Chapter 18 - The Perfect Prom Date

That night, me and Derrick was watching a movie, he was sitting on the couch and I was sitting beside him, leaning my head on his chest. it felt nice, but I was a little worried becuase Derrick still hadn't asked me to be his girlfriend yet. did he just think that when I told him I loved him and that he told me he loved me back, that meant we was officially a couple? I was sure, and I really didnt know how to bring it up the conversation either, I looked up at him and he was staring at me, he smiled when our eyes met.

"Was you staring at me and not watching the movie?" I ask smiling back at him.

"Maybe, but how can you blame me, your beautiful."

"Oh Derrick, your gonna make me blush" I said looking down, cause I was already blushing blood red. his puts his fingers under my chin and pulled my face up, so he could look into my eyes.

"Looks like your already blushing sweety." he whispered, leaning closer until our lips were a inch apart, my breath caught in my throat and I had to remember to breath, Derrick just smirked, he loved that he had this kind of power over me, he never said anything but I could tell. his lips were coming closer when we heard a knock on the front door, he pulled back as my mom came from the kitchen to answer the door.

"Oh, well hello there." she said stepping back, so who ever it was could come in. me and Derrick watch as Robert came through the door smiling, I looked over at Derrick to see his reaction, but he his expression didnt give anything away, it was unreadable, which wasn't good, Derrick was mad and didn't want to show it, very very bad.

"Thank you, Mrs Johson. is Megan home?" he asked and mom pointed toward the livingroom where me and Derrick was. as soon as Robert seen who I was with, his smile faded.

"Well I gotta finish making dinner, so if you excuse me." mom said before walking back to the kitchen, I looked after her, wishing she could hear my thoughts, because I could tell this wasnt going to end well, and mom would be able to stop it better than me.

"Hi Megan." Robert said not even looking at me, he was glaring at Derrick, just like Derrick was glaring at him. "is it okay, if I come in and join you guys, I wanted to see you Megan, I really missed you." after Robert said that I heard Derrick growl, Robert smirked. "whats wrong Derrick, dont tell me your jealous."

"Maybe I am, or maybe i'm just really pissed off, that your messing with my girl." Derrick said standing up, I wanted to grab his arm and make him sit back down, but to be honest, maybe Robert would see who I wanted to be with, and leave me alone.

"Oh come on old friend, your gonna let a girl come between our friendship?" Robert said stepping closer toward Derrick, "but wait, no we aren't friends anymore are we? and to be honest, Megan wants me just as much as I want her, she might say no, but actions speak louder than words, she kissed me back the other day, and Im gonna fight for her Derrick, no matter what." he leaned around Derrick to wink and smile at me, I glared at him. "oh come on Megan, you know you like me, stop lieing to yourself."

"Stop looking and talking to her damn it, shes mine." Derrick yelled and pushed Robert, and made him fall. Robert glared up at Derrick for a couple of seconds than stood up and had his fist clenched, and started walking toward Derrick, when mom walked in, so i'm guessing she heard Derrick yell.

"What the hell is going on here?" she yelled stepping in between Robert and Derrick, and I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding, thank god mom came, I dont know what I would of done, if it would of turned into a fight. "Robert, I'm sorry but I do not allow fighting inside my house, and Derrick you know better. if you boys wanna fight, right there is the door." mom said pointing to the door. "take it outside." what the hell was she doing, I didnt want them to fight, that was the point of wanting her in here, so she would stop it.

"No thats okay, Mrs Johnson, I wont cause anymore trouble at your house, me and Derrick are just gonna have to find another place to do this at, perhaps maybe even another time, its getting pretty late and my mom is expecting me home." Derrick snorted after Robert said that, I looked at his face confused, but he just shook his head. "good night Megan, hopefully we will be able to talk some other time."

"I do need to talk to you about some things Robert, but like you said, perhaps another time." Robert nodded smiling at me "good night than." he nodded again and walked to the door and left. I sighed and let my head fall into my hands, this was getting out of hand, I didnt want them fighting over me. I felt a hand touch my arm and I looked up to see Derrick. "you didn't have to push him you know." I said annoyed, mostly at myself.

"I'm sorry Megan, but he just pushed my buttons."

"Your acting like I'm your girlfriend Derrick, I dont remember you asking to be your girlfriend." as soon as I said the words I felt bad. he looked away, but not before I seen the pain in his eyes, the pain I caused.

"I thought we was already boyfriend and girlfriend Megan, but if you still want Robert, I wont stop you, I'm sure if you run you can catch him." he whispered still looking away, I looked over and mom was looking at us with sad eyes, as soon as our eyes met she nodded and walked to the kitchen, so I guessed she could see in my eyes that I needed to be alone with Derrick right now.

"Derrick, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that, what I meant was you never asked me. I dont want Robert, I want you. and to be honest your really cute when your mad." I said smiling a little, hoping that my attempt would work.

"Megan" he whispered, "I love you, and I want you to be my wife someday." he looked back at me and I could see he was dead serious. "would you be my girlfriend, Megan Johnson?" I blinked a couple of times, shocked and than I smiled and nodded. he smiled and grabbed my face and kissed me. thank god it was finally offical I was Derrick's girl, and nothing could change that.
