I walked out of the bathroom and leaned against the door frame. I watched Derek draw in our sketch book.
He was just in his boxers.
I smiled to myself as I admired him.
His piercing blue eyes locked on the sketch book and his muscular hands moved quickly on the paper. He bit his pink thin lower lip as he worked. He occasionally ran his fingers through his short light brown hair. I looked at his slightly tanned body and his cross tattoo on his shoulder.
I remember the day when he got that.
It was after summer break.
I was at my locker with Carey.
We were waiting for Derek.
"Guess who?" someone said coving my eyes.
"Orland Bloom,"
The person kissed me and I kissed back.
I went to run my hand through Derek's long curly hair and was surprised.
It was gone.
I pulled away and looked at Derek.
He's hair was gone.
"What did you do?" I asked in shock.
"I cut my hair," he chuckled.
"I...love it," I smiled.
I could now see his beautiful face.
"Good, I also got this," he said rolling up his sleeve.
I stared in awe at the large blue cross on his shoulder.
"Like it?" he asked.
"Yeah. Any more surprises?"
"I'm a father,"
"And I'm pregnant,"
We laughed and headed to class with Carey.
I smiled at that memory.
I walked over to him and peered over his shoulder.
He was drawling my favorite flower, a sun flower.
I smiled.
"Aw, you love me,"
"What gave that away?"
I giggled and kissed him.
"I do love you Alex,"
"I love you too,"
"I love you more,"
"No I love you more,"
"No I do,"
"No I do,"
Derek kissed me before I could say anything.
We pulled away and smiled at each other.
"Hungry?" I asked.
"Yeah. I'll make breakfast," Derek kissed my forehead.
"Thanks babe," I called as he left the room.
I got off the bed and pulled on a pair of shorts and a shirt.
As I was getting ready my cell phone rang.
"Hey," I smiled.
"What's up?" Travis asked.
"Nothing, you?"
"We're coming over in ten,"
"Sounds good,"
"See ya,"
"Bye," I said as we hung up.
"Honey!" Derek sang coming up stairs.
"Yes?" I sang back.
"Breakfast is ready," he said lifting me up. Derek carried me to dinning room.
"Thanks hon," I said kissing his cheek.
"No problem dear,"
I looked at my plate in front of me and smiled.
He had made me a chocolate chip pancake with a sunflower made out of whipped cream on it.
"Your too awesome," I called to him.
"I know," he said joining me with his plate.
I laughed as we eat and chatted.
"The guys are coming over in less then ten minutes,"
"Shit," Derek said heading up stairs.
"What?" I asked.
"I have to change and I was hopping that we could have fun," he said smirking.
"Bye Derek,"
He chuckled as he skipped up stairs.
I finished eating and cleaned the kitchen. By this time Derek was changed and had ordered the pizza.
The door opened and Travis, Chris, Oliver, Jason, Ryan, Gabe, Devin, Britney, Hannah and Morgan walked in.
"Hey lovers!"
"Hey," we as we walked over to them and gave them hugs.
"What's up D?" asked an all too familiar voice.
I looked over at Derek in horror.
There was Finn and Derek chatting it up like old friends.
"Why the hell are you here?"
Finn looked at me and everyone got quite.
"Can't an old friend come over and hang out?"
"An old friend can, you can't,"
"What's up with you two?" Derek asked.
"Nothing,"
"I'll tell you," Finn said smirking. "You see, I used to be her sex craze,"
"Get out!" I screamed and opened the door.
"So, you don't want the pizza?" asked the poor confused pizza man.
I sighed. "No not you, him," I said pointing at Finn.
"Aw, don't be like that baby,"
"Give me one reason to not beat the shit out of you. Pardon my French," I said to the last part to the pizza man.
"I'm sexy,"
"That's not a good reason,"
Derek held me back and pulled me aside.
"What's up with you?"
"Him,"
"What are you not telling me? No secrets remember?"
"It's just my past coming to haunt me,"
"So, he was you-"
"No!" I snapped.
"Then, chill,"
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I lost it for a while,"
Derek gave me a hug and kissed me lightly on the lips.
