Shameless Cast Derek Novels & Stories

“See, I am not stupid, right. You are foolishly crushing hard over an old man. Carlos breathes, you melt. He looks away, you shatter like broken glass. Remember, that tall, brooding guy with eight pack abs is your ex’s uncle. I repeat, an uncle! He is an old fogey, Whisker!” “He isn’t that old.” I spoke meekly, trying to defend myself. Derek said with a mocking grimace. “So now I am fighting for attention with a vampire daddy? Do I need to start wearing blood-red contacts and lurking in the shadow, too?” Despite the seriousness of the situation, a laugh escaped me. Derek’s cute pout removed the unease of his nagging as I grabbed my earlobes, apologizing.

Derek was trying to give me those big brother eyes but every part of me wanted to gouge them out of his head. He cleared his throat and as promised started from the beginning. When he finally realized how obsessed Christian was with me and would stop at nothing to make me his, which of course made me smile because I was just as obsessed with him, Derek decided to get money together and move out of town by the end of the school year.

“I have always been me.” “yeah right.” He said with snort. We sat in silence, staring at the night sky. The air is getting chilly, but not enough to have someone running into the house. my wolf also feels at ease. “what happened today, man? I haven’t seen you in such foul mood in a long time.” I said, breaking the silence. Derek let out a loud exhale. “I don’t know. its just one of those days. I had woken up sour, feeling like the world around me is crumbling. Maybe because I keep having to hide what I love to do due to shame. I am tired. Calvin.”

I could see his third leg dangling and I gasped covering my eyes. I felt myself being lifted up from the ground. “ Why are you covering your eyes, are you still shying on me ” Derek said as he held her in his embrace. “ You... You're still naked ” I said still covering my eyes. “ Hmm ” he hummed and then he pried the duvet away from my body leaving me naked as him and I gasped. “ How about now ” he said with a smirk. “ Oh my God, Derek.... You, since when did you become this shameless ” I said trying to hide my body with my hands.

"I feel like a complete dumbass right now." "I'm not proud of what I did." Derek shook his head. "I didn't know how to tell you." "It would've been nice to know who I was inviting into my life, but I guess people like you and your Dad know how to put on a show until the abusive side shows its dirty face." I sneered. "I'm not sure what scares me more, maybe it was the horror stories of how you treated your teammates or how you beat up your girlfriend." Derek's hands angrily fisted his hair. "It was an accident!"

He let out a frustrated sigh as he let go and faced the incoming person who disrupted our intimacy -reality sunk in like gravity, grounding us back to earth. The hazy figure formed into Cooper. "Yo, Derek! What's..." he trailed as he saw me. His eyes bugged out from shock and mirroring my hilarious 'you got busted' expression. That my friend, was a sign that my doofus best friend was just like Derek. A pureblood. "You too, Cooper?" I asked, quite shocked that I didn't see this one coming. Derek turned to face me, looking sheepish,"Sorry. I failed to mention that Cooper is a pureblood too."

It would probably be closer to a week before he forgot about it, or at least stopped asking whenever we had sex. The fact that Derek was laughing made me think he must be pretty confident… about something. I pushed that thought away as fast as I could. “Whatever, you’re both disgusting.” “Somebody else is pretty uptight,” Derek said over his shoulder. “Amen,” Shanna agreed. “Fuck you,” I said humorously to Derek. “And you, too,” I added to the rearview mirror. “She’s got a whole diamond mine in her ass,” Shanna said. “I hear it’s like the De Beers company back there,” Derek agreed.

“If it wasn’t for you, we would never have found her.” I swallowed. “It wasn’t just me,” I said. They were already shaking their heads. Behind them, at the edge of the parking lot, I saw Derek. He was standing there with his hands in his pockets, his expression complicated. Even dressed down, he looked completely out of place. As Mrs. Chen thanked me again for not giving up, I saw his jaw tighten. Not in disapproval, but in discomfort. Maybe even shame. When everyone had dispersed, going back to their usual lives, he walked up to me. “I didn’t realize,” he said, glancing back at the shelter, “that you did all that.”

He grinned, though his eyes betrayed him with a real curiosity. Derek naturally was confident because of his sharp, defined features, his green eyes ever twinkling with an air of mischief. His hair cropped short, dark, and with a bit of stubble, Derek wasn’t as imposing as Liam but with a certain charm to him. Where Liam held himself in reserve, Derek was one of those who would crack the tension with a single smile or some well-timed joke. He was wearing his trademark leather jacket and boots, the image of a person who could take care of himself in a fight, but also in negotiation.

There was a thud on the floor which grabbed the attention of Maya and paved the way to murmurings in the hall. Derek had just dropped something to the floor, a file to be precise, although unseen to the audience. And just before he realized what had happened and turned away from Maya in shame, he had actually been glaring at her, for reasons already obvious. He didn’t think she needed to paint him in the badlight to soften her own play in the story. Clem thought so too. But Shane could care less. Derek had been at fault then, and still now. He was even thinking that his friend must have shaken hands with bad luck.
