Timebomb (Anouk,Derek)

[Anoushka bint Amir]

"Jesus Christ woman, why don't you just dive in between her legs while your at it? "

Anouk turned from Haylee and looked at Derek, her arms still wrapped around her, but her footing got confident. What was it about this girl that was so alluring? More so than Derek, than Pierre, than every other person she's ever met, except for a few.
"Derek, you're a Casanova. You love women, then leave them. I doubt you wanted us to last, so why are you jealous?"
She stopped for a moment, then continued,
"We are ladies, and you shall speak to us and respect us for what we are!" With that final word, she turned around quickly, grabbed Haylee's hand and began to drag the human off to Merlottes for drinks and fun.

[Derek Shelters]

"Derek, you're a Casanova. You love women, then leave them. I doubt you wanted us to last, so why are you jealous?"

Anouk had a point. Why was he jealous, and had he wanted him and Anouk to last? Maybe a part of him did, but he also didn't feel like having the responsibility of another girlfriend.

He wasn't ready, he didn't know when and if he ever would be. He watched Haylee and Anouk walk away but he made no effort to follow them. Such a thing, was almost beneath him.

At least, that was what he kept telling himself.
