Dance Of Love-Ch 38
Derek and Penelope pulled up into the parking lot of the recital hall, he took her hand in his and gently squeezed it and said, "are you ready beautiful"?, she blew out a deep breath and said, "as ready as I'm ever gonna be handsome". He brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it and said, "I love you", she winked at him and said, "and I love you".
He got out of the truck and walked around to the passengers side and opened her door, he then held his hand out and smiled happily as she slid her hand in his as she got out and closed the door. As they made their way across the parking lot she felt her heart starting to race, Derek looked at her and said, "are you alright"?, she said, "nervous hotstuff, very nervous".
They stopped walking and he said, "you've got nothing to be nervous about, you're going to do great in there", she smiled and said, "do you really think so"?, he took a breath and said, "I do, we are gonna rock this tango". She laughed and said, "5 minutes to showtime we better get in there", he nodded his head yes in agreement as they headed inside to join the rest of the class.
The recital started with the mambo and they watched as their friends danced, Derek leaned in and said, "they're doing great", she nodded her head and said, "they are totally rocking it". The newlyweds then watched as the class completed dance after dance until it was finally the last dance of the night, Derek intertwined fingers with his wife as their names were called and he led her to the center of the dance floor.
They listened as the the teacher said, "I love teaching and when a dance team comes along that has such chemistry, such passion, it makes the class so much more enjoyable for everybody". She then continued by saying, "here are two more students that exude chemistry and passion, here they are doing the tango Mr. and Mrs. Derek Morgan aka Derek Morgan and the former Penelope Garcia Morgan".
The sound of hands clapping and whistles filled the room as their music started, everybody watched as Derek and Penelope moved perfectly together, they were totally in sync as they danced their way across the floor. Fran smiled as she watched her son and daughter in law as their bodies moved together to the beat of the amazing music.
Sarah whispered, "they are wonderful", Desi said, "I didn't know he could dance like that", JJ said, "neither did we, they are so good together", Reid leaned down and kissed his wife on the neck and said, "they are moving perfectly together, it's hard to believe that they haven't been dancing like that for years", she said, "I couldn't have said it better Spence" as they continued watching their friends performance.
Penelope practically melted in her husbands arms as they ended their dance with the dip, the room filled with thunderous applause as he raised her back up and kissed her lips. When they pulled apart they bowed several times before heading off the stage only to come back once again with the rest of the class for one final bow before the recital ended.
Their family couldn't wait to head backstage to congratulate them, Penelope was all smiles when she saw Jack and Henry carrying flowers for her, Jack handed her the flowers he was carrying and said, "that was awesome aunt P". She kissed the little boys face and said, "thank you Jackers", Henry then handed her his flowers and said,
"dat was coollllllll".
She laughed and said, "thank you buttercup", everybody was then telling the happy couple what an amazing job that did, she smiled as she hugged everybody, Derek was all smiles as he wrapped his arm around his mom and kissed her cheek. Fran said, "you two were so good", they both said, "thank you" in unison as Dave said, "okay it's time for us to head out for a celebratory dinner".
Penelope grinned and said, "sounds good to me, what about you handsome"?, he rubbed his stomach and said, "sounds good, we haven't actually been eating alot for the past 2 days". Penelope blushed and said, "true", he wrapped his arm around her as they turned and followed their family out into the parking lot, Derek put her flowers in the seat and then helped her into the truck and said, "you were wonderful baby girl".
She giggled and said, "so were you, we were so amazing" causing him to smile, he said, "didn't I tell you that we would be okay"?, she nodded her head and said, "that you did" before pressing her lips against his in a soft and loving kiss.
