Derek's POV
My life is seriously messed up. First I get two new annoying step-sisters and then I kiss one of them. Jeez, I need to find an insane asylum around here, because that's where I belong. I'm still astonished that I would actually kiss my annoying step-sister. Sure, I've thought about kissing her multiple times, but I never thought it would actually happen. There are so many thoughts rushing through my head and I just can't seem to be able to sort them out. And the worst part is, I was the one that started it. Not her, me. I kissed her first. Man, I really need to work some things out. And I could only think of one way to do that.
I opened my eyes and looked at the clock on my night stand. 3:07 am. It's showtime. I crawled out of my bed and out the door into the darkness of the hallway. I moved on all fours until I reached the bedroom door of the one and only Casey McDonald. I reached up and opened the door slowly. I climbed into the girly room then shut the door again. I kept the lights off so no one would see us. I crawled over to Casey's bed and jumped up next to her.
I was about to shake her awake when I saw her face. Man, she was beautiful, even when she was sleeping. Whoa, what am I thinking? She's my sister! I pressed the thoughts out of my twisted brain and shook Casey.
"Casey, get up." I whispered to her. "I need to tell you something."
"Derek," Casey muttered, still half asleep, "Get out of my room. Go back to sleep."
"Casey, can you sit up, we need to talk." Casey groaned and shifted up to face me.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Uh, what do you think about, the uh, the-"
"The kiss?" She said, interrupting me.
"Uh, yeah. The kiss."
"What about it?" She asked. She talked about it so casually, as if it wasn't a big deal.
"Have you thought about it at all?" I asked her.
"Well, I guess. Actually, I haven't thought about much else." Casey said to me, her eyes starting to flutter closed.
"Casey, c'mon, stay awake."
"Derek, do we have to talk about this now? You're getting annoying." Man, Casey is blunt when she's half asleep. It was kind of hot, actually. Oh, man. Gross. Why do I always think of these things?
"Casey, we have to talk now. If we talk later, someone is bound to hear us and then they will know that we, uh, kissed."
"Oh, yeah. We did kiss, didn't we?" Casey chuckled. "I can't believe we actually did that."
"I know. We're crazy, Casey. Someone is gonna find out and we're gonna get busted and then-"
"You wanna kiss again?" Casey asked me. Was she going insane? I thought Casey was supposed to be the one always in control, and now she is suggesting we potentially tear our whole family apart.
"Well, I'd like to, but I don't think we can."
"Derek, chill. You're starting to sound like me." Casey giggled and pulled me closer to her by the collar on my hockey jersey. I was pulled down until we were laying side by side on her bed. Casey bit her lip and my eyes went wide. She was smoking. Oh, ew. I've gotta learn how to stop thinking about Casey like that.
Suddenly, Casey softly pressed her lips against mine. I tried to pull away, but I couldn't resist. I leaned into her and kissed her back. I wrapped one of my arms around her waist and the other I stroked up and down her thigh. She placed her hands on my face and pulled me closer to her. We kissed for a few more enjoyable seconds before Casey pulled away. I furred my brows.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"Derek, you realize that we're making out on my bed at 3 in the morning and we are step-siblings?! That's messed up!" Look's like the usual Casey is back. Crap, I kinda liked the dazed, careless Casey better.
"Well, you're the one who wanted to kiss again! It was your idea!" I remarked. She looked confused.
"Derek, what have we gotten ourselves into?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, we have opened a pretty big can of worms and I have no idea how we're gonna get out of this one." She replied worriedly.
"Am I talking to the same person I was talking to 5 minutes ago?" I asked her. "You've completely changed your entire idea of our situation."
"C'mon Derek, do you really think we can work this all out?"
"Maybe. Casey, I'm open to anything as long as it involves you."
"Derek, that's probably the sweetest thing you've ever said to me, but-" Casey stopped mid-sentence. I furred my brows and looked at her, confused.
"Shhh, someone's coming." Casey whispered to me. "Get off the bed and lay down on the floor."
"What? Are you crazy?" I replied quietly.
"Get off!" I reluctantly jumped off the bed and fell down onto the floor.
A few seconds later, Lizzie opened Casey's door and turned on her light. "Case?"
"Hey, Liz. What are you doing up this early?"
"I heard talking in here and came to check on you. Derek, what are you doing?"
I stood up to give my alibi, but before I could talk, Casey interrupted. "Derek sleep walked in here and he woke me up."
"Oh. Well, sorry I woke you." Lizzie said to Casey.
"It's fine, Lizzie. I was already awake." Casey looked over my way and glared at me.
"Goodnight, guys." Lizzie said before going to her room. I released a loud sigh of relief and sat on the edge of Casey's bed.
"That was close." I said to Casey.
"No dip, Sherlock." She replied. I looked down at my feet.
"Um, I should probably get back to bed." I told Casey.
"Ok, well, uh, goodnight." She replied awkwardly.
"Can I at least have a goodnight kiss?" I said to her, laughing quietly. She glared at me. "It was a joke!" I said, throwing my hands into the air. She chuckled and walked over by my side. She gave me a quick peck on the cheek and pushed me towards her door.
"Goodnight, Derek." She said to me. Before I could respond, she slammed the door in my face. The light in her room quickly shut off and I heard the springs in her bed squeak from her climbing on top of them.
I turned and walked towards my room, smiling to myself. Maybe it wasn't such a bad night after all. Just maybe.
