Penelope parked her car and got out and slammed the door and ran inside the house and into her room where she collapsed on the bed and started crying. Her heart was broken, she thought that Derek cared about her when obviously he was playing her, after seeing what she had just seen a few minutes earlier she knew that Derek never cared about her and he never would.
Penelope heard her cell ringing, she looked and saw that Derek was calling yet again, she hit the ignore button and tossed her cell on the bed beside her and laid there thinking. A few minutes later her cell started ringing again, she picked it up and saw that JJ was calling, she didn't want to talk to anybody so she hit ignore.
She looked down at her watch and said, "get up and get ready Garcie", she drug herself up off the bed and started getting ready, while she was getting dressed her cell rang about 50 times. After she was finished dressing she picked her cell up and checked it out, most of the calls were from Derek and the rest were either from JJ or Emily".
She headed downstairs and walked across the living room and sighed when she heard a knock on the door, she peeped out the peep hole in the door and saw that it was Kevin. Penelope took a deep breath and opened the door and said, "hello Kevin", he smiled at her and said, "are you ready to go Penelope"?, she weakly smiled and said, "yes I am".
She walked out the door and her skin started crawling when she felt his arm wrap around her, she looked up to see Derek walking up the sidewalk toward them. She looked at Kevin and said, "I will be right there Kevin", he walked passed Derek and on to his car, he couldn't help but smile when he watched Penelope brush Dereks hands off her arm.
Derek said, "please let me explain", she threw up her hand and said, "there is nothing to explain Derek", he said, "I didn't kiss Jordan, she kissed me". She laughed and said, "I saw you kissing Derek, did you forget that"?, he said, "Penelope if you will just give me a few minutes I can explain everything to you".
She wiped her eyes and said, "I'm sorry Derek but I'm on a date right now", he said, "baby you are suppose to be on a date with me", she laughed and said, "well you should have thought of that before you kissed Jordan". Derek watched helplessly as Penelope ran and got into the car with Kevin and drove off.
Tamara and Jordan sat and smiled happily as they sat down at their table at the pizza house, all they could do is laugh at how easily they were able to pull that over on Penelope. Tamara said, "welllllll it shouldn't be long before Kevin and Penelope walk in here", no sooner than those words left her lips then Penelope and Kevin walked inside and we led to their table.
A few minutes later Derek, Reid, JJ, Hotch and Emily walked inside and headed over to their table, JJ couldn't believe her eyes when she looked across the room and saw Kevin and Penelope sitting at a table together. Penelope saw JJ and the rest of the gang sitting at the table and when JJ tried to get her attention she looked away.
JJ slappped Derek on the arm and said, "what the hell did you do to her"?, Derek said, "I tried to explain things to her but she wouldn't listen to me". Emily said, "come on Derek, what happened"?, he told them exactly what happened and that after tutoring Penelope had told him that she had seen the kiss.
Emily said, "oohhhhh Derek no wonder she broke of the date, she thinks you are dating Jordan and seeing you kissing her only made her feel like she was being used". Derek rubbed his hands over his head and said, "I would never hurt her, I really care about her Em", Reid said, "I would be willing to be you that Jordan and Tamara had something to do with this".
Hotch said, "what makes you say that Spence"?, Reid said, "look at the smile on their faces and the way they are looking at Penelope and Kevin",
they all looked at the two girls and JJ said, "if I find out that Jordan and Tamara had anything to do with this I will kick their asses". Reid put his hand in JJ's and said, "well right now the only thing we have as proof is my gut feeling JJ".
Emily said, "I would be willing to bet that you are right Reid, look how happy they are about the fact that Kevin is with Penelope", Derek balled his hands up into a fist and said, "how could Jordan do this to me, I have told her on several different occasions that I am not now or will I ever be interested in her".
Hotch said, "maybe that is the problem, maybe she thinks that if she gets Penelope out of the picture that you will be with her", Derek said, "I will never be with her, not ever". Reid put his hand on Dereks shoulder and said, "Penelope is hurt right now Derek, maybe you need to woo her",
he looked at Reid and said, "woo her"?, Reid said, "yes send her flowers, send her gifts, make her feel special, make her see that she is the only one that you want to be with".
Derek smiled and said, "I love the way you think Spence", Reid smiled and said, "why don't we just try to have a good time tonight and then you can put project woo Penelope into action tomorrow". Derek sighed and said, "I can try but without Penelope tonight isn't going to be much fun for me".
Derek glanced over his shoulder and saw Penelope looking up from her menu to glance at him, when she saw that he was looking at her she quickly dropped her eyes back to the menu. Kevin reached across the table and put his hand in Penelopes, when Derek saw that he started to get up and Hotch put his hand on Dereks arm and said, "if you go over there the only thing you are going to accomplish is that you are gonna make things even worse than they are".
He sighed and said, "your right man, but seeing her with that fool is making me so mad", JJ said, "I know Derek, I know", JJ glanced over her shoulder one final time and when she saw the huge smile on their faces she thought to herself, when I can prove that the two of you were in on this I will slap those smiles off your faces.
