Okay, so this one took a little longer to write because lack of inspiration and I had to do some research. I know I said that the chapters were supposed to be alternating POV but I had to switch to Derek. Also, I'm TRYING to make chapters longer but they look long in word and then not so much on fanfic lol anywho…

Diclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever own LWD

I looked over at Derek as he was driving. He'd been in a good mood since this morning, granted we'd only just finished breakfast, and we were in Detroit which was pretty cool, but this whole "starting new" thing might actually be working.

"Are you finally going to tell me the plan for today?" he asked, he didn't seem irritated that I'd been keeping it a secret.

"Alright, fine. So the first thing I thought we could do would be go see the Motown historical museum. I know you're into music, and I think it would be kind of cool. And I know the word museum is kind of a turn off for you, but I figured you might be interested." He smirked as I tried to sell it.

"Yeah, that sounds cool." I smiled at him.

"Okay, well after that later tonight I found something you might be interested in, there's Comerica Park, which has a baseball game tonight if you were interested."

"What are you going to do?" He asked.

"I thought I might go to the Detroit symphony." He cringed and I laughed.

"Well let's head to the Motown museum place." I pulled out the directions and we headed out.

When we got to the museum they were doing group tours so we went ahead and joined up with one.

"Does she sound like a robot to you, or is that just me?" Derek whispered to me as our tour guide went on about something, I wasn't paying too much attention because as Derek so discreetly pointed out, she was boring. I giggled, and the lady next to me turned and shushed me which just made me laugh even harder.

Derek's POV

She's so beautiful when she smiles, and I like making her laugh. This tour was pretty boring, the stuff was cool but this lady made it seem like I was in class. I turned to Casey and whispered in her ear. "If she doesn't end this tour soon she might run out of battery life." I felt her shiver, and then she snickered. The lady next to us turned and shushed us again. Then she faced me.

"I don't see what's so funny, but if you don't get your girlfriend to stop laughing I'm going to tell the tour guide." And she turned back again. Casey just started laughing harder, and she was trying so hard not to make any noise, she turned and started laughing into my shoulder. The lady turned and glared and I just shrugged.

"Sorry ma'am. She does what she wants." Casey finally stopped laughing, and she let the group get in front of us until we were a few feet behind them.

"I'm sorry this wasn't as interesting as I made it seem to be." She said.

"Nah, its okay. The stuff is pretty interesting, just not with her talking." Casey giggled again. I'd do anything to keep that smile on her face. Oh god, I'm whipped. "Beside I'm having fun just hanging out with you." Casey opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. I mentally slapped my forehead, how could I be so awkward. I'm Derek Venturi; I'm supposed to be smooth and suave, not awkward and obvious. Sheesh. Casey blushed and smiled.

"Thanks. Me too." She looked ahead of us at all the tourists staring intently at the roboguide and turned back to me. "Let's leave. Go get lunch or something." Without waiting for a reply she headed for the exit. Of course I followed her.

Casey's POV

We were waiting for our food when Emily called.

"Em!" I said into the phone and she squealed back, Derek rolled his eyes. I stuck my tongue out at him. "Derek says hi." She said hi back and waited for me to repeat it. "Uh Em, I think he heard you." She laughed and lowered her volume.

"So how is the road trip?" She asked.

"Great!" I told her about the Motown museum and about Derek's jokes.

"That's great. So it seems like you two are getting along?" Derek got up to go to the bathroom.

"Yeah, we decided we should just start over. Leave behind all the high school stuff, no reputations, just really get to know each other. It should be really helpful when school starts."

"Mhmm, so how's that going for you?"

"Great, I think. We seem to be getting along, he's not being obnoxious, and I don't think I'm annoying him."

"That's it?" she asked, and she sounded frustrated.

"Yeah, why?" I waited for a response and she didn't say anything, Derek sat back down. "Emily?"

"I have to go, we'll talk later. Bye!" and the phone went click. I shrugged as the food came to the table.

"That was strange."

"What?" Derek said, already with a mouthful of food. I just rolled my eyes, boys will be boys.

"Emily. I don't know I was telling her about how we were getting along and she seemed kind of disappointed. Then she was like 'and that's all?' I'm a little confused." Derek started choking on his food, he took a sip of water and cleared his throat.

"Um, what did she say about that."

"Nothing she hung up. Are you okay?" he nodded his head and started talking about sports.

Okay, I know I said I would try to make chapters longer and I promise I will. Also, next chapter or the one after there will be a confession, but from who… Stay tuned to find out! :D
