The Wedding Date-Ch 11
When everybody got into the backyard Payton said, "we're going to make this game a little more interesting than most", Paul said, "interesting how brother dear"?, he said, "wellllllll, we are going to have the boys playing against the girls". Shelly laughed and said, "ohhhh this is going to be good" as she rubbed her hands together.
Patrick said, "Pay are you sure about this"?, he said, "piece of cake little brother, piece of cake", Shelly said, "we want to be first at bat", the men all nodded their heads yes in agreement as they took the field. Penelope sighed as she looked out to see Derek on second base, she wanted no she needed to talk to him to find out what she did to make him so hurt and mad.
Shelly said, "are you alright P"?, she said, "yeah", she said, "ohhh I know that tone, did you and Derek get into an argument"?, she shrugged and said, "evidently we did but I don't know what happened". Shelly put her arm over her shoulder and said, "how was lastnight"?, she said, "it was amazinggggggg".
Penelope said, "I didn't want it to end, he's an amazing lover, the best I've ever had and I woke up first and came down to the house to get us some coffee and before I could get back tot he cabin he came home and came home mad". Shelly said, "ahhhhh, he's hurt, he thinks that you are regretting something that happened".
She shook her head and said, "never, I'd never regret what we did, never", Shelly looked over her shoulder and said, "I have an idea", Penelope leaned in and listened to what her sister in law had to say. Derek looked up at where the women were and sighed, wondering why he had fallen for a woman that didn't want him.
He watched as she threw her head back and laughed, he wondered what she was talking about, he wanted to touch her, kiss her, to throw her over his shoulder and take her back to the cabin and have his way with her over and over. He was pulled back to reality when Payton said, "snap out of it Derek, we've got to win this game".
When Shelly was finished Penelope said, "but what about the plans for the rest of the night"?, she said, "don't worry about it, go, have fun and enjoy each other". Penelope hugged her and said, "thank you Shelly", she said, "no problem girlie", as she headed to bat she heard Paul say, "easy out guys, easy out".
Derek watched as swung the first time and heard, "strikeeeee 1", Shelly said, "shake it off P, shake it off", Penelope nodded her head in agreement as she swung the second time and heard, "strikeeeeeeee 2". She stepped back and took a deep breath and said, "you can do this Garcie, you can do this".
She stepped forward and swung and when it connected with the ball she heard squeals of delight and started running, she touched 1st base and saw the ball out in the field and headed to second base where Derek was. She smiled and said, "hiya hotstuff", he nodded his head and said, "hi".
Penelope said, "please tell me what I did to make you so mad at me", he said, "not now", she said, "yes now, I have the right to know don't you think"?, he said, "no, we'll discuss this later". She looked at Shelly who nodded her head and said, "go on P", Penelope said, "ohhhhhh Derekkkkkk".
Derek looked at her and said, "what" and when he was looking at her she raised her shirt and said, "see anything you like"?, he said, "woman what are you doing"?, she said, "answer my question, do you see anything you like"?, he said, "Penelope can we talk about this later"?, she shook her head no and grabbed his hands and put them solidly on her breasts.
When she did that he was putty in her hands, he said, "I I I", she said, "now tell me", he said, "you were gone this morning", she said, "yeah, I went back to the house to get us some coffee and before I could get back to you I had an argument with Abby and then when I was getting ready to try again you came into the house and were mad at me".
Derek opened his mouth to say something and that's when Shelly hit the ball and Penelope said, "later hotstuff" and he then watched as she headed toward 3rd base. Shelly stopped on 2nd and watched as Penelope slid into home right before the ball was caught by the catcher, she jumped up and said, "yessssssss".
Shelly smiled and said, "don't be mad at her Derek, she loves ya", he smiled and said, "she does"?, she nodded her head and said, "she does, she told me so". He said, "thanks Shelly you have no idea how much that helped", Shelly grinned and said, "anything for true love Derek" and then they heard the next girl hit the ball and she said, "catch ya later Derek" as she ran toward 3rd base.
Patrick said, "this isn't good Pay, we're losing like 2 to 0 here", Payton said, "don't worry we'll catch up", he said, "I don't know about that", by the time that inning was over the women had scored 5 runs. As they went to trade sides of the field Payton said, "how about we raise the stakes of this game"?, Shelly said, "what do you want to bet honey"?, he said, "how about the losers have to do a striptease for their woman tonight".
