From Now Until Forever
Chapter 20
Derek got ready in his bedroom while Penelope got herself ready in the bathroom but she needed help with her dress so Penelope went into the bedroom and asked "Handsome could you help me with the zip on my dress please" Derek gave a low whistle as he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the dress that Penelope was wearing, he watched as Penelope made her way across the room until she was standing in front of him she turned around so that she had her back to him and she pulled her curly blonde over her shoulder so that it was out of the way of the zip, Derek moved closer to her and bent down and placed a kiss on her shoulder and reached down for the zip and began to pull it up the tip of his thumb brushing ever so lightly against her skin.
Penelope could feel the feather light touch from Derek's thumb, it sent shivers up her spine, once Derek had completely zipped up the dress he leaned forward and whispered in her ear "Baby Girl you look like a sexy Goddess, I guarantee I will be envied by every man in town when they catch a glimpse of you" Penelope bit her bottom lip as she stepped back so that her back was now pressed against his chest, her ass against his rock hard manhood as she wrapped her arm around his neck and bought his head down so that his face was buried in her neck as she whispered "and I will be envied by every woman in town when they catch a glimpse of you my sexy Chocolate God of Thunder" Derek reached up and laced his fingers with Penelope's and bought her hand down and then stepped back and said "give me a twirl Baby, let me see you."
Penelope began to twirl around and Derek let out a low growl before pulling her into his chest and bought his lips to hers and kissed her passionately before he broke the kiss and said "we need to get going or we are going to miss our reservation" Penelope smiled and said "we can't have that now can we Handsome so if we don't wanna be late we need to go" Derek ran his hand over his pocket making sure that the little blue velvet box was lodged firmly in his pants pocket before taking Penelope's hand and leading her out of his bedroom and down the stairs and into the living room, when Penelope noticed that Fran, Sarah and Desiree weren't dressed ready to go to dinner Penelope knew that something was going on.
Fran smiled when she saw Penelope and said "you look beautiful Penelope" Penelope couldn't help but smile and said "thank you Fran" Sarah cut in and said "you two better get a move on if you wish to make the restaurant in time for your reservation" Derek laughed and said "yeah we are going now" and with that he and Penelope turned and headed to the front door and when they got out the front Penelope gasped at what was waiting for them, Derek knew that Penelope would like the surprise and turned to her and said "our chariot awaits us Baby" Penelope said "Handsome is there something going on that I should know about, I mean I know it's not my birthday and I didn't miss our six month anniversary" Derek smiled but didn't say anything as they walked down the drive towards the black limousine and to where the driver was standing holding the door open for them.
Derek and Penelope got into the limo and Penelope was still trying to work out what was going on as she looked around Derek put his arm around and pulled her close and said "Baby Girl you may as well give up because you will never figure it out" Penelope let out a sigh and said "Handsome didn't you tell me that it was just you and I going out tonight" Derek smiled and said "well Baby because I thought I would surprise you with a nice romantic dinner, that's all" Penelope raised her hand and placed it on his cheek and said "you know you are a very sweet and romantic man Derek Morgan" Derek leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers as they drove towards the restaurant.
Finally the limousine came to a stop and the driver got out and made his way to the back passenger door and opened it he saw the couple were kissing and cleared his throat and Derek and Penelope pulled apart and looked up at the limo driver Penelope blushed a little before she began to get out of the limo, once they were both out Derek took Penelope's hand and they headed towards the restaurant entrance Derek opened the door for Penelope and watched her enter and he couldn't help but smile when she took a look around the crowded restaurant, the maître de approached the couple and asked for the name on the reservation and Derek replied "Morgan" the maître de smiled and grabbed two menus and headed towards the back corner of the restaurant.
Once Derek and Penelope were seated Penelope said "this place is amazing Handsome but how on earth did you manage to get us in here" Derek chuckled and said "the owner was a friend of my dads so when I asked to speak to him I asked him if he could make sure there was a table for us and he said that he would guarantee we would get a table" just then they were approached by a man and Derek stood up and shook the mans hand before hugging him they then turned towards Penelope and Derek introduced her to the man he said "Baby Girl this is Roger he is the owner of this fine establishment" Penelope extended her hand out and Roger took and bought it to his lips as she said "it is very nice to meet you Roger" before Derek said "Roger this is my girlfriend Penelope" Roger smiled and replied "it is very nice to meet you too Penelope, but now if you will excuse me I have to get back to the kitchen."
Throughout dinner Derek and Penelope made small talk, they laughed and joked as they ate but there was one thing on Derek's mind and that was what Penelope's response would be to his proposal he was finding it hard to eat as his stomach was tied up in knots he was so nervous about what was to take place when they got back to his Mamma's house but he managed to be able to keep himself in check, Penelope had had enough she didn't think she had any room left for dessert but maybe just maybe is she and Derek were to share the dessert then that would be ok she looked up at him and said "Handsome how do you feel about sharing some dessert" Derek bit his bottom lip before replying "how about I have you for dessert Baby Girl" Penelope could feel the blush creeping up on her cheeks as she said "that sounds like fun Handsome, so what do you say we pay the bill and get outta here."
When their waiter passed their table Derek pulled his wallet from his pocket and handed the waiter his credit card and a few minutes later the waiter returned with a small black leather binder and handed it to Derek who quickly opened the cover picked up the pen and signed the bottom of the receipt and grabbed his card before handing the small binder back to the waiter and he quickly walked away as Derek stood up and grabbed his suit jacket and put it on before moving to Penelope's side of the table and held his hand out to her which she immediately took and stood up Derek grabbed her shawl and placed it around her shoulders before he took her hand and made their way to the exit.
Derek practically dragged Penelope out the door and towards the limo he saw the driver waiting with the door open and the couple quickly got in and the driver closed the door, as soon as the car door was closed Penelope straddled Derek's thighs as they embraced each other their lips pressed together in a heated kiss their hands roaming each others bodies as the limo began to drive away, it didn't take long before the limo driver pulled up at the Morgan house but Derek and Penelope were completely unaware that the limo had stopped as they were still in their heated embrace, the limo driver got out and made his way around to the back passenger door but instead of opening the door he knocked on the window as to alert Derek and Penelope of their arrival home.
Penelope broke their kiss when she heard the knock on the window and she removed herself from Derek's lap and sat on the seat beside him as she adjusted her dress, while Derek worked on getting his erection adjusted and under control so that he was going to be able to get out of the limo without being embarrassed of his arousal in front of the driver Penelope turned to Derek and smiled before saying "are you ready to get out now Handsome" Derek laughed and said "yeah Baby I am ready to get out" before he reached out and grabbed the door handle and opened the door, the driver pulled the door open and Derek got out and held his hand out for Penelope to take which she did and slid to the edge of the seat before getting out too.
