What Doesn't Kill Us-Ch 8
During lunch Derek had to be touching some part of Penelope, she winked at him as he slid his hand down her thigh under the table, they spent an enjoyable time together and Penelope said, "before we leave I need to use the restroom". He smiled and said, "hurry baby sweetness", she giggled as she turned and walked across to the bathroom.
Derek was sitting there remembering the amazing night that him and his baby girl had and he couldn't keep the smile off of his face, he had wanted her since the first day they met but one thing or another would always keep them apart. He took a sip of his tea and laughed to himself and thought that it was a case that finally brought them together.
He looked up when he felt someone standing beside him, he said, "may I help you"?, the woman said, "ohhhhhh yes you can", he looked at her and she said, "I've been watching you and yourrrrrrrr friend and I think that you can do sooooo much better than her". Derek opened his mouth to ask her to leave and she said, "I think that you and I should sneak out while that woman is gone".
Derek said, "I'm sorry but the woman that you are talking about is my wife", he held up his hand and said, "now why don't you get the hint and leave me alone and let me finish my meal in piece". She ran her hand up his arm and said, "I know that I can make you a lot happier than she ever could", she then pulled a piece of paper out of her purse and handed it to him and said, "call me, I'll be waiting".
Derek said, "I don't want this and I don't want to call you", Penelope walked back from the bathroom and when she got close enough she could see that Derek was talking to somebody. She stopped and listened as the woman said, "you need to drop the nerd and go with a real woman", she then looked and saw Penelope coming and snuck her number into his pocket and said, "later lover".
As she passed Penelope she turned her head and ignored her, she laughed and joined Derek at the table, she said, "who was your friend"?, he held up his hands and said, "I have no idea who that was, she came over here and wanted to give me her number and said that she could make me happier than you ever could", she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "ohhhhh".
Derek intertwined their fingers and said, "I don't want her baby girl, I want you and only you", she smiled and said, "we need to head back to work", he winked at her as they stood up and headed toward the door. Once they were outside Derek said, "this evening we could fight about what happened here today", she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "and what you walked in on when you came to surprise me at work", he nodded his head and said, "that sounds like a plan" as he opened her door and she sat down and closed the door.
About 30 minutes later Penelope looked up from her desk to see Dante standing at the door, she said, "can I help you"?, he said, "I think we need to talk", she said, "come in". He stepped inside and said, "I'm so sorry about how I acted earlier", she said, "thank you, I appreciate your apology and Dante if it happens again I will have no choice but to talk to our supervisor".
Dante nodded his head and said, "it won't happen again, I promise", she smiled as he turned and walked out into the hall and closed the door behind him, after she was sure he was gone she blew out a deep breath before looking back down at the work in front of her. Derek was talking to Charles when one of their bosses walked through the door.
Charles looked over at Derek and said, "that's the head honcho, he's really nice", Derek smiled and watched the monitor as their boss walked into his office and closed the door. Charles said, "wellllllll are you going to tell me"?, Derek said, "tell you what"?, he said, "how did it go surprising your wife for lunch today"?, he said, "mannnnnnn when I got there one of her staff had her pinned against a table trying to kiss her".
Charles said, "whatttttt, did you kill him"?, he laughed and said, "I wanted to", he said, "but you let cooler heads prevail huh"?, he said, "yeah something like that man". Derek looked down at his watch and said to himself, "hurry up 5:00, hurry up", as he sat there he couldn't help but think of his baby girl and how beautiful she looked in that body hugging outfit.
Luckily the rest of the day passed by quickly and soon Derek and Charles were saying their goodbyes as they headed toward their cars, once Derek was inside his car he smiled knowing that in a few minutes he would be seeing his baby girl again.
