I DO NOT OWN LWD!!!!!

Chapter four:

Dreaming of her, Thinking of her, Wishing I could be hers. HER HER HER and then HIM??

------------------------------------------Derek's Dream----------------------------------------------------------------

" You think people would put their books back." I heard her mumbling to herself.

I knew that she's worked here in the library for a while, you know when she's not doing her dance thing. I've been coming here for about three weeks, trying to get the courage to make a move, and I have purposely left my books out knowing she would come around and pick them up getting the cute annoyed look on her face. Ugh, I feel like a bad chick movie. Anyways, today was the day. Now or never.

" Excuse me, Miss? Do you know where I can find any books on film and pohotgraphy?" I came up behind her.

" Yes, they over there." She pointed to a shelf, her back still to me.

" Where?" I asked, turn around dang it!!!

" Here." She walked over to the shelf pointing at a few books.

" I still don't see it." I smirked, trying not to laugh.

" They are right in front of you." She turned around to look at me clearly annoyed but then her expression changed.

" De-rek!" I laughed.

" The one and only" I got out before she hugged me.

" Woah!" I quickly hugged her back.

" Where's Kaylie?" She asked. My heart sank a little.

" Off doing her own thing." I shrugged trying to act casual, leaning against the book shelf.

" Oh, I see." She just said.

" So, uh what are you doing later?"

" Nothing I guess. Hey! Me, you and Kaylie could do something." She got an excited look, her blue eyes sparkling.

" Kaylie won't be coming." I stood up straight.

" Why?" Ugh! How can she not understand this!

" 'Cause she's with Dean" I took a step towards her. Maybe I'll have to show her.

" What?" She took a step back.

" She's with Dean" I repeated simply, taking another step.

" Why?" She asked, taking a step back running into the opposite book shelf.

" 'Cause she wants to be." I closed the gap between us.

" What are you doing?" She asked me, eyes wide. Oh how I love those eyes.

" This." I leaned in and kissed her.

----------------------------------------------End Dream----------------------------------------------------------------

KNOCK!! KNOCK!! KNOCK!!

" Derek! Up, Now!" My Mom's voice came through the door.

Groaning, I rolled out of bed and glared at the door until I heard her walk away.

Clearly, I need to explain things to you now. You see, my parents are still together. Yes, there was that rough patch but Mom and Dad came up with a system. She would go to school and visit on weekends all the time and of course she still lived in the house but with her being at school full time made seeing her all the time hard. Although there were the few times she was at dinner, anyways. We would go on family vacations all the time, and we always had a good time. I knew that my parents still loved each other I mean why else work so hard to make things work right??

Okay, back to now. I was getting ready for the day, and usually I wouldn't be up until about noonish on a Sunday but of course with Mom around that was nearly impossible.

Heading downstairs I joined the family in the kitchen, grumpy as I was I did smile at Marti.

" Ed. Food. Now." I ordered.

" Derek. Food. Yourself." Mom gave me that look.

" Fine." I grabbed the cereal box.

" Today, I thought we could go to the park." Mom said after a few minutes silence.

" That's a great idea. We could have a picnic." Dad said, which made Mom smile.

" Yea!" Marti squealed.

" Can Lizzie come?" Edwin asked.

" I thought she was going to church with Kaylie?" Mom said.

" Space Case is going instead." I said looking down at my cereal. Stupid dream, stupid Casey...No not stupid Casey.. UGH!

" Aw, Derek upset that Casey can't come?" Edwin teased.

" No! Why would say something like that?!" I looked at him wide eyed.

" I was just teasing." Edwin said, looking at me weird.

" Okay then Lizzie can come." Mom said ignoring what happened.

Pretty much that's how the rest of the day went.

-------------------------------------------Kaylie-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I stretched, walking out of the church and into the parking lot with Casey.

" I am tired." I said.

" Well we only sat there for three hours." She smiled.

" True, so lets go eat lunch before Dean picks me up to take me to the service project." We got in the car.

" Dean?" She asked.

" Yea, he said he wanted to help out." I shrugged.

" Oh."

From then on out the car ride was pretty silent, minus the music and Casey's singing. Oh then my cell phone rang.

