First off SORRY! Sorry for the wait! The college thing happened, and I needed time to adjust before I could settle into a good writing schedule that I could balance with school work.

Also I would have posted yesterday, but you can thank my brother for that, haha, he got me into a show on Netflix and I watched it all day yesterday! And *cough* today *cough* Prison Break is a really good show.

But onto my story! What happens after the dream mishap?

***If you are a fan of Smash and Pirates of the Caribbean go check out my story Pirates of Manhattan!***

The shower was a long one, she tried to wash off all her feelings from the morning in the scorching hot water, but it wasn't working, her mind would drift back to the kiss, and his mumbles, and of course his muscles.

Damn!

She couldn't be feeling this way! It would complicate things too much! She couldn't do this!

But she wanted to.

No! No! No! She shook her head and drenched her face in the water. The thing was, he thought it was a dream. How would he think it was a dream unless he had had them before, like that, and apparently he liked it, she could feel as much when she was against him.

After getting thoroughly clean, body and mind, she headed out wearing her dance clothes and went to the kitchen where Derek was making coffee.

"Oh you are my hero!" At his confused look she smiled and said, "Coffee, I always start my day with coffee. I appreciate what Tom did for me, but he drinks tea in the morning and it is gross!"

Derek laughed and poured her a mug and pulled out the sugar and cream for her to fix it however she likes. Once they both got their coffee and sat down across from each other on the kitchen bar Derek said, "So are you ready for your surprise?"

Karen nodded and waited, ever since she got back from the shower Derek hadn't met her eyes, but, finally, he looked up, locked her gaze and said, "Well, the creative group and I have been talking.." He paused to gauge her reaction, she let nothing pass, "We decided that the star was not necessary."

Karen almost quit breathing, but no, he couldn't mean what she thought he did, "What do you mean?"

"I mean," He slipped some excitement into the word, "we have a perfect Marilyn already, and we don't need a bright star to replace a shining one.

Karen practically jumped out of her chair and she looked at Derek, "Me!?" When he stood as well and nodded she squealed and ran around to Derek and pretty much launched herself at him, her arms wrapped around his neck, and his wrapped around her waist, and again, like on stage that night, he spun her around, smiling at her smile.

Her smile lit up the room unlike anything else and when he set her on her feet their eyes locked and she tilted her head up to his as he lowered his, but a ringing made them both jump apart. It took them a moment to realize what it was, but soon enough Karen realized it was her phone, so she picked up her phone and saw it was Dev on the line.

She was fuming, and confused, and exhilarated, all at the same time, so when she saw her phone light up with his name on it, well, she slightly lost it. She clicked the accept button and yelled into the line, "Do not ever call me again! You have moved on, and so will I, I will pick up my stuff as soon as I can so there will be plenty of room for RJ. Never call again, goodbye." As she went to hang up the phone her smart phone 'sense' settings made the motion transfer to speakerphone and she, and Derek heard Dev yell, "Please, Karen, Please don't hang up on me! Just tell me where you are, I will pick you up and we can talk about it!"

She looked up at Derek when she heard him sigh, and she saw him mouth the words, "May I?" She knew what he was asking, did she want to let him say where she was, Dev would jump to the conclusion that she was with him that night, it would crush him. Did she want to do that? She thought about their past, and their happiness, all thrown away by Dev on that night, yes, she wanted this. Karen nodded her head. Derek nodded and smiled.

When Karen went to take a shower Derek did all he could to get her sweet smell off of him, the feel of her skin, though, was branded into him, and he wanted it back so bad, having her that close, responding like she did, it felt like a dream, that is why he thought it was one, but when she pushed away his stomach dropped.

He had pretty much told her that he has had dreams of her. But she laughed it off, and went to shower like it didn't cross her mind. She was too smart for that to not register.

He shrugged, maybe she was just shocked, but the thing that made him stop was the fact that she had responded, opening her mouth, and that moan. Just the memory of it was almost enough to make his knees jelly.

Then, after he had told her the surprise it seemed like they were going to kiss again, and he was so happy he hadn't waited until they were in the studio, like he was going to do, but that piece of manure interrupted, yet again, causing Derek to hate him to his core.

When Karen gave him permission he beamed, but quickly covered the smile and put his best acting foot forward, he wasn't always a director.

He slurred his words like he was just waking up and mumbled, "What's all the racket poppet, why don't you come back to bed with me and forget about whoever is on the line?"

Derek was worried that he had gone too far, but by the smirk on her face he knew he was being perfect and the smirk widened when she heard Dev say, Karen? Karen, who was that?"

Karen went along with it and covered the mouthpiece halfway, so he could hear, but it sounded muffled so it would seem like she was trying to block out her speech, "Derek, one second, I'll be back to bed soon." And she walked up to Derek and kissed his cheek giving it a good pop sound, though the touch sent chills through him, he knew it was acting, but there was no helping it.

She then lifted her hand and said, "Don't call me again Dev I am not telling you where I am, because I don't want you coming for me, not anymore, it is over."

Again, before she could hang up they heard him yelling certain obscenities toward Derek, but she hung up.

"I'm going to shower, then we will go to the studio alright Miss Marilyn?" Derek smiled and walked to the bathroom for a long, cold shower.

Okay, that was the next chapter!
