Sold-Ch 21
When Penelope woke up she saw Derek sitting beside her bed with his head laying down on her bed, she reached over and touched the top of his head and whispered, "I love you". Derek started moving around and then looked up and said, "I love you to".
He sighed and said, "did your session with Tonya help"?, she nodded her head and said, "I believe it did, I feel a little better". Derek said, "that's wonderful news and I've got some good news for you", she said, "I can always use good news".
Derek said, "do you remember me telling you that we took down the organization that sold you"?, she nodded her head and said, "I do". He said, "we were able to save your friend and her daughter", Penelope wiggled around painfully on the bed and said, "Shelly, you were able to save Shelly"?, he said, "we were baby girl, we were".
Penelope said, "and she had a daughter"?, Derek said, "she did and she's a beautiful little girl", Penelope said, "I'm glad that she's safe, that both her and her daughter are safe". Derek said, "when she found out that you had been found she contacted me".
Penelope said, "she did"?, Derek said, "yeah and she wants to bring her daughter and come visit you", she said, "I don't know if I can do that". Derek said, "she knew that and she told me to talk to you and if you could then she wanted to be here with you but if you couldn't she understood completely".
Derek said, "she named her daughter after you", Penelope said, "she did"?, Derek nodded his head and said, "she did, she named her little girl after the woman that she said literally saved her life". Penelope shook her head and said, "she's the one that saved me, she told me what I needed to know in order to survive".
Derek said, "would you like to see a picture of Shelly and Penelope"?, she wiped away a tear and said, "I would, yes please". Derek reached into his wallet and pulled out the picture and said, "here you go sweetness, here's the picture".
Penelope smiled when she saw how happy Shelly and here daughter were, she looked up when Derek said, "she delivered shortly after we saved her from the kidnapping ring". Derek said, "she also talked to her ex husband and he was glad that she was safe but he had moved on with his life", Penelope said, "awwww poor Shelly but I'm proud of her for at least talking to him".
Derek nodded his head and said, "me to sweetness, me to", she sighed as she looked down to her hands and said, "Derek I", he looked at her and said, "yes baby girl, you what"?, she said, "I missed you so so much, I missed feeling your arms wrapped around me, your kisses, making love to you, falling asleep in your arms and waking up the same way".
He said, "I missed that to', she felt her heart racing as she said, "while I was gone, did you everrrrrrr, you know'?, he said, "no mam I didn't, I never ever slept with another woman". Penelope said, "I wouldn't have blamed you if you did", he said, "you are my wife, the love of my life, the mother of my daughter and the only and I mean only woman for me".
Penelope smiled and said, "you always know what to say to make me feel better", he said, "good, I'm glad, after what you've been through goddess you deserve to feel better". She blew out a deep breath and said ,"everyday was pretty much the same, at least it was with Carl", Derek said, "you don't have to tell me if you're not ready".
She said, "I want to tell you, I need to tell you", he leaned forward and listened as she said, "the last time that he, that he forced himself on me was a lot rougher than most of the other times". Derek said, "what do you mean baby"?, she said, "well I was in the shower and he was in the other room, I was alone one minute and then the next he was sliding in behind me".
He felt his heart racing like it was going to burst right out of his chest as she said, "he pinned me against the wall and he m m made me beg him to rape me", Derek gritted his teeth and said, "that sick bastard". She said, "I shook my head no and he said, "I can have Derek killed any time I want to Penelope", she reached up and wiped away a tear and then she sadly looked up at him.
She said, "I did what I was told, when I was told, no matter how degrading it was or how sick it made me", Derek said, "baby you did what you had to do to survive and keep us alive, nobody blames you for anything, everything that happened is all on Carl". Penelope said, "but Derek to have to look that man in the eyes and beg him to have sex with me, I was so sick and he was so rough as he pounded into me".
Derek reached out to touch her hand and he was glad that she didn't pull away, she said, "when he was through with me I started spotting and he was afraid that I was going to miscarry again". He gently squeezed her hand and said, "is that why he took you out to, to get you and the baby checked"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes and I'm so glad that Des was out and saw us or else I'd still be in hell".
Derek said, "when she called me and told me she saw you I was so happy, so glad thinking that I was going to get you back", she said, "when I looked up and saw you on the other side of the window, I thought I was dreaming but when I felt your arms around me I felt like I was in heaven". She watched as he brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it and he whispered, "me to sweetness, me to".
They spent a few minutes in silence and she then said, "handsome, can you do me a favor"?, he said, "anything baby girl, just name it", she swallowed hard and said, "can you call Shelly and tell her that I would like to see her and her daughter"?, he smiled and said, "I'd love to baby girl, I'll go call her right now", she then watched as he stood up and pulled his cell out and walked across the room.
When he walked back over he said, "she was so excited, so glad that you wanted to see her", Penelope said, "is she coming"?, he nodded his head and said, "she is, her and her daughter will be here in about an hour". She sighed happily and the held out her hand to Derek who happily sat down beside her bed and intertwined their fingers while they sat and waited for Shelly and her little girl to show up.
