When we got back to JJ's place we both ran inside. We sat on the couch and she looked at me.
"What?" I asked.
"You know what." She replied.
I smiled. "No."
She raised her eyebrows. "You and Derek?"
I smiled again. "What about us?" She stood and walked over to me.
"He kissed you goodnight." I shook my head.
"Yeah, and it was amazing. I told her. She rolled her eyes and we walked upstairs to get ready for bed. The next morning we both walked downstairs and ate breakfast then there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." JJ said. She walked out of the kitchen and I sat there on my phone until she walked back into the kitchen with someone else behind her.
I looked up and Derek was standing in the doorway. "I'll give you guys some privacy." She said before walking out of the room.
He came and sat across from me at the kitchen table. "Hey sunshine!" He exclaimed.
"Hey Derek." I replied.
"Uh, Penelope." I looked up.
"Yes." I said.
"I uh, well, I was wondering if, maybe, you'd like to go out with me tonight?" He asked me. I could tell he was really nervous to ask me. I gave him an assuring smile and nodded my head.
"Yeah, Derek, I would like that." I responded.
"So, I'll pick you up at eight then?" He asked in a questioning statement I nodded my head. He stood up and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Well baby girl, I'm going to go. I'll see you tonight." I smiled and nodded my head. After I heard the front door shut JJ ran into the kitchen.
"Sooooooo, what happened?" She asked.
"Well, Derek just asked me on a date." I said smiling.
"Come on, Garcie." She said pulling on my hand.
"Where are we going?" I asked with a confused look on my face.
"Back to your place so we can get you ready to go on your date." She stated.
I stopped in my tracks. "JJ, our date isn't until eight." I told her.
"It's going to take you awhile to get ready." I rolled my eyes as we walked out to the car and drove to my house. When we arrived we both walked into the house and my parents were sitting at the kitchen table.
"Hey Penny." My mother said greeting me.
"Hey guys." I replied.
"I didn't expect you back until way later." Mom said. Before I could say anything JJ spoke up.
"Well, we had to get her ready for her big date tonight." She told my mom. I turned to JJ and glared at her.
"Date?" Mother asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, Derek asked me out on a date tonight." I told them. My dad peered over the newspaper he was reading.
"Penelope, I don't think you should go out with this boy." He said.
"Daddy." I tried.
"Penelope, I'm serious." He told me.
"It's only one date. I really like him." I gave him a slight smile.
"Fine, but if he breaks my little girl's heart….." He said leading on.
"He won't." I said then I and JJ ran up to my room. We started going through my closet.
"I like this one." JJ said holding up the mid- thigh length dress.
"Ok, we will put this one to the side and see if there's anything better." I told her. We spent another hour going through my closet but found nothing.
"Okay, well I guess we're sticking to this dress." I nodded my head.
"I'm going to go jump in the shower." I told her. She laid down on my bed and started looking through a magazine. After I was finished with my shower I Got dressed in shorts and a t-shirt and walked out of the bathroom.
"You ready?" She asked. I shook my head as I sat down in my chair in front of the vanity. JJ plugged in my blow dryer and started to do my hair. When she was all finished she told me to go ahead and put my dress on. I walked into the bathroom and put my dress on and admired my hair. Then I started to apply my makeup. When I was all done with that I went and sat in my chair to talk to JJ.
"Are you nervous?" She asked.
I nodded my head. "A little bit. Should I be?" I asked.
"No, at least I don't think so. Penelope, Derek's really into you. We can all see it." I smiled.
"Well, I better get going. Good luck on your date tonight Pen. Call me afterwards." I nodded and then she walked out the door. I waited a couple of minutes then it was about eight. I walked downstairs and all of my brothers and father were sitting on the couch watching the game. Then there was a knock on the door. My mom stood up to get it. She opened it and smiled.
"Penelope, Derek's here." I looked over to her and stood up. I walked out the door shutting it behind me. Derek took my hand and helped me down the steps. Then he opened up the passenger side door. I climbed in and we walked around the other side. He started the car then we were on our way. We pulled in front of a restaurant then got out. We sat, ate, and made small talk before leaving. We got into his car and he drove me home. He walked me up to my door.
"Goodnight Penelope." He stated.
