Meg rushed down the steps and into the basement, tossing her bag on to the bed carelessly she raced towards the train to tell Derek about her plans for the weekend, more than that she wanted to see him.

"De-" she stopped abruptly in the process of calling out his name when the sight before her shocked her, Derek was fast asleep on the hammock and she was beyond surprised, never having seen him rest before. Her lips immediately sealed shut as she carefully tip-toed towards the hammock in her socked feet. Meg stopped just when she was close enough, peering at him cautiously.

He lay stretched across the hammock, one knee bent, the other foot sprawled off to the side. One of his muscular arms pillowed his head the other rested across his flat belly. Meg watched him with much interest, his height truly dawning to her when she realised he was too tall for the bed, but he looked so comfortable.

A tender smile stretched across her lips watching him adoringly. This must have been his first good rest in a while she mused, the sight of his peaceful face pulled at her heart strings. Meg wanted to treasure seeing him this way, no scowling, no pacing just pure serenity.

 His hard mouth had softened, his inky lashes fanned across his high-boned cheeks. Her gaze trailed down to the vast expanse of his chest that rose and fell peacefully, such deep and measured breathing. Meg began to wonder what it would feel like to fall asleep in his arms, they looked like they could soothe all her worries and lull her into a world of dreams, she couldn't help but stare utterly smitten.

Derek found himself stirring awake to a prickling stare, his raven lashes swept open startled to find Megra's pretty face staring down at him. He was even more astounded by the dazed misty look in her eyes, like she had just witnessed the most adorable thing on earth, his heart flipped internally under her ogling, which vanished when she blinked and gazed back him wide-eyed. But her surprise turned to one of content when a large mischievous grin curved her lips.

"How is the hammock?" She whispered condescendingly as if already knowing the answer, Derek stared at her passively, recovering from the fact that she was watching him sleep.

"You are creepy." He stated bluntly causing her to frown.

"That's the second time someone called me that," She muttered dejectedly as Derek sat up.

"Why, what did you do?" he asked regarding her with his pale eyes, she began shifting her gaze sheepishly.

"All I said was that Allison's hair smells nice."

"You smelt her hair?"

"Well I couldn't help it; it was an overpowering stench of raspberries and cream." Derek frowned feeling internally sick at the thought of hair that smelt like fruit, especially raspberries, he was never a fan of raspberries...or any berries.

"I am not a fan of fruity smelling hair; it seems to be popular among teenagers these days." Derek mused keep his unwavering gaze on Meg who surprisingly nodded in agreement.

"I know what you mean, it's like I walked into a fruit salad convention not a school." Derek smirked utterly amused by her choice of words but Megra was oblivious to it and continued to ramble, using her arms animatedly.

"Which is why I stick to my Head and Shoulders, not that I have a dandruff issue I just like the minty freshness plus it feels really nice when you stand under an air conditioner, oh have you ever shaved your head? My friend Bobby he once shaved his head and used Head and Shoulders apparently the after effects are the best, it was like his head was the top of Mount Everest."
