-Chapter 24-
[Dwayne Johnson In The Pic]

•Alex's POV•

I am freaking the fuck out!! I'm about to meet Derek's Dad! I may seem like I'm ok on the outside, but on the inside I'm shitting bricks!! Oh my jeebus what if his dad doesn't like me, I know Derek said that his dad likes people that joke around and all but still, what if he doesn't like me for his son? What if he's expecting someone better looking, I mean I'm cute but what if cute isn't enough? Ugh I don't know what to even think.

As we walk towards his front door I get more and more nervous, I just really hope his dad is a cool guy and does like me, Derek let's go of my hand and for a split second I think 'maybe he doesn't want to hold hands when we walk in?' but then I realize that he's actually going into his pocket to take out his keys.

"You know, you could've kept your keys in your hand, that way you wouldn't have let go of my hand." I said pretending to be upset, but really I was just teasing him, he leaned down to press his lips to mine and I instantly melted.

"You ready?" He asked as he put the key on the door knob to unlock the door, I smiled and nodded while on the inside I screamed 'No I'm not fucking ready!!' but I have to suck it up and be a brave boy......Hehehe Suck...I love having a dirty mind.

While I was in my own little world in my dirty little brain, I hadn't realized that we were inside until I heard Derek.

"Dad, I'm home!! Come say hi to Alex!" He said as he smiled down at me, I looked around as we walked towards what looked like a huge living room, everything was beautiful and looked really expensive, it seemed like we were in a celebrity's house. On the top of the fire place that was on the left side of the living room was a belt, and not just any belt. My eyes widened as I let go of Derek's hand. I went straight to the glass framed WWE Championship Belt that was on top of the fire place, I was almost in shock, I looked at the pictures that sat on top of the fire place. Pictures of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson one of my all time favorite wrestlers EVER! I jumped when I felt arms wrap around my waist and relaxed as Derek gave me a kiss on the cheek and chuckled.

"Do you have any idea how much I loved The Rock? He was my hero! Oh my Gummy bears he was like my everything!!" I said to Derek and his laugh was muffled because he dug his face on the side of my neck, I giggled because it tickled.

"So, I'm not your hero anymore? I would like to know why." A deeper voice said and I froze. Holy Fucking Gummy Bears I know that voice....... But that's impossible! I turned around and childhood memories came rushing back, if Derek wasn't holding me I think I would've fallen to the floor because my knees became weak, my heart was pounding hard in my chest and then me being me forgot how to breath for a few seconds, I coughed and tried to talk at the same time.

"You're .... I.... Fuck.... I Fucking love you." I said and then turned around in Derek's arms, they both laughed.

"Holy Cupcakes your dad is Dwayne Johnson! Why didn't you fucking tell me!" I said as I playfully slapped Derek on the arm and heard Dwayne The Rock Johnson Derek's dad laugh behind us, Derek was laughing too.

"Well as you can tell, no one really knows that I'm the son of 'The Rock' the media can be brutal and I don't want that much attention." He said kissing my cheek and I smiled.

"Aww you guys look adorable." Dwayne said.

"Dad please go put on a shirt, if you even own one, a decent one." Derek said looking at his dad, Dwayne laughed and shook his head.

"Why would I want to cover up a beautiful body like mine?" He said as he showed off his muscular body, I remember as a kid I used to have a huge crush on him.

"I mean he's got a point." I said and Derek huffed and rolled his eyes, pretending to be jealous and I laughed.

"So tell me about yourself Alex, I mean I know mostly everything about you because my son can't seem to shut up about you, but I want you to tell me anything there is to know about you." Dwayne said as he sat down on one of the red sofas in the room, there was a white coffee table and a love seat that was like a pearl white with a red pillow on it. I nodded and sat down beside him because well he motioned for me to sit beside him and also I don't mind at all, I mean he's my childhood hero!

"Son will you bring me a 'decent shirt'." He said to Derek doing the quotations with his fingers, he was making fun of Derek, Derek rolled his eyes.

"You just wanna be alone with Alex so you can embarrass me, don't you." Derek said and I laughed.

"I would never do such thing." Dwayne said pretending to be hurt, he even had his hand on his chest and a hurt expression, this made me laugh a bit more.

"Fine, but don't embarrass me or I'll embarrass you." Derek said as he disappeared through a hallway, all of sudden I was nervous again. 'I'm alone with my idol' I thought to myself and thankfully this time I didn't say it out loud.

"I wanna know about you, not to see if you're worthy of being with my son because I can already tell that you are, you make him happy and he smiles more often than before and I want to thank you for that." He said to me, and I was glad that I didn't have to be quizzed to see if I can be with his son. He looked genuinely glad that I made Derek happy and that made me very happy.

