Penelope had just pulled up to club 'status' she was getting out of the taxi about to walk in to search for jj and Emily, they were already here but in true Penelope style she was running late. Fashionably late that is.
She sent a text to Jayj to meet her in the front of the club. She was pretty sure in the hour late that she was, that Emily had already met a man and was somewhere on the dance floor. Jayj has Will at home so she more or less comes out to hang with us girls and just enjoys the show. I spot Jayj walking towards me with the bug eyed expression "I'm not alone". Much to my dismay I notice Derek walking behind her. Oh well! He's here to ruin my fun well I am not going to let him! I am a grown woman I do not need my over protective brother figure scaring every man that comes my way running for the hills.
"I swear it's not just the liquor talking pen, but you my best friend look fucking hot!" Jayje exclaimed to pen while giving her a hug. "Why thank you jayj! Hot is most definitely the look I was going for lets get a dr-" Derek interrupted the conversation engulfing pen in a big hug. "Hot is one way to explain it baby girl, but daddy's having a little bit of trouble controlling himself. I'm seconds away from taking you out of here and having my way with you" Derek sighed. "I really don't like all these horny guys staring at my baby girl like she's some piece a mean"! "Derek baby, you need to put your over protector qualities locked up and put away for the night, for me please?" pen pleaded to Derek. "Why don't you just hang out with me tonight? We will have fun, we always do when we go out? Why cant spending time with your hot stuff be enough?" Derek was dying inside he couldn't handle seeing his baby girl dance and go home with a man that wasn't him.. He knew he couldn't blame anyone but himself he never had the balls to tell her the truth about his feelings for her. Now he was about to pay for being a coward.
"Derek you of all people I thought would understand! Obviously our friendship isn't enough when you have the need to go out dancing with all kinds of different women. Our friendship isn't enough for you when you take one of those women home to have sex with them you see Derek your no better then those 'horny guys' you were referring to. That's exactly you when you come walking in a club with the intention of finding a quick fuck for the night. I've never judged you for it or felt that our friendship should be enough because in reality its not DEREK! Its strictly platonic with us so how can you or I be satisfied with just the verbal part of a relationship? Not possible obviously.. So I'm going to the bar then later tonight I will go home with some 'horny guy' if you want come be my best friend so we can have a good time or stay over here with your double standards!" Penelope took a deep breath turned around and headed straight for the much needed alcohol.
"You know Derek, you need to tell her how you feel then maybe you two will get somewhere" Jayj stated to a stunned Derek. She followed his gaze over to the bar and sure enough pen already had quite the hottie talking to her! She just shook her head at Derek. She stopped feeling sorry for him long ago, Penelope's been single for quite some time he's had plenty of time to make a move but instead he'd rather keep his 'bau playboy' reputation. Jayj pulled him by his arm. "Lets go get a drink". he agreed and they headed for a nice strong drink.
Penelope was on her third long island ice tee. She was dancing with Emily and these two very handsome men. She had no idea how much Emily has had to drink but she didn't look like she was too intoxicated but I needed to see what her plan was for the night. "Emily come me with to the restroom for a sec" Emily nodded. They told both men they were headed to the bathroom. It was extremely crowded as they headed towards the back of the club. Entering the restroom Emily was first to speak, a little louder then necessary. "So Pen are you having fun? What do you think about the two guys we were dancing with right now?" Pen just busted out laughing, Emily didn't even realize she was screaming. "What's so funny?" still screaming Emily asked. " You are screaming and everyone is staring at us in here, but to answer your question he's pretty freaking sexy! How much have you had to drink em? I just finished my third long island" pen waited for an answer realizing Emily had been trying to calculate in her head. She had no clue! "My goodness agent Prentiss you are quite the bad girl tonight! Lets get back to the bar!" Pen was ready for some shots!
