Desire-Ch 13

Derek woke up to the sound of tapping, he looked to see Penelopes neighbor standing there, he rolled down his window and she said, "are you alright Derek"?, he nodded his head and said, "yeah, I was waiting on Penelope to come home lastnight but I fell asleep". She put her hand on his arm and said, "she didn't come home lastnight, maybe she stayed with her friend JJ, you know the one with the adorable little boy"?, he smiled and said, "yeah he is adorable isn't he"?, she said, "he sure is, he reminds me of my grandson Shawn".

Derek smiled and said, "thank you Mrs. Teasley, I believe that I will go over to JJ's and see if she knows where Penelope is", he waved at her as he pulled away from the parking lot. Penelope was walking through the airport and smiled when she saw 2 of her 4 brothers waiting for her, she ran into Paytons arms and said,
"ohhhhhh Pay thanks for letting me come for a visit".

Patrick said, "heyyyyyyy what about me"?, she said, "how could I forget you Pat", as she wrapped her arms around him", he kissed the top of her head and said, "you look so good P". Penelope sighed and said, "thank you so much for saying that but I know that I look like crap especially after everything I have been going through over the past few days".

Payton said, "are things with Derek any better"?, she said, "how about we head home and I promise that I will tell you 4 everything", Payton grabbed her bag as Patrick looped arms with her as they headed through the airport. Derek raised his hand and knocked on JJ's door, she opened the door and said, "oh hey Morgan,
come in".

He stepped inside and said, "have you seen baby girl"?, he said, "uhhhh well yeah she spent the night here with us lastnight", he said, "is she still here"?, she looked down at her feet and said, "no she isn't here now". Reid walked downstairs and said, "our son is finally out, I guess that the trip to the airport this morning" and then he saw Derek and said, "oh hey Morgan".

Derek said, "why did you go to the airport"?, he said, "we can't tell you anything", he said, "please tell me pretty boy, did Penelope leave"?, he said, "the only thing that we will tell you is that she is gone". He looked at JJ and said, "I've got to find her, I need to tell her that I didn't send that text message to Amber".

JJ said, "she's so hurt Derek, she has been in love with you since the first day she met you and then when you two got together at the cookout she thought that maybe you had changed but then Amber came over and". Derek said, "I know, I know, she thinks I'm back to my player days", Reid nodded his head and said, "well can you blame her, you were with Jordan, Amber and then her all withing 24-48 hours".

He ran his hand over his head and said, "I can't blame her Spencer but I've changed, I swear, I want her and have wanted her for years but one thing and then another got in the way but now nothing or nobody is going to get between us". He looked at JJ and she said, "we belive you Derek but we promised Penelope that we wouldn't tell you anything and I'm not breaking that promise, I'm sorry".

Penelope was all smiles when she stepped inside Paytons house and saw her other 2 brothers Paul and Peter, they threw their arms around her and said, "it's been to long baby sister". She wiped away the tears and said, "that it has, now where are my sister in laws and neices today"?, Payton said, "the girls are all out shopping and your neices are with them".

Patrick said, "don't worry, they will be back soon", she sighed happily as she sat down on the couch between Payton and Patrick, Paul said, "what made you decide to come for a visit P"?, she took a deep breath as she started telling them everything that had been happening. Derek walked to JJ's door and said, "can you at least tell me that she isn't with Eric"?, JJ said, "she isn't with Eric".

He smiled and said, "I will find out where she is and when I do I am going to go to her and beg on my hands and knees if necessary", Reid and JJ then watched as their heartbroken friend walked out of their house and closed the door behind him. Reid looked at JJ and said, "I believe him Jayje", she kissed him gently on the lips and said, "me to Spence, me to".

Payton looked at Penelope and said, "the next time I see that Derek Morgan he's going to get a piece of my mind and a fist in his face", Penelope blew out a deep breath as she listened to her brothers threaten bodily harm to her hotstuff.
