Do I Know You-Ch 22
The rest of the day passed by rather fast for the happy family as Derek carried Bella through the front door right at dark, Penelope kissed the little girl on the cheek and whispered, "good night princess". Derek smiled and said, "I will put her down and then how about you and me sit in front of the fireplace and have some cocoa"?, she grinned and said, "I would love that".
She watched as Derek took the stairs two at a time and when he disappeared in Bellas room she walked into the kitchen and sighed happily at her mother in law. Fran smiled and said, "how was the picnic"?, she grinned at Fran and said, "it was amazing, it was so much fun getting to know Bella and Derek".
Penelope looked at Fran and said, "can you tell me where the cocoa is, I'm not use to where everything is yet"?, Fran laughed and said, "sure honey, it is in the cabinet right beside the stove". Penelope got up and walked over to the cabinet and got two packets of cocoa down and put some water in the kettle and then put it on the stove.
She walked over to the other side of the kitchen and pulled down two cups and watched as Fran reached up into another compartment and got a bag of mini marshmallows. Penelope laughed and said, "ohhhhhhh I love marshmallows in cocoa", Fran put her hand on Penelopes shoulder and says, "so does Bella she says, that they are fluffy like clouds".
Penelope pulled the tray out of the drawer and put the cups and marshmallows on it and stood there talking to Fran while she waited on the water to strike a boil. A few minutes later Derek walked down the stairs and found Penelope sitting on the floor in front of the fireplace very deep in thought.
He sat down in front of her and said, "penny for your thoughts baby girl", she smiled and said, "I had so much fun with you and Bella today", he laughed and said, "today was amazing wasn't it, things were like they were before". Penelope looked down at the floor and said, "I just wish that I could remember what things were like between us".
Derek caressed her cheek and said, "they were amazing, you are the best wife and momma in the world", she put her hand on top of his and said, "you are so sweet, have you always been this way"?, he blushed and said, "everything comes easy when I'm with you". She took a sip of her cocoa and said, "tell me about how we met".
He blew his cocoa and said, "well we met at work, I accidently called you by the wrong name and from then I was hooked", she laughed and said, "so it was love at first sight huh"?, he nodded his head yes as he took a sip of cocoa and said, "well it was for me, it took you a little while before you admitted it to yourself and then there was Kevin and Sam that kept us apart".
She looked at him and said, "Kevin and Sam, you mean that I didn't swoon all over you from the start"?, he laughed and said, "well we did flirt alottttt and finally after a year and a half the flirting became more and then you finally agreed to go out on a date with me and then one date turned into two and so on and so on".
Penelope put her mug up to her face and smiled and said, "and then I fell head over heals with your chocolate adonis self"?, Derek smiled and said, "what did you just say"?, she said, "I had a flash of me calling you my chocolate adonis". Derek put his hand on hers and said, "baby that's great news".
She took a sip of cocoa and said, "it just came to me out of the blue, is that normal"?, he nodded his head and said, "I would say that it is very normal but if you want I can call Reid and ask him". She gently squeezed his hand and said, "no that's alright please don't", he leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers.
Meanwhile in a North Carolina jail Thomas is brought to the visitors room, he sat patiently and waited to see if Penelope had changed her mind and came for a visit. His curiosity ended when the door opened and Tamara walked into the room, he looked up at her and said, "I'm sorry but do I know you"?, Tamara sat down at the table in front of him and said, "not yet but you soon will".
Thomas sat back and said, "well gorgeous what's your name"?, she crossed her legs and said, "Tamara, Tamara Barnes", he leaned forward and said, "and what can I do for you"?, she smiled and said, "I think we can work together for a common goal". Thomas laughed and said, "oh really and what would that goal be"?, she leaned forward being sure to show her clevage and said, "well you want Penelope and I want Derek sooooo why not kill two birds with one stone so to speak".
Thomas put his hand on his chin and said, "okayyy you have my attention, now Tamara tell me what your plan is to help us work together to get what we both want". For the next several minutes the two of them sat and talked until their full plan had been revealed, Thomas laughed and said, "well Tamara I must say you are the total package brains and beauty Derek Morgan is a lucky man".
She winked at him and said, "why thank you", she then stood up and he said, "so when will our plan start"?, she looked over her shoulder and said, "ohhhhhh honey it will start when they transfer you for court". He sat back and smiled and said, "soon I will have the woman I want and you will have the man you want but there are some things that I will need".
She said, "don't worry everything you need for your room of pleasure will be waiting for you at the designated location", he felt himself getting hard as he watched Tamaras ass wiggle out of the room. He bit down on his bottom lip and said, "soon Mandy soon"
