AN: I don't own LWD
#42 The Top
The sun was blazing. Clear blue skies with clouds as fluffy as cotton candy. The perfect day for a hike, or so Casey thought. Derek had some other thoughts about the whole thing.
"Case why do we have to do this now? It's too early for this." Derek whined to his girlfriend as she powered up ahead of him on the large dusty trails. "Yes, we do. It's a gorgeous day out!" She replied, "Now c'mon slow poke!" She demanded, picking up her pace, Derek following behind, picking up his own pace.
About a half hour later, the couple finally reached the top of the hill. Derek's whining soon ceased when looked at is current surroundings. You could see beyond great distances, trees and trees in one direction, houses and cities in the other. "Wow." Derek whispered, taking a breath as he looked around him. "I know right." She replied, just as amazed by the view.
Casey stepped closer to the edge, and Derek followed behind her, wrapping his arms around her from behind. "I could stay here forever." Casey said quietly, nuzzling her head into the crook of Derek's neck. "Me too." Derek agreed, kissing the top of her head. "Glad you came on the hike?" Casey asked, surprised at how much he ended up liking the hike and view. "Well the view is amazing, but I meant with you. I could stay forever just with you, nothing else and I would be more than happy." He said shyly. Casey turned around to face him, she wrapped her arms around his neck. "You are so sweet Derek Venturi." She smiled, and leaned up on her tippy toes to kiss Derek on the cheek. "Only for you." He replied with a smile, and she nuzzled into him more, Derek wrapping his large arms around her body, and the two just took in the view, enjoying the view, but mostly just enjoying the company of each other.
