Desire-Ch 16

A few hours later Derek is flying across the US hoping to win his baby girl back, as he laid his head back he couldn't help but smile as memories of their last night together filled his mind. He knew that it might take a while for him to change her mind but he knew that his life wasn't complete without her and he was going to do everything he can to make her see that he wants her and only her.

Amber was sitting at home trying to figure out what was happening, if Derek sent the text why did he deny it, she was about to get up and grab her a beer when her cell rang. She picked it up and didn't recognize the number but decided to answer it anyway, she said, "hello", the voice on the other end said, "Amber this is Eric, Penelopes boyfriend".

She said, "ohhhhhh hey Eric, how are you"?, he said, "I'm good, I'm out of town on business right now I'm in California", she said, "that sounds nice", he said,
"it's beautiful here". Eric said, "the reason I called was to let you know that Derek is flying out here now to try to take Penelope away from me", Amber put her hands on her hips and said, "he belongs with me and Penelope belongs with you".

Eric said, "I agree with you but if you were here maybe you could help me keep them apart", she said ,"I would love to come", he said, "don't worry about a ticket,
it's already been taken care of". She said, "thank you Eric, you are a great guy", he said, "I'm glad that you can see that it's just going to take a while for me to convince Penelope that she belongs with me and not Derek".

Amber said, "so that must have been her at his place Saturday night", he said, "it was, they have been sneaking around having sex since and counting the night of the cookout". She said, "how do you know that"?, he said, "I saw them getting it on in the bathroom", she said, "well we have to do whatever it takes to keep them apart".

Eric grinned and said, "I agree with you partner", she smiled and said, "will you be at the airport to meet me when I land"?, he said, "of course I will and we will have to make up a story about your family and we will have to make it believable". She said, "that won't be any problem because my family will back me in anything I say".

He said, "good, very good, well you need to pack and be at the airport by 4:00", she said, "I guess I'll be seeing you in a few hours then", he smiled and said, "see you soon partner, see you soon" and then the call ended. He smiled as he stood there looking out the window, he said, "it isn't going to be easy to keep me and Penelope apart and you are about to find that out".

He dialed Penelopes cell and said, "it's time for a surprise visit from me", after a few rings she said, "hi honey", he said, "hey sweetie, I have the day off from my meeting so I flew a few hours to spend the day with my girl". She said, "that's great", he could tell by her voice that she didn't mean it, he said, "if you can text me your brothers address I will be there as soon as possible".

She said, "I'll text it right to you", he said, "I love you beautiful and I can't wait to see you again and hold you in my arms and kiss those beautiful full lips of yours". Shelly came into the room and said, "P can you help me with the twins", she said, "sure thing Shell", she said, "well Eric I will see you when you get here".

He smiled and said, "see you soon baby", after the call ended he said, "the next part of my plan is getting ready to begin and now I need to get to Paytons place before Derek does. He laughed as he grabbed the keys for his rental car as he made his way out the door, a few minutes later he was pulling away from the curb with a huge smile on his face.

The ride to Paytons didn't take long and soon he was knocking on the door, Payton opened the door and said, "can I help you"?, he held out his hand and said,
"yes, my names Eric, I'm Penelopes boyfriend". He held out his hand and said, "I'm Penelopes brother Payton, won't you come in", he stepped inside the house and said, "P Erics here", she took a deep breath as she walked through the house.

He walked over and kissed her lips passionately as he wrapped his arms around her, when they pulled apart he said, "ohhhhh I've missed you", she laid her head down on his shoulder and said, "I've missed you to". About an hour later they were all sitting there laughing and talking when there was another knock at the door.

Payton walked over and opened the door and said, "may I help you"?, he said, "yes my name is Derek Morgan and I'm here to see Penelope", Payton said, "you are the one that broke my sisters heart" and before Derek could say anything in his defense Paytons fist connected with the side of his face causing Penelope to scream as she ran across the room.
