Derek's head bent down just far enough to reach Casey's lips. Her eyes fluttered shut from the happiness that spread through her. His lips met hers with passion she'd never felt before. The warmth of his lips caused a slight moan to bubble up from the back of her throat.

"Derek…"

A loud crashing sound brought Casey out of whatever mental lapse she seemed to be in at the moment.

"Oh Shit…" Cassandra whispered.

"Cassandra? What happened?" Casey asked still half asleep.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to wake you. I was just grabbing my textbook and in Casey fashion, dropped it."

Casey rubbed at her eyes and watched Cassandra leave the dorm room they happened to share. Once again took a moment for things to register in her mind. She had a dream about Derek. She had a dream about KISSING Derek! She help her head in her hands like she'd seen Derek do just two week prior. She was doomed.

Casey sat in the back of the relatively large lecture hall resting her chin on the palm of her hand. Claire sat beside her looking at her every few minutes. Casey didn't hear a thing the professor said, she was too busy thinking about Derek. Ever since Sam told her everything she couldn't keep her mind off Derek.

Eventually Claire had had enough so she butt in.

"Case? You ok?"

"Hmmm? Oh yeah I'm fine why?" Casey knew all too well why, she just wanted to see how much her friend knew considering she hadn't told anyone she was going to see Derek preform last night.

"You just seem dazed that's all."

"I'm fine thanks." Casey still didn't pay attention.

"Derek I know you're in there please talk to me. I'm sorry!" Casey was banging on Derek's door as he walked up behind her.

"Case? What are you doing here? What do you need this time?" Derek smirked at her as he opened his door.

"I don't need anything I just wanted to talk." She only took enough steps to be in his dorm but not enough to be considered 'invading his space'.

"Well it seems to me that you need my attention and willingness to talk which you don't have so you can go." He dismissed her with a wave of the hand not even bothering to look up from the laptop he just pulled out.

"Derek please-"

"I don't have anything to say to you! Leave." When he realized that he was yelling he bowed his head and hid behind his laptop. He didn't want another scene.

"Look Derek I'm sorry for what I did I wasn't thinking and did something I wish I hadn't."

"I. Don't. Care. Now leave before I escort you myself."

"Fine but I really am sorry and someday you'll forgive me." She left but Derek didn't answer her, just stared at his screen blankly.

Casey walked into the hallway closing his door slowly. She leaned against the door frame for a moment just getting her thoughts together. She seems to have made things worse by going over to see him. She wishes things were fixed, she wishes she didn't do what she did, but she wishes most that things could be different between them.

Casey made her way outside as Cassandra and Claire we passing by the building heading back from lunch. She didn't notice them at first but they sure noticed her. They began running to her, Cassandra remarkably more determined than Claire.

"Casey! Wait up!" Cassandra yelled catching up.

"Oh hey guys what's up?" Casey tried to act nonchalant putting her hands in her pockets.

"What's up with us!? What's up with you? Why are you coming out of a guy dorm and if I'm not mistaken DEREK'S DORM?"

"I just wanted to talk to him."

"Casey it was a one night stand you have to get over it. You can't change what happened. You need to get over it. You won." Cassandra gave her a concerned look.

"You guys don't understand. I love him and I needed to fix things."

"After one night? Nothing can be that good." Claire piped up.

"I beg to differ but it's not just that. It's all those years you guys never saw. All the moments I think of late at night. All the times he was with Marti and the times he stopped being his cocky self to help me in my neurotic moments. The Derek I know isn't the Derek you know. That's the Derek that I love."

Casey turned when she heard clapping just a few feet away. Derek was leaning on a lamp post watching and listening the whole time.

"Wow Spacey I knew one day all that fighting would be futile. I'm glad you finally came to you senses. I've been waiting a while." Derek pushed off of the post and walked over to her. When he made it to her he placed an arm around her shoulders like he'd done some many times before.

"And for the record… I love you to."
