If I had you
Derek laid in bed after another fight with Casey, she was really mad at him this time. She wouldn't talk to him, so he texted her " I fucked up" he sent it and waited for her response. Minutes passed and still no word from Casey, if it was any other girl they would be waiting for a call or text from him! Come on! Case! He said to himself. Derek got tired of waiting and he drifted off to sleep.
"Derek! Derek!" He heard his dad call
What could his dad possibly want, he just closed his eyes and now he wants something? Derek thought to himself as he sat up in bed.
" you know the rules! I'm trying to get some shut eye! Derek shouted trying to go back to sleep.
" you haven't slept in, in years" George stated
What? Derek thought to himself, he just told him that in the morning
" come on, get up and go to school! Now!" George shouted
Derek turned over to look at his alarm clock, it said 6:30. What the fuck, dad! There was no way that he was going to school this early. He laid back in bed.
George shouted again and woke Derek up. Derek realized that his dad wasn't going to let him rest, Nora probably gave him a lecture because Casey was always up and about around this time. Derek rolled out of bed and pulled his room door open and barged into the bathroom. He took a hot shower, brushed his teeth and got dressed.
" where's casey, Lizzie and Nora." Derek asked Edwin when he approached the table
"who?" Edwin said
" very funny." Derek said
" I know your girlfriend but you never talk about Lizzie or Nora." Edwin said
"Excuse Me what did you say? Casey is not my girlfriend!" Derek said
" yes she is! She's all you talk about. Casey is so hot! Casey is so smart, Casey is so funny, casey is the total package! It makes me wanna vomit. Edwin says
" your gonna make me vomit, telling me that I called Casey hot. Derek said rolling his eyes
" you told me she was a great kisser too, when I caught you guys making out on the couch. Edwin said
" eww. " Derek yelled
" what's with all the eww" George says as he guides Marti to her table. Marti rubs her eyes and yawns as she sits at her table.
"we were just talking about Casey." Edwin says as he smiles
" who's casey again?" George questions
" its smerks girlfriend, Casey. I like Casey she's so nice to me, for my birthday she took me to the build a bear workshop and bought me a ballerina teddy we went to kids fun world after. She always takes me out on my birthday." Marti smiles as she says it.
"oh right! I'm sorry son I've just been so overwhelmed by work, Casey is a great girl. The only one I've seen come through here and whose stayed here for three years. George says
" we understand dad." Edwin says
Derek was still trying to grasp what was going on, he woke up and his dad wasn't married to Nora and casey was his girlfriend, for three years! Derek thought to himself.
Derek ate his breakfast and got ready for school, he enters the halls and they all looked the same. He wasn't in bizzaro world, there were no flying monkeys, aliens, wizards or a mystery spot-esque theme going on. So what the he'll was going on, Derek thought to himself, trying not to freak out. Ralph and Sam walked up to him.
" hey man, great session yesterday. " Ralph said
" we are starting to sound like an actual rock band, we might get signed." Sam stated
That's when casey walked up and Derek rolled his eyes, it was instinct
" I agree! Your songs are amazing! Casey says excited
" thanks to you, your song writing is unbelievable. Sam says smiling at casey
" well, I had my muse." Casey smiles as she gives Derek a peck on the lips.
That kiss came out of nowhere, so that's why he was unable to stop it. Why didn't his hand respond? Why didn't he put up a fight that felt...natural. She handed him his coffee and he drank it, just the way he liked it. Casey looked at Sam and Ralph and they walked away, Casey dragged Derek outside to talk.
" so, its someone's birthday! " casey started to say
" Ugh! Please tell me your not planning my birthday?" Derek groans
Casey's face falls " is something wrong?" Casey ask concerned she puts her arm on his shoulder and gets close.
" nothing is wrong, this just feels weird. Derek says
" something must be wrong, you never talk to me like this. Casey says
" I- I don't think I can do this Derek says with regret
" do what, I'm just trying to give you your present." Casey says with tears in your eyes.
" I don't know what's wrong with you, I wish you would just talk to me. I hate when you bottle up your feelings, you know you can talk to me." Casey says
" I think we should break up!" Derek says not looking into her eyes
" what! Why? What did I do? Casey says
" nothing! Its just what I want." Derek shouts
" ok, " casey cries " if that's what you want". She says, she opens her backpack " I still want you to have this." Casey pull out a flat white box and an envelope.
Derek opens it and its a signed Jersey of his favorite team and player and tickets to his favorite team game.
