see me, but only Derek would. His eyes darted momentarily towards me, but I put a finger to my lips. I pointed at the hunting bitch and signaled not to give anything away. We both turned our attention back at Kate, who was oblivious to the entire exchange.

"We just want to know who the Alpha is, Derek." Kate said. Damn it, I missed most of the monologue! "I know you want to kill him yourself, but we want to work together with you to take this Alpha out. All you have to do is tell me who the Alpha is." Derek remained silence for he didn't know who the Alpha is…yet. "Unless you don't know who it is."

Sorry, Kate, I thought sneaking up behind her. but it's too soon and here is no way I'm going to let you kill the one man I love.

With that thought, I karate chopped the crazy blonde, knocking her out. I walked towards Derek and helped him up. Yup, he was still shirtless! We ran upstairs and locked ourselves in his room. He grabbed his shirt and put it on while I grabbed his jacket.

"How long until they wake up?" I asked as he pulled on his jacket.

"Not long enough." Derek answered heading towards the window. "We have to get out of here."
I smiled as I walked over to the window. "Your wish is my command." I told him making him smirk. "How comfortable are you with flying?"

We were in my room an hour later, recovering from the events that unfolded at the Hale house. Poor Derek was weak from being Tasered that I had to heal him until the effects of the Kate's weapon vanished.

"Done!" I announced moving away from Derek. "How do you feel?"

Derek got up from my bed and moved around. He didn't show any sign of being Tasered at all.

"I'm back to my old self." He said. "Thank you."

I smiled. "I'm going to check to make sure nobody is here." I told him, walking toward the door. "I have no excuse about why you are here. Also, can't really tell the truth or we are so screwed."

I returned a while later, relieved that nobody was home. Mrs. McCall was probably at work and I knew from the episode that Scott ran off with Allison for the day. When I entered my room, my eyes saw that Derek had taken my laptop and was reading a story I had started typing on there. I felt a rush of anger and embarrassment for I left my laptop unlocked when I left to see Derek. Now he was reading a short fantasy that I came up with last night before bed.

"Derek, what are you doing?!" I exclaimed walking over to my bed where he was reading my story. "That laptop is personal! Give it back!"

Derek looked embarrassed at being caught, but didn't return the laptop. "Why are you so worried?" he asked. "This is really good. I never thought you were the writing type."

"You really like it?" I asked crawling onto the bed and sitting next to him. "Not many people like my writing. It's mainly fantasies that I make in my head."

Derek closed the laptop and set it on the nightstand next to him. "Why didn't you tell me you have such a gift?" he asked, looking into my eyes.

"Honestly," I said. "it really isn't anyone's business."

The next thing that happened was Derek and I kissing each other. Derek placed one hand on my back and the other tangling into my hair. I placed a hand on his shoulder to pull him more towards me while the other messes with his hair. He pushed me down onto my back and I thanked God that nobody was home. He was on top of me and I wrapped myself around him, kissing him with more emotion. Our jackets were tossed onto the floor as our actions become more intimate. I was moaning as Derek kissed and nipped at my neck. I nipped his ear, which made him growl and smash his mouth onto mine. I took Derek's shirt of him, almost ripping it off. His bare skin pressed against me as I felt heat radiated off him. I felt a tug at my waist and my pants were off before I could stop him. He pulled me towards him and I wrapped my legs around his waist. I opened my mouth slightly so I could taste him once more.

The front door slammed shut downstairs and we stopped what we were doing. Hearing the heartbeat and sensing who was downstairs made my heart stop.

"Crap, Scott's mom is home!" I whispered, afraid that any moment we were going to get caught.

Mrs. McCall came up the stairs and walked past my room without checking anything. Derek and I disentangled ourselves and quickly put our clothes back on. If Mrs. McCall came in right now, she would flip at the sight of us being partially naked. She walked by again and left the house. We let out a sigh of relief as we heard the car drive away.

"We should probably get out of here." I looked at Derek. "Before we have anymore interruptions."

That seemed to make him more excited because he took me out of the house and we headed to the clearing in the woods. The same place we had our first date. We sat along the Cliffside, looking out at the town as the sun sets. We held each other close, not wanting to separate.

"Derek, what are you going to do when the Alpha is defeated?" I asked him.

He shrugged. "I would probably stay here. Have to make sure there are no more problems that involve the werewolves here. Plus, somebody has to keep an eye on Scott." He looked at me. "What about you?"

I sighed. "I hope to stay here with you. My life wouldn't be the same without you in it."

Derek tightened his grip on me. "I will always be here with you." He promised. "I won't let anyone hurt you."

I smiled at him and kissed him, good and long. We watched as the sky darkened and the town turned on its lights. Derek had a huge future ahead of in, but since I arrived maybe it has change for the better. As long as I was with Derek, nothing will stop me from staying with him.