"Goodnight Derek." He started to lean in and he kissed me. I moaned into his mouth and he pulled me closer. I pulled away.
"You still coming over tomorrow, for your tutoring session?" I asked looking up at him. He smiled and shook his head.
"I had a great time tonight Derek." I told him.
"Me too, Goodnight Penelope, I'll see you tomorrow. Text me when you want me to come over tomorrow." I shook my head and walked inside. I leaned back against the door and smiled.
"How was it pen?" I heard my mother ask.
"Amazing. I gotta go call JJ." I told her running up the stairs. I quickly pulled my phone out and dialed her number. A couple of rings later she picked up.
"I want all of the details Garcie." She said.
"Well, he took me to this fancy restaurant and we sat and talked and ate and laughed and it was wonderful. When he took me home he walked me to my door and we kissed." I heard her gasp then giggle.
"I never knew the Derek Morgan could be so romantic." She said.
"Well apparently he can. Tomorrow he's coming over for his tutoring session." I told her.
"Are your parents or brothers going to be there?" She asked.
"Nope." I said popping the p.
"Well, I'm going to let you go. Go luck tomorrow Garcie." She said. I hung up the phone and laid on my bed for a couple minutes before going to my bathroom to change. After I was finished I laid down thinking about the events that happened that night then I felt myself slowly drifting to sleep. When I woke up the next morning I smiled to myself recalling the events of last night. I turned over to look at my alarm clock, noon. I pulled myself out of bed and walked downstairs. I greeted my parents and my brothers before sitting at the kitchen table.
"You tutoring Derek today?" My mother asked. I nodded my head and said
"Yeah, He's coming over later today." My father looked up from his morning newspaper.
"I don't want that boy here alone with you Penelope." He said.
"All we are going to be doing is studying. He needs to keep his grades up so he can play in the homecoming game." I told him.
"It doesn't matter, boys like him are only after one thing." He shouted.
"He's not like that." I replied.
"Penelope, I don't want you here alone with him!" I stood up from the table and stormed out of the room.
"Pen." My mom said trying to stop me but I kept on walking. When I got upstairs I laid on my bed and texted Derek.
Me- Hey
Derek- Hi!
Me- What's up?
Derek- Nothing much buttercup. U?
Me- Laying on my bed texting you. I have a question."
Derek- What's that?
Me- Is there any possible way we could do tutoring at ur place today?
Derek- Of course! My mom has to go into work at 1:00 and she doesn't get off until late
Me- Okay, that works. Thank you so much!
Derek- No problem. I'll pick you up after she goes to work."
Me- Alrighty, I'll see you then.
After that I put my phone down and laid my head on my pillow. There was a knock on my door and I ignored it. My mom walked in and at down on the bed next to me.
"Pen, your father is only trying to protect you from getting your heart broken." She started.
"It's whatever, I just texted Derek and asked if we could study over at his place and he said that will work." I told her.
"Penelope." She started but I stopped her.
"No, you don't understand, he needs this. I'm going over there regardless of what you and dad say." I shouted turning over facing away from her. I felt her get up and walk out. I picked up my phone and dialed JJ's number. She picked up after the first ring.
"Hey Garcie!" She greeted me.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked her.
"Nothing much, just sitting in my room watching TV" She responded.
"I was wondering if I could come over for a while, my parents are driving me crazy." I heard her laugh.
"Yeah, I'll invite the rest of the guys over too." I told her.
"Okay." I said before hanging up. I grabbed my backpack and headed outside. I walked downstairs and my mother hollered after me.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"JJ's house." I shouted back before walking out of the house and over to JJ's, which is only a block or two. Once I arrived I walked inside, everyone is already there and sitting around in the living room.
"Hey Garcie, how'd you get here?" I heard Emily ask.
"I walked." I told them.
"I could've picked you up." Derek said.
"No, it's fine. I needed to clear my head anyway." I said with a smile, dropping my bag by the staircase.
"Hey Derek, you wanna go out and shoot some hoops?" Hotch asked. Derek nodded and all of the guys walked outside. Once the door closed behind them all of the girls turned to face me.
"Okay, Penny, spill it." JJ said. I gave them a confused look and we all walked over to the couch.
