With A Little Help From My Son-Ch 5
As the sun set Penelope said, "that's so beautiful", Derek said, "the colors are so amazing", Hank said, "why don't you two go for a walk on the beach"?, Derek said, "what about it baby girl", Penelope said, "baby girl"?, Derek said, "I'm sorry I" and she quickly said, "I love it".
Derek stood up and held out his hand and she happily slid her hand in his, Hank said, "I'll clean up while you're gone dad". Derek said, "thanks buddy, we'll just be right up here if you need anything", he said, "I'll be fine dad I'm not a baby".
He said, "maybe not but you'll always be my baby", he smiled and said, "yeah, yeah" as he started clearing off the table. As Derek and Penelope stepped down onto the sand Penelope said, "he's a great kid", Derek said, "he is, he is".
Penelope felt her heart racing as Derek intertwined their fingers, he said, "Penelope I would like very much if we could spend more time together". Penelope smiled and said, "I'd like that very much", he said, "you would"?, she turned to face him and said, "I would, I definitely would".
Hank stood watching them and smiled, he could tell that his dad was falling for Penelope and it loved the idea, she was perfect for both his dad and him. As he turned around and headed back into the house with more dishes he heard a knock at the door.
He looked through the peep hole and rolled his eyes, he opened the door and said, "yeah"?, Jasmine said, "is your dad here"?, Hank smiled and said, "nope, he's walking up the beach with Penelope" and shut the door in her face.
She knocked on the door and he opened it and said, "yeah", he said, "would it be alright if I waited for him"?, Hank said, "I don't think so, I'm not suppose to let strangers into the house". She said, "I'm not a stranger though, we've met several times".
Hank said, "sorry but I can't, maybe try tomorrow" and shut the door, Jasmine said, "you little twit" and turned around and walked toward the beach. It didn't take her long before she saw Derek and the blond from earlier, Penelope.
She watched as they laughed and talked as they headed up the beach, she wanted to be the woman on his arm, he deserved perfection and from what she was seeing Penelope was far from perfection. Meanwhile on the beach Derek said, "soooooo would you like to maybe go swimming with us tomorrow"?, she said, "I'd love to".
He smiled and said, "tonight has been so much fun", she nodded her head and said, "I totally agree", they turned around and headed back toward her house. They stopped at her fence and he said, "thank you for coming for dinner tonight".
She sighed and said, "thanks for inviting me", he caressed her cheek and said, "I'd really like to kiss you", she felt her heart racing again and she said, "I'd like that to". Savannah watched as Derek leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers.
Hank was putting the dishes in the dishwasher and he glanced up and saw his dad and Penelope kissing, he said, "yessssssss". He then looked and saw Savannah and said, "that woman is going to be trouble", he then grinned as he watched Savannah turn around and walk the other way.
Penelope moaned against Dereks mouth causing him to smile, it had been a long time since he actually kissed a woman the way he was kissing Penelope. When they pulled apart she said, "good night handsome", he took a deep breath and said, "good night baby girl, see ya tomorrow".
Penelope nodded her head and said, "sweet dreams", he said, "no problems there", she said, "I know what you mean there". Derek cupped her face in his hands and said, "good night beautiful", she said, "good night angel fish" before their lips met again.
When they pulled apart this time he said, "I better get back to Hank but I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow", she said, "me to". As Derek started walking away she said, "can you please tell Hank good night for me"?, he said, "I will".
They kept waving and smiling at each other until Derek stepped back onto his patio, they then sighed as they both stepped into their houses and closed the doors.
