Life With Derek Surprise Novels & Stories

Unbeknownst to most, Antonio's life has been unraveling for the past six months. Not only was he ill with no real explanation for what ails him from the many doctors he'd been to, but with the leaked rumors affecting business, his finances had taken a hit. Teresa had closed her shop, which had only just reopened after the lockdown when last I was here, because of the backlash from the rumors surrounding her own self and her part in the debauchery that took place throughout the village, first as a teen and now as a woman.

He looked at me like I had just asked a question that I was not supposed to ask. "I am so sorry." I apologized nervously. "You talk a lot." He mentioned as he opened the door to his beautiful house. Why did it feel like I lived in a house like this? Everything felt really familiar to me. What if I was rich just before I lost my memory? "I think I was a news reporter before I lost my memory! Or probably a lawyer... What do you think?" I rushed to his front, but he acted like I didn't even exist. Luke seemed very mysterious. Everything about him seemed like he was hiding something from me. I wanted to know those things that he was hiding from me, starting from the fact that his mother was livi

I held my breath when I recognized the bold walk of Derek Bloodmoon coming toward the cage. “Great, you’re both awake!” he said, grinning widely. The crowd burst into laughter, their teasing voices making my stomach turn. Axel growled, his deep warning cutting through the laughter. “You got us into a trap, Derek! Do you think this is funny?” Derek shrugged, calm and not bothered by Axel's anger. “I didn’t trick you,” he said, sounding cheerful. “I honestly thought my dad would welcome you both, but, well, things got exciting.”

"You sound surprised. Don't tell me you did not expect to find me at my own daughter's half-birthday." Derek just stared at me mutely for a moment and then blinked, shaking his head as the fakest smile appeared on his face. "No no, of course not. I am just sleep-deprived from my night shift and my brain just hit a pause button because I haven't seen you since that night at the club." I nodded, pretending to take his bullshit. "Come on in!" I said cheerily as I opened the door out wide for him. He mumbled a thanks as he entered.

He kissed me so deeply and after catching a breath, "And I was very serious when I said I love you. This is all new to me but I promise, I am here to stay. I'll carry you" "No, I'll walk. It's not like I lost a leg or something!" I chuckled and he swept me, carrying me in bridal style and I yelled, "Derek! No! Put me down!" "I love you so much, Chloe" ° ^ ° It had been two weeks since the shoot out thing and Derek and I shared a bed. Of course, nothing happened. I came to know from Max that Derek's birthday was on 25th and I learned that he never celebrates his birthday so I had an idea to throw him a surprise party with the help of his friends.

“ I crossed my arms and sighed, feeling the breeze on my face. “ This was certainly a wedding full of surprises! I didn't expect to meet you or that today we would have another engaged couple... “Dereck smiled, putting his hands in his pockets. “It’s true, life surprises us” I commented with a smile. It's funny that a few months ago I would never have been having a calm conversation with Dereck, I might have been being as unfriendly as possible, but now I couldn't even be rude to him. His presence didn't affect me at all. “It's a shame that commitments don't always mean there will be a wedding,” Derek said, but soon regretted it and looked at me. “ True, but it’s a good start. " I laughed.

"He’s got crazy eyes." I stifled a laugh, nudging her. "What? Don’t say that! Be nice." But Dara didn't move an inch. "I’m serious, Scar. Trust me, I know crazy. I’ve dated crazy. I’ve managed crazy. And that man right there has got crazy—" "Oh, hi Derek!" I called out, cutting her off as he reached us. "Scarlett," Derek said, his face breaking into a wide, almost too-eager smile. He looked at Dara, nodding politely. "I’m sorry to drop in like this. I just thought I’d surprise you."

“Damn, man, that’s fucked up.” “I know. For all the times for Chelsea to try and surprise me. I couldn’t believe –” “I don’t mean the situation. I mean you. Yeah, I know what you told me about that old broad’s mouth, but was it really worth all this?” “Well . . . I’m going to have to get back to you on that,” Derek answered bluntly. “Derek, don’t end up like me,” Q said seriously. “What do you mean? You live a life most men would kill for.”

So was she. When she finally took his hands, the world seemed to hold its breath. Derek spoke first, his voice shaking. “I spent my whole life being the funny one. The guy who made jokes so no one would notice he was scared. But with you, I don’t have to perform. I can just be. I promise to listen, to show up, to make you laugh even on the days when laughing is hard.”

It was bound to take a minute for us all to catch up. " Yea, I think we could all just hibernate for a week " I smiled at her , hoping I could see her smile back. But she just nodded mindlessly. "In fact, Derek plans to do that with Ava. They started off by hiding out in the cave near the lake so no one could see them. The day after tomorrow, when things are more settled with his dad and her mum and the pack, and all the funerals have happened . He plans to surprise her by camping out there for a few days. Maybe we could go do something like that. A few days away from everyone just getting to no one another "she looked at me. This time with real interest.
