"You, dear friend of mine, you're too inopportune, you know that?"

Jennifer Jareau looked up from the paper on her desk and smiled as she watched her friend up and down.

She had a loose curly hair adorned only by a small red headband to match her beautiful red dress. JJ leaned her head sideways to see that Penelope was also wearing the same passion red shoes.

She raised an eyebrow curiously, "Have I interrupted something?"

"You have interrupted all, evil witch" she replied in mock anger, "I hate you"

"Oh, I do not know you had an date"

Penelope replied as she sat "That was not a date"

"Look at you, of course you had a date," she replied, pointing to her dress

"Who has a date?" Rossi asked as he entered the office of JJ "Come on, I also want to know who had a date"

"Nobody has a date," said Penelope

"Penelope" JJ said at the same time

Rossi smiled at the two women "Who was your date?" he asked to Penelope while eating a small cookie.

Then Reid came asking the question of the day "What date? What are you talking about?"

"Nothing" Penelope answered quickly

"Some lovely psychopath, ruined the night to Garcia" Rossi told him as he offered a cookie.

"Oh, sorry...who was your date?" Reid asked curious

"You had a date?" Prentiss asked, coming into the office, "Why do not you tell me?"

"Someone else will come in my office?" JJ asked, raising her hands in disbelief. She did not understand how they invaded her space in such a short time.

"Morgan" Reid said while chewing his cookie

Derek was going to his office when he stood outside the office of JJ "What are you all doing here?" he asked with a frown

"See, I told you," Reid said pointing to his friend

"Why are you all here?" Hotch asked from the doorway "The plane will take off in ten minutes. Everybody out of here"

Penelope finally got to breathe, to see that everyone was leaving the office of her friend. Then she looked up and saw that he was still there. Derek was with his arms crossed on his chest, leaning against the door.

"So it was a date or not?" he asked with a wonderful smile "What do you say?"

She rose from her chair smiling before putting a hand on his shoulder. Approaching to his ear, she whispered "I think our team of superheroes is waiting for you, love"

"Let them wait," he replied with a smile, "They can not go to fight against evil without me, do not worry"

Penelope turned away from his body "Now you think you indispensable?" she joked before approaching the door to leave. However, she did not get very far.

Suddenly, she found herself trapped between his body and the wall "Where is the smoke? Why the rush?"

"You are who should be in a rush. The plane will take off without you"

"You have not answered me," he insisted as he raised his hand from her waist to caress her neck "was a date or was not a date?"

"You were the one who called, and it is you who should decide if that was a date"

Derek released her waist to get his hands on her neck. Sometimes the facts speak louder than words. He wanted to kiss her, taste her lips.

But he was afraid too. He was afraid of spoil everything. He felt real panic at the thought that she did not return these feelings.

Then Penelope, would think twice to have a child with him. She may repent, and she did not seem such a good idea, that he was the father of her child.

Maybe he just needed a little patience. Derek smiled at that thought.

He was a patient man. He had been waiting for his chance several years. What mattered a few more months?

He could make her fall in love with him, he could convince her of his love. When their child was born, he would spend hours at her side. He was going to have hours and hours to show that the most important in his life were her and their baby.

Derek watched as Penelope closed her eyes to the touch of his lips against hers. Maybe it was time for him to stop thinking so much, and get rid of all his plans. Maybe it was time to take action...

"Morgan, what are you waiting for?" Hotch shouted impatiently from the corner

Penelope sighed loudly as she closed her eyes. Why everyone seemed to agree, to remove her from her cloud? Did they have any kind of pact and were connected by telepathy?.

"I have to go," he whispered still just inches from her lips "I dare say you miss me?"

"I'll do what I can, baby," she replied, fixing her eyes on him

"Penelope ..." He started pressing a little more against her body, "I wanted to tell you something ..."

"Morgan!"

"Hotch, I'm coming!" he yelled back

"We have to take off, so do please come here"

Derek shook his head and gave her a kiss on the cheek "I'm sorry, baby girl. Talk when I return"

"Ok" she said, stroking his face, "Be careful"

"I will," he replied.

While looking at her he approached his companions, who were waiting at the elevator door.

"Come on, where's the drama? we go to Florida, not to fight in World War III" Rossi joked, hitting Derek's back while he was still with his head turned towards Penelope "View in front, Soldier"

"Derek loves Penelope, Derek loves Penelope" sang JJ and Prentiss, Reid encouraged them while clapping.

"Guys, you are not children of five years," he said from a corner of the elevator.

Rossi could not help laughing at the image of the girls singing, Reid as a little boy excited clapping and Morgan ignoring them completely.

Hotch looked at all his companions with a straight face and a raised eyebrow "It's okay. Everyone loves Penelope" he said when the choir did not stop.

Yeah ..." Reid said before pointing to his friend and yell "But Morgan loves her more!"

Really he was going to kiss her? Penelope could not shake the feeling of the body. He had brushed his lips against hers ... But, why? Why now?

For more than eight years they were friends. For more than eight years had a very good relationship, full of flirting and shameless conversations. No one falls in love overnight. She never fell in love with him overnight.

Well, maybe. The next day she met him, she woke up thinking about him. But she was Penelope and he was Derek. It was not the same situation.

At the sound of the phone, Penelope returned to reality.

"Live from Virginia, the goddess technology. Speak and be heard"

"Thank you for hearing me. It is a detail from you attend a mere mortal" Derek joked with a smile

"I am a kind Goddess" she said "What do you need to know, my beloved slave of chocolate?"

"Slave? I hope it's sex slave"

"You can tell it, Sweetheart"

He spoke after a few seconds of silence "I called because I wanted to ask you something"

Nervous breakdown. No panic attack.

"Could we go out to dinner when we finish the case?"

State of anxiety. Catatonic.

"I-I... Is it a date?"

He smiled at the other end of the line "Yes, it's a date"

"But ... Why?"

"Why?" he asked puzzled "What do you mean?"

"Why now?"

Derek fell silent. He knew what she was thinking. She was thinking he wanted to be around his baby.

"Because I think we should talk about some things ..."

"Things? Do things about the baby?" she asked nervously, "Are not you ...?"

"Anyway, we talk when I get back, baby"

Before ending the call, he was already feeling an insistent gaze on his back, "What?" he asked as he turned to come face to face with his partner.

"Honestly? You end up with my patience," admitted Rossi before shaking his head "You and her. The two"

"Look, is not so easy"

Rossi was incredulous with a look that was like, 'Really?'

"You do not give me that look, you know it's a difficult situation"

"Difficult? Seems to me that for you is a mission impossible," he said with a laugh, "You're not like Hotch or Reid. You're sure of yourself, you know how get closer to women. Why are you so nervous about her? "

He lowered his head a few seconds "I do not want to hurt her"

"Excuse me?"

"I know myself, Rossi" he confessed with a sigh of disgust, "I hurt many women and they have ended up hating me. I do not care because none of them were something serious "

"I understand"

"But I do not want to hurt Penelope. I do not want that one day, all go to hell because I spoil it. If she hates me someday, I do not know ..."

"Yeah ... So, this is not nerves, it is cowardice" Rossi said before walking away a little.

"What? It is not cowardice," he said offended "Well, maybe yes," whispered more to himself than for Rossi "But I do not care. I'd rather be a coward and not lose her. I don't want take the risk and be a lonely brave"
