Thanks for all the reviews again I feel really special! The next chapters coming at ya! Oh and btw sorry for updating so late I've been at the beach for spring break baby!
As they walked Derek was leading at a slow pace.
"Don't be a cabbage!" Massie said walking ahead.
"A cabbage?" He asked confused and amused.
"Oh sorry in Britain that's what we call slow people." Massie said explaining.
"Oh. Wait I'm not a cabbage!" He said speeding up.
"Oh yea you are." Massie said giggling.
"We'll see about that first one to the ice cream parlor wins."
"There's just one problem."
"What?" Derek asked.
"I don't know where it is." Massie said.
"Oh well see that big neon ice cream sign?" He asked pointing to a sign.
"Yes I do."
"That's it." He said and Massie started sprinting.
"Hey no fair you got a head start!" Derek yelled after her.
In the end Massie had beaten him by about a second because he tripped over a curb.
"I win! That means you have to pay for my ice cream." Massie said and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Fine." He said pulling out his wallet. When they got up to the counter Massie ordered.
"Mint chocolate chip in a cake cone." She said.
"Rocky road in a cake cone." Derek said.
After Derek paid they headed to a small table.
"I'm surprised you actually got ice cream instead of just water." Derek said making an observation.
"Why, we're at an ice cream parlor aren't we?" Massie asked.
"Well yea but all the girls from around here are scared to eat in front of boys." Derek said smiling.
"That's the gayest thing I've ever heard." Massie said laughing out loud.
"Hey, that's Westchester girls for you." Derek said.
"Well then I'm glad I'm not a Westchester girl." She said smiling.
"You are now." Derek said.
"Hopefully not for long." Massie said sadly.
"You don't like Westchester?" he asked.
"I mean it's fine I guess I just miss home in Britain where all my friends are and where I know where everything is and where there's actually lakes and oceans." Massie said.
"Well there's a lake about an hour from here." Derek said almost as if he was compromising with her.
"Really?" she asked.
"Yea, my family has a house down there." Derek said.
"Well then that's where I'm dragging Cam next weekend!" Massie said excitedly.
"Why do you want to go to the lake so bad?"
"So I can sail."
"You sail?"
"All the time. Cam does too."
"He's never mentioned that before." Derek said.
"Cam and I sailed almost everyday when we were in Nantucket. We competed in sailing competitions too." Massie said.
"Really?"
"Really, and I've got the trophies to prove it."
"That's pretty cool." Derek said.
"So what other activities do you do?" Derek asked.
"Well I love golf, I dance, horse back riding, and a little bit of lacrosse." Massie said.
"Dang girl that's a lot."
"Eh." She said shrugging.
"Do you play golf?" Massie asked Derek.
"I've never played." Derek said.
"Well then Sunday I'm going to teach you."
"No, that's not necessary." Derek said.
"Well, I have to have someone to play golf with while I'm here."
"Play with Cam then."
"Cam hates golf. Please Derek."
"Fine you can teach me but I'm not agreeing to play with you more than once." Derek said matter of factly.
"Oh you will, trust me." Massie said.
"By the way, you know Claire will never let Cam go to the lake with you." Derek said leaning back in his chair after finishing his ice cream.
"Why not?" Massie asked.
"Claire sees you as a threat." Derek said
"What? Me a threat? Heck no!" Massie said.
"Heck yes! Your pretty, smart, and you've known Cam longer. In her eyes if she lets you hang out with him, he's going to wanna go out with you."
"Well then she's going to have to get over it."
"What if she doesn't let Cam hang out with you though?"
"Well if she doesn't and cam listens to her then I'm not going to want to hang out with Cam anyways." Massie said.
"Feisty." Derek smiled as she got up and walked to the door.
Derek followed suit. Then Massie turned to him making them incredibly close and said
"By the way thanks Derek."
"For?" he asked.
"One for the ice cream. Two for calling me pretty." She said smirking and scampering out.
