Thankful For Us-Ch 2

When they pulled apart Derek said, "you look beautiful, I hope you don't have plans today", she shook her head and said, "no not now, I did earlier but everybody already came to visit me and then headed out". He intertwined their fingers and said, "are you hungry"?, she said, "starving, what smells so good"?, he said, "hmmmm, it's either meeeeeeee or this turkey dinner with the trimmings that I brought us".

She said, "ohhhhh hotstuff, you really didn't have to do that", he said, "of course I did, you're my girl and we need to be together, especially today", she said, "I'm touched that you want to spend time with me but", he put his finger over her lips and said, "hush now goddess, come and enjoy dinner with your hotstuff and then later I have a few surprises for you".

Penelope grinned and said, "just you being here is surprise enough for me", as they walked over to the table, he pulled out his chair and said, "allow me gorgeous" as he helped her up under the table. She then watched as he pulled bowl after bowl of food out of the bags in front of him and when he was finished he had turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, macaroni salad, potato salad, rolls and cranberry relish.

She said, "wowwwwww, you went all out didn't you"?, he said, "and you haven't even seen the desserts I brought", she licked her lips and said, "what did you bring momma for dessert"?, he said, "if you're a good girl then you can have this hunk of chocolate right here". She giggled and said, "ohhhh you are the only dessert I'll ever need".

Derek said, "good to hear buttttt I also brought pumpkin pie, double chocolate chip cheesecake, brownies, apple pie and of course mommas famous banana pudding" as he finished putting everything out on the table in front of them. He then poured them more wine and joined her at the table, he winked at her and said, "shall we eat this delicious food"?, she nodded her head and said, "we shall" as they started enjoying the food in front of them.

A long time later they got up from the table and headed over to the living room, Derek walked over to the CD player and put on some soft romantic music and said, "would you like to dance with me sweetness"?, she said, "I'd love to" as she slid her hand in his. He pulled her close and smiled as they started dancing their way across the room.

Holding her in his arms felt perfect, they had always been destined to be together and now that he had her in his arms he was going to make sure that's where she stayed. Penelope felt her heart racing as Derek started first humming and then singing to her as they danced, she grinned and said, "I didn't know you could sing hotstuff".

He dipped her and said, "ohhhh sweet lady their is a lot of things you didn't know I could do", he then pulled her up and said, "but hopefully tonight you will" before claiming her lips with his in a passionate kiss. His hands slid down to her butt where he pulled her even closer, he then whispered, "I love you", she pulled back and said, "I love you to sugar, so so much".

He caressed her cheek and said, "I want you goddess, ohhhhh how I want you", she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "show me, show me how much you want me hotstuff, make love to me Derek". He intertwined their fingers and led her across the room and through the beaded curtains, when they stepped into her bedroom he said, "you have no idea how long I've dreamed of this night, dreamed of making you mine".

She touched his handsome face and said, "that's where you'd be wrong my love, I've dreamed of it since the day you called me by the wrong name", he smiled and said, "best mistake I ever made" as he started kissing his way from her neck up toward her perky lips. Penelope threw her head back and moaned his name and said, "yes, yes it was" as they fell back on her bed.
