The Missing Piece Book One

11. The Walk Of Shame

*2 months later*

Derek moved in with Vanessa since she had been having nightmares of that horrific night, she took out a restraining order against Dr.Rodriguez and was jobless. She searched every day in hopes of finding something but Derek insisted he would take care of her, even though she liked the thought of it she couldn't stay home and do nothing every day. Derek got a job at a private company designing pages for many businesses but he feared what happened to his previous job would happen to this one. Derek was shutting down his computer when his boss Kevin entered his cubicle,
"Warren you're gonna have to stay late, got some files you need to go over for the farmers market job"
"No prob" he said forcing a smile, he glanced at the time it was 4:30 he supposed to meet Vanessa at the gym, the third time this week he stood her up for their 'Gym Date'. When Kevin left he sighed and slowly picked his phone, he contemplated the best way to go about this as he stared at their picture she had up, they went on a picnic ending with them having sex in the back seat of his car. He smiled at the memory but remembered why he had her chat open
Derek: Hey baby
Vanessa: Hii :) can't wait to see you later
Vanessa: Where are you?
Derek: I'm still at the office
He took a deep breathe as he started to type his next message when hers popped up first
Vanessa: Let me guess you have to stay late right?
He backspaced, sensing the vexation in her message and tried to win her over
Derek: It won't be long I'll meet you there late but I will come....Okay?
She took a few moments to respond which only keep him in suspense
Vanessa: Don't bother I'm not going
He decided not to push the topic any further and tried to finish up his work as soon as possible.

Vanessa rolled her eyes as she tossed her phone on the couch, the phone bounced off and plummeted to the floor, she would usually lunge to catch it but she honestly didn't care. The third day in a row he didn't show up to the gym and she understood his new job had him busy but she just missed having her Derek. Maybe I'm being unreasonable she stared at her phone on the floor "Ughh" her annoyance echoed in the room. She knew she overreacted but it was too late he probably didn't care anymore. She grabbed her keys and retrieved her phone from the floor, won't hurt if I still go she thought going to the gym was better than missing the third day. Vanessa thought about calling him as she pulled up to the traffic lights but she assumed he'd be busy since he was staying late. The sky dazzled with hues of orange and pink as she pulled into the parking lot, Vanessa decided leaving Derek was the best idea.

