WARNINGS/DISCLAIMERS: I don’t own Life with Derek and I don’t make any type of profit off of this.

“Casey?” Lizzie called out, as I shut the front door.

I found her in the kitchen, all kinds of ingredients and baking ware laid out on the counter. She had a lost look on her face.

“Yeah, Liz…what’s up?”

She gave an exasperated sigh. “I promised to bring cupcakes for my class party tomorrow, but Mom’s too busy to help me, and I’m so lost. I don’t know the first thing about baking cupcakes!” She looked at me pleadingly. “Casey, please help me?”

I smiled at her, before wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “Of course I’ll help.”

Of course, I didn’t tell her that though I may be somewhat of a neat freak, that did not apply to when I was baking. Soon we had flour and cocoa powder covering us in a thin sheet. Cracked egg shells lay scattered across the counter, along with a trail of sugar from when we accidentally tipped the container over. Eventually though, we filled up twenty nine cupcake holders and stuck them in the oven.

As we waited for the cupcakes to finish baking, Lizzie went up to clean herself up, while I stayed to clean up the kitchen.

The front door opened and slammed shut, followed by footsteps that seemed to be going upstairs but then suddenly stopped. I didn’t think anything of it and finished up cleaning. When I was done, I placed two cans of icing on the counter. Just as I finished opening one, Derek swiped it out of my hands. He stuck a finger in it, and then licked it clean.

“Yum,” he said, as he stuck his finger in it again.

“Derek!”

He gave me an innocent look, and then eyed his finger. Before I could even consider what he might be thinking, he wiped his chocolate covered finger down my cheek. I gasped in shock.

“Derek!” I shrieked loudly, attempting to grab the icing away from him.

He smirked, which infuriated me more. So I gave up on grabbing the container away and just decided to get revenge. When I wiped my own chocolate covered fingers across the lower half of his face, his eyes widened and then narrowed. This meant war.

I quickly grabbed the other container of icing off the counter and opened it. But he was able to wipe more chocolate down my other cheek before I got the lid off. I grabbed a handful and smeared it across his shirt, which just so happened to be one of his favorites. I smirked at that.

He glared at me and scooped up a handful of chocolate as I ran to the dining table, looking for cover. I wasn’t fast enough though, and he got another hit, the chocolate landing on my head. The icing flew between us, as we chased each other around the kitchen, and soon we were out of icing. We eyed each other warily, before I lunged at him, laughing. He wrapped his arms around me to try to steady us, but the force of my lunge knocked us both to the ground

“Ow,” he groaned, as we landed with a thud, me on top of him, his arms still around me. I looked at him with a grin on my face. He glared at me. “This is all your fault!”

“Poor baby,” I said, wiping some of the chocolate off of my face and on to his.

Derek attempted to do the same, but as soon as he removed his arms from me, I scooted away from him. He sat up and leaned his back against the counter for support, reaching his hand towards me. But I caught it before it could coat me with more chocolate. His back must have been in some pain from the fall, because he winced as I pulled his arm toward me.

He looked at me curiously as I held his hand closer to my face, smiling at him like I had a secret. And then I licked one of his fingers, and his eyes almost popped out of its sockets.

I smirked, licking the finger clean. He closed his eyes and groaned.

“Casey…”

“Mm…Yum,” I said, and he pounced on me, forgetting the pain he was in. He pressed his lips against mine in a hot kiss that left me breathless. When he pulled back, I leaned forward, pulling him into another kiss.

I ran my tongue across his lower lip and tasted Derek and chocolate. A heady combination that made me lose all sense of rationality.

And that’s reason number six for why I love Derek so much. Because of the way Derek tastes in my favorite sweet—chocolate.
