Double bubble here comes trouble.
Or not as it turned out. George and Nora stared at Derek and Casey in silence for a few moments that felt to the teenagers close to a lifetime in length. Derek, as cat like as possible, padded over to the bed and sat beside Casey who took his hand shakily. He did so because she looked like she was going to cry again.
"Well, let's have it." Derek said, taking his and Casey's clasped hands onto his lap.
Still George stayed quiet. Nora, though, broke into a smile. "Always knew it would happen."
"Yeah, about time too." Edwin said while Lizzie and Marti cheered. They left.
"Dad? Say something." Derek prompted.
"I agree with my wife." But it sounded like he had difficulty saying it.
Casey and Derek smiled at each other. "So, are you saying you're okay with it?" Casey asked.
"Don't push it." George stormed off grumpily.
Nora watched him go and sniggered a little. "Don't mind him. He'll be fine once he's used to it. Have fun kids." With that she left, closing the door behind her.
"I can't believe they're okay with it."
"Dad's not, but that doesn't surprise me. Now, where were we before they interrupted?"
"Not while they're in the house." Casey pushed him away as he leant in for a kiss.
"No fair!" he protested, going in for another attempt.
"What we were about to do, would be great to do, but I can't be easy doing it while the kids are in the house."
"So what can we do when the kids are in the house?" Derek smiled.
Casey returned it. "Well we could start with a kiss." She grabbed his face unceremoniously and kissed him hard. "And we can go on dates and kiss, and kiss, and then kiss some more." She finished rather huskily.
Within seconds he was pinning her down on the bed and planting little light kisses on her face and neck.
