AN: Hello Hello! Okay so I think this will be the last update until probably Monday. It's my birthday weekend whoop whoop so I doubt I will be able to do much writing. Also I think I'm going to wrap this story up within the next chapter or so. Thanks for all the support! XOXO Lizzie
I don't own a thing ;p
About half an hour later Derek returned with two bags of groceries. As he approached Pen's apartment he heard music. She always blasted music when she cleaned. He opened the door quietly so she would notice he was there. As he peeked in he saw Pen dancing around and singing.
"HEY BIG SPENDER!" she shouted as she shook her hips
"SSSPPPEENNNDDD A LITTLE TIME WITH ME!" she sang as she finished dusting
"Oh baby I'd like to spend more than just a little time with you" Derek said with a wink
Penelope turned around with a smile on her face "I think that can be arranged. How was shopping?"
"Fine" he said as he put the bags down and started to unload them "So what's all this for?"
"Dinner, I'm making egg plant parm and cupcakes for desert"
"Who's it for?"
"My book club, we get together every month and this month is my turn to host"
"What time does this shin dig start?"
"Like two and a half hours" she said with an almost panicked expression
"Want some help?" he asked
"Please and thank you!" she smiled
"Here you go baby" he said handing her a colorful arrangement of daisies
"Aw sugar you shouldn't have" she said kissing his cheek "they are gorgeous"
"Just like you!" he grinned
After they finished a little more cleaning Derek started dinner while Pen started the cupcakes. She put them in the oven, looking at the clock she realized she still needed to get dressed.
"Crap D I have to go get ready! Are you all set here?"
"Yeah I'm good! Go ahead" he said giving her a quick kiss
Pen had to giggle at how seriously he was taking his cooking job, making sure everything was perfect.
After she got dressed and ready she looked over at Derek who was standing at the stove with his back towards her. She crept up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. Raising on her tip toes she started kissing his shoulders and neck.
"Baby girl what are you doing?" he said trying to concentrate on dinner
She said nothing. Instead she started running her hands up and down his chest and nipping his ear.
She got a grunt/ moan thing in response, she took it as a good thing.
"Thanks for helping me out today" she whispered as she rested her chin on his shoulder.
"Pen for you anything." he said turning his head to kiss her
"I kind of really love you D"
"I kind of really love you too" he said as he turned off the stove. He turned around and pulled Penelope close and just took in how beautiful she was for a moment
"You're absolutely gorgeous you know that?"
Her cheeks got slightly pink "D…"
"No really I mean it!"
"Thank you" she said with a coy smile and then his lips were on hers, her favorite place for them to be.
Just then they heard the doorbell and pulled apart
"UGHHHH" she groaned, she so did not want this to end.
"I guess I should be going" he said reluctantly
"I want to introduce you first but come back later?" she stated more than asked
"Oh of course!" he said as she walked to the door "just shoot me a text"
She opened the door to all of her friends and asked them in. Derek was surprised when he saw at least twelve women there; he didn't know book clubs were so popular.
"Everyone this is Derek my" at that point she was tongue tied. She knew he loved her but was he okay with her calling him her boyfriend? She mentally kicked herself for not asking sooner. She didn't want to say something wrong and freak him out
"I'm her boyfriend" he spoke up and gave them his million watt smile.
Pen let out a breath she didn't even know she was holding.
"Well I better get going" he said giving Pen a quick kiss and heading out
Penelope's friends stayed for about 2 hours, She texted Derek as soon as everyone was gone.
Hiya hottie! Wanna get your fine ass over here so we can watch a movie? : )
He chuckled as he read it
Hey sweet thang! I'll be there as fast as possible! You better have saved me a cupcake! And I don't just mean you ;)
She did in fact save him one; she knew her cupcakes were his favorite.
And what if I didn't Mr. Morgan?
He knew she saved him one but he loved that she messed with him anyway
Then you Ms. Garcia will PAY!
With kisses I hope it's a currency I am quite fond of! :)
I suppose that'll work ;)
As soon as Morgan got there he let himself in with his key, he didn't see Penelope " Okay baby girl" he said "time to pay up!"
Penelope practically ran out of the bedroom and flung her arms around his neck, kissing all over his face.
"I saved you a cupcake" she said grabbing the plate off the counter with a smile
"You're the best!"
"I know" she said "So what movie shall we watch"
"Whatever you want mamma" he said taking a seat on the couch
"Singing in the Rain?" she loved the classics
"Sure" he said finishing off his cake "That was fantastic!"
"Thank ya!" she replied taking a seat next to him
Immediately he put his arm around her shoulder pulling her against him. She cuddled into her usual movie watching spot right next to Derek wrapping her arms around him.
Not even half way through the movie they were both passed out, snuggled together with smiles on their faces.
