Addison slowly awoke the next day and felt two arms around her. Her instant thought was Steve and she began to panic, trying to move out of his arms. She tried pushing him away making Derek wake up instantly. "What's going on? What's wrong?" He looked at Addison in concern. "Addison?" She tried to push him away again and Derek loosened his arms. "Addison it's okay, it's only me." He looked at her.
Addison looked up at him, realising that it wasn't Steve who had hold of her. "I…I thought you were Steve. I thought it was him who had hold of me."
"Shh, it's only me, and I'm not going to hurt you, I'll go if you want me to." Addison shook her head. "Okay, are you alright though?"
"Yeah, I just panicked a bit there."
"It's okay, did you sleep well?"
"Yeah, I did, thanks. Did you?" She looked up at him.
"I did." He smiled.
"Good." Addison just lay on her side facing him, and he did the same facing her. She gave a small yawn and let her eyes close again.
"Still tired?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'll just sleep a little longer…" Addison moved closer to him again, and he moved his arms to around her once more. He smiled down at her and watched as she fell back asleep once more.

Addison awoke again a few hours later and stretched, smiling to herself. She opened her eyes and turned to the space next to her, expecting to see Derek, but it was empty. She sat up and looked around her, before getting out of bed, opening the door and walking down the stairs. Addison looked into the lounge before she smelt cooking and she walked into the kitchen, smiling as she saw Derek there.
"Hey." She walked towards him.
"Hey." Derek smiled at her. "Sleep well?"
"Yeah thanks. What are you cooking?" She looked over his shoulder.
"Pancakes."
"Yum." She smiled. "Can you flip them?"
"Of course." He smirked.
"Go on then."
"Okay." Derek took a tight hold of the pan before he lifted it, flipping the pancake, letting it land back in the pan. Addison smiled and clapped. "Your turn now."
"Me?" She just looked at him. "I can't flip a pancake."
"Go on, give it a go."
"No, I can't."
"I'll show you. Come here, stand in front of me." Addison did what he'd asked. "Right, hold the handle of the pan tightly." She took hold of it like he'd said and he wrapped his hands over the top of hers. She felt a tingle run through her body. Derek stood behind Addison, her back pressed against his front, his arms around her and his hands on top of hers, tightly on the handle of the pan. "Ready?" He asked into her ear and all she could do was nod. "Okay, move with me." They lifted the pan up, and flipped the pancake. Addison just looked stunned and Derek smirked. "Didn't think you could, huh?"
"No." She shook her head. "But I wouldn't have been able to do that if you hadn't have done it with me."
"True, but with practice you'll be able to flip a pancake." He smiled at her. "How many pancakes would you like?"
"I don't mind."
"Want to help me make the rest and flip them?" Derek raised an eyebrow.
"Okay." She didn't feel like moving from his arms, just yet. They continued to make a few more pancakes, so they'd four each, before they sat down at the island and began to eat. It was the first time Addison hadn't bothered to cover her arms up, and she was surprised that Derek wasn't that bothered in them, he didn't look at her differently.
"Any plans for today?" he asked breaking the silence.
"No, you?" She looked up at him as she finished eating.
"Nope, just spending the day with you." Derek smiled at her.
"Okay." She was happy to be spending the whole day with him. "Anything in particular you want to do, then?" She stood up and took the plates to the dishwasher.
"Nope, you?"
"Not really."
"How about I take you to a theme park?" Derek smiled.
"Okay, sounds fun."
"Good. I'll go home and change and come back to pick you up, you might want to wear your hair back though." He smirked.
"Okay." Addison smiled.
"See you in a bit." Derek left the house and Addison walked upstairs to get ready.
--
Half an hour later Derek stood at Addison's front door ringing her doorbell. He heard movement before the door was opened and Addison stood there, wearing cropped jeans and a tight fitting top with a wrap top over her arms, so her scars were covered but she wouldn't get too hot. "You look nice." He commented.
"Thanks." She blushed. "You don't look bad either."
Derek smiled. "Let's go then." Addison smiled as well and stepped out of the house, locking the door behind her. "I hope you're not afraid of heights."
"No, I'm not."
"Good." He smiled and offered her his arm, which she took. "Let's go then." They made their way to the theme park.
--
"What about this ride?" Derek smiled at Addison who just looked scared.
"You want me to go on that?!" She pointed to the ride and watched the people scream on it.
"Come on, it'll be fun." He smirked and dragged her to the line.
"You can't be serious, it's just so…"
"It'll be fun." They stepped forward as more people were let on for the next go. "We'll be next, after this one I mean." He just smiled as he watched Addison watch the ride.
"But it's just so tall!" The ride stood tall in the air, and you sat around in a square facing out. It would shoot you up then bring you back down and repeat it for a while, before it held you at the very top, then without warning bring you back down.
