Scarlett POV

I just got out of lunch when I heard someone call my name I turned to see Derek jogging up to me.

"Yes Hale how may I help you." I said, last weekend I thought long and hard about how I've been treating Derek and to be honest I've been treating him like shit. So I'm trying to be more nicer.

"Are you doing anything this weekend?" he asked scratching the back of his neck.

"Not that I think of why?" I question looking at him.

"I was wonder if you wanted to have dinner or something. With me." he asked this actually pretty funny to see him nervous.

"Like a date." I asked smiling.

"Sure..Ya. So what do you say?" he said

"Yes I'll go on a date with you. Pick me up at 5." I said, then walking down the hall.

** Skip to the day of the date**

I told Olivia about the date and she flipped because she was so excited that I was finally going on my first date ever. Yes first, I never had a boyfriend and I've never had my first kiss either call me a loser all you want.

She helped me get dressed in a pair of leggings with my white ballet flats and a cute tank top and a cute jacket, she straighten my hair and did little makeup like always. After I got done I heard the door bell, I went downstairs to see it was Derek. I got my bag and we left.
"You look really pretty." he says as we drove to the restaurant.
"Thank you, you don't look bad yourself." I said smiling at him.

We went to a small dinner for the date.

"Nice shades," I comment sarcastically when I notice his sunglasses.

He smiles and sits down across from me.

Third person POV

The sun had just set and Derek had just started to feel the start of his shift. The date was going fine, he felt in control enough to take off the glasses. He had made Scarlett laugh quite a few times.

But then he could feel himself shift before Scarlett. Jumping out of his chair he makes a beeline for the bathroom. Looking in the mirror he sees his eyes glow gold and his claws scrape the porcelain of the sink.

He jumps when you knock on the door. "Derek? Are you alright?"

"Yeah," He lies through gritted teeth.

"You're a horrible liar." she call through the door.

"I'll be fine, I just don't feel good."

"Oh," Scarlett say quietly. "Do you think you'll be fine? Because I thought maybe we could do this again."

He closes his eyes and focuses on the sound of her voice. He thinks about her smile, and her laugh. He couldn't let Scarlett see him like this, not if he wanted to keep this going. When he opens them again they were normal again. Taking a shaky breath he opens the door. "Yeah, that'd be great." His stomach almost flips when he sees Scarlett big smile
