~Evan's POV~

"Derek, if you keep scowling like that your face is going to get stuck that way."

      "Shut up," Derek growled, glaring left and right as we walked towards the cafeteria. I sighed. Really, Derek was so unreasonable. He had to be aware that he was scaring people with that look on his face. Knowing him he was probably doing it on purpose.

      I stopped walking, grabbing his wrist to stop him as well. Derek frowned as I reached out a hand to smooth out the wrinkles between his brows. "Stop frowning so much," I said, "there's no need to be worried about others."

      I knew he was just looking out for me...glaring at anyone he thought was looking at us "funny". It was just Monday morning and already he was prepared for battle. Is it always going to be this way from now on?

      Derek took my hand and held onto it, staring down at me. I stared back up at him, wondering just when was it that Derek had got taller then me. We've always been the same height til now. Now...he was at least a good 2-3 inches taller than me.

      Before I realized what he intended to do, Derek swooped his head down and placed a kiss on my lips, right there in the middle of the hall where anyone could see us. There were several students wandering around so I didn't doubt that some did see us.

      Derek lifted up his head slowly, a wolfish grin tugging on his lips. "I can get used to this."

      I felt my face reddening and I had to look away. Geez, he's become so embarrassing! Ever since I confessed my love for him yesterday he's become more cocky...more bold, daring. He seemed to find excuses to touch me, always grinning like an idiot afterwards. He kept treating me like I'm female before but since I confessed to him Derek had gotten worse. If he kept treating me like I was some delicate woman I'm going to end up throttling him.

      "Let's go," he said, entwining my hand with his as he tugged me to follow him. I stayed behind him, staring at our hands locked together like it was the most natural thing to do. I felt my heart flutter. I still can't believe I had blurted out that I loved him...but I'm glad I had. It seemed like a heavy burden had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt...lighter...as if my floating feet had finally landed on solid ground.

      My hand tightened against his, relishing the feel of his warm hand holding on to mine so intimately. Never in my wildest dreams would I think that one day Derek would come to accept me...my love for him...and maybe, just maybe, he could learn to fall in love with me too.

      Derek glanced back at me, that endearing boyish smile still on his face. I smiled back. Yes...I hoped he will come to fall for me soon but for now...for now I'll take whatever scrape of affection he was willing to give me. For now I'm content.
