Game On Alpha

The Way We Were

Derek's POV

This was gonna be good. I walked with Layla down to kick everyone out of the pack house. This sadly was my last huge planned attempt to get Kat back. "Everyone out of the pack house. Today is the day you return to your designated homes here in Oaklands." I said in my alpha tone everyone slowly filed out. "Okay I'll set up everything you go get ready, and make sure that the song is pure perfection." Layla said. I chuckled and walked up the stairs.

I walked into my room. I found a nice striped button up. Then I threw on some worn out jeans, along with some plain black converse.

I allowed my hair to be its natural messy bed head style. Not to brag but I looked nice. With that I looked over the lyrics one more time. This has to work. I then grabbed my guitar. "Layla! Are you done?" I yelled downstairs. "Yep! Later Romeo!" With that I heard the front door slam.

Romeo? Seriously. That girl cracks me up. I knocked on Katerina's door. "Babe are you mad still?" I asked. "No I'm not I'm just hungry and curious." She said calmly. "I'll be back in a sec to let you out. Grab the blindfold in the bathroom okay?" I heard her get up. "Okay."

Katerina's POV

Yeah I was a little mad, but then again I couldn't be, he was trying to impress me, win me back, and for some reason that calmed me down. I walked to the bathroom as he instructed, and sure enough there was a blindfold. I laughed and picked it up. I saw my door knob turn.

"You look nice." Said a smiling Derek. "Thanks so do you." Nice was understatement he looked down right perfect. Where as I was in sweatpants and a tshirt. "Well let's go!" Derek said holding out his arm to escort me. I took it smiling like an idiot. Luckily Derek had the same idiotic smile.

When I, well we, walked downstairs I was surprised. There was a stage set up, and infront a simple, single chair. "Please sit." Derek said gesturing to the chair.

Did he sing? What?! And play the guitar? I thought taking in the microphone, and guitar. He then jumped on the stage. "Katerina I really hope you like this. I can't stand being away from you. This song god took so long to right. I wanted it to be perfect. You have been my muse since day one. I have a couple other songs about you. Which is embarrassing to admit, but right now this is all you need to hear."

He gave a boyish smile before strumming the guitar.

I braced myself for the words. But no preparation could save me now.

We used to rule the world

Every kiss was an adventure

Every night with you was like a holiday

Yeah, we used to fly like two birds of a feather

Making promises we swore we'd never break

Why did we say goodbye?

I should've held on tight

Let's go back tonight

Yeah,

You rocked my world forever

I know you still remember

How we felt before

Yeah,

We should be together

'Cause nothing could be better

Than the way we were

Baby, let's go back to the way we were

We spend the day in bed

Not thinking 'bout the future

We were so in love we didn't even care

And I still can't forget the way you danced around my kitchen

With a box of wine in your underwear

Yeah,

You rocked my world forever

I know you still remember

How we felt before

Yeah,

We should be together

'Cause nothing could be better

Than the way we were

Baby, let's go back to the way we were

Let's turn back the clock

This time we'll take it slow

You can stay the night,

This time I won't let go

And when the morning comes,

We can start all over, over again

Why did we say goodbye?

Let's go back tonight

Yeah,

You rocked my world forever

I know you still remember

How we felt before

Yeah,

We should be together

'Cause nothing could be better

Than the way we were

Baby, let's go back to the way we were

Yeah,

You rocked my world forever

I know you still remember

How we felt before

Yeah,

We should be together

'Cause nothing could be better

Than the way we were

Baby, let's go back to the way we were

He finished and just looked at me. I was crying. Uncontrollably, but it was the good tears. I remember everything. He jumped off the stage, and walked over to me. His hands cupped my face. He seemed hesitant so I kissed him. This one was like the one he gave me before he walked away, but this time when his eyes opened only love was evident.

"I love you, you stupid egotistical bastard." I whispered. He smiled, a genuine smile, and said, "Trust me, I love you more." And I did trust him.
