When we got inside he plopped me down on the couch. He then put a movie in, and came and sat by me.
It was a very boring movie so yes I decided to snuggle up to Derek. Because as vile as he
had been in the past, a sweet spot was beginning to build up for him in me. He gave me a small smile and put his arm around me. And there I fell asleep listening to the sound of his heartbeat.
Derek's POV
I knew this movie would bore her. Success! Yes I guess I did hope she would snuggle up to me. What I didn't hope was that she would look so crazy adorable as she slept.
Her hazel amber mixtures eyes were now shut, her cute little nose flared in and out as she breathed, her freckles scattered from her nose to her high point of her cheekbones, she didn't have many freckles just some. What made me mad is she's so effortlessly perfect. You can't help but fall for her, but I'm trying very hard not too.
Katerina's POV
I woke up and instantly felt the warm arm laying around my waist. I smiled as I looked up at Derek. His hair was unintentionally swept into his eyes. He looked peaceful, which was all ruined when he woke up and looked at me, smirking of course.
"You had to ruin it didn't you?!" He looked confused, "Ruin what sweetheart?" I just rolled my eyes and got up. I looked out my window seeing it was raining, yay! I love the rain it's so peaceful. Without thinking I walked out into it. I think too much, about everything really, but if I sit in this rain maybe I can drown in something other than my thoughts.
There I stayed just sitting, allowing the raindrops collect on my skin. "Are you crazy?!? Hey out of the rain Kat!" I looked over to see a concerned Derek. He brushed his hands through his hair. All I did was smile. He shook his head and stepped out into the rain.
As he walked over to me I just stared at him. "Why are you out here?" He asked. "I'm letting the rain wash away all my pain." He laughed which made me laugh. He then sat down beside me. And we just stayed there in complete contentment. "Katerina?"
"Yes Derek?"
"Look at me." And that was all I needed to look into his gorgeous eyes. He smiled a genuine smile. He just looked at my face as if to take in every detail, like I was something to be memorized. I gave him a confusing glance as he started to lean in. Then it dawned on me he was going to kiss me! And for the first time ever I was okay with it.
As his lips pressed gently against mine, a wash of warmth spread throughout my now freezing body. Our lips moved in perfect sync. As we pulled away breathless, I realized he only tried a kiss nothing more. Which made me look into his eyes and give him a smile. I kissed his cheek and got up heading towards the door. A kiss in the rain? Too cliche for words.
We didn't talk for a bit, I took a shower in this time of silence. I was unsure of what he did.
Derek's POV
I heard her shower run as a strummed my guitar, trying to think of lyrics. I was in deep I knew that for sure. She was amazing and I can't not fall anymore.
I felt pathetic for falling just because I kissed her but fuck it.
Katerina's POV
I got out of the shower and went to my closet. I put on an oversized shirt and boxers. I had just settled down with my book when a big clap of thunder sounded overhead. The lights went out with it. So yeah call me a wimp but I screamed. Loud.
"Katerina!!!" A yell came from the hall. "Derek!!!" We soon met up in the hallway luckily he had a candle. "Okay here's what's gonna happen. I am your chef tonight you are gonna stay up here, I'll give you a few candles and you can dress up. Then I will escort you down to our first date." He said this a bit nervous but mostly calming.
"Okay." I said giving him a small smile. He then disappeared and came back with a few more candles. He lit them throughout my room. I was sadly falling for this, him. His smile when he left was a heart melting one. As I remembered him, and the kiss, I also remembered him saying get dressed up.
I quickly went to my closet. What to wear? My eyes spotted a baby blue sundress. Perfect! It was a halter style up too and a flare out at the bottom. It suited me we'll.I then grabbed some white keds, I also threw my hair up in a half up half down. I decided to only wear mascara, and a neutral eyeshadow look. Layla would be proud. I looked good.
As I was making final adjustments a knock came at my door. I opened only to find a note card. Katerina was printed on the cover. Follow the roses as red as your cheeks -Derek arrogant yet sweet. I then looked down the hallway a candle lit path of roses was held before me. I started to follow them.
