In Love With My Bestfriend (MOTOUGH) not working on anymore

Love's a Game

Derek's POV

"This movie makes absolutely no sense," Bethany says as we are sprawled out on her couch,watching "RoboCop."

I smirked at her, "What are you talking about this is an ultimate classic?"

She chuckled  at my remark,exposing her dimples. "She is adorable."  I thought to myself as I planted a kiss on her forehead.

" Why don't we ditch this movie and maybe...," she suggests with a sultry tease.

"And...." I reply with as light whisper.

"Maybe make some cookies and have our.. fun," she says with a grin.

A grin slowly appears on my face, as she  leads me to the kitchen.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bethany quickly pulls her hair into a messy bun which I love and find absolutely adorable.

"Okay  you  get all the ingredients and I will get all the tools," Bethany orders.

"Yes sir, - I mean m'am," I say jokingly.

Bethany rolls her eyes as she takes a kitchen towel and playfully smacks me with it,."Derek, you're such a goofball."

"A goofball you're in love with," I say with a smirk as I brush back Bethany's locks of hair.

"That's right," Bethany whispers slightly biting her lip. 

I smirk leaning in as our lips softly meet,

In the heat the moment, my phone begins to ring. I try to ignore it but the sound is too pestering.

Why does this always happen? Couldn't it have waited a little bit?

"You might want to get that and maybe change your ring tone," she laughs.

I quickly reach for my phone, mouthing  the words,"Sorry."

The Caller ID reads, "Carl Green/Manager."

I turn to see if Bethany is watching, to only see her focused on the cookies and quietly go into the other room.

"Hi Derek,how are you?" he asks.

"Um..  Hello... What's going on? Because I am kind of in the middle of something right now," I retort with the slightest hint of annoyance in my voice.

"Sorry to your interrupt your plans, but this is top- priority."

"Okay.. so go on," I urge impatiently

"So you know how you ADDIAS is interested in having you apart of there "little" campaign. Well  the bad news is that we were suppose to meet with the CEO next week,but something came up and that unfortunately can't happen anymore," he explains to me.

"What am I supposed to do? Like can I reschedule or something?" I ask frantically.

"Well your in luck because she said we all can meet tomorrow!"

I sigh pressing my hand to my head in distress.

"Wait but tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I have plans," I say,suddenly stuck in a dead end.

"You might want to start thinking about rescheduling, because this is extremely important."

"Well I guess I will see you tomorrow, Carl, Bye," I moan.

Great.Instead of spending time with my loving Bethany, I will be spending my Valentine's Day cooped up in a office room for hours discussing business. Just Great.

"Derek, Is everything alright?" Bethany calls out from the kitchen.

I jump at the sound of her voice.

"Everything is great," I lie gritting my teeth together.

I slowly walk out into the kitchen and think of possible ways to break the news to Bethany.

She turns to me staring right at me, "Babe, I know something's up. Tell me."

I stare at the floor  as if it will magically make my dilemma vanish.

                                             

               "I just got a call." And you know that whole ADDIAS Campaign I'm doing. Well the meeting is tomorrow. And it lasts pretty much the whole way," I say as I feel my stomach plunge into a black hole.    

She drops her mittens and flashes me a deep look of sadness.

"I'm happy for you," is all she manages to say.

I stare at her waiting for her to say something to say, but only for there to be dead silence.

"Are you okay?" I ask uneasily.

"Of course, I am perfectly fine." I  instantly lose touch of the warmth that was once in her voice, and the coldness that is the replacement.

"I mean why wouldn't I be fine, when my first serious boyfriend can't be with me on  our first Valentine's day together, because he has to go to some - meeting," she retorts.

The way she throws the word meeting, like its the scum at the bottom of a shoe, slightly angered me.

"Beth this is important to me, Okay, and I want to spend Valentine's Day with you but there is nothing I can do, so please don't start this," I try explaining to her.

"Yeah, well I hope you have fun," she retorts in a whisper turning her attention back to the cookies.

That is when I had absolutely had it. 

"Are you serious?," I shoot back."Bethany, you are acting childish right now,okay," I add with a sarcastic chuckle.

"It's not that big of a deal as you are making it  to be," I retaliate.

As those words leave my mouth, I immediately feel a pang of remorse. It's Valentine's Day.. the day of love.. Of course it's important.

Bethany's eyes well up as she shakes her furiously at me.

"Beth look I didn't mean it like that," I begin to apologize.

She refuses to look at me,keeping her eyes fixed on the ground.

"Then in, what way did you mean it Derek?," she responds in a low voice still gazing at the floor.

I look away and struggle to find the right words to say but all that comes out is a stutter.

'Well I guess I will see you later," Bethany says breaking the silence as she motions towards the door.

I stare at her for a while, sensing her heartbreak. I finally pick up my things, and gradually leave. 

So much for  Valentine's Day.
