Ch.7-

"Baby wake up." Derek was gently nudging a practically sleeping Casey. A couple of days had gone by and it was now Friday. An eager Casey happily woke up once she realized it was her and Derek's six month anniversary. Casey knew Derek better then anyone, so she knew he would have something planned. To many people he didn't seem the type to want to make a big thing over a anniversary, but Casey knew better. For their one month anniversary Derek had gone all out and even taken her to a concert so she knew this had to be great.

"Ok I'm waking up already…" Before Casey could even finish what she was saying Derek was on top of her and had his lips against hers. Derek's kisses had so much passion in them that Casey was pulling his hair to stop herself from screaming. Derek started to go down Casey's neck and finally stopped when he was kissing her between her neck and collar bone. Casey couldn't help herself and was now moaning his name while he kept kissing her. The only thing they noticed was the other one.

"Hey do you guys want everyone to wake up and see you." Derek and Casey turned around to find Lizzie in their doorway smirking at them. "You know you're really lucky that George and mom sleep in the basement because me and Edwin could unfortunately here you from my room."

"Edwin get in here!" Derek was now in front of Lizzie when Edwin came in. "I thought we told you that you couldn't stay in Lizzie's room!"

"Relax Derek. Edwin came to my room so we could study for a science test that we have today. God, you can be so overprotective." With that said Lizzie and Edwin walked of to the kitchen.

"Wow Derek you've really taken over the big brother role for Lizzie." Casey then walked of into the bather room while giggling.

After what seemed like forever Casey was finally able to get Derek to get off of her and go get breakfast. When Derek was gone Casey quickly pulled out her cell phone and called Emily. Ring….ring…ring…

" Casey what are you doi…Oh my gosh today's your six month anniversary!"

"I know Em, Niw do you have everything covered?'

"Yes I do… After school you'll come over to my house to get ready and you will supposively stay the night over. Now once again do you know where Derek is taking you?"

"No Em, once again. Derek hasn't said anything but I think Ed and Liz know something because Liz wouldn't stop looking at Derek, then at me, and then start giggling. Then of course Edwin would just role his eyes and say something like girls."

"Oh Casey I you are so lucky! You have to tell me all the details tomorrow!"

"I promise I will, but you do know that there is a chance I will actually spend the night over right?"

"Of coarse there's a chance…a very slight chance." Now Casey could hear Emily giggling "…a very very small chance."

"Bye Em I talk to you later!"

6:55pm at Emily's

Casey was looking at herself in the mirror for what seemed like the twentieth time in under thirty minutes. Casey was extremely nervous for tonight. The only clue that Derek had given her was that she would want to wear a dress. Casey of course couldn't find a dress that she thought would be right for tonight so right after school the girls hit the mall.

At first Casey could not find a dress that she liked but finally just as Emily and her were about to leave Casey found the perfect dress. Casey was wearing a sleeveless black dress that hugged her every curve. The dress had a bottom diagonal cut with tiny black beaded roses at the top and the bottom edges. Casey had her hair in gentle curls and applied light make up.

"Casey you look perfect relax"

"Really Em, you think Derek will like it?"

"He'd be crazy not to!" Just then both girls heard the doorbell ring. " Oh that must be him! Good luck!" Emily ran out of her room to get the door while Casey put on some new perfume.

As Casey walked down she couldn't think of a time when she had been more nervous or excited. Derek always seemed to bring out the best in her. To her it was always like they were perfect for each other. She was always the studious one but Derek had started to pick up his grades and she couldn't be prouder. Derek was able to get her to lighten up and enjoy life more. When she was with him it was like they were the only two in the world and she could do any thing. She loved him so much and so she couldn't help but smirk when she saw Derek's reaction when he saw her.