"He makes me really happy as well, and well I'm an outgoing person I love making people laugh, my friends and family are my everything, I hate seeing people sad and I'd do anything to make them smile, uhm I'm also very hyper at times it gets annoying to others but they get used to it." I said and we both chuckled and I sighed, he looked like he wanted to say something but was unsure if he should say anything or not.

"You can ask me anything, I'm ok with it." I said honestly, I wanting him to be comfortable with saying anything to me, after all he's Derek's dad, and I don't like it when people keep things from me.

"Straight forward I like that, it says a lot about you." He said sounding impressed, I tilted my head to the side I was confused, he laughed and took a deep breath.

"Means that even if what ever may come might hurt you, you're still ready for anything, you're brave, and you're very strong." He said, I'm the kind of person that even if we're having a serious conversation, I have to throw a joke in there somewhere, even if it gets me in trouble it's still worth it.

"Hah! Have you seen my puny arms, compared to your arms mine are twigs!" I said holding my arm up, I had forgotten that I was still a bit sore and winced a little, Dwayne got up and looked down at me.

"I'll get you something for the pain, I'll be right back." He said and as he left the living room, Derek walked in with a shirt in his hand.

"Where did my dad go?" He asked and sat down next to me.

"We were talking and I held my arm up a bit too high and the medicine is wearing off, so he went to get some." I said as I rested my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arms around my waist from behind.

"Here you go, this one might be a bit stronger than the ones you take, but they last longer." Derek's dad said as he handed me the pill and a glass of water, he sat at the same spot as before and smiled.

"As I was saying like what happened now, we were having a serious conversation and you decided to be funny. I don't mind that at all because I'm the same way, but I can see you're still in a bit of pain yet you don't let it bother you, you're still joking and laughing and making others laugh as well, that is being a strong person." He said and I smiled, Derek gave my a little squeeze and a kiss on the cheek.

"Even after what you've been through, you're still a very strong person." Derek said, and his dad seemed lost for a second and I didn't know if I should open up to him, I mean yeah he's my hero and Derek's dad, but I still don't know him long enough to tell him my past.

"I've had a really rough past..." I said not knowing what else to say, I bit my lip and he nodded understanding.

"It's fine, I completely understand if you don't want to talk about it right now, I hope that one day you'll trust me as a friend, because since you're dating my son I want to be involved in your life and get to know you better, and that did not just sound creepy at all." He said the last part jokingly and I laughed, that actually sounds like me. Derek's dad seems like a great person, and I do hope that one day I get to be close friends with him, because I never really had a father figure.

"What I wanted to ask earlier was, if you don't actually mind me asking, how long have you been epileptic? And if you don't want to talk about that it's ok, we can talk about it another day." He said as he put on the shirt that Derek threw at him since he didn't see it on the couch, I playfully smacked his arm letting him know that it was rude, they both just chuckled.

"No its ok, I had to learn to talk about it because it wasn't healthy to bottle it up inside." I said and turned to look at Derek, remembering when he saw my cuts earlier, Derek then had a look of realization.

"Is that why?...." He didn't finish his question, knowing that maybe I didn't want his dad to know about that yet.

"One of the reasons." I said nodding, I turned to look at his dad.

"I've been epileptic since I was about 10 years old, during that time I went through really bad depression, when I have a seizure I still do get depressed but not as much because I have 2 amazing best friends that stay with me until I'm laughing so hard I'm crying, and your son just makes me feel so much better with out even trying, even if I kind of don't remember him when I wake up from a seizure, it's still nice to wake up to such gorgeous green eyes. I think that if I hadn't met the two jerks I now call my best friends, I honestly wouldn't be here right now, and your son just makes my life so much better." I said as I looked into Derek's eyes, showing him that I was being completely honest, he leaned in for a kiss but I moved my face so that his lips touched my cheek instead of my lips, he groaned, his dad and I laughed.

"Your dad's here and I don't want to be disrespectful." I said with a smile.

"You don't want to be disrespectful here, but at your house you don't mind when your mom's there?" Derek said and I gasped.

"That's different!..... You know my mom longer! I just met your dad!" I said defensively, Derek's dad was just laughing, and Derek was smiling.

"Sassy little thing, cute." Dwayne said and I fought the blush creeping up my neck.

"Excuse me, I'm saying this as nice as possible-" I was saying.

"Oh no, you shouldn't have said that." Derek rudely cut me off.

"As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, I'm not small, little, short or tiny, I'm fun sized." I said and crossed my arms, I'm honestly not that small! They both awed making me blush.

