All it took was a week. It took one week for Derrick Harrington to be certain he wanted to be with Massie Block. That week was spent every day at the Block Estate. At first, he would text Adam or Spencer asking to hang out and they did, but Massie would always somehow be a part of it. When Adam and Derrick practiced kicking Massie came outside and made a fool out of herself trying to kick the football too. When Derrick and Spencer went skateboarding Massie greeted them with ice cold lemonade she just coincidentally made. Even when all of the guys were planning to go to BDubs Massie asked to go with saying she had no idea Derrick was going and she was just really hungry. The things girls would do to get his attention made him laugh, but with Massie he just found it adorable.
Derrick decided him and Massie should have some one on one time. Massie agreed almost immediately. So, tonight Derrick was going over to the Block's house for a movie night with Massie. As usual, Mr. and Mrs. Block wouldn't be home. Adam had work and Aiden had a date of his own. Spencer was probably going to be the only one home, but he was already beyond annoyed that his friend was going to his house to hang out with his sister. Derrick invited Spencer to join them. Spencer's response? "I'd rather stick needles into my eyes."
Derrick took one last look in the mirror. He had a pair of khaki shorts on with a navy blue and white striped polo from Ralph Lauren. He took a deep breath and left.

At the Block house Massie was freaking out. This is what Massie has been waiting for and she only had about half an hour to figure out what to wear. She didn't want to look to dressy, but she didn't want to look like she didn't care. She thought for a minute and walked towards the back of her closet. She pulled out a pair of white short shorts and then found a baby pink mid-sleeved frilly Alice + Olivia top. She took a look in the mirror and decided she needed something else to complete her outfit. She looked around and heard her phone beep.

Derrick is So Sexy
On my way. (;
Massie giggled at the name Derrick named himself as in her phone, she didn't bother to change it.
Massie
Ok, sounds good!(:
Massie sighed and put her phone down; she glanced at the gold Juicy Couture charm bracelet on her desk. She slipped it on and looked back in the mirror. "Perfect." She thought.
She looked around her room to make sure there wasn't a thing out of place. Derrick and Massie decided to take her bedroom so Spencer could have downstairs to himself.
Massie stared at her wavy hair and wished she had spent a few more minutes on it. She was contemplating whether or not to try to curl it when the doorbell rang. Well, too late for that. Massie took one look at her and dashed down stairs.
Massie took a breath as she opened the door where she was greeted with a smiling Derrick.
"Hi." Massie smiled, her nerves starting to go away.
"Hey." Derrick nodded as he stepped through the doorway. "What are we watching first?"
Massie smiled to herself. "You get to pick! I pulled out all of the movies I'm certain you haven't seen before."
Derrick chuckled, "Please Mass, I know every movie known to man."
Massie opened her bedroom door and turned to look at him, "We'll see." She giggled.
Massie grabbed a stack of DVD's and laid them out on her bed. As she did this Derrick stood by the door and admired her.
"Massie?"
"Yeah?" She asked not looking up.
"Look at me."
Massie stood up and looked at Derrick confused, "What's up?"
Derrick walked over to her, "You look really good."
Massie blushed and immediately returned back to the movies. "Thanks." She looked at him, "You do too."
Derrick smiled, "Thanks." He walked over to her and took a look at the 4 movies she laid out. Just seeing the first one made him burst out laughing.
"Massie, you're kidding."
"Nope! I told you I had something you've never seen before!" She smirked proudly.
"Well, I don't watch movies that I know are going to be bad." He said looking at the covers of The Notebook, Titanic, My Sister's Keeper, and Dear John.
Massie gasped out loud, "These are all classics Derrick! You're going to love it, I promise! Now pick!"
Derrick rolled his eyes and picked up My Sister's Keeper, "This better be good."
Massie smiled, "You're going to love it!" Massie said putting it in and jumping back on the bed. Derrick sat next to her.
About 45 minutes into it Derrick noticed Massie started sniffling. "Mass?" He asked.
