What Doesn't Kill US-Ch 7
Derek stalked closer to Penelope and said, "1, 2" and before he got to three Dante quickly stepped away from Penelope, Derek said, "smart move", Penelope wrapped her arms around Derek and kissed him gently on the lips. Derek said, "now if I were you I would get out of my sight before I beat your ass", Dante swallowed hard and walked out of the room closing the door behind him.
Derek cupped her face and said, "are you alright, did he hurt you"?, she said, "I I I'm alright, thank God you came by", he kissed her lips gently and said,
"I thought I would surprise you and take you out to lunch and now I'm so glad I did". She smiled and said, "lunch sounds good handsome, lets go to my office so I can grab my things and then we can head out".
He nodded his head in agreement as he intertwined their fingers as they head up the hall toward her office, she goes in long enough to grab her purse and then they head toward the elevator. Once they step onto the elevator he says, "now what was that upstairs"?, she said, "that sugar shack was Dante and he is a member of my team and I have to admit that he gives me the heebie jeebies".
Derek made a mental note to keep a close eye on Dante, he put his finger under her chin and said, "are you sure that you're alright baby girl you're shaking",
she said, "he just caught me off guard that's all". As they stepped off the elevator and headed toward their car she sighed happily knowing that for the next hour she would be away from Dante and that made a huge smile grace her lips.
Once they got into the car Derek said, "baby we need to talk", she said, "about what"?, he said, "about lastnight", she took a deep breath as he said, "lastnight was". She said, "a mistake", he said, "a mistake, is that what you think"?, she said, "it was all part of the cover, we are suppose to be a married couple and what do married couples do hotstuff they have sex".
As they pulled into the parking lot of the restuaraunt Derek said, "baby lastnight was amazing, well at least it was for me, I have dreamed about us being like that since the day I called you by the wrong name". He caressed her cheek and said, "you are so beautiful and I", she said, "please don't say it", he said, "I love you baby girl".
She reached up and wiped away a tear and said, "like a friend though right"?, he shook his head and said, "no baby not like a friend, when we made love lastnight that's what it was us making love not just us having sex". She said, "Derek I", he said, "who do you really feel about me"?, she smiled and said, "well that's easy I love you".
Derek said, "and what did lastnight mean to you"?, she said, "it meant everything to me, I have dreamed about lastnight for years and now to finally have you in my life I don't want to lose you". He rested his forehead against hers and said, "you aren't going to lose me sweetness, I'm in this for the long haul and you have to believe that".
Penelope gently brushed her lips against his and when Derek deepened the kiss by thrusting his tongue inside her mouth she moaned and as they pulled apart she said, "I believe you hotstuff, I do". He said, "other than the Dante thing is anything happening"?, she said, "not so far, what about you"?, he said, "so far nothing but we are going to have to be careful".
She sighed and said, "I know hotstuff I know", he said, "we are going to have to do somethings that we don't want to do", she said, "like what"?, he said, "we are going to have to stage fights so that if the unsub is watching he will see it". She said, "I don't want to fight with you, the only thing I want is to take you someplace and do a repeat of lastnight".
Derek said, "I want that to buttttt since the unsub is only taking couples that are having a lot of trouble we are going to have to start having some fights at home". She nodded her head in agreement and said, "well since we have our first session today how about we have a little fight before we go inside that way our counselor will be able to see".
He kissed her lips and said, "I love you baby girl", she winked at him and said, "I love you to my hersheys kiss", he laughed and said, "how about we go and get some lunch". she said, "lead the way my love, lead the way", she then watched as Derek got out of the car and walked around and opened her door, as they walked toward the door to restuaraunt they intertwined their fingers causing both Derek and Penelope to sigh happily.
