You Have It All

Chapter 12

"I'll figure something out" I said into the phone.

"I sure hope you do" she laughed.

"Okay I'll talk to you tomorrow. Byeeee" I said sarcastically.

"Haha alright night Dani" she responded.

"Night Erin" I laughed. Then I ended the call.

Not even a minute after I ended the call with Erin, my phone lit up showing a text message. Who was it from? None other than the devil himself Derek.

"Did you get the e-mail from Marianne?" It said.

"Yes I did" I responded dryly. I really can't stand having conversations with him so I try to keep them short and to the point.

"Alright so got any ideas for our duet? :)" he responded. I can only imagine the smirk on his face right now. I rolled my eyes and responded

"Woah woah woah. Who said we were doing a duet together?"

After I hit 'send', my phone lit up with his caller ID. You have no idea how much I want to hit 'ignore' right now but for the sake of my team...

"Yes Derek" I sighed into the phone.

"Oh I see, no hello first?" He said smugly.

"Derek why did you call me?" I asked frustrated.

"Awwee is Daniella frustrated?" He cooed into the phone.

I'm so done with his antics. "Derek Carter I am hanging up now" I said into the speaker as I was about to hit 'end'

"No wait!" I heard.

"What?" I snapped.

"Okay I get it, I'm a dick..." He started.

"Your words not mine" I sassed into the phone.

"Besides the point" he snapped. "We need to do a duet together, we both know I have the best guys squad and you have the best girl squad" he said.

"Derek Carter, very cocky this evening. Do go on" I teased only imagining the frustration on his face.

"Haha" he laughed. "Really though, we need to do a duet. It could really get us further up in the competition and I'm already doing a duet with Marissa" he said.

"Of course, Derek Carter always thinking about himself" I scoffed. The nerve of that boy. Thinks he can just call me up and tell me we are doing a duet with him.

"No Daniella I didn't mean it that way" he said. It almost sounded like he was begging. "Please" okay now he was begging.

"Wow you must be desperate" I scoffed. I felt kind of bad for saying what I said but he deserves it. But of course, Mr. Conscience has to show up at every moment possible so I felt pity. "Look I'll think about it okay" I sighed, my good conscience getting in the way of everything.

"Thank you" he breathed. "Catch you later Dani" he said, voice lined with arrogance.

"Don't push it Derek" I scoffed.

He was so frustrating. He better count his blessings if I decide to do a duet with him.