"How are your parents driving you crazy?" JJ asked.
"Well my mom asked if I was going to be tutoring Derek today and I told her yes and my father didn't like that. He told me he didn't want me and Derek to be alone over at my house because 'Boys like him are only after one thing.' I started using air quotations.
"And I told him that Derek needs my help studying and he didn't believe me so I stomped up to my room and my mother came to talk to me saying my father was only trying to protect me from getting hurt and I told her that regardless of what she and dad say I'm still going to tutor him." I told her. They both gave a slight nod and then JJ stood up.
"Well while you guys finish up talking, I'm going to see if the boys need anything." We all nodded and then she turned and walked out of the room.
Derek's POV
All of us went outside to shoot some hoops when JJ comes out of the house and walks over to us.
"Whatcha guys talking about?" She asked.
"Nothing much." I said fast. She raised her eyebrows and looked over to Hotch.
"We were talking about Penelope." Hotch said. I looked over to him and gave him a stern look.
"Penelope and we girls were also talking about you." She said.
"You guys were?" I said.
"Yep. Her parents didn't like the fact that you and Pen were going to be tutoring at her place with no one else there." I looked confused.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Well according to Pen her father thinks boys like you are only after one thing. So that's why Penelope wanted to move the tutoring to your place." She told me. I shook my head and then checked the time.
"What time is it?" I asked. JJ looked at her watch.
"1:30, why?" She asked.
"My mom just left for work so it's time to take Penelope to my place so we can, study." I told them smiling.
"Derek." JJ said. I turned to look at her.
"Please don't screw it up. She's really into you, and Penelope isn't the kind of girl to just jump into bed with a guy." JJ said.
"I know JJ, I'm really into her too." I told her handing the ball back to Hotch and walking into the house.
"You ready to go beautiful?" I asked walking into the living room. She looked into her lap and blushed.
"Yeah." She said standing up and grabbing her bag.
"Here, let me." I said taking the bag from her hands.
"Oh, ok." She responded quietly. I opened the passenger door for her and she climbed in. We drove to my house silently. When we got inside we walked up to my room, and she sat on the edge of my bed.
"Get comfortable." I told her handing her my math book. She sat back against the wall and I sat next to her.
"Ready to get started?" She asked. I smiled and nodded. We were two hours into studying when I yawned.
"You wanna take a break for a little while?" I asked her.
"Uh yeah sure, what do you want to do?" She asked. I took the books and paper and set them on the desk next to my bed.
"Well, I got a few ideas." I said putting my hand on her upper thigh, and leaning in to kiss her. I captured her lips and she moaned into my mouth I started to lay her back and she hesitated but went with it. I crawled between her legs and started to kiss down her neck. She moaned and I smiled inwardly. I went back up to her mouth and pushed it opened wider with my tongue, and then we heard a slight ring. She pulled away and grabbed her cell phone.
"I'm sorry, I got to take this." She said walking out of the room.
Penelope's POV
When I and Derek were having our heated make out session I heard my phone start to ring. I gave a slight shove to Derek's chest and looked at the caller ID.
"I'm sorry, I got to take this." I told him standing up and walking out of the room. I stood next to his door as I answered my phone.
"Hello." I said.
"Penny, where are you at?" I heard my mom ask on the other end of the phone. I looked at the clock, she was on her lunch break.
"It doesn't matter." I told her.
"Penelope, yes it does, I'm your mother and I'm worried about you." She said. I scoffed.
"Yeah, I'm sure." I said in a mumbled tone.
"Penelope, are you over at Derek's?" She asked me.
"So, what if I am. There's nothing you could do about it." I said angrily.
"Penelope Anne." She responded.
"Mom, I don't care what you or dad say, I'm still going to continue to tutor him because Mrs. Strauss told me too. You guys don't understand, I really like him, mom. Why can't you guys understand that?" I asked before hanging up. I took a deep breath and walked back into the room. He was sitting on the bed looking at me.
"Trouble at home?" He asked me. I nodded my head.
"You wanna talk about it?" He asked again. I slowly walked back over to where I was sitting before.
"It's just my parents." He took my hand in his.
"What's goin' on?" I laid my head on his shoulder and he kissed the top of my head.
