With A Little Help From My Son-Ch 7
Penelope was happily shopping for fresh fruit and veggies for the week when she heard, "excuse me", at first she ignored it but then she felt a finger tapping her on the shoulder. She turned around and said, "yes, may I help you"?, the woman said, "yes, yes you can".
She was taken back when the woman said, "stay away from my man", Penelope said, "excuse me"?, the woman said, "Derek is my fiancée and you need to stay away from him tramp". Penelope laughed and said, "I can assure you that Derek isn't your fiancée, he's a widower with an amazing little boy".
Jasmine said, "you don't know him, you just met him yesterday", Penelope said, "I like Derek and Hank, I like them a lot and unless they ask me to stay away, I'm not going to". Jasmines mouth flew open as Penelope grabbed some cherries and strawberries and walked away, leaving here standing there in shock.
She followed Penelope through the store throwing insults at her and finally when she'd had enough she turned to Jasmine and said, "listen Samantha". Jasmine said, "that's Jasmine", Penelope said, "whatever, get away from me or else".
Jasmine said, "or else what"?, Penelope pointed to the officer standing in the front of the store and said, "or else I'm gonna tell him that you're harassing me". Jasmies eyes got big as she glanced to the front of the store and then she said, "you wouldn't", Penelope smiled and said, "try me again and you will see".
Jasmine stood there and watched as Penelope paid for her things and headed out to her car, Penelope looked up and waved at Jasmine as she pulled out of the parking lot. Jasmine said, "this isn't over Penelope, not by a long shot" as she climbed into her car and headed back toward the beach.
When Penelope got back to the beach house and put her food up she smiled as she headed out the door to join Derek and Hank on the beach. Derek looked up and smiled as he saw her walking toward him, she was so beautiful and the way her dress hugged her body made him want her even more.
Hank grinned, waved and said, "hiiiii Penelope", she said, "hi Hank", Clooney barked and she laughed, Derek walked over and said, "what took you so long, you were gone for a long time". Penelope said, "well I was harassed at the grocery store".
He said, "you were what"?, she said, "harassed", he said, "by who"?, she said, "don't worry about it, I took care of her". Derek said, "her, let me guess, Jasmine right"?, Penelope said, "yep, she called you her fiancée and told me to stay away from you and Hank".
Derek laughed and said, "I want nothing to do with her, you know that right"?, she winked at him and said, "yes, yes I do". He reached over and took her by the hand and said, "you ready to get into the water"?, she said, "my suit is under my dress".
He released her hand and felt his heart racing as she untied the dress and dropped it to the sand, he said, "woman you are gorgeous". She ran her finger up his chest and said, "you're not so bad yourself", Derek said, "you ready to get in the water Hank"?, he said, "nah, you two go ahead, me and Clooney are gonna play here on the sand for a while".
Penelope said, "you sure honey"?, he said, "positive but you and dad go and have some fun, we'll be alright, won't we Clooney"?, the dog barked and Hank said, "see told ya" causing Derek and Penelope to both laugh as they turned around and ran into the water.
