Hey Everyone! At last I return! Heres my latest idea, and my other fanfic will be updated over my Spring Break! Hope you Enjoy!
The weather had seemed to really be clearing up lately in Quantico, Virginia. The gray skies had been replaced with sunshine and white puffy clouds. The snowstorms had been less frequent, and there was less frost to be scarped off car windshields in the morning. In fact, the temperature was supposed to reach a high of sixty-five today, and Derek Morgan couldn't be happier about that.
Growing up in Chicago, and dealing with major amounts of snow at a time had made him appreciate the summer months more than the cold, snowy months that never seemed to end.
During his lunch break he had decided to head up to the roof to enjoy the sunshine. April was a month that could fool you on this side of the country-one day it could get over sixty degrees and the next day it could be barely forty outside.
Penelope, seeing Derek getting on the elevator to go to the roof, decided to join him. One of her favorite things about warm weather was whenever Derek wasn't out on a case and they spent their lunch hour on the roof together.
She quickly rode the elevator up to the roof, finding Derek leaning against the railing, face turned towards the sun. She stood beside him.
"Nice today, isn't it Hot Stuff?" she asked.
He opened his eyes and smiled at her. "You bet Baby Girl. I'm so sick of snow."
"Me too," Pen said, crinkling up her nose. "Esther totally agrees too."
"Don't act like you won't miss me having to come and get you on the mornings you couldn't get Esther out of your driveway."
She sighed. "There's always a spoiler, isn't there?"
"You really need a new car Pen. How long have you had Esther anyway?"
"About six years," she answered. "I'm not sure how long the previous owner had her before."
Derek shook his head. "You should let me take you car shopping."
"It's not necessary Morgs," Pen said. "Esther has a few more years in her."
Derek sighed, and she leaned against him as they looked out over the FBI parking lot. His feelings for Pen had lately began to feel stronger, more deeper somehow. He had a feeling it was the fact Lynch was out of the picture and living across the country. Or maybe it was the change in the weather that made Derek realize how much he cared for his best friend.
He hadn't noticed Pen saying his name and looked at her. "Sorry," he said. "A lot on my mind."
"I was just saying we only have ten minutes left on our lunch break." Pen said.
They were silent for another minute or two as Derek thought more about his feelings for Pen. She was more than a friend to him, but everyone knew that. They had cute pet names for one another and flirted on the phone everyday. When he thought of her it was different that what he thought of Ashley or JJ.
"Penny for your thoughts," Pen said. "Unless you think your thoughts are worth a dollar. Which depending upon what is bothering you, would be up to me to decide."
Derek smiled at her. "Don't worry Baby Girl. You'll find out soon enough."
If only I could talk myself into asking her out.. Derek thought to himself.
Reviews, anyone?
