Chapter 9

Last Chapter:

Casey was sleeping against Derek's shoulder. Derek asleep against her head.

XOXO

A 7 hour and 20 minute flight. The flight left at 8:15 and it was now 3:35am in their eyes. Casey woke up and looked around with her eyes not moving her head because she had a headache from lack of sleep. She hears a faint gruffly sound in her ear and she looked up to see Derek's head still on top of hers. She freaked at the contact and shot away from him.

"Huh? I didn't do it!" he yelled his hair messy from the way it had been laying and his eyes were half closed with dark circles below them.

Most of the people on the plane threw glances his way including their family. Derek just quietly laid back in his seat like before and looked forward.

After what seemed like forever they were finally at the gate and free to roam around the cabin. Derek wouldn't let Casey out until the plane seemed empty enough to talk.

He turned to her and leaned in real close. Casey closed her eyes out of instincts thinking that he was going to kiss her again, something that he seemed to be doing a lot lately.

He leaned in until his lips were right up to her ear. She felt his breath tickle her and she wanted to pull away but at the same time, didn't.

"Last one to the top of the slope, owes the winner a night out." he them pulled away and Casey opened her eyes and looked at him; dumbfounded.

He then stood up grabbed his carry on and swung it over his chest before walking out of the plane.

XOXO

"Nice of you two, to meet us in baggage claim 20 minutes later." said George.

"Yeah Smerek! I have to pee!" yelled Marti.

"It's okay Marti, I'll take you. Case, Liz do you need to go?"

"I do." said Lizzie.

"Yeah, Derek wouldn't let me out of my seat so I need to go bad." she threw his a glare. He smirked.

"George will be back in a few." said Nora before taking all the girls to the ladies room.

XOXO

Casey was waiting for Nora, Lizzie and Marti while she fixed her hair. Her front pocket started vibrating and Casey reached and grabbed her phone and pulled it out and flipped it open.

Casey clicked view and the message popped up from…him.

"Bet u miss me."

She clicked reply.

"Bet u want me." She laughed at her sarcastic comment that was strangely something that Derek himself would say.

"O trust me I do." Casey got a chill. Was he kidding? He could have been kidding. Then again…

"Easy there space case." Yeah she was looking way into it.

"Y R U annoying me?" she asked.

"It's fun." she didn't care to reply to him she just shut her phone and through it in her purse which was on the counter next to the sink.

"Honey, you tired?" asked Nora who came out with Marti who danced to the sink.

"Yeah very."

Lizzie came out of a stall and yawned loudly.

"We better get to the hotel or I think were all going to fall asleep standing up." said Nora who washed her hands. "Marti no!" she said looking at Marti who had the sink over flowing with soap.

Casey laughed and grabbed her purse.

Lizzie washed her hands while Nora helped Marti clean up the mess that she made.

Finally they all walked out of the bathroom and Derek was right outside leaning up against the wall looking like a hot bad ass.

"What are you doing here?" asked Casey.

"Dad asked me to take Edwin to the bathroom so he wouldn't get picked up by creepy rapist who listens to country music and has a collection of porcelain cats in his basement."

"Nice analogy. Mom go ahead I'll wait for Edwin and walk back with Derek."

"Okay be careful you two."

Nora, Lizzie and Marti walked away and Casey looked back at Derek.

"You know, there could be a rapist in the bathroom." she pointed the direction of the bathroom.

"Pshhh." he acted all cool before running into the bathroom.

About 1 minute later he came out with Edwin.

"All clear." said Derek.

Casey just looked at him, smiled and rolled her eyes before walking ahead of the two boys.

XOXO

"Vell, vere it is. Da fabulous Chalet du Mont d'Arbois." said the shuttle driver.

"Thank-you Very much." said Nora slowly hoping that he would have a clue on what she was saying.

"Mom. Let me." said Casey piping up. " Merci beaucoup."

" Vous êtes très bienvenu. a une vacances agréables." he replied back.

"He said 'You are very welcome. Have a nice vacation." Casey translated French for the rest of the family.

"Okay and how do you know French?" asked Derek confused.

"Not that it's any of your business or anything but I've been taking a French class since I was 10. If you pay attention at all in school, you would know that our school does infact provide a French class, or did you just flunk out of that class forgetting that you actually needed to attend it?"