"Don't worry, it'll be fun." Addison just looked at him. "Come on." He pulled her along as it was their turn to get on the ride. They sat next to each other; Addison gripped hold of the bar tightly though they were strapped in securely. "Don't hold it too tight, or your hand will go numb." He found this amusing.
"Fine." She let go slightly. They heard the countdown begin for them to be shot upwards. Addison let out a loud scream along with many other people as the ride started, making Derek chuckle. She grabbed hold of his hand and held onto it for dear life, screaming as well.
Once they had stopped at the top, he turned to look at her. "Having fun?"
"I am going to hurt you when I get off this bloody ride."
"Okay." He smirked and felt her grip on his hand tightened as the ride dropped them.
Once they were off the ride Addison turned to Derek and smacked him slightly in the chest. "Ouch! What was that for?"
"Making me go on that ride!"
"Oh, come on, you liked it, even if you were screaming." He chuckled again, but she just looked at him. "So you didn't like it then?"
"I'm never letting you bring me to a theme park again." She pouted.
"Aww why not?" He smiled and moved closer to her.
"Because you make me go on scary rides!"
He laughed and wrapped his arm around her pulling her close. "I know you loved it really." She turned to look at him pouting, making him smile at her expression. "It wasn't that bad." He looked down into her eyes, and she felt herself starting to drown in his. Everything stopped around them, and she slowly stood on tiptoes, inching her face closer to his. Derek felt her breath hit his lips, and he moved his face closer to hers.
Suddenly out of no where someone came running past and knocked into Addison, sending her flying to Derek's arms where he caught her before she could hurt herself. "Are you okay?" He looked down at her, the moment broken.
"Yeah, I am, thanks." She stood up properly but Derek kept a hold of her arms.
"People should look where they're going, he could have hurt you."
"I'm alright."
"Come on, let's go get something to eat."
--
A while later, they stood at a stall, with Derek trying to win a prize. He shot all that he needed to shoot, and won a big teddy bear. "Thank you." He smiled and took the bear from the stall holder and turned to Addison. "Here." He gave her the teddy.
"No, you won it, you keep it, or give it to one of your sisters."
"No, I won it for you." He smiled.
"Thank you." She smiled and took the bear, hesitating before she pecked his cheek. He smiled back at her and took hold of her hand.
"Let's go get some candyfloss." Derek pulled her towards the cotton candy stall and bought them some. "Enjoy." He smiled and took a bite of his. Addison smiled and did the same. They slowly walked away from the stall. "Erm." He stopped them. "You have a bit, right there." He wiped the corner of her mouth where the cotton candy was, leaving his thumb there, gently brushing her lips. Addison just looked up into his eyes, and felt herself drowning in them again. Slowly Derek lowered his lips to hers, and softly kissed her. Addison kissed him back gently, her cotton candy falling to the floor as she wrapped that arm around his neck, while his arms moved to around her waist.
After a while they pulled back, and Derek let his forehead rest against hers. Neither knew what to say, so just looked at each other. "I dropped my cotton candy." She smiled at him.
"It's okay, you can share mine."
Diane stood back and watched as Addison kissed this other boy, she was going straight to Steve and tell him, technically, Addison hadn't broken up with him, so therefore, was still his girlfriend. She got her phone out of her pocket and dialled Steve's number, watching Addison the whole time.
"Any other rides you want to go on?" Derek asked and wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Not really."
He nodded and ate some cotton candy. "Want some?" He offered it to her.
"Please." She took a bite and smiled at him.
"We could go catch a movie later if you want to?"
"Sure, I want to see Mamma Mia, it looks good." She smiled and he rolled his eyes. "It's not that bad."
"Whatever you say."
"Why hello there." They turned around to see Steve stood there smugly. "Now I have a question for you buddy, what are you doing kissing MY girlfriend?"
"I'm not your girlfriend anymore."
"I don't remember breaking up with you." He took a step towards her and Derek pulled her back and stood in front of her.
"You don't get to touch her anymore." Derek glared at Steve.
"You don't get to say who I get to touch and don't, she's MY girlfriend not yours, so back off mate."
"No, I'm not going to let you hurt her again, ever." Derek made sure Addison was behind him and that Steve couldn't reach her.
"Want a bet?"
"I'm not letting you touch her again." Derek stood taller than Steve and could easily take him in a fight.
"We'll just see about that." Steve took a step towards Derek and clenched his hand into a fist.
Derek pushed Addison back a bit so she wouldn't get hurt. "Go on then." Steve pulled his hand back and swung it towards Derek, who grabbed it and twisted his arm behind his back. "You don't get to touch her." Steve tried to pull his arm away but yelped out in pain. "Now leave us alone." Derek pushed him away and walked back to Addison, pulling her close again. "Come on, let's go." They walked out of the theme park, leaving Steve behind.
Addison just held the teddy close and walked next to Derek. He looked down at her and just pulled her closer, hoping that Steve wouldn't bother her again. "Let's go home." He checked to make sure Steve wasn't following and tightened his grip around Addison.
