Chapter 4

Casey sat at her vanity staring at her reflection in her mirror. How could she do that? How could she kiss Derek in public like that? She was so horrified. She thought about the kiss. The way it felt, and the way the kiss felt when she kissed him in the restroom, both times he had pushed her away.

Casey felt like crawling up in a ball and hiding under her bed for the rest of her life. She wanted nothing more then to forget that she did kiss Derek Venturi. He must hate her, she felt like a complete fool. She could not believe that Derek had pushed her away, either. How dare he do something so atrocious as to push Casey McDonald in public? She could not believe that all that time she thought he had the same feelings for her as she did him. When if fact he actually did not. He was just playing her for a fool as so she thought.

Casey sighed heavily as she tried not to think of Derek any longer, however he was in her blood. She felt him. She felt the need to be with him. She wanted nothing more then to make sweet, hot, passionate love to him. She knew it would never amount to that. She could not help it though she wanted it. She wanted him more then anything.

She stared at the image of herself in the mirror. She started to reprimand her self-image. "You're such a fool to even think he likes you that way. A fool to even think he is even dreaming of making you his." She scowled at herself. "You're a fool Casey McDonald an utter fool to believe that you are Derek's Reverie."

Casey shut her eyes tightly before opening them when she heard a knock on the door. "Casey it's Em, can I come in?."

"Emily? Ugh!" She silently grimaced not wanting to talk to her right then. However, she knew Emily would not go away until she opened the door and conversed with her. Casey slowly walked to the door and opened it." Em! It is so good to see you!"

"Can you please elucidate what that scene was at Metro?"

"What scene?"

"What scene? Casey it looks like you and Derek were practically fornicating on that dance floor."

"Emily, don't be ridiculous." Casey said sardonically knowing that Emily always made mountains out of molehills when it basically came to anything. "You're probably just overreacting to the way I was dancing."

"Casey, I do not overreact. I observe and what I was observing is not behaving of a girl like you, what about your reputation."

"Emily, please."

"Don't Emily, please. Me, I do not go around fornicating on dance floors with boys who also happen to be my stepbrother. That's the same as incest."

"We aren't blood related."

"Casey, he is your step brother. Most people would view that as wrong. I just don't want to see you get hurt."

Casey listened to her friend talk. She understood why Emily was so concerned, she knew that getting involved with Derek would cause more problems than not, but she was willing to take that risk. She just wanted to know what it would be like to be with him. In every sense of the word.

Derek entered his room to find one of his may ex girlfriends, Molly Canton

Derek gave a scouring look at Molly as he entered his room. "How'd you get in here?"

"I sweet talked your father, he loves me you know."

"Than why are you here?" Derek said obviously not in the mood for anything.

"I thought we could fuck. " Molly Canton was Derek's for lack of a better term.. fuck buddy. Derek was never for huge relationship. I suppose the girlfriends he had you could hardly call girlfriends, they were more along the term of friends with benefits.

Derek stared at himself in the mirror. Derek could fuck Molly to ease the tension of his day he had with Casey. The day he wanted to forget about, he couldscrew Molly all night however he knew that it wouldn't matter he had Casey in his blood. He wanted more of her.

"As tempting as your offer sounds Molly I'm going to have to pass."

"What? Why? Derek you don't mean that." She said as she got off the bed and walked up to him, she started rubbing her body next to his. "Derek you want me, you know you do."

Derek however was not budging he grabbed her arms and removed them from his torso. "I told you I don't want to have sex with you. What part of that do you not comprehend?"

Molly whined a bit. "But I need someone, please Derek you always knew how to satisfy me."

"I said I didn't want to fuck. Why can't you respect that?"

Because before you usually had me screaming your name and moaning so loud, that a parent would come up to see what the noise was.

Derek closed his eyes before opening. "I'm sorry Molly, I just don't feel like any company right now, so if you don't mind leaving me alone."

Molly who was obviously upset gave in and decided to leave. "Alright, I'll leave, but I'm not giving up on you."

"Goodbye Molly." Derek said not looking at her while she left. He was saying goodbye for good; he had enough of their games. He wanted something more. Something he knew he could never have with Molly Canton. Perhaps he could get what he wanted with Emily. He however also knew that was impossible because Emily was dating Paul.

There was only one person he wanted more with. Only one person that actually made him smile when he thought of her, and that was Casey. The only thing in his way of being with her, well two things…the fact she had a boyfriend, and that she was his stepsister. But did obstacles ever stop Derek Venturi? You bet they didn't.

Sam was feeling ashamed at the thoughts he had about Derek. He did not know how to comprehend such feelings. Was he gay? Has he always been attracted to men? Why Derek? He has never had thoughts about other men before.

"Sam no one will ever have to know about this, nobody will ever know. You love Casey, Casey and you are happy." He said as he decided that what he was feeling was just a fly by night thing and that he what he and Casey had been the real deal.

He closed his eyes. An image of Derek came to mind. He opened them quickly. "Oh what do I do?"

"Sam?" His father called out worried about

His father knocked, and heturned to look at the door in utter shock. He did not know what to do. He did not know how to explain himself. He was so sure that his father would have been able to see right through him.

"Sam, Casey's here to see you."

"Casey?" He called as he opened the door excited to see his girlfriend.

Casey walked into the room to see her boyfriend looking abit overwhelmed about something."Sam, you alright?"

"Me, why wouldn't I be alright. I'm just so happy to see you. I love you. I love you so much Casey."

"I love you too Sam." She told him. Sam grabbed on to her and embraced her with everything he had. He then put his lips on hers and kissed her fast. After a few minutes he pulled back. "What was that for."

"Make love to me. Please" He practically begged.
