Penelope was just starting her babies up for the day, she was a bit unnerved she has the weird feeling someone has been following her she'd been feeling it for weeks, like someone was watching her and it gave her the creeps she hasn't told the team about it cause she wasn't sure and she didn't want to upset them for nothing. Deciding to forget about it she sat down and thought about what happened last night.
She and Derek were watching a movie together like they do most nights, he is her best friend and she loves him, she's loved from the first day she met him. She knows that he loves her, but it's a love you have for your best friend, and she's come to terms with it for she would rather have him in her life as her best friend than not in her life at all.
Then last night all the rules had been changed in one second, one minute they were talking and laughing then the next minute she was kissing Derek and she felt like the earth had shifted.
(Flashback)
Penelope was watching the movie, that is when she wasn't watching Derek she couldn't help herself the way his brown eyes sparkled when he laughed and he's sexy smile was enough to send any girl into a swoon.
"What? Derek asked.
"Nothing" Penelope replied.
"You're staring at me" Derek said.
"Well hot stuff, what can I say your one hunk of a man" Penelope answered.
"Oh my god you're blushing" Penelope shrieked.
"I am not" shot back Derek.
Penelope dissolved into fits of giggles, Derek reached over and started tickling her which made her laugh even more, then as fast as her giggles started they stopped Derek's face was just inches from hers she couldn't help herself she'd wanted to for six years and she thought one taste would be enough, Oh how wrong she was. She leaned in and kissed him.
"Oh my god Derek, I'm sorry I don't know why I did that, god I'm sorry" Penelope whispered.
She jumped off the sofa and tried to make a run for it to the safety of the bathroom, but he caught her before she could reach it.
"I'm sorry Derek, I don't know what came over me, I didn't mean to do it and it will never happen again I swear" Penelope said almost in tears.
"Oh yes, it will most certainly happen again" Derek said with a smile.
"What? Penelope stammered.
Derek took her face in his hands and brought his lips to hers and gently kissed her, well it started off gently but the kiss soon turned hungry and his tongue played the dance of love with hers. Once the kiss was over Derek laid his forehead against hers and looked into her eyes.
"I've waited six years to do that and I find that I like it very much and we will be doing it again" Derek told a very stunned Penelope.
"You have? Penelope stammered again.
"Baby girl, from the day I met you I have been in love with you, I never said anything because I didn't want to spoil our friendship, and then you started dating Lynch, and I have never been so jealous before in my life. It took everything in me not to punch his lights out for even thinking about touching you. The week before you started dating him I was going to tell you how I felt, then we got that big case and when I got back you were with Lynch so I kept it to myself" Derek finished by kissing her again.
"I love you too Derek, I have for the longest time, I never thought you'd love someone like me so I kept it to myself" Penelope told him.
(End Flashback)
She was so amazed that he loved her too, But she couldn't be happier that he does. She never thought she could be this happy, Now if she could just get rid of this feeling that someone was following her. She would be even happier.