"Well my parents don't like the fact that I'm alone with you even though I've already told them that it's not like that but they don't believe me. Alright enough of my problems, let's get back to studying because you have that big test next week." She said. He put his hand on my upper thigh once again.
"Or, we could go back to doing what we were doing before you got that call." He said with a smile.
"Derek, I would love to, but you have that test coming up that you need to pass if you're going to play in the homecoming game. But I'll make you a deal." I told him.
"Oh and what's that?" He asked. I smiled and turned over to straddle him. His hands found my waist and I leaned in to kiss him on the nose.
"If you work really hard, then maybe we could afterwards." I responded grinding against the bulge in his pants. He let out a soft moan and smiled.
"I think you have a deal." He replied. I climbed off of him and put the book in my lap.
"Tease." He said looking down at me. I smiled.
"You know you like it." I told him.
"Okay, you're right, I do." He said. I gave him a big grin and he leaned down and kissed me. I started writing down more problems for him to solve. After he solved all of them he gave the paper back to me. I checked them over and handed it back.
"Fix this one and we're done." I told him pointing to a problem. When I looked it over again I gave him a smile and gave him a thumbs up. I started to put my book into my backpack and sat back down. Derek laid back on his bed and gave me a smile.
"You promised." He told me. I smiled back and started to crawl towards him slowly. When I straddled him and slowly started to lean down he sat up the rest of the way to capture my lips and pulled me down with him. We laid there making out for a few minutes until his lips went to my neck. I moaned and I felt him grin against my skin. His hands went to my hips and then slipped under my shirt. He pulled me closer to him ground my warm center against his. His hands were travelling up to my breast when I pulled away.
"What's wrong baby, did I do something wrong?" He asked me with a tint of worry in his voice.
"Uh, N-no. It's just, um." I stuttered.
"You're a virgin?" He said in a questioning tone. I slowly nodded my head yes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to rush you." He told me.
"Uh, Derek, it's fine. I just want to go slow." I told him. He sat up and leaned his back against the wall.
"So, that was pretty hot." Derek said with a smile.
"Yeah, I guess so. Derek, what does this mean?" I asked.
"What?" he asked.
"What is going on between us?" I asked.
"Well, I mean if you want, I can start classifying you as my girlfriend." Derek said.
"Yeah, I would like that." I told him.
"You wanna go downstairs and watch some movies, my mom doesn't get off till midnight?" He asked me. I nodded my head and climbed off of him. He took my hand and led me into the living room. I sat on the couch and he looked at me.
"Whatcha wanna watch baby girl?" He asked me.
"I don't care anything works for me." I told him. He held up a case and I smiled and nodded my head. He put the DVD in and came and sat next to me on the couch. Derek pulled my feet into his lap and turned off the lamp on the table next to the couch. He started to massage my foot that was in his lap and I moaned. He looked up at me and smiled.
He leaned in and whispered in my ear. "Ya know baby girl, I can get that noise from you a whole different way." He whispered. I smiled and blushed. He cuddled up next to me and laid his head on my chest and hand on my stomach. We laid there talking for a moment until he kissed me. The movie was soon forgotten as we laid there kissing for a couple minutes. When I came up for air I looked over to the clock I Pushed him away.
"Sorry Derek, but I gotta go." I told him standing up and grabbing my things.
"Hold on, I'll take you home." He said standing up too. We both walked out to his car and he opened the passenger side door for me and I climbed in then we were on our way. He pulled up in front of my house, got out and opened my door. I climbed out and stood on my tiptoes to give him a kiss.
"I'll see you tomorrow babe." I smiled at him and started to walk up to my front door. When I walk inside my mom and dad are sitting at the kitchen table. I hurry up the stairs. I make it to my room before I hear my mom holler for me, but I ignore it and slam my door shut. I laid on my bed and pulled out my phone.
"I want the details!" JJ shouted when she answered her phone.
"Well I was getting there." I told her smiling.
"Did you guys have sex?!" I gasped.
"JJ, what kind of girl do you think I am?" I asked.
"Okay Pen, you're right." I finished filling in. After I got off the phone with JJ I laid in my bed for a while thinking of the day's earlier events before I dozed off. The next morning I heard my alarm going off. I rolled over and turned it off then slowly rolled out of bed. I put on some leggings and a loose T-shirt and ran downstairs for breakfast. The rest of my family were at the table and I took a seat next to one of my brothers.
