The One They Call..Val (Dancing With The Stars)

Night

I just walked out of Doyle Enterprises when I got a call on my phone. I stopped walking and set my purse down on a bench and fished out my phone. Val's face lit up my screen. I smiled and answered it as I placed my bag on my shoulder. Hey. I said with a smile as I walked towards my car. Hey babe. I could hear the smile on his voice. I laughed. What's up? I asked. I'm about to head to the studio right now. I could hear the clatter of keys in the background. What are you doing? he asked. Just getting out of work. I replied as I arrived at my car. I unlocked it and got inside. I set my bag down on the passenger seat. How was work? he asked. It was good, it always is. I replied as I started up the car and put my phone on speaker. I buckled up.  Where you going now? he asked. Home, I'm tired. I said letting out a yawn. I could hear him laugh. You want to come watch rehearsal? he asked. I thought it. I'm really tired, bae. I replied as I drove. Pleaseeee? he asked. Noooo. I said with a laugh. I'll be at the house when you get home. I replied with a laugh. I'm looking forward to seeing you. Val replied. I laughed. Val, you saw me this morning. I said. That's so many hours ago. he replied. I laughed. You're something else, Valentin. Derek's at the house, right? I asked. Yeah, he's watching a game. he replied. I nodded. Okay, I'll see you whenever you get home; don't stay out to late. I said with a laugh. He laughed. I'll see you soon, babe. he replied. See you soon. I said with a smile. Love you, babe. he replied. I smiled as a blush formed on my cheeks. I love you too. I replied ending the call and pulling into Derek and Val's driveway. I parked my car and grabbed my bag and phone. I walked to the door and knocked. A few seconds later, Derek was standing in the doorway with a tank top and black jeans on. Good evening, Mr. Hough. I said with a grin on my face. He laughed and pulled me into the house. Val tell you he's going to the studio? he asked. I nodded. Yeah, I just talked to him. I replied. He nodded and sat down on the couch. You didn't wanna go? he asked. I shook my head. No, I'm really tired; worked kicked my butt today. I replied releasing a breath. Oh yeah, it was your first day back today; how'd that go? he asked. Great, wait until you see the photos I have of you guys! You're gonna love it! I said with a smile. Derek smiled at me. I'm looking forward to it. he replied. Oh! he said hopping off the couch. I made food. he replied walking to the kitchen. Wow, I've known you for over a year, and I never knew you could cook. I said looking at him. He shrugged as he stirred noodles in a pot. I can do the easy stuff. he said with a laugh. You like fettuccine? he asked. I smiled with a nod. That's my favorite. I replied. Derek smiled and pulled out two plates. He piled some noodles on a plate and sat it down in front of me. Let me know what you think. he said grabbing his own plate and sitting down next to me. I rolled noodles around on my fork and put it into my mouth. I chewed the noodles and gasped. Oh My God! I exclaimed. Derek looked at me worriedly. Is it bad? he asked. I shook my head as I finished chewing. This is the best fettuccine I've ever had! I said eating another mouthful. He smiled at me. I'm glad you like it. he said as he started eating his. I finished eating a few minutes later and walked over to the sink and started washing my plate. I can finish these, you go up and get some rest. Derek said coming over and taking the plate from me. I looked at him. You sure? I asked. He nodded and pecked my head. Go get some rest, Val should be home in a few hours. he said. I smiled and kissed his cheek. Thanks Derek. I said walking towards the stairs. Good night, Derek! I called. Good night, Jamaica. he called back as I was walking up the stairs. I walked into Val's bedroom and walked over to the closet. I pulled out a pair of my PJs and walked into the bathroom. I changed into my PJs and took off all my makeup. I put my hair up in a messy bun and put my dirty clothes in the hamper for laundry to do later. I walked back into the bedroom and laid down into the bed. I took a picture of me with my eyes closed and posted it on Twitter with the caption; @JamaBJamaica; Waiting for @iamvalc to get home from rehearsal 😴 Hope everyone has a good night! Be safe on Halloween tomorrow! 🎃👻 I posted the tweet and a few minutes later I got a reply from Val. @iamvalc; Be home soon, my love 😘 #Valaica I smiled and retweeted the tweet. I set my phone down and cuddled Val's pillow close to me. Before I knew it, I was fast asleep.
