Meant To Be-Ch 9

The second their lips touched they were both tingling all over their bodies, at first Penelope didn't respond and when she felt Derek getting ready to pull away she responded by deepening the kiss. Derek moaned against her lips as she slid her tongue inside his mouth, never before had he ever felt like this before.

Penelope took her arms and wrapped them around his body and held him close, when they pulled apart he said, "I'm so sorry", she looked up at him and said, "don't be, I'm not". He said, "I don't know why I did that", she smiled and said, "I'm glad you did", he said, "you are"?, she nodded her head and said, "I am".

Derek said, "so I wasn't pushing it to far"?, she said, "no, not at all", she then leaned in and pressed her lips against his, he responded instantly by smiling against her lips. They quickly pulled apart when Tyler came running into the room, Derek said, "hey little man, what's up"?, he laughed and handed his daddy a picture that he had colored.

Derek proudly beamed as he looked down at the picture, he said, "wow buddy, this is beautiful", he grinned as he buried his head in his daddys leg. Penelope said, "can I see it"?, he nodded his head yes and Derek turned the picture around and Penelope said, "who is that"?, Tyler said, "dat daddy, dis me and dat is you".

Penelope said, "me"?, he nodded his head and said, "uh huh, dat you", she reached up and wiped away a stray tear and said, "awwww buddy thank you". He hugged her and then laughed as he ran across the room again, Derek said, "he's something else isn't he"?, Penelope looked down at the picture in her hand and said, "he certainly is".

Derek watched as Penelope looked down at the picture, he could tell that the beautiful woman was deeply touched by the picture that was currently in her hands. She sighed and said, "didn't mean to get all sappy on you, I'm sorry", Derek said, "hey you never have to say your sorry to me, not ever". She blew out a deep breath and said, "that little angel just totally made my day" earning a smile from Derek.

Penelope said, "soooooo about Christmas, what are you going to do about Tylers list"?, Derek said, "ohhhhh don't worry everything that's on that list is either here or will be here when momma and the girls get here". She grinned and said, "ohhhh he's going to have a wonderful Christmas", Derek said, "I'm hoping that we all do".

She said, "me to", Derek winked at her and said, "so baby girl, what would you like to do now"?, she said, "how about a movie"?, he said, "I think that I might be able to arrange that". He said, "how about I go and pop some popcorn and get some drinks and then the three of us can watch a movie"?, she said, "that sounds great".

Derek looked at Tyler and said, "buddy would you like to watch a movie with us"?, he clapped his hands and said, "yayyyyyyyy mobie", as he ran across the floor and climbed onto the couch with Penelope. When Derek came back into the room a few minutes later he saw the two humped up together and she was reading him a story.

When the story was done Derek said, "how about we watch Rudolph"?, Penelope and Tyler said, "yeahhhhhhhhh" at the same time causing Derek to laugh as he put their snacks down on the table and made his way over to put the movie into the dvd player.
