So for some unknown reason, I'm going to write another LWD story!!! Yay!!!

I hope that no one else has done this idea…cause this is it!! Oh, and just to let you know, Sally and Casey have never officially met in this story.

SUMMARY:

Derek hires Casey back at Smelly Nelly's, and basically, it is Life with Derek...at Work. Casey sees and hears everything that goes on in Smelly Nelly's with Sally and Derek...and for some unknown reason, she gets jealous. And Sally sees something that the two step-sibs will never admit: love. So basically, she has to find someway to make the two admit their feelings.

Disclaimer: I don't own LWD. I never will. Period.

OH!!! AND AND AND! SALLY DOESN'T TECHNICALLY KNOW THAT DERKE AND CASEY ARE STEP-SIBS!!! (So Derek Un-Done never happened)

ENJOY!!

Casey McDonald stared down at the brown t-shirt and then up at her step brothers face. "Really? I get my job back?"

"Yeah." Derek shrugged and he put his hands in his pockets.
"Aw, thank you, Derek! You're the sweetest step-brother I've ever had!!" She put her arms out to hug him, but he just smirked and cleared his throat.

"Yeah…well…I'm not really enjoying the fact that I'm gonna be working with you again."

"Oh, come on, Der. You have Sally there…you won't even know I'm there." She rolled her eyes when she said the name 'Sally'.

Derek smirked at her. "Jealous much?"

"What? I am not jealous." She said, placing her hands on her hips. "You're just a disgusting pig. Now move, and let me take a shower."

"Fine." He rolled his eyes and casually left his place in front of the bathroom door.

He sat down at his computer and started looking at a new car to buy.

Hmmm…Since Case is determined to drive 'The Prince' then I'll just buy myself a new car…they can't cost that much…

"Yo big bro, whats goin down my sizzle??" His brother, Edwin said as Derek watched his brother walk into his room, trying to act cool.

Derek rolled his eyes at Ed's choice of clothes. He was wearing a big, baggy black shirt that said 'Let me see yo grill' written in gold letters, and jeans that were down to his ankles. He wore his baseball cap backwards, and he was wearing a couple of necklaces with big charms at the end. "Edwin." He said in an annoyed tone, his eyes closed. "Haven't I taught you anything about being cool?"

"Hey, I'm trying my ganster look. You like it?"

Derek smiled and then let it fall. "No." He turned back to his computer.

"Hey…uh…saw you…talking to Casey. What was that all about?"

"I gave her her job back." He said, refusing to look at him.

"What?!?!"

Derek turned and looked at his brother. "What? I figured that it would be the nice thing to do."

"Nice??? Casey??" Edwin stood up. "WHO ARE YOU??"

"Ed. Relax. Like she said, I'm gonna be so caught up in looking at Sally that I won't even know she's there. And besides, that means that I won't have to do so much work….and that means more face time with Sally." He smirked at his brother.

"Ahh…I see how it works." Edwin patted him on the shoulder. "Nice plan, bro."

"Thanks. Now go." Edwin slumped his shoulders and then left the room.

"Hey, Derek." He heard a girl say, and he glanced over the top of his computer to see Casey walking past his room.

"Hey…" Derek said, and then he went to go and take a shower.

The Next Day…

"Case! Are you ready yet???"

"Hold ON!"

"I've been waiting for 20 minutes, Casey! Hurry up!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" She moaned, and then she started down the stairs.

"Gosh, Case…takes you 20 minutes to put on jeans and a t-shirt?"

"I have to do makeup and hair…duh Derek."

They started out the door, "Casey, you look beautiful even without the makeup." He said without thinking, and they both stopped. Casey looked at him with wide eyes.

"What?"

"I said…you really need to put on some more…to hide that horrible skin of yours…" She pushed his hand away, which was trying to pinch her cheeks.

"Sure…" She said, and then got into the car. "Derek. You need to clean out this pig pen."

"Hey! You say one thing about this car, and I'm going to not only stop giving you rides, but I'm gonna fire you."

"I love your car." She said in a sarcastic tone, batting her eyelashes at him.

"Mmhmmm…"

"I must admit, Derek. I'm a little scared."
"You're gonna do fine. I mean, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Nothing…right?"

"Of course." Derek said.

"You're actually being supportive! What's gotten into you, Mr. Venturi?"

"Shut up." He muttered under his breath as they drove into the parking lot.

"What's up, Sally?" Derek asked as he entered the restaurant and threw his coat on the coat rack.

"Hey, Derek." She said, glancing up from the cash register.

"Got a new waitress." Derek said, pointing to Casey.

Sally turned around and smiled at his step-sister. "Hi, I'm Sally."

"Casey." She smiled back at her. "So, you're the new waitress? Good. Cause all we have here is Mr. Flirt." Casey laughed.

"I know, right?" Derek rolled his eyes as he finished tying his apron. He grabbed a notebook off of the counter and started towards a table, first bumping his shoulder into Casey. She scoffed, rolled her eyes, and crossed her arms as she watched Derek walk towards a table that consisted of a little boy, a mom, and a dad.

She turned to Sally, who was smiling like a maniac, and she glared at her. Her smile faded, and she handed Casey a notebook. "Here. Go to table 4, no one has served them yet." She said, and Casey nodded, walking away while glaring at Derek on the way. He smirked at her and Sally shook her head as she looked down at the finance charts.

This job just got a whole lot interesting…

So how was the first chapter? I know I sort of rushed it…but it's okay, right? Please review! And no flames!!!

Excerpt from Chapter 2:

"So…" Sally broke the awkward silence between them at their lunch break. "How long did you two date?"

Casey and Derek both choked on their food and stared at her.

"What?"
