So….ahem….been a while huh? Heh heh…Ok, PLEASE don't kill me, I am SOO sorry you guys. Well, here it is, after 3 freaking years, the next chapter. I own nothing XD
Casey POV
Derek crashed his lips onto mine, cutting off my sentence. He kicked the front door closed with his foot, then started to back me towards the couch. We managed to ease onto the couch without breaking lip contact. As we were making out, he eased me back down onto the cushions, so he was lying on top of me. We stayed like that for a while, and I could tell Derek was restraining himself. I pulled away to breathe for a moment, and then looked up at him. He was taking a few deep breathes himself, and looking at me in a way that I've only seen him use with Sally. I filed that away to freak out about later, but at the moment I needed to know why we were in this position, literally.
"Derek," I breathed, "What…what was that for?"
"Well Princess," he said with his smirk, "I loved the way you acted tonight. I've never seen you out and about with a guy, so I didn't know what to expect. And since there are many girls like that bimbo out there, and we were bound to run into one sooner or later, I was even more unsure of how tonight would go. But our date was amazing, despite the fire. And what you did out in the parking lot? Was so," he kissed me, "freaking," and again, "HOT." He kissed me one more time, then pulled away and sat up. "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable, Case. I don't know how experienced you are, and I don't want to push you too far, too fast."
"It's ok, D," I responded. "The making out was awesome, and I've run all the bases, but I've only made a home run once, with Max. It was shortly before we broke up." His eyes flashed, and he opened his mouth to say something, but I cut him off. "Not a word, Romeo. Remember I broke up with him, not the other way around, so it wasn't like that." He sighed and nodded, smiling at me.
"And just so you know, um, for me, I, uh…." He seemed to have a hard time with it, but I just sat there and waited for him to finish his thought, since it was so rare an occasion where he had trouble with words, Mr. Derek Smooth Operator Venturi. "Er…I….have only done it once, too. With Sally. It was a way to say goodbye." His face got really red once he said this.
"It's ok, Derek, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. I think it's sweet that you're not as experienced as everyone said you were." I took his hand in mine reassuringly. He took a deep breath and grinned at me.
"So, Princess, since our date was cut short, what would you like to do now?" he inquired with his sexy smirk.
"Hmmm, I don't know," I responded, starting to stroke his thigh. His eyes almost bugged out of his head. "What, didn't you say you liked this side of me? I'm pretty sure 'so freaking HOT' was your oh so eloquent opinion. But yea, I mean, I have no idea what we could do…." I leaned in, with him following my lead. And just as we were about to kiss, I leapt up and said "Let's go dancing!" Derek could only blink at me for a minute. Then he chuckled, and nodded.
"Nice one, Case. So where do you want to go?"
"There's this cool place that I read about, it's actually not far. We can walk, and also we can have a drink or two this way. So, how about it D?"
"Sure thing, let's go." And with that we headed out to the nearby club, following directions on my phone. It was even closer than I thought, which was awesome. We walked it, and it looked pretty cool. Dance area in the front, with a bar/restaurant area behind it, with flashing lights twirling around. We showed our IDs to the door guy and preceded the rest of the way in.
Derek POV
The place was pretty cool, and I could tell Casey was happy to be somewhere she could let loose. If there was one thing that helped her let go, it was dancing. Her hips were already moving to the beat of the song playing over the loudspeakers. Then a new one came on.
"Holy crap, I love this song!" she exclaims, pulling me onto the dance floor. I followed pretty willingly, and then chuckled when I heard the lyrics; I've heard it blasting from her room many times.
"You were always the girl {the girl}
Who would give me girl advice
Whenever I needed it
My best friend in the world
My friend's said you were fine
But I was always denying it
Then one summer day
I saw you laying by your swimming pool
And I was thinking, "damn you really changed"
You're not the quiet girl I used to know
You opened up my eyes
I see you walk across my room in
Nothing but the moonlight, Now I love to
See you in the dark, see you in the dark
My window frames you like a Monet
Don't come back to bed yet, cause I love to
See you in the dark, see you in the dark
I see you in the even dark, dark
I'll never see you the same
The veil has been lifted
Now I see you're gifted
My whole perspective has changed
Don't think I can't go back
Cause I will always desire it
Don't take another step
Near me, just in case we have regrets
Tomorrow we go back to being friends
I'll think about the way you looked tonight
Yeah, so turn off all the lights
I see you walk across my room in
Nothing but the moonlight, Now I love to
See you in the dark, see you in the dark
My window frames you like a Monet
Don't come back to bed yet, cause I love to
See you in the dark, see you in the dark
I see you in, in the dark, dark
Maybe if you were someone else
It wouldn't have to be like this
I wonder how you feel about me now
Or was it just a friendly kiss, yeah
Cause I'm seeing you for the first time
She pulls me closer to her body
As she whispers softly, "turn the lights off"
See you in the dark, see you in the dark
I see you walk across my room in
Nothing but the moonlight, Now I love to
See you in the dark, see you in the dark
My windows frames you like a Monet
Don't come back to bed yet, cause I love to
See you in the dark, see you in the dark."
We ended up doing a whole routine the song, instead of just bumping and grinding like everyone else. Nothing fancy, but it was good to dance with Casey again. The song was so fitting for us too, and at the end everyone cheered. We smiled, bowed and went to sit down. The rest of the night was pretty chill compared to that. Casey was glowing, and she looked damn beautiful under the lights. No one bothered us like they did earlier, and the whole night was a blast. We didn't end up drinking too much, so we were able to put one foot in front of the other as we made our way home, though there was a lot of giggling over nothing. Well, I chuckled, cause you know, men don't giggle. We got in the front door, and decided to go straight to be. I changed in the bathroom, out of respect for Casey. I wanted to do this right, and not overstep any lines. Finally, we were both in the room, ready for bed, just kinda standing there. I was a bit nervous; I've never spent the night with a girl, in any capacity.
"Um, so, time for bed…" I muttered, chuckling nervously.
"Y-yea…um, well, I don't mind if, like, we cuddle, or whatever. Like, what I mean is we don't have to separate ourselves or anything."
"Ok, sure, yea sounds good, cuddling and such," I responded, smiling at her and actually feeling a tad shy. "Uh, so do we just..?" I asked, moving slightly towards the bed.
"Yea, we just get in." And with that, we climbed in together. We adjusted till we were comfortable, with her head on my chest, and my arms around her. We fell asleep, just like that, and it was wonderful.
Ta – daaaa! Ok, please don't kill me for my uber flaky procrastination. I know it's been waaaay too long but that's why we're here now, and we love the new chapter right? Riiight? Ok, well, read and review please. Ok, thanks, again, don't kill me XD
