*Faith's POV*
I woke up with Dean's arms around me as his lips softly found my shoulder. I smiled, liking the feeling of being in his arms everyday. I stirred a little, feeling my back on his bare chest as I realized that we were still without clothes from the night before. Snuggling a little, his arms tightened around me as he pulled me as close to him as he could. Turning around, I looked up to see a sleepy smile on Dean's face.
"Good morning." I tell him with a smile.
"Good morning." He replies as he gives me a kiss. "How are you today?"
I close my eyes and take in his scent as I smile. "I'm good. I'm happy because as of yesterday, we are now two weeks away from graduating. You?"
"I'm very good." Dean said as he kissed my ear before planting his lips on mine. "I'm happy about graduating. I thought I wouldn't be here right now and I am. So I'm good."
"What do you want to do today after work?" I asked him as I kissed his chin.
For the last few weeks, Dean and I had been working an earlier shift on the weekends and so it gave us the rest of the day off after our shifts were over. If it wasn't for school, we would take the earlier shifts at work, but until we graduated, we had to stick with what we had right now. Maybe over the summer, they could take on earlier shifts.
"I don't know. Wanna go to the movies to see that movie that you've been wanting to see?" Asked Dean.
"Yes. You want to go?" I ask him.
"I'll go if you want to go. We can make it a date night." Dean says.
I smile up at him and give him a kiss. "I love you."
"I love you, too." Dean tells me with that adorable smile of his.
After a few more kisses and having Dean's lips on my skin, we reluctantly got out of bed to get ready for work. Once we made sure we had everything we needed, we walked hand in hand to the mall. Neither one of us had a car yet, though we both had our driver's license. Because we didn't have enough money to get even one car, we stayed walking a lot of places, and in turn, having to get ready earlier than what a lot of people would have, if they had a car in their possession.
"Hey guys." Said somebody from behind when they got to the mall parking lot.
When we both looked back, we saw that it was Vanessa with John and Derek who looked like he was beginning to trail behind them. I looked at Derek, and wondered how we got so distant over the last few weeks. I wondered if it was something that I did or said to cause it to happen.
We turned right back around and continued walking the rest of the distance of the parking lot and into the mall. The mall was a bit crowded today, most likely with it being because it was Saturday and schools were closed this weekend.
"Hey! I believe she said something to the two of you!" Exclaimed John, but we kept walking as if we didn't hear anything. We didn't want a fight to happen, but we didn't have a problem allowing John to make a fool out of himself.
John then grabbed my arm, forcing me to turn around. But before I could say or do anything in reaction to him, Dean let go of my hand and before you knew it, John was being thrown a few feet back. I quickly ran up to to Dean and stood in front of him.
"Dean, please calm down." I tell him softly, but urgently.
"No!" He exclaimed as he was starting to go crazy. "Who the hell do you think you are, putting your hands on her?! Huh?"
John smirked and chuckled as he got up and straightened himself out a bit, making Dean get more upset.
"When are you going to realize that she's mine, Dean?" Asked John. "Judging by the mark on your neck, I'm going to correctly guess that you sex her up, don't you?"
"It's none of your damn business what we do." I snap at him. "You're not my father for me to be telling you anything."
"But I am still married to your mother." John tells me.
I scoffed. "What does that have to do with anything? The last time I checked, you're cheating on her and you always did since the two of you got together. Second, regardless of whether you were married to her or not, you're nothing to me. You never were. So don't go around acting like I have to tell you anything or answer to you because I don't. Leave us alone, John and the next time that you put your hands on me, I will let Dean beat the shit out of you, because you deserve it for everything that you have tried to do to me. You don't even know the beginning of the extent of the shit you put me through, John. So don't go acting like you are all high and mighty because you're not."
Derek began to walk up to me and he stopped in his tracks when Dean quickly walked up to my side and protectively wrapped an arm around my waist. Derek put his hands up as if surrendering.
"I just wanted to talk to Leah." He said. "That's all I want right now."
"Dean and I have to get to work." I told him. "When I get out of work, we will talk if you truly want to talk to me. After the last few weeks, I hope you have something good to say to me."
They all looked at each other until I walked away. Dean kept an eye on them until he saw that I was far enough away for them to not want to come after me.
"Leah, are you okay?" Asked Dean.
"Yeah, that just frustrated me a bit. Who the hell does John think that he is?" I ask him. "Our sex life isn't any of our business, and I don't even want to know where he was trying to take that comment."