"So what are your plans for the day?" My mom asked.
"Well going to school and afterwards I'm gonna tutor Derek." I replied. I heard my dad sigh loudly and I rolled my eyes, grabbed my bag and walked out of the house and to my car. When I got to the school I saw the group sitting outside on a picnic table. I went over and took a seat next to Derek.
"Hey girl." He said greeting me. Derek draped his arm around my shoulders and gave me kiss on the forehead.
"Um Pen, are you guys not telling us something." JJ said. Everyone's Eyes turned towards us. Derek smiled down at me.
"Well guys, we are officially dating now." Derek told them. JJ and Emily squealed. Everyone started laughing and then the morning bell rang. We all stood up and started to head inside. Derek walked me to my first class. He gave me a peck on the lips and I walked inside. I sat down and waited for class to start.
"You know he's with you because you're tutoring him, right?" Said someone from behind me. I turned to see who it was, Jordan.
"Excuse me?" I asked her.
"You heard me. Derek's only with you because he needs a tutor, and well, he figures that you want something out of it to, I mean you're not even his type." Jordan says hatefully.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked her, not really wanting to know the answer.
"Well let's put it this way, he isn't into fat cows like you." She said. I turned back around when the bell rang and the teacher walked in. It was almost time to go home when my phone vibrated. I picked it up and seen I had a message from Derek.
D- Hey, are we still on for our tutoring session tonight ;)
P- Yeah, just come by my place when you get out of football practice.
When the bell rang for us to go home, I walked out to the student parking lot and got into my car. What Jordan said this morning was still playing in my mind. When I drove to my house my parents were already at work and my brothers were somewhere else. I laid on the couch and took a deep breath. Before I knew it there was a knock on my door. I opened it and Derek stood on the other side. He looked down and smiled at me. Both of us walked to the living room and we started working. After we were finished I sat on the couch next to him. He leaned in and started kissing me. His hands were travelling up my sides and I pulled away.
"Pen, what's wrong?" He asked me.
"Nothing." I said fast and got up and walked to the kitchen.
"Penelope, you weren't acting like this when we kissed last night or when I kissed you this morning." He said.
"Derek, it's nothing, just don't worry about it." I replied.
"Pen - something happened at school today, didn't it?" He asked. I looked up at him.
"No." I told him.
"Tell me the truth." He said back sternly.
"Okay, fine. I just had a little run in with Jordan, that's all." I said looking down. He gritted his teeth.
"What did she say?" He asked. I shook my head no.
"Derek, it's nothing you need to worry about." I tried to tell him.
"Baby. Please." He said.
"All she said was that… you're only with me… because you need a tutor and you're just rewarding me for tutoring you, that you don't actually want to be with me." I told him slowly. I heard his breath hitch and he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in. I laid my head on his chest and he rubbed his hands up and down my back.
"Is there anything else she said?" He asked.
"Uh, no." I told him.
"Penelope. Don't lie to me." He said.
"She said that I wasn't your type and I asked her what that was supposed to mean and she said that you weren't into fat cows like me." I told him quietly.
"Penelope, please tell me you don't believe her. I really like you, and don't forget that." He kissed my head. We went to sit on the couch and I curled up next to him. We started watching a movie that was on the TV. I put my feet up of the coffee table and laid my head on his shoulder. We were a couple minutes into the movie and he put his hand on my upper thigh. I turned towards him. He leaned in and kissed my lips. I turned and straddled his lap. His hands went to my hips and I continued to kiss him. His lips traveled down to my neck and then my collar bone. I moaned. He lifted me up and laid me on my back on the couch and climbed on top of me. His lips came down on mine again as his hand trailed up my leg. I felt his hard member pressing against my warm center. I pushed him away and finally spoke.
"Derek-" I said.
"Hm?" He moaned.
"We can't do this." I told him.
"Why not?" He asked me kissing me on the neck again.
"Be- because I'm not ready." I told him pushing away. He sat up quickly.
"Baby, I'm sorry." He said apologizing. He put his head in his hands. I crawled over and sat next to him.
