Authors Note: Okay so first off I apologize the last chapter was shorter than usual, but basically I just wanted it to focus around their first time and all so please forgive me. Second, in my other fanfiction I decided to have sort of a reviewing contest where whoever for the next couple chapters sends the reviews that I laugh, smile, etc at will get if they want a character, small, but based on them in the future chapter(s). Well I didn't want to leave you guys out so I decided to do the same for this story too. Now the character may or may not have a big role, I haven't decided yet, but if you're interested well then I told you how to win, so try it out. Also the character like I said will be based on you that means that I will need things like your name, personality, style which I will ask you about when I choose a winner. Well that's it and I hope you enjoy chapter twenty six! Oh I also have a little irony for you guys so when I was writing this I was watching lifetime and this movie came on called, "She Drives Me Crazy," and Michael Seater happened to star in it lol!

What Is Wrong With Me?
(A Dasey Fanfiction)
By: SimplyShelbySJL
Chapter 26: The Locket Tells All
Casey's POV
I yawned feeling the light trying to seep through my closed eyelids. I smiled, but then frowned wondering why I didn't feel Derek's arms still wrapped around me from last night. I rubbed my eyes letting them open up and shifting up in my seat looking around. Derek was no where in sight, okay this was weird. I listened for the shower, but there was nothing. I sat there looking around twice, I must be A dreaming or B crazy. I jumped at the sound of a sliding door opening. And there was that famous smile peeking his head through the balcony sliding doors.
"Your up," he smiled sweetly in my direction. I smiled looking at the clock and back at him it was only nine thirty in the morning, "Your up?" He smiled walking inside and over to the bed sitting down on it in front of me leaning over to give me a light kiss on the lips. I smiled as we pulled apart he then smiled sweeter, "hungry?"
I smiled, "yeah, but I'm not ready to get dressed yet, do you mind waiting?" He smiled; okay what is he up to. He then looked back at the still opened balcony door and then back to me, "What about just a few steps?"
I smiled looking at him confused and he smirked pulling me up out of bed and wrapping his arms around me from behind guiding me towards the balcony. I giggled, "Derek what's going on?"
He just whispered in my ear, "You'll see." Both of us were then silent as I suddenly felt him cover my eyes gently with his hands and I stepped over the small bump in the floor out onto the balcony. I felt the warm sun already shinning down on us and could hear the waves crashing against the shore. I smiled still wondering what was going on when his hands moved off my face slowly and I opened my eyes looking around. I gasped there on the balcony was a small table set up with a white table cloth and two chairs. On the table it was beautifully organized from the silverware to the china setting on it. There was also another cart in the corner also beautifully decorated with various and delicious breakfast items. I smiled turning towards Derek, "Derek's its beautiful, but how did you…" he smiled pressing his finger gently to my lips and looking into my eyes.
"Wait that's not the best part," he smiled sweetly. I looked confused; he then smiled spinning me back around holding me around my waist form behind again. "Close your eyes," he whispered and I did as I felt him guide me till I felt the railing of the balcony. He then whispered, "Okay open them and look down."
I smiled looking down and almost crying tears of joy when I looked down and end the sand in huge letters, for all the world to see the words, "Casey I love you." Were spelled out in what looked like hundreds, scratch that, thousands of shells. I gasped in delight not being able to take my eyes away from it and feeling a few tears of joy fall from my eyes. I finally looked up at Derek, "Derek I… it's so beautiful… you didn't have to… I love you too." He smiled looking down at him and back up at me, "I wanted to show you that I want the whole world to know that I love you and that after last night I always will, forever Casey." I smiled as another tear of joy fell from my eyes and Derek reached up his hand gently wiping it away. I didn't know what to say, what could I say, whatever it was it could never top what he did.
I turned back looking at it again making sure all of this was real and it was, it was really, real. I smiled I then turned back to him, "Derek all of this must have taken?" He smiled blushing, "exactly three hours and eleven minutes, but I'd do it over and over again just to see you smile." I smiled at him astounded because that meant he had probably been up since five o'clock this morning.
I then smiled running my hands through my hair and giggling, "I… I don't know what to say." It was true what could you say to a person who had basically spelled out he loved you to the world, how could you top that, you couldn't. Derek smiled pressing his forehead against mine, "don't say anything," he then smirked leaning in and embracing my lips with his.
