Survival-Ch 8
The team made their way over and started hugging her, everybody that is except Derek, she watched with tears in her eyes as he walked by her and ran out of the room. Reid started to go after him and she said, "let me go Spencer" and the watched as he took off after Derek, she knew where he was going,
it was the same place he always went to when he was angry, the roof.
While Penelope was gone after Derek Strauss and Hotch were filling the team in on the case, Derek walked out onto the roof and over to the edge of the building and took a deep breath. He loved her and for the past 7 months he thought she was dead and now and now she's back and instead of pulling her into his arms and kissing her he runs off mad.
He runs his hand over his head and closes his eyes as memories of him seeing her dead in the morgue came back to his mind, he was deep in thought until he heard Penelope say, "hotstuff, please look at me". He turned around and she said, "I know that you must be hurt but I swear to you that for the first couple of months I didn't know what was going on, I was in a coma for that time and when I woke up I was alone in a room somewhere in London".
He said, "why didn't you call me, why"?, she said, "I didn't want to put you in danger", he slowly reached out and touched her face, when she felt his hands on her face she closed her eyes and said, "I've missed you so much Derek". He pulled her closer to where their lips were almost touching and he whispered, "open your eyes sweetness".
She opened her eyes and saw Dereks lips hovering over hers and before she could say another word his lips captured hers in a soft, gentle kiss, her arms wrapped around him and held him close. When he heard her moan he deepened the kiss, their tongues battled for control for several minutes before they pulled apart gasping for air.
Derek rested his forehead against hers and said, "are you really here"?, she smiled and said, "I'm really here handsome and I'm not going anywhere, I promise". He closed his eyes and enjoyed the smell of her shampoo as it filled his nostrils, he touched her soft hair and said, "do you know how many times I've dreamed this since you died"?, she said, "I can't imagine what you all went through but it wasnt' easy for me either, you lost 1 friend but Derek I lost 6".
He said, "I saw you baby girl, you were dead", she said, "Strauss told me that I was given a drug and that drug made it look like I wasn't breathing,
it made me look dead". She said, "you have no idea how many times I wanted to call you and my brothers, oh my god my brothers", he said, "don't worry goddess we can call them from my place tonight".
She said, "your place, why your place"?, he said, "after you died your place was rented out but I put all of your things into storage", she smiled and said, "thank you for doing that for me, you are a great friend". He put his finger under her chin and pulled it up and said, "is that all I am baby girl, your friend"?, she said, "what are you saying Derek"?, he caressed her cheek with his finger and said, "there is something that we need to talk about".
She looked at him and said, "what's that"?, he opened his mouth to speak and they looked over their shoulder when Dave cleared his throat, Penelope smiled and said, "hello my italian stallion". He smiled and said, "sorry to interrupt the two of you but we need you in your lair", she smiled and said,
"my lair, ohhhhhhhh how I've missed that".
Dave grinned and said, "I'll see the two of you down there", they nodded their heads and Penelope said, "we'll be right there", he grinned and shook his head as he headed back inside the building. She turned and looked at Derek again and he said, "how about we continue this conversation tonight at my place"?, she nodded her head and said, "sounds like a plan handsome, that is if we actually get to leave".
Derek cupped her face in his hands and said, "ohhhhhhh we will, we will", they both sighed happily as they intertwined fingers and headed back inside to join the rest of the team.
