The Bachelorette-Ch 51

When Penelope stepped out of her room she felt arms wrapping around her waist, she glanced up to see Sam standing there, she said, "what are you doing"?, he started kissing the side of her neck and whispering, "I missed you". She said, "I was only gone for a few minutes", he said, "it doesn't matter, I missed you", she giggled as she started walking toward the stairs.

Sam caught up to her and said, "so when do we get to find out which 2 bachelors will be going with you tomorrow"?, she said, "I guess we will find out in the morning before time for us to leave, well so to speak". Sam laughed as they headed outside to join the others, JJ, Emily, Reid and Aaron were sitting on the side of the pool with their feet in the water and Derek was swimming around splashing watr everywhere.

When he saw Penelope standing beside the pool he said, "come in babyyyyyyyygirllllllllllll the water's great", she smiled and said, "I'm coming handsome", she then took her robe off and started walking down the steps into the water. Derek swam over to her and helped her into the water, Sam toed off his shoes and followed her out into the water.

He swam over to where the others were and started talking to Aaron but all the time he kept glancing over at Penelope and Derek, he couldnt' help but notice how the two of them acted together. It was like they were so comfortable together, comfortable the way lovers were and he couldn't help but wonder if she was putting out for any of the other bachelors and not him.

He watched as Derek leaned in and whispered something into her ear, she threw her head back and laughed and then wrapped her arms around his neck as they floated in the water. Reid said, "how about we go in the water, it's really hot and it will be a fast cool down"?, they all slid off the side of the pool and swam over to join Derek and Penelope.

The friends played in the pool for a while before Dave said, "alright everybody foods readyyyyy", they climed out and dried off before making their way over to join him at the table. The top of the tabe was covered with food and everything looked so good that nobody knew where to start, JJ said, "everything looks so good Dave",
he said, "thank you JJ" as everybody started digging in.

They had a great time, laughing, talking and swimming for the next several hours before everybody started heading in to get some sleep, the flight back from Mexico had worn them all out and they were ready for bed. Penelope smiled as Derek walked her to her door, he leaned in and kissed her cheek and said, "goodnight baby girl,
and sweet dreams".

she caressed his cheek and leaned in and pressed her lips againt his and when they pulled apart she said, "goodnight handsome and sweet dreams to you", he winked at her before heading on up the hall toward his room. She stepped into her room and closed the door, she looked down at her watch and saw that he daughter would still be up so she dialed Paytons number and after a few rings she heard, "mommaaaaaa".

Penelope smiled and said, "how are you princess"?, she said, "me fine", Penelope laughed and said, "mommy misses you Charlotte", she said, "me misseses you to momma,
when you tomin home"?, she said, "soon baby, I promise". Penelope said, "are you being good for uncle Payton and aunt Shelly"?, she said, "uh huh", she said, "that's my good girl".

The two talked for almot half an hour before the little girl started yawning, Penelope said, "mommy is gonna hang up so you can go to bed and get some sleep", she said,
"otay momma". Penelope grinned and said, "mommy loves you baby", the little girl giggled and said, "me lubs you to momma", she said, "sweet dreams", he laughed and said, "same to you Charlotte".

After the call ended she laid there on the bed and smiled while she thought of her daughter, she was in this to find a father for her daughter because she deserved that, she deserved the best father possible. She laid there for a few minutes and after she couldn't sleep she headed downstairs to get something to drink, as she stepped off the bottom of the stairs she heard something so she stopped and then recognized JJ's voice.

Reid was standing in the kitchen and JJ was reaching up into the cabinet to get a glass and she lost her footing and fell into Spencers arms, when Penenlope looked around the corner she saw JJ and Rein in each others arms. She turned around and headed back upstairs before anybody saw her, JJ said, "I I I'm sorry Spencer", he smiled and said, "don't be, I'm not" and as they stood there for a minute before he said, "have a good night JJ", she said, "you to Spencer" and she felt her heart racing as she watched him walk out of the room.

She collapsed against the cabinet and said, "he is so cute" as she poured herself a glass of juice and headed up to bed
