Hi Everyone! I am not sure why my muse went this way but it did. I want to thank everyone for your support with this story. I am having a lot of fun writing it. Hopefully I'll be able to write more in class today.

Enjoy


Penelope felt his lips brush against hers, tentatively at first. Derek slowly started to add more pressure to coax her into deepening the kiss. His hand, which was under her chin, migrated to he back of her neck, pulling her closer.

He pushed against her lips, letting the tip of his tongue trace across the seam of her mouth and enticing her to open. When she did open her mouth, he instantly took advantage and thrust his tongue into her mouth letting both of his hands cup the side of her face, slowly leaning her backwards onto his bed.

Her mind was racing; she was being kissed by someone who definitely knew how to kiss. Boys, she'd kissed in the past that could never compare to Derek. She started to get into it as she opened her mouth to him. That's when she felt him push her back onto the bed. She instantly put the palms of her hands on his chest, pushing him away.

"What the hell, Derek?"

Derek stared at her, his eyes widening at the tone she had just used. It was spoken with such force it was almost venomous. "I thought you wanted this?" he asked, still wide eyed like a child who was being scolded by his mother.

"Be another notch in your belt? Hell no! What's your problem?" She shot off of the bed, ready to make her move to the exit. She was pissed. What was wrong with Derek Morgan that he thought she would willingly spread her legs for him like one of his bimbos like Cassandra? She was not that girl. No fucking way. And if that's what Derek Morgan wanted, then he had another thing coming to him.

"Penelope, wait!" He jumped up, grabbing her arm and stopping her from leaving, "You got it all wrong."

"Got it wrong? Really, Derek? You take me into your bunk and try to seduce me? Tell me where I'm wrong here? Because I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine you lowering me onto the bed." She spat, trying to remove her arm from his grasp.

"You've got it all wrong. I wasn't trying to bed you, Penelope. I wanted to kiss you. More than anything else I have ever wanted to do in my life," he said honestly.

"In hopes that it would lead to more? I knew you were a typical jock, Derek." She got out of his grasp and moved towards the door.

"No," he said, "I like you. I like you a lot, and I know you felt it, too. You felt what was just between us. You can't deny it." He tried to reason with her.

Penelope took a deep breath, "Derek, I don't know what that was, but I know the stories about you and how you're a smooth talker. I'm not like Cassandra. I won't sleep with you," she said firmly.

"I don't care if you ever sleep with me." He took her hand and pulled her back to the bed making her sit down. "I really like you, Penelope. You're different. You're not like Cassandra and her posey. You're you. Unique and funny, and you give me shit faster than anyone I know."

"Four brothers," she said with a smile. She could pull punches just as fast as anyone.

"See right there? You're proud that you can do that. You speak your mind, Baby Girl, and I like that. I like you." He brushed his knuckles against her cheek, trying to control the situation.

She looked at him for a moment and she felt the sincerity in his words. Derek was right she couldn't deny what she was feeling around him. It was like something was pulling them together. "I won't sleep with you," she reiterated.

He smiled knowing she was backing down from her trepidation about him. "I would never do anything you didn't want, Baby Girl."

She nodded her head slightly before moving her hands to pull his lips closer to hers.

After a few minutes, Derek pulled away. "We need to head back out to the field before they send someone to look for us," he said regretfully. He wanted nothing more than to continue to kiss her. Penelope's kisses felt like nothing else.

He grabbed her hand taking her back out to the field. He felt so good at this moment, everything felt right. Nothing could bring him down.

They walked onto the field and Emily came running up to them, "PG, you okay?" she asked, a little worried.

Penelope gave a quick look at Derek. "Yeah, I'm more than okay." She looked back at a skeptical Emily. "I told you guys I was fine."

"Baby Girl, it's better to get you looked at than to wonder." He gave her a cheeky smile. "I for one am glad I took you over there,"

She swatted his arm as Andy ran up to them. "You cleared to play?"

"Yeppers." She smiled at him. "Let's go win."

They set up for the next play. Penelope for the first time was extremely happy her parents sent her to camp. Today was turning out to be a perfect day.

The game continued on like nothing had happened, and there were no interruptions. Emily had the ball, and Penelope was chasing after her when she heard Cassandra laugh from behind. For some reason, she turned, only to see Cassandra jumping onto Derek's back playfully.

She stiffened until she saw Derek push her away. Cassandra needed to lay off of him. Derek was hers. Then she smiled. She never called anyone hers before. It felt kind of good. She was happy Derek pushed her Cassandra away. It meant he was serious about what he told her in his bunk.

As the game went on, Penelope couldn't help but pay more attention to Cassandra hanging all over Derek. At first he would push her away but as the time went on during the game he stopped pushing her away and let her fawn all over him.


"You okay, Pen?" Emily asked.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." Penelope lied, as she watched Derek put the flags back in the bag. Cassandra was still all over him as he put the equipment away. Didn't he tell her he wanted her in the bunk and not Cassandra? Maybe he changed his mind because she said she wouldn't sleep with him.

"You don't look fine," Emily said looking at her friends hurt expression. "You should be ecstatic. Blue Team won thanks to you."

