It's been three months since derek left. We went from texting everyday, to every week.. then he stopped completely.
I've tried to move on while he was gone but, truth be told.. I've been stalking Addison's Instagram.. a lot. I just really miss him.
I get up in the morning, have a shower and get ready for school. I walk there and go straight to class. I'm talking to cristina when derek walks in.
It takes every bit of strength in my body not to run up to him and just kiss him right here infront of everyone. Everyone should know that he is mine and only mine.
I get up, walking over to him. We smile at eachother before stepping outside.
"Hi" I smile. "Hi" he smiles. I hug him. "Derek, please hug me back" I chuckle. He hesitantly wraps his arms around me.
I pull away slowly. "You um.. you stopped texting me back.. w-" I say. "I'm sorry.. I bad to get a new phone.. mine smashed" he says. "Oh" I say. "I asked Addison for your number but she said she didn't have it" he says.
"Oh, okay" I say confused.. Addison has my number? She texted me on the trip a few times. I shake it off. "Well, how was it? Did you have fun?" I smile. "Lots" he says.
"Here.. I got you something" he pulls out a small box. He opens it. I smile, my eyes lightning up as I see it. It's a neckelace with the London tower charm.
"Turn around" he says. I turn around, moving my hair out of the way so he can put it on me. I smile, turning back around. "Thankyou" I smile, kissing his cheek. He smiles.
"You like it?" He asks. "I love it" I say. He smiles. "I got you something too.." I grab my bag. I take all the notes I took for derek in class the past couple of months out.
"Here" I pass them to him. "Thankyou!" He takes them. I giggle. "You're welcome" I chuckle. He hugs me tight. "You hug me for giving you your study notes but not after not seeing me for 3 months? Seriously?" I giggle.
He grins, pulling away. "Hey derek you left this in-" Addison walks over. I watch as she hands him his shirt. "Oh.. thanks" he puts it In his bag. "Hi mer" she says. I look at her.
"Hi.. how was your trip?" I ask nicely. "It was so much fun.. did derek show you pictures?" She asks. I shake my head. She pulls out her phone.
I scroll through the pictures, trying to hold back my anger and honestly, my heartbreak as I look through the pictures of them having fun together.
"That does look fun" I smile, handing her phone back. "Anyway, I'm sorry.. I interrupted you two.. I just wanted to give that back.. bye" she says. "Bye" we say. She walks away.
"I really really missed you" I say. He smiles. "I missed you more" he grins. I smile. "Can we hang out after school?" He asks.
I think about it for a second. I thought the time away from him would be good for me, so I could get over him. I look into his eyes. Then again, I didn't get over him so..
"Yeah, definitely.. can you drive me after school then? Yours or mine?" I ask. "Mine?" He asks. "Okay" I nod. "We should get to class" he opens the door, holding it open for me. I smile, walking in. He walks in after me.
We sit in our assigned seats. I look at him from across the room as he watches the teacher. I rest my chin on my hand, watching him intently.
"Stop staring" cristina chuckles. She's sat next to me. "Hes the most gorgeous guy ever, don't you think?" I whisper. "No" she chuckles.
"Hes so handsome.. he has the most beautiful ocean blue eyes, his jawline is so sharp.. God, his body is a work of art.. not that he shows it off, which I like about him.. he doesn't flaunt how good looking he is.. he doesn't even know it" I say.
She just looks at me in shock. I grin, looking away, feeling embarrassed that I said all that aloud. "You love him" she teases. "Shut up!" I giggle.
"Mcnerdy got your.. juices flowing" she says. "Cristina yang!" I hit her. "I meant in your heart" she grins. "Oh, sure you did" I roll my eyes, chuckling.
After school ends I meet derek and he drives us both to his house to hang out.
We're sat in his room on his bed. He's watching TV. I look at him. "Are you and Addison.. a thing?" I suddenly blurt out. He looks at me.
"What?" He asks. "You seem close.. she had your shirt.. she was kissing your cheek in one of the pictures and-" I say.
"We're just friends.. she had my shirt because I leant it to her when she spilt something all over her pyjamas and had to take them to the cleaners" he says.
No? Is he lying? I Don't want to ask him again because I don't want to seem pushy.
Plus, what am I going to say, 'I saw her pulling your shirt off the other day when i was watching you through your bedroom window', I don't think that'd go well.
I look at him. "Oh" I say. "Plus, addisons gorgeous.. why would she sleep with me?" He chuckles. I roll my eyes. "Do you.. like her?" I ask hesitantly.
"Yeah" he says. My heart almost drops. "She's my friend.. but I don't like her in a romantic way" he shakes his head. I let out a small breath.
"Why do you ask?" He asks. "No reason, I'm just.. your friend.. if you have a girlfriend or whatever, you should tell me about it" I say. "Why?" He asks. "That's just what friends do" I giggle.
"Is it?" He asks. "Derek" I say. "Yeah?" He asks. I hit his head lightly. "Shut up" I say. "Okay" he says. I grin.
I end up going home a little while later after some catching up, talking about his trip and just watching some TV.
