Chap. 30 I love you
After thinking a lot about it Penelope finally agreed to go out with Kevin Lynch. The man seemed harmless and that was what she needed. He wasn't a hottie like Derek, Alex or even that b***** James, but he was cute in his own way.
She was still insecure, she hadn't date many men and after what happened with James that wasn't possible for her. The first thing that she liked in Lynch was that he didn't once look her with pity at seeing her disability.
He was what she needed to build a new life or so she thought.
The first date was awkward but sweet, they went to a little restaurant not too fancy and watched a movie afterwards. He walked her to Derek's house front door and kissed her lightly on the lips.
« Have a good night Penelope, that was a really good date. » Kevin said smiling.
« I had a great time too. We could do it some other time. » she answered.
« Sure. See you. » he said before walking back to his car.
Penelope entered the house and sighed happily.
« Yeah, he's harmless. » she thought.
She noticed the lights on in the kitchen and walked in.
« Hey. I thought you would go out. »
« Not tonight… I'm tired. So were you out with the girls ? »
« No, In fact I was out with Kevin Lynch. » she said blushing deeply.
« OH. So how was your date ? »
« Great. The guy is nice for once in my life I'm not afraid… »
« Cool. Just be careful, if the guy break your heart, i'll break his knees. »
Penelope giggled.
« You're such a good friend Morgan. » she said kissing his cheek.
« I'm tired…see you tomorrow and don't worry, Kevin seems really really kind. »
« Night princess. »
He stared at her retreating back and sighed.
Penelope went on with her relationship with Kevin. Derek began to hear some rumors about Lynch and a bet and he warned his friends he really didn't want her to be hurt. She was such a kind soul; she deserved the best in this world.
« Derek, these are just office gossips, Kevin isn't that kind of guy. Believe me. He's gentle…it's not just about sex. »
« So you two had sex hum ? »
« Hem yes, it's normal after six months… I'm not afraid of him and i trust him so why not ? »
« Hem ok… I really don't want to know that kind of news. » he said uncomfortably.
« Come on you're my best friend and your sex life is so active… you can't be shy about it. »
« I… never mind. You're right it's only gossip i guess. »
« Derek I really love you but stop acting like my dad. I'm ok. I've never been happier. After what happened with James, i never thought I would allow another man to touch me but Kvin came along and he's ok. We're ok. »
« Ok, i get it. You're happy so I'm happy. And you know that I love you too right ? »
« Of course silly boy. » she said tears shinning in her eyes.
She looked at his retreating back and sighed.
