What the Heart Desires – Ch 1

Derek Morgan stepped out of his car and pulled his jacket together as a rush of icy cold wind blew causing him to almost lose his breath, he shivered as he continued toward the front door of the restaurant he was meeting the team at upon entering the he took his coat off and as he turned around he bumped into someone or something. When he realized that he had bumped into someone he said "I am so sorry are you alright" the beautiful blonde said "I am fine" as she pushed her glasses up on her nose, he couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was, her beautiful eyes, her perfect body, he smiled as his mind began to wonder what it would be like to kiss her perfect lips, to her lusciously curvy body against his all night long after they collapsed from a night of passionate love making.

The woman held out her hand and said "the names" he said "Penelope" she looked at him and said "how did you know that" he replied "it's on your nametag beautiful" causing her to laugh as she lead him across the room, she grabbed the menus and turned to him and asked "are you dining alone?" he said "the names Derek and no I am waiting for some friends" Penelope said " how about a quiet booth in the back does that work for you Hot Stuff " he winked and said " it sure does Baby Girl" Penelope could feel the blush creeping up on her cheeks and she turned away and began walking towards the table so that he couldn't see her blushing, Derek couldn't help but watch as her butt sway back and forth, when they reached the table Penelope placed the menus down and said "can I get you anything while you wait Derek" as he took his seat.

Derek felt a sensual shiver as it travelled up his spine at the sound of his name off her lips as he said "can I get a scotch and coke please" Penelope smiled and said "sure thing Handsome I will be right back" before he could reply she turned and walked away as he watched her perfect ass sway from side to side he found himself quickly becoming aroused by this gorgeous blonde bombshell, Penelope returned to his table with his drink and said "here you go Handsome" Derek smiled as he reached out and took the drink from her their fingers grazing ever so lightly they both froze as they felt an electric charge travel between them Penelope pulled her hand away and said "sorry Hot Stuff" Derek looked up only to see she had begun to walk but still he said "you have nothing to be sorry for Gorgeous" Penelope turned around she winked at him and continued to see to the rest of her customers.

Derek sat at the table sipping his drink whilst waiting on his team to arrive, his eyes continuously followed Penelope around the restaurant he was finding it incredibly hard to take his eyes off her so much so that he had missed his team enter, another hostess showed the rest of the team to the table that Derek was sitting at when the team arrived at the table and took their seats Reid said "earth to Derek" Derek didn't hear him as he was still staring at Penelope Rossi who was sitting next to Derek followed Derek's line of sight and couldn't help but smile before saying Reid you won't get an answer outta him he is too busy staring at a woman, once Penelope had gotten all her tables caught up she looked over at Derek's table and noticed him staring at her she smiled at him and made her way over to his table.

When Penelope reached the table she smiled at Derek before saying "good evening my name is Penelope and I will be your Hostess for the night, can I get you something to drink while you look over the menus" everyone sat there looking at Derek as he had not taken his eyes off Penelope, Rossi then said "can I get a bottle of your best Chardonnay for the ladies, a scotch on the rocks, a beer and a soda for the kid" he then turned to Derek and said "what are you drinking Derek" but again Derek didn't hear him as he was to consumed in his thoughts of Penelope, Rossi laughed as he looked up at Penelope and said "it's nice to meet a woman that can render the Derek Morgan speechless, Derek will have whatever it was that he is drinking now" Penelope scribbled down the drink order on her order pad before turning and heading toward the bar.

The team sat talking as they waited for Penelope to return with their drinks JJ looked at Derek and realized that he had completely zoned out and was paying absolutely no attention to anything that was being said at the table she looked at Rossi who was sitting beside Derek and said "will you slap some sense into him and bring him back to the real world" that made everyone laugh, Rossi slapped Derek upside the head and Derek said "ouch what the hell was that for old man" Rossi said "well if you had been listening you would know what we were talking about but instead you have not taken your eyes off the beautiful Penelope, you hadn't even realized we had arrived"

Derek looked around the table and noticed that everyone was staring at him he couldn't help but smile as he said "sorry about that but I couldn't help, myself I accidently bumped into her when I arrived and we started talking and flirting up a storm and now I do believe that there is such a thing as love at first sight as my heart has been captured the blonde Goddess Penelope" Reid piped up and said "statistics say that about 64.22212% people fall in love at first sight" Penelope returned to the table carrying the tray of drinks she placed the tray on the edge of the table and began to hand them out, Derek was watching her when Rossi leaned in and whispered in his ear "Go ahead son ask her out" but Derek remained quiet just smiling up at Penelope.

Rossi nudged him and whispered again "go ahead son, go ahead" Derek finally found his words and said "Penelope w w would" but Penelope stopped him and said "Derekwouldyougooutwithmetomorrownight" Derek looked at her and said "Of course I will Sweetness, I was just about to ask you out tomorrow night" this caused everyone around the table to begin laughing, JJ turned to Penelope and said "when do you get off work tonight" Penelope looked at her a little confused and said "I don't get off until closing time, why do you ask" JJ sighed a little and replied "if you had gotten off work soon I was going to ask you to join us as I think we will be see a lot more of you in the future" Penelope blushed a little and said "what makes you think that you will be seeing more of me in the future" Rossi said "because my son here is 100% smitten with you that is why".

Derek then said "do you believe in love at first sight Baby Girl" Penelope looked at him and smiled before nodding her head and whispering "Yes Handsome I do" Derek said "what did you say Baby" Penelope said a little louder "Yes Handsome I do because I feel it when I look at you" Derek couldn't help but smile as Penelope returned back to work mode and said "so have you decided on your orders, if not I can give you a few more minutes and I will come back" Rossi looked around the table as he replied "I think we have our orders ready" Penelope took out her order pad and said "ok what can I get for you" Rossi said "I will have the Garlic Shrimp Fettucine" Derek said "I will have the Rump Steak and vegetables" JJ said "I will have the Vegetable Lasagne" Reid said "can you make that 2 Vegetable lasagnes please" Emily said "I will have the Pasta Carbonara" and last but not least Hotch said "I will get the Seafood Feast" Penelope took each order and said "ok I will get that to the kitchen" as she turned and walked away.