"Y-ye-yeah?" She whimpered.
"Are you okay?" He asked confused as he saw a tear fall down her face.
"It's ju-just soo s-sa-aad."
"Why are you crying?" Derrick let out a small chuckle.
"Be-ca-cause Kate j-just wa-ants to die, an-and her mo-om won't l-let her!" Massie sobbed.
Derrick smiled to himself. She looked so small and cute when she cried. "Come here." Derrick said as he held her in his arms rubbing her back. Massie's crying subsided until the end when Anna died and she exploded into tears all over again.
Derrick lifted her face towards hers, "Massie, it's okay, it was a happy ending!" he said wiping the tears falling down her cheeks.
"Bu-ut she's de-dea-deadd!" Massie sobbed.
Derrick tilted her chin up towards him, "It's what she wanted though! Besides, I thought you've seen this movie already?"
Massie nodded, "I-I cry ev-ever-y ti-ime."
Derrick smiled to himself as he pulled her into his chest, he could feel her crying against his chest and after a while she finally stopped. She pulled back and looked up at him with red puffy eyes. "Why'd you pick the saddest one?"
Derrick laughed, "You want to watch another?"
Massie shook her head her curls fanning around her face, "I don't think I can handle another."
Derrick smiled at her. "You know you're really cute when you cry."
Massie smiled, "I didn't know it was possible to look cute when you cry."
"You're pretty good at it," Derrick said their faces getting closer and closer together.
Massie giggled, "Thanks."
Massie looked at Derrick's lips as she could feel them getting closer and closer to hers when, "I'm hungry. You got anything to eat?" He said pulling back right away causing Massie to almost fall forward.
Derrick got up from the bed and turned to look at her. He grinned at her dumbfounded expression. "What?"
Massie got up from her bed, and poked Derrick in the chest, "You sir, are a tool."
Derrick laughed out loud, "Yeah, but you love it." He winked at her.
They went down to the kitchen and grabbed a tub of mint chocolate chip ice cream and two spoons. When they got back up Derrick looked at the other movie's the Block's had.
He picked up The Grudge and turned to Massie, "Ever seen this one?"
She took a bite of ice cream and shook her head, "And I don't plan on it."
"Good!" Derrick said walking towards her TV. "We'll watch this then!"
Within the first half hour Massie had already screamed twice and snuggled into Derrick and held onto his shirt for dear life. Derrick rubbed her back and placed tiny kisses on her head.
She looked up at Derrick a terrified expression on her face, "Why do you hate me?"
Derrick was going to laugh, but saw how scared and serious Massie looked, he held onto her tighter. "I don't hate you at all Mass."
Massie nodded, "First you made me cry, then you teased me, and now you're making me scared!" She pouted.
"Those were the movies faults not mine!" Derrick chuckled softly.
Massie shook her head, "Not when you teased me."
"You don't like it when I tease you?" Derrick asked.
Massie shook her head.
"Then what do you want me to do."
"To kiss me!" Massie pouted, and then shut her mouth realizing what she said.
Derrick laughed, "Well, why didn't you just say so?" He asked before leaning in and pecking her sweet lips with his. He kissed her with more passion than he's ever kissed anyone with.
Massie held onto Derrick as his hand wrapped around her waist as they kissed. Massie couldn't have asked for a better first kiss.
Derrick pulled back and looked at her, "I don't hate you at all." Derrick smiled.
Massie smiled back, "I believe you."
That night Massie didn't only get her first kiss, but her second and third too. They were watching cartoons on Nickelodeon when Massie fell asleep in Derrick's arms. Derrick contemplated whether or not he should just stay the night or leave. He figured, Adam and Aiden wouldn't like to come home to find him in bed with their sister. He got up, tucked her under the covers, and kissed her forehead. He took one look at how peaceful she looked in bed and turned to go. That night was the night Derrick became more than certain that he and Massie were meant to be together.
