Queen For A Day-Ch 5
Dereks attention turned from his baby girl to an adorable little boy feeding the ducks in the pond, he said, "now that's adorable". Penelope turned to see the little boy and said, "yes, yes it is, he's a real cutie", Derek nodded his head yes in agreement and said, "I want that, I want to have a little boy or girl hey or both to run to me and call me daddy".
Penelopes hand went on top of his and she said, "don't worry sugar shack, one day you're going to find the perfect woman for you and then you can whisk her off of her feet and marry her and then start having grandbabies for that wonderful momma of yours".
Derek gently squeezed her hand and said, "I've already found the perfect woman for me", she felt her heart drop and she said, "that's great news honey". Derek sighed and said, "but I'm afraid", she said, "afraid, afraid of what my noir hero'?, he said, "I don't know how she really feels about me".
Penelope said, "any woman in her right mind would love to have The Derek Morgan sweep her off of her feet and woo her hotstuff style". He bit down on his bottom lip and said, "this girl, she's different, she's special, she's one of a kind".
Penelope said, "one of a kind, what makes her so special"?, Derek said, "the way I feel about her, the way she makes me feel, just thinking about her makes me want to be with her". He opened his mouth to say something else and it started sprinkling rain.
Derek said, "maybe it'll pass" and before Penelope could answer him it started raining harder and harder and they jumped up and he threw the stuff into the picnic basket and said, "you would have thought that the tree would have given us some shelter but nooooooo" causing them both to laugh as they ran for the nearest shelter.
They ran onto the shelter and quickly started trying to dry themselves, an elderly man said, "that rain came of of nowhere didn't it"?, Derek said, "it sure did". The elderly man said, "my names Thomas Beltman and this is my wonderful wife of 55 years Maria", Derek smiled and said, "I'm Derek, Derek Morgan and this beautiful woman is my best friend in the world Penelope Garcia".
Maria smiled and said, "the way you look at each other and act with each other I could have sworn that the two of you were a happily married couple". Derek smiled and Penelope blushed as Thomas said, "Maria don't embarrass the nice young people", she said, "if I embarrassed you I'm so sorry".
Derek said, "mam you're fine and you have nothing to apologize for", Maria said, "see Thomas I didn't say anything wrong" causing Penelope to smile". They sat there waiting for the rain to pass and Penelope said, "so how did you and Thomas meet"?, Maria looked lovingly into her husbands eyes and then at Derek and Penelope and said, "he's been my best friend for what is it Thomas 60 years now".
Penelope said, "b b best friend"?, Thomas winked at her and said, "it's like the old saying goes good friends make the best lovers or something like that, well in this womans case it is sooooo true". Maria blushed and said, "Thomasssss", he said, "well am I lying"?, she shook her head and said, "don't pay any attention to him".
Derek smiled and said, "he's fine Maria, just fine", they sat there laughing and talking for quite a while before the rain finally stopped. Derek said, "are you ready to head out sweetness, we've got to get ready for the carnival"?, she said, "ready when you sugar shack" causing Thomas and Maria to grin.
Before the happy couple left they hugged the older couple and thanked them for spending some time talking to them and as Derek and Penelope walked away Thomas said, "best friends my old butt". Maria said, "they might be friends but their is definitely love there and not friendship love either".
Thomas brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it and said, "they remind me a lot of us", she nodded her head in agreement and said, "me to so something tells me that if they aren't together already they will be". Thomas winked at her and then wrapped his arm around her and said, "that they will my love, that they will" as they continued to sit and watch around the once again busy park.
