Man Of Honor-Ch 6
As he stepped off of the elevator he smiled because he knew that he'd get to see her, he'd get to see his baby girl and he couldn't wait, she was one of the main reasons he liked going to work in the mornings. It didn't take long before he heard her laugh and he grinned and turned and headed in the direction of her laugh.
When he walked into the lounge and stood watching as she poured some coffee into her colorful mug, she then turned around and saw Derek standing there and said, "hiya hotstuff". Derek walked over and hugged her and said, "hiya yourself baby girl, how are you today"?, she sighed and said, "amazing, wonderful and peachy keen" and Derek laughed.
Penelope said, "ohhhh are we still on for tonight"?, he said, "yep, so what's on the agenda"?, she said, "wellllll I called my friend Mona, do you remember me talking about her, she's the one that owns the dress shop". Derek said, "yeah I remember you telling me about her", Penelope said, "welllll she has some dresses in her store anddddd she's holding them for us".
Derek said, "that's great news baby girl", Penelope said, "I'm so excited angel fish, I can't wait to try on some of the dresses", Derek said, "so what will I be doing while you're trying on the wedding dresses"?, she said, "well you're going to be there with me in the dressing room and you're going to be telling me your opinion of each dress so that you can help me pick out my dress".
Derek said, "alright momma what time are we leaving"?, Penelope said, "welllllll I've already talked to bossman and he said that we could leave about noon", Derek nodded his head and said, "sounds good sweetness". Penelope sighed and said, "ohhh I never even thought to ask you do you have plans for tonight because if you do we can totally do this another night".
He shook his head and said, "nope, no plans, well other than spending the evening with my best friend in the entire world", she put her hand over her heart and said, "be still my beating heart". She hugged Derek and said, "ya know sugar shack, we need to find you a woman to settle down with, one that will fill your life with love and beautiful babies that me their Godmother could spoil rotten".
She looked up at him and he said, "sweetness right now let's focus on you and your happiness because seeing you happy makes me happy", she opened her mouth and he put his finger over her lips and said, "I've got to finish my paperwork but I'll see you here at the elevators at noon". She winked at him and said, "see ya at noon sugar shack".
Derek stood there watching as she turned around and headed back toward her office, the longer he watched her the harder he was getting and then finally he looked away and said, "she's not yours Morgan, stop lusting after your best friend". He then blew out a deep breath and shook his head as he headed up the hall toward his office to get his paperwork done so that he would be able to leave with his baby girl at noon.
Little did either of them know that a freak storm was getting ready to happen and the events that occur during the storm would bond them together in a way that nobody would ever expect.
