Chapter 6 - Getting to Know You

Derricks Pov

Few minutes later

Shit, You know that awkward moment when you very much like the freeging earth to open and swallow you up

Well Mrs earth if you can hear me can you hurry up and swallow me whole, How could I cry like that what's the fregging difference between me and Beyonce when she caught Jay Z cheating I feel like hiding under the bed, okay it's not like I'm trying to be manly here, but I really shouldn't have cried in front of her like that, I feel embarassed, but I try really hard not to show it

I cleared my throat in a bid to reduce the akwardness "I wasn't really crying" I begin my convincing speech which I'm obviously failing at "I just got something in my eyes" I clean my eyes for emphasis

"Hum" she replied softly looking at me

"You know the nature of my job, I get to sit in front of a screen all day, so I guess that's why my eyes are acting up"

"Whatever makes you sleep at night Mr witson" she replied amused

I wasn't crying I whined believe me seriously i said pleading

"You want to get ice cream" she asked Ignoring my outburst

"What" I asked

Let's go get ice cream, I'm craving for strewberry flavoured ice cream

"Are you high on crack?" I asked wondering what was going on in that cute little head of hers

Nah I just really want ice cream, come on she said standing up and dusting the invisible dirt from her jeans which really did a great job for her ass by the way,and how did I not notice that

"Are you staring at my butt, you pervert, eyes are up here" She said looking at me with her eyebrow raised

No I'm not I denied sheephisly immediately standing up and follow after her, we walked to my parking lot and she looked awestruck

Are this yours? she asked with are jaw dropped

Yup I replied pupping the p

Is that a Bugatti La Voiture Noire she asked running around oh my god, you have a Rolls Royce, wait a minute is that a Maybach, How rich are you she asked looking directly at me

"I try my best" I replied with a feeling of pride that she was actually impressed

"You modest son of a biscuit"" Well I'm driving hand me the keys" She said streaching out her hands

Am not sure you can handle that sweetheart i said waving the key, this car is pretty fast

Well why don't we find out she replied with a daring look

I throw the key which she caught with ease

And ladies and gentle men once again Miss Caroline Johnson did not hesitate to surprise me she drove like a pro, making me wonder what exactly was under all that layer of protection, she was so carefree, with the wind blowing at her face and her hair flying around and at that moment I swear she looked so breathtaking with that smile, and that I couldn't help but stare at the gorgeousness beside me

Are you falling for me Mr witson she asked with a teasing smile

"Maybe" I replied absentmindedly,

"What" she asked with her eyes wide

In your dreams I replied immediately upset at myself for acting like that, so I decided to change the topic "seem like you know so much about cars"

"Yes from my dad and my uncle" she replied looking tensed

They sound like great guys, what were they like I asked really curious

Well there were amazing people super overprotective by the way too bad that there are both gone she replied brushing it off like it wasn't a big deal

Shit I'm so insensitive "I'm sorry"

"It's fine" she replied and I knew she did not want to talk about it so I drop it

We are here she announced as she park very smoothly we got out and there was a long que, there is no way I'm standing here on this que

And it seem she read my thought because the next thing she said was "of course not you are derrick freeging witson so I'm going to use your name to cut through the line and get me some ice cream

"And are do you plan on doing that" I asked clearly amused at her crafty side

"Watch me" she whispered with a smirk as she cat walk towards the long que and she went straight for the ice cream stand, she whispered into the ladies ear and her eyes widen like saucers, and few minutes later we were sitting on the side walk with ice cream in our hands

You are one crazy lady you know that right

I asked taking a scoop of my caramel flavoured ice cream

Well being with you make me crazy she replied taking a scoop of her strawberry flavoured ice cream with so much joy on her face

You've got something on your mouth, I said pointing at the corner of her lips

Here she said wiping her mouth but wasn't getting it right, No here I said wiping the corner of her mouth, deciding to tease her a little I placed my finger in my mouth slowly looking directly into her eyes

What is wrong with you she said laughing out loud and I couldn't help but join her

We laughed together for sometime when I notice a couple kissing in public, I think PDA is one of the most disgusting thing to do in the world.

"I bet his cheating on her" I said pointing at the couple who were obviously faking their happiness so that the whole world wouldn't see how miserable they actually her

And she giggled "why do you sound so bitter, do you want to kiss someone in public too Mr witson" she said suddenly turning towards me with rapt attention

Nah I'm good and I can't afford for the public to know about my business, am not your regular folk, I'm pretty popular you know I said taking a scoop of her ice cream

You thief she said taking a spoonful of my ice cream and I laughed

You wanna know something relationship are not always bad my parent marriage was the most beautiful thing have ever seen in my entire life, they shared something so special that it was too cheesy to watch she said with a distant look and a sad laugh

Then why are you not in a relationship with anyone since it's such a special bond to share I asked

She looked speechless, it seem like my question had thrown her off balance "well not everyone deserve love" she replied softly

Why do you think so, well I feel everyone is worthy of redemption

Say the guy who is so anti- relationship

And I fake gasps you know my pain, don't you dare take advantage of it I said dramatically

And she giggled again and trust me when I say I could get use to hearing that sound all day

*******

We arrived at her house, after spending the whole day together, Thanks for driving me home even through I told you I could take the bus she said stepping out of my car

Caroline I said looking at her

What she replied

Thank you I said sincerely I don't feel like shit anymore and it all thanks to you

Huh don't mention she said waving me off

I got to ride in one of my dream cars and I got to know how it feel to cut the line and get ice cream before everybody trust me it was a win-win situation for both of us

And I laughed, see you around I said and drove off
