"Good morning, princess."

"I'll show you a good morning, hot stuff." Penelope muttered through a yawn, keeping her eyes closed in preparation for the onslaught of the Evil Glowing Orb.

"If you opened your eyes, you'd be having an even better morning," Derek said, a teasing lilt in his deep voice.

"The Evil Glowing Orb, mittens."

"Mittens? That's a new one. You're su-uper hung-over." The sing-song way he dragged out 'super' made Penelope want to barf. Preferably all over him. He was sickeningly cheerful after his morning run, always was.

"I love you, but you need to stop," she commanded gruffly. Her head was banging.

"You should love me," he informed her. "Wake up and smell the coffee, baby girl." She opened one eye instantly.

"Coffee?" She opened the other eye, and saw a cup of what looked like her favourite sugary, caffeinated beverage. "Did you remember the shot of syrup?" Penelope croaked out, reaching hands out for the cup impatiently. Derek frowned.

"You really doubt me? I'm hurt. Dearest, I got you a triple-shot. Wow, grabby," he said, rolling his eyes as she snatched the drink from him, and gulped half of it down in one go. She moaned, and he smirked.

"I really do love you," she told him, with a small smile, before she went back to drinking the coffee. When she was finished, she finally looked him over properly, and realised he was half naked, a towel—her towel, but she wasn't going to complain about that right now—wrapped low around his waist.

She was glad she hadn't noticed that while drinking the coffee. She probably would have choked on it. But hey, then he would have had to give her mouth to mouth…

"Earth to Penelope," Derek said, waving his hand in front of her, chuckling as he noticed her slightly glazed over eyes.

"Come back to bed, handsome," she invited, a smirk flirting with her lips. Lips that he knew his own should be flirting with. Throwing her a mock bow, he hastily joined her on the bed, linking their lips together as they both giggled and settled in for a good make-out session.