I smiled running my fingers through his hair as he held the small of my back and stroked my side with his other hand. We didn't pull apart until we had to break for air, and I mean, really, really break for air. He then smiled, "So join me for a private breakfast for two?"
I smiled pretending to ponder the question, "Well… I'd love to," he then nodded smiling and taking my hand as we walked the short distance to the table and he pulled out my chair for me. I smiled sitting down and he helped me push it in, okay now I've seen the sweet loving side of Derek, but this is a new level. I mean I honestly feel like I'm on my honey moon, my smile grew wider at that thought being married to Derek now that was something I would do any day, after well after let's see, when I first met him.
I looked over at Derek who smiled, "What would you like to drink we have water, milk, tea, coffee, orange juice, apple juice, grape juice, prune juice," I giggled cutting him off, "prune juice?" He smiled blushing, "I wanted to be prepared." I smiled nodding, "I see well orange juice would be lovely."
He smiled nodding and bringing over a pitcher pouring it into my glass. I watched he was concentrating so hard, it was so, well unlike Derek, but then it was Derek, well the Derek deep down. He then smiled walking back over to the cart and bringing over to plates covered up. One had a single, oh my gosh baby blue rose placed on top of it, he set that one down in front of me.
I picked it up admiring it and he sat down across from me I looked up at him smelling it and he grinned, "I wanted it to match your eyes." I smiled, "I wish I could carry it around with me forever, it's beautiful." He shook his head smiling, "No Casey, you're beautiful that rose doesn't even come close." I blushed looking down and then back up at him, "So what's under the plate cover?"
He smiled, "Well breakfast of course, but lift it up to find out for yourself." I smiled looking down at it and closely picking up the holder and removing it carefully only to find, to my surprise all my favorite breakfast foods. There was a small stack of chocolate chip pancakes with whip cream, bacon crispy, and one egg sunny side up. Okay no way was I going to be able to eat all of this, but I think this once I just might try. I looked up, "Derek how did you know these are all my…" He smiled cutting me off, "your favorites I know, you know all those years we lived together I may have paid more attention than you give me credit for Case."
I smiled nodding, "Yeah that's an understatement I seriously will never doubt you again Derek Venturi, and boy do I mean ever." I looked up and he was quirking an eyebrow, "you doubted me, when?" he sounded almost concerned. I giggled, "Calm down it wasn't recently, but in the past I'll admit well…" I trailed off in small giggles and Derek laughed.
I started taking small bites of my breakfast with to my delight it tasted ten times better then it looked and it looked wonderful. Derek after just watching me forever finally started eating too and I could tell he was trying to be a little more civilized than usual. We started playing footsy under the table of course and then he smiled up, "So about last night?"
I smiled taking a sip of my orange juice, "Derek how many times do I have to tell you I will never, ever regret it, okay?" He smiled, "I know, but I just wanted to tell you if you know didn't want to do it anymore till well we're married then, that's okay, with me."
I smiled raising an eyebrow, "when we're married?" He blushed looking down and realizing what he said and then stuttered, "Well I'm not saying I you know… I wasn't trying to…" I reached my hand across the table placing it on his and stopping him, "Derek I wasn't saying no, I was just surprised you said it." He looked up at me smiling and then laughed a bit, "I know me too, but I meant it, I mean I do mean it everything."
I smiled, "I know, and I'm surprised I'm saying this, but I don't have to wait to marry you, I didn't last night and I don't now because the truth is I love you and I always will, and I don't have to wait to be in a long white dress to know that because I already do and that's why last night was the best night of my life." He looked up at me searching my eyes and looking into them lovingly we then both at a lost for words, but in a good way finished up our breakfast and I went to get up, but Derek stopped me.
I smiled, "yes?" He smiled and I sat back down, "There's one more thing." I looked up at him, what else could there be he had already given me everything and more than I ever wanted it was a dream and heaven at the same time. He then reached for his back pocket and pulled out a small jewelry box. I sat there in awe almost thinking he was about to propose, but then mentally laughing at myself hello we're in high school. He then pulled his chair over facing mine and sat down holding the box out to me. I smiled, "Derek what is it?"
