hi! sorry, I know it's been a long time, but I promise to post more soon!
"Casey, look, I know you've been avoiding me, but we need to talk." Derek said, walking into her room and closing the door. He flicked on the light to reveal her lying in her bed, her back to him. She rolled over and looked at him. "Derek, I need to rest for school tomorrow." she said, obviously annoyed. "It's Friday, Case." Derek said, sitting on her feet at the end of her bed. "I know that, I was hoping you didn't." she said bitterly, looking up at the ceiling.
"Look, what happened the other day was crazy, yeah, but we can't just forget it." Derek said, falling backwards onto the bed so he was lying next to her. "I know we can't." she said in a soft voice, barely loud enough to be heard. "what?" Derek asked, not believing his ears. "I know we can't forget it. It was amazing. wrong, and amazing. That's why I've been avoiding you. because wrong comes first, amazing second." she said sadly. "But it doesn't have to!" Derek argued, grabbing Casey's hand and sitting up. "Derek, we're step siblings, we can't just go around kissing!" she said, sitting up next to him. "but it's so fun." Derek said, making Casey giggle at the pure childishness of it. "Go to bed, Derek." she said, smiling. "Okay." he smiled, lying down in her bed, taking up as much as possible so she couldn't lay next to him. "Fine, I'll take your room." she grinned, prancing off in her pajamas and waving older her shoulder. "crap." Derek muttered under his breath. Knowing she cared about him made it all the harder to forget.
"Casey!" Liz yelled, walking down the hall into her sisters room. "Oh, there you are, Derek?" she said, looking at her stepbrother, who was sleeping in her sisters bed. "Derek, what have you done with my sister?" Liz asked, shaking him awake. "Nothing, we traded." Derek replied groggily. "you better not be lying." Liz said boldly, wandering to Derek's room, where Casey was staring at the ceiling.
"What am I supposed to do, Liz?" Casey asked, not bothering to look at her. "I don't know." Liz said, lying down next to Casey. "But I do know that this thing with Derek is driving him insane, otherwise he wouldn't be sleeping on butterfly sheets." Liz laughed. "yeah." Casey giggled. "Get dressed, mom's taking us shopping." Liz smiled. "perfect." Derek said, looking at the two girls from the hallway. "what?" Casey asked, smiling. "my room's turned into girl central." Casey and Liz only laughed more.
"Like it?" Casey asked, standing in Derek's door way. she was wearing a simple knee-length black dress with a white sash.
"eh." Derek said, barely looking up. wow. he thought, staring at her from the corner of his eye. "what?" she asked, smiling. "what?" Derek asked, hoping it wasn't what he thought. "you said wow." she said, grinning like they were in third grade and a Derek said she was pretty. "Oh, the dress is nice." he said, trying not to look embarrassed. "Derek," Casey said, grinning. "what?" he asked, looking up. "close the door." she instructed. "okay, Case." he said, standing up and shutting it quickly. "Now tell me, what do you really think of my dress?" she asked, walking closer to him so they were only inches apart again. "You look hot." Derek said mindlessly. "knew it." Casey giggled, backing up. "come on!" Derek huffed, throwing his hands in the air. "kidding." she said, smiling and walking up to him again. "I was just messing with you." she grinned. As she said it, Derek realized she still smelled like lavender. "So was I." Derek joked, lying. "Likely." she grinned, circling her arms around his neck. "Well?" she asked, grinning. "oh, right." Derek said quickly, kissing her.
It was unlike any other kiss Derek had ever had. He felt like he could barely breath, but in a good way, and the room spun again, faster. After a few minutes, or seconds, or eternity, Derek really couldn't tell, they parted for air. "Wow." Derek said, looking into her eyes deeply. "I think amazing just came first."
hope you guys liked it! I promise to write more really soon!
