Me and derek are in the living room, sat on the couch. "Open" he says. I open my mouth and he throws a piece of popcorn into it. "Yess!" He grins as I catch it. I giggle, cuddling into him. We're watching a movie.

I know exactly what he's doing. He's trying to make me eat by turning it into a game and by watching a movie, which is supposed to be distracting me. I don't mind. I think it's sweet.

I look up at him. He kisses my lips. "I love you" he says. "I-" I grin. He furrows his brows as we hear a knock at the door.

I get up. We're literally in our pyjamas because it's 10pm. Well, I'm in one of his shirts and he's in his pyjama bottoms.

I open the door. "James" I smile as I see him stood there. "Hi mer" he says. "You okay?" I hug him. "Yeah, sorry but I didn't know what else to do.. Cristina is in my car and she's really upset and she's had an argument with Owen and she wants you" he says. "Oh" I frown.

"I had to pick her up from Owens house because she called me crying" he says. "Okay, do you wanna wait with derek whilst I speak to her?" I let him in. "...sure" he says.

"Take a coat, baby" Derek hands me his coat. I wrap it around myself. It's long, so it covers me. I slip on my shoes before leaving. I take a security guard from the lobby with me. They stay with me always, to keep the paparazzi and fans away.

I open the car door and sit next to her. "Hey" I hug her tight. She hugs me back, crying quietly into my shoulder. "Its okay, tell me what happened" I whisper.

We walk into Derek's apartment. I take off Derek's coat. Cristina chuckles when she sees what I'm wearing. "Its comfy" I grin.

I go over and sit next to derek. He hugs me. "Is everything okay?" He whispers. I nod. He kisses my cheek.

"You didn't have to put a shirt on baby" I giggle, looking into his eyes. "I didn't want jack to feel intimidated" he says. Jack let's out a very sarcastic chuckle. "be nice" I try not to laugh.

"He's just kidding, jack" I look at him. "Uhuh" he says. "Derek you're so mean, go and get Cristina a drink" I giggle, pulling him off of the couch. He goes to the kitchen.

"..okay" I roll my eyes as he pulls his shirt off and tosses it at me. "Stop showing off" I throw it back at him. He grins. "Wow" Cristina mouths at me. I chuckle.

"You're a very attractive couple" she says. "A model and a gym freak" I grin. "I'm not a gym freak.. you're just lazy" Derek says.

"I don't need to go to the gym.. I just don't eat" I say. "You're coming to the gym with me tomorrow, okay?" He points at me. "I don't have a membership" I say. "I'll get you one" he says. I whine.

"I don't want to" I walk over to him. I wrap my arms around his neck. "Don't make me and we can have our own workout at home instead" I grin. "Gross" Cristina says. I giggle as he kisses me softly.

"Its hardly a workout for you if you're just laying there" Cristina says. "Hey!" I laugh, glaring at her. "She's literally the laziest person I've ever met" he looks at her. "I know" she chuckles.

"Stop being mean to me" I put my hand on his cheek. "Oh, I'm sorry" be says in a silly voice, kissing my cheek. I giggle.

"Gym tomorrow baby, I mean it" he pokes my nose gently. "You can't make me" I say.

"What if I said that if you go to the gym with me, we can have our own workout when we get home.. all evening" he whispers in my ear.

"You'll skip work?" I ask. He nods. "Yay! Yes, I'll go with you!" I hug his neck, jumping into his arms. "Good girl" he grins, spinning me around.

"Do you have gym clothes?" He puts me down. "Yes, I'll wear a sports bra and leggings" I say. "Okay, but it's cold" he says. "I can steal your hoodie" I say. "Can you?" He chuckles. I grin, nodding.

"What gym do you go to, jj?" I turn around to look at him. "The one in town" he says. "That's the one derek goes to! You should come!" I say enthusiastically.

"No" him and derek say in unison. "Please" I frown. "No" Derek says again. "Derek, shush" I nudge him. "Please jj?" I say. "..fine" he says. "Yay! Now I can hang out with both of you" I run over and hug him. "Mhm" him and derek hum.

"You can make sure derek doesn't make me do anything too hard.. like run" I say. "Okay" he chuckles.

"We should head home" he says. "Where are you staying, cris?" I ask. "At my moms.. he's dropping me off there" she says. "Okay" I say.

"No! Not yet" I grab Jack's arm before he can stand up. "I'm tired, mer" he sighs. "I don't want you to go yet" I say. "Tough" he chuckles, standing up. I frown. We say bye and they leave. Me and derek go to bed.
