AN: I don't own LWD
*T-RATED SCENE*
Chapter 15
Casey POV
On our fifth month anniversary, Derek decided to take me out for dinner. We had a wonderful time at a Chinese food restaurant where Derek paid for the whole meal. During the dinner I decided to ask him something that was pressing my mind. I took a deep breath then started, "So what do you think about sex?" Derek practically spit out his food. "DER-REK!" I shrieked. "I'm sorry, I was just shocked. I thought you would want to wait a lot longer, or I thought that I would be the one to initiate it." He said smirking. "Well it's just that we are graduating in a few weeks and I love you, and I'm starting to finally feel really comfortable and less scared about Truman." She said innocently. "I mean yeah, I'm open to it for sure. But I want to make sure that you're comfortable and not just doing it because you think that's what I want." Derek said grabbing my hands. "Is it because you don't want me like that?" I asked starting to get upset. He seemed to sense this so he slid in the booth next to me. He gently lifted my chin up to look me in the eyes. "Hey hey hey, don't get upset. I really want to be with you, like that more than anything. But I just don't want to make you do something you'll regret then you will resent me and I just don't want that." He said softly. "No I want this too." I replied. "Well ok then, Just let me know when and where."
Derek POV
That night as I laid in bed I thought about that dinner conversation. I was shocked at how Casey just brought that up. I wasn't sure how I felt about it, because sure sex with Casey sounded amazing, but I wasn't sure if she was ready for it with just what happened with Truman and her recently. My thoughts were disrupted by a soft knock on the door. I walked up and opened the door. There stood Casey in a t-shirt and athletic shorts. She walked in a followed me to the bed. "I'm ready" She whispered starting to kiss me. "Ok" I said getting ready. As we lay on the bed, our kisses started getting deeper and deeper. As we were about to start about to undress Casey starts to whimper, then starts crying. "Hey Case what's wrong?" I asked deeply concerned. She then just started sobbing harder and I just hugged her tighter. "Baby, please tell me what's wrong." She took a deep breath then started, "I'm s-s-sorry.. I thought I was ready but then I was thinking about Truman and I got scared, but I don't want to let you down." She said, tears falling heavily down her face. "Hey Case, you have nothing to be sorry about. I'm glad you told me before. And Truman will never hurt you again, I promise. I'm here to protect you now, ok?" I say gently, wiping her tears way. We just stayed there together, holding each other, and slowly we both fell asleep.
The next morning we woke up together, where we laid in bed together until late morning. "Hi." She said groggily pressing a kiss on the bottom of my chin. "Hey." I replied, kissing her on top of the head. "I have to get up now. I have stuff to do." She said quickly hopping out of my bed. That was weird I thought to myself, but I quickly brushed it off because I knew she probably had a keener responsibility. With that aside I went back to sleep.
Casey POV
Last night was too intense for me, and I had no idea what I was thinking when I brought up sex to Derek. I was so embarrassed with myself. To ease myself I decided to distract myself with college things. I was accepted early to Queen's University and I couldn't be more excited. Graduation was coming up and then I knew summer would fly by. I decided to go out shopping for school supplies. I drove to the store and bought myself some new sheets, pillows, and a small throw rug for my bedroom floor. I then bought myself a new desk chair for my new desk that Mom and George gave to me for an early Graduation present.
After I was done buying supplies, I thought I would treat myself by buying some new clothes for college. I bought a few pairs of leggings and sweatpants. I also bought some sweaters and finally this beautiful black dress that I would use for special occasion. As I drove home my worries came back to me. I had thought that if we had sex then we would stay connected forever. The truth was that I'm scared for graduation. Everyone expects me to be all ready and prepared, but I'm not, I'm scared to leave home and high school. I was scared to leave Derek, he wasn't even sure where he was going yet. I soon pulled into the driveway and quietly walked into the house. Derek was sitting in his recliner watching a hockey game. He quickly turned to me as I opened the door. "Hey Casey." he replied. "Hi Derek," I said softly. "Do you wanna go for a walk?" He asked already standing up.
We walked to the park and sat down on our normal bench. We sat in silence for a minute before Derek finally spoke up. "You've been kind of distant since last night. You seem worried and like your mind is somewhere else. What's wrong?" He asked me. He knew me too well. "It's nothing, just something I need to get over." I replied. "Case, please tell me. I just want to help you." Derek said sincerely, grabbing my hand. "I'm just so embarrassed because of last night. I thought that if we had sex that we would then have this bond that would make us unbreakable. But then I knew I wasn't ready after what happened with Truman I knew it would be a while before I was ready. Derek, I'm scared of the future, I'm scared for college and I'm scared of us being pulled apart." I said honestly, feeling better just getting those thoughts out. Derek quickly replied, "You have nothing to be embarrassed about, you just weren't ready. That's perfectly fine. An why are you so scared for the future? You are strong, smart, dedicated, beautiful, tough, ambitious, and charming to name a few things. You are going to kick butt in college, and if you get homesick you are just a few hours away. But I don't understand where your nervousness about us is coming from." I replied, " Well who knows what college you're going to, we could be far apart! I just don't want us to end." I said sadly. "Hey, I applied to Queen's, I could get accepted, you never know. But even if I don't get accepted there and I get accepted somewhere farther, we are going to be just fine. We are going to stay together because we are it, we are the true love you look for and hold on to when you get it. Ok?" He said gently making my eyes look into his. "Ok " I said softly, feeling truly relieved.
Derek POV
A few weeks later I was driving home from Sam's house and when I arrive home I opened the mailbox. In the mailbox there was a huge packet for me that said it was from Queen's University. I quickly ran inside and yelled for Casey, I wanted to read it with her. "CASEY COME DOWN HERE QUICKLY!" I yelled at the bottom of the stairs. "What is it?" She asked jogging down the stairs. I just simply waved the envelope and her eyes widened. "AHH QUEEN'S! OPEN IT OPEN IT!" She squealed and ran to me. "Open it with me." I said, suddenly very nervous. I opened the letter and there it read, I was accepted. I turned to Casey, both of us too shocked to speak. Then all of the sudden we screamed with joy, and I picked her up and twirled her around. "What's going on her?" Nora asked coming up from her room with George just as Lizzie, Edwin, and Marti came down the stairs, just as curious as Nora. "I got into Queen's." I said breathlessly with a smile. Everyone cheered and congratulated me. I suddenly was very excited for the future.
That night I was laying on the bed with my arm around Casey's shoulder. "Can you believe it? We're going to Queen's together, this is going to be some amazing." I said very exciting. I wouldn't admit this but Queen's University had always been my dream school ever since I was little. Casey nuzzled my neck in reply and said, "Thanks to you, I'm getting excited for the future." I kissed her on her temple and we just lie there, both of us feeling an excitement for the future.
Kind of a filler chapter, but I thought it was cute. Sadly this song is almost at the end. But don't worry I already have an epilogue and new stories in my mind. Thanks for reading, and please review!
