"What Baby Girl, you didn't think I thought about those things? You should know me better than that."

"I do Derek; I just never thought you would think things like that about me."

I still do not get that Princess, but come on lunch is about ready," he said taking her hand and leading her into the kitchen. He pulled out the chair for her and pushed it in when she sat down and went to work getting their plates fixed. He sat down and looked up at her. She was smiling. "What Princess, did I forget something?"

"No, I was just thinking just how special you really are my love and how I can't believe you would go to all this trouble just for me."

"Well, the way I see it, you spend countless hours doing things for not just me and the team, but for complete strangers, that you deserved a few days of spoiling and I want to be the one doing it."

They ate in silence for several minutes afterward he cleaned up the table and put the food away and Pen just sat there watching and waiting.

"Okay, Baby Girl, what has got you so quiet over there," he said as he turned around and faced her. "You are usually babbling a mile a minute."

"I was thinking how much I missed just you and me being together, talking, enjoying a meal together, just the two of us. How I almost lost my best friend over a guy."

"Pen, that is not true."

Oh really Hot Stuff? Do you realize the last two weeks is the most time we spent together since I started dating Kevin? You had stopped flirting with me all together and you stop asking me to lunch."

"I did that out of respect for your relationship Pen. The few times I flirted with you in front of Kevin, he looked upset so I tried to back off a bit."

"Did you ask me what I wanted?"

"No, I didn't. I am sorry. I should have."

"I am sorry I let you. I have mss you so much Derek," she said as she walked over and placed her arms round him. He placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Baby Girl, I missed you too," he took her hand in his and led her to the couch. He pulled her down on his lap as he sat. She smiled down at him.

So, Derek?" He saw the glint in her eye as she looked down at him and knew it was getting to the point where she was going to stop taking no for an answer, but he also knew they needed food.

"Yes, Baby Girl," he smiled knowing what was coming next.

"Just how much did you miss me," Pen asked before she started nibbling on his ear.

"Enough to know if you don't stop we will never make it to the store and that means no dinner."

"But I don't wanna," murmured as she tugged at the hem of his t-shirt. He stilled her hands and pushed her away slightly.

"Penelope, I need you to stop, really, honey or this is going to be an uncomfortable and embarrassing trip to the store."

"Do we really have to go?" He could see her bottom lip sticking out and he knew she was pouting.

"Miss Garcia….Can you live without coffee in the morning, if so I will gladly stay here and continue, if not get your sweet little ass off my lap and head for the truck."
