Stay By My Side

Chapter Four

Are you guys excited for this?? I hope you are.

Stiles' POV

Its been two weeks since that event with Derek and I thought I finally wouldn't have to see his stupidly handsome face. But guess what? He has been freaking coming everyday there and talking to me and all. I hate it. He's distracting me and that's the last thing I need right now. My exams are coming up and I have to study too while handling three jobs at the same time. It's Friday finally and I'm ready for the weekend. Right now I'm waiting on a table of this couple who are making heart eyes at each other. I just rolled my eyes and cleared my throat. "Would you actually like to order something?" I said making them look at me as the girl blushed. "Um..yeah! Sorry! I want an espresso and my girlfriend will have a latte. Thank you." The guy said and I smiled at him. "Your orders will arrive shortly." I said as I walked giving up the orders and stood next to Isaac.
"You got something against couples?" Isaac asked looking at me with amused expression.
"Aww look at them holding hands." I said looking at the couple that were sitting few feet in front of us.
"Oh yeah.." Isaac said as his gaze turned towards them.
"I want them dead!" I said through my gritted teeth and Isaac laughed loudly.
"Yup you definitely got something against couples." He laughed as he went back to work and I went back to do mine. I was having a fairly good day until Derek decided to show up. Why? Why me? I don't trust myself that I won't blush like a damn school girl when he talks to me. I tensed once I saw that he had brought a girl with him. She was blonde and was wearing a leather jacket like Derek and I scoffed. What are they in? Some sort of gang? She looked like a Catwoman. I felt a pang on my inside when I saw Derek introduce her to Rosa by putting his arms around her.

"You know jealousy isn't the best color on you." Isaac said startling me from behind as I made a squeaky noise. "Jealous? What? Me? Why? Shut up! I'm not jealous!" I rambled making Isaac laugh. "You keep telling yourself that Stiles but you know its not the truth." He said and walked away. I glared at him until he was out of my sight. I regret telling him and Scott about what happened between Derek and I that day because now they won't stop teasing me about it. And as much as I hate to admit it Isaac is somewhat right, I do feel jealous looking at them. But I don't have any right to feel that, I constantly have to remind myself that we are from different worlds, different backgrounds. He the famous, perfect billionaire Derek Hale who has the world at his feet while I'm just an average awkward pale boy who doesn't have anyone except for Scott and now maybe Isaac. The thought of someone actually being able to love me makes me laugh, I couldn't even get someone to adopt me when I was in orphanage because every couple that came always thought that I was to hard to handle. The bullies at my high school used to pick at me for being the weird kid who always wore old clothes and was talking mile a minute. They said things that hurt so much but I never let it show, even when they said you're such a stupid boy who is hard to handle! No wonder nobody adopts you and no wonder your real parents left you to die on the street! It hurt when they would say that but in a way I guess they were right. I finally convince myself that Derek and I have no chance at all. I mean he could have anyone and why would he want some orphan kid who can barely pay rent for his own apartment.

"Stiles! You're needed on table five." Rosa shouted, "On it!" I shouted back as I made my way to the table. "Hello! Are you ready to order?" I said as cheerily as possible. "Stiles. Hey!" Of course Derek had to be here! "Heey. Derek, are you gonna order?" I tried avoiding any conversation that is likely to occur. "Oh yeah! I will have a Caramel Latte and .." He ordered and looked at the blonde girl who was too busy on her phone. "Erica!" Derek called out and the blonde girl who now I know now goes by the name Erica looked up. "What?" She said and Derek sighed. "What do you want to order?" He asked. "Oh! I'll have an iced mocha please" She said looking at me with a beautiful smile. "Oh my god! Are you Stiles?" she asked me and I was really confused. She knows my name, what the hell. "Um.. yes. How'd you know?" I asked and Derek cleared his throat while glaring hard at Erica. "Derek here hasn't stopped talking about you. About your Bambi eyes and how cute you are. Now that I've seen you in person I know that Der here wasn't lying." She said making me blush so deep. I looked at Derek shyly who smiled at me making me blush even more. "I-I...umm.. what?" I stuttered out as it was hard for me to form any sentence because my mind was still grasping the fact that Derek talked about me and called me cute. "Oh by the way! I'm Erica. Derek's friend and his assistant." She introduced herself and now I know who she really is of Derek. "Please don't mind her. She's just flat out crazy." Derek said glaring at Erica and then looked at me. "Ow! Erica! What the fuck!" Derek said when Erica kicked him from under the table and smiled sweetly. "Another word Hale and I kick you where the sun doesn't shine." She threatened making Derek grumble but sit quietly as I stood there amused by them. "I'll get your orders out." I said and got out of there. What the hell just happened?

I changed from my work clothes and walked out of the shop. "Stiles!" I heard my name being called from behind so I turned around to see Derek making his way toward me and I felt my heart racing. Why is that every time he's around my heart always beats so fast. This has never happened to me before. "Stiles. Hey." He said when he was finally in front of me. "Hey Derek. Is something wrong?" I asked confused as to why he suddenly had to talk to me. "Oh nothing's wrong. I just wanted to apologize to you for what happened earlier. Erica has the tendency to make people really uncomfortable." He said leaving me smiling there. He wanted to apologize? He hasn't even done anything wrong. "Oh my god Derek, you don't have to apologize. Even Erica, she's nice." I said truthfully and he made this adorable confused face. "Really? You're not mad about earlier?" He asked, is he for real? "Yes! I'm not mad. And why would I be?" I asked which I shouldn't have. "Because I said that you have Bambi eyes and called cute." He said blushing a little and he wasn't the only one who was blushing. "That's not true though." I mumbled looking at the floor. "Hey." He called softly and I looked at him. He brought his hand to my face and caressed my cheek softly which made me blush even more. I couldn't do anything I was frozen there with my heart racing. "Don't say that. I don't think you know how beautiful you are." He said looking at me as if he was looking at my soul. I stood there frozen, wide eyed with my heart racing fast. "Stiles!" Someone called breaking us from the trance we were in. "Are you ready to go? Scott's waiting!" Isaac came and put his arm around me. "Oh." Was all that came out of my mouth. "Who are you?" Isaac asked Derek even if he knew exactly who he was. I rolled my eyes at his tactics. "My name's Derek." Derek introduced himself. "Anyway Stiles I need to go. Can you give me your number so maybe we can talk sometime?" He said looking at me with these hopeful eyes that was hard to deny. "I .. sure." I said and punched my number in his phone, he thanked me and was out of sight. "Not. A. Word." I glared at Isaac who was laughing at me and I punched him really hard. I don't even feel sorry for it. "Did you see how he was glaring at me when I put my arms around me?" Isaac asked, "what? He glared at you? Why would he do that?" I questioned him in disbelief. "Dude! He was jealous of me. I know the jealous look okay!" He said and I scoffed. "Whatever." I said but I was blushing lightly. If I had a dollar for every time I blushed today I could buy so many curly fries. I sighed as we made our way to Scott's house to enjoy the Friday night. I had made this horrible decision of introducing Scott and Isaac, now they always pester and tease me while I pout in the corner.
