He saved me, now he loves me.

Chapter 22: Second move

Chapter 22: Second move

If I said I wasn't nervous about meeting my father tomorrow that would be a complete lie. Even with Cayc laying in my arms right now, safe, I still worry. If he doesn't have a plan I don't know what will happen. I'd do anything to protect this girl, I'm in love with her.

Ha, I'm in love with her.

I never thought I'd love someone as much as I loved Tiffany again but then I came across Caycee and here I am, admitting to myself that I'm in love with her. If Derrick wasn't around we'd be so much more happier than we are now. No worries, no stress, no fear, no nothing. 

"Craig?"

"Hmm?"

"What's wrong?" She asks quietly, looking up at me with her big brown eyes expectantly.

"Nothing, I'm fine" I say looking down at her. I kiss her forehead and look back up at the celing.

"We both know that's a lie" She says shifting slightly so that she is partly laying on me. "You can tell me you know."

Looking back down at her I smile taking a strand of her hair playing with it. "I know I can, I just, I don't know, I don't want you to freak out okay?"

"Okay, I won't now tell me" She says. I sigh, dropping the strand of hair I was playing with so I could sit up properly. 

"I rang my dad today" I say cautiously. 

"Oh, how come? Is everything alright?"

"No, no it's not Cayc and we both know it, that's why I rang him, he can help us." 

"What do you mean help us? Help us with what?" She says sitting up pulling the covers closer to her chest.

"Derrick, he agreed to help us with Derrick"

"What?!" She says shouting.

"Just let me explain Cayc"

"No, why would you want to get more people involved?!"

"Because I just want this mess to be over and done with!" I pause for a minute. "Don't you?"

"You know I do Craig, I just, you haven't spoken to him in years and plus he doesn't even know me or what Derrick's like, if he or anyone for that matter gets hurt I won't be able to ever forgive myself." She says looking down at her hands. I take her back in my arms, pulling her onto my lap and kiss her.

"Noones going to get hurt, I promise. My dad agreed to help us and I have to meet him tomorrow morning at 11 so we can talk about it."

"That was a quick arrangement"

"I know" I say laughing nervously

"You nervous about seeing him?"

"Yeah I am to be honest, I just hope everything turns out okay"

"Me too" She mumbles

"You don't have to, but would you be willing to come with me tomorrow, to meet him?"

"If you want me to"

"Yeah I do, now get some sleep" I kiss forehead and pull the covers over us, pulling her closer to my chest.

"okay" yawning and soon I drift off as well.

;-*

Caycee

I think I'm just as nervous as Craig meeting his dad today. I feel guitly about the amount of people that's involved in this mess. I've contiplated about running away, just leaving, but I can't. I wouldn't be able to do that to Craig again, I care about him too much, I think I'd go as far as saying I'm in love with him but I just don't know if he feels that strongly about me. Not letting my thoughts take over I shower quickly and put on a dark blue pair of skinny jeans with my turqoiuse woolley jumper alongside with my white converse and go downstairs. As I walk into the kitchen I can't help but hear Marcus on the phone.

"I don't know what you want me to do?!"

"They're inseperable"

"I don't know, I guess I'll just have to take Craig away somewhere"

"Alright, okay!"

"No"

"Okay Derrick I promise not to let you down."

 I didn't wait to hear the rest and ran straight to Craig.

"Craig" I whisper yell.

"What's wrong? Why are you whispering?" He asks looking confused.

"Marcus" I say panicking

"What about him? he asks.

"He's working with Derrick?"

"What?" he pauses "What makes you say that? he asks.

"I just heard him on the phone, he was talking to him sayign about how inserperable we are and how he's gonna take you away from me so that Derrick can get closer and then Marcus was talking about not letting Derrick down" I say tears pouring out. Craig pulls me into his arms.

"Sshh, Cayc calm down. Look let's go and meet my dad and we'll talk about it on the way there okay?" He says wiping my tears away and I nod.

I grab my bag and head for the door where Craig is waiting.

"Where you guys going?" Marcus ask coming out of the living room.

"Ou-" I go to speech but I get off by Craig.

"Nowhere" he says in a cold voice. Craig then takes my hand and pulls me outside.

"Well you're obviously going somewhere" he says raising his eyebrows

"Nowhere that concerns you" Craig shouts over his shoulder. We walk down the pathway and get into his car. 

"What are we going to do Craig? What if Derrick's closer than we think?" I say panicking.

"I don't know Cayce, I really don't, I just hope that my dad has a plan."