"Casey, Derek. Cool it." said George.

They both sighed and looked away from each other.

Everyone got out of the shuttle and grabbed their luggage. The family besides Derek and Casey walked into the hotel with their bags to check in.

"Wow it is so beautiful here. I can't wait to take some pictures of the gorgeous view of this place." Casey said sweetly.

"Yeah while your pretending to be a girl, I'm going to be slashing up those slopes with my board." said Derek matter-of-factly.

"Oh and before I forget, make sure you crash into a tree. Maybe it will do some good in restoring your brain. You know, like a trigger." she said cockily.

"Ha-ha-ha. Well maybe I just might, if you can be my nurse." he said slapping her ass as he walked past her into the hotel.

She gasped and glared at him.

"If I was his nurse, I'd poison his food."

XOXO

The lobby of the hotel was so adorable. It was big and gorgeous but quaint and homey. Right in the middle of the lobby floor was a big and beautiful Christmas tree decorated in lights of all colours. On the top of the tree was a peaceful angel. She was dumbfounding. Absolutely exuberant.

Casey dug her camera out of her purse and started backing up to take a picture of the tree.

Thump Sizzle

"Ah!" said the person that Casey had crashed into. His boiling hot coffee spilled all over his tan jacket.

"Oh my! I'm so sorry!" she said.

"Nice one Klutzilla!" said Derek from across the room.

"Vits okay. I'm vine. Ard you?" said the guy as he brushed off his jacket. He looked down at her because of his height. He had amazing brown eyes. His hair covered his ears and it was a dark brown. He was in shape, you could tell.

Casey nodded.

"Do you speak any French?" he asked in a heavy accent.

"un petit (A little).Etes-vous en vacances? (Are you on vacation?)" Casey asked slowly. Although she had taken French for 7 years, she didn't want to sound stupid, so she talked slow but a normal slow. Not a mentally challenged slow.

"Non, en fait je suis le fait le surf des neiges l'instructeur. Je travaille ici pendant ma coupure d'hiver.( no, actually I am the snowboard instructor. I work here during my winter break. )

Casey took about a minute to process what he said. He looked and her and laughed friendly.

"Vell, are you staying vere at the resort?" he asked.

"Yeah. Winter break for me too." she replied.

"Vell, hopefully you vill come and take some snowboarding lessons. Free of charge." he said.

Casey blushed.

"Yeah maybe." she said.

"Great. Vell I better go get another coffee. I have a lesson and I don't vant to freeze out zere."

"Alright, bye."

He walked around her before quickly turning back around.

"I apologize. I vorgot to catch your name."

"It's Casey." she said sweetly.

"Casey? Pretty name. I'm Sebastian

"Well, au revoir, Sebastian."

He smiled his pearly whites before walking in the direction he came.

Casey sighed to herself and smiled. She made her way over to the rest of the family and Derek looked at her like she was on crack. He then let out an amused laugh.

"What?" she asked annoyed.

"Can you be any more cliché?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" she asked

"Oh, look at me. I'm from France, I like to pretend like I'm a snowboarder. Watch me flip in the air like a dolphin in water." He pretended to wave his arms together like a sea creature would. "Let me give you a lessen." he teased on.

"You were listening in on our conversation?" she asked irritated.

"Oh pleeeease." he threw his head back when he said it. It was actually pretty hot. "Listening…eh…I guess you could say that. But don't fret little McDonald. It was almost to interesting and exciting that I almost passed out!" he said smiling cheerily and clapping his hands.

"You are so…so…"

"Hot, sexy, built, smart, witty…huge." he lifted his eyebrows up and down suggestively.

"Infuriating!"

"but still all those qualities. Especially huge."

"Yeah, you mean your huge superficial bubble that fills up the hollow space where your brain should be?" she said.

"No, I mean my huge and amazing pe-"

"Don't you dare even finish that sentence."

"What can I say, it's Paradise City babe."

"Well, I say go screw yourself then, Derek."

He smirked and his eyes looked straight at her. He had nothing to say back.

"Ewww!" Casey made a face before quickly getting away from Derek.

He just laughed and she could hear him in the background as her eyes looked away.
