AN: Thanks for the feedback!

Lying in bed that Saturday night, Derek found himself once again not able to go to sleep. Something about Garcia's tone she had today on the phone had him wired. He couldn't help but to think Lynch had something to do with it.

Ever since Garcia started dating the guy, Lynch always had a hateful attitude towards him. Derek could just simply walk in a room and you could feel the tension. Although Lynch wasn't number one on his hang out list, he really didn't have a problem with the guy, besides the fact that he had his girl. Maybe that's why Derek never really tried to get to know him or befriend him. Because Lynch had something he couldn't have, and it was something he wanted more than anything.

Every time Derek really thought of Penelope, he couldn't help but smile. She brought him joy no woman has ever brought into his life. (Besides his family of course.) She was his reason of living. She made everything more enjoyable. When she started working at the BAU five years ago, the whole atmosphere of the workplace changed. She brought happiness and sunshine into everyone's lives. She was like the momma of the team, always looking out for her babies. She and Derek hit it off from the beginning, and he knew from day one that no woman would ever be able to touch his soul like she did.

He had an idea. He got out of bed, got dressed, and was out the door before he could change his mind.


Penelope had stayed in bed all day eating junk food and watching TV. It felt good to finally relax and enjoy her day. These past couple of days have been giving her a headache. She needed this day to clear her thoughts. She was still really upset with Kevin. He tried calling her 15 times today, and she ignored all the calls. He even tried to call from unavailable…like she was stupid. Although she helped plan their dinner for their anniversary, she felt like their relationship has been over for quite some time. Ever since he started arguing with her over Derek, that's when she started realizing that he really wasn't the one for her.

She went out with him last night because she wanted and needed to know how she truly felt about him. She loves him, no doubt. If she didn't she wouldn't have let this continue four months after all the nagging started…would she? No, no. What if she's just scared of being single the rest of her life? Is that why she stayed? She couldn't wrap her mind around the concept.

Then there was Derek. Lord knows they've been best friends since she started working with the team. They had hit it off from the beginning. She loved flirting and realized he did too. She felt at ease with him, like she was meant to be with him. There's no way that he cares for her like she thinks she does for him. It's impossible. He's way too sexy to want someone like her. She couldn't explain it though. Every time Derek would call her a nickname, or every time he kissed her forehead, her heart skipped a beat. She shouldn't feel like this towards a best friend. NO. She needs to work things out with Kevin for the sake of her heart.

After she got done using the bathroom, she heard knocking on the door.

Walking towards the door she was saying; "Kevin, after all the ignored calls, I would think that you would understand that I'm not in the mood to-"

As she opened the door, she was surprised to see Derek standing there. He stood there looking down at her with a look in his eye she had never seen before.

"Baby girl, I'm glad to see you're still up, can I come in?

"Uhh..yea sure." As she was shutting the door behind him, he found his way to her couch. Turning towards him, she said; "So what brings you to my lair at this lovely hour sweet stuff."

"Sorry for just showing up princess. I told you I needed my Goddess fix today, so I figured that if we couldn't do what we had planned, I'd bring the party to you."

She went and sat down next to him. "How sweet. But I was serious when I said I wasn't up for anything today." She was being honest. But deep down, she was kinda glad he showed up. His smile always made her heart flutter. She was feeling nervous because of the thoughts she was having earlier. Now she knows there is no way he'd want her. She wasn't his type.

"Baby girl, I know when something isn't right. I could tell by your voice earlier, though you tried to throw me in for a loop. What's going on sweet heart?"

She hated profilers. They can always read you no matter how hard you tried. "Ohh okay. Last night Kevin and I went out for our two year anniversary. Everything was going really well. We had a nice dinner, and afterwards he had a horse drawn carriage waiting for us when we got done."

He chuckled. Raising an eyebrow he said; "A horse drawn carriage?"

She couldn't help but chuckle slightly. "For your information hot stuff, girls actually think that's romantic. But anyway, back to what I was saying. We went on a ride through DC and everything was going good until his dumb comment."

"What did he say?"

Getting all worked up again, she said; "We were talking about how busy I've been for the last week because of work, and I told him that we were getting of three days next week and that I'd be spending it with my lover. And you know what he said?! YOU KNOW WHAT HE ASKED ME? He said 'I hope you're talking about me instead of Morgan.' So we got into an argument on OUR ANNIVERSARY because he thinks I'm head over heels for you." With that said, she got up and walked towards the kitchen to go get her something to drink. "Hey Der-"

He came up behind her and put his hands around her. He started to touch her, tickle her, then started working his hands up towards her shoulders and started rubbing them. The fire she felt from his touch was unbelievably delicious. She turned around to meet his gaze, but she had no time to look because his lips were on hers before she could even blink an eye.