I felt a hand on my butt and warm breath tickling my ear.
This wasn't Derek.
"Some things never change," the person whispered.
Finn.
I pulled away from Derek and Finn was gone.
"Pizza time,"
"Yeah," he smiled taking my hand.
We sat in the living room and laughed and joked about the past.
Finn was pretty quite and the rest of us were cracking up.
"Hey, Al, do you remember the paint ball war?"
I laughed. "Do you remember the look on Mr. Riley's face?"
Finn laughed a little harder. "Well we did shot him,"
"Multiple times,"
"Some of us were half naked,"
"Because some people think it's funny to steal people's clothes and die their hair,"
"You looked pretty hot as a blond,"
"Whatever, that was not funny"
"We're laughing about it now,"
"Whatever,"
"Detention was something too,"
"Yeah, remember Thanksgiving?"
"Yeah," Finn laughed. "Remember Chirstmas?"
"Yeah, our parents made out, that's something you don't forget. Gross,"
"Spring break was so much fun," we said at the same time laughing.
"I'll never forget spring break," I smiled.
"I'll never forget the night we found out about Kelly and Johnny,"
I blushed. "That was fun,"
Our laughter died down and I felt a little sad.
Finn and I, we had good times.
"You know, at Kelly's wedding, Carey caught the bouquet of flowers and she got married next. And I caught the flowers at her wedding and now, I'm getting married,"
"Wow," everyone seemed to mutter.
"Then, I'm diffidently catching your bouquet," Devin said.
We all laughed and Oliver got down on his knee in front of Devin.
She raised an eyebrow at him and every stared at them.
"Will you marry me Devin?"
She broke out into a grin and all the girls, including myself, awed.
Derek put his arm around me.
Devin kissed Oliver, which I'm guessing mean yes.
We all clapped and cheered.
****
Derek and I came out of the store hand in hand.
We were making our save the date cards for our two hundred and fifty guests.
They said that they would be mailed to us in a week.
Derek and I headed to the beach.
We walked along the water hand in hand.
"Dance with me?" he asked.
"There's no music," I said as he pulled me into him.
"So,"
"Sing to me,"
Derek smiled and started to sing 'I'll Be' by Edwin McCain.
I smiled and rested my head against his shoulder.
I listened to his voice and held him close to me.
This song brought back memories.
I had another melt down.
I thought about Finn again.
I don't know why it's so hard to forgive about him.
I wish I never met the stupid bastard.
I hugged my knees and cried slightly.
I felt arms go around me.
"Are you okay?" Derek asked.
"No," I muttered.
"It's okay," he hushed me as he held me close to him.
He started to sing 'I'll Be' By Edwin McCain.
I smiled a little and looked up at him as he sang.
His voice was so magical.
I held him close to me.
Once he was finished I had goose bumps and he lifted my head up.
Derek smiled at me and leaned in.
I followed him and our lips connected.
I got that same feeling that I had when Finn kissed me.
But this feeling was different.
I loved this feeling.
Derek's hands slid down my sides and pulled me onto his lap.
My fingers played in his bushy hair that covered his beautiful eyes.
I pulled away and smiled at him.
"Give me a chance?" he asked.
"Pick me up at eight," I said kissing him again.
I stood up and walked to my class.
When Derek finished I smiled.
"Is that your go to song?" I asked.
"Well, it's one of my favorites and everything I hear it I think of you,"
I kissed him and he kissed back.
Our lips moved as one and we held each other tightly.
(Finn's Point Of View)
I was going for a late night jog on the board walk and decided to walk along the shore.
I thought about today with Alex.
If I keep pushing her buttons I'm going to drive her away.
Just then I saw her and Derek making out hard core on the sand.
His shirt was off and she was just in her underwear.
I couldn't believe my eyes.
Sex on the beach was our thing.
Derek unhooked her bra and kissed her breast.
Alex opened her eyes a little and they landed on me.
Her eyes grew wide.
She rolled them over and kissed Derek.
She looked at me and waved me away with her hand.
I backed away and headed in the other direction, heartbroken.
