Summer Rental-Ch 8
Derek glanced over at Penelope and couldn't help but smile as the sun beemed all around her and their daughter, as he watched her splashing in the water all he wanted to do was pull her into his arms and tell her how he turly felt. He walked over to her and said, "baby girl about lastnight", she said, "I'm sorry to".
He smiled and said, "I'm sorry for everything I said and I want you to know that I", his sentence was cut short by the voice of Savannah saying, "hiiiiiii Derek". He closed his eyes and said to himself, "no not now", Melody said, "tome on daddy, pway wif me", he said, "daddy will be right back baby", Penelope said, "come on baby momma will play with you".
Penelope reluctantly headed up the beach giving Derek and Savannah some space to talk, Melody looked up and said, "wets mate a caswel momma", Penelope looked down at her daughter and laughed and said, "momma loves that idea". As they sat down on the sand she couldn't help but wonder what was going on between Derek and Savannah.
Derek said, "what are you doing here Savannah, I told you I had plans with my baby this morning", she ran her hand down his muscular chest and said, "yes you did but you didn't mention that her mother would be here with you". He said, "I don't owe you any explanations Savannah, none whatsoever", her mouth flew open and she said, "that's where I disagree".
She glanced over Dereks shoulder and said, "you are my man and I want to spend time with you", Derek said, "we're not serious Savannah, you and me are just having a little fun". She said, "I care a lot about you Derek and I want to see where our relationship ca go", he said, "I like you Savannah, as a friend but my feelings for Penelope are love, they always have been and always will be".
Savannah said, "but but", Derek said, "if our plans hadn't already been made for this picnic I would spend the day here with both of my girls", she looked down at her watch and said, "speaking of the picnic, I better go get the basket together". She leaned forward and pressed her lips against his and said, "see ya later lover".
Penelope looked up just in time to see their lips touch, she sighed and shook her head as she continued to help Melody with her castle, as Savannah started walking away she said, "see you in a few minutes sweetie". Derek blew out a deep breath and said, "why me, why me" as he headed back over to rejoin both of his baby girls.
He sat down on the sand beside Melody and said, "what are you doing princess"?, she smiled and said, "pwaying daddy", he said, "can daddy play with you and momma"?, she said, "uh huh". Penelope said, "so how us Savannah"?, he said, "fine, she just stopped by to remind me about our picnic", she said, "ohhhh I had forgotten about that".
He said, "yeah me to, I was having so much fun with you two beautiful ladies that everything else just flew out of my mind", Penelope looked down at her daughter and said, "baby when we get finished with this castle you and momma need to head home so daddy can go on his date with his girlfriend". Derek said,
"she's not my girlfriend".
Penelope said, "it's fine Derek, you are a grown man and you are entitled to have a life and a love life", he said, "baby girl I", she said, "we really need to finish this castle Derek". He said, "can I see you later"?, she said, "I don't think that's a good idea do you"?, he said, "and why wouldn't it"?, she said, "well we don't want to confuse Mel".
He said, "confuse her, how would that be confusing her, I love her and I lov", she said, "not now Derek, please not now, right now let's enjoy out time that we are spending together with our daughter and the future will fix itself". He nodded his head and decided to give up at least for now, a few minutes later Melody patted the top of her castle and said, "pewfect".
Derek laughed and said, "you did a great job princess", Penelope smiled and said, "it's beautiful sweetie", Melody said, "fank you", they both laughed as Derek started tickling Melody. Penelope stood up and held out her hand and said, "come on baby, it's time for you and momma to head back", she stood up and put her hand in Penelopes.
She then looked at Derek and said, "are you toming daddy"?, he said, "now now sweetie but I will come over and see you later", she said, "pwomise"?, he got down on the sand in front of her and kissed her cheek and said, "I promise". Penelope said, "are you ready to go and have some lunch princess"?, she rubbed her stomach and said, "weady momma".
Derek watched as the two great loves of his life walked away from him as they headed back home, Melody turned several times to wave until they disappeared back into their yard. As Derek watched them disappear he whispered, "I love you both and I will make things right, I will", he then stood up and dusted his shorts off as he turned and headed back to his place to get ready for the picnic with Savannah.
