Dancing with the Star

Chapter 14

I finally decide to get out of bed since Derek woke my up and, I can't fall back asleep. "I hope you're happy!" I stumble on into the kitchen. "What you didn't want a wake up call?" Derek slides on to a kitchen chair. "Is Harrison even up yet?" "Nope!" Derek let out a little laugh. "This isn't funny! Harrison wake up before the sun even raises! We're up before him!" I slowly make my way over to the tea pot.

"I hope you're ok, with lemon tea this morning." Derek opens up yesterday's newspaper abs starts reading it. "Yeah, it's fine........it's actually my favorite so, it's all good." I poor myself a cup and go over to sit with Derek. "Just a random question," I try to make conversation. "How often do you want company when you sleep? And when you did want company, before I was here, who would you sleep with?" "Um, well, I always had Emily with me for about almost two years then you came into my life, flipped it upside down, and now I just want company again." "Ah, I see....." I take a nice warm sip of my tea.

"Since we're asking each other random sentimental questions, here's one for you." Derek shuts his newspaper. "Why would Harrison come into your bed late at night? Has he before?" "Hell no!" I almost choke on my tea. "And if he has come into my bed at night I haven't noticed. I just thought it was him because, he's getting older and you never know." Derek looks to the ground. "He's taken care of me and my family ever since I can remember, I couldn't bare loosing him." "Oh, Derek I didn't know this was a sensitive topic." I take a seat closer to him and give him a side hug. "I never think about him dying. I guess I think he might live forever. He's a great guy, he doesn't deserve to die." "Derek, let's just stop thinking about this. He's not gone yet. For all we know he'll be here for 15 more years!" "Yeah......" Derek let's out a little chuckle but with a frown on his face. I rub his back "It's seven, Natasha's supposed to be here in three hours. Let's great ready." I slide out of my chair and put my mug in the sink.   

I'm at the kitchen door and I turn back. I see him sitting there just staring at the table with his hands together. "Are you coming?" I force a smile on my face. "Yeah!" He snaps out of whatever haze he was in. "Ok" I very faintly say. I head upstairs and hop in the shower. I get out dry my hair which takes about 25 minutes because I have thick thick hair. Then I lightly curled my hair. I kinda looked like Miley Cyrus when she was a teen. I did my makeup very natural so I didn't hear anything from Tasha. She doesn't care for makeup. She normally wears eye shadow, and mascara that's it. When she see's that I'm wearing more than that I get a lecture. I then walk into my walk-in closet and try and find an outfit that will work for today. I found a Back and orange striped tank top with a crisscross straps, then some dark dark grey almost black jean  shorts. For shoes I through on a pair of flat strappy sandals.

I walk out of my room at the exact same time Derek walks out of his. "Aw Hell No!" I shake my head as Derek laughs. "We are not those friends who dress alike!" I point to Derek in shock. He's wear a black short sleeve top that has a orange ring around the neck and the end of the two sleeves. He's wearing dark dark grey almost black jeans. "This is to funny! I'm not changing, I think Natasha will get a laugh out of this!" Derek walks past me to head downstairs. "She already think we're dating this will just put the cherry on top for her!" I whisper under my breath. "What?" Derek turns back to look at me. "Nothing!" I my eye's widen then I follow him down the stairs.