" Hello?" Casey picked it up.

" No, she's right here." she said. " She's driving. So, she's driving. Who cares? Do you now how many people die in phone related car accidents?? Ugh, whatever. Now what do you want? Hold on."

She turned to me. " He wants to know if you want to go on a romantic picnic."

" You mean the one his family is having and the one I know Lizzie went to with Edwin? Sure, but you have to come." I laughed and she repeated what I said. I could almost see his smirk come right off his face.

I would have to make it up to him later, but really would it kill him to be with Casey for more than thirty minutes? I thought turning towards the park.

----------------------------------------------Casey-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Getting out of the car, we walked through the park near a group of trees where we saw the Venturi family playing around. It was warm, considering it was summer and we only had a few weeks left before school started up for out senior year. I'd much rather be studying but of course Kaylie was always dragging me in to hang with her.

So there we were walking and talking, eating lunch and actually having fun with the Venturi family. I never thought that this could happen. It didn't seem like we were there long before Kay's phone started ringing.

" Hey." She said casually into the phone. " Oh yea, sorry! I am at the park with Derek and Casey. No no, you can come pick me up now. Okay, bye." She set the phone down.

" Who was that?" Derek asked and I just looked away finding the tree above us very fascinating.

" Oh, that was Dean." She just shrugged.

" He's picking you up?" His voice got all weird.

" Yea, he's helping with the service project." Kay popped a grape in her mouth.

" You didn't tell me that." He crossed his arms.

" He called last minute."

" Casey, did you know about this?" He asked me.

" Ummm..." I looked at Kay wondering what I should say.

" You did huh? How come she knew?" He was angry.

" 'Cause I told her in the car on the way here." Dean's car honked at us from the street.

" I have to go. I'll see you later." kay got up and left, clearly a little annoyed.

" What is your problem?" I turned to him.

" What?!" He stood up.

" I said, what is your problem?? You practically took her head off." I stood up facing him.

" She's going behind my back and hanging with other guys!"

" She always hangs out with guys! Do you even know how many girl friends she has compared to the guys she hangs out with?" His eyes narrowed at me.

" Verses how many friends you have?" He spat.

I froze. " That was low even for you." I turned and started to walk away from him.

" Case," I grabbed my wrist holding me back. " I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."

My skin was tingling and I was hoping he couldn't feel my pulse quicken. I turned away from him so he wouldn't see me blush.

" That's the thing... You DID mean it." I tugged hard getting my wrist free and walking back to me and Kay's car.

--------------------------------------------Derek-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I grabbed for her wrist.

" Case, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." I looked into her eyes but she turned away.

I could feel her pulse under my thumb, and it sped up. Was that a blush creeping up her neck? To be honest my heartbeat quickened as well.

" That's the thing... You DID mean it." The she pulled away from me and walked away.

" Dang it!" I mumbled frustrated. Why did I have to go and say that?.. UGH why do I even care. She practically attacked me with her words. Yea, but I only said that because I was angry. UGH!!

" Nice going." Edwin said behind me.

" Yea, that was just mean." Lizzie added in.

" Yea..." I turned around and walked passed them. There was a lot on my mind, like the dream I had last night and now Kaylie going off with Dean. Maybe I didn't get enough sleep. Yea, yea, that's it... Even though I knew it wasn't.

---------------------------------------------------Kaylie-----------------------------------------------------------------

" I mean could you believe him??" I asked Dean while we drove to our friend Krista's house.

" Yea, I mean if my hot girlfriend was going off with one of my best friends and happens to not tell me. I think I would be a little upset, are you sure he won't beat the crap outta me for this?" He turned to me almost smiling.

" I'm sure, and hot huh? I better not tell him you said that." I smirked at him

" Oh.." Dean blushed keeping his eyes on the road.

I couldn't help but give a little giggle.

" Did you just giggle?" He turned and asked.

" No!" I blushed. What is wrong with me??? The only person who can make me giggle is Derek.

I turned and faced the window while Dean just laughed even harder at me the entire way to the house.

This was going to be interesting...

MORE TO COME!!

LOVES, AVA
