not good enough

chapter 11

I walk into the living room after waking up alone in bed. "Oh, hey" I smile at meredith as I see she's sat on the couch.

"Hi" she says. "I snuck out this morning and came back later.. your mom doesn't know I spent the night" she whispers. "Okay" I smile. I kiss her softly.

"You look tired" she holds my hand. "I was worried about you last night" I entwine our fingers.

"Sorry" she mumbles. "Don't apologise" I say. She cuddles into me. "We should have more sleepovers" she says. "We should" I smile.

"Mom!" I yell. I kiss merediths cheek. "Are you going to-" she giggles. I nod. "Yeah?" She walks in. She smiles at us. "Are you two?" She asks. We nod.

"Oh my god! Thats great!" She comes over and hugs us. We smile at eachother.

"Can you believe I finally wore her down!?" I pull her onto my lap. She giggles. My mom chuckles. "You're perfect derek, any girl would be lucky to have you" my mom says. I smile. "Thanks" I chuckle softly.

"Meredith is perfect.. and she's definitely out of my league" I look into her eyes. "No I'm not" she smiles.

She hugs my neck. I smile wider, wrapping my arms around her. We cuddle for a bit before finally going to school.

We're in the hallway. I have her pushed up against the lockers as we make out. She's running her fingers through my hair and I hear small moans against my lips every so often.

I pull away from her lips slowly. She leans closer and kisses me again, not letting me. I start kissing her again, putting my hands on her cheeks.

I finally gather the strength to pull away from her amazing lips. She smiles at me. Her lips are so red.

"You're such a good kisser" she grins. "Am I?" I smile. She nods. "Your lips taste amazing" I grab her waist, pulling her body against mine. "Its my chapstick" she giggles. "What flavour?" I ask. "Strawberry" she says.

"Maybe we could have another sleepover soon?" I ask. She nods. "Not tonight" she says. "Okay" I say.

The bell rings. "We should go to next period" she says. "Okay" I say. "What do you have?" She asks. "Biology" I say. "I have chemistry" she says.

"I'll see you at lunch then?" I ask. "We're eating together?" She asks. "Oh, we don't have to" I say. "No, I want to" she smiles. "Okay" I smile.

She keeps staring at me. I chuckle awkwardly. She sighs, walking away. "I love you mer" I say. She giggles happily, running back over to hug me. Ohh. That's what she was waiting for.

I smile, kissing her head. "I love you too" she kisses my lips. I smile widely.

"Come to class with me instead" I pick her up. "Nooo derek" she giggles. "But you're too cute to let go" I frown. She grins at me.

"Put me down" she says. I put her down. "Good boy" she giggles. I smile. "Bye" she kisses me softly before walking away. I follow her.

"Derekkk! Go to class" she giggles, turning back around. "No, I wanna stay with you" I whine. "No" she chuckles. "Fine, I'll walk you" I say. "Fine" she grins. I hold her hand.

I walk her to her seat. "Derek, you're not in this class" the teacher says. "I just needed to make sure she got here okay" I lean down and kiss her softly.

"I'm sure she's fine alone" the teacher says. I grin. "Bye" she waves at me. I leave and go to my own class.
