Desire-Ch 11

Derek and Penelope spent the rest of the day and evening wrapped in each others arms either making love or just basking in the after glow, he looked at her and said, "I think we should head over to my place and spend the night there". Penelope said, "ohhhhh you think so huh"?, he laughed and said, "I can fix us a nice romantic dinner and we can spend the evening watching movies and maybe a few more rounds of what we did lastnight and this morning".

She kissed his lips gently and said, "let me grab a few things and we can head out", he nodded his head and watched as she got up off the couch and headed into her room. He sighed happily and got up and put his shoes on and was ready to go when Penelope came out with her overnight bag, she knew that she shouldn't go with him that she should stay and wait for Eric to call but her heart ached to be with Derek now and so she smiled and took him by the hand and let her heart lead the way.

Once they got to Dereks place he fixed them a delicious pasta dish with salad and homemade bread, Penelope said, "that was amazing", Derek said, "seeeeeee I am wooing you". She laughed and said, "soooooooo Romeo what are we going to do now"?, he said, "would you like to dance"?, he walked over and turned on the music and smiled happily at her as she put her hand in his.

As they danced around his living room everything was perfect, Derek leaned down and pressed his lips against hers and said, "I love you", she took a deep breath and said, "I" and then there was a knock at the door. Derek rested his forehead against hers and said, "don't worry I will send them away", he kissed her one final time before heading across the room.

When he opened the door he saw Amber standing there, she said, "I got here as soon as I got your text", she leaned in and kissed his lips, he said, "I don't know what you're talking about I didn't send you a text". She said, "ohhhhhh yes you did lover, it said for more of what we had the other night come back to my place soooooo here I am".

Penelope stepped into his kitchen so Amber couldn't see her, had he been playing her all this time, was he not serious about her, as she stood there she remembered the flowers, the muffins, the dancing, the delicious meals and allllll of the mind blowing sex. She watched as Derek stepped out onto the porch and shut the door.

She walked over and grabbed her bag and pulled out her cell and dialed a number, after a few rings she said, "yes I need a taxi at the corner of Jackson and Gallo street please". After the call ended she sighed as she grabbed her bag and headed toward the back door, she saw a tablet and pencil on the counter and wrote him a little note before slipping out the back door.

Derek looked at Amber and said, "listen Amber we had some fun but I'm with somebody else now", she put her hands on her hips and said, "but the text", he said,
"I didn't send you a text, I have no idea who did but it wasn't me". She bit down on her bottom lip and said, "well I guess I'll go but I think I could show you another great night".

He said, "like I said I'm with somebody else and she's an amazing girl", Amber said, "is she still inside"?, Derek said, "that is none of your business", Amber said, "I think it is I'm your girlfriend so if anybody should be getting your attention it should be me and not that hussy". She pushed right by Derek and walked inside.

She said, "where are you tramp"?, Derek said, "Amber that's enough, get out NOW", she said, "not until I find that hussy", Derek said, "do I have to have you arrested"?, she said, "no but if you want to use your handcuffs again I'm good with that". He said, "GET OUT NOWWWWWW", she walked to the door and he watched as she slammed the door shut behind her.

Derek said, "it's okay baby girl I sent her away", he got no answer, he said, "baby you can come out now", he searched upstairs and downstairs and when he saw the notepad by the door he walked over and picked it up. He took a deep breath as he started to read the heartbreaking words that she wrote before she left his life again.

Derek grabbed his keys and headed over to her place, he hoped that he would be able to talk to her and explain that he had nothing to do with Amber coming over to his place. What Derek didn't know was that Penelope called JJ in the taxi and arranged a sleepover with her, Spencer and Henry, for the rest of the weekend she needed to stay Derek Morgan free.
