My Best Friends Brother

Awkward

Derek opened the door of his house and blinked rapidly.

"What?" I asked him

"People are inside,"

I gave him a 'no duh' look and he shook his head.

"As in, people from school," He said

"Uhh, let's go," I said grabbing his arm and was about to pull him away from the door when someone from inside called his name.

"Guess we got to go in now," I grumbled,

Derek smirked, "Were supposed to be in love, smile,"

I rolled my eyes at him but smiled anyways.

We walked quietly into the living room where all the popular kids were.

"Hi," I said to no one in particular.

"Hi," Mostly everyone replied.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked

They were all on the floor and were making one huge circle.

"Spin the bottle," Ty answered

"I'm going to sit this one out," I said and sat down on the couch.

"Come on you never play this game," Hannah said in protest.

"Yea chris, come on!" Some other people said.

"No, I'm fine," I said. 

Yes, I can be stubborn.

"Derek, make her play with us!" Ashley said.

Derek shrugged and looked at me straight in my eyes, "She doesn't have to play, I won't force her to do that," 

There was a hushed silence, broken by a group of very coordinated 'awws'

I couldn't help it, even if it was all an act for the whole 'dating Derek thing', it was still really sweet.

"Fine, I'll play," I said and then joined the circle.

The person next to me twitched their leg slightly and I realised I was sitting next to Marisa.

Talk about awkward.

I was about to start an awkward but very much needed conversation with her when someone began to spill the bottle.

It landed on me.

Oh joy, the person opposite me was Josh.

"Guess you and Josh have to go in the closet for five minutes," Hannah said.

This is why I hat this game.

I looked at Marisa and saw all the signs of controlled anger.

Clenched fists, tight jaw, purposely slow breathing...not so secretly giving me the stink eye.

She was angry, that much was clear.

And I understood, really, from her perspective it probably looked like I was trying to steal all the guys in her life.

First her brother and now her boyfriend.

Yeah, I can see where the anger stemmed from.

"Guys, I don't think that's such a good idea," I said.

"Yea, might be very awkward since both Josh and Christie are taken," Derek said, his voice forcefully even toned.

"But..." Hannah began, but quickly shut up when she saw Dereks face darken.

"I wouldn't mind, it is just a game right?" Josh said with a quick wink in my direction.

I frowned, "How about I just go in the closet with Dererk instead," 

It wasn't the best solution, especially where Marisa was concerned, but it was certainly better than having to be in a closet with Josh.

"Yea sure," Amy said.

I sighed in relief and saw less tension in Marisa.

Derek and I got up and headed to the medium sized closet.

"Don't have too much fun in ther now!" Some random jock called out.

I rolled my eyes and walked in the closet.

Derek walked in behind me and closed the closet door.

"So..." I said.

Sometimes, I really just get too awkward.

"Mess up your hair and rumful your shirt or something," Derek said.

Well, he clearly knows what he's doing.

I did what he asked and saw him doing the same thing.

"What are we doing?" I asked, mystefied at his actions.

"We're pretending that we are doing something," Derek replied.

Suddenly it all made sense.

I sat down and Derek sat down a little away from me.

"Is this what you do with most girls when you play this game?" I asked him.

He gave me a cheeky grin, "No, I usually do something else," He said, leaning towards me.

I raised an eyebrow at him and felt my heart do a crazy exotic dance in my chest.

I wasn't afraid of him though, I knew he wouldn't try anything weird with me.

I was just nervous, what does one do in these situations?

He just kept on leaning closer with that stupid smile on his face.

"Umm" I murmered, slightly frowning.

He suddenly banged his hand on the closet door which made a loud thud like noise.

"I'm just trying to make it same like were actually dating," He said.

"What are we going to do when they open the closet and tell us our time is up?"

 Derek paused and softly kicked the closet door, thankfully it wouldn't randomly swing open as they kindly shut the door tight from the outside, thus preventing us to leave.

"Guys, times up!" I heard someone yell.

I got up and was about to open the door when Derek grabbed my hand and gently pulled me towards him.

I looked up at him, stunned, our faces inches apart.

He was about to say something when we heard the door turning open.

Derek looked softly at me and murmered, "Sorry,"

Then he bent down and kissed me.