He looked up at me, "uh last night I got Ed and Liz to overnight me this to our hotel, I've always had it, but it never held much value or use, until I met you. It's a ring, and my mom gave it to me it was hers and my dad's, she told me to give it to the person who mattered most to me, and that's why I want to give it to you." He then opened the box revealing probably the most beautiful ring I had ever seen in my entire life. It was white gold and had one large, but not too large diamond set in the middle along with two tinier ones on the sides of it. I gasped covering my mouth and then he took my hand slipping it on my finger.
I then shook my head, "Derek I can't take this from you." He looked up at me confused, "what do you mean?" I wiped a tear from my cheek, "Derek I love you, so much, but this ring it obviously means the world to you and…" He cut me off, "Casey you mean the world to me, compared to you this ring means nothing and I want you to have it because it's a promise to show you and everyone else that I want us to always belong to each other."
"Derek if this is about last night I don't want you to feel you have to…" I started, but he shook his head smiling, "Casey this has nothing to do with last night I mean yeah it was the greatest night of my life, but I would have given you this no matter what, so unless you… you don't love me like I love you… or you don't want to be with me then please… please keep the ring."
I looked at him and I then realized his eyes were on the verge of tears I then smiled stroking his cheek with my hand and bringing my face towards mine kissing him passionately. When we pulled apart he smiled, "So you'll keep it." I smiled nodding and letting a tear of joy slip again, "Yes forever."
After sitting their embracing each other for a while Derek turned his chair around facing the ocean and I came and sat in his lap leaning my head against his chest. I then reached up feeling my locket, and then holding out my ring to look at it sparkling in the sunshine. I then smiled giggling, "you know if you give me anymore jewelry our parents might start to suspect something."
He smiled rubbing my shoulder with his hand, "Let them find out, I don't care what they think because they can't stop me from being with you, no one can." I smirked at his response and then snuggled up against him when another thought crossed my mind, "what about people at school?"
There was a silence and I was afraid I had just ruined everything, I mean asking him to risk his rep was a lot and now I had ruined…"what about them?" I lifted my head to check and see if he was serious and he was, he was dead serious. I smiled laying my head back against his chest.
Derek's POV
After just sitting and talking for about an hour on the balcony we finally came inside and Casey kissed me before going into the bathroom to take a shower. I smirked towards the door, I could always join her, but before I could precede the hotel phone rang.
I sighed rolling my eyes and walking over to answer it, "Hello," I said into the phone in a what do you want and why are you keeping me from a hot shower with my hot girlfriend tone of voice.
I heard a angry huff, the only kind that comes from my dad he sighed into the phone, "Derek finally I'm sure Casey told you about last night, but now…" His voice trailed off and I got confused what about last night, Casey didn't say anything that important about when they called. I mean way more important things happened earlier that nigh like…
"Derek! Derek did you hear what I said?" My dad screamed into the phone. I rolled my eyes sitting down, "Of course dad I have been listening the whole time," I smirked lying through my teeth, but hey it was one of my best skills, was it not?
My dad sighed and I could almost see him shaking his head in disappointment, "Okay Derek then what did I just ask you?" Oh shit and I'm caught I started purposely muffling the phone, "I'm sorry kkssshh what kksshh I can't kksshh hear kksshh…" I had to hold in my laughter that was until there was a loud whistle into the phone that really hurt me ears.
"What the hell!" I almost screamed jumping. "Watch your mouth Derek," my dad said angrily, but before I could protest he was yelling at me again, blah, blah, blah, "Now Derek stop trying to lie about listening because I know that your not in fact you never listen to me or anyone else for that matter except yourself, that is why I'm calling. Because you clearly didn't listen to the rules when you and Casey stayed out last night way past curfew which we found out about because you didn't answer your phone now Casey got it from Nora, but let's face it we know who really kept you two out last night, no don't we?"
I smirked really dad I'm pretty sure that both of us kept each other out having hot sex on the beach, but what the heck I'll play along. I sighed rolling my eyes, "Yeah dad I know I disappointed you again, blah, blah… but seriously I was only trying to help Casey experience spring break for real, now can you really punish us for that?" I heard my dad make that grunting noise which meant yes Derek I can, in fact I'll ground you and Casey, I then grinned actually being left at home with the family out with Casey doesn't sound to bad let the grounding begin.
My dad sighed, "Look Derek the point is you and to Nora and I surprise Casey didn't follow the rules may it have been fun or not, which don't even want to think about what you mean by fun, but when you get home there will be punishment and…"
I rolled my eyes cutting him off, "okay dad I get when we get home we're grounded can I go take a shower now?" go take a shower with your hot step daughter that is.
