🌺Miley's POV🌺

This was strange, following Derrick like a lost puppy. On one hand, I was happy spending time with him. I was scared that Drake's drama will repeat itself and I was also anxious about where the hell he was taking me. We got to a beautiful house, it was massive and beautiful. Every hook and corner of that house was filled with paintings. They were beautiful
"Do you like them?" I heard Derrick ask as he took my coat off.
"Yeah, it's beautiful!" I said walking around, I noticed that most of the pictures were of a beautiful woman, some of the same woman with a child and what seems to be her husband but he's distant from them, that was a strange concept but they were really nice pictures.

"Here you go!" Derrick handed me a cup of coffee and I thankfully took it and drank a sip.
"So you collect them?" I asked still looking around.
"Nope! I paint them." he said with a huge grin on his face, he seemed satisfied as he sat down.
"Wow, really? That's nice!" I said going to sit with him.
"What is it, what do you want to ask?" So apparently he knew I had a question to ask him but i didnt still say anything.
"Miley, I've had a crush on you for two years now. I know you have a question on your mind.", he said facing me completely.
"The paintings, who is the woman?"
He smiled and got up but he didn't let go of my hand and walked to one of the pictures.
"She's beautiful right? She's my mum!" He said looking straight at me, Derrick was quite tall.
"Now let me show you what i wanted to.", he said and directed me to a room filled with paintings. They were like the one in the living room but this time it wasnt the woman it was...me?

I couldn't hide my surprise. What?! I looked around the room, he has paintings of me everywhere, with Esther and even when im sleeping, he even had with my mum. Wait...
"Where did you get this?"
He smiled and came closer.
"Remember the day you ran home? during the time Drake behaved stupidly? I kinda maybe followed you, he said running his fingers through his hair.
I'll admit I was shocked but for some funny reason I wasn't angry, all I could surprisingly think of was how he got my mum's best side.
"Why?" I saw a picture, I liked it the most, in it, i was smiling at Esther.
"Because you are all I think about, Miley." he came closer but I moved back.
"Why are you running away? Miley I really love you." At this point, my back was against the wall and before he could come any closer, I had to do something, I found a blank sheet and pointed.
"What is that for?" I asked walking towards the big empty drawing sheet.

"I'm using this and that for two important paintings." he said walking closer to me, this time he was too close. I tried moving forward but he held me, he smelt like chocolate...
"What are you afraid of Miley?" He whispered in my ear, my back was against his chest.
I found it hard to speak but i had to control myself.
"That you will be like your stepbrother!" I said still trying to get out of his grip but couldn't, instead he turned me around.
"Just give me a chance, I promise you wont regret it! Please!" I didn't get a cahnce to talk before Derrick pulled me in for a kiss and this time I didn't push him away. I couldn't. It felt too good, so I kissed back and I enjoyed every second.

"Thank you for giving me a chance." Derrick said while giving me a hug from behind.
"Don't get too comfortable Derrick." I took a sip of my coffee and looked out the large window, it was a very beautiful veiw from here. What are you doing Miley? I asked myself as i got too comfortable in his arms but what the heck? I was enjoying this.

"Hey! One more thing, I need a favour and I need you to say yes!" He said turning me around again.
"Well what is it?"
"First of all, promise you'll say yes!" It seemed like a silly idea to me but, oh well...
"Alright! Yes I will." I could see the joy in his eyes and it also dawned upon me that he had pretty green eyes.
"Would you do the honour of being my model?" He asked as he gave me a picture of the concept, the picture was of a lady who was naked with only a red cloth to cover her sensitive areas, funny enough I had seen her face, and couldn't help but ask. "I have a feeling I've seen this face before..."
"Yes, that's my mum." he said smiling at the picture.
"You seem to really love her a lot." I said looking into his eyes.
"You can't even imagine."
"Ok, I'll do it." I don't know what made me agree to it but I did and to be honest, I felt good when I saw the happiness on his face.

I was practically naked infront of Derrick and noticed he couldn't get his eyes off me.
"Uh, Hello? are you gonna paint or what?" I had to snap him out of his day dream.
"Anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?" I couldn't help but blush at Derrick's sweet words.
"Anyway, this is where you'll be sitting.", he directed me to a stool decorated with beautiful fresh flowers and kissed me on my forehead before walking away.
"Thanks for doing this, pumpkin!" Hold up...did he just call me pumpkin? Awww! Get it together Miley! I scolded my subconscious. I could also see that Derrick noticed it too and was smiling at me.
While he was painting we got to know each other more.
"Favourite disney movie? Mine is Cinderalla" I said.
"I like Shrek."
"Ok! Mountains or beach? Mountains for me."
"Mountains too."
"Ok, so we have something in common!"
"Favourite colour?" He asked.
"Black."
"That's weird for a girl, well mine is white and you know they both go together like fire and water." he said making funny faces that made me giggle.
"You know my favourite food, what's yours?" I asked.
"Well I'm not really a food type! I love my snacks and sweets especially, chocolate!"
"That's weird." I mistakenly said out loud. I twisted my lips to the side and looked at him apologetically.

"You know you're cute when you do that, right babe?"
Babe? This guy is gonna drive me crazy!
"I'm not angry, I get that alot especially from my mum." Derrick said smiling at me.
"Aww, she must be a good mum!" I said smiling back at him.
"Yeah, she was." his face suddenly turned sour, I could see the tears that he was trying to keep from escaping.
"Oh I'm sorry Derrick, I didn't mean to..."
"It's fine babe, you didn't do anything." I stood up and went to hug him and we both sat on the bed looking outside. I had lost track of time and saw that it was late.
"Please babe, stay with me..." Derrick sounded so vulnerable, like a baby as he rested his head on my chest which was now only covered with a red cloth.
"Ok. What happened to her?" I couldn't help but ask,
"She died when I was eight, my dad wasn't always a good guy, he messed with some people and they came for him but they met my mum instead." I would never imagine that a boy would be so emotional and show it to me, I mean, outside Derrick seems like a tough guy that's always feared by his orther guys in school but anyway i didn't like this part of him, it made me feel hurt.
I let him lay on the bed and wanted to get my clothes on when he grabbed my arm and pulled me to the bed.
"Please, stay like this babe." He said as he cuddled me tightly on the bed. It felt so warm and safe in his arms.
"I love you Miley.", he said as he was falling asleep but I didn't know what to say and slept off.