The gym was scanty for a Wednesday evening, people usually came Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and it was hard to get into a workout when the testosterone levels consumed the workout area, the show-offs put on their best 'Mating dance' to attract the ladies. Vanessa started the workout with her warm up on the treadmill, she wasn't into the artificial terrain she preferred going for a run but recently robberies were on the rise in her area. She ran as Sia blasted through her earphones, getting lost in the music, she really wished he was there. Her warm-up was only supposed to be 5 minutes but the slight sting she felt on her legs told her differently. She didn't even notice she was joined by 2 people on either side, a young lady in her early thirties blonde toned and tan, she gave Vanessa a little smile when she noticed her staring, and Derek.
Derek, she called to him mentally but he didn't acknowledge her, Derek was there for about 10 minutes, he came in and saw her running. Body and clothes sodden with sweat and a few stray strains of hair clung to her face, he joined her as he watched her body flex and relax with every step watching how her ass muscles contract as she ran, he loved her like this sweaty, even if he wasn't responsible for it. Finally, she was out of her running daze and he watched her out of his eye, and motioned to her to take out her earphones,
"Didn't expect to see you here" he panted with his voice dripping with sarcasm, he knew she'd be here
"Changed my mind" she replied, turning her attention to the machine bringing it to a slower pace, with him doing the same
"I'm sorry" they said both said causing them to laugh
"Friends?" he asked extending his hand,
"Friends?!, you're trying to anger me I see" she stopped her machine and hopped off making her way to the stretching area, he ran up behind her twirled her around making her lose her footing and she crashed into him,
"You know I could never just be "friends" with you" he whispered, Vanessa tried to act like he didn't affect her but she couldn't hide the reddening of her cheeks. Derek and Vanessa stretched together, occasional touching since they had that area to themselves, they filled the room with sexual tension and desire. She couldn't stop thinking about him pleasing her and making it up to him for earlier. Derek watched her face blank and lost, he frowned making his eyes seem darker,
"Let's go get cleaned up" she said wrinkling her nose "You stink" she said with a chuckle
"See you in a few then?"
"Sure, I'll meet you outside"
Vanessa strolled off into the dressing room pausing by the lockers to collect a clean set of clothes and her towel, she took in a deep breath she honestly couldn't stay mad at him for long, that smile just drove her crazy and his light brown eyes, she closed her eyes trying to clear her mind when she felt a muscular hand pull her towards his body, and kissed her cheek
"What the fuck are you doing here?, this is the ladies room" he shushed her trying to keep her from making his presence known,
"The gym is completely empty, just us"
"Anddddd?" she trailed off
"Maybe we could.." He finished wiggling his eyebrows
"You've got to be kidding me, can't you wai-"
Her words were cut short when he pulled her into a deep kiss, he nibbled on her bottom lip trying to persuade her with their tongues dancing around. Vanessa had never been into risk-taking when it came to anything sexual but Derek got her to do it at the beach in his car, and giving him a handjob at the movies and it was exhilarating, the fear of getting caught added to the pleasure.
"Fine, on one condition" she said pulling away from the kiss
"Anything" he said between kissing her neck,
"You cook tonight" she giggled, that wasn't what she really wanted him to do but it seemed better than arguing.
"Done" he picked her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist and they went to the showers kissing passionately bumping into objects as he navigated, they kissed hungrily and tugged at each other's sweat-soaked clothing. She tucked her hands under his shirt and peeled it off of him, he did the same with her sports bra.
He pulled her into his bulge, sending a sensation through her entire body with the epicenter being her stiffened love bud, she gasped as she dragged her nails on his scalp. Derek pulled away from their heated kiss to turn on the shower, she dismounts him to continue undressing, she was shaking with excitement she couldn't believe they were going to do this. Vanessa stepped into the shower leaving Derek on the other side of the shower curtain, she massaged the ache between her legs as the water beat down on her back. Derek entered the shower to find her drenched from head to toe, he pulled her into him with his erection resting on her lower back, she turned her to the side to give him access. He kissed her neck while he massaged her clit, and prodded at her opening, she grabbed his hand and pushed 2 of his fingers inside of her, causing her to gasp sharply
"We don't have time for teasing" she stated dryly
"There's always time for teasing" he hummed on her neck,
Vanessa was having second thoughts about this, she thought it would be quick but Derek was taking his time, he spun her around and pushed her against the cold tiles and stooped in front of her. He tossed her leg on his shoulder giving her kisses on her thigh, being drowned in her sexual arousal. Vanessa grabbed his hair and pulled him to where she needed him the most. He pouted slightly but did as she requested, he caressed her with his tongue with enough speed to satisfy her, she was quiet, he didn't like that, he nibbled on her vaginal lips lightly and sank two fingers into her hot wet vagina. Her orgasm was silent as it washed over her like a wave breaking on the beach. He devoured her juices dragging his tongue against her folds, as she ran her hand through his now soaked hair, he stood up with her leg still draped over his shoulder she re-positioned herself so she wouldn't fall, he took this opportunity to enter her inviting sex. Vanessa accepted him graciously as he made his way deep inside her, she chewed on her bottom lip to stop her moans from escaping. She's doing it again, he thought, he put his index fingers on her lips and she allowed him into her mouth, she moaned around his finger.
Derek pushed her against the wall, she moaned loudly as he hammered her from behind, her moans were music to his ears, she tried to contain herself but he only went faster. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment, she had no choice but to,
"Umm....Vanessa?" A meek voice from the other side of the curtain said, "Ar- are you okay?"
Derek stopped realizing they weren't alone, and where he was, Vanessa's face grew pale as she poked her head out of the shower to find Anna standing there, her cheeks as red as roses,
"Hi, I'm fine" she said trying to keep down a moan as Derek continued behind her
"I-I heard you scream I thought you fell and I came running to see if you were okay" Anna continued to blush when she figured out what Vanessa was doing since Derek didn't have the decency to stop slamming into her. The sounds of their wet bodies slapping together were so loud of course she knew.
"I'm fine thank you" she said with a smile as she swatted Derek out of Anna's sight
"I'll be locking up soon" Anna could see Vanessa fidgeting behind the curtain, she turned on her heels and left, herself now in a state of arousal.
"Are you trying to get caught?"
He didn't answer, he just continued pounding her until he brought her to another orgasm.
The pair got dressed after a quick shower, Derek left the locker room first followed by Vanessa,
"I'm soo sorry"
"It's ok, I should be the sorry one" Vanessa said to the still blushing teen
"I wasn't thinking" Anna said "I heard you scream and got worried"
"Aww that's sweet you care about me"
Anna's cheeks grew to a deeper red, "I gotta go" and Anna rushed off.
