Armed And Dangerous-Ch 17

A few weeks later Penelopes bruises were long since gone but not forgotten as she stands in front of the mirror working on her hair, she touched her neck as memories of her ordeal filled her mind. She snapped back to reality when she heard her cell beeping, she picked it up and grinned as she read, "oh my way gorgeous, see ya very soon, love ya D".

She sighed and said, "I don't know what I would have done without ya hotstuff", she then continued to work on her hair, she was walking back through the house that she now shared full time with Derek when she heard his SUV pulling up in front of the house. Derek walked into the house and said, "goddess, goddess, look at you woman, you look good enough to eat".

Derek walked over to her and wrapped his arms snuggly around her and kissed her lips and when they pulled apart he said, "are ya ready"?, she took a deep breath and nodded her head and said, "more than ready my love". He held his arm out and said, "I hope you are ready for a night of romance cause you are getting the full Derek Morgan treatment tonight".

She laughed and said, "ohhhhh bring it on captain romance", he kissed her lips and said, "ohhhhh it's coming beautiful, it's coming" as he led her out the door and down the steps toward the SUV. He opened her door and she kissed his cheek and said, "thank you handsome", he winked at her and said, "anything for you", after she climbed inside he closed her door and then walked around to the drivers side and climbed in.

As they pulled away from the house she said, "any hints on where we're going"?, he shook his head and said, "nope, you'll just have to wait and see", she grinned and said, "you know that patience isn't one of my strong suits handsome". He laughed and said, "I know goddess, I know but you only have to wait a few more minutes", she blew out a breath and said, "alright, alright" causing them both to laugh.

Derek reached over and turned on the CD player and she grinned as one of her favorite songs started playing, she glanced over at Derek and said, "ohhhhh you definitely get points for the music". He said, "ohhhhh trust me my point board is going to be full before this night is over", she said, "you are awlful sure of yourself aren't you"?, he gave her his Derek Morgan smile and said, "only about things that concern you goddess" and then he winked at her causing her to giggle like a teenager.

It wasn't long before they stopped, Derek got out and walked around to the passengers side of the car and held out his hand and said, "madam", she slid her hand in his and said, "kind sir" as they started walking. As they started walking she couldn't help but smile as she saw a table set up and it looked so beautiful, in the center of it was a dozen of beautiful red roses.

She said, "ohhhh handsome", he said, "I told ya gorgeous tonight you are getting the entire Derek Morgan package", she giggled as they walked over to the table, she leaned down and smelled the flowers and said, "they smell heavenly". He cupped her face in his hands and leaned in and pressed his lips against hers, when they pulled apart he whispered, "I love you".

She sighed happily and said, "I love you to", he said, "would you like to dance"?, she nodded her head yes and said, "I'd love to", he led her from the table and when they stopped he pulled her into his arms and said, "you are so beautiful". She laughed and said, "you clean up pretty good yourself hotstuff", he grinned and said, "why thank you".

As the music started he pulled he close and slid his hand down to rest right above her butt, he rested his head beside hers as he started humming the music that was filling the air. She closed her eyes as his humming changed to him singing, "here and now, I promise to love faithfully, your love is all I needdddddd", she felt her heart racing as he pulled away and dropped to one knee.

He opened a small black box and said, "Penelope baby girl Garcia, I love you, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, would you do me the great honor of becoming my wife"?, she said, "yes, yes, ohhhhh yes". He grinned as he slid the ring onto her finger before standing up and cupping her face in his hands, he wiped away the tears and said, "I love you" before claiming her lips with his.
