Derek watched Penelope as she pushed the food around her plate, they usually shared a healthy appetite of food, sharing as and when they could, telling one another where good restaurants were, what was good on a menu, having the same favourites. However this morning he was eating down their favourite breakfast while she'd taken a couple of bites and gave up.

"It's not gonna get eaten that way." He said forgetting about his breakfast and leaning a little.

"I guess I'm not that hungry." She said and looked up at him, a glint in her eye. "Not for this anyway."

He laughed at that. "Well we can blow this off and feed that hunger." He saw the doubt in her eyes. "I've dreamt of getting you how I want you baby girl, fantasies hurt because they're not real." He grabbed her hand. "You're real, your love is real, don't doubt that and don't ever doubt me."

"I just don't want this end us and Kevin to be right."

"Kevin isn't right." Derek enforced forcefully and Penelope could tell from the confidence in his voice. "We can wait, wait until Kevin's finally packed up and out the door for good, we can wait until you're fully ready, we can wait until you're back to you. But whatever happens I'll wait."

Penelope smiled and tilted her head some to look at him adoringly. "Hmm and what if I don't want to wait because I've been ready longer than even I thought?"

"You quite cute when you're making up logic." Derek commented and pushed his plate completely out of the way and leant across the table. "Well if that is the case baby girl, then how can I fall behind in a race?"

"Oh, we're in a race now are we handsome?" She asked smiling at him teasingly. "Does that mean I call the rules as I make them?"

Derek scrunched his nose at that and looked down before catching her eye contact again. "Na uh baby girl, I've been saving this moment and I'm going to show you what's been waiting around for a very, very long time." He watched her gulp at that statement. "I'm going to show you for the rest of your baby girl life just how short Kevin Lynch was coming in making you the happiest woman this world has ever seen." Penelope's mind drew in the certainty of his voice and she could feel her yearn for him escalate ever more. "I'm gonna make you touch the stars baby, and I'm gonna make..."

Penelope pushed her index finger to his lips to stop him. "You've sweet talked your way enough hot stuff." She said as she leant forward. "Don't be all talk." Derek winked at her and then took her finger in his mouth before sucking on it and pulling away.

"I'll show you talk in practice." He told her, his eyes brightening predatorily, he could feel the hard on he had and he could see how uncomfortable Penelope was getting at sitting and procrastinating. "Let's start this. I want my life with my baby girl to start properly from here on out."

"Why you still sitting around then sugar?" She asked him back and he laughed and threw money down on the table before sliding out of the booth, taking her hand and leaving.

Marie watching them as they went, she smiled at the sight that left and she knew she'd have to share with the others that were familiar with Derek Morgan and Penelope Garcia's usual table manners.

"What if Kevin comes back?" Penelope fretted the moment their feet hit the gravel outside the diner. "He's gonna come back. He's done it before."

Derek felt his heart bottom in that instance. "Done it before?" He asked a little grief stricken.

"This isn't the first time me and Kevin have broken up, but for once I'm gonna be the stronger one and keep it that way." Penelope told him and she could read him like an open book so she turned and took his hand because right in that moment she meant business. "I don't need to keep fighting for happiness with him because it is never gonna happen Handsome. I just need to know that'll your fight to help me get the happiness."

Derek let out a low growl then, a sensual noise not an angry one. "For the rest of my life."

"Says it all... Meet at mine?"

"I always did wonder what making love behind those beads would be like." He watched Penelope's cheeks flush with colour. "I'm not kidding P, you wanna wait, I'll wait but one way or the other you will be mine."

"Just meet me at mine you chocolate God you."

"Already half way there." He said and he took her in his arms again, showing his power, he then captured her lips and kissed her fiercely, again the dizziness returned as he put her back and her feet began to touch down on the ground again. He then put her in her car with one final kiss and she waited for him to follow her back to hers.

Penelope parked up and got out; she got her bag and locked the car. "Penny." Her voice being called made her jump and she looked up to see Kevin there, slowly approaching her, anxiety radiating from him in pulsating vibes. "I'm sorry."

