I'm not well :(. But I'll still write this up, even though I can smell sick. Ew. Must have been something I ate. Maybe. Anyway, I'm not getting many reviews for my chapters anymore :(. That's what hurts the most. Gawd, I always get dead rambly when I start chapters. I think that's from Gossip Girl. Maybe. Anyway, you'll see a lot more action from Massie and Derrington in this chapter but not too much.


'Dalton James.' She said.

'YES!' Alicia said. 'I picked the whole name.'

The girls giggled.

'Let's hope Mom and Dad like it.' Massie said. She shook the cap again, and offered it to Dylan. Dylan pulled a scrap of paper out and read aloud.

'Rayne Avery.' She said.

'Ok, that's settled.' Massie said. She tossed the cap aside. 'Let's go tell my mom and dad.'


Westchester, NY

Derrington's House

Sunday, May 18th

2:45 P.M.

'Thanks, Isaac!' Massie called, as she walked up Derrington's drive. 'I'll call you when I need picking up.'

Isaac waved and Massie could hear the car drive away. She walked around the side of the house and knocked on the red side door. Massie waited patiently, rubbing her bare arms in the slight breeze. Derrington answered.

'Hey, Mass.' He stepped aside and let her in.

'Hey.' Massie said, she walked into the air-conditioned, stainless steel kitchen. Lemon Pledge was the ever familiar smell that met her nostrils.

'Let's go down to the basement.' Derrington said, grabbing her hand. He pulled her out of the kitchen, through the hall and down some stairs.

Massie sat herself down on the leather sofa whilst Derrington fetched them some drinks.

'Starbucks?' He asked, gesturing to a trolley in the corner of the room.

'You have one of those?' Massie asked.

Derrington nodded. 'My mom used to have it in her office but she started getting headaches when she didn't have coffee, so she put it down here.'

'Cool. Where do you get them? I have to have one.' Massie said.

Derrington shrugged. 'I'll ask her and let you know. So, what do you want?'

'Chai latte, if you please.' Massie said, slipping her shoes off her feet and curling her feet beneath her.

'Sure.'

Massie looked around the room, whilst Derrington prepared the drinks.

'Here you go.'

Derrington handed her the familiar paper cup and set his own down on the wooden coffee table in front of the sofa.

'You drink coffee?' Massie asked.

Derrington smiled. 'Hot chocolate. I'm a mommy's boy at heart.' He said, placing a hand on his heart.

Massie giggled. She sipped her own scalding tea then set it down next to Derringtons. Massie moved closer to Derrington and he put his arm around her, pulling her closer.

'So, how long have we been going out?' Derrington asked.

'A year, two months and 25 days. That's from the day we first kissed.'

'Didn't we have a break from each other in that time? At Skyes party.'

'Ok, then that's how long I've liked you.'

Derrington kissed her.

'I've liked you longer.' He said, after pulling away. 'Why don't you stay the night?' He whispered in her ear.

'It's school tomorrow.' Massie said, feeling tingles down her spine.

Derrington sat back.

'Oh, yeah. Next Saturday?' He asked, his eyes looking hopeful.

'Definately.'

Massie whispered in his ear. 'Let's do it.' She said.

'Do what?'

'It.'

'It what?'

'It it.'

'It it what?'

'It it it.'

'It it it what?'

'Never mind. I was kidding anyway.' Massie said, feeling relieved. She had wanted to be the first of her friends to lose it but not so soon.

'Oh that!' Derrington said. He snuggled into Massie's neck and kissed it. 'Maybe in a few months?' He asked, hopefully.

'Maybe when I'm sixteen.' Massie said, giggling.

'Yeah, if you want to be the last of your friends to lose it.' Derrington said, removing his arm from around her.

'What?' Massie asked.

'Josh thinks he and Alicia are close to it. He's already felt her up, you know.' Derrington said.

'No, I didn't know. I just want us to be special when we do it, not because everyone else is.'

'I know.' Derrington put his arm back around her.

'Since when did Josh feel up Alicia?' Massie asked.

'Oh, that. She didn't tell you. Probably embarassed.'

'What happened?'

'Alicia invited Josh around to hers, so they could swim. He said they were in the jacuzzi and they started making out. Alicia's mom was in New York with her dad whilst he was doing some big case, and the help had to day off. So they were alone. Anyway, Josh pulled her closer and Alicia sat on his lap.' Derrington said.

'Then what?' Massie asked, wanting the whole story to throw in her friend's face sometime.

'Well, Alicia was wearing a bikini and Josh undid her top. Alicia didn't notice, as she was getting carried away with the kissing. Josh threw it to the side of the tub and started to feel her, you know.'

