" Penelope, even if I was with Carrie my mother kept saying me " your heart isn't in it, you should break up with Carrie". She had guessed before me that I was in love with you… and you were still missing."
"I just want you to really think about it."
"I know what I want Penelope and this you, only you. And Margaret of course."
"She's not your child…"
"Maybe but O love her already and she likes me."
Margaret giggled and Derek smiled triumphantly at Penelope.
"See."
He put Margaret back in her cradle and took Penelope by the hands.
"Penelope why don't you tell me what's really bothering you."
"Derek I do love you. I do but it's…."
"Too quick. I understand. I don't want to push you. I'll let you all the time you need."
"Oh your such an angel."
"I would no anything for you baby girl. Don't ever doubt my love for you and the little one." He said kissing her lightly on the cheek.
"Ok let's go downstairs I've cook something to eat."
***************************************************************************While Derek was doing the dishes, Penelope feed Margaret who quickly fell asleep; she went to her room and put her to sleep.
When she came down, she found Derek grabbing his bag ready to go.
"Where are you going?" she asked surprised.
"Well I phoned a cab. I'll go to the hotel."
"You don't have to, there's plenty of room here."
"You're sure."
"Of course gorgeous, plus we'll feel safe with you here."
"Oh this is what I'm for you. A bodyguard?" He said with mock hurt.
She smiled.
"Well I must say it's not a bad idea, such a sexy bodyguard just for myself."
"Penelope..." Derek said his eyes full of desire.
"Oh sorry." She said blushing.
"Don't be sorry, it's just… love."
"I feel the same for you." She whispered.
They were going to kiss when Derek slightly pulled away.
"We shouldn't do that. What about popcorn and an old movie, like old times."
"Definitely a good idea." She said kissing him on the cheek before heading towards the kitchen.
