I know it's out late but I got stuck on the next part and spent hours trying to figure it out with no avail. I didn't want you guys to keep on waiting so I went ahead and posted it


Chapter 7: Sweet Disaster

Casey's foot hit the last step as she smiled at Truman while secretly thinking nothing would go wrong.

"Casey," Truman smiled. "Don't you look hot," he said before he saw Derek right behind her causing his smile to widen. "Venturi."

"Truman," Derek said not able to hide the jealousy or hardness in his voice.

Before anyone could say anything else, the door opened causing everyone's eyes to shift to Sally, who just entered.

"Hi guys," Sally said while feeling awkward and wondering what she had just walked into. "Um, your door was open and no one was answering so I just let myself in."

While Casey and Derek looked awkward and guilty, Truman looked slightly amused. "You must be Sally," Truman replied. "Casey told me that you and Derek used to date. Are you two love birds doing anything this evening?"

"Um, yeah, Sally and I were just going to watch a movie here and hang out." Derek answered.

"Really?" Truman said intrigued causing Casey, who appeared nervous about his tone of voice, to look over at Truman.

"Truman," Casey warned with a glare.

"Would you guys rather join us for dinner tonight?" Truman asked ignoring Casey's pleas.

"No!" Derek replied quickly. "I mean we'd rather be alone," he covered.

"Derek, can we talk alone for one second," Sally said tugging on Derek's arm. She pulled Derek with her into the kitchen.

"Are you out of your mind?!" Casey said restraining herself from screaming and hitting Truman once Derek and Sally were out of sight.

"Chill, Casey, I've got it covered," Truman replied.


Derek crossed his arms over his chest. "No," Derek said already knowing where this was going.

"Oh, come on, Derek," Sally begged. "This gives you a perfect opportunity to get back at Casey and make her jealous."


"Oh, really?" Casey laughed. "Then how do you explain this?!"

"I thought you wanted to make Derek jealous," Truman replied with a smirk.

"I do but them coming along to our fake date was not the plan. Derek was just supposed to see us going out and coming in not sit through the whole date with us. How is this going to work?" Casey explained losing her hope in her plan actually succeeding.

Truman put his arm around Casey's shoulder. "Come on Casey, think about it. If Derek goes on the pretend date with us then you could make him even more jealous instead of him simply thinking we went on a date,"


"Fine, we'll go just don't make me regret this," Derek sighed and closed his eyes for a second wondering what he just got himself into. Sally happily squealed before walking back to where Casey and Truman were and dragging Derek with her. Narrowing his eyes, Derek spotted Truman's arm around Casey's shoulder.

"Well, are we ready to leave?" Sally asked smiling at the other three occupants in the room.

"Why not?" Casey mumbled to herself before following the others out the door.


Derek's eyes narrowed as he took in the sight of Truman whispering in Casey's ear and her soft giggles falling shortly after. Maybe I should rethink this, he thought until he caught sight of where Truman's hand was going. Nah, it'll be worth the while.

Casey's eyes darted over to Derek and Sally whom were both siting and seemed contempt. Derek's hand rested on Sally's upper leg and Sally was leaned into Derek's body. They make the perfect couple, Casey thought bitterly

"You guys do realize that your not the only two in the room," Derek interrupted as he saw Truman lean in to kiss Casey or more likely to make out with her.

"Maybe if you had a brain then I would actually acknowledge your existence," Casey fired back at him while glaring at him.

"Ouch, Casey! That hurt," Derek mocked rubbing his heart and appearing to be hurt by her words.

Before Casey could continue the argument further a blond waitress interrupted to take the orders. Casey noticed how the girl would look at Derek, who payed no attention to her. That's weird, usually Derek would be all over an girl that flirted with him especially a blond. What's gotten in to him? Now he's being rude to her. Derek being rude is normal but Derek being rude to pretty blonde is weird.

"Casey!" Truman's vice brought her back to reality.

"Huh?" Casey answered oblivious to what was going on. Why is everyone staring at me?

"You okay, Case?" Derek asked with a weird expression on his face.

"Why do you care?" Casey snapped back at him.

"I don't!"

"Then stop acting like you do!"

"Fine."

"Fine."

They fell into an awkward silence with the occasional glances and the conversations of the occupants in Smelly Nelly's. All of a sudden Casey felt a foot traveling up her leg making her jump. She looked across over at Derek who seemed to be smirking. Why is he- Oh! That jerk! Casey was all too aware of where Derek's foot was going.

"De-rek!" Casey screamed out.

"What did I do?" Derek asked putting on the dumb and innocent act.

"You just- you know-UGH!" Casey exclaimed frustrated and stood out of her seat. "Sorry, Truman, Sally, but I can't even have a civilized dinner with Derek. Now if you'll excuse me," Casey said and started to walk out.

"Hey, Casey," Derek called after her. "Since when did you get all slutty."

Casey turned around to look at him with tears forming in her yes. "Derek, how could you?" Casey asked horrified. She walked out ignoring Derek's plea.
