When you were doing things right. Really doing things right, not just pretending to be doing something well.
Derek was of the belief that the universe itself seemed to feel it, and that same energy that you were giving out was fed back to you.
No one could convince him otherwise. Especially when it came to what he and Emily had. Before the two of them had become an official couple.
Emily had been just his PA and Derek had appreciated that about her. Often showing his appreciation through compliments, and salary bonuses. But Emily was his girlfriend now and the way in which Derek showed appreciation had changed to mirror that.
Sure the compliments were still there.
But there had been other things added on as well. There were hugs, there were kisses, there was love making. Anything and everything that he could give her, Derek did, making sure never to overstep. To make her feel uncomfortable or like he was pushing her in any way, shape, or form.
