Once Upon A Straight Tequila Night

Ch 18- The Big Question

Derek's POV

I can't help but smile when I see what a great time Penelope is having, she giggles as she puts a strawberry in her mouth, watching her suck on that berry is making me hard as hell but I shrug it off because we are gonna be out of the house for quite a while. Penelope smiles at me and says, "everything is just so beautiful Derek, thanks again".

I lean over and kiss her on the lips and say, "I'm glad that you are having a great time sweetness", she laughs and says, "as long as I'm with you I am having a great time". We laugh and talk as we finish our meal, the food is amazing, the park is so beautiful with all the flowers, the birds are chirping and the weather is just about perfect.

I smiled as I pull out a CD player, looking over at Penelope and say, "may I have this dance Baby Girl"?, she grinned and said, "yes you may kind sir", he stood up and held out his hand and she happily put her hand in his. Derek helped her up and brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "I love you Penelope Garcia".

Penelope's POV

I notice Derek smiling at me, I am having a great time, I look at Derek and say, "everything is just so beautiful Derek, thanks again", he leans over and kisses me on the lips and says, "I'm glad that you are having a great time sweetness". I laugh and say, "as long as I'm with you I am having a great time", we both laugh and talk as we finish our meal, the food is amazing, the park is so beautiful with all of the flowers and the birds are chirping and the weather just makes

it so perfect.

I am surprised to see Derek pull out a CD player, he looks at me and says, "may I have this dance Baby Girl"?, I grin at him and say, "yes you may kind sir", he stands up and holds out his hand and I happily put my hand in his. He helps me up and brings my hand up to his lips and gently kisses it and says, "I love you Penelope Garcia".

Derek's POV

I pull my baby girl into my arms and she lays her head on my chest and sighs happily as You Are My Lady starts playing, I kiss the top of her head and start humming as we dance across the grass. She looks up at me and says, "I love this song handsome", I kiss the end of her nose and say, "you are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I would be lost without you".

Penelope leans in and kisses my lips and says, "I'm not going anywhere handsome, you are stuck with me forever", I laugh and say, "forever is a great place to start Goddess". Penelope wraps her arms around my waist and sighs contently as we continue to dance, I look up and notice that several other couples are now dancing on the grass across from us.

Penelope pulls back and smiles and says, "it looks like we have an audience Handsome", I laugh and say, "I guess we have Goddess", everybody is smiling and talking as they dance across the park. Penelope and I dance through 4 or 5 more songs before we finally sit down, everybody smiles and waves at us as they all walk away.

I look at Penelope and say, today has been amazing hasn't it Goddess"?, she smiles and says, "yes it has, it has been perfect handsome", I look at her and say, "well not perfect, not yet". Penelope looks at me as I pull out a small black box out of my pocket and drop to one knee and say, "Penelope Marie Garcia will you do me the honor of becoming my wife"?

Penelope's POV

Derek pulls me into his arms and I lay my head on his chest, I sigh happily as the song You Are My Lady starts playing, Derek kisses the top of my head and starts humming as we dance across the grass. I look up at him and say, "I love this song Handsome", he kisses the end of my nose and says, "you are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I would be lost without you".

I lean in and kiss his lips and say, "I'm not going anywhere handsome, you are stuck with me forever", Derek laughes and says, "forever is a great place to start goddess". I wrap my arms around his waist and sigh contently as we continue to dance, I notice that Derek is looking at something so I look up and say, "it looks like we have an audience Handsome", he laughs and says, "I guess we have Goddess".

Everybody is smiling and talking as they dance across the park, Derek and I dance through 4 or 5 more songs before we finally sit down, everybody smiles and waves at us as they all walk away.

Wow, my hands go to my mouth so as to suppress my urge to scream, tears fill my eyes as I nod my head and say "yyyeeesss I would be honored to become you wife Derek" Derek takes my left hand and pulls the ring from the box and places it on my finger, I finally manage to pull my other hand away from my mouth and lean forward and capture his lips and kiss him passionately, he slips his tongue between my lips and deepens the kiss we separate so that we don't get to carried away out in public so we quickly pack up our picnic and make our way back to the SUV.
