With A Little Help From My Son-Ch 3
Penelope smiled as she slipped into her sun dress, she decided to leave her hair down, she sighed happily as she slid her shoes onto her feet and headed through the beach house. Meanwhile up the road at the store Derek was watching as Hank picked out double chocolate brownies and put them in the buggy.
He said, "ohhhh those look delicious", he nodded his head and said, "I can hardly wait to sink my teeth into them dad". Just as they were getting in line Derek felt a hand on his shoulder, he looked around to see Jasmine standing there smiling at him.
Derek said, "oh hi", Jasmine said, "hi yourself handsome, whatcha doin"?, he said, "we're getting something for dinner", Jasmine then said, "ohhhh nice, very nice", Hank put the food onto the line and pulled the buggy on through as Derek stepped up.
Jasmine said, "soooo what's your plans for tonight"?, Hank quickly said, "we're having Penelope over to our house for dinner, aren't we dad"?, Derek grinned and said, "that we are buddy". Jasmine smiled and said, "Penelope, is she the woman from earlier"?, he nodded his head ands aid, "yeah she is".
Hank then said, "come on dadddddddd", Derek said, "well I've got to go, it's been good seeing you again", Hank rolled his eyes and said to hisself, "noooooooot". Jasmine said, "I was thinking that maybe you and me could do something tomorrow".
Derek said, "sorry but me and Hank are here for some father/son time", she said, "but you're having dinner with Penelope tonight". Derek opened his mouth but Hank beat him to it by saying, "she's a nice lady and we like her".
He looked his dad up in the eyes and said, "don't we dad"?, Derek laughed and said, "yes we do son" as he handed the cashier money for their groceries". Savannah said, "well maybe we'll run into each other again", Derek said, "maybe" as they headed out of the store.
Jasmine bit down on her bottom lip and said, "run all you want Derek but you will be in my bed and sooner rather than later". She grabbed a few things and put them in her buggy as she continued with her grocery shopping.
A few minutes later as Derek and his son walked into their vacation home Derek said, "you were a little rude back there weren't ya buddy"?, he shook his head and said, "nope, I don't like that woman dad, she's to pushy and besidesssssss we like Penelope".
Derek smiled and said, "yes, yes we do son", as he started working on food for dinner, Derek reached over and ruffled his sons hair and said, "we're going to have some fun, right buddy"?, Hank smiled and said, "yep, fun with Penelope".
Derek said, "you really like her don't you"?, the little boy said, "yepppppppp" as he wrapped the potatoes in foil and put them on the grill. As Derek watched his son he had to agree on one thing, Penelope was an amazing woman and he definitely wants to get to know her better, much better. Time passed by fast and Derek said, "Penelope should be here soon".
Hank smiled and said, "dad, are you, are you"?, he looked down at his son and said, "am I what buddy"?, Hank grinned and said, "are you nervous"?, he nodded his head and said, "for the first time in years I can honestly say yes". Hank laughed and said, 'something tells me she's as nervous as you are", Derek blew out a deep breath and said, "ya really think so"?, the little boy nodded his head and said, "uh huh".
Derek and Hank had just putting the food on the table when they heard a knock at the door, Derek smiled and said, "she's here, she's here", Hank laughed and said, "uhhh dad"?, Derek said, "yeah". Hank said, "are you gonna answer the door"?, Derek said, "yeah, yeah sure I am" as he walked across the room toward the door.
When he opened the door standing there with a huge smile on her face was Penelope, Derek said, "come in, come in", he stepped aside and watched as she walked by in. He closed the door and said, "Penelope, you look beautiful", Hank said, "you do Penelope, you look amazing", she grinned and said, "and might I say the two of you look nice yourself" causing them both to grin as they headed toward the patio and their dinner.
