A/N: first off thank you for stopping by! :) secondly this is my first fanfic! I'm currently writing a book and while writing I realized some of it would make great fanfic so I changed some things to fit pen and derek and decided to publish it. I may upload the regular non fanfic version some where else but I'm not sure yet. sorry this chapter is so short there will definitely be more! If you have time let me know what you think :) XOXO
also I do NOT own anything...at all... nada it all belongs to criminal minds and cbs!
Penelope looked at herself in the mirror one last time before she left. "day-um!" she exclaimed, very pleased with how she looked "Pen you look HAWT!" She was going to meet the team for drinks and dancing. She was wearing her white pumps, a form fitting skirt that was tighter then she would normally wear, (it gave her the butt of a Kardashian so she wore it whenever she wanted to look extra hot) and a hot pink lacey tank top. Her hair was big and curly and her lips were full and red. She wanted to look sexy tonight and she had achieved her goal. Penelope was done being "cute" or "sweet", for tonight at least. She was done being single. She and Kevin had been over for a little over six months, she was more than ready to move on but no one seemed interested. Not even one cute guy asked for her number or anything. Kevin had already moved on with an annoyingly perk brunette. She felt like the ugly duckling that couldn't get a date. But now she could feel the confidence dripping off of her, she was all woman and tonight everyone would know that. Nothing was going to bring her down; she was on top of the world! She had a revelation while getting ready. She was completely in love with her best friend, however Derek was never going to love her the way she loved him so she had two choices, she could tell him exactly how she felt and possibly lose the best friend she ever had or she could forget her feelings for him and find someone else that would love her the way she needed to be loved. She opted for the latter.
Realizing it would be very painful to toss aside all romantic ideas and fantasies she had involving Derek, she made a plan for tonight. She would get super sexy, go out with everyone and get slightly drunk, then she would have fun with pretty much anything that moved (nice clean fun that won't have her waking up wondering the name of the man sleeping in bed next to her), most importantly she would not hang over SSA Derek Morgan all night. Most times when they were out together she would sit there depressed at all the attention he gets from all the amazingly gorgeous women, while she gets close to none. Nope! Not tonight! She was going to be fun and free and not care what was going on with him. She grabbed her silver clutch and left, determined to have a good time.
She knew it was going to take her forever to get ready so she told everyone she would just meet them there. Also she wanted to make an entrance, the kind the sultry vixens make in the movies. The kind where everyone just stops and stares cause you look so drop dead gorgeous. She wanted just one perfect Cinderella arriving at the ball moment. Knowing she'd be pleasantly buzzed by the end of the night she hailed a cab, which was easier than normal. The ride was short and for the most part silent, except for the soft ticking of the meter and the one comment the driver made telling her how "freakin' bangin" she looked. After she got out she stood in front of the club for a minute, contemplating hailing another cab home. No Penelope you have to go in there. You are sick of being alone and if you want that to change you need to put yourself out there. It's never going to happen with Morgan, you just need to accept that and move on. Everything happens for a reason. She took a deep breath and went in.
She was immediately hit with a blast of heat and a slightly ripe smell from all the dancing couples. That mixed with the smell of alcohol made it smell rank! It was a smell she hoped she would get used to; otherwise this whole looking hot thing was going to be difficult while trying not to gag. She looked around for a familiar face among the gyrating crowd of people. She thought she saw Emily and JJ dancing but wasn't sure because of her quite dark surroundings. She looked around some more, nope there is no one staring Pen, this is not your Cinderella moment. What she didn't see was Derek, and half of the men in the club, all but drooling over her.
ok what'd you think? would anyone like more? let me know :)