"I can't forgive and forget any more Kevin." She admitted truthfully, she knew Derek was a little further behind, he got caught in a red light and she'd had to keep going.

"I'm not expecting you to, I just, I love you too much to let last night ruin us."

"Last night didn't ruin us Kevin." Kevin's face lit up a little at that. "We ruined us a long time ago and we've been biding our time with this." Penelope was hoping that Derek would've gotten there by now, been her excuse to finish this but little did she know he was waiting for his perfect opportunity to crash Kevin's attempt at winning Penelope back.

"I was wrong, completely out of line."

"Kevin I really can't keep us going, I'm losing myself in it and I've got to make myself a priority. That and what makes me happy."

"Your family right?"

Yeah."

"And Morgan... he makes you happier." Kevin told her and his tone became heated at the topic that they'd gotten onto. "You run to him last night? He allow you to cry to him like he cries to you or is all still pretty much one sided?"

"Don't you dare..."

"I just wanna know Penelope; you spend so much of your time catering for everyone else's needs, needs that never get repaid, don't you ever wonder your place in their lives? And you gave up the fight for us last night because of Morgan."

"I gave up the fight of us because you, not Morgan, or the team but because of you and your attitude."

"Well I might as well reiterate what I told you. I hope you're happy throwing your life away for a man that'll never love a woman like you." He didn't take notice of Penelope's fallen expression, the pain that built in her eyes. "I mean, stick thin model types that can bump 'n' grind just like he does. One's that would fuck him dry and leave him the next morning. That's not you Penelope."

Derek turned around the corner then, he hadn't liked the way that conversation was given and Penelope's silence told him even more than he heard that Kevin was out of line. "Hey Lynch." Derek said casually as he walked up the drive in the parking lot, he felt anger flare in him at Penelope's down trodden posture that had been nowhere near that when he left her with a kiss earlier. He saw Kevin shift his weight, nerves doubling up. "You're right Penelope's not my normal type. She's my perfect type." He said and ran his hands around Penelope's waist, pulling her closer to him. "She's got curves, a smile, live wire eyes, and personality to fit it all together. I definitely won't be leaving her the next morning or the morning after that or the morning after that or the morning after in 40 years to come."

"You're all talk." Kevin blurted out trying to think of come backs.

"Hmm that's what you think." Derek said and turned Penelope in his arms, he could see the seed of doubt and he smirked. "Baby girl." He said and Penelope looked up just as Derek put a hand in her hand and took her lips with his and deepened the kiss, this time he didn't let up, he gave it as good as he could then.

Kevin stood on the sidelines and watched, he'd never ever kissed Penelope like, not because he didn't want to but because he didn't know how to and he supposed he would've known instinctively had Penelope been his girl that he'd make a life with. He didn't waste his time after that. "Post my stuff Penelope; I'll do the same with your things." He then stomped off and got into his car and drove off like a true loser.

Derek pulled away once he heard the car disappear and he smiled as Penelope's lips remained still posed ready for a kiss and her eyes stayed closed, after a couple of seconds she opened them and her lips pursed together and she looked up at him. "I'd do that again."

Penelope smiled again and felt equal satisfaction. "I think I would too hot stuff." She agreed and looked around the parking lot. "I don't think I'll ever regret giving up my life for you."

"I could say the same for your baby girl but I suppose I've never truly stopped my life to help you out as often as you do for me."

"Now is enough." She told him truthfully. "I just think I need the proof to back up that I haven't completely lost my mind with trusting you with my heart my chocolate hunk of love."

"Well let's go up and make that perfect blend of chocolate and vanilla and allow me to make you release that you trusting me with your heart was the best deal you could've done." He said and stole a kiss before proceeding to take her towards the door to go upstairs.

It was as Penelope was pushed onto her bed and Derek ravished her with kissed and began to make love that she knew she had never truly known love until that day and she had the rest of her life to bask in it and that would be what she would do.