My dad sighed, "Fine Derek don't finish hearing what I have to say, but then be prepared when you get home for me and Nora." I rolled my eyes, ooh I'm so scared, not. "Yeah I know dad, bye," I then hung up the phone not giving him a chance to preoccupy me again. I then smirked clapping and rubbing my hands together standing up and heading towards the bathroom.
I was just about to open the door when it was opened by a wet Casey in a towel, thanks a lot dad. She smiled up at me blushing, "Sorry I took so long I uh thought you might sneak in, but it's all yours now." I crossed my arms leaning against the bathroom doorframe, "Yeah I was, but my dad called giving me a full blown lecture, which reminds me why didn't you say anything last night when your mom called?"
She smiled brushing her wet hair, "Oh didn't want to ruin the moment and plus you didn't look all that interested when the phone rang to begin with, so…" she smiled trialing off. She then rested her hand on my shoulder, "anyways though the shower is all yours…"
I smiled placing my hands on her waist pulling her closer to me and attempting a very seductive smile, "Does Casey want to join Derek?" She laughed, "Does Derek like talking about him self in third person?"
I smirked, "Maybe is that a yes?" She laughed, "Derek come on I already took like practically hour long shower." I flashed her puppy dog eyes, "Yeah, but how could you get the full experience when yours truly wasn't there, come on Casey don't make me kidnap you…" I said in the most persuasive tone. Casey smiled rolling her eyes and trying to walk past me, but I moved in front of her so she went the other way, but I stopped her again, we repeated this little dance till she sighed stopping and crossing her arms, "Derek come on this is silly both of us need to get ready, after all we won't be in Miami much longer." I smiled setting my hands on her shoulder and leaning in, "I know and we will after we take a shower," then before she could protest I lightly lifted her off the ground, reached in turning on the shower and setting her in it. I then eagerly removed my own clothes slipping in and wrapping my arms around her from behind.
"See Casey now please just try telling me this wasn't yet another one of my fantastic ideas," I grinned just a hint of cockiness in my voice, hey I'm Derek Venturi give me a break. Casey smiled turning around and placing both hands on my bare wet chest she then nodded, "yeah I just think we should try to tone it down a bit…"
Okay now I'm confused, "what do you mean tone it down a bit, what is there to tone down?" She smiled looking down, "well you know I mean you can't honestly think that when we get back home we can parading around with tons of pda in our own home, do you?"
I lifted her head so she could look at me, "I don't see why not?" She looked at me then like what I said had just appalled her, "Derek please tell me you don't actually believe that when are parents find out about this they'll just accept it, do you?"
I looked into her eyes wondering what had suddenly brought this on and then she sighed removing her hands from my chest and turning around running the water through her hair, I sighed, "Casey I'm not saying we right out tell them hey mom dad guess what we're together and we had sex so uh yeah see you later we're off to school now," I said in a sarcastic voice then getting serious again, "all I'm saying is they will find out eventually, you do know that don't you? I mean this morning you were talking about marriage which I think would involve eventually telling them about it wouldn't you?"
She turned around and even from the wet shower I could tell she had let a few tears slips she then ran her fingers through her wet hair, "I know, I know it's just, never mind okay I'm sorry I brought it up." Oh no way are you walking away that easy Casey I grabbed her wet shoulders now concerned, "Casey what is wrong what brought this one?"
She started to tear up so much I could still tell even with water from the shower still falling down on us. She looked at me in a pleading way shaking her head, "Don't you get it, don't you understand?"
Okay I have been confused by girls before, but this was a new level I shook my head, "No I don't, understand what Casey please just let me know."
She started to raise her voice a bit, "Okay look Derek I know that you love me, but that, that scares me!" I sighed flinging of the water and pulling her out of the shower wrapping a towel around her and then one around my own waist since the water was getting cold. I then pulled her to the bed and sat down looking at her, "Casey how can I loving you scare you, I mean would you rather I stop loving you because FYI that's fucking impossible!"
