Learn To Love Again-Ch 7

As they pulled apart he said, "oh I'm so sorry", she said, "don't be, I'm not", Derek said, "you're not"?, Penelope touched his face and said, "I'm not sorry, not sorry at all". She looked into his eyes and said, "I've wanted to do that ever since the first time I saw you", he gave her his famous Derek Morgan smile and said, "really"?, she said, "really".

Derek said, "you're so beautiful, how is it that you're not married"?, Penelope said, "I just haven't found my mister right I guess", Derek grinned and said, "that's good news for me". Penelope and said, "for me to because God sent me you" as she pulled him down into another passionate kiss, Derek moaned against her lips as she deepened the kiss.

Their tongues battled for control until they pulled apart when Hank said, "daddyyyyyyyyyy", Derek said, "excuse me", she nodded her head and watched as he walked out of the room. Derek walked into his sons room and said, "what's up buddy"?, Hank said, "I wike having her here", Derek smiled and said, "me to buddy, me to" and Hank smiled happily.

After a few seconds he said, "you wike her daddy"?, Derek said, "I do buddy, I really do", he took a deep breath and simply said, "good" and then turned his attention back to his book. Derek grinned and said, "I'm going to go back to Ms. Garcia, okay"?, he said, "okay daddy" without looking up from his book and Derek laughed as he got up and headed back to rejoin Penelope.

When he walked back into his room he saw Penelope standing over by the fireplace, he said, "is everything okay"?, she said, "huh"?, he said, "is everything okay"?, she said, "yeah, yeah, everything is fine". Derek said, "Hank wanted to tell me that he liked having you here", Penelope said, "really"?, he nodded his head and said, "really and you know what"?, she said, "what"?, he wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "I like having you here to".

She sighed and said, "and I like being here with you and Hank", Derek leaned down and brushed his lips against hers, Penelope said, "is this happening to fast"?, Derek said, "I don't think so, I think we've waited long enough". Penelope bit down on her bottom lip and said, "I'm falling in love with you and Hank Derek", he smiled and said, "that's good because I'm falling in love with you to" as his lips were once again on hers.

They pulled apart a few minutes later gasping for air, she rested her forehead against his and said, "we better get out of this room", he licked his lips and said, "yeah we better before I throw you on that bed and make love to you all night". She sighed and said, "I'd like that but not with your son in the other room", he winked at her and said, "I hear ya baby girl, I hear ya".

Penelope said, "baby girl"?, Derek said, "it's one of the many nicknames I'll be calling you", she said, "well that's fine hotstuff", he laughed and said, "hotstuff huh"?, she said, "ohhh yes and I'll call you angel fish, sugar shack just to name a few". Derek kissed her lips one final time and said, "come on sweetness" as they intertwined fingers and headed out of the room.

They spent the rest of the evening watching a movie with Hank and then after the movie was over Penelope and Derek walked her to her car where the happy couple shared a few more kisses before she climbed into her car and headed home. As Derek watched her car pull away from the curb he smiled and waved and knew that she was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
