Hey guys! Great news! I got a computer in my room, so now I will be able to update more often! The question is…Do you want me to? Let me know in the reviews! Also…that story I've been writing that none of you have been reading (I know no one has been reading it. I'm just that talented.) Anyway…It's doing pretty well. Check it out. And if you don't, I will find out. Here is chapter 17!

Derek didn't leave me alone the rest of the day. I was either wrapped in his embrace or he was holding my hand. I was still pretty scared from my dream. I didn't feel like a dream though, that's the thing. It felt real. And the look in Derek's eyes this morning did not help that feeling at all. But that look was gone now, so whatever it was I didn't have to worry about it.

Derek and I were sitting on the couch watching something really stupid on TV, when Lauren came into the room. When I saw her I automatically tensed up. Derek felt this and tightened his arms around my waist.

"Chloe, I was wondering if you wanted to go out and get something to eat." She said almost as if she cared. Maybe she did, but I wouldn't care, she ruined everything that Derek and I could have been. Now we have to start all over.

I knew that she was talking about going with her, but I decided that I was going to make her mad. I started to get off the couch. "Sure," I said turning to Derek, and stretching. "Where do you want to go Derek?" I asked. He raised his eyebrows. But he didn't catch on to what I was doing.

"Um Chloe, I think she meant you and her. Not me and you." He said with a smile that told me he loved me when I was dumb.

I looked back at Lauren and she was looking nervous, her arms were folded across her chest, and she was shifting from foot to foot. She looked sad. I almost felt bad for her. Seeing this in her eyes, I couldn't say no.

"Fine, but if you do anything to piss me off, I'm gone. Got it?" I asked turning to face her completely.

"Of course; no funny business. Now, where would you like to go?"

And with that, I was sitting in the car with Lauren ten minutes later. Kit told her to have us back by eleven. But Derek being the over protective boyfriend I love ever so deeply, decided ten. That leaves me with two torturous hours with her.

"Have you decided where you want to go?" She looked across at me from where she was sitting in the driver's seat. She used the tone of voice she used to use when I was a kid and she wanted to know something.

Um, I don't really know where anything is, why don't you choose." I said turning away so I didn't have to look back at her. I ended up with my feet on the chair and I was hugging my knees and looking out the window.

After driving for twenty minutes Lauren pulled into a parking lot outside a restaurant. I looked at the sign and it said Beijing Buffet. Great, Chinese food. She got out of the car and started walking toward the front door. I got out and followed her.

"Table for two." She said to the waiter. He led us to a table at the back of the restaurant.

"My name is Jason, and I will be your server for the night." He said with a smile. I looked over him. God he was attractive. I thought to myself. He was tall, dark blonde hair, and clear green eyes. I took me a moment to realize that he looked like Derek, a little too much like Derek. "Can I get you anything to drink?" He asked pulling me away from my thoughts.

"Iced tea, please." Lauren said with a smile, still keeping her eyes on me.

"Me too." I replied. He looked so much like Derek, not the hair, but his facial features. He also has that broad body like he did. If this guy had black hair, I would probably go up to him thinking he was Derek.

"Don't you think that he looks like Derek?" I asked Lauren leaning over the table so I didn't have to speak loudly. "He even has that werewolfly vibe about him."

"A little, don't worry about it. You're just paranoid." She said. I let it out of my mind through dinner.

Dinner wasn't really that bad, we talked. Not even about Derek. But mostly about my life in Vegas. After about an hour we got up and started walking to the car. I saw Jason outside on his cell phone. I didn't mean to, but I over heard his conversation.

"Yes Derek Suza. No, he wasn't here, it was his girlfriend. Chloe? Yeah that was her name. She was with some lady." There was a pause. "Yeah, I'll keep an eye on her."

Lauren pulled me to the car and we drove away. This was going to be a long night.
