AN: I don't own LWD

Note: In this One-Shot Derek and Casey do not know each other, no relationship before this.

#14 Club

"No, I don't want to go to a club tonight!" Casey whined to her best friend Emily. "Casey you are going! You can't keep moping around about the breakup, Josh was a total douche and you deserve so much better." Casey gave a big pout and the puppy dog face to Emily. "None of that Casey, we've taken you to a ton of clubs, dragged you to the dance floor, but you're just not here. You gotta get your groove back babe." Emily said with a half smile. "Fine." Casey replied with a sigh.

The two girls got dressed; Emily with her hair curly, a silver sequined tank top and a black mini skirt. Casey, with Emily's encouragement, decided on a red column dress with her hair straightened. The two waited for their other friends to arrive, then they were off to the club.

ON THE OTHER SIDE OF TOWN

"What do you think of the girl's here tonight?" Ralph asked Derek as they walked into a club that night, "Too early to tell." Derek said simply. They walked into the club and immediately went to the dance floor.

An hour later Derek, alone, hit the bar to get a drink, and then he saw her. This girl with beautiful brunette hair and a pretty face sitting alone at the bar. She had to be the most beautiful girl Derek had ever seen, and Derek had seen many pretty girls, but no other girl could compare to this mystery girl. He didn't want to seem creepy, so first he tried to get her attention from across the bar. She seemed sad, broken, almost numb; Derek wanted to know this girl. He finally caught her attention after a few minutes of trying, when she looked up at him, Derek was breathless. Her eyes were a turquoise-blue color that were sparkling, yet piercing, as if she could see right into his soul.

After a few minutes of eye flirting, Derek was about to approach her when his friends, Ralph and Sam, came running up to him. "The babes tonight are incredible!" Ralph exclaimed as Ralph and Sam sat on a bar stool on both sides of Derek. When Derek looked back up, the girl was gone.

Weeks later, Derek still couldn't get that girl out of his head. He went to that same club every Friday for weeks. He never could find her, until about two months later. Derek was about to give up for a while, when he finally found her again. He saw her dancing with her friends, and then we she finally gave up and sat back down at the bar, Derek finally mustered up the courage to approach her.

He sat down quietly on the bar stool right next to her. He was actually nervous, which made him even more nervous because Derek was never scared of girls. But this girl, was something special, and Derek didn't want just a one night stand with her, he saw something real with this girl.

He took a deep breath and started, "H-hi" he finally stammered out. She looked surprised that Derek was talking to her. "Hi." She said uncertainly. Derek thought she was even more beautiful up close. "My name is Derek. I saw you a while ago here at this club." She nodded and replied, "Yeah I remember you. My name is Casey." She pulled her hand out for me to shake.

We were talking for hours when I finally blurted out, "God you're so beautiful." I immediately froze, fearing that she would just think all I wanted was a hook up. Casey blushed and looked down. She then replied modestly, "I'm so not, but thank you, that's really sweet." I was stunned, how did she not see how gorgeous she was, both inside and out.

Sam and Ralph then came up to the two, "We are heading out, are you ready?" they asked Derek. Derek looked at Casey then replied, "Nah. I think I'm going to talk with Casey for a while longer." The two then left, leaving Casey and Derek to talk some more.

After a while later, Casey checked her phone, and it read 2:00 A.M. "I should probably get going. Would you like to walk me home? I only live a few blocks away." Casey asked. "I'd love to." Derek replied.

The two walked to Casey's apartment in a comfortable silence. It was quite cold in Toronto at this time in the morning, so Derek wrapped his jacket around Casey, which she held close to her body.

When they finally reach Casey's apartment, Derek was sad, he didn't want the night to end. As they stood on Casey's apartment stoop, Casey handed Derek's jacket back to him. Derek finally asked, "Would you like to go on a date sometime? Maybe to dinner or something?" Casey looked pleased and replied, "Yeah I would like that very much. Let's exchange numbers." The two quickly entered their numbers into the other's phones, and Derek pecked Casey on the cheek goodnight.

The pair were texting each other non-stop, and made plans to go to a nice dinner. When the night finally arrived, Derek was a nervous wreck. He wanted everything to go well with Casey. He put on a gray suit and combed his hair, he then drove to her apartment and knocked on her door. Casey arrived at the door a moment later, looking beautiful in a black flowing skirt, and a lilac long sleeve shirt.

The date went amazing, they got along so well, it was hard to believe they had only just met each other. Their chemistry was so great and conversation just flowed naturally. After their date they immediately made plans to go out again.

As Derek walked Casey to her door, Casey caught Derek by surprise and she kissed him. This kiss was something out of a fairytale, neither Casey nor Derek had ever experienced such a kiss.

Once they broke away, Casey's cheek blushed a rosy color. "Goodnight Derek." She replied and closed the door. Derek was on cloud nine for days after that kiss.

A week later Casey call Derek and invited him to her apartment. She looked cute in messy bun, yoga pants, and a baggy sweatshirt. "Hey Case." Derek greeted as he walked into her apartment. "You have a nice place." He commented as he looked around. "Thanks, you can make yourself at home. Do you want a drink?" She offered. "Yes please!" He replied, sitting down on her couch.

As she sat down and handed Derek his drink she looked nervous. "Is there something wrong Casey?" Derek asked, suddenly concerned. "I hope not." She replied, she took a deep breath and continued, "I was just wondering what was happening here. Like are we dating, is this open, or are we just a short casual fling. I was in a really bad relationship not too long ago and right now the only two things I'm interested in is either being in a serious and caring relationship or being single. I don't want just a fling or some open relationship and if that's what you want then I'm sorry because it won't be happening with me." Casey finished, looking at Derek nervously. "Casey, the first time I saw you, I instantly felt the need to get to know you. You were beautiful and I felt like you already knew me, and I just had to get to know you. As soon as we started talking, I knew I had hit the jackpot. I want to be with you in a serious relationship, and I would never be stupid enough to treat you bad like your ex did. Casey I think I'm in love with you." Derek finished looking at her genuinely, grabbing her small hands.

Derek then pulled Casey onto his lab and kissed her deeply in a way that erased her fears and instead awakened her heart to love again.
