Opposites Attract-Ch 10

The next few weeks passed by quickly as they adjusted to their lives again, Penelope would spend the days at work and the nights with Derek. A couple of days after they returned home from their trip Penelopes boss suddenly retired and her new boss stepped forward, Sam Davis.

He had kept Penelope busy, to busy for Dereks liking, it was like he was purposely trying to keep Penelope away from him, a fact that he didn't like, not even a little. Their had been numerous times that she had to cancel their dates at the last minute because of work and tonight was the latest cancellation.

Derek blew out a deep breath and said, "this can't be happening", JJ walked into the room and said, "what can't be happening sir"?, he said, "she cancelled again, she's gotta work". JJ said, "have you checked out her new boss to see what you can find out"?, he said, "I am checking him out now but so far he's clean, like to clean, like squeaky clean".

JJ said, "her new boss stepped up pretty fast after you got your 3rd installment of her essence didn't he"?, Derek said, "yeah he did, it was only a few days after we got back". He walked across the room and said, "her old boss suddenly retired, Penelope thought that was odd, I do to".

She watched as he ran his hand over the top of his head and said, "since we've come home we've only been intimate 2 times because by the time she comes home she's to tired to do anything". JJ said, "why don't you surprise her at work, see if anything is off with her there".

Derek said, "that's a good idea, do you think that you could fix me a picnic basket"?, she said, "on it sir", he then rubbed his hands together and said, "you're not getting my woman Sam, not my soulmate, not now, not ever" and then he headed upstairs to get changed for his surprise visit.

Meanwhile at work Sam smiled as he watched Penelope work, she was the best computer specialist he'd ever seen in his life, a fact that only drew him closer to him. He leaned in and said, "you're so beautiful, I can't believe that you're not married".

She looked up at him and said, "uhh not yet but I'm in a relationship", he said, "ahhh yes this Derek that I'm always hearing about". She nodded her head and said, "I love him so much", Sam said, "are you engaged because if you are I don't see a ring".

Penelope said, "no, we not engaged but" and before she could finish her sentence Sams lips were on hers, she then felt his arms wrapped around her pulling her close. Derek stepped to the door and cleared his throat and Sam pulled away.

Derek said, "what's going on here"?, Penelope ran into his arms and said, "hi honey, w w what are you doing here"?, he held up the picnic basket and said, "I wanted to surprise you but it seems that I'm the one that got the surprise", she said, "it's not what you think, he just kissed me and I didn't kiss him back, I promise you that I didn't kiss him back".

Derek said, "I believe you sweetness", Sam said, "well I'll leave you to alone and I'm sorry if I over stepped my bounds with you". Penelope said, "just as long as it doesn't happen again", Sam smiled and said, "have a good evening Penelope", she said, "you to" and then they watched as he walked out of her office so that she could have some time alone with Derek.

Sam walked into his office and pulled a phone out of a hidden compartment and dialed a number and after a few rings he heard, "what have you been able to find out Sam"?, he said, "the search is over, I've found him, he's here in Virginia".

The voice on the other end of the phone said, "has he found his soulmate"?, Sam said, "I believe he has sir, a Penelope Garcia, I can sense the connection between him and her". The voice said, "so that means that he's got all 3 tastes of her essence and probably gotten her to say she loves him and given herself to him so now what"?, Sam said, "so now we wait and see if she becomes pregnant with his children".

The voice said, "and if she does you know what you have to do, right"?, he took a deep breath and said, "yes sir, if Penelope becomes pregnant with his children she must die". Before the call ended the voice said, "keep me informed", he said, "yes sir".

Meanwhile in Penelopes office Derek and his baby girl were enjoying a delicious meal but Derek couldn't shake the feeling that Sam was going to be trouble, big trouble. As he looked at his beautiful girlfriend he thought, "come after me if you want Sam but you will never, ever get Penelope, she's mine, she loves me and we belong together".

Penelope cupped his face in her hand and leaned in and kissed his lips passionately, when they pulled apart she said, "I love you". He smiled and said, "I love you to" before claiming her lips with his and then all thoughts of food were forgotten as Penelope and Derek focused on each other and their love as they blocked the rest of the of the world as they made mad passionate love, thus cementing their connection, a connection that nobody would be able to break, nobody.
