Desire-Ch 1
Penelope sighed as she stared out her window, she was deep in thought as the fight she had with Derek a few months ago filled her mind, she didn't even know what got it started and then it came to her ohhhhhhh yeah it was Jordan, Jordan Todd. Penelope raised her coffee cup up to her lips and took a sip and then walked over and sat down on her couch as the memory continued.
Flashback:
Peneelope was heading up the hall toward her hotstuffs office when she heard someone giggling from inside Dereks office, she stopped and listened and her heart sank when she heard Derek and some woman making out in his office. She heard a squeaky voice say, "why don't we head back to my place D and continue this"?,
she heard Derek take a deep breath and say, "that's going to have to wait, I've got to work but how about tonight we go out to dinner and dancing and then go back to your place for dessert".
Jordan wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "I'm liking the sound that dessert" as she slid her hand down to the crotch of his pants, Penelope heard his zipper going down and she raised her hand and knocked on his door. Jordan jumped off his lap and was sitting across from him when Derek said, "come in", she opened the door and he smiled and said, "hi baby girl".
She weakly smiled and said, "sorry to bother you but this just came in for you", he looked down and said, "has Hotch seen this"?, she nodded her head yes and said, "everybody's waiting for you in the round table room". Jordan looked up and said, "don't you have something to do"?, Derek said, "Jordan", Penelope said,
"it's alright Derek, I have a job, to bad you can't say that huh Jordan" before turning around and walking out of his office before the tears started to fall down her cheeks.
Derek ran after her and grabbed her by the arm and said, "that was uncalled for", she looked at him and said, "ohhhh yeah what I said was uncalled for when your what is she to you"?, Derek said, "not that it's any of your business but we're dating". Penelope said, "well your girlfriend isn't suppose to be here but don't worry I won't bother you anymore AGENT MORGAN".
Derek said, "are you, oh my god you are, you're jealous", Penelope laughed and said, "jealous of what, squeaky in there", she leaned forward and said, "you are my friend and I want you happy but not at my expense". Derek looked at her when she said, "I think it would be better if I stayed away from you it's obvious that you are more interested in getting laid then being my friend", she pulled away from him and walked away, end of flashback.
Penelope laid back against the couch arm and picked up the remote, the entire team was on stand down for the week and she was trying to relax, since their fight they hadn't talked other than for work and then it their interactions were few and far between. JJ and Emily had tried several times to get them to talk but their requests fell on deaf ears.
Derek and Jordan had now been dating for almost 6 months and they seemed to be pretty serious while she was talking to an amazing man she met while her and the girls were all out for a day of mani pedis. A smiled graced her lips when she thought of him, his name was Eric and he was a computer geek just like her and they had a lot in common right down to their love of the theatre.
Derek was sitting on his couch watching a game or trying to, all he could think of was Penelope, he missed her, he missed their time together, all of their movie nights, their talks, everything, he missed everything and wanted it back. He ran his hand over his head and wondered how things went so bad so fast, sure he should have told his best friend that he was seeing somebody but if he told people about her that would mean that he was serious about her and he wasn't, the only woman he wanted was Penelope.
He picked up his beer and downed half the bottle and said, "I miss you baby girl and I know just how to get you back", he lifted his bottle to his lips and as he was getting ready to take another sip there was a knock at his door. He placed the bottle down and walked across the room and opened the door, when the door opened he saw the smiling face of his biggest obstacle of getting his baby girl back and that was the one and only Jordan Todd.
She wrapped her arms around him and kissed his lips and said, "I've missed you handsome", he said, "come in Jordan, we need to talk", she said, "that doesn't sound good, is something wrong"?, Derek said, "Jordan listen you are a great girl", Jordan said, "waittttttttt just a minute, are you trying to break up with me"?, he said, "Jordan I".
Jordan said, "Derek Morgan are you breaking up with me"?, he took a deep breath and said, "like I was saying, you are a great girl but we aren't going anywhere with this relationship". She put her hand on his arm and said, "that isn't true, we love each other", he laughed and said, "my heart belongs to one woman and you ain't her".
Jordan slapped him across the face and said, "you are leaving me for her aren't you"?, he said, "being with you has cost me the most important woman in my life and I". She put her hands on her hips and said, "you are leaving me, leaving me for that, for that fat cow". Derek walked over to the door and opened it and said, "you have definitley out stayed your welcome".
She walked to the door and looked over her shoulder and said, "you will be sorry for what you've done", he laughed and said, "the only thing I'm sorry about is that I lost the love of my life but I will get her back". Jordan laughed and said, "don't count on it, rumor is your princess is dating someone new and has been for several weeks".
As she walked off his porch Derek swallowed hard and said, "I will get you back baby girl" as he grabbed his keys to head over to her place, it was time for them to talk and there was no better time than right now.
