I fell in and out of conscious for a while. Derek always by my side.

I had some fractured ribs and bruises to my face and arms.

"Owww." I breathed trying to get comfortable with sore bandaged ribs.

"Just lay down." Derek insisted

His hand on my arm. even with all the bruises, it didn't hurt. he has a sweet, gentle touch. "How long do I have to stay here? I want to finish the investigation and severely hurt Sophie." I said with a slight smile

"The doc said 4 weeks to let your ribs heal!" Derek smiled

"Can I walk around or?" I ask

"He said u could do that! after your ribs heal."

*5 weeks later*

I was in the shops looking at jeans when my phone rang.

"Hello Derek!" I smile into the phone.

"Hey! I just wanted to know if I could join you, seeing that I'm off to." he said

"Eh. sure! if you want. I'm just looking for some nice clothes though."

"That's alright. I'll meet you in deanim's in... hm... 5 seconds?"

"Wait what?!" I turn to see Derek walking towards me with a massive grin on his face.

"You butt" I exclaim

Derek just laughs

"Fine! but I'm trying on these jeans."

I walk over to the change room to try them on.

I close the door and lock it.

I turned to the mirror, I don't really look at myself much.

I have brown, sun bleached hair,

Brown eyes,

White teeth,

Slim figure.

5 minutes later, Derek is checking how the jeans look on me.

"Wow" he gasps

"What?" I ask

"You look georgouserer!"

"What? there just jeans"

"Get them, they're black so u can get em!"

"My favourite colour!"

I bought them and went with Derek to a coffee shop.

I ordered an iced coffee, he ordered a burger from the shop next door.

We chatted for 3 whole hours!

"It's 8:23!!!!" I scream

"Wow really?" he asks pulling out his phone.

"Well then I better go home."

I explain,

"Yeah same"

"See you tomorrow for work!" I gave him a polite kiss on the cheek and a hug. his hugs are warm and protective I thought. "alright! you've got to be bright eyed and bushy tailed for the mornin!" he laughs.