Dean nodded in agreement as he walked with me to the store that I worked in. "I do love making love to you though."
I felt my face grow warm as butterflies filled my stomach as I smiled up at him. "Of course you do. I was reminded of that last night."
He smiled and chuckled as he kissed my lips before looking at me with such passion and love in his eyes. "I love you, Leah."
"I love you, too." I tell him as my heart swells with happiness as he takes me in his arms. After everything that I have been through since I was a child, I sometimes wonder how I became so lucky to have a guy like him in my life. After a few more minutes of talking and sharing a few kisses, I quickly went inside and clocked in to get started on my shift. I sighed happily thinking about Dean again. I had a good feeling about our relationship and I wasn't going to give up on us anytime soon.
A few hours later...
*Derek's POV*
"You wanted to talk to me?" Asked Leah as she made her way to the table that I was sitting at.
"Yes, is it okay if we do?" I ask her as she takes a seat.
Leah nodded and got situated while I thought about how to say what I wanted to tell her. It had been a few weeks since we last saw each other and she didn't know why.
"How have you been over the last few weeks?" I asked her, trying to ease into it.
"I've been great." Leah replied with a smile. "I'm close to graduating with my friends and a lot of us are going to the same school, except for Roman and his cousins. They're going to Georgia Tech."
I saw the frown on her face and realized how much she cared them all. "So, about why I have been distant lately."
"Yes, I would like to know why. Did I do or say something wrong to make you push me away?" Leah asked.
"No, it's not that." I told her. "You did nothing wrong. It's just...I don't know how to tell you this."
She looked at me and blinked a few times. "Tell me what?"
"I've been with Vanessa." I tell her quietly.
Leah's eyes widened as she looked at me. "I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you correctly. Did you just tell me that you are with Vanessa?"
"Not in a relationship." I tell her, hoping that she wouldn't blow a gasket.
"Then in what way?" She asks as if daring me to tell her anything but the truth.
Words raced in my mind as I tried to put them together to form a sentence that would make sense. "We're not in a relationship, but we are having sex."
Leah closed her eyes and sat back in her seat. "Is this why you haven't been talking to me for the last few weeks? Because you've been screwing Vanessa? You know what she's been trying to do to Dean and I and that's what you're going to do?"
"Leah, it's nothing." I tell her. "It's just sex. I'm not trying to help her out with anything."
"How the hell am I supposed to know that it won't go any further than that?" Asked Leah. "I trusted you and you're going around having sex with someone that I feel betrayed me."
I sighed and rubbed my forehead. "Leah, I'm sorry that I didn't say anything to you. I'm sorry for even allowing it to happen. I feel guilty about it."
"No you don't because you keep having sex with her so what are you sorry about?" Leah asked. "You're happy because you have someone to go to when you get off. Is sex all you want from her?"
"Yes, that's all I want. That's why I'm not agreeing to anything that she wants me to do, Leah." I tell her honestly.
"Out of all of the girls that you can have sex with, you decide to put it in her?" She asked me.
"Vanessa is always there and she's always offering it to me, so I thought I'd take the offer." I tell her.
Leah scoffed. "That doesn't make you any better than her. You do know that your dad has sex with her too, right?"
When I didn't say anything, Leah got up and began to grab her things.
"Leah, wait." I tell her as I get up.
"What, Derek?" She asked. "I can't tell you who to fuck, but I just wish you didn't go after someone who's trying to break up Dean and I. Do you not realize that I love him more than I have ever loved any one? That he makes me so happy, the happiest that I have ever been? I'm sitting here, thinking that I can trust you and you're fucking the one girl that screw me over. How could you? How do I know that you're not secretly trying to do something against Dean and I?"
"I'm not, I promise." I tell her, pleading for her to believe me.
Leah looked away as she let out a sharp breath. "When I believe you, then we can talk."
"No, Leah, let's talk about this." I say to her.
"Derek, no." She says. "Not right now. Just give me time to take all of this in because right now, I can't believe you."
Leah stormed off before eventually running up to Dean who was waiting for her. He wrapped his arms around her as they shared a kiss. I could see the look that they shared and saw that Leah had a point. Dean really looked like he loved her. How can I fix this with Leah?
A/N: Does anyone see how protective Dean is of Leah? Can anyone tell that he and Leah truly love each other? What did you think of Derek telling Leah what he was doing with Vanessa? What do you think of Leah's reaction to the news? Is she more upset than what she's allowing Derek to see? How do you think this will change their friendship with each other?
