Sorry for not posting a new chapter. Been at summer camp with no signal or electronics.

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

Emily digs around in her bag trying to find her copy of Charlotte’s Web, but it is nowhere to be found. She turns around, knocks on the door, and sees Derek open the door. In one swift motion, he pulls her inside and kisses her. She stumbles inside and closes the door with her boot. Derek walks backward while still kissing Emily. Emily pushes away for a breath, “I just… I just forgot my copy.”

Derek steps back, “Oh…”

“But don’t stop,” Emily leaps back into his arms and continues to kiss him. The two make their way into his bedroom.

Derek takes a breath, “Are you sure about this?”

“I have never been more sure of anything in my entire life,” Emily proceeds to kiss Derek again. She ends up spending the rest of the night at Derek’s place. As they finished, they rolled over in different directions. Emily thought, ‘It finally happened.’

All the meanwhile, Derek thought, ‘I’m gonna marry this woman.’

After a wonderful night of passion, Emily wakes up to the crackling sound of bacon and the smell of fresh buttered pancakes. It takes her a minute to be aware of her surroundings. As she remembers what happened the previous night, she crawls out of bed and scrambles to put yesterday's clothes on. As she skips out of the bedroom, she is met with Derek, “Oh, good. You’re up. I was going to wake you up.”

Emily looks at the table, “You did all this?”

Derek shrugs and leads her to the candlelit breakfast, “I thought we should talk. And what better than to talk over beautiful bacon, eggs and pancakes?”

Emily smiles, looks at Derek, then sits down. She serves herself some eggs first, then pancakes and lastly bacon. Emily and Derek both say, “I think we should talk.”

Emily suggests, “You can go.”

Derek nods his head. He puts his fork down, “So…” He is having a difficult time finding words, “What…” Finally he politely asks, “What is this?”

Emily tries to answer, “Are we…”

“I think we are…” Derek beats around the bush. He flat out mentions, “I like you.”

“I like you, too,” Emily agrees. Her smile grows.

Derek reiterates, “Like a lot. Like a whole lot. Since I met you, actually.”

Emily nods along, “Same… same with me.”

“Good. Good…” Derek looks down at the pancake smiley face Emily made on her plate. He smiles lightly and chuckles. The two smile profusely while they eat. Derek speaks up, “Are we boyfriend and girlfriend now?”

Emily looks up from her half eaten smiley face pancake and answers, “I think we are.” Derek nods in agreement. 

After they are done, Derek pulls out her chair before she can push out on her own, “M’Lady.”

Emily courtesy and responds, “Good sir.” The two laugh and clean up their breakfast. After cleaning their breakfast up, Emily stands by the door, “Do I just… Do I just go?”

Before Derek can respond he jumps over the couch and runs over to Emily. He kisses her and brings her over to the couch. They rip off each other’s clothes and go again for the second time that Saturday.