When I looked back at Casey I felt awful about yelling, but it was an accident and I was so confused. She was looking down trying to wipe away tears, I sighed scooting over and wrapping my arms around her bringing her closer and rubbing my hands on her head trying to calm her. I then sighed making sure my voice wouldn't take on a mind of it's own again, "Casey I'm sorry for yelling okay it's just well after this morning and everything I thought… I just don't understand where this is coming from I mean why are you scared that I love you and you love me?"
She was silent for a few moments and then she looked up at me more water filling her sad looking eyes, "Because everyone I love leaves." I looked at her unsure of what to say and then she stood up crying a lot now, "First my dad Derek okay I loved him and he left me, he didn't want me. And then I think I'm going to be okay with just my mom and Lizzie and my mom finds George which means she doesn't need me anymore either, and then Sam the one person I could ever open up to and I love him and he dies! And now you come along and I can't loose anyone else that's why…"
I knew what was coming next I could tell from her eyes. I had never thought about Casey feeling that way, but it made since. She had never been close with her dad after he left them well he had never been close to her. Then my family comes along and steals her mom away and then Sam, Sam dies. And now she was going to tell me that she couldn't do this, she couldn't love me. I shook my head stopping her and standing up, I wasn't going to let the words even escape her mouth.
I held her closely, "Casey I'm not going anywhere I promise, but I won't let you go and I won't stop loving you ever, and I won't let you tell me that we can't be together because we have to be together okay remember this," I said holding up her hand and showing her the ring, "and remember this," I then placed that same hand on her locket and then I placed her hand on my heart, "and this." Her crying slowly came to a halt as she stared at her hand, she finally looked up at me and then she said very quietly it was almost mute, "don't leave me please; I can't take another person leaving me."
I looked down at her wiping away the remaining tears on her cheeks I then leaned down kissing her passionately I then pulled apart locking her eyes with mine, "I won't." After that we lied down and I held her, we held each other in silence. I had never seen Casey like that, so scared, well except when Sam died, but that was different. The girl I saw today I had never seen before and I never wanted to see her again. I never thought telling her how much I loved her would scare her so much, because the last thing I wanted was her to be scared, ever again.
Casey's POV
I woke-up in Derek's arms, noticing he was still asleep, I looked over at the clock it was one in the afternoon. We must have fallen asleep after, well after I told Derek everything I had never told anyone else, not even Sam. I didn't want to do that to him after what he had done this morning for me, but I just, it scared me. Plus he had opened up to me about so much and I never can for him, it's so hard I just… ugh I don't know. Maybe it's just the fact we're going home tomorrow night and I'm worried about that, well at least that's part of it. I then realized we were sort of naked, well I mean we were in towels, but not so much anymore. I giggled and gently slipping out of Derek's arms walking over to my suitcase and slipping some jean shorts and two layered tank tops on. I only added mascara and eyeliner on then decided if I should wake-up Derek or not, but then my phone started vibrating on the nightstand.
I quickly grabbed it flipping it open and walking into the bathroom so I wouldn't wake-up Derek, "hello?" I asked not checking to see what the caller ID said. I soon heard a voice that I didn't mind hearing at all, "Casey, oh my gosh what are you and Derek doing I've called like a hundred times!" I laughed as Hallie sounded so excited.
I then heard Caleb call from the background, "she's not kidding she even made me, Skylar, and Reed call to!" I then heard Hallie, "Did she ask you, sorry Casey please ignore them anyways so are you guys doing anything?"
"No not really well I do have to tell you about something Derek did this morning," I smiled thinking back to the balcony. Hallie giggled, "If your talking about the message in the sand and the balcony then maybe I might have been in on that too." I started to laugh of course she was, "well then you must know how much more I am in love with him, if that's even possible."
Hallie giggled, "Yeah well you should because," she raised her voice probably to make sure Caleb could hear, "A girl is lucky to have a guy like Derek…" I heard Caleb scoff, "yeah, yeah I know one of these days I'll right your name in the sky Hallie okay?" I giggled and Hallie spoke back into the phone, "Okay so I know you guys are leaving tomorrow night which I'm really sad about by the way so since your not doing anything then why don't you meet us down at the pool?" I smiled, "Yeah sounds good I'm just going to wait till Derek wakes up."
"He's still asleep, wait did you guys, you know this morning?" she asked suddenly curious and I had to hold my laughter. I then smiled, "all I'm saying is not this morning, goodbye Hallie…" I then smiled hanging up the phone and opening the bathroom door.
