Derek Or Luke-Ch 11
Penelope and the girls were having fun, a night of vegging with them is just what she needed, they were listening to music and dancing when somebody knocked on the door. JJ said, "wonder who that is"?, Penelope said, "can you get it Jayje"?, she said, "sure" and walked across the room and opened the door to see a young delivery boy standing there with a huge teddy bear".
JJ said, "can I help you"?, he said, "yes I have a delivery for a Penelope Garcia", Penelope stepped forward and said, "that's me", the boy smiled and said, "I need your signature right here mam". Penelope signed the paper and the boy handed the huge bear over and said, "here you go mam, have a nice day" before turning around and walking back down the corridor.
Emily said, "awwww it's adorable who's it from"?, she searched for a card and said, "let's see", she opened the envelope and took a deep breath as she readied to read the card. JJ and Emily smiled as Penelope read, "I'M SORRY ABOUT EARLIER, PLEASE FORGIVE ME AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN STILL HAVE THAT DINNER, LUKE".
JJ said, "well Garcie, what do you think"?, she said, "I think he's off to a good start that's what I think", Emily said, "that sucker is huge, where are you going to put it"?, she said, "in my room on my dresser that way I can see it all the time". JJ and Emily then watched as she carried it through to her room and did just that, put it on her dresser before returning to the living room.
Penelope picked up her cell and sent a quick text that said, "THANKS FOR THE BEAR AND YES I'D LOVE TO HAVE THAT DINNER, MAYBE TOMORROW NIGHT, WE'LL TALK TOMORROW, PENELOPE". Emily said, "soooo I take it you sent Luke a text thanking him for the bear"?, she said, "I did indeed and I accepted his dinner invitation, we're suppose to talk tomorrow about dinner tomorrow night".
JJ said, "what about Derek"?, Penelope said, "I love him Jayje, I love him with all my heart and", their conversation was stopped by another knock at the door. Emily said, "my turn", she ran across the room and opened the door to reveal another delivery boy, she smiled and said, "can I help you"?, the boy said, "I have a delivery for a Penelope baby girl Garcia".
Penelope grinned and said, "that's me", he said, "I just need for you to sign right here mam", Penelope signed her name and the boy handed her the box and said, "have a nice day mam". Penelope said, "you to" and then she closed the door and carried the box back over to where the girls were and laid it down on the table.
Emily and JJ watched as Penelope took the ribbon off the box and slid the lid back, she said, "ohhhhh they're beautiful", in the box was 2 dozen dark red roses, Penelopes favorite. She picked one up and smelled it and said, "amazingggggg", JJ said, "Morgan has great taste in flowers", Emily said, "and in PG's case, women" causing the women to grin.
Penelope rubbed the rose up and down her cheek and said, "it feels so soft", JJ said, "he loves you Garcie", she smiled and said, "I love him to, so much but what if"?, Emily said, "he's been in love with you for years PG, maybe it's time for you and Derek to finally be together". Penelope smiled and said, "maybe you're right".
She picked up her cell and instead of sending him a text she said, "excuse me for a few minutes girlies" and went through to the bathroom so she could talk to Derek. She closed the door and dialed his number and after a few rings she heard, "hey baby girl", she said, "hey yourself handsome, how are ya"?, he grinned and said, "I'm okay, lonely and missing my girl but I'm okay".
Penelope said, "thank you soooooo much for the roses, I love them", he said, "did you read the card yet"?, she said, "no but I've got it here in my hands right now". She opened the envelope and she read to herself. "I'M SO SORRY FOR TODAY BUT NOT FOR HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU, I LOVE YOU BABY GIRL, YOU'RE MY HEART, MY SOUL AND THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, PLEASE GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE".
She sniffed and he said, "well, will you give me another chance"?, she wiped away the tear that streamed down her cheek and she said, "yes, yes of course I will". He smiled and said, "that's wonderful, thank you", she said, "I would say that we could spend some time together tonight but I'm having a girls day with JJ and Em".
He said, "what about tomorrow"?, she said, "can't handsome, got plans with Luke", he said, "how about Friday"?, she said, "Friday sounds great to me sugar shack". He grinned and said, "how about I pick you up and we go out for dinner and dancing and then we'll see where things go from there"?, she bit down on her lip and said, "sounds good, I'll see you Friday".
Before the call ended he said, "I love you baby girl", she felt her heart racing as she said, "I love you to", he ended the call by saying, "sweet dreams, I've already got that covered cause I'm going to be dreaming of you tonight". As the call ended Penelope sighed happily and said, "ohhhhh Garcie what have you gotten yourself into here".
She stood up and headed back through the house and JJ and Emily said unison, "welllllllll"?, she said, "Derek and I are going out for dinner and dancing on Friday night". Emily high fived Penelope and said, "way to go PG", JJ grinned and said, "sounds like you are going to be one busy little girl Garcie", Penelope nodded her head in agreement and said, "what am I going to do, I have two great men here"?, Emily said, "just do what your heart tells you to do", she sighed happily and said, "I'm hungry who wants pizza"?, JJ and Emily said, "meeeeee" she giggled as she watched the girls ordering the pizza.
She stood there with the rose in her hand and smiled as it touched her face and whispered, "maybe hotstuff, just maybe it's our time" before rejoining the girls to start dancing again.
