Christmas Wooing Morgan Style-Ch 14
The next morning came too fast and soon everybody was walking back off of the elevator and heading to do their paperwork, well everybody but Penelope who was pulled instantly into searches for both B and C teams. A couple of hours later she was standing in the kitchenette when Derek walked over and said, "morning sweetness, how's things going for you"?, she said, "busy, I'm working on things for B and C teams, what about you sugar"?, he said, "working on finishing my paperwork so hopefully at 5 I am out of here".
Penelope said, "sounds like you've got plans"?, he leaned in and said, "oh I do, I have a goddess coming over tonight", Penelope said, "ohhhh do tell, do tell", he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said, "yeah me and this amazing woman are going to watch movies and pig out on pizza on my huge, comfortable sofa".
She said, "that sounds like a nice night", he said, "it does doesn't it"?, she nodded her head yes and said, "it sure does my vision", they were then pulled from their conversation as Anderson walked over to them with a box in his hands. Penelope said, "what can we do for you Anderson"?, he said, "I have a package for you Penelope" as he handed the box over to her.
Derek said, "thanks man", Anderson nodded his head and said, "sure, no problem" before turning around and walking away, Penelope said, "I wonder what my admirer sent me today"?, Derek said, "why don't you open the box so we can see"?, she winked at him and said, "patience is a virtue my love".
Derek said, "yeah a virtue that neither of us have sweetness" and she laughed and said, "so true handsome, so true" as she ripped the box open and they both peered down at the contents. Penelope said, "yessssssss", Derek said, "movies, he sent you movies"?, Penelope said, "not just movies but my favorite Christmas movies".
Penelope said, "sug is their any way that we can watch a few of these tonight"?, Derek kissed her temple and said, "sure baby", she sighed and said, "well I'm going to get back to work, catch ya later". Derek said, "freeze momma", she turned and said, "what's up"?, Derek said, "I'm curious about something".
She said, "you are, what's that"?, he said, "what's on the card"?, she said, "ohhhhh that", he said, "yeah that, I want to know what the card says, well unless you don't want me to know that is". She put the box down and said, "hang on a sec and I'll tell you handsome" as she reached into the box and pulled out the card.
Penelope sighed as she read, "ON THE TENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME 10 CHRISTMAS CLASSICS FOR THE CLASSIEST WOMAN I KNOW, LOVE YOUR SECRET ADMIRER". Penelope said, "awwww isn't that sweet, he thinks I'm classy", Derek said, "well he's right, you are the classiest, sexiest and smartest oracle I know".
Penelope kissed his cheek and said, "I'm the only oracle you know", Derek said, "true but", Penelope winked at him and said, "barring no case what time do you want me and the movies at your place"?, Derek said, "how does 7 sound"?, she giggled and said, "7 it is Adonis, 7 it is" and he grinned as he watched her turn and walk about with her box of movies in her hand.
Thankfully the team wasn't called away on a case so at 7 on the dot Penelope was knocking on Dereks door, he walked over and opened the door and said, "come in goddess, come in" as he stepped back so she could come inside. She said, "are you ready for a night of movies, pizza and the all seeing all knowing oracle"?, Derek said, "I am baby, I so am" as he led her over to the couch where the pizza and drinks were already waiting on them.
Penelope said, "what do you want to watch first"?, Derek said, "tonight the movie choices are in your hands sweetness, whatever you wanna watch we'll watch", she said, "are you trying to get fresh with me agent Morgan"?, he winked at her and said, "is it working"?, she said, "you know it" and they both laughed as she got up and put the first movie in and then sat back down beside him.
A couple of hours later she glanced over at him and smiled as she found him peacefully sleeping, she sighed and whispered, "I'm thinking that Kevin is my admirer but in a perfect world it would be you handsome, you would be the man sweeping me off of my feet". She sighed and then turned her attention back to the movie, what she didn't know was that Derek wasn't asleep and that he had heard every word she had said to him.
Later that night Derek woke up and saw that Penelope was sleeping comfortably with her head on his chest, he wrapped his arms around her and laid them both down gently on his couch as not to wake her. She was turned with her face to him so he gently kissed her forehead and whispered, "good night goddess, I love you" before closing his eyes and joining her in sleep.
