Detest Or Desire

Chapter 6: Perfect.

Rue's POV:

PERFECTION IS UNDERRATED. I say this because why would you want to be anything but perfect? 

Things were perfect until he showed up. 

Why did he come back?

"Nick, I had no idea you were back." I said sharply as Derek's hold only tightened.

"Well, I wanted to surprise you." He grinned sweetly.

"You know this figure?" Derek whispered loudly on purpose.

"Umm ya I do." I chuckled awkwardly. "Long story." I whispered to Derek.

WHERE IS ANNE?

"I didn't realize I was that easy to move on from Cruella..It's been like four months." He teased as my eye shot up in surprise.

I didn't realize he was acknowledging that.

"Her name is Aarushi." Derek said sternly.

My heart jumped hearing the way my name rolled off his tongue but I maintained my face.

"Oh I know. I just call her that, it's our thing." Nick said throwing a smile at Derek. 

"Oh no that's okay you don't need to call her at all. Isn't that right sweetheart?" Derek asked as he kissed my temple.

I chuckled nervously. "I have class now. I'll see you later Nick." I waved as I dragged Derek away. Well, more like limped and directed him away.

I don't have any class right now.

"What was that?" I yelled as we entered an empty classroom.

"What was what?" Derek asked nonchalantly.

"Why were you behaving like that?" I glared at him.

"I don't think you remember Rue, but we're supposed to be in a relationship. This is how jealous boyfriends act." He rolled his eyes.

"You could have been nicer! Besides some boyfriends don't get jealous." I crossed my arms as he walked towards me.

"Okay Carson, but I get jealous." He scoffed.

"Okay Derek, but I would never date a guy who gets jealous over nothing. You realize a fake relationship means we have to convince people who know me as well, don't you?"

"Well, you're dating me." He smirked as he chuckled, ignoring my second point.

"Am I now?" I smiled deviously. I then proceeded to smack his arm.

"OUCH!" He flinched. "That hurt!"

"You'll be fine." I rolled my eyes. "Aren't you quarterback or whatever? Don't they make you guys with steel or something?" I joked.

"You're not funny sweetheart. Stick to glaring and kicking." He said as he continued rubbing his arm dramatically.

"Gladly." I huffed as I brushed invisible dust off my sleeves. "So what does this conversation teach us?" 

"That I'm a possessive asshole boyfriend and there's no way around it." Derek nodded as I glared at him. "And that we have to act extra hard around Mike because he's your ex lover." He corrected with a twitching smile.

"His name is Nick, not Mike."

"Who cares?" He rolled his eyes. "Why were you in love with him?" He asked as he dragged an empty seat and turned it to sit on it.

"I was NOT in love with him." I declared sternly as he passed me a chair as well.

"Oh that's why he was all 'Oh Cruella, you're my dalmatian princess and I will buy you all the puppies in the world'" He said in a high pitched voice to imitate Nick.
