Fame Or Love

Chapter 20.

India Love, Crystal and the rest of their family joined together the next morning at a cemetery to lay their beloved sister Morgan Westbrooks to rest. There were so many people there Derek wasn't sure if they were family, close friends, or fans. Probably both he figured.

The ceremony was nice and the crowd ceased.

Standing away from everyone sitting on a bench was India. She was in all white (instead of all black like most funeral attire) wearing a white daisies headband.

She was innocently cute in Derek's eyes. It made his heart melt. He wanted to just rush over to her and smolder her with kisses but he knew that would be awkward and it was against rules. Yeah he already broke the rules with her but didn't wanna chance a 2nd time.

The jet his team were going to be leaving on was set to leave in 40mins. So he had to make it quick. He walked over to her and stood behind her.

"Thank you for coming." She spoke. "My sister would of appreciated you coming to show your respects in which you didn't have to do."

Derek walked around front so they could both see each others eyes. He nodded.

"I know, but what happened to her was awful, and I wanted to make sure you were okay today."

She smiled and repositioned herself.

"I'm fine. I'm hurt, of course. And I have a lot of guilt but I know my sister wouldn't want me harping on it."

He hung his head some to continue looking into her eyes since she had looked down some while speaking.

"You're right you know? You should listen to that beautiful heart and mind of yours."

India looked up at him and grinned.

"Why did you really come here Agent Morgan?"

He shifted weight on to another leg.

".......to see you again. To see your beautiful face before I leave CA." He admitted shamelessly.

She smiled big and nodded before standing infront him and wrapping her arms around his waist. She inhaled the scent of him and felt rested as if she belonged in his arms. He held onto her with those strong arms savoring the moment, not wanting to break it up.

His phone buzzed signaling him that his team was looking for him and that wheels will be up soon. He ignored it.

"It's time..." She said

He remained silent then sighed in disappointment.

"Go.. I'll be ok." She said while pulling out of his brace. "I'll never forget you Derek."

He clenched a fist secretly at hearing her words. He didn't want her to forget. He wasn't gonna forget.

He smiled sheepishly and dipped his lips onto hers once again. She smiled in the kiss and opened her eyes seeing that he was smiling too. Before it could get serious be pulled back and patted her shoulder.

He stepped aside her and handed her his card. He leaned to the side kissing the shell of her ear before walking away to leave her at the cemetery.
