Stay By My Side

Chapter Eleven

Stiles' POV

It has been a week since our first date and I still get butterflies every time I think about it. We haven't got the time to get together after that because we've both been extremely busy. Derek was busy with his company and I'm busy with my college works and my jobs. Juggling between three jobs and college was not easy for me. But talking to Derek on the phone and texting him always makes me forget about all the stress for a while.

"Dude! Stop day dreaming about Derek and get to work!" I hear Isaac yell and I snap out of whatever trance I was in. "I am working Isaac!" I say, acting offended. "Sure you were." Isaac comments back in his usual sarcastic tone. It makes me happy that Isaac is being a little open and talkative now. It makes me happy to see him happy. I laugh at his dorkiness and get back to work. I'm happy today because I get my salary and I can finally pay my rent that is due in like two days. I don't want the owner of the building threatening me to kick me out of the apartment again.

After I finish my work time and collect my salary I go to attend my class. The classes go smoothly, the teacher reminds us about how we need to study harder as the finals are nearing. I just wanna bang my head against the wall just thinking about the finals. Ugh. Just few more hours and I am gonna meet Scott for a coffee break.

"Dude! Guess what?!" I heard Scott say cheerily as he approached near me. I rolled my eyes at his behaviour. "Yell like a mad man, why don't you! And hello to you too Scotty." I said in a Sarcastic tone and he smiled at me sheepishly. "Hey Stiles!" Scott smiled brightly as we hugged each other and sat on one of the benches that we're on the side of the park. "Why did you call me to meet you at the park?" I asked Scott and we were in one at the moment. "It was nearer for both of us to meet. Plus I wanted some change of scenery." Scott explained and I nodded my head in agreement. "And what were you saying earlier?" I asked curiously.
"Oh! Yes dude! I got us tickets for the new this new movie we were talking about last time!" Scott grinned and I joined him too grinning like a Cheshire cat! "Seriously! Dude, you got us tickets to The American Assassin movie?!" I grinned even more as Scott nodded his head. "Oh my God! Scotty! I love you Bro!" I smiled wide pulling him into a hug.

"That Dylan guy is really talented man! And he's really good looking. Also if I think about it, you two look alike." Scott said narrowing his eyes on me and I snorted. "I'm flattered you think that." I said in amusement.
"Oh right, you like that guy who plays Superman on that series Supergirl." Scott said and I sighed dreamily remembering him. "Well duh! Have you seen the guy? Those muscles, those beautiful green eyes, that perfect face. What's not to like?" I asked looking at Scott. "You know, he kinda looks like Derek." Scott said and I blushed because he kinda did look like Derek. But Derek was more good looking than him. "That is why you like him don't you!" Scott asked and I felt my cheeks heat up. "And what about you and Isaac?" I asked without answering his question and Scott went quiet. "What about us?" He questioned looking innocent which almost made me drop the question. Almost.
"You two seem pretty close nowadays." I said in a teasing tone. "Well we're friends and he's a cool guy." Scott shrugged but I could see the tint of redness creeping on his neck and the tip of his ears.

"Anyway I need to go. My classes will start soon." I said as we both got up. "Sure, and don't forget the about the movie this Saturday!" Scott reminded me. "Yeah, yeah!" I said as we both hugged each other and parted our ways. The rest of the class was pretty boring and I'd be lying if I say that I didn't think about Derek. Sometimes he's all I can think about because it feels like he's the only one who has made me truly happy. But then I think about how I'm not good enough for him and it makes me sad because he deserves better than someone like me. But I guess that's just my scared part of the brain is thinking and I push it away.

I get to my apartment around 5 pm and as I walk to the door I see a figure sitting with their back against it. As I walk nearer I realize that its Derek and just stare for few seconds. "Derek?" I call out and he looks up and smiles brightly immediately which makes my heart flutter. "Hey, Stiles!" He says getting up and now he's standing in front of me. "What are you doing here?" I ask the shocked tone evident in my voice. "Nothing, I was just driving by this way and thought I'd give you a surprise but you weren't here so I waited for you." Derek explained and I couldn't help but smile at his caring tendencies. "I'm so sorry that I wasn't here. My classes ran late and you should've called I would've missed a few class." I stated and he just shrugged. "I told you, I wanted to surprise you." Derek said and I smiled at him. "I am surprised." I said making Derek smile. "I missed you. And one whole week since I've seen you." Derek said and leaned down to kiss me which I wasn't expecting a all. I made a squeaking sound as his lips met mine and his hands grabbed my waist, but I kissed back fast because I had missed him as well. "I missed you too." I whispered as I brought my arms around his neck to hug him.

We got inside my apartment and Derek was looking around here and there which I find stupid because there's nothing to look. "I wanted to ask you something." Derek said as we both sat down on the couch. I had gotten both of us sodas which I drank before nodding, giving him the signal to continue. "Are you free day after tomorrow?" He asked. "At what time?" I questioned. "Oh, around seven in the evening. I have hosted a party and I want you to be my date." He answered and I didn't know how to react. "This will be like our second date. I really like you Stiles. You're so different from everything and your beauty makes my heart wanna jump out of my chest. And this may be going fast but will you be my boyfriend?" Derek had my hands in his, caressing softly looking in my eyes with hope filled in them and without even thinking I answered. "Yes." I breathed out and I didn't care about anything at that moment because I was so happy. I have a boyfriend and he is Derek Hale!

"Do you have to go?" I whined as we stood at the door. Derek had to leave because he had a stupid meeting. "I mean who organizes meeting this late?" I pouted and Derek wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. "Well that would be my uncle Peter. He doesn't really care about what time it is." He answered. "I wish you didn't have to go." I sighed feeling sad because I would be alone again. "Believe me, there's nothing more I want than to stay with you and kiss your pretty face but I really have to go babe." Derek said and I felt my cheeks flush at the nick name. Derek must've noticed my state and brought his hand under my chin making me look up at him into his gorgeous green eyes. "I'll call you and we'll see each other day after tomorrow, so don't be sad love." He said and kissed my on the lips. After a few seconds we parted from kissing and he hugged me before he left. I went to my room and smiled thinking about the kiss as I fell asleep.
