Living next to Derek Walter

Chapter 2

"Ughhhh" I wake up with a pounding headache. I groan and try to turn over but there is something holding me down by my waist. I look down to see a tan muscular arm.

Oh my God what did I do lastnight!

I check under the sheets to see that although I'm half-naked I still had my undergerments on. I turn to see who was attached to the arm and come face to face with

a sleeping Derek.

Then lastnight hit me like a ton of bricks.

*Flashback*

Once I get to the table, I'm sitting between Sophie and Derek. James on the other side of Derek, Mom and Dad at the heads of the tables and Mr. and Mrs. Walter and Nate sitting across from me. Once I'm settled in my seat we get started with Grace and serving the food. Everyone is talking like old buddies. Mom and Stephanie are giggling on one end, While Dad and John are talking about the game last week on the other end. Even James and Derek are acting like best friends. I just sit quietly and eat my food and occasionally sip at my champagne.

I stop my cycle when I feel a hand on my thigh. I look up to see the hand belongs to none other but Derek.

"What's wrong buttercup? You look like someone pissed in your food." Derek tells me after finishing his conversation with James.

"No, I just have better places to be than here." I mutter. His hand on my thigh gradually moves up a little higher I stop him before he gets to the hem of my dress. "Your a little to comfortable don't you think?!" I whisper yell at him.

"Not comfortable enough." I think I hear him mutter, but before I get to ask him what he means, Stephanie brings me into their conversation.

"So Kathy, how old are you?" Stephanie asks and suddenly all conversation stops and all eyes are on me.

Like really guys? I don't know why my parents and James are looking at me like their expecting some answer they didn't already know

"18" I mutter barely looking up to meet her eyes. "Oh really, My Derek here is 19, maybe you guys can hang out and you can show him around town sometime. You get to know one another and what not." I snap my head up to hers at the same time Derek inches higher up my leg. I down my glass of wine and pour myself another and down that one as well.

"So what do you say Kathy?" Stephanie asks with the biggest smile ever.

I look up to Derek to see him staring at me with a look daring me to say no.

I mean how bad could it be? Hanging with a hot guy, who knows it might lead to something else.

Who am I kidding, Derek would probably never want to hang out with me. Or let alone, let it lead into something more than friends.

Derek squeezes my thigh and pulling me out of my thoughts. "Umm.. sure. Why not? Unless you wouldn't want to then it's cool too. But if you did want to then that would be cool too. You know what how-" "

Kathy!" Derek yells and stopping my endless babble "I said I would love to." Derek smiles, his beautiful white, straight teeth shining while he does so. I give a small smile back and put my head down to play with my hands in my lap. I hardly realize when Derek leans down and whispers into my ear "I would really love to." His fresh breath causing my breath to hitch and Goosebumps to grow onto my arms.

I drink another glass and it goes straight to my head. Ugh I'm such a light weight.

Derek squeezes my thigh making my eyes meet his. "Stop it , your gonna make yourself sick." Derek says in a demanding voice that has me drop my glass in a blink of an eye. But my more defiant side has me pick my glass up again just to show him he can't control me.