"Derek, trust me, I want to do it with you, but I'm scared, nervous, and I'm not sure what to do when it comes to sex. I don't want to screw it up for the both of us." I told him. He looked up at me and smiled.
"Babe, you could never screw it up for us. Can I make you a deal?" He asked. I nodded my head.
"How about we go slowly. We'll experiment without going all the way. I'll teach you everything you need to know for when we do go all of the way." He told me. I nodded my head and smiled.
"I would like that Derek." I replied.
"When do you want to start?" He asked me.
"I'm not sure. I'll text you when I want to start." I told him. He nodded his head a kissed me before standing up and grabbing his things. A couple minutes after he left I heard my mother's car pull into the garage.
"Hey mama." I said greeting her.
"Hey Pen, how did the tutoring session go?" She asked me.
"It went great I guarantee that he passes his test so he can play in the homecoming game." My mother smiled and sat at the table with me.
"So, tell me about this Derek." She said.
"Well mom, he's friendly, Derek's actually one of the nicest guys I know. A real sweetheart." I told her.
"And, are you guys, dating?" She asked. I slowly nodded my head. She did a quick intake of breath.
"Mom, he's really into me, he said so he and so did JJ and Em. Derek treats me like a princess." I told her.
"Penelope, you know your father won't be happy about this." She told me.
"I don't understand why. Derek is nice to me, he always has a smile on his face. I promise mom, just give him a chance and he'll prove to you and to dad that he won't ever hurt me." I told her squeezing her hand.
"I'll try to talk to him, but no promises." She replied. I squealed and gave her a hug before running up to my room. I looked in my mirror and saw the hickey's Derek left around my collar bone. I quickly pulled open my closet door and found a turtle neck I was going to wear tomorrow for school. For now I just stuck with a hoodie. And hour or so later I heard my mother call me down for dinner. I hurriedly pranced down the stairs and into the dining room where everyone else was sitting.
"Penny, your father and I are going out of town this weekend." My mother said.
"And all of us are going with them." One of my oldest brothers said looking at my mom.
"So I'm going to be here alone?" I said in a questioning tone.
"Yes, but we have a few rules." My mom said. I nodded my head.
"First off, no boys. Second, no parties." She started off saying.
"Can Em and JJ still come over?" I asked. She nodded her head. When dinner was done I did my chores and went to go get ready for bed. I laid in my bed and grabbed my phone to text Derek.
P: Hey
D: Hi sunshine!
P: My parents are going out of town this weekend so if you would like to come over so we can start that would be awesome.
D: Of course! When are they leaving?
P: Friday
D: Alrighty, see you then.
After our conversation was over I turned over and fell asleep. Before I knew it, it was Friday and I parents and brothers were grabbing their bags and heading out the door. It was a long day at school and before I knew it the 3:00 and I was headed out to my car, and then to my house. I got settled in and changed my clothes. As I was walking back down the stairs there was a knock on the door. I opened it and Derek was standing on my porch.
"Hey baby girl." He said greeting me.
"Hey handsome." I said back. He leaned in and kissed me and we walked over to the couch.
"So, what's first?" I asked.
"Well, we have to go over some basic's first." He told me.
"Like what?" I asked.
"Well, what feels good and what doesn't and how to do things, so when we do go all of the way it will be amazing." He said. I leaned in and kissed him on the lips. He moaned into my mouth and started to lay me back on the couch. He put his hand on my side, going up my shirt and this time I let him.
"Here baby, sit up." He told me. I sat up and he slipped my shirt off. I covered myself with my hands. He touched one and I looked up at him.
"It's okay babe." He said. I laid back down and he continued kissing me. His lips travelled down to my neck and I moaned.
"You like that baby?" He asked me. I nodded my head.
"So, Derek I was thinking" I said when he was kissing my neck.
"What's that sweetheart?" he asked.
"I was thinking we should have a party." I told him.
"A party?" I nodded my head.
"I thought no parties were a rule." he said. I looked at him and smirked.
"No boys were on the list, but you're here." he smiled at me.
"You're a bad girl Penelope." he said biting down on my neck and swatting at my ass. I moaned and I felt him smile against my neck.
"Did that feel good?" he asked. "Yes." I replied.
