Summer Rental-Ch 9
Savannah smiled happily as she put the last of the food into the basket, she couldn't wait to spend some time with Derek and woo him back, she closed the lid and turned and headed through to her bedroom to change. Derek sighed as he stepped out of the shower and dried off, he didn't want to spend the afternoon with Savannah he wanted to spend it with Penelope and Melody.
He slipped his shorts and shirt on and slid his shoes on his feet before heading out his back door, he walked through the san to Savannahs place and stepped uneasily up onto her porch. He took a deep breath as he raised his hand to knock on the door, she said, "come innnnnnn" as she walked through the house to the kitchen to grab the basket.
He said, "you look beautiful", she said, "why thank you and might I say you look handsome yourself", he said, "are you ready to head out"?, she said, "yep, I'm ready, willing and oh soooo able to make this a memorable night". He said, "Savannah I need to" and she handed him the basket and said, "soooooo where are we going to have our picnic"?, he said, "there is a great cove up the beach, I thought that we would have it there".
She smiled and said, "that sounds very nice" and ohhhhhhhhh so romantic she thought as she hooked her arm through his as they headed out to his car", she said,
"how long will it take us to get there"?, he said, "not long maybe 15 to 20 minutes". She smiled and said, "that's excellent" as she latched her belt and then looked lovingly into his eyes.
Derek started the car and glanced one final time at Penelopes place before putting the car in drive and backing out of the driveway, as they pulled away all that Savannah could do was smile knowing that her and Derek were finally going to be alone. She rested her hand on her purse and smiled knowing that what she carried in her purse was going to be more than enough to help bring her and Derek together.
Penelope looked down at her daughter and grinned as she was finishing up her ants on a log, she then wiped her mouth and said, "how about you and momma watch a movie, how does that sound"?, she said, "Memo"?, she laughed and said, "Nemo it is". She helped Melody down out of her booster seat and held out her hand and grinned as Melody slid her little hand in hers as they headed through to the living room.
Melody laid down in Penelopes lap and rested her head against her chest and yawned as the movie started, Penelope knew that it wouldn't be long before her little girl would be sound asleep. She wrapped her arms around her daughter and said, "mommy loves you", Melody looked up and yawned again and said, "I lub you to momma".
Penelope hit play on the remote and smiled as the movie started playing on the screen, the entire time she sat there watching the movie all she could think about was Derek and Savannah". Derek pulled up and shut the motor off and got out and walked around to Savannahs side of the car, after opening her door she happily put her hand in his.
She stepped aside to let him get the picnic basket, he said, "what did you pack in here"? she grinned and said, "fried chicken, potato salad, garden salad,
bread, fruit, wine and for dessert I have chocolate chip cheese cake". He said, "it all sounds delicious but". Savannah said, "no buts my love, no buts let's get this picnic started".
Derek smiled and nodded his head yes as they headed out toward the cove, the closer to the cove they got he inwardly smiled knowing that the sooner this picnic was over the sooner he could get to his girls. When they finally made it to the cove she handed him the blanket and stood back while he spread it over the warm sand.
Penelope kissed the top of her daughters head and smiled as she carried her up the stairs and put her in her big girl bed, she smiled as she turned and headed toward the door. She stopped and said, "mommy loves you" before walking out into the hall, she sighed as she headed to her private bathroom to finally finish with the unpacking.
Savannah smiled as Derek opened the wine and poured them both a glass as they started eating the delicious food, Savannah waited until Derek wasn't paying attention to anything but the waves when Savannah slipped a little something into his drink. She swirled around the drug in his wine and scooted over to him and said, "here you go handsome".
He took the glass and said, "thanks, sorry I guess my mind is somewhere else", she said, "why don't we just sit and watch the waves and drink our wine"?, he smiled and said, "I like that idea". She tapped their glasses together and inwardly smiled as she watched him down half of his glass, she sat there patiently waiting for the fireworks to start.
