Eat Your Heart Out-Ch 1
Penelope Garcia was working on getting her ingredients ready for class, she glanced down at her watch and said, "almost time Garcie, almost time for your first class". Her attention then went back to getting the ingredients out of the fridge and putting them on the table, she wanted to have everything ready so when her class started she would be ready to rock and roll.
As she looked around her classroom she couldn't help but smile as she thought, who would have known that a girl that went underground and taught herself code would not only be a chef but would be teaching her first class tonight". She blew out a deep breath and said, "focus girlie, focus, you need to get the eggs, flour and milk".
She then looked up to see her students start to fill up the seats, she sighed happily and said, "ohhhh they're here, they're here" as she turned around to see all of her seats filled, well all but one". Penelope put down the last of the ingredients and then turned around to see lots and lots of smiling, happy faces.
When the clock hit 6:00 she stepped forward and said, "hello class my name is Chef Penelope Garcia and welcome to cooking 101", she then walked over to shut the door. Just as the door was closing a dark skinned hand touched hers, she looked up to see the most handsome man she'd ever seen, she said, "can I help you"?, the man smiled and said, "yeah, sorry I'm late but we just got back from a case", he held out his hand and said, "nice to meet you I'm SSA Derek Morgan".
She said, "what does the SSA stand for"?, he said, "supervisory special agent", she stepped back and said, "please come in SSA Morgan", he took a deep breath as he stepped inside and headed over to the only open seat in the class. Penelope shut the door and said, "alright class, as I was saying, welcome to cooking 101, I'm going to give you the skills to cook for yourself or that special someone, well that is if you don't already cook for them and if that's the case I'll have you wowing them in no time".
Derek sat watching the blond bombshell as she whizzed around the makeshift kitchen, she was explaining everything in delicate details so that everybody could understand. He watched as she broke the eggs, making sure not go get any yellow in the bowl, he then watched as she bit down on her lip as she started stirring up the batter.
Penelope said, "now when you're whipping your batter make sure to get out all the lumps, well if that's at all possible", they then watched as she poured the batter into the pan and said, "and now you put it into the oven at 350 for 40 minutes and thennnnn". She reached into the other oven and pulled out a finished product and said, "you should have something like this".
The class was filled with ohhhhhs and awwwwws as they looked at how beautifully brown her dish looked, Penelope said, "alright now everybody come up and get a saucer and get some of this delicious concoction". Everybody stood up and made their way up to the front of the classroom and started getting their taste.
When they tasted it Penelope couldn't help but grin as she heard from several people, "this is delicious" and some. "ohhh I love this", Derek grinned as he took a bite. When it hit his tongue he said to himself, "ohhh this is good, no this is better then good, this is awesome", he looked at the teacher and said, "this is delicious, you're an amazing chef".
Penelope said, "why thank you", she looked at the class and said, "alright now for next week I want you all to be able to fix this", as she handed out a paper with a receipe on it. She said, "I'll have all of the ingredients here and next week we're going to break off into teams and prepare your first dish, the dreaded quiche".
As the class ended and everybody started to leave, Derek stayed after so he could talk to Penelope, she looked up and said, "is their something I can help you with agent"?, Derek said, "please call me Derek". Penelope said, "okay, Derek is their anything I can help you with"?, he said, "yes mam, with me out of town a lot on cases I was hoping that maybe you could help me".
Penelope said, "help you with what"?, he said, "would you tutor me in cooking"?, she smiled and said, "I don't know", he said, "please, I'll be the best student ever, I promise". She laughed and picked up a piece of paper and wrote her number and address down and said, "alright, call me tomorrow and I'll help you, show you the ropes so to speak".
Derek grinned and said, "thank you mam", as he walked toward the door Penelope said, "Derek"?, he turned around and said, "yes", she smiled and said, "please call me Penelope". Derek winked at her and said, "I'll see you tomorrow Penelope" and as she watched him walk out of the room she blew out a deep breath and said, "ohhhh what are you doing Garcie, what are you doing" and then she giggled and said, "ohhhhh eat your heart out Meredith Heath, aka her biggest nemesis" as she finished cleaning up the mess so she could go home for the night.
