Penelope was having a great time. She was living her dream; she had a great group of friends, a job she loved, and a man that loved her.

She was so lost after Kevin cheated on her she had nowhere to go. Derek her supposed best friend had made it clear he wanted nothing to do with her, JJ and Will were out so that left Emily. Boy, was she glad she went to Emily's. She was sitting on the couch crying her eyes out when John and another man walked into her apartment. Garcia didn't know Emily was expecting company so she immediately became embarrassed; trying to hide her fragile state. Emily had introduced her to John who was there from California.

That night she cried herself to sleep on the couch hoping she wasn't too loud to disturb Emily's guests. Around 2 am John came down with his laptop some chocolates and a movie. He took her in his arms and the rest was history.


He pulled her into his arms as they walked out of the bar "Tonight was fun baby. Even with that Morgan guy."

"He's not so bad, he's just been stressed lately. Not to worry, he even said he wanted to go to the game tomorrow. Maybe if Randy's arm isn't better Morgan can take his place." She opened the door to get into the car.

"You're so optimistic baby, that's why I love you." he kissed her and shut the door.


"John, you came early!" Tom said running up to him and Penelope. "Morgan got her about 30 minutes ago, he's been warming up with me."

"All Right" he said walking into the field with Penelope in toe.

Morgan walked up to the group to say hello. When he got home from the bar he was plagued with fantasies of him and Penelope in the bathroom not John. He wanted in on this point game but with her and no one else. He also thought back to all the times he was a jerk to her the past couple of months, no wonder she moved on. He knew his girl had a crush on him for years, and he loved keeping that in his back pocket for when he was ready to settle down, because that's what you did with a girl like Penelope, you settled down. It wasn't just dating, it was for the long hall. He was just waiting for her to dump that loser Lynch. He couldn't believe he might have missed his chance with her. Not after he realized Friday morning she was the only thing he ever wanted and was going to make a move on her at the bar. He lost her love and the only thing he could do now was fight to get her back.

Tom watched Penelope's cheeks turn red "Penelope why are you blushing?"

John laughed. "I'm in the lead again." He said high fiving Tom.

"Emily will be glad to hear that, she's rooting for you. Her and the rest of the team will be here in about an hour. Are you ready to do this?"

"Yeah, hey Morgan thanks for stepping in for Randy. He busted his shoulder a while ago and we've been hurting."

"Sure no problem I love the game." He said with a smile looking at how beautiful Penelope was. John turned to his girlfriend. "Behave while I'm on the field and I'll reward you later." He took her face in her hands and kissed her in such a way it made two men on the other side of the field whistle.

"You wouldn't know how to handle me if I did behave." She said when he pulled back.

"That's right!" he smacked her ass. "Go sit on the bleachers. "

"Aye aye Captain!" She said with a salute.

"Oh I'll be your captain alright." He kissed he on the cheek and moved over to Tom and Morgan.

"John, how far ahead are you now? " Tom asked with curiosity.

"Only 2 points but it was a 3 pointer." he said grabbing a baseball "I'm surprised she can walk right now."

Tom burst out laughing.

Morgan was uneasy listen to them talk. He wanted to be the one in the game with her not this John guy. Maybe John was her one? They seemed to really be in love. Nah he thought to himself, her and I are supposed to be together.


They won the game with a home run hit by Morgan so they decided to head to the bar to celebrate.

"Morgan you can take Randy's spot anytime!" John said grabbing his shoulder.

"When ever you need me let me know. I forgot how much fun it was to play on a team. I've been so caught up with work I forgot what fun was."

"Hang around Penelope more, she would never let you forget" He sighed. She had tried to include him the whole time he was Unit Chief he just kept pushing her away.

They were drinking, dancing and having a good time when Penelope started to feel weird. She needed some air. She told John she would be right back and to get her a water. He nodded and continued talking to the group.

Morgan had watched her sway a little and his protective instinct kicked in. He silently followed her out of the bar and across the street to a little park. It was dark out now and he didn't like her being out here alone.

"Baby girl, are you okay?"

"Huh?" she turned around from her position on the bench to see Derek standing there with a glass of water.

"Are you okay?" He handed her the water and sat down next to her.

"I'm fine, you should go inside and celebrate your win."

He put his hand on her knee, "I'd rather be out here celebrating with you."

She looked up at him confused "You could have fooled me the past couple of months."

"That was fair" He looked into her eyes for what seemed like forever. Nether one of them could deny the spark they felt.

Without thinking he leaned down and captured her lips, she responded instantly grabbing his collar and pulling him closer. He took the hint grabbed her waist and pulled her on top of him. He was in heaven.

Their kiss was fierce and full of pent up lust and anger. She kissed him with all the passion she had ever felt, all the anger of the past six months but also all the love she had for him.

She moved her hands to his belt to undo it. She had no time to wait and he could sense it. He moved her skirt up and ripped her panties in two, lifting her hips and slid her onto his erection. They both gasped at the sensation they were feeling.

He grabbed her chest and squeezed causing her to thrust into him. She moved her hands to his shoulder to give her more leverage. She was so close. He grabbed her hips to move her faster as he could feel his orgasm approaching. He felt her walls tighten as she dug her nails into his shoulder while he spilled his seed deep inside of her.

They were silent the whole interaction was silent. She jumped off of him stumbling backwards fixing her skirt and looking for her discarded panties.

"What did we just do?" she said in a panic. How could she have done this to John? And with a man who barely spoke 10 words to her that didn't involve a case in the past 6 months?

He adjusted himself and stood up to face her. He didn't want to think of John. He didn't want to think about anything but her. He grabbed her face and pulled her into a desperate toe curling kiss again. After a minute she pulled back. "No, this just ...NO" and she ran towards the bar.

He took a deep breath watching her figure disappear in the distance. Now that he'd had her he would never be the same. He started walking back to the bar when he saw her and John walking out to he his car.

John saw him walking up "Hey man, where did you go? "

"I needed to clear my head so I took a walk."

"Oh alright, we're headed out Penelope isn't feeling well. She's going to have to remind you how to have fun later."

Derek was taken back "Excuse me?"

"You said you forgot how to have fun and Penelope is the fun queen."

"Oh yeah… yeah you're right. Tell her I hope she feels better and that I'll call her tomorrow." He nodded and headed to his car.
