A/N: This is almost my last chapter!! I hope you like it, I was very happy with the results.
Three years had passed since Derek had taken Casey to Skate-o-rama. They were now Seniors in college. Derek met Casey at her last class. They had plans to go to the movie store, and rent something to watch that night. He waited by the door until Casey came out. She was the last one out, so Derek pushed her playfully back into the empty classroom, up against a wall, and kissed her deeply.
"God, I missed that all day," Casey said picking up her books that she dropped when Derek surprised her.
"Me too. And we only have 18 and half more hours until classes start again. Let's make it count."
Casey loved it when Derek got into these spontaneous moods. Derek pushed her back up against the wall and kissed her again, as Casey dropped her books for the second time, this time on her feet, but Derek noticed that she did not seem to care where they landed. After a little bit, Casey finally pulled away, and picked up her books again. "Soooo...Movie Store?"
Casey smiled brightly. "Yup. Lets go. Your car or mine?" Casey said knowing perfectly well, he would say hers. Just so he can be able to touch me every minute. Although, I am not complaining.
"Yours," Derek replied smiling. She probably knows my game by now. "I love the smell of your car." Crap, did I just say that outloud?
Casey looked puzzled. "What?"
Derek suddenly looked down. "It smells like your body lotion. I have a little bit of a fettish for cocoa butter lotion now."
He heard a thud, and suddenly Casey was pressed up against him, kissing him as hard as she could for being Casey. Casey stopped after a minute, and picked up her books for the third time. "Let's go," Casey said walking away from Derek leaveing him smiling.
Derek ran after her saying "You do surprise me, Casey Macdonald."
Derek could practiclly feel Casey grinning ear to ear. She loved it when Derek told her things like that. And Derek knew that.
They got to Casey's car, and Derek playfully went to the drivers side and opened it for her. "Door, Miss?"
Casey played along. "Why thank you kind sir." Derek closed her door, and ran around to the other side. Casey started up the car, and they started off into the direction of the local movie rental place, that they know visited regurarly, while Derek gently strokeing her arm.
As they entered the door, and felt a rush of the cool air, Casey playfully pushed Derek.
"Ok...So we are looking for the preppy chick flick section..." Derek said trying to get back at Casey.
"Yes," Casey said not skipping a beat, "And the action movies."
Casey did not mind being a prep. Derek did not mind being...Derek. That's why we are the perfect match, Casey thought to herself.
They grabbed several different movies, checked out, and headed out the door. Casey's cell phone suddenly went off. Derek stopped and listened and tried to see if he could figure out who she was talking to.
"Really?? Awwww..." Casey squeeled.
Emily, Derek knew right away. He got a little bored, and started looking around him, and noticed those machines. The kind that give gumballs, and other assorted items, like fake tatoos, if you put in a quarter. Derek rummaged around in his pocket for a quarter. He found one. Casey noticed him fishing around in her pockets next to him. "Hold on a second, Em...What are you doing Derek?"
Derek suddenly wanted to pick a fight. He did not particularly like to sit and listen to Casey and Emily gab. "Well, I was looking for a quarter since I am stuck here listening to you gab," Derek said, rolling his eyes.
Casey felt an urge to pick a fight. "Well, I am sorry for inconveniencing you. Emily needs to talk to me, she has very important issues, and I am sorry, but you are not a part of them at the moment...Emily?...I gotta go."
Casey hung up the phone. Derek suddenly felt extremely bad. Why do I get so irritable when I am bored? I am 2, not being able to wait for a phone conversation. Poor Casey. She did not even do anything.
Casey faced the other way of Derek. They looked like children sitting on the bench sitting opposite directions, just gathering their thoughts. People all around them on the sidewalk stopped to look at them, when passing.
Derek looked over at the quarter machines again. He stared at one offering sour candies. Why do I do this to her? Bring up petty little problems? I apologize, and everything turns out great, but I am tired of the tiny little arguments...I want to fix this. Derek suddenly had an idea. He got the quarter out of his pocket, and stood up from the bench. Casey turned around on the bech, and looked up. "Where do you think you are going?"
Man, she looks adorable when she is mad. Not responding Derek walked over to one of the quarter machines, while Casey just stared at him in curiosity. He inserted the quarter, and got exactly what he wanted. He walked over to Casey. I can not beleive I am doing this right now...But I can't wait any longer. I love her.
"Derek what are you doing?" Casey said her pout vanishing off her face, and now a curiosity one appearing.
Derek got down on one knee, and pulled out the small plastic ball, and popped off the top. Casey sat there in awe. People nearby started to pause for a minute to see what was going on.
"Casey Macdonald, I love you so much. I feel like I do not deserve you at most times. Especially when I fight about stupid, small, miniscule probelms, when you don't deserve that. You deserve so much more. You are so special. Casey...Would you marry an idiot like me?"
Derek did not know how to say it any other way. Derek pulled out the ring inside the container.
Casey could feel herself start crying. Why do I get so emotional? The ring was a silver metal that you could expand or make tinier. The plastic jewl was purple, with a pink border, in the shape of a heart. Casey just stared at the ring in awe. It's perfect, she thought to herself. She turned to Derek, and he looked so anxious kneeling there. She realized it was her turn to say something. Her turn to reply. She suddenly felt extremely nervous.
"Yes, Derek, I would marry an idiot like you."
She did not know how to say it any other way. She was too speechless. But Derek did not seem to care. He expanded the ring a little bit, and Casey held out her hand. He slipped it on. It looked great on her, even though it was meant for children. It somehow worked on her.
Casey was still sitting on the bench, but Derek changed that in a hurry. He pulled her up, and pressed her up gently to him, but kissed her as hard as he ever had. God, I hope I am not hurting her, but I can't help myself.
Casey pushed back just as hard. I hope I am not killing him right now. But I can't help myself.
They both pulled away, and Derek grabbed her hand. "Come on. Let's celebrate."
Casey laughed. He was spontaneous again. Who knows where they would go now?
A/N: And, that was the proposal. I had the proposal in mind, for quite some time. That is actually my dream proposal right there. I have had the idea of that for a couple years. lol. Maybe someday, I will be in Casey's position!!...OK, enough daydreaming. I have one more final chapter to go!! I will post it up soon!! If you have any ideas for the final chapter, please feel free to leave your suggestions in a review or give me a message!!
