Where the Secrets Lie

Heated Moments

After dinner with Derric's parents, me and Derric helped clean the kitchen. His parents decided on letting us spend time with us while they finished working from home. We washed the dishes and put the dry ones away. I was in the middle of cleaning the island when I felt hands circle around my waist. I could feel his breath on my neck and he knew it was a weakness. I was turned around and we started passionately kissing. After the kiss, he placed his forehead against mine. "You were very sexy tonight." I laughed when he chuckled and the look he gave me made me feel deep feelings.

We kissed again, but this kiss was more heated than before. Derric and I stopped making out. I broke the silence and ran my hand through his hair. "You are always sexy. Every night." He looked up at me and pulled me into a hug. "You are such a good woman." "I like the sound of woman. I was a bit tired of lady." I laughed and he smiled at me. Then, I asked about Jade and hoped I wasn't treading on water. "Is Jade Caroline's daughter?" Derric raised his head up to me and took in a deep breath. "Yes and no, she's not mine. I promise." "I already knew that, love." He smirked at me and kissed my forehead.

As the night ended, we decided it'd be best to head back to the college, but that was ruined when Fred turned the TV on. "Tonight, we are looking thunderstorms through out the Derby city area. Derric and I sighed and hoped that everyone at the college were okay. "Well Serenity, you are welcome to sleep in Analise's room. She's out of town with a few friends." I nodded and thanked her. She showed me to Analise's room and went out of the room for a minute. She came back again with some clothes that would fit me. "Here, deary. These should fit you." "Thank you, Mrs. Addams." She gave me smile and then hugged me.

"Just call me, Bridget." I agreed with her and then she wished me a good nights rest. As the door closed, I grabbed the clothes and went to the bathroom. I took off my ankle boots and dress. I picked up the clothes and noticed that the shirt wasn't Analise's. I smiled at the thought of him and how sweet he was to grab my dufflebag. I put on my black shorts that hugged my thighs and Derric's black shirt. Looking in the mirror, I noticed that Derric's shirt reached my mid thigh. It was comfy though. I opened the bathroom door and reached the bed. I was about to get in the bed when I heard a small knock.

I walked over to the door and opened it to find Jade. "Hey sweetie. Are you okay?" She was holding her teddy bear tight and had her thumb in her mouth. "Scawed." I tilt my head and smile at her. "Wanna sleep in here with me?" She smiled and shook her head yes. I let Jade in the room and she waited for me at the bed. Once I closed the door, I went over to Jade and picked her up. I set her down in the bed and covered her up. I went to the other side and slid under the covers with her. "Tank you, Sese." I smile and kiss her forehead. We both get comfortable and fall asleep. I heard small noises and tried to sleep.

As I switched sides to lay on, I jump at the presence of Derric. "Hey, love." "Derric, what are you doing up?" Derric looked over at Jade and back at me. "I adopted Jade. She's legally mine, Serenity. Is that a problem for our relationship?" I smile and sit up in bed. I touch his face and smile. "No. Plus, that just makes you more attractive." He smiled back and kissed me. "Wanna lay with us?" He almost hesitated, but then agreed. I scooted Jade and myself over for Derric. I laid on Derric's chest and let him stroke my arm. "Serenity?" "Hmm." Derric looked down at me and saw I was about to fall sleep. "Serenity, I love you." My heart fluttered and I had butterflies. "I love you too, Derric." I fell into a deep sleep while listening to Derric's heart beat. "Goodnight, love."

The next morning, I woke to a small body between me and Derric. When my eyes fluttered open, I was met with a beautiful picture. Derric and Jade were cuddled together, sound asleep. I quietly got up and went to the bathroom. I turned the shower on, stripped myself down, opened the shower door, put my warm feet onto the cold stone floor, closed the shower door and stood with my forehead on the wall letting the warm water fall over me. I heard the shower door close again and was interrupted by Derric. "Where's Jade?" "She's in the kitchen with my mom." I nodded and tried to cover myself with my arms. Derric shook his head and moved them away from my body. "Don't hide yourself from me."

He backed me against the shower wall and kissed my neck. I was about to make a sound, but was stopped. He shook his head no and began feeling me up. His touch sent chills down my spine and that's when he lifted me up. I, unkowingly, wrapped my legs around his waist while we still kissed. Derric's hair was spiked up and now flat. We stopped kissing and he put me down. I bit my lip and Derric noticed. I let him take some water for his shower. "Don't do that." I smirk and walk closer to him. Derric seemed intimidated by me and I enjoyed it. "Why?" "Cause it makes me want to do things." I smile and lean myself, sexily against the opposite wall of him. "I wouldn't mind." I pushed myself off the wall and walked out of the shower.

I grabbed a towel and started drying off when I was no longer alone. "Speaking of the subject a minute ago. Have you, you know?" I laugh and smile at him. I remember in the diner and he answered my wuestion on what we were. I decided to do to him what he did to me. "In due time you'll find out, love." Derric noticed the reference and chuckled at me. "I see what you did there." He walked over to me and kissed me again. That's the third time he's kissed me today. "Speaking of the reference used, what are we, Derric?" He looked at me, those bluish green eyes hypnotizing me, and placed his forehead aginst mine. "What do you think we are?"

I smile and laugh. "A couple." He kissed my forehead and walked to the door to leave. "Then a couple we shall be." Hearing that made me feel all gitty inside and then I remembered I needed to answer his question. Maybe I should play with him a little and I finished getting dressed. I looked in my dufflebag and found black skinny jeans, a white tshirt and my red converses. I dryed my hair off some more with the towel and let the necklace fall over my shirt. I walked out of the room and walk down the stairs into the living room. I smelled food and smelled a familiar cologne. Walking into the kitchen, I found my Hades sitting with his 'daughter', eating breakfast and laughing at his parents arguing. I sat on the other side of Jade and earned a plate of food in front of me.

"So, Derric. What are you and Serenity goign to be doing today?" It was Saturday and we would have been bored at the college, so I did also wonder myself as well. "Well, that's a surprise mom cause Serenity doesn't know about it." Bridget makes an 'oh' and then continues pouring coffee. "Well, that must be lovely and don't forget, dear. We have that community ball coming up. I would assume you'd like to bring Serenity." Derric chuckled and looks at his mother. "Yes, mother. Serenity and I will be attending." She starts getting happy and clapping her hands. "Well, that's just lovely. Cause I planned for the next weekend to take her dress shopping. Serenity, dear, please invite your parents." "Will do, ma'am." Bridget stopped and turned to look at me. "Serenity, dear, it's Bridget." I forgot and changed my response.

"Will do, Bridget." "Very good, dear." His parents leave the kitchen with Jade to get her ready for her ballet practice. Derric got up and grabbed our plates. He went to the sink, after the trash can, and set the dishes in it. "Well, come on. We have an adventure waiting for us." I laugh and follow him to his car. He opened the door for me and hurriedly went to his side of the car. "You know I'm a virgin, right?" Derric stopped and looked at me. "You-you're, really?" I shook my head and hid my face. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have told you." Derric looked at me and saw I was embarassed. "Hey, it's okay. I'll go easy in the future, okay." I looked at him sideways and saw his eyes gave me reassurance. "Why?" "I'd wait for you. Until you were ready, of course."

Such a gentleman, but when's the rudness coming. The last time he was a gentleman like that he was rude afterwards. Of course, the rudeness was a bit my fault cause I was prying in an area he wasn't ready for.
