Savannah looked at her boyfriend and said, "I have to get away for a little while", he walked over and said, "we need to talk about this", she shook her head and said, "no, no we don't". Derek put his hands on her shoulders and said, "I don't understand Savannah, talk to me tell me what's wrong"?, she took a deep breath and slid the engagement ring off of her finger and put it in his hand and said, "I don't know if I can spend the rest of my life with you".
Derek said, "y you don't mean that", she said, "yes, yes I do", he said, "but I lo" and she said, "don't say it Derek, just don't", he said, "what do you want me to do"?, she said, "don't try to find me, just give me some time". He said, "give you, give you some time, are you serious"?, she said, "more serious than you will ever know".
Derek threw up his hands and said, "we're in a relationship Savannah", she laughed and said, "ohhhhhh is that what we're in because it seems to me like your team and your precious baby girl get more of you than I do". He said, "are you jealous of Penelope"?, she laughed and said, "should I be"?, he opened his mouth to say something and she said, "oh my God".
He looked down and she said, "you're in love with her aren't you"?, he said, "she's my best friend, my God given solace", Savannah said, "I thought that was suppose to be me Derek". He said, "we need to slow down and talk about this Savannah", she grabbed her bag and said, "ohhhhhhh no we don't, you've made it clear where you stand Derek".
As she walked by him he grabbed her arm and whirled her around and said, "don't do this Savannah don't leave like this", she got right up in his face and said, "or what"?, when he said nothing she smiled and said, "that's what I thought" and turned around and walked out of the bedroom she had shared with Derek. He ran his hand over his head as he ran down the stairs and watched as her car pulled away from the curb.
Derek had tried to call her several times but the calls went straight to voicemail, he took a deep breath and grabbed his keys and headed toward his truck, he put the keys in the ignition and pulled away from the house. A few minutes later he was walking into the bar that the team frequented, he walked over to the bar and sat down and the bartender walked over and said, "the usual"?, he said, "get me something strong and keep em coming".
The man could tell that Derek had been through the roughs so she poured him a drink and as he was getting ready to take the bottle away when Derek said, "just leave it Tony". Tony left the bottle and walked to the other end of the bar for another customer, through the night he kept his eye on Derek and when he could tell that he'd had to much to drink he picked up the phone and dialed someone that he knew would make sure that Derek got home safely.
Derek looked up when a beautiful redhead ran her hand up and down his thigh and said, "how about you and I dance"?, he shook his head and said, "no thank you", she said, "did you just turn me down"?, he downed the rest of his drink and said, "yeppppppp". He then filled his glass again and put it to his lips, the woman said,
"well I never".
Derek laughed and said, "and you're not gonna tonight, at least not with meeeee" as he downed another drink of the dark liquid that had over the past few hours became his best friend. The woman huffed as she ran off, Derek shook his head and said, "women", it wasn't long before he smiled when he heard the soft voice of the woman that totally owned his heart.
Penelope said, "hey sug how about you let me take you home"?, he looked up and winked at her and said, "are you gonna show me a good night"?, she said, "you my love have definitley had enough". She stood up and said, "come on handsome let's go back to your place", he stood up and reached into his wallet and handed Tony some money and said, "thanks Tony".
As they headed away from the bar Penelope whispered, "thanks Tony", he winked and said, "anytime Penelope just take care of him, she nodded her head and said, "count on it". A few minutes later they were walking and half stumbling into his house, she closed and locked the door and said, "come on angel fish let's get you upstairs and tucked into bed".
Derek said, "alright baby girl, if you wanted me in bed all you had to do was ask", when they walked into his room she said, "alright let's get these clothes off of ya". He said, "alrightttttttt" as he started dancing in front of the bed, she laughed and said, "here Derek let me help you", she tugged his shirt off and said,
"are you alright to sleep in your pants"?, he said, "nopeeeeeee" and pulled his pants and boxers down over his hips.
She blew out a deep breath and whispered, "I was so right when I called you a chocolate God", he said, "you sure were goddess", she said, "you weren't meant to hear that handsome". He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close and said, "I love you Penelope", she said, "I love you to Derek but let's get you in bed and tomorrow when you're sober we'll talk about it".
Derek said, "no princess I love you, like love you love you, am head over heels in love with you and that's why Savannah left me", Penelope said, "Derek that's the booze talking". He said, "no it's not and I'll prove it to ya" and seconds later she felt his lips on hers, that was the one thing she had dreamed about since he first called her by the wrong name all those years ago.
She pulled away and said, "Derek we can't do this", he said, "but we can" and crashed his lips to hers again as they fell on the bed
