Security Detail-Ch 3.
Penelope said, "well what do you think"? as she twirled around so he could get a good view of the dress, he said, "you're beautiful", she stood there smiling and he said, "you look beautiful in that dress and out of it". She said, "out of it"?, Derek said, "not that I'd know what you look like out of that dress, what I meant was", she raised her hand and laughed and said, "I know what you mean and thank you for the compliment".
He stood there watching her butt sway as she was walking back into the dressing room to change into another dress, a couple of hours and about 6 dresses later Derek and Penelope were walking out of the dress shop. Derek looked at the driver and said, "home Damien", he nodded his head and said, "yes sir" as he opened the door so they could get in.
On the drive home Derek looked at Penelope and said, "we're going to have to come up with a cover story", she looked at him and said, "cover story"?, he said, "yes, I mean everybody is going to want to know why suddenly you're with me all the time". She smiled and said, "ahhhh and what coverstory would you like to tell them Derek"?, he wet his lips and said, "well we could say you're my girlfriend".
Penelope said, "girlfriend"?, as she patted her chin with her finger. Derek said, "uh yeah, I mean can you think of a better cover than that"?, Penelope said, "we could tell them the truth that I'm your bodyguard so to speak". Derek said, "well yeah we could butttttt saying your my girlfriend would be so much more fun don't you think"?, she thought for a minute and then said, "fineeeeee we're dating".
As the car pulled up in front of Dereks huge house he said, "honey we're home" and then laughed, Damien opened the door and first Derek and then Penelope slid out of the car and headed toward the front door. Damien grabbed the shopping bags and followed them inside, once he was through the front door he put the packages down on the floor and Derek said, "thanks Damien, that'll be all until about 7 and then we'll be heaidng out to the dinner at the Brazile Club", Damien nodded his head and said, "yes sir" before turning around and heading back out the front door.
When they stepped into the living room Penelope said, "wow Derek this place is beautiful", he said, "thank you", she looked around at all of the beautiful furniture and said, "you have great taste". Derek said, "I'm glad you like it", she walked over to the fireplace and said, "I loveeeee this fireplace", Derek said, "I have 3 fireplaces in this house.
Penelope turned to look at him and said, "3, wow", Derek said, "yes mam, their is one in the library on the second floor and one in our bedroom, my bedroom, I meant my bedroom". She walked over and ran her finger up his chest and said, "did you really"?, his mouth went dry and he said, "I I I" and she said, "just kidding Derek" as she walked across the room and looked out into the amazing back yard.
Derek walked up behind her and said, "their are a few things we need to talk about", she turned and said, "such as"?, he said, "nicknames for each other", she said, "nicknames for each other"?, he nodded his head and said, well we want to be convincing right"?, she said, "right". Derek said, "I have a few that I want to run by you", she nodded her head and said, "alright", he said, "baby girl"?, she said, "I like it", he said, "goddess"?, she said, "it's good, I'll take it" and Derek said, "and sweetness of course".
Penelope smiled and said, "I like them", Derek smiled and said, "good" as he walked over and sat down on the couch, she walked over and sat down beside him and said, "my turn" and a grin covered her face and he couldn't wait to see what names she'd picked out to call him.