When I walked out I started to laugh finding a very confused and completely naked Derek standing up looking around. I picket up a pillow throwing it at him and looking away, "Derek your naked, cover it up."
He covered up his well private part and I looked back he then still looked out of it, "Sorry um I didn't really notice." I covered my mouth to withhold my giggles, "Um sweetie being butt naked is something you kind of notice now please put some clothes on."
He smiled a goofy smile over towards me and I sighed giggling, "okay you know what just sit down and I'll get your clothes for you, all you need is a tee shirt and a bathing suit trunks anyway." I then shook my head walking over and grabbing them out of his suit case tossing them at him.
When he was done getting dressed I smiled walking over to him, "um so are you okay?" He smiled nodding, "couldn't be better." I laughed, "are you sure?" He smiled, "yeah sorry I just am a little lost sometimes when I first wake-up."
I nodded, "Uh Derek I think being completely naked and not realizing it is a tad more than a little lost." He smiled, "Okay a lot lost, but I'm fine so now why do I need my bathing suit?"
I smiled, "We're going to the pool to hang out with Hallie and everyone, is that okay?" He smiled, "as long as I'm with you then yes, and I owe Hallie for helping me out this morning anyways." I smiled, "I heard."
We then walked down to the pool where everyone already was. Reed Caleb and Skylar were by the looks of it trying to see who could make the biggest splash, while Hallie was hanging out in the shallow end on the steps. Derek smiled pulling of his shirt and I laughed, "go ahead, go hang with the boys," he smiled nodding and running over to them instantly canon balling in with a big splash.
I laughed striping to my suit and walking over to sit next to Hallie halfway in the water on the steps. "Hey how's the water?" I asked sticking in only my feet. She smiled, "perfect, wait Casey don't you want to take off your jewelry?"
I smiled, "Oh yeah do you think it's okay to set it here?" She smiled, "Yah as long as we sit here by it, oh, but put the ring on the chain of your necklace. I smiled doing so after a few minutes I craved something to drink I looked at her, "hey can you sit here while I go get a drink?" She nodded, "your bling is safe with me, oh get me a strawberry decry," I smiled walking off to the tiki bar and calling to her, "will do."
When I got back I noticed her looking inside of my locket, I set the drink down next to her, "here you go." Her eyes didn't come up she then looked up at me, "Casey who's the boy in the picture not the one of you and Derek, the other one." I smiled as she handed it to me, "his name was Sam."
She gave it back to me looking curious, "and Sam is your ex boyfriend or?" I smiled it was the first time I actually had to explain to someone who Sam was instead of that I missed him since he died and somehow I found myself smiling when answering, "He was Derek's best friend and my boyfriend, but he uh died."
Hallie looked at me, "Oh my god Casey I'm so sorry we don't have to talk about it, okay." I shook my head, "No I want to, you see what happened was that him and Derek used to play hockey together and I was so in love with Sam. He meant the world to both of us, but then at a hockey practice one day he just fell down and never got back up."
Hallie looked at me and I almost thought I saw tears in her own eyes, "what was wrong with him?" I sighed, "it wasn't him it was his heart, he um… had a heart murmur he didn't know about, you know a lot of athletes have them, but he didn't know and when he found out it was… well too late, I got to say goodbye and then he died, well not there on the ice, but in the ambulance."
I wiped away a small tear and I looked over at Hallie, "Casey I didn't know I wouldn't have looked in the locket if I had." I smiled, "No I'm glad you did Hallie because see you've become one of my best friends and I think it was good you found out this way."
She then smiled hugging me, "Casey, um were you and Derek well close before you know?" I smiled, "um yeah there's something I need to tell you about that too." She quirked an eyebrow, "like?" I smiled, "Okay you might think this is wrong after I tell you, but Derek and I are… we are… what I'm trying to say is that Derek and I aren't only together, but we also are step siblings, since about a year and a half ago."
Hallie smiled, "Why would that be wrong?" I looked at her, okay that was a reaction I didn't think would happen I expected a ew! I then smiled, "I guess it's not." She smiled nodding and taking a sip of her drink, "exactly so how about a cheers to the truth," she smiled holding up her drink. I smiled clanking my cup with hers, "yeah I seem to be doing a lot of that lately." She smiled giggling and then we turned back to the boys who were now playing king of the hill. Basically a game where you wrestle each other until one of you ends up being thrown into the pool and the final one still standing is the king of the hill or in this case pool.
