All I Want For Christmas Is You-Ch 4
About 90 minutes later they were sitting in their seats on the plane as they waited for it to start making its way down the runway, Derek reached over and intertwined their fingers and said, "I love you". She grinned at him and said, "I love you to hotstuff", he brought her hand to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "so how about you fill me in on your family", she nodded her head as she started telling him about all of the family he was going to be meeting at Paytons.
When the plane landed she said, "are you ready to meet my crazy family"?, he said, "ready, willing and oh so able gorgeous, I just hope that the Garcia family is ready to meet Derek Morgan". As they headed through the airport Penelope couldn't help but smile, she finally had the man, the one man that she had been dreaming of for years, her hotstuff.
She was pulled back to reality by the sound of somebody calling her name, she looked across the airport and saw her oldest brother Payton standing there waving. Derek whispered, "that's Payton right"?, she nodded her head and said, "that's right, you're doing good so far sugar", he blew out a deep breath and said, "just keep tellin me that baby girl", she winked at him and said, "always" as they continued walking toward Payton.
Payton threw his arms around his sister and said, "P it's so good to see you", she said, "it's good to see you to Pay", she then pointed to Derek and said, "Pay this is my boyfriend Derek Morgan and hotstuff this is my oldest brother Payton Garcia". Derek shook hands with Payton and said, "it's nice to meet you Payton".
Payton said, "it's nice to meet you to Derek, welcome to our crazy family", Derek laughed and said, "how many people are coming for the reunion"?, he said, "about 60 I think". Penelope said, "did aunt Karen come"?, he said, "yeah and she's so anxious to see you", Penelope looked at Derek and said, "she's my mommas only living sister".
As they headed through the airport Payton said, "soooo, how long have the two of you been dating"?, Derek said, "I finally pulled my head out of my butt and asked her today". Penelope snuggled closer to him as they walked out of the airport and toward Paytons waiting car, after putting their luggage into the trunk and climbing inside they headed out toward Casa Garcia.
Derek had been to California more times than he could count but this time was different, this time he was going with the woman that had stolen his heart, his baby girl, his goddess. It wasn't long before they pulled up in front of Paytons house, Derek said, "you have a beautiful home Payton", he said, "thanks, me and the other brothers did all the work".
Derek said, "you all did a great job, I do a little renovating myself", Payton said, "how about later I show you some pictures of how things use to look before we fixed it"?, Derek nodded his head and said, "sounds great". They climbed out of the car and headed around back to get their bags and just as they pulled them out of the trunk Penelope heard her aunt Karen calling her name.
She turned around and ran into the older womans arms and said, "aunt Karen, how have you been"?, Karen said, "good, can't complain, how about you honey"?, Penelope said, "work keeps me pretty busy but I'm okay". Karen leaned in and said, "who's the handsome man talking to your brother"?, Penelope grinned and said, "that's my boyfriend/best friend Derek Morgan".
Derek looked up when he heard her say his name, he smiled and said, "hi, it's nice to meet you", Karen said, "it's nice to meet you to Derek, I'm Penelopes aunt Karen". Derek grinned and said, "I've heard a lot about you", she grinned and said, "and I've heard a lot about you to and might I say you two look great together".
Penelope intertwined fingers with him and said, "he's the love of my life auntie", Karen sighed happily and said, "and it shows honey, the two of you are practically glowing". Derek said, "my goddess brings it out in me I guess", he then kissed her cheek before they all headed inside the house so Payton could show them to their room.
When they got upstairs Payton said, "you two don't care to share a room, do ya"?, Derek and Penelope looked at each other and grinned and then at Payton and in unison said, "nope" and then they started laughing as they headed into the room they would be sharing while they were their on their mini vacation.