"You're so fucking cute!" Derek said as he nuzzled my neck making me giggle.... Yes I fucking giggled in front of Dwayne Johnson!!

"Stooop!!" I whined and tried to push him off but he was to strong, so I decided to poke his side, maybe he's ticklish, he didn't react to that and I almost broke my finger by trying to poke his side, Jeebus! This kid's stomach is as hard as a rock. So that didn't work I looked over to his dad as he was laughing and pointed behind his ear, at first I didn't understand and then finally I barely touched Derek behind his ear and he jumped.

"No, nope, not there!" He said covering his ear, I smirked and his eyes widened.

"I give ok, I give, I won't make you giggle anymore!" He said and his dad was clutching his stomach as he laughed.

"I did not giggle!" I said pouting, and Derek kissed my cheek.

"What ever you say baby." I rolled my eyes and then I randomly yawned, what the hell it's not even that late.

"Ok, you guys should get some sleep, I'm just gonna shower then go to sleep, I have to wake up early tomorrow." Dwayne said standing up from the couch, Derek nodded and stood up as well and held his hand out for me to take, and I did.

"I don't want anything happening to you, so you're sleeping with him." Dwayne said looking at me and pointed at Derek, I'm not sure why but.... [Ok yeah I know why, I have a dirty mind].. I blushed and tried not to laugh, Derek nudged me and his dad laughed.

"Not like that! I meant literally sleep. You know I like you, you're really funny." He said chuckling and Derek seemed happy and relived.

"And you're a really cool dad, and I definitely still consider you my hero, I used to watch you all the time. My mom used to get so irritated of telling me to stop jumping off the couches and onto cushions on the floor, that I was gonna break an arm or a leg, until one day I actually did break an arm." I said chuckling remembering that day, my mom broke the broom to make splinters to keep my hands from moving, and wrapped a towel around my arm and the broken broom, she rushed me to the hospital and I had a cool cast on my arm. I drew a lot of things on it when I was bored. I was brought back to reality by Derek snapping his fingers in front of my face.

"You ok baby?" He asked and I smiled and nodded.

"I was just having a flashback of that day that I broke my arm." I said chuckling.

"Ok then we'll head upstairs, you have that interview tomorrow right?" Derek asked his dad and he shook his head.

"It's a meeting with my manager, something about a movie he wants me in." He said sounding exited.

"That's great dad!" Derek said happily, and I smiled and nodded.

"That's really cool." I said.

"Yeah, I don't know what movie yet but I'll let you guys know tomorrow, but for now go to sleep, you both look exhausted." He said and we said goodnight and started heading towards a hallway, and into a huge room.

"Your room is huge!" I said looking everywhere around the room.

"That's not the only huge thing that I have." Derek said and winked at me, I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"I know , I've seen your car already." I said acting as if I didn't know what he actually meant, he laughed and went out the door, I'm guessing he went to grab my bag. I sat down on the bed, it was really comfortable with a plushy blue and red bedding cover, the pillows were a dark red matching the cover, I looked around the room. The walls were a like an olive green color and the window curtain was white. He had a flat screen hanging on the wall in front of the bed and a dresser under the T.V. The dresser was a dark brown and the little knobs on the dresser were silver. The floor looked pretty, it was white and black marble with specks of gold all over, his closet was on the other side with two big doors covered with graffiti and stickers of different bands.

I laid down finally feeling the exhaustion, I guess I was so nervous of meeting Derek's dad that I didn't realize how tired I was. I was starting to doze off until I was startled as someone pulled on the waistband of my pants.

"It's ok baby it's just me, I thought you were asleep and I was going to change you." Derek said as he pulled off my pants, I yawned making him yawn.

"You scared me cause I was actually falling asleep." I said chuckling.

"You know I can change myself." I said pulling up my pajama pants and sitting up to take off my shirt.

"I know, I just wanted to help, do you want this shirt?" He asked holding up a white T-shirt, I shook my head.

"No I don't feel like sleeping with a shirt on." I said and crawled in the middle of the bed and watched as Derek took his clothes off leaving his boxers on.

"You're not gonna wear anything else?" I asked as he climbed on the bed with me, he shook his head.

"I get hot, this room gets hot in the middle of the night." He said pulling me up to his side and pushing down the covers.

"Well in that case..." I said as I took off the pajama pants I had on, and stayed in my boxers as well.

"This is gonna be a long night." Derek said chuckling as he played with my hair, I cuddled into his side and kissed his chest.

"Goodnight babe." I said and he kissed my head.

"Night baby." He said and turned off the light, and in a matter of seconds I was asleep feeling safe and happy.
