Unbreak My Heart-Ch 11
Derek said, "I'm sorry Savannah I didn't mean to knock into you like that", she grinned up at him and said, "you're fine Derek", he tried to step around her and she said, "I was just coming in here to see if I could get somebody to help me". Derek said, "help you, what's wrong"?, she said, "my car won't start", he said, "I can take a look at it for you".
She said, "I don't want to bother you, it looks like you have somebody waiting already", he said, "don't worry it won't take long", she said, "are you sure"?, he took a deep breath and said, "positive". She then turned around and smiled as they headed out toward her car, Derek handed Savananh the bag containing his food before he raised the hood.
He looked up and said, "what happened"?, she said, "I was heading up the beach toward my house and it just died on me", he said, "have you been having problems with it before"?, she said, "I had a little trouble starting it so I could head to work this morning but nothing before that". He tinkered around with a few things and said, "try it now".
She walked over and put the key in the ignition and sighed as she hoped it wouldn't start, after a few tries she said, "nope, nothing", he said, "I just live up the beach a little, how far up the beach do you live"?, she said, "see that white fence right up there"?, he said, "yeah". She said, "that's where I live", he said, "I just live a little further than that so how about I walk you home"?, she said, "that would be very nice of you".
She handed him his food as they started heading back toward her house, as they headed up the sand they started talking and she was surprised to see that Derek was actually a very nice man, nothing like what Sam had described. A few minutes into the walk she said, "so Derek are you married"?, he said, "no but I am dating this amazing woman".
Savannah said, "that's great", he said, "what about you, are you married"?, she said, "sadly no but I have just started in a relationship", he said, "that's great news". She nodded her head and said, "so do you live here"?, he said, "uhhh no, I'm here on vacation", she said, "where are you from"?, they then spent a few minutes just laughing and talking about where they were originally from.
Derek looked at her and said, "so how long have you lived here"?, she said, "about 2 years", he said, "this place is amazing", she said, "yeah it's a wonderful place to live". The closer they got to her house the more attracted she was finding herself to him, she reached out and touched his arm and said, "how long are you and your girlfriend staying"?, he said, "at least 2 weeks, maybe longer", she nodded her head and smiled as they headed up the walk toward her house.
Penelope sighed as she threw the sheet back and stood up, she slipped his shirt on and headed through the house, she looked at the clock on the wall and said, "what's taking you so long hotstuff" as she made her way out onto the front porch. She sat down in the swing and sighed wondering how much longer it was going to take her man to get back.
Savannah glanced up and saw Penelope sitting on the porch, she inwardly smiled as she said, "this is me", he stopped and said, "have a good night Savannah and it was nice to meet you". She smiled and leaned in and kissed his cheek and said, "thank you for walking me home", he smiled and said, "any time", he then turned around and started to leave but she put her hand on his arm to get his attention.
Penelope stood up and instantly saw Derek, she smiled and said, "there you are", she walked across the porch and saw that Derek was talking to a woman, she shook it off thinking she must be somebody that he knows. She started to head inside to wait on her hotstuff and their dinner when she saw the woman pull her man into her arms and lean in and kiss him.
She stood there watching for a few seconds before saying, "get your things and go home Garcie", she headed back inside before she saw Derek push Savannah away, he said, "Savannah you are a nice woman but I have a girlfriend, one that I care a lot about". She held up her hand and said, "I'm so sorry I don't know what got into me".
He said, "it's okay but I've really got to go", she stepped inside the house and smiled as she watched Derek heading up the beach, she pulled out her cell and sent a text to Sam that simply said, "PLAN WORKING, SEE YA SOON LOVER". Derek walked into his house with a smile on his face and he said, "baby girl, sorry it took me so long but" and when he stepped into the room he saw that Penelope wasn't there".
He walked into the room and said, "Penelope, baby are you here"?, after not getting a response he shook his head and walked toward the door, he looked off the porch and saw lights on at her place so he grabbed the food and headed up the beach. Penelope was wiping the tears away that were streaming down her face as she heard a knock on her door.
She ignored it, or she tried to, Derek kept knocking and saying, "baby please let me in", she walked to the door and said, "not tonight Derek, I, I, I just can't",
he said, "please let me in". She said, "I saw you Derek, I saw you kissing that, that woman", he said, "if you'll let me in I can explain everything, she said, "not tonight, I'm exhausted, maybe we can talk tomorrow'.
Derek said, "don't do this baby, please let me in, I can explain that it wasn't what it looked like", she jerked the door open and said, "not what it looked like, well let me tell you what it looked like". He opened his mouth and she said, "no Derek, you listen to me, I just ended a relationship because of cheating", he shook his head and said, "I didn't do anything".
She said, "I saw you kissing that woman", Derek said, "Savannah kissed me", she crossed her arms over her chest and said, "ohhhhh Savannah huh"?, he stepped inside anmd said, "please just listen to me". She said, "I don't want to listen to you, I want you to go home and leav" he put the food down and pulled her into his arms and passionately kissed her lips, thus ending any arguing that was going on.
