A/n: I re-watch LWD after so many years. And I fell in love with Dasey all over again. I remembered the fanfiction I abandoned because my busy college life, so I decided to finish it. I apologize for not giving closure (to myself and some of the readers). So here goes.

Chapter 6: It's time to part

Being stormed with gentle and loving words was not bad at all. Casey smiled as she looked at the man driving beside her. Although his left hand was holding the steering wheels, the other didn't stop holding hers. Without loosing attention to the road, he would occasionally pulled her hand in front of his face and kissed it. Casey knew her current self has fallen in love with this guy.

She was waiting for the right time to tell Derek about her condition; about her loosing their memories together. But every time she opened her mouth, the words didn't come out. What should she say? Nothing happened to her, really. It had been days, she had gone with him to their anniversary together, spent so much time together, slept together. How could she brought up now that she actually only have her memory up till 2009 and that she had to put up with an act of being his girlfriend? It was her fault for not telling Derek from the start, she knew.

She had dug up a hole too deep to climb, and something had to be done. Her head started to ache. But she couldn't just bring up the conversation in the middle of the dinner. "Hey Derek, the last thing I remember I was actually still your stepsister you know"—ha! She couldn't even imagine how Derek would react to that. She sighed and closed her eyes for what she thought is the umpteenth time that night, not satisfied with the lack of solution her brain was giving her.

But still she had to try.

"D,"

"Mm?" Derek looked at her, still with a smile on his face. Not the smirk he usually gave her.

"I want to tell you something…" She stated, "Just know that I…love you."

"Case, you're making me worry." She heard the concern in Derek's voice. They reached the parking garage and he killed the car's engine. He almost instantaneously turned his head to look at her.

"I…" Casey could feel her beating heart, banging to her ribcage. She could honestly swear that Derek heard it.

"No. I just want to tell you how perfect this date was." Yes. She was a coward. "It's almost as if I can see us being together forever."

Derek chuckled. "Oh I'm insulted, princess. You're saying you didn't feel that way all this time? Or should I take it as a proposal?" He squinted his eyes and smirked.

Casey laughed nervously, "Of course not! I want a perfect proposal, with my prince on his knees, and a ring!" She stated, regaining her playful self. She knew this was all so messed up. Why can't she just tell him the truth!? She was mad at herself.

"I actually got something for you." Derek said to her, while bending down tot he side of his car. In his hand he held a baby blue box, and gave it to her. She opened the box and saw a heart-shaped pendant attached to a gold chain.

She didn't even know what to say.

"It's not a ring" he kept his eyes locked at her, "but do you like it?"

"I love it!" Her eyes were gleaming. She turned around and pulled her hair up. "Do you mind?" He grabbed the necklace and placed it in her neck. He kissed her the back of he neck before he let go.

"Okay, don't move. Stay where you are" Derek said as he got out of his card. He then opened the passenger seat and put one of his arms around her waist and the other behind her back. He lifted her up, careful enough to shield her from hitting the car frame. "If you want me to treat you like a Princess, then there is no way I'm letting you walk upstairs." He carried her to the elevator, and all the way to their apartment door. She opened her purse and grabbed the key with one hand, and unlocked the door for them. Derek brought them inside and kicked the door closed with his foot.

It was dark and she can feel his breath on her face. She blushed, not sure how many times she did that day. One of her hand was holding tight to his back, and the other just wonder to his face. She instinctively moved her face closer to his, and pressed their lips together lightly. She wanted to be his girlfriend. She wanted to caress him. She wants him.

He sat her in their bed, not letting go of her lips. He held his balance using both of his hands.

Casey clearly didn't hate the sensation. "I—think we should—change" She managed to say in between their kisses. It was bad. She actually liked biting on his lips.

"I don't think we need to." He said as he moved from her mouth to her cheek, then to her jaw line, and to her nape. He planted trails of soft kisses down to her collarbone. She moaned, and instinctively she covered her mouth with her hands, embarrassed to the sound she just made. She was really starting to lose her mind!

Derek chuckled. "I know my kisses are very seductive Case, but it's not like it's the first time I hear you moan." One of his hands went up to her wrist and moved it above her head, unrevealing her gaping mouth once more. "Just let it go."

"But you said you wont break the promise" She sounded a little bit desperate. It was really hard to resist.

"Yes-yes. No sex. Blah blah."

"De-rek! I'm being serious"

"I know" he rolled his eyes, rather annoyed "I won't break our promise. I'll push you enough to make you wanting more" He then sucked hard on the skin on top of her collarbone. He marked her.

"I'm kidding. You're my princess today, and today's all for you. I'll make you feel real good"

Casey had some make-out sessions with most of her boyfriend leading up to college, but it never felt like this. She wasn't even sure what Derek was doing anymore, but she enjoyed every kiss and every touch he made.

"Do you trust me?" She heard him say. She gave him a little nod. He started to turn her around and unzip her dress slowly, taking time to kiss her back while he was at it. She let out more moans.

"I know this is one of your sensitive spots." He said, almost too confidently. Casey didn't realize Derek hands and lips can do so much magic toward her. The night continued, and Derek kept his promise.

They both sled underneath their blanket. She was half asleep when she heard Derek walked to the bathroom. She admitted that this was the best day she had ever has, and dozed off.

Ooooo

The next morning, Casey hand stretched outward, wanting to hug the person who made her day just a couple of hours ago. To her surprise, her reached into nothingness.

"Der-" She opened her eyes and stopped her words. She squinted her eyes together and looked around her.

It was her old dorm room. Back 2009.

"No…" She said almost in disbelief of the loss she was feeling. "That can't be a dream." She cannot help but to shed tears, her muffled voice finding its way through the air. It was just too real and too long to be a dream.

She kept crying until she noticed something in her neck. It was the heart shaped necklace the "old" Derek gave her. She was bewildered, confused, and very—speechless.

One thing for sure is that she knew. She knew that she has feelings for Derek, and him her. That wouldn't change. Not in the future, not in the past, and not in the present.

"A truth or dare game, huh?" She said to herself, plotting a plan in her mind. "Let's see if you fall for it Venturi."

The end.

A/n: One more for the epilogue. It was so tempting to just make this an M rated. But I stopped myself (thank God for my self-restrain). I apologize for those who really wants this to be a realistic, non-scifi fic. Thank you for the input, but this is not what I wanted in this story. Do R&R.
