-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Chapter Six -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The night was ebbing in and Penelope was sat with Emily and JJ, it was the first real moment of down time she'd had with her favourite girl's since this whirlwind of a day began. She had a cocktail in her hand and the light summer breeze that blew through was almost sleep inducing. She was completely worn out but she was waiting for a dance with Derek. Then she'd go home a happy, happy Garcia. She watched the Lynch's slink away as though the place became full of debauchery and a place you could call a whore house. If anything it was the perfect night for anyone working the BAU's job. It was light and it was proving to be a lot of fun.

"So you and Morgan eh?" Emily prompted as she leant in. "It official?" Penelope nodded a little. "What's it like?"

Penelope sipped her cocktail and looked at them. "It's everything I thought it would be and more!" She said and looked at them with awe. "I was always told that when you kiss the man you're meant to be with forever you see stars while he see's fireworks and I do see stars and I hope to God he see's fireworks."

"Touching you baby girl causes me to see fireworks. Our chemistry is just that fierce." Derek said and pulled her up and she just about managed to hand her drink to JJ as she was pulled close to Derek's chest. "Can I have this dance m'lady?" He asked and curtsied a little at her and she giggled and he looked up at her, still bowed.

"Well how can I refuse such a kind sir?"

"Simple beautiful, you can't." He said and pulled her to the floor as the beat was up and the mood was hot and sizzling. Penelope then experienced salsa, Derek Morgan style. She allowed him to lead and she'd never felt so good dancing before in her life.

Strauss watched the two and frowned, that was about to stop or there'd be hell to pay on their job's come Monday. She began to walk towards them, her posture strict, her head high and then she froze. Hotch and Rossi stood in front of her, arms crossed over their chests.

"Move Hotch, Rossi."

"No can do Erin." Rossi told her a leant in towards her. "We need a word." He said and all Strauss could do was go into the building away from the hustle and bustle outside. There she got a talking down and it wasn't until the director joined that she gave up. Frat rules abolished.

Emily watched the happiness on Penelope's face as she danced with Derek, JJ looked at Emily and then at the pair and began to smile. "He really brings out the true Penelope."

"He does, she's missing something when he isn't around." JJ added on and just watched the pair. "She loses all inhibitions she used to carry around when she was with Kevin. It's good to see you know?"

"Yeah it is. Let's hope Hotch and Rossi can get Strauss to agree on that one eh?" Emily asked and then got up. "Let's go dance JJ."

Hours later Penelope slumped down. Now she was completely worn out. She watched Derek get her and himself a drink and then saunter back and sit next to her and give her the soda. "You're amazing up there."

"That's the best I've ever had." He admitted to her. "Baby girl, I want you right now." He told her truthfully. "I won't lie to you. I want you right now. I want to make you mine forever. I want to feel pure fireworks when I make love to you." Penelope looked away and Derek panicked. "Oh baby, what did I say? I'm sorry I didn't mean to say something wrong."

"Kevin said I was bad in bed. His mother got wind of it and before I knew it, his dad and sister knew. Their conclusion was that I needed to lose weight and I'd be better. We didn't make love after it." She told him and let out a deep breath. "Thing I can't get my head around is that I stayed around to have that done to me. I allowed myself to get insulted."

"It makes it nowhere near your fault though." Derek said and pulled her hand in his. "That family didn't realise what type of woman they had in their grasps and I hope they realise it now. Too little, too late." He told her and Penelope smiled at him. "I betcha it was Lynch that sucked in bed. He looks like his carries light."

"Light is an understatement." Penelope told him and he laughed out loud at her. "Trust me, I've not seen baby Derek but I can tell just from sheer sight through pants that you pack heavy handsome." She leant in then. "I've always had a thing for BMW's and this time round I don't mean the cars."

Derek growled at how delicious and seductive she looked as she said that to him. "Don't make me want you more." He told her and Penelope merely smiled innocently at him. "I've always wondered what waking up with you next to me would be like." He told her and Penelope bite her lip, another move that Derek face luring and sexy. "The sun on your skin, your body waiting for me to take it whole. Make you mine all over again." He leant closer to her then too, face to face completely. "Marry me." He made it a statement rather than a question and Penelope felt the burn of tears as they started up.

It was then the team all took seats. "It's like a team meeting but not." Reid commented and they could all tell his was little more than intoxicated.

Penelope looked at Derek who looked lost. She just took his hand and shook it a little and when he looked at her she nodded her head slightly and smiled. "Sweetie, have you been mixing?"

"No!" He told her and she raised her eyebrow at him.

"Don't lie to me sweet cheeks, I'm the oracle of this here building. You know I know a lie whenever I hear one."

"Maybe just a little but I blame Emily!" He said and pointed at JJ and then at Emily when he realised it was the wrong person. "She's drunk as much as me."

"Yet she's no lightweight kid!" Derek told him and they all laughed. "You know not to take Prentiss on with drinking and Reid, you don't drink."

"S'okay." He slurred. "It was quite fun."

"Emily really? What the hell did you give him?" Penelope asked and Emily tapped her nose. "Reid's off drinking for a month."

"No fair!" Reid spoke up.

"Ring me and tell me about your hangover tomorrow yeah?" She asked him and he nodded at her before putting his head in his arms and didn't sit back up. "Well maybe I'll have that phone call sooner." She commented as Emily poked him and got no reaction. Rossi just slapped the back of Reid's head and he shot up.

"Come on son, I'm getting you and your family home." Rossi said and helped him stand up. "See you guys later." He said and they all said bye to him and Reid. Penelope just burst out laughing.

"I think I love drunk Reid."

"If only we had a camera." Emily said and then stood up. "I'm gonna go catch a cab home. Mother and father flew off earlier so I was left to vend for myself." He mocked her own parents jokingly. "I'll see you later though." She then went.

"I'm gonna take her home." Hotch said after a moment's hesitation. "See you three Monday." He then left and JJ stood up slowly.

"We needed to get Henry home hours ago but were having too much time, but I'll see you two in a couple of days." She told them with a smile and gave Pen a hug before leaving the pair of them.

"So you wanna marry me?" Penelope asked turning to him, a smile still on her face.

"Ever since I met you." He told her in all honesty. It wasn't a lie. It was from the birth of baby girl that he had wanted to have Penelope the way his mind had her nightly. He didn't want to dream anymore. She was free, she was single, she was in love with him. He wanted her to be taken and happy and have it all with him and him only. He wasn't going to let her go again.
