Later, like way later—after the pack ate through all of our grapes(My grapes,I was told?) and chips, like tons of chips and watched several of the movies that hid between books and CD's. We made a drive to the beach, the sand was warm despite the cold air the swept in from the ocean.
Lydia, Erica, and Allison took upon themselves to dress me before we left. Leaving me looking like I belong in The Notebook. I wore a three inch strap sun dress; it's colors rather morbid and grey, along with a light cotton grey throw.
I sighed as I stood inches from the water, high tide would come in soon, I wasn't going to walk in any farther. I crossed my arms as I listened to the rolling and crashing of the waves.
It was lonely at the beach, not many people decide they want to go to the beach at seven-thirty PM- on a Monday nonetheless.
It was quiet and the slow whisper of the wind sent chills throughout my body. I was lost in my thoughts as I let the damp, cool, sand sink from under my bare feet. I listened for anything that would need my attention; Isaac calling for me, or Derek trying to sneak behind me. But that was all to was-
"Alright, Action!" Scott yelled. I glanced over my shoulder, Scott stood behind a video camera that was perched on a tripod; he insisted that he film it in case I ever forgot (Again). But we all knew it as some kind of revenge or something.
"Do you really intent for us to reenact this and have you film it?" Derek leaned against the hood of his Camaro; his hands deep in his pockets and one leg cross over the other lazily. Scott huffed in annoyance, "Yes!"
Derek rolled his eyes then caught my glance at him. He corked a smile and I flushed, I felt my heart kick up a beat. I turned away and stared back into the endless water, The sun was gently touching the rim of the horizon it's gleam light and red, almost the beautiful red of Derek's eyes. He thought I didn't notice them when he told off that guy at the door the other night, but how couldn't I?
I heard Isaac call from the life guard tower just behind Scott, I smiled at him as he gave me a thumbs up. I was sure that he and I shared a bond that was just like mother and son. As to when that started, well I don't know.
Scott argued with Derek awhile and Allison walked over to me, "We all knew you and Derek were meant to be," She started as she stared out as I looked at her.
"You two were in denial and-" She giggled and glanced over to meet my gaze "There was so much tension, we were all just waiting for it to explode,"
I smiled as she giggled her eyes flickered in the memory, her scent invading the smell of salt water and pearl white sand. Though I won't complain, she smelled of raspberries and hard candy, how does one smell like that?
It was like she lived in a candy shop.
"We're ready!" Scott yelled, Allison and I glanced over our shoulders at Scott smiling happily while Derek was frowning so hard, you'd think the mountains would crumple from his stare. Allison touched my shoulder and smiled; I smiled back. She took off for Scott and the video camera.
I sighed as stood where I was and looked back at the horizon. The sun sinking further into the water; I closed my eyes and took in the scent of salt water, pearl white sand, and Derek? A musk wood, with dap forest floors, autumn leaves, and a full moon run after it rained. I was defiantly high, I felt high.
"Action!" I heard Scott shout. Then a quiet whisper of music, almost like a Disney movie. In fact, it was a Disney song. I bite my bottom lip to keep the smile off my face. No amount of head damage will ever erase the sound of 'A whole new world,' from a memory. My inner child wanted to sing along and reenact the whole scene. But I'd get yelled at for sure.
I felt watched, as Derek's scent was stronger, closer.
I can show you the world, shinning, shimmering, and splendid; tell me, princess, now when did you last let your heart decide?
Derek's hands met my hips as he slipped in behind me. He leaned down towards my ear, but didn't say anything. The feel of his hands gently resting on my hips was like the feel of clothing against my skin. I liked it, and I was comfortable. Derek sighed, his chest raising and falling against my back.
A whole new world, A new fantastic point of view, No one to tell us no or where to go
Derek pressed his cheek to the side of my head, almost like he didn't want to be removed from the contact. He hummed quietly as he took in a breath. Our hearts slowly found each other and their beats were like twins. I smiled, blissfully, softly. Like it was a natural occurrence; I heard Scott shuffle closer; Cameras, no matter how good they don't have super hearing.
Unbelievable sights, Indescribable feeling Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Derek straightened himself out and I heard a soft, quiet growl that was only audible to were-ears. It was a warning, Scott was getting to close. Derek leaned his head down on the opposite side "Stiles,"
His voice was deep and right above my ear, it was warm and welcoming. I hummed.
A hundred thousand things to see (Hold your breath, it gets better) I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far
His warped his arms around me and kissed my temple. A soothing kiss, one I've felt before, it was all starting to feel familiar and safe. He held me tightly, I stared out, the sun was half engulfed by the sea, a deep red that as shinning off the seas surface. As strange as it should've been, it was beautiful. Derek hummed in my ear, my eye lids became heavy and drifting shut.
A whole new world (Every turn a surprise) With new horizons to pursue (Every moment red letter)
"It was an accident," Derek said somewhere in-between a whisper and his normal tone, "Falling in love with you," he kissed my temple again and inhaled, "And now,"
It hit me like a bullet; those words, I know them. This man, I know him. My Mate, "And now," I said
The song was in its high point, I turned in Derek's arms and rested my hands on his chest. I know this man, I know him. This moment, this vulnerable moment, I knew it. I pushed off slightly so I could see his face. He gazed down at me, unchanged. The same look I got when we were here first.
"A whole new world," I sang with the song, Derek smiled.
"A whole new world,"
"That's where we'll be," I followed the song, I cupped my hands underneath Derek's jaw.
"Where we'll be," Derek smiled
"A thrilling chase," I leaned in closer, still smiling softly
"A wondrous place" Derek tightened his grip.
"For you and . . . Me," Derek and I sang in union with the song. My smile was almost toothy and my eyes drifted shut as he leaned down and kissed me. The song ended and Derek pulled away keeping our foreheads connected.
"I've missed you," He whispered in a sigh. My smile was relaxed and rested lazily on my lips as I sighed, "I've missed you,"
"Did it work?" Isaac called from the life guard post. Derek and I shared a secret laugh as we brushed our noses together.
