The next morning, Derek was first to wake up. He felt the warms of Penelope's body against his chest and smiled. His arms were still wrapped around Penelope. He didn't want to wake her up so he tried to not move much. He looked down at her, he could see her slowly breathing as her chest slowly rose then dropped. He moved her bangs from her face carefully and caressed her cheek. She began to move a little and he gently laid a kiss on her forehead As he pulled away from her, he noticed her big brown eyes focused on his. He smiled,'' Good morning, gorgeous." She smiled back, "Good morning, hot stuff." He sat up and looked at the time, "What are you in the mood for?" She shrugged and looked up at him. He noticed the sadness in her face and his smile eventually faded. He pulled her up and hugged her. She cuddled up against him and closed her eyes. She eventually opened her eyes and looked at him, "Thank you." He smiled and nodded, "Anything for you."He kissed her cheek and got and made his way out of the bedroom.
She sat there and watched him leave. She lay back down deciding to try to get some more sleep. Derek went straight to the bathroom in the hallway. He went back into the room to get some clothes. He walked in and saw Penelope sound asleep. He moved carefully, not wanting to wake her up. He grabbed clothes and a towel and headed back to the bathroom. He got into the shower.
Back in the bedroom, Penelope was twisting and turning. She was having a nightmare. Tears started running down her face. Her sobbing was silent; it eventually got louder as she began breathing heavily. Derek was out of the shower and dressed by then. He was brushing his teeth when he heard the sobbing. He didn't pay much attention to it at first. He finished and walked back to the room. He found Penelope sleeping, tears running down her face. He walked over and shook her a little, she woke up and frowned realizing she had been having a nightmare. Derek sat next to her and wiped her tears away. "It was just a bad dream." She nodded and got up. She pulled the sheets off herself deciding to take a shower. She kicked her feet off the bed and put on her pink fluffy slippers. She grabbed her robe and slipped into it. She got u and went to the bathroom. Derek decided to let her be and watched her.
She ran the water and put the toilet seat down so she could sit down. She stared at the wall remembering what had happened the previous night. She was confused; She had so many things running through her mind. Why had Kevin hurt her? She didn't deserve this, or at least that's what she thought. She was a good person, She sighed and stood up. She untied her robe and it fell onto the floor. She striped down and stuck her toes into the water to check if it wasn't too hot or too cold and then stepped in.
Derek left the bedroom. He went downstairs and into the kitchen. He opened the fridge and looked around. He sighed realizing there wasn't any food. He shook his head and went into the living room. He put his shoes on and grabbed his keys. He walked out and locked the door behind him. He got into his car, started it and headed to the grocery store down the street. As he got to the store, he pulled his cell phone out and sent Penelope a text; "Hey, mama. Went to the store real quick. Be back soon. Luv ya. –DM'' He put his phone away and walked into the store.
Penelope turned the shower off and opened the door. She reached for her towel and wrapped it around herself. She wiped the mirror and reached for her toothbrush and toothpaste. She looked at herself in the mirror as she brushed her teeth. She finished then went back into the bedroom and got dressed. She went back to the bathroom. She grabbed her makeup bag and a comb. As she ran the cob through her hair, she heard her phone buzz. She ignored it and continued to brush her hair away from her face. She reached into her bag and started to apply makeup. When she finished, she went back to the bed. She sat on one corner and checked her phone. She smiled and replied; "I'll be waiting for you upstairs, love. –BG" She sat down on her computer when she heard the door open downstairs.
Derek walked in with only about two grocery bags. He set the down on the table and then began putting them away. When he finished, he went upstairs, he knocked before opening the door. "Hey." He walked in and over to Penelope. She closed the laptop and set it aside before looking at him, "Hi." She smiled a little. He sat next to her and took her hands. "What would you like to eat?"He asked again. And she laughed a little. "Anything…" She didn't want anything but she figured Derek would make her eat at some point so she might as well eat then. He smiled and nodded as he got up. Penelope watched him. "You stay here. I'm gonna go make you something to eat." She nodded and watched him walk out of the room.
She lay on the bed, watching a movie, when she saw Derek walk through the door holding a tray. The tray was full. There was an omelet, pancakes, bacon, orange juice, coffee and what looked like cookies. She couldn't help but smile. He smirked and sat on the bed. "I could have gone downstairs you know?" he shook his head,"Doesn't matter baby girl.'' She smiled and nodded he began cutting her pancakes and pouring strawberry syrup over them. He grabbed the fork and picked up a piece and held it up to her mouth. She giggled and opened her mouth. He slipped the piece into her mouth and watched her chew. He smiled as he grabbed some ore and ate them. She smiled Back, watching him. "Not bad,'' She teased '' it's edible'' He laughed and handed her the cup of coffee. She took it from him and smiled. "Maybe you can make something better for tomorrow's breakfast?" He grinned. She looked at him and cocked a brow,'' Tomorrow morning?" He chuckled and nodded, "Mhm."