Penelope's heart plummeted when she saw Cassandra grab ahold of Derek's arm and drag him with her. She couldn't believe it. He willingly went with her behind the tent with Cassandra.

He lied to her. He told her he liked her and that she was special. Guess she wasn't as special as she thought, if he could disappear behind the tent to go do god knows what with Cassandra. She felt the tears prick her eyes. How could she have been so stupid to fall for someone like him? She should have known better.

"Penelope!" Emily grabbed her arm. "You look like you're about to cry."

"Right on, Morgan!" Andy yelled, as he made his way up to Emily and Penelope "Looks like my boy is gonna get him some,"

Emily looked at the direction Andy was pointing in, then back to Penelope. She could see the hurt on her face. This was why she thought Andy and Derek were assholes. They played with girl's heartstrings. "Come on, Pen. Let's head to the bus." Emily took her hand, dragging her away from the field.

Once they made it onto the bus, Penelope broke down. She felt so stupid. She let some random boy get to her. She was stronger than to be swayed by some athletic star, as least she thought she was.

"Penelope, tell me what's going on?" Emily asked softly as her friend cried into her shoulder. She was glad no one else had made it onto the bus yet.

"I believed him, Em." She cried a little harder,

"Start from the beginning," Emily said softly.

"After we got of out the Medical Tent, he took me back to his bunk. He told me about his family, and how unique and special I was, and how he really liked me. I thought he was telling me the truth. He made me feel so good. No one had ever told me anything like that before. So we made out on top of his bed." She sobbed, remembering the feel of his lips on hers.

"Did you sleep with him?" Emily asked, if she did she was going to kill Derek for hurting her like that.

"No, I wouldn't do that. I even told him I won't sleep with him. I guess that's why he decided to move on back to Cassandra."

Emily saw red. What an asshole. How could he do that to Penelope? This was why she would avoid the boys from this camp at all costs.

"He made me feel special. At first I thought he was trying to get into my pants, but then he assured me it wasn't like that and stupid me believed him." She shook her head. "God, Em, I am so freaking stupid."

"You're not stupid," Emily said.

Penelope pulled out of her arms, wiping away her tears. She looked out the window back to the field. How did her perfect day turn to shit so fast? She would never let Derek Morgan near her again. "You know what Emily, you're right! I'm not stupid. He's the stupid one."

"That's right!" Emily agreed with her.

"I can't believe I actually thought someone like Derek Morgan would be interested in being with me," she said a little sadly as her emotions were going all over the place. "I was naïve enough to think he'd actually be my first boyfriend."

Emily shot her head towards Penelope's. "You've never had a boyfriend?" she asked.

"Nope, so I've never had heartbreak either." She shrugged. "I'm supposed to eat a whole tub of ice cream now, right?"

Emily had to give it to her. She was trying to joke even though she was hurting. "Something like that. When we get back to camp, I'll go over my post break up ritual with you."

"Can I ever call it a breakup? It's not like we were dating," she asked.

"He broke your heart right?" Emily asked. Penelope nodded her head. "Then we will have a broken hearted ritual tonight."


"Cassandra, what are you doing?" Derek asked as she pulled him behind the tent.

"Come on, baby, I miss you," she cooed as she pushed him around the corner.

"No, Cassandra," Derek said as he pushed her away.

She looked around to make sure no one was there before she dropped to her knees. "Come on baby, you know I can make it good for you." She went to reach for his waistband when he pulled away.

"No Cassandra, I don't want you," he said forcefully. Was she crazy? He would never do anything with anyone in a public area where anyone could walk around here at any moment, and he wanted nothing to do with her. He had Penelope now, and that was who he wanted.

"You know you want me," she said, trying to move closer to him.

"No! I don't. Trust me, you have nothing I want!" He took off running to the field. He needed to find Penelope and tell her he'd be over later tonight to see her.

He ran up to Andy who was putting flags into the bags. "Where's Penelope?"

"Damn, that was fast? What are you a minute man now?" Andy joked, ignoring his question.

"Andy, where did Penelope go?" he asked again.

"I don't know. Emily and her left after we all saw you and Cassandra head to the back of the tent. You last what, like, thirty seconds?" He started to laugh.

Derek snapped his head towards him, "Do you really think I'd fuck her behind a tent? I don't want Cassandra, and that's exactly what I just told her!" Derek yelled. He needed to find Penelope. She probably thought he went back there to be with Cassandra, but in reality he wanted nothing to do with her.

"What you want to fuck Penelope instead? Have you even looked at her? I'm pretty sure I'd never be able to get it up."

"Fuck you!" Derek jumped on Andy tackling him to the ground. The two started fighting as one of the coaches pulled them apart.

"Knock it off!" the coach hollered.

"He started it!" Andy said pointing at Derek.

"I don't care who started it! it ends now. We don't want the other camp to think were hoodlums," the coach said firmly.

Derek pulled himself out of the coach's arms and headed towards the buses. He needed to get to Penelope before it was to late.


AN: Please do not throw things at me. Our couple will be back together soon. I needed a little drama in this story.