" why would you get this, after what I did." Derek ask in shock
" because I love you, you idiot! That's never going to change, even if we break up." Casey says wiping away a tear and sniffling
Derek starts to feel really bad now, she leans in to kiss him goodbye and he lets it happen. He told himself that he was doing it for her, that he was trying to make her happy. He raised up a hand to cup her face as he deepened the kiss, he moaned as she slid her tongue into his and their tongues intertwined. What he told Edwin was an understatement, she was an amazing kisser. Before he knew it she was pulling away and apologized, why was she apologizing.
" ummm...when your ready to talk about this, only as friends...I will be here. I Don't know if your upset about your dad's divorce, or the fact that he barely has time for anymore, or did he forget your birthday again or maybe its a combination of everything... Whatever it is, I will be here." Casey smiles before walking away and Derek chases after her, stops her and spends her around and kisses her. Casey giggles and kisses him, in between kisses she ask.
" what are you doing." She asked confused
" I don't wanna break up, I'm an idiot. Derek says in between kisses
" well, I know that but do you mean it." Casey says
" yeah, I'm an idiot" Derek says as he closes his eyes and deepens the kiss. He didn't care how he looked, this was long awaited and it felt so good.
" no, not that... Do you really not wanna break up." Casey ask
" of course not, I was just upset." Derek said casey Deepens the kiss with tongue this time and they moan at the impact of their tongues intertwining. He couldn't believe how great it was.
" so, do you wanna tell me what happened or." Casey questions.
" everything you said." Derek said sadly
" well, then I have to try even harder to distract you." Casey says seductively
" what were you planning on doing?" Derek questions with a raised eyebrow
" well, this was part of it...the jersey and tickets, more kissing and other stuff and its a surprise. " casey says seductively
"well, I would rather just spend all day with you but I'll agree to your terms.' Derek says
" to be fair, I will be spending all day with you...and night Casey says and Derek raises an eyebrow
" I would love to hear more about that part." Derek says
" you can hear more tonight." Casey says
" well I need something to help me get by until then, we can start with" he leans into her lips " this" he finishes saying as his mouth meets hers. They start making out and Derek can't help but melt into her kisses, her lips were so soft. He could get lost in her lips forever, he could do this all day if she allowed him to. He always dreamed of this happening, he always thought of this but now it was actually happening.
The bell rung and she pulled away
" what are you doing?" Derek whined
" we have class." Casey giggled
" screw class" Derek shouted
" we will continue this after class." Casey giggles
" that's too long" Derek whined
" you always say that" Casey states
" that's because its true." Derek says
Casey rolls her eyes and guides Derek to their class. When casey enters class with Derek in hand, the teacher shouts something about Him and Casey being his favorite straight A student. The teacher handed him his report card with perfect attendance and straight A's.
Derek felt like he had everything he wanted, well everything he needed in this world.
Derek had a great birthday, he went to a great game, wore a jersey, he even got to meet his favorite hockey star. Then he had a surprise celebration with his friends and then he had a second one with his family. That was great but the best part was yet to come, they were in Casey's room and her family were gone. They were making out, Casey pulled his jacket and shirt off and then Derek slowly unbuttoned her shirt. Derek wanted to enjoy the moment, He wanted to savor every second of this, he finally reached the last button and just as he opened her shirt, he woke up. Shit!
He woke up in bed with a hard on, fuck! He heard casey behind the door shout his name as she knocked. He fell out of bed and cover himself up, he pulled more blanket on his private so she wouldn't see. It was pointless because she covered her eyes, oh my god! Why was she doing this to him, she was in her PJ's with a smile on her face. She left a flat white box and an envelope on his dresser. Derek walked to the box and opened it, it was a signed Jersey and ten tickets to see the game.
" how did you get this." Derek said touched, luckily she had her eyes closed and couldn't see.
" my dad owed me a favor for missing his month with us, he asked me what I wanted and I said this." Casey said
Derek was even more touched by her statement, she opened her eyes.
'oh! Your dressed! Why didn't you tell me!?
" because I was enjoying not seeing your face. Derek says chuckling
Casey just smiles
" why did you get this." Derek asked
" because I knew you would like it." Casey said with a smile on her face.
" but" Derek questions
" Your welcome, have a great birthday loser." She giggles after she said it and walks back to her room.
Derek knew what she was trying to say, he knew how good it was to have her in his arms and by his side. He knew his life would be better with her in it
Casey pops back into his room
"anything else I can do to make your birthday better.' Casey says smiling
" my life would be better, If I had you."
