CHAPTER FORTY THREE lay your hands on me. season four, episode eleven.
CASSIE WAS WALKING THROUGH THE WOODS WITH MARK BY HER SIDE, TRAILING A FEW FEET BEHIND DEREK. She avoided Mark's eye by locking her gaze on the mudddy ground, acutely aware of him staring at her. To say things had been a bit awkward between two lately, would be the understatement of the century.
There were many words unspoken, yet they were both to stubborn to admit how they so obviously felt. Nonetheless, they ignored the tension so that Derek wouldn't get suspicious.
"You gonna tell me where we're going?" Mark asked, walking in step with Cassie. It was almost comical, seeing as they were wearing identical leather jackets.
"Why does it always have to be about the destination?" Derek asked. "Why can't it be about the journey?"
"Because he's wearing three hundred dollar shoes, and god knows he won't stop complaining if they get ruined," Cassie answered, sparing a glance up to the man in question, who was already grinning down at her.
"Exactly."
Derek ignored them and changed the subject. "Meredith told me she doesn't want me seeing other people."
"She found out about you and Rose?"
"You and who?" Cassie frowned in confusion.
"You didn't hear?" Mark raised a brow. "Derek kissed a nurse."
Cassie turned to her brother angrily. "You kissed a nurse?! Why am I just now finding out?"
Derek rolled his eyes at Mark. "Thanks for that." He turned back to the brunette. "There was nothing to find out. It was just a kiss."
"Yeah, but you're not the kind of guy who makes out with nurses in scrub rooms," Mark said. "Not that there's anything wrong with that."
"There is, actually, when I can't tell Meredith. You know I hate keeping secrets," Cassie huffed. "You better tell her soon."
Derek ignored her once again. "What do you think?"
"It was more than just a kiss," Mark shrugged.
"The view," Derek clarified. They looked out over the hill, and saw an amazing view overlooking the city.
