Love Is Blind-Ch 14
Penelope sighed happily as she woke up early the next morning, she was sore but ohhhhhhh was it worth it, her night with Derek was amazing and right now she was so happy maybe a little to happy and now she was afraid that the bottom would fall out leaving her alone. The feel of Dereks warm skin against hers and the smell of his cologne was bringing back the wonderful memories of the night before.
She couldn't help but smile when Derek kissed the top of her head and said, "good mornin goddess, how are you feeling"?, she laughed and said, "sore handsome but so so happy". He grinned and said, "that's good baby girl, that's all I want for you", she laughed and said, "you want me sore"?, he laughed and said, "no silly girl I want you happy".
Penelope ran her hand across his chest and said, "the only thing that could possibly make it more perfect would be me getting my sight back", he ran his hand up and down her back and said, "I know sweetness I know but what happens if you don't get your sight back, I don't want to hurt you but there is that chance that your vision won't come back".
She nodded her head and said, "I honestly don't know handsome, I mean I'm a very independent and stubborn woman so this isn't gonna keep me down, I will bounce back there are lots of things I can do". He wrapped his arms tighter around her and said, "oh yeah like what"?, she kissed his chest and said, "well I can learn braille, I can put reading programs onto my computers at home and at work, I will learn how to cook without being able to see and I can get a guide dog".
He sighed happily and said, "I want you to know that I will be here to help you through this", she grinned and said, "I know handsome, I know", it was a few minutes and the room was quiet, Derek said, "baby what's wrong"?, she said, "nothing handsome nothing". Derek said, "goddess you can't lie to me, I can tell that something is bothering you so spill it".
She said, "if I don't get my sight back is that gonna scare you away"?, he instantly said, "no baby, nothing is gonna scare me away, you are the woman I want to be with, you are the woman that I'm falling in love with". She felt like her heart was going to burst from her chest and fly across the room she was so happy.
Penelope said, "wh wh what did you just say"?, he laughed and said, "I said I'm falling in love with you", she raised her head up and smiled as he caressed the side of her face. She said, "I'm falling in love with you to handsome, I've never felt like this before, not ever and I am so glad that you feel the same as I do".
He slid his hand down her back and slid it over her ass and said, "I think I started falling for you the minute I saw you", she grinned and said, "well I have to admit you were gorgeous". He swatted her ass and said, "was gorgeous, what am I now chopped liver"?, she laughed and said, "no, now you are mine where before you weren't".
He slid his hand back up her body and rolled her over onto her side and crashed his lips to hers, they reluctantly pulled apart when they heard his cell ringing. He rolled over and got his cell off the table and said, "it's work baby, I gotta take this", she kissed his lips and said, "it's fine handsome".
Derek smiled and said, "Morgan", all Penelope heard was a few yes's and a but I am suppose to be off for the next few days and then she heard him say alright alright I'll be right there but you owe me man, you owe me big because my girl just came home from the hospital yesterday". She smiled at hearing Derek call her his girl, those were two words that she owuld never tire of being called.
After ending the call Derek said, "baby I gotta go in and cover for Mark he had a family emergency", she said, "I hope that everything is going to be alright". He caressed the side of her face and said, "me to baby, me to", he looked down at her and said, "how about I help you down the stairs and get you comfy on the couch before I leave"?, she kissed his lips and said, "you don't have to handsome".
He grinned and said, "I know I don't have to silly girl but I want to", she said, "alright handsome and you don't have to worry because when we came in yesterday I measured off the distances so I can get around in the house with no problems". He nodded his head and said, "you are amazing sweetness", she then put one of his shirts on and a pair of her pajama bottoms and together they made their way down the stairs.
Before he left to go to work, he fixed her some breakfast and helped her get comfy on the couch before kissing her lips and saying, "baby I will call JJ or Emily for you if you want"?, she caressed the side of his face and sai"I'll be fine handsome I think I will just lay here and maybe take a little nap somebody wore me out lastnight".
He grinned and said, "alright sweetness, you nap and we will talk in a little while", she nodded her head and said, "that we will handsome, that we will. Penelope said, "be careful handsome", he kissed the top of her head and said, "always sweetness, always". he then reluctantly walked to the door and Penelope sighed when she heard the door shut and lock from the other side".
A few minutes later she didn't realize that she had fallen asleep until there was a knock at the door, she made her way to the door and when she was getting ready to ask who it was she heard a soft voice say, "it's me my love Savannah". Her heart shattered when as she stood there trying to figure out just who the hell Savannah was".
