I want to argue that I'm supposed to get the cocoa, but I'm too dazed and, as I come off my cloud, I can feel the embarrassment creeping in. So I only nod, swallowing tightly as I turn to go find us some chairs by the fire as instructed.

Luckily, there are two right next to each other and I pick the one farthest from the fire place, sitting primly as I go over what just happened. The first kiss makes sense, of course. I was stuck and he was nice enough to free me. The second... pity, maybe? I know Derek has no problem kissing his friends, that it just means he cares or... well, for some, I'm sure it means he's attracted to them.

I don't know what this means except that I'm pathetic and probably thinking way too much.

Pulling my phone out, considering tweeting. Except Derek follows me. I have no idea how often he actually checks his feed, but I know he's seen at least a few of my tweets so I'd better not.

Quickly shoving it back in my pocket, I force myself to take a breath and lift my head to smile casually when Derek comes back with our cocoa.
