Summer Rental-Ch 5

The next couple of hours flew by as Derek and Melody played but soon it was dinner time and then bath time and before he knew it the time had come for her to go to bed. He hugged her tight and said, "good night princess daddy loves you", she kissed him on the cheek and said, "nighttttttt daddy, I lub you", he started to get up and Penelope said, "please wait, we really need to talk".

He sat back and nodded his head yes as he watched the two loves of his life walking down the hall toward Melodys room, while he waited he smiled as he looked around the room at all of the beautiful pictures. He walked over and looked at one that was of Penelope her friend and Melody, he picked it up and said, "you both look so happy with him, do I stand a chance"?, Penelope walked into the room and said, "who are you talking to"?, he put the picture back up on the mantle and said, "myself".

She sat down on the couch and patted it and said, "please sit", he looked at his watch and saw that he had some time so he walked over and sat down beside her and said, "so what do you want to talk about"?, she said, "Melody". He said, "what about her"?, she said, "I want you to know that I would never purposely keep her from you".

He put his hand on hers and said, "I know that bab, Penelope", she said, "when I found out that I was pregnant with her the first thing I did was try to call you but your number had been disconnected and I took that as a sign that what we had was just a summer fling". He cupped her face in his hands and said, "but how could you belive that"?, she said, "I was alone and vunerable and then I find out that I'm pregnant with your child and I have no way of getting in touch with you, what else was I to think"?, he stood up and said, "after that amazing summer we had you thought so little of me"?, she opened her mouth and he stood up and said, "no Penlope, no, you thought that I would just run away from you and our child"?, she said, "no Derek no".

He said, "is it okay if I spend some time with Mel tomorrow"?, she said, "yes, you can spend as much time as you want with her", he said, "tell her that I will see her in the morning". She said, "where are you going, we need to talk", he said, "I have a date", she put her hands on her hips and said, "Derek please don't go, please stay here with me".

He took a deep breath as he walked and said, "I'll see you in the morning", after the door shut she slid down to the floor and said, "what just happened,
what did I do"?, Derek shook his head and said, "how could you say that crap moron, you love her and yet you hurt her like that". As he headed down the beach toward Savannahs he stopped and looked over his shoulder at Penelopes place.

He wanted to turn around and head back and as his feet started heading back toward Penelopes when he got to the window his heart broke when he saw her and her friend wrapped in each others arms. He watched as the man holding her kissed her forehead and said something to her that made her smile, ohhhh how he wanted to be the man that was making her smile.

When he saw them walking hand in hand down the hall he turned and headed back up the beach toward Savannahs place, he knocked on her door and when she came to the door she smiled and said, "right on time handsome". He stepped inside and looked around and said, "something smells amazing", she said, "it's Chicken ala Vannah".

Derek laughed and said, "sounds mysterious", she put a fork up to his lips and he said, "that's amazing", she said, "I'm more than just a pretty face", he licked his lips and said, "that you are beautiful, that you are". Penelope looked over her shoulder and said, "I'll be back, I need some fresh air", she didn't step out until she heard an okay be careful" coming from down the hall.

She stepped out onto the sand and felt her heart racing as she started walking toward Dereks, she needed to see him, to tell him that she didn't mean it to sound like she ever doubted his feelings for her. Derek looked at Savannah and said, "your place is beautiful", she said, "thanks it's my aunts place but she is letting me have it while I'm here on vacation".

She slid his hand up and down his thigh caressing it saying, "I really like you Derek", he looked at her and said, "I like you to Savannah, you seem like a nice person bu" and before he could tell her that his heart belonged to Penelope now and forever she crashed her lips to his while she quickly jumped into his lap straddling him.

Penelope looked through Dereks window and didn't see anybody and decided to walk on up the beach since it was such a beautiful night, as she looked out over the beautiful water she heard something, she heard moaning. When she turned around she saw the love of her life half naked and making out with another woman, one that she could only assume was Savannah.

She wiped away the tears as she turned and started running back toward her house, Derek pushed Savannah away and said, "I came for dinner Savannah", she said,
"I was thinking that we could have dessert first"?, he said, "I think I'm going to call it a night". Savannah sat there and watched shockingly as Derek got up and left.
