(Derek's POV)
"See y'all later" I said as I walked out of the locker room. Another great practice with the Saints. Man I love this team. It's different than Vegas but it's nice. A little less chaotic.
As I was walking out I noticed a reporter looking down at her phone. She looks kinda familiar.
"Hey excuse me" She looked up as I said that. "Y/N? What are you doing here?" Y/N is my ex girlfriend. I broke up with her when I left for the Saints. She was a reporter in Las Vegas and I didn't want to do long distance. She was still so beautiful.
"Derek." She paused "Hi" She said breathlessly.
"Hey" I said back the same way. She cleared her throat
"Umm I'm here for work. I'm with ESPN now and they wanted me to cover the saints game this week."
"Oh wow that's awesome. Your moving up in the rank." I smiled
"Yea I am." She smiled back at me. "Well I got to go but it was nice seeing you Derek." She started walking away
"Yeah it was nice seeing you too" I said after her. That just brought up a lot of feelings I thought I let go.
I still love her. I've always loved her. "Wait I love her!" I yelled out and starting running after her.
The rain was pouring on me but I didn't care. I lost her once. I'm not going to lose her again. She was already in her car ready to drive away. I got to her window and knocked on it. She opened her door and came out of the car.
"Derek are you insane? It's pouring out here."
"Yea I probably am. But it's been a long 6 months and back then I was too afraid to tell you I wanted you to come with me." She smiled at me and wiped a raindrop from my forehead. "I want you for worse or for better. I would wait forever for you. I know I broke you heart but I can put it back together. I honestly must have lost my mind to leave you alone." I smiled. "I love you Y/N. I always have. And I always will."
"I love you too Derek." She said and pulled me in for a kiss. My hands immediately went to her waist, pulling her body closer to mine. One of her hands went to my cheek while the other went to the back of my head playing with my hair. She pulled away slowly and rested her forehead against mine. We stayed like that for awhile just trying to catch our breaths.
"I mean it when I say I'm not leaving you again"
"I know." She nodded and smiled. "I'm not letting you leave again"
And that folks is how you get the girl.
