Prue turned around quickly, "I'm free Mr. Malloy" she said and smiled at Derek.
"You said you had plans Miss Halliwell" Malloy said.
Idiot, she thought to herself; "My plans have changed" she said.
"Sounds perfect" Derek said and looked at Prue.
Prue turned back around, facing the set and smiled with satisfaction.
"So, ready to go?" Prue asked as she packed up her gear.
"Yeah" Derek said and turned to Malloy, who stood behind them, "I'll see you later".
Prue picked up her bag and walked out of the studio.
"Oh, here, let me" Derek said and quickly took the bag out of Prue's hands.
"Ah, thank you" she smiled.
"So Prue, are you seeing anyone?" Derek asked as they entered her car.
He hurried towards the driver's seat and opened the door for her.
She started the car and smiled.
"What?" he asked.
"Well, I haven't ran into this kind of shivery for a while now" Prue said and turned right at a crossroad.
"So, you didn't answer my question".
"No, I'm not seeing anyone. Not right now" Prue said.
"A woman like you? I'm surprised. Tell me, are you sure we haven't met before?"
"Uh, come on. I'm already in the car with you. How lame�" Prue said quietly.
"What?" he asked and looked at Prue.
"Oh, nothing�."
"I'm surprised someone like you works for George".
"Really? Why is that?" Prue wondered.
He's obviously flirting. But who am I to say no? Prue thought to herself while Derek spoke.
"Someone as inelegant and as you shouldn't be working for someone. Especially George".
"Any particular reason?"
"It's no secret that Georgy isn't the most open minded and relaxed person I know".
Prue laughed, "I have to agree. Although this is our little secret" she said and stopped the car.
"Why did you stop?" he asked and looked around.
"This is a really nice park and there's a beautiful restaurant there too, so we can have lunch" Prue said and got out of the car.
"Great" Derek said and followed her.
"I don't believe this. Let's just stop arguing about everything, ha?" Prue said.
"Fine. But still, that's not true!" Derek said loudly as Prue took a sip of her wine.
"Uh, so much for impressing a girl" Prue said and looked at the waiter as he served them the bill.
"Come on, I stand for my opinions" Derek said and took his wallet out of his jacket.
"You're still wrong" Prue said, "Hold on, I'll pay".
"We might me opposites in everything we talk about but I still won't let you pay" Derek said and took out a hundred dollar bill.
Prue smiled secretly.
She looked at Derek, and glanced at his watch.
"Oh my god!" she said and stood up.
"What? Don't tell me. Is it my watch? Too�.."
"No! dammit, I have to go" she said and grabbed her jacket; quickly heading towards the exit to the restaurant.
"What is it?" he asked, following Prue.
"I promised I'd pick my sister up" she said and started the engine.
Prue drove as fast as she could towards the address Phoebe gave her.
She stopped the car with a loud screech.
"Oh no" Prue whispered and hit her head against the head of the seat.
"Where is she?" Derek asked.
"Dammit! She is gonna be so pissed" Prue said and started the engine.
"Listen, why don't I just drop you off, where do you need to go?" Prue asked, but before Derek could respond, she continued "On second thought, come with me".
"All right�"
"Hey Phoebes" Piper said as she entered the living room.
"Hi" Phoebe said, taking her shoes off.
"How did the interview go?" she asked.
"Bad" Phoebe said and leaned backwards.
"Care to elaborate?" Piper asked and sat down beside her sister.
"Not really, except for the fact that Prue didn't pick me up. I waited outside like an idiot for an hour and a half and I think the psycho laughed at me while I was being interviewed".
Piper opened her mouth, but Phoebe continued, "Apparently, I'm still inexperienced enough. Yeah, they don't want a college student".
"Did they say that?" Piper asked.
Phoebe looked at her in a sarcastic look, "in those exact words".
"Ooh�"
"I think that might just be the proper expression for my situation" Phoebe said as they heard Prue's voice, "Phoebe?"
"Oh great" Phoebe said and stood up, heading out of the living room.
"Phoebe, wait!" Prue spotted her and hurried to her.
"What? Prue"
"I am so so sorry Phoebe. I don't know what happened I must have lost track of time" Prue said, trying to make a reasonable statement.
Phoebe glanced backwards at Derek, and said "I can see why. But that is totally not the point! Do you have any idea how embarrassing it was sitting there for an hour and a half!?"
"Phoebes, I'm really sorry!"
"Uha" Phoebe muttered and walked towards the staircase.
"A, wait. How was the inter�" Prue stopped as she saw Piper jumping up and down and waving with her hands.
"View�" she continued with hesitation.
"Uh!" Phoebe's voice sounded from upstairs.
"Oopsi" Prue said and turned to Piper.
"You can say that again" Piper said and walked away.
"Maybe I should leave" Derek said and looked at her.
"No, just wait here. Okay?" Prue said and walked towards the kitchen.
"What do you got there?" Derek asked and looked at Prue.
"A couple of beers" Prue said and tossed him a bottle.
"Maybe you should go talk to your sister first" Derek said; becoming speechless as Prue spit out the lid of the bottle.
"A� I a�" he mumbled.
"Lighten up" she said and walked towards him slowly.
"You know," she added, "You," She pocked him with her finger, "can sometimes remind me so much of you brother".
"Don't say that. I'm hardly as boring" he said and looked at her.
"Really? Care to give an example?"
"I'll be back" he said; pacing backwards, then turned and walked out of the door.
"I do not believe this" Prue said as the front door closed, "I never get stood up like that" she said angrily and walked away.
She walked upstairs and into her bedroom.
Wednesday, 14th of October
This day started out pretty badly, till I met Derek.
Well, at least we agree on one thing. We both seem not really fond of that idiot Malloy.
Ah, right� he's got the same last name though� a disadvantage.
I am so gonna stop with the list now!
He is so very sexy, that I have to admit to.
As they say. Opposites are attracted.
I am definitely going to get�.
Oh, I should talk to Phoebe. Gotta go.
