Disclaimer: I own nothing of Darkest Powers, because if I did, Derek and Chloe would have kissed that time in the bathroom…haha

Authors Note: Usually I write Twilight stuff, but I just have to write something for darkest powers because I have become completely obsessed.

Chloe POV

Derek was bothering me again. Unfortunately, this wasn't something I could yell at him for, like when he yelled at me or was irrationally angry. No, this was something different, something that he couldn't control and probably didn't even realize he was doing.

He was making me fall in love with him. What am I talking about, I'm not falling in love with Derek, I already am in love with him. So now I'm frustrated, I can't talk to Tori about it because, being Tori of course, she would have some stupid comment about me buying him a leash or for a romantic present giving him wet kibble instead of dry.

I can't talk to Simon either, that would be way too awkward. Especially awkward because he tried to kiss me a few days ago; I politely, well I thought I was polite, told him that I wasn't ready for a relationship and that I wasn't interested in him in that way. He looked shocked, and stared at me blankly for a little while after I said this. Thankfully, he calmed down and decided that I was serious. As far as I know, he's paying a lot more attention to one of the girls in the safe house.

Good for him, I know that if Derek rejected me like that I could never bounce back. It would hurt me forever, leaving a gaping hole in my already suffering heart.

That's exactly why I'm never going to tell him. He can't reject me if I never say anything about it, or act on the strong impulse to kiss him every time he looks my way with those deep green eyes.

I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't notice that I had a visitor. The only reason I looked up was that a shadow was blocking the sun from my eyes and I was grateful for this blockage.

Well, I was grateful until I realized that this was a 6 foot 3 blockage, with muscles that should be illegal on any 16 year old. Of course, because I have this wonderful kind of luck my shadow blocker was Derek. And he was staring down on me with an odd expression on his face.

A/N How was that? Not too bad for a first time on a darkest powers fic, and really it's only my second…so…be gentle! I enjoy all kinds of reviews, especially the ones that aren't from my imaginary friends!
