Say You Love Me

Stronger [Bethany]

"Sadie, I'm hungryyyy" I whine to her. Mark and Derek are late. By an hour. Sadie gives me a sympathetic smile.

"I know girl, me too. They should be here soon!" Sadie says. "They just had a lot of troubles trying to get here."

I sigh. I was hungry, but I just really wanted to see Derek. I wanted to talk to him and hang out with out the stress of getting the next dance ready, which would happen possibly tomorrow.

"Bethany, what are you thinking of?"

"I just wish Mark and Derek will be here soon. I was looking forward to just chill with Derek and not worry about a dance for just a day, and focus on us." I say. Sadie then gives me a mischievous look.

"Foucus on us? Like you and Derek. I believe that's the second time that I've caught you talking about Derek like that! You so like him." She laughs evily. Damn it.

I act inncoently. "Please Sadie, why would I like Derek?"

She rolls her eyes then checks her phone. "Speaking of Derek, looks like him and Mark are here! Let's goooooo!" Sadie yells excitedly. I laugh and pick up my purse. Glancing one last time in the mirror, I head to the front of the studio with Sadie. As we were opening the door out, he comes in. Derek. He's wearing a nice dress shirt that makes him look elegant yet casual. His face lights up when we make eye contact. We both just automatically come closer to give eachother a hug and it feels so comforting, like his arms and mine were made to be around eachother. "Ok. I know it's been like sooooo long since tonight's dance and you haven't seen eachother in like forever, but I'm so hungry I could eat both of you!" I jump at hearing Mark's voice, and look to see Mark leaning against the door frame. We all start laughing.

"Couldn't agree with you more Mark, let's go!" Sadie says as she grabs Mark's arm and skips to the car. Derek and I laugh. We still have our arms around eachother. I look up in to his eyes and can't help myself from getting lost in them. Then I hear Mark's car horn. We're both startled, but then release our hug to go to the car. Then I feel his hand around my waist. I look up to him and he's already smiling. I feel such a warm feeling growing in my heart, the butterflies in my stomach getting stronger and stronger. But even if I feel nervous, I'll have Derek and Sadie and Mark tonight. I smile at put my arm around his waist and continue to walk to the car. Once we get there, Derek opens the back door, and holds it open for me. Aweh, so sweet. I say thank you and get in the car beside Sadie while Derek closes the door and gets in the passenger seat next to Mark.

"Ok ladies and gentlemen, are we ready to have a night remember?" Mark asks.

"Forget a night to remember, I'll just be happy with food!" Sadie yells. We all laugh.

"Yes ma'am, we're on a way to our first destination! Which will be..." Derek pauses to let Mark answer.

He laughs. "You'll just have to wait."
