I DO NOT OWN SMASH OR ANY OF ITS AMAZING CHARACTERS!

A/N: I had Derek admit his feelings so soon because I think that once he knows he wants something, it becomes his goal to get it and I think he realized that he had feelings for her in the Season Finale. I'm not trying to objectify Karen or anything, I just think that he doesn't like the feeling of not having her interested in him. And I also wanted to get a bit of flirting in that last chapter because I like when Karen's flustered and I want her to gradually realize her feelings towards him, whatever they may be.

Previously on Our Day Will Come (Sorry about the typo in the title on the last chapter.)

He tenderly pulled me into a hug and whispered in my ear. "You're a strong woman, love. And about being possessive, the girl who I'm in love with is pretty bad at hiding it." He slowly placed a light caring kiss on my forehead before walking away.

I stood there dumbfounded.

_Derek POV_

I am in love with Karen Cartwright.

NEXT MORNING

The sun was shining through the drapes and straight into my eyes as I lay in bed. Getting that drink with Derek was not a good idea. I didn't get drunk or anything, but my time with him didn't alleviate or calm my stress at all. It just made everything more complicated. A long sigh escaped my lips as I smushed my face into the pillow. Is this possible? Am I really pondering the thought of being in a relationship with Derek?...I AM!

I slowly stepped out of my nice warm bed and onto the rough carpet. I dragged my feet all the way to my bathroom to look at myself.

"WOW! I seriously look like I got hit by a bus." Wonderful.

I turned on the hot water in the shower and took off my clothes. As I was stepping in, I heard a knock at the hotel room door. Great. I wrapped a towel around me and walked towards the knocking Whoever was on the other side of it sure was persistent. The knocking continued and I thought it could only be one person.

I swung open the door angrily "Dev... how many times do I.." I looked up and was met with a smirk from Derek.

"Oh God." I stood like a deer in headlights. "So sorry! I thought you were.."

"I know exactly who you thought I was. First the keys and now this. How do we keep finding ourselves in the same situations?" I let out an uncomfortable laugh. Feeling very exposed in just a towel.

He opened the door wider and walked into my room. "Umm, well as you can see..I was just about to get in the shower. Soooo"

"Oh don't worry I'll wait here."

"Oookay, I guess..." Why in the world did he want to stay in my room while I was in the shower? "I'll be out in 5."

"No rush." I lightly shook my head and walked quickly back into the bathroom, locking the door behind me.

I was extra-quick in the shower. God only knows what he was doing out there. I wrapped the towel tightly around me and cracked open the bathroom door.

"Don't worry, I didn't touch anything." Once again reading my mind.

He stood up from his chair and I stepped back. Noting my reaction, he slowly stalked his way over to me and leaned in so close that faces were inches apart "No need to be flustered love." My breathing quickened and I was drawn in by his cologne. "I was just going to wait in the hall while you changed."

He turned and I cleared my throat. Why does he have such an effect on me?

I quickly changed into a sundress and a pair of sandals. I towel dried my hair and left it naturally curly.

After about 5 minutes he called through the door."Are you done in there Karen?"

"Yeah." I replied

He walked back into my room and leisurely sat on the bed. "Do you have any plans for today?"

"I was probably going to meet Jessica to make up for ditching her last night." As if on cue my phone buzzed. Derek got to it before I could.

1 NEW TXT MESSAGE FROM JESS :) :) :)

Hayyy! I, along with the ENTIRE ensemble, totes saw u with D last night. How was ur d8? Give me all the deets! UR welcome 4 the info on his whereabouts btw! How bout we grab lunch? 3 u!

He read it out loud as I stood completely embarrassed. "Give me that!" I quickly snatched it out of his hands.

"What love, don't want me to know that you're secretly madly in love with me?" I inhaled sharply.

I was sure my face was tomato red "Jess is delusional. She loves gossip and that's all that message was." That was a terrible attempt at defending myself.

"Oh, yes, because it is oh so delusional that we could possibly be in love with each other." He said sarcastically

I choked on air. In love with EACH OTHER? "Ha." I desperately wanted to get off this topic pronto. "Why did you come to my room anyway?"

"Because we're going out."

"We?"

"Yes, we" He stood and grabbed his coat from the chair. "Tell Jess you can't do lunch because you have to go out with 'D'" He smirked and put air-quotes around Jess' nickname for him "I'm sure she'd understand."

"Fine I will." I sent a short reply to Jessica

Wasn't a d8 just dinner! Theres no deets to tell, and I feel rlly bad but i can't grab lunch. He apparently made plans 4 us somewhere. b4 you jump 2 conclusions were just going as friends. No funny business. lol ttyl

I gave him the once over. " Don't you have a different coat?"

"What, you don't fancy this one?"

"It's just... it makes you look like the guy from the matrix." He let out a full laugh.

"I happen to love his jacket." He put his hand over his heart in mock-offense

"Alright Keanu."

"Let's go love." He smiled at me, a very cute smile, I might add. He put out his hand out as a cue for me to hold it, so I did.

"Where exactly are we going?" I questioned.

"Back to the theatre."

"Why?"

"Were gonna watch you play Marilyn." He stated as we stepped into the elevator.

"Okay."

"You sound disappointed." He gave me a questioning glance

"I'm not disappointed, I just thought that by going out you meant out to lunch."

"Don't worry, you still get your one on one time with me."

"Oh Mr. Wills, what makes you think that I wanted to go to lunch with you for one on one time? If anything there are more people there." I said with a sly smile in an attempt to be witty, but the tables quickly turned.

"What's wrong Ms. Cartwright? Are you afraid that if we were alone, something might happen and you might just like it?" I decided I wouldn't fall victim to his flirting that often makes me look like a babbling idiot.

"You're such a flirt." I stated matter-of-factly.

"Don't pretend you don't like it when I flirt with you" he stroked his thumb across the inside of my wrist.

"Ha." An amused laugh escaped my lips.

_Derek POV_

She didn't deny it.

_Karen POV_

The elevator doors opened but he blocked me from stepping out. He was getting awfully close to my face "I can see how red you turn whenever I get close to you. Even now I can tell you just looked at my mouth. You can't deny it Karen." He lightly brushed a piece of hair out of my eyes. I felt his breath on my lips. We were centimeters apart. My breathing was heavy. We both leaned in and I closed my eyes.

"Come on, we don't want our cab to leave." My eyes snapped open and I saw him already standing outside the elevator. "And you say you don't like my flirting."

I never said that.

A/N: HOT! HOT! HOT!

I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I did writing it. Oh and your reviews matter, I incorporated someone's very good idea into the story. For the reviewer who said they have great ideas but don't think their writing is good, just try it. It helps me to picture it in my head and transfer it as similar as possible onto paper. Be very descriptive because it helps set the scene and makes it more realistic. If anyone didn't get the allusion about the keys, I was referring to when he came to her apartment to apologize and she opened the door in her lingerie, thinking that it was Dev. Read and Review!
