Chapter Nine: The Moment Of Truth

Derek awoke the next morning to find Casey's back up against his bare chest. He smiled as he ran his hand through her hair. He could smell the scent of lavender on her, probably the type of body wash at Fiona's house. There was a small smile on her face as she stirred in her sleep. Derek quickly removed his hand in fear of waking her up. After all it was only six in the morning, and they had to be to school by eight which was two hours away.

"Derek?", Casey asked questionly as she slowly sat up staring into his dark brown, mysterious eyes. They turned her on so much. Everything about Derek turned her on.

"Yea Case.", he smirked as he saw her staring at his chest.

Casey blushed as she moved her eyes back up to his own. "I love you."

"I love you, too Case. Now go get ready for school. I'll go after you. Once Edwin's up he will push through anyone to get to the shower.", Derek smiled. Casey nodded as she slowly crawled out of her bed and over to her closet. She wanted to wear something that made her sexy but didn't show a lot of skin. She finally decided on a white jean skirt stopping right before her knees with a black cami meeting the beginning of the skirt. Casey waved as she walked out of her bedroom and into the house's only restroom.

Derek sighed as he slide out of bed. He was too awake to go back to bed now so he figured he'd make breakfast for his family. Besides he needed to so that he was "sorry" for whatever he did. Derek jogged down the steps and into the kitchen as he flickered on the light. He decided to make waffles. Marti and Casey loved waffles, and he wanted to make the two greatest females in his life happy. Derek pulled out the Hello Kitty waffle maker from the bottom shelf. He placed the frozen waffles into it before closing it and pulling in the cord. (A/N: I never made Waffles so if I'm doing this wrong someone tell me please.) It would be a couple of minutes before they were done, so he walked over to the living room. Derek switched on the television and switched through the channels before leaving it on a hockey game.

Casey walked out of the shower as she wrapped a towel around her body covering herself. She wiped the mirror with her hand to be able to see her reflection in the mirror. She smiled as she removed the towel and slide on her under clothes followed by her skirt and shirt. She had to admit, it was a pretty cute outfit. Reaching into the last jar of the laboratory, she withdrew a blow-dyer and curling iron. She begin her work as she hummed a song to herself.

Derek sat on the couch downstairs as he continued to yawn every second of the day. This was the one hockey game that he had lost interest in. His favorite team was losing by five points. It was obvious on who was winning. Derek looked up at the stairs and then back at the television. He could see a female figure standing at the top of the stairway. He slowly turned his head to see Casey. His jaw dropped as he scanned her body up and down. She had on a white skirt with a black shirt along with a pair of black heels. Her hair was curled making her look fun. To top it off she had a light touch of make-up that made her look even more amazing, if that was possible.

"Case...you...wow...I mean...wow.", Derek stuttered as he continued to scan her. She giggled as she slowly walked down the stairs towards him. God, he was lucky she was his.

"You really like it?", she asked as she spun her body around.

"Like it? I love it.", he replied as he caught Casey in his arms, their faces inches away. Their faces slowly begin to move closer to each other.

"Casey and Smerek are making out! Eww!", a little girl's voice laughed. Derek turned his head to see his Smarti.

"Smarti!", he called as he chased after the young child. She laughed as she ran away from her older brother. Casey laughed as she walked into the kitchen. She could smell something cooking. She spotted the waffles and turned off the machine. She figured that they were done due to the smell.

She took out two plates and placed a waffle on each. She loved waffles. Derek probably had made them for her. He was so sweet. She walked over to the fridge as she pulled out a jar of red jelly and spread it over her waffle. After fixing herself a glass of orange juice she made her way over to the couch, sitting down with the food on her lap.

"Derek.", Casey laughed as she switched the channel from hockey to her favorite television show, Full house. She loved Full house ever since she was a young girl. Every Saturday her father would be off and they'd always watch it together until he divorced her mom. Her parents always would fight. It was so unreal. She knew by the look on her dad's face that it wouldn't last long and she was right. When she was eight he filed for divorce. Casey was deep in thought. So deep she didn't even see Derek sit besides her wearing a brown polo shirt with a white sleeve underneath it with a pair of jeans and his regular boots.

"Case? Are you okay?", he asked in a concerned voice.

Casey shook her head as she turned it to Derek. "Huh? Oh yea...just thinking."

"About what?", Derek called as he walked over to the kitchen grabbing the extra plate with the other waffle on it.

"Things...My past...My dad.", Casey sighed as she chewed her remaining food.

"What about your dad?", Derek asked. Casey wasn't telling him all of the story.

"I just...I miss him.", Casey confessed as she felt a tear escape her eye. The next thing she knew Derek was holding her, rocking her.

"It's going to be okay.", he said in a sincere voice. Casey nodded as she placed her head onto Derek's shoulder. She looked up to see her step father and her mother walking towards the kitchen wearing robes.

"Hey mom. Hey George.", Casey smiled as she walked into the kitchen.

"Hey honey. So new wardrobe?", Nora smiled back as she looked at her daughter's outfit.

"Uhh, yeah. I wanted to look good.", she replied.

"Well you do. Oh boy do you look good.", Derek smirked as he passed by her. He placed his plate into the dishwasher. Casey grinned as she looked at him. He grinned back as he licked his lips.

"Well I'll see you'll later. I think I'm going to leave for school.", Casey waved as she gave her mom a quick hug as well as George.

"Case, wait up!", Derek called as he ran after her being sure to grab his leather jacket.

Casey waited on the sidewalk for Derek. He ran out of the house wearing his leather jacket and his lucky necklace. His two favorite outfit items. He never left anywhere without his jacket or his necklace. At least from what Casey understood. He smiled as he grabbed Casey's hand and begin to walk towards his school.

"So what do you think everyone will say?", Casey asked as she faced Derek.

"To be honest. I don't know, but I'm sure they'll be happy for us.", Derek sighed.

"Well whatever they saw I don't care.", she grinned as she squeezed his hand.

"Same here.", he grinned back. The rest of the way they just talked. About school, their life before they meet each other, music, television, sports, and so on. Casey never knew that Derek liked Full house as well. He said it would ruin his reputation if anyone found out, but he secretly watches it up in his bedroom. Who knew? Casey sighed as they stopped in front of the large brick building. This was it. Now or never.

"Ready?", Derek asked.

"Ready.", Casey answered. He wrapped his arm around Casey's waist as he pushed the doors open. The entire student body stopped and stared. Derek glanced over at Casey who was slightly smiling. He stopped her in her tracks as he looked at everyone and then at Casey before crashing his lips onto hers. She wrapped her hand around his neck as he lifted her off the ground slightly. Derek broke the kiss as he looked at the crying students with grins on their faces.

Derek gulped as he waited for an answer. Soon the entire school was filled with cheers and claps. Derek grinned as he hugged Casey as tight as possible. She walked down the hall with Derek at her side. The cheers rose as they passed each hall. Casey could hear the whispers behind her. Some saying it's about time they got together and others saying they are so cute together. Casey grinned as she pulled Derek in for another kiss. This was perfect. Everyone was happy for them, and they were happy for each other. What else could she ask for?
