With A Little Help From My Son-Ch 6
The next morning Derek and Hank were eating breakfast when Hank looked at his dad and said, "ohhh dad last night while you were out walking with Penelope you had a visitor". He said, "visitor, who"?, he said, "Jasmine stopped by and wanted to see you".
Derek said, "you didn't let her in this house did you"?, he said, "nope, sure didn't", Derek smiled and said, "good boy Hank, good boy". Clooney barked from the other room and Derek said, "we need to get him out and let him run and play today".
Hank nodded his head and said, "I will dad, I will", Derek took another sip of his coffee and said, "soooo, last night was fun wasn't it"?, Hank said, "it was, I loved getting to know Penelope". Derek said, "you really like her don't you"?, Hank said, "I really do dad, she's a good fit with us".
Derek said, "I have to agree with you there", Hank said, "and dad", Derek said, "yeah buddy"?, the little boy said, "no offense but Jasmine, I, I don't like her, she's creepy". Derek said, "creepy how"?, Hank said, "last night when you and Penelope were kissing she was watching you".
He looked at his son and said, "sounds like you were watching us to", Hank said, "I wasn't purposely watching you, I was putting the dishes in the dishwasher and saw you". Derek said, "I believe you buddy, I believe you".
Hank said, "I just really really don't like her, it's like she's being nice to me in order to get close to you", Derek put his hands on his sons shoulder and said, "I have no interest at all in her". Hank finished his juice and said, "good dad, good" as he got up and ran into the other room to grab Clooney.
As Derek turned the dishwasher on he smiled as he watched Hank and Clooney in the back yard playing, his eyes then looked up at Penelopes house and he grinned as he saw her waving at him. He waved back and then grabbed his coffee and headed outside.
Hank and Clooney were playing Frisbee when he noticed his dad and Penelope talking, he said, "hey boy, see that blonde with dad"?, Clooney barked, almost like he knew what the boy was saying. Hank said, "if things go the way I want them to she's gonna be our new mom" causing Clooney to wag his tail as Hank threw the Frisbee again.
Penelope smiled at Derek and said, "morning handsome, how did you sleep"?, he said, "morning gorgeous, I slept great, what about you"?, she said, "me to, I have wonderful dreams". Derek said, "same here sweetness, same here" as he intertwined their fingers.
She said, "sooooo are we still on for later"?, he said, "definitely", she said, "well I've got to go shopping and grab some groceries but I'll be right out when I get back". He brought her hand to his lips and kissed it and said, "sounds like a plan sweetness".
She winked at him and said, "later angel fish", he said, "count on it goddess" as he watched her turn around and walk back inside the house.