Shelly clapped her hands and said, "what do you ladies think, are you ready for some stripping tonight"?, the sound of whistles and catcalls filled the air as Shelly shook hands with Payton and said, "you have a deal". He said, "waitttttt a minute sweetie", she said, "yes", he said, "and if we win the women get to strip for us tonight".
Penelope said, "take the bet Shelly, take it", Shelly said, "you my handsome and soon to be naked husband have a deal", Payton was all smiles as the men got ready to bat. Shelly was pitching and Penelope was on 2nd, Paula was on 3rd and Abby was on 1st with the others spread out all over the yard.
Payton was first at bat, he hit the ball and made it to 1st base, next was Patrick, then Paul and the last brother was Parker, the bases were loaded and Parker was at 3 balls 2 strikes. Shelly took a deep breath and threw the ball and when the umpire said, "strike 3 you're outttttt" she jumped up and down squealing.
Todd was next at bat and he hit the ball but it was caught instantly and Payton was tagged out at home, Shelly said, "are you alright sweetie"?, he said, "yes Shell". The count was now 2 outs with a runner on 2nd and 3rd with Derek up to bat, he said, "whew it's hot out here today isn't it" and took his shirt off and tossed it over in a chair.
The girls were all squealing, "ohhhh yeahhhhhh", Penelope said, "easy girls, he's taken", Abby smirked and said, "all's fair in love and baseball cuz". Penelope shook off what she said and watched as Derek stepped up and swung at the ball, he missed the first time and the umpire said, "strike 1".
Payton said, "come on Derek", he took a deep breath and said, "alright Shelly, give it your best shot", she grinned and threw the ball and they heard, "strike 2". Penelope said, "are you alright there sugar shack"?, he said, "just you watch this one goddess, it's gonna go right over your head".
She said, "yeah sureeeeeeee it is handsome, sure it is", on the 3rd pitch Derek hit the ball and sure enough it went over her head and over the fence. Payton said, "yessssssss homerun" and they all watched as the other 2 brothers and Derek went around the bases and over the plate at home.
As the game continued the women would get a few runs and then the men would and the score was now the men had 12 and the women had 10 with somebody on 3rd and 2nd with Penelope up to bat. Derek said, "come on baby, you know you don't want to beat us", she said, "ohhhhhhh my chocolate Adonis I do, I do".
Payton pitched the ball and she said, "frack" as the ump said, "strike 1", Derek said, "come on baby", Penelope said, "stop trying to get into my head handsome". He blew her a kiss and said, "I can't wait to see you stripping for me later", Payton pitched the ball and the umpire said, "strike 2".
Derek said, "Penelope this is the final out in the 9th inning, if you strike out we win the game", Shelly said, "but if she hits it and the 3 of them come in we get the win". Payton said, "that's not going to happen though, I'm going to strike her out", Shelly said, "whatever helps you sleep at night husband dear" causing them all to laugh.
Penelope readied to hit the ball and she whispered, "please let me hit it, please" and then the sound of the ball hitting the bat and as they ran the person on 3rd scored, followed by the person on 2nd and as Penelope rounded third heading home the third baseman threw the ball to homeplace and Derek watched as Penelope hit the ground and slid into homeplate.
Everybody waited patiently for the ump who finally said, "YOU'RE SAFEEEEEEEE", Shelly hugged Penelope and said, "yesssssssss, yesssssss", Penelope looked at Derek and said, "ohhhh sugar", he said, "yes". She said, "tonight make sure to pick a good song okay"?, he laughed as he ran up to her and said, "ohhhh don't you worry, you'll be highly entertained".
She kissed his lips and said, "I don't doubt it sugar, I don't doubt it at all", Abby watched the way Dereks abs glistened with sweat as he leaned down and picked up his shirt. Payton said, "alright guys, pizzas on me" and everybody cheered as they headed off the field to get cleaned up before they ate.
Derek playfully swatted Penelope on the butt and said, "I'm gonna spank that little butt for you baby girl", she shook her butt in his face and said, "promises promises angelfish". She gasped in surprise as he picked her up and tossed her over his shoulder and started playfully smacking her butt as they ran across the yard.
