Derek Or Luke-Ch 8
Penelope sighed as she walked into her apartment, she toed off her shoes and said, "it feels so good to be home", she walked through her apartment and quickly changed into something more comfortable. As she was walking back through her apartment a few minutes later she heard a knock at her door, she looked at her watch and said, "who could that be"?, she walked over to the door and looked through the peephole and whispered, "Derek".
She unlocked the door and pulled it open and said, "hotstuff, is everything alright"?, he said, "not really, can I come in"?, she said, "sure" and stepped aside, letting him come in. He took off his coat and she said, "would you like something to drink, I have juice, beer, wine anddddd I have a bottle of Scotch that Rossi gave me for Christmas'.
He smiled and said, "just give me something strong", she winked and said, "I'll be right back", she came back carrying 2 glasses and the bottle of Scotch Rossi gave her. She poured some in both glasses and then handed his glass and sat down and said, "now spill it sugar shack, what's got you out so late"?, he downed the glass and poured himself another and said, "us".
She sat back and said, "us, what about us"?, he said, "I love you", she said, "I know angelfish, it's just that", he said, "I know, I know, everything is complicated", she nodded her head in agreement. He downed his glass and watched as she downed half of hers and refilled her glass before he said, "I won't give up on us".
Penelope said, "I'm not asking you to, I just, I need time", he said, "is Luke going to give you time"?, she said, "Derek are you, is my chocolate Adonis a little big green, are you jealous"?, he said, "yes, yes I am". He put his hand on hers and said, "I'm jealous of anybody that gets to spend time with you, time I missed because I was a fool".
She listened as he said, "I loved Savannah but not the same way I love you", she squeezed his hand and said, "Derek I" and he then put his finger over her lips and said, "please listen to me". Penelope nodded her head and then when he removed his finger she reached and grabbed her glass and downed it.
Derek said, "when I found out Savannah was pregnant I was getting ready to break things off with her and finally, finally tell you how I felt but when she told me I was, well I was" and Penelope said, "shocked"?, he said, "totally shocked". He looked her in the eyes and said, "I've been in love with you since the first day I met you, I mean what's not to love, right"?, she giggled and said, "right".
Derek swallowed hard and said, "all I'm asking is that you give me a chance, give us a chance, the same chance you're giving Luke, can you do that sweetness, can you give me that, give us that"?, she bit down on her bottom lip and nodded her head and whispered, "yes". Derek cupped her face in his hands and leaned in and pressed his lips against hers, at first she didn't respond but when he deepened the kiss she threw her arms around him and pulled him closer.
Meanwhile on the jet Emily said, "sooooo are you call PG and let her know that we're on the way home"?, he shook his head and said, "nahhh, I'll just go over to her place in the morning and surprise her with breakfast". JJ said, "awww that's sweet", he grinned and said, "I'm just so glad that she's finally giving me a chance ya know"?, Reid looked up from his book and said, "Luke don't get me wrong, I like you but Derek is her, well he's her" and JJ and Emily said, "hotstuff"?, Reid laughed and said, "exactly, they've been through a lot together, they've always been there no matter what".
Luke said, "he hasn't been there for her lately though has he"?, Reid said, "no, no he hasn't but he's been going through a lot with Savannah, a lot that he hasn't told anybody". JJ said, "obviously he's told you", Reid said, "yes he did and I promised I wouldn't tell anybody Jayje, not even you", she reached over and gently squeezed his hand and said, "I'm not going to try to get you to tell me, if and when Derek wants us to know what happened, he'll tell us".
Reid winked at her and said, "I love you", she laughed and said, "I know", Luke said, "we're not in a competition, me and Derek, we both just" and Emily said, "want the same woman". Luke said, "well then I guess we are in competition", Dave said, "just take things slow with her son", he smiled and said, "don't worry I will Rossi, I will".
Hotch said, "what are you going to do when Derek picks up his game and fights for Penelope"?, Luke said, "well if that happens may the best man win", Dave said, "touche kid but let me warn you Derek Morgan won't give up on Penelope". Luke nodded his head and said, "noted but on the other hand Rossi, neither will I", Dave then grinned as he laid his head back against the seat and closed his eyes.
