It's All Coming Back To Me-Ch 5
Penelope sighed as she laid her head down on Tads shoulder, she was really enjoying her evening, she loved spending time with Tad and he really seemed to care about her. She looked up at him and he leaned down and gently kissed her lips, she lowly moaned as he deepened the kiss by thrusting his tongue inside her mouth.
He needed to be careful because he could easily fall in love with her, as they pulled apart he smiled and said, "you're beautiful", she blushed and said, "thank you". He then glanced over and saw Celeste bringing their food over and he said, "I know you're starving so how about we head over to the table"?, she nodded her head and said, "sounds good".
As they ate their lunch he couldn't keep his eyes off of her, she was beautiful, smart, kind, loving and again he warned himself, "be careful Tad because you could easily fall in love with this woman". He took a sip of his wine and said, "sooo how are things going with your memory are your talks with Derek and your team helping"?, she said, "no memory flashes or anything yet but it feels good to be with people that know me".
He nodded his head and said, "I bet it is", they then sat and laughed and talked while they ate their lunch and when they were finished he noticed her yawning. He said, "alright missy it's time to get you back to you place so you can get some rest", she nodded her head and said, "I didn't realize how much that hospital stay took out of me".
Tad stood up and paid for their food and the put his hand on the small of her back as they headed back out the door, when they got in the car and pulled away from the curb he said, "and JJ's coming over and bringing Henry so I'll know you're in good hands". She smiled and then turned her head and looked at the scenery as it passed by.
When they pulled up in front of her apartment he got out and walked her to her door, from the hall they could hear Henry cackling and he touched her cheek and said, "have fun". She said, "thanks for lunch, it was wonderful", he said, "no need to thank me, I loved spending time with my girl", she grinned and said, "I liked it to".
He cupped her face in his hands and leaned in and kissed her lips gently at first and then he deepened the kiss and his hands slid down her body and rested right above her butt. Penelope felt her heart racing, she loved his lips on hers but something told her that he wasn't the man she wanted, something told her that she wanted her best friend Derek Morgan.
As they pulled apart he said, "can I call you tomorrow"?, she said, "please do", he kissed her lips gently again and said, "later beautiful", she waved and said, "later" as she watched him walk away. She then opened her door and stepped inside to the smiling face of JJ who said, "sounded like you had a nice time with Tad".
Penelope said, "I did", Henry wrapped his arms around her legs and said, "I wub you", Penelope smiled down at the little boy and said, "I love you to little man". Henry giggled and ran across the room, JJ said, "soooo Garcie", Penelope said, "soooo Jayje", JJ said, "you just called me Jayje", Penelope said, "I did, ohhhh that's wonderful" as the two friends hugged.
Penelope grinned and wondered if this was the first step to getting her memories back for good