'Ehmagawd. She never told me this.' Massie said.

'Yeah, this was like last month or something. Anyway, Josh said they nearly ended up doing it in the jacuzzi.'

'Ew!' Massie said. 'What happened?'

'Oh! Well, Josh started to untie her bikini bottoms as he thought he was going to get some action but Alicia stopped him and said she wasn't ready, plus she didn't want to lose her virginity in her parents jacuzzi.'

'So, are they going to do it?' Massie asked, once again, angry that her friend had more experience.

'Josh thinks soon.' Derrington said, and he started to softly kiss her neck. Massie closed her eyes, loving the feeling.

Derrington's own hand started to rub Massie's flat stomach and started to creep under her bikini top. Massie's eyes shot open and she pulled his hand away before he got too far in.

'Sorry. Too much.' Derrington asked, looking sheepish.

'A little. I don't want to seem frigid and I know we've been going out a long time but I don't want to end up getting carried away on a sofa in your basement.'

'I know. Sorry. I just didn't want to be the only one of my friends who hasn't got some action. Apart from Cam.'

'Only Josh has.'

'I know but he can hold it over me.'

'Alicia can hold it over me but I don't care. I want us to be special when we do something together. You were my first kiss.' Massie decided to forget about Todd Lyons actually kissing her first. That didn't count.

'You were my first everything. Kiss. Love.' Derrington said.

Massie blushed. 'I love you, too.' She said, softly.

Derrington's eyes twinkled and he started to kiss her softly, but passionately. After a few minutes, Massie's tongue started to ache so she pulled away.

'We've picked the babies names.' She said.

'Oh, cool. You never told me the sexes.' Derrington said.

'Boy and a girl. Dalton James and Rayne Avery.'

'Strange names.' Derrington said.

'Yeah. But Mom and Dad like them.' Massie lifted her chai latte and sipped it. It was the perfect temperature so she quickly drunk it and checked her watch.

'Do you have to be somewhere?' Derrington asked.

'No.' Massie said. 'What do you want to do?'

'I'd rather kiss you all day but if you want to do something, we can.'

Massie smiled.

'I don't know what I want to do.' Massie said.

'Do you think Claire will ever get back with Cam?' Derrington asked, looking into Massie's eyes.

Massie shrugged. 'If Aaron moved back to Orlando, then maybe but he'd have some serious buttkissing to do.'

'Like that's going to happen. I feel sorry for the guy.'

'Find him a new girl.'

'I don't think there's a website or a hotline for 'I've cheated. Find me a girl who will give me a chance.' Do you?' He asked.

Massie giggled.

'Maybe not. Fine. Maybe, I'll see if I can work on Claire. But to be friends with him, if she wants to get back together with him, she would. But I seriously think, Aaron is the one for her.'

Derrington kissed her forehead.

'You're a good friend, Mass.'

Massie smiled.

Octavian Country Day

The Steps

Monday, May 19th

8:17 A.M.

'Kuh-laire, are you coming in or not?' Massie asked. She had stopped at the top of the stairs, noticing her blonde friend wasn't with TPC.

'Not yet. I'm going to wait here for Aaron.' Claire sat, tugging at her bangs.

'Whatevs.' Massie said. She stomped off into the building, with her other three friends behind her.

It was a few minutes later, when she saw Derrington, Cam, Josh, Kemp and Chris walking towards the steps. She stopped Derrington when he reached her.

'Hi, Derrick.' She said, smiling.

'Oh, hi, Claire.' Derrington said, giving Cam a glance.

'Do you know where Aaron is?' She asked.

'He was right behind us, a few minutes ago.' Derrington looked behind him. 'There he is.' He pointed into the distance.

'Thanks.' Claire smiled, and the four boys walked away.

'Hey!' She called, as Aaron got nearer.

'Hey.' He said. He gave her a hug when he reached her.

'Just thought I would wait for you.' She said, smiling.

'Good.' He smiled back, then pecked her on the lips. 'Let's get inside.' He took her hand and pulled her up the steps.

'So, how was your weekend?' Aaron asked, as they approached the lockers.

'It was good, I guess. We picked the names for the babies.'

'Oh, cool.' Aaron said, smiling.

'So, are you doing anything after school?' Claire asked.

'Soccer practice. We've got a big game on Saturday, you've no idea how much I want to win this game. Me and my brother have a bet going. If I win, I get his drums. How cool is that?' Aaron said, eyes twinkling.

'Way cool.' Claire said, smiling back.

Ending chapter here, lots of drama in the next one, trust me. Next one should be up within the next two days. So review.
