Being Haunted Morgan Style-Ch 3

Derek smiled as he saw the famaliar face of one of his good friends, she sat down beside him and said, "how have you been"?, he sat up on the side of the bed and said, "not bad, girl where have you been we have all missed you". She smiled and said, "I'm doing alright, I am finally in a good place", she playfully slapped his shoulder and said, "ok Morgan time to rise and shine".

Derek stood up and said, "my dad told me that you would be taking me on a trip to two different places tonight"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes, he was right and we need to hurry because you still have one more visitor to come a little later". Derek smiled as Elle nodded for him to follow her, he laughed as he once again walked through the wall.

A few minutes later they were standing in the middle of Penelopes apartment, she was just getting in from the party, he smiled and said, "she is so beautiful tonight don't you think"?, Elle laughed and said, "good grief man when are you gonna pull your head out of your ass and go after the girl"?, he smiled and said, "in case you didn't know she is dating someone else right now".

Elle chuckled and said, "you can't be talking about Calvin", Derek laughed and said, "his name is Kevin", she shrugged and said, "Calvin, Kevin whatever", he laughed and said, "girl I have missed you". Derek watched as Penelope toed off her shoes, he watched her lock her doors before heading into her bedroom to change, he looked at Elle and said, "why exactly are we here"?, Elle put her finger to her lips and said, "shhhhh, just watch and listen".

They watched as she walked back into the room and headed toward the kitchen, she fixed some hot cocoa and headed over to the couch and sat down and turned on the tv and went in search of a movie to watch. She flipped through several channels before she found a black and white movie, she sat indian style on her couch with the remote in one hand and her cup of cocoa in the other.

She glanced beside her to where Derek could been sitting if he wasn't dating Savannah, she sighed and held her cup up and said, "Merry Christmas handsome, I love you and hope that you have a great holiday". Derek and Elle watched as she then took a drink of her cocoa, Derek sat down beside her on the couch and said, "awwww baby you are breaking my heart, I can't stand to see you so sad".

Elle walked over and said, "you need to tell her Morgan", he looked at her and said, I need to tell her what"?, she said, "don't play dumb with me mister, you don't play it well". He held up his hands and said, "I love her Elle, I really do", she pointed her finger at him and said, "I knew it, all of that baby girl, hotstuff crap was allllllll foreplay, I knew it alllllll along".

Derek laughed and said, "she is my best friend Elle, she is my rock, my safe place, my guiding light and I don't know what I would do without her", Elle held up her hands and said, "sooooooooo tell her that, let her know how you really feel before it's to late". He stood up and said, "what does that mean, dad said it first and now you, before it's to late for what"?, Elle pointed for him to watch Penelope.

He turned to watch her pick up a picture of them together and with tears streaming down her face she said, "I only want to see you happy and if being with Savannah is what it takes to make you happy then I'll be the dutiful best friend and stand by you". Derek wanted to reach over and pull her into his arms and tell her that he only wanted her, but he couldn't right now.

Elle cleared her throat and said, "Morgan we need to go", he said, "no I don't want to go, I want to stay here with Penelope, I want to stay with my baby girl", Elle said, "we need to go now Morgan, you still have one more place to go tonight". He stood up and looked at his heartbroken best friend and said, "I love you goddess:, as he followed Elle across the room he turned around and took several peaks over his shoulder at the beautiful woman that would always own his heart.

A few steps later they were standing in a famaliar apartment, he looked at Elle and said, "wait a minute, I know this place, this is Savannah's apartment, why are we here Elle"?, she smiled and said, "I need you to watch now Morgan". Derek stood there as Savannah walked through her apartment in a red nighty, Elle looked at her and said, "she's alright butttttt".

Derek sighed and said, "she is no Penelope", Elle smiled and said, "good answer Morgan, good answer", they watched as there was a knock at the door, they watched as she looked through the peep hole. She stood back and opened the door and let a man inside her apartment, Derek watched as she pulled the man into her arms and crashed her lips to his.

Derek looked at Elle and said, "when is this happening"?, Elle said, "it is happening right now Morgan", Derek watched as they started undressing each other and he watched as they headed through the apartment and they heard as Savannah and this strange man were making love in the other room. He looked at Elle and said, "I can't believe this, because I didn't want to screw her tonight she found someone that would".

Elle put her hand on his shoulder and said, "I'm really sorry Morgan", Derek looked at her and said, "don't be, I'm not, I knew there was something that was off about her". Elle said, "we need to go because you still have one visitor left to come tonight". They walked out of Savannahs apartment and a few steps later they were back in his bedroom.

Elle said, "I have to go now, but it was great to see you again, I have missed you, I have missed everybody", Derek hugged her and said, "don't be a stranger ok, you need to come and visit us soon". She smiled and said, "ummmmmm maybe we will have to wait and see how things work out", she then turned and started walkig away, she looked over her shoulder and said, "good luck Morgan".

Derek watched as Elle disappeared, he laid down and rolled over onto his side and closed his eyes, a few minutes later he hears someone saying, "daddy wake up, daddy I need you to wake up". He opens his eyes and says, "did you just call me daddy"?, she smiled and said, "yes I did, I could be your daughter if you make the right choice but you are running out of time, you have to chose soon or you will lose me and momma forever".
