Man Of Honor-Ch 13
The next morning Derek woke up with a smile on his face, he was smiling because the beautiful woman he'd spent the night making love to was still in his arms. He leaned down and gently started pressing kisses to the side of her neck and it didn't take long before a smile graced her lips and she said, "good morning hotstuff".
Derek said, "I'll show you a good morning baby girl", she touched his cheek and said, "did last night really happen, did we make love last night"?, he kissed her lips passionately and said, "yes baby girl, last night happened and we made love again and again and again". She sighed and said, "I love you so so much".
Derek said, "and I love you" as his lips descended on hers, they pulled apart to the sound of Penelopes cell ringing, she said, "well it looks like the service is working again" as she reached for her cell. Her eyes got big when she saw, "ANTHONY" flashing on her ID. She looked at Derek and said, "i i it's Anthony".
Her heart was racing as she hit talk and said, "Anthony"?, he said, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, YOU NEVER CALLED LAST NIGHT", Penelope said, "calm down, we were blocked by water and the storm was so bad that we lost power and cell service". Anthony said, "I'm sorry that I yelled at you, can you forgive me"?, she said, "of course I can forgive you".
Hearing those words made Dereks heart drop, had he lost her, had he lost his baby girl again, after the amazing night they had together he didn't know if he could stand to be without her. Penelope said, "we'll be back home in a few hours and then we need to talk", Anthony said, "talk, talk about what"?, Penelope looked at Derek and swallowed hard as she said, "about us Anthony, about us".
Derek quietly got up out of bed and grabbed his clothes and headed to the bathroom, when he came back out a few minutes later Penelope was off the phone and dressed. He walked over to her and said, "please tell me you don't believe last night was a mistake", she shook her head and touched his cheek and said, "never, I will never ever regret last night".
He smiled and leaned in and said, "I love you", she said, "and I love you" as she claimed his lips with hers, when they pulled apart he said, "what are you going to do"?, she said, "I'm going to tell Anthony everything and end it". Derek intertwined their fingers and said, "what does that mean for us"?, Penelope sighed happily and said, "I want you, I want a future with you and everything that comes with it".
Derek said, "I want that to, I can't tell you how long I've dreamed of a future with you, a life with you, us married with a house filled with baby boys and baby girls that all look like you". She put her hand on his cheek and said, "when this is over with Anthony we will be together Derek and then all of our dreams can come true.
As he cupped her face in his hands he said, "my dreams started coming true last night, when we made love, when I felt your legs wrapped around me as we made love and me knowing that you love me as much as I love you, all of that was a dream come true". Penelope smiled and said, "we better get started back home because something tells me that today is going to be a rough day".
Derek intertwined fingers with Penelope and said, "I'll be with you, right by your side", she sighed and said, "promise"?, he brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it and said, "I promise". She said, "well then, what are we waiting for let's get this started because the sooner we get back home and I end things with Anthony the sooner we can start our lives together".
Penelope winked at him and smiled as they grabbed their things and made their way out of the room, after saying good bye to Jeffery they were on their way back home to Anthony and all of the troubles that awaited them.
