"Alright," he smiled and kissed her cheek before he started putting noodles on the plates and putting ice in the cups, putting them all on the table.

Kat smiled and followed after Deryk with the spaghetti pot. She poured meat sauce onto the noodles, setting the pot in the middle of the table when she was done in case anyone wanted more. She grabbed the tea pot and filled the glasses, smiling when her mom and dad walked in.

Deryk smiled at her parents when they walked in. "Dinner is served," he smiled and blinked. "The garlic bread," he reminded Kat and got an oven mit, taking the bread out of the oven.

Kat gasped with a laugh. "Oh god, thank you Deryk..." She walked over and slid the bread onto a plate. She pressed her lips to his with a soft smile. "Thank you..."

He smiled and kissed her back softly. "You're welcome. Careful with that, though, it's hot," he told her, turning off the oven and walking to the table with her.

Kat nodded and set the plate down next to the spaghetti pot, chuckling. "Definitely hot. We got it just in time..." Her mom smiled but her dad eyed Deryk as he did all her other boyfriends. "Daddy, stop it. Deryk's very special to me, to all of us, so stop the mean dad act." "But-" Her mom perked up. "She's right. Deryk's been a member of this family since he was a toddler playing with Kat in the park." "fine. But I wanted to be intimidating..." "Intimidate me later." "MOM! Not at the table..." Kat blushed, shaking her head with a smile. "Unneccessary..."

Deryk blinked, pretending he didn't hear her mom just say that. "So, what all have I missed while I've been away," he asked, wanting to get caught up with current small-hometown events.

Kat shrugged. "Nothing much. The usual- school, winter snow, school, summer, summer carnival. Same thing every year. Oh yeah, our football team took state last year. Real big news. Like ESPN2 covered it which was cool I guess.." She smiled. "Nothing really big other than that has happened until you came back..."

"ESPN2 covered it," he asked, knowing he would have heard about it. He sighed. "I guess Dad was too preoccupied to tell me. Sorry I missed it, must have been working," he smiled sheepishly.

Kat nodded. "I can't blame you though. I have to say, your working has turned out to be a very good idea for the both of us..." She took a bite of her spaghetti after her parents had stopped giving each other looks across the table and sighed.

Deryk acted as if the mention of his father hadn't bothered him. Of course it hadn't really, but he still felt a bit jealous that he hadn't grown up with such a loving family like Kat had. But he was happy for her, he wanted her to be happy. That's all that mattered.

Kat smiled. "Well, things are better now so all-in-all, the past is the past. Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans..." She smiled, winking at him over her glass.

He smiled and nodded, chuckling. "Isn't that in a song," he asked, returning the wink when he knew her parents weren't looking.

Kat smiled. "Maybe, I'm not quite sure. I think so though. All I know is that it's a quote. I think Ghandi said it..."

[From Faith Hill (forgot what song::
"Life is what happens while you're makin' plans
All that you need is right here in your hands"
Those are the last two lines of the song XD]

He shrugged. He never did really pay any close attention in class, so he wouldn't know. The only thing he made sure to do was get good grades on his tests and finish all the notes.

(Oh yeah! *palm-face* Duuuuh)

Kat smiled. "So," her mom said. "What's your dad been doing since you've been with him?"

(Lol! It's alright X3)

"Same old, same old," he smiled, like it didn't really matter. Well, it didn't now. "I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't noticed I'm gone yet," he said casually, without sarcasm.

Kat sighed, smiling at him softly. She knew it had to be difficult, at least a tad, for Deryk to talk about his dad. "Well, you're welcome here whenever you want Deryk. Kat has obviously made sure to welcome you back well."

Deryk smiled. "Thank you, really," he told them. He did feel welcome in Kat's home, like he was truly part of the family. This was part of the reason why he played with Kat so often when they were little, because he never got this feeling at home.

Kat smiled. "Well, you know it wouldn't be a problem Deryk. We've always enjoyed having you here." Kat smiled, realizing that dinner was finished. Her dad had had another helping already. Her mom and herself had finished already as well.

Deryk smiled. "I've always enjoyed being here," he told them truthfully. He stood, smiling at Kate at her mom. "Can I take your plates?"

Kat blushed and smiled, her mom chuckling. "Why yes, thank you..." Kat stood, picking up the spaghetti pot and bread plate. "Thank you Deryk..."

He smiled. "Not a problem," he took their plates to the sink and turned on the water to wash them.

Kat smiled at her mom and dad, who stood, cleaned off the table, then disappeared back upstairs to do lord-knows-what.

After he was done washing all the dishes, Deryk smiled and kissed Kat lovingly. "Dinner was delicious, love," he murmured against her lips.
