Summer Rental-Ch 7
Derek said, "talk, talk about what"?, he said, "I know that I am not Melodys daddy but I love that little girl and I love Penelope, she is the best friend I have ever had and I can't stand to see her hurting". Derek said, "hurting, why is she hurting"?, Reid crossed his arms and said, "maybe I shouldn't have said anything".
Derek said, "noooooo, now you said that she was hurting, what's wrong with her"?, he said, "she cried herself to sleep lastnight after coming back from her walk". He said, "and how is that suppose to be my fault"?, he took a deep breath and said, "she loves you you idiot and it's killing her to see you with this other woman".
He stood there speechless for a few seconds and said, "you're in love with her aren't you"?, he nodded his head and said, "how could I not, she is the most amazing woman I have ever met, she is kind, loving and have the biggest heart of anyone I have ever met". Derek nodded his head in agreement and said, "that she does Spencer, that she does".
Reid put his hand on Dereks shoulder and said, "you need to tell her how you truly feel about her", he said, "she doesn't want to be with me", Reid laughed and said, "for a smart man you are such an idiot". Reid said, "why don't you spend the day with her and try to convince her how much you love her", Derek said, "why are you doing this"?, he said, "because she's talking about moving back to California".
Dereks mouth flew open and his heart raced at the thoughts of losing his baby girls forever, their conversation ended when Penelope and Melody walked back up the hall. Penelope said, "we're ready", he smiled and said, "you both look beautiful this morning", Melody laughed and said, "you funny daddy", he picked her up and swung her around and said, "I am huh"?, she laughed and said, "weeeeeeeee" as he took her around and around.
Reid smiled and said, "you three have fun and don't forget the sunscreen today it's suppose to be a scorcher", Penelope hugged him and said, "thanks for everything Spencer". He smiled and said, "anytime, what are friends for"?, she winked at him as her and Derek each took a hand and led their beautiful little girl out of the house.
Spencer walked over to the door and smiled as he watched Melody looking her parents up in the face as they walked down by the water, he said, "don't let her get away Derek" before turning around and heading into the kitchen to fix himself a cup of coffee before heading over to his computer to work on files from work.
Melody squealed as her feet got covered by the water, Penelope sat down on the sand and pulled her legs up to her chest and laughed as she watched Derek as he ran out into the water to pick her up. He kissed her cheek and whispered something into her ear causing her to throw her head back and laugh, he then walked them out deeper into the water causing her to wrap her arms snuggly around his neck.
Penelope sighed happily as her first walk with Derek came back to her mind, she saw her and Derek walking their way up the beach, she can still feel his hand in hers as he intertwines their fingers. He brings her hand up to his lips and gently kisses it and says, "you are so beautiful baby girl", she said, "why thank you kind sir".
As they walked on up the beach the water covered their toes, she remembered them stopping and him cupping her face in his hands, she can then see him slowly leaning in and gently pressing his lips against hers. Their tongues battled for control as their hands roamed all over each others bodies, when they pulled apart Penelope said, "maybe we should stop".
Derek looked at her and said, "do you want to stop"?, she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "no handsome", he smiled as he rested his forehead against hers and said, "good, because neither do I" as his lips claimed hers again. She was pulled out of her memory by Melody said, "tome in mommaaaaa, tome in wif us".
She stood up and ran into the water where Melodys squeals of happiness could be heard as her mother and father splashed her and each other as the morning quickly slipped away.