I put my necklace with my ring back on my neck as Hallie grabbed my arm, "come on it's time this pool had some queens," I laughed as we walked over to the boys, "couldn't agree more queen Hallie." She laughed, "then let's show these boys how it's done queen Casey." I laughed and we walked over to the boys who all stopped wresting and turned to us as Hallie and I both smiled placing are hands on our hips.
Skylar laughed, "Please tell me you girly girls aren't here to wrestle us guys?" Hallie and I both rolled are eyes and then I smirked, "Just for that Skylar you're first." He smiled as all the other guys stood back, "bring it on."
Hallie then smiled stopping me, "Hold it Casey, I got this, because this is something I haven wanted to do a long time." I laughed as she walked over and they each got ready. Skylar smirked, "Don't worry Caleb I'll go easy on your girlfriend." Hallie smiled, "Don't worry Reed I promise I won't kill him." I then smiled, "okay get set, ready fight!"
It was all over so fast Skylar reached to grab Hallie by her legs and she jumped lightly reaching her foot up and giving him one powerful blow into the pool. I giggled as Skylar looked shocked, while the guys broke out in laughter. Hallie then smirked crossing her arms and looking down at Skylar in the pool, "Don't worry Sky next time I'll go easier on you, but for now, I believe you lose!" She then smiled walking over and slapping my hand, "your up Casey, choose your victim."
I stood there looking at all the boys who tried to look intimidating I then smiled, "Okay if you promise me I can save Derek for later then I choose, Reed," I smiled as Reed walked over. I laughed as Derek pretended to be hurt, "Gee thanks Casey picking Blondie over your own boyfriend."
I laughed, "I'm saving the best for last," he then smiled shutting up. Me and Reed then set up Reed smiled at me his blonde hair falling in his face, "Well look's like it is your final test young Casey can the student surpass the teacher." I laughed rolling my eyes, "When you were younger you were a star wars nerd weren't you." He smirked, "I prefer star wars master." I nodded, "yeah okay just get ready to be thrown into the pool."
Hallie then smiled, "Okay get set, fight!" Okay Reed was a little tougher then Skylar he grabbed me by my waist and I had to pull with all my strength the be kept from being thrown in the pool. I then smirked remember a little bit of something Reed himself taught me. I locked him into instant headlock and I heard no's from the guys and yes from Hallie. I then laughed releasing him as he was on the edge of the pool swaying backwards. I smiled walking towards him and then, "bye, bye," I pushed lightly on his chest and he splashed into the pool. Hallie then jumped, "Yes that's girls two and oh yeah guy's what was it… Zero!" I laughed and Caleb smirked grabbing Hallie, "hey it's not over yet and I will so own you cuddle muffin." I smiled aw he called her cuddle muffin meanwhile all the guys were pretending to gag. Hallie smirked, "bring it on my little Caleb Waleb," Caleb blushed as the guys now broke into hysterical laughter he then smiled at Hallie, "Sweetie I told you not in front of the guys."
Hallie laughed and then as soon as I said go Caleb grabbed her waist and sneaky Hallie squealed, "Ow, ow, ow, Caleb." He looked alarmed instantly stopping and removing his hands, "Hallie, are you okay I'm sorry what can I do?"
Hallie kept it up at first putting her hands on his chest, "just try and…" she smiled pushing him backwards to the water, "not getting too much water on me!"
Caleb looked shocked and Reed and Skylar instantly splashed him complaining of how much of a sucker he was. I just laughed as Hallie smiled turning around and jumping into Caleb's arms in the pool while shouting, "Casey it's up to you!"
I smiled laughing and then seeing a smirking Derek coming to meet me by the edge of the pool. I smiled as we got ready he then smirked, "So what happens if we go down together?" I smiled, "Won't happen however if you forfeit then something else might happen that would make it worth your while." He raised his eyebrows and I nodded giggling then as Sklyar said go he stood up, "Sorry dudes, but I forfeit girls win!" he then canon balled into the pool and I jumped to victory Hallie climbed out and we did a little victory dance. Meanwhile Caleb and Derek were getting splashed and booed on for being soft on their girlfriends. I smiled down at Derek and he smiled back up at me well before Skylar came up behind him and dunked him under, which I couldn't help, but laugh at.
