Derek Or Luke-Ch 10
Penelope grabbed her cell and dialed a familiar number and after a few rings she heard, "morning Garcie", all that JJ heard was Penelope crying and she said, "I'll grab Em and we'll be right over". Penelope ended the call and tossed the cell on the couch beside her and laid down and humped up to the pillow and allowed the tears to fall.
Derek walked into casa Rossi and Fran said, "well good morn" and she could tell by the look on her sons face that all was not good so she walked over to him and said, "what happened"?, he said, "she agreed to give me, give us a shot momma and we talked and drank and drank and talked and we'd both had to much to drink and she wouldn't let me leave".
Fran said, "so you spent the night with Penelope"?, he nodded his head and said, "yeah but nothing happened, all we did was sleep and then everything changed this morning". Fran listened as Derek spent the next few minutes filling her in on what went on once Luke arrived on the scene at Penelopes apartment.
Luke walked into his place and tossed his keys on the table and walked to the refrigerator and grabbed a beer and said, "well it's 5 o'clock somewhere" and downed half of the beer before heading to the living room. As he plopped down on the couch he wondered when he became that guy, the jealous boyfriend, they weren't even dating, not yet and after what happened he doubted that it would ever happen.
Penelope was still crying when JJ and Emily knocked on the door, she waddled across and opened the door and instantly felt her friends wrapping their arms around her. JJ said, "come on honey, let it out, let it all out", the trio stood there for a few minutes and let Penelope get her cry out before they moved over to the couch and sat down".
Emily handed her a tissue and after she had wiped away the tears JJ said, "calm down and tell us what happened, we can't help you if we don't know what's going on". Penelope nodded her head and then spent the next few minutes explaining to them what happened last night and this morning with Derek and Luke.
When she was done Emily said, "so you agreed to not give up on a future with Derek"?, she nodded her head and said, "I did but now Luke is being all nice and sweet and then bam everything changed this morning". JJ said, "so who threw the first punch"?, Penelope said, "Luke did, he punched hotstuff first and then Derek took up for himself, which I totally understood".
Emily said, "butttttt"?, Penelope said, "I'm so confused, I've been in love with Derek since the first day we met and then he gets married to Savannah and they have Hank". JJ said, "and when he moved away you two weren't as close any more and you felt hurt and lonely and when you finally accept that Derek isn't coming back you let Luke in and then Morgan comes back wanting a relationship with you"?, Penelope nodded her head and said, "that would be correct".
Penelope sighed and said, "for so long forever was just a word, something I'd only heard about and Derek was always there for me and when he says forever I believe that maybe, just maybe he's my destiny". Emily said, "and what about Luke"?, she laid her head back on the couch and said, "I don't know Em, I just don't know".
JJ patted her friend on the leg and said, "today is a girls day, no men whatsoever", Emily said, "that's right, we'll give each other mani pedis, we'll veg out and watch movies all day, how does that sound"?, she smiled and said, "thanks girlies, thanks for always being here for me". JJ said, "we love ya Garcie and we'll always, always be here for you" causing all 3 to smile as they then continued making their plans for the rest of the day.
