Too many things unsaid
Chapter 11
Breakfast
The next day Penelope got up and got dressed she put on a white summer dress with bright butterflies. They had another day off and she didn't know what they could do. She looked on the Internet for some movies they could rent and then she made a cup of coffee.
Derek got up and out of bed, had a shower then got dressed he came into Penelope's living room and sat on the sofa to cuddle her. He laid his head against her chest and looked up at her with a grin 'Good morning baby girl did you sleep well?' she smiled back and leaned down to kiss him. 'I'll show you a good morning hot stuff. I slept amazing because I had my chocolate god of a hero next to me. How about you did you sleep well?' he grinned and replied 'I slept amazing because I was sleeping with my god given solace and my goddess' he smiled at her and she leaned down for another kiss.
'I thought we could go out for breakfast today' Derek suggested to Penelope. She looked surprised and smiled at Derek 'I'd love to hot stuff'. Derek nodded his head and said 'we can go in like 5 minutes I just need to get ready.' She looked confused as he left the room. 'Get ready? He's already ready' he came back in 3 minutes later and said 'Ok I'm ready to go now if you are' Penelope turned her laptop off and stood up. 'I'm ready'.
Café
They got a table and sat down. They talked and flirted until the waiter came to their table.
'Good morning both of you. How are you Derek? You must be Penelope, nice to meet you! I'm Anna' she said when she saw her surprised look and nodded her head. She shook hands with Penelope and smiled nicely at her.
'I am very well thank you Anna, how is Robbo and Luke?' Derek smiled brightly and looked at Penelope. 'I see he finally told you? Yea Robbo is ok and Luke is fine too he is growing so much now he was six in March.' Penelope turned bright red and looked shocked.
'Baby girl its ok I've known her for a long time she has a cute son called Luke and a husband called Robbo.' Derek told Penelope a little amused. Penelope nodded 'nice to meet you Anna.'
Anna nodded and then said 'Anyway what would you like to eat because I know what you both like.' Penelope was about to say something when Anna said 'don't worry Derek has told me what you like. Whenever he comes in he tells me something new about you.' Penelope nodded and said "oh".
'We would like chocolate chip pancakes please.' Derek smiled when he saw Penelope's smile brighten. Anna nodded and left with their order.
'Baby that was Anna she is a family friend of ours we have known each other for a very long time she is one of Des' old friends. She has a little kid who is so funny he has dark hair just like Anna. They are really nice.' Derek explained when he saw Penelope's confused face.
'Oh that's nice, she seems like a nice person.' Penelope nodded and smiled.
They're breakfast and coffee came and they ate and talked about nothing, everything and anything. After breakfast they went for a walk around the park.
'I love this park, well I love any park you know seeing all the children running around playing with their friends they all seem so happy. It's nice to see with all the bad things that we see everyday, its nice to know that at least not everyone is bad and families can be complete and happy. I mean all families have problems but in the end they always sort it out, well most of them because some of them don't even get a chance to sort it out before some sick person, who is ill, gets to kill them.' Penelope told Derek as they sat on the bench.
Derek kissed her and said 'I know what you mean but we are the ones that help put them bastards away so then at least they have a little peace knowing who killed them. No family is ever going to be perfect, but as long as they know that they love each other than it should be ok and when they are ready they will say sorry and move past it.'
'Yea I know you're right. But what if when they are ready to say sorry they are already dead. It must be so hard for them to know that they never got to say sorry to them.' Penelope replied she knew Derek was right.
'Yea it must be hard for them if they never got the chance to say sorry and I love you to them but they know before they go that they are both sorry and they still love each other more than anything.' Derek told her and whispered 'I love you'
She smiled at him and said ' you're right. I love you too baby' she kissed him quickly then they both left the park to go back to the car to go to the movie shop to rent a movie.
Once at home they got popcorn, sweets, chocolate and drinks to have whilst they watch the movie.
Penelope sat on the sofa waiting for Derek so she could start the movie. She chose to watch 27 dresses because she loved the movie and Derek said that he liked the movie a bit. She decided to put the popcorn, sweets and chocolate on the table and then went to get the drink for Derek. She decided that she wanted coke instead.
'Baby where are you. I'm waiting.' Penelope called Derek.
Derek came round the corner and grinned 'sorry I was a little hot so I had to change.'
Penelope laughed as Derek sat down next to her. She looked at him and kissed him gently. When they parted she pressed play on the movie.
Penelope rested her head on Derek's chest and listened to his heartbeat whilst watching the movie. Derek moved his hand up and down Penelope's arm and before halfway through the movie she fell asleep. Derek noticed and put a blanket over Penelope to keep her warm. He turned the movie off and closed his eyes and soon after fell asleep too.
Penelope woke up to go to the bathroom and noticed there was a blanket on her, the T.V was of and Derek was asleep. She smiled and went to the bathroom. When she came back she saw Derek was still asleep and started to make lunch.
She decided to go out and get some ingredients for lunch. She wrote Derek a note. 'Baby don't worry about me I have just gone out to the shop quickly and I will be back soon love you xxx BG'
She drove to the shop to get some more coke, wine and beer for Derek. She got the ingredients she needed and went back home. When she got home she saw Derek was up and watching some sport on T.V. When he saw her he immediately got up to help her and put their things away. She went back to the car to get the bag with the ingredients for lunch. She came back in and got the things out and started making the chicken salad she thought they could have for a light lunch. 'Do you want some help with anything baby girl?'
She turned around and said 'you can start by giving me a kiss' Derek grinned and kissed her passionately. 'Anything else you want me to do?' she nodded and said 'I want a hug as well and then you can get a bowl and a knife please.' She asked with puppy dog eyes. Derek grinned and said 'of course I can do that. Anything for you sweetness.' He gave her a hug and then went to get the bowl and knife for her. 'What next?' he asked her when he had done his easy tasks she had set him.
She frowned and thought of something he could do. 'aah can you cut the peppers for me please?' he smiled and nodded 'yup I can do that for you. All of them?' she shook her head and said 'no maybe just 3 and can you cut the tomatoes for me' he nodded his head and said 'I will' then Derek left the room. She was so confused 'he just said that he will and then he leaves?' she shook her head and carried on cutting the cucumbers.
He came back a minute later with his iPod and pressed play. She laughed when she heard what song was playing. 'Baby you actually like this song?' he put his hands up in mock surrender and said 'Its catchy you can't tell me that it's not catchy it's a bit annoying once you've listened to it a lot but it's still a good song.' She laughed and said 'ok Katy Perry's Peacock its catchy but it doesn't mean it's a good song. It doesn't mean I don't like the song because I do. I was just surprised that you liked it.' Derek laughed and shook his head whilst cutting the peppers.
