Derek Or Luke-Ch 9
Derek woke up with a smile on his face, he had finally gotten everything off of his chest but by the time everything was out in the open him and his baby girl had downed an entire bottle of Scotch. Penelope refused to let him go home so he helped her to bed and decided to sleep in her bed with her because he was just to drunk to make it back to the couch.
He got up and even though his head was busting he walked through the apartment and grabbed 2 aspirin and got some water and said, "this headache was sooooo worth it". He looked around the kitchen and fixed a pot of coffee, he said, "well I've got time to grab a shower' so he headed through to the bathroom and when the hot water hit his body he felt a sense of release.
Luke was all smiles as he pulled away from the bakery, he knew that Penelope loved chocolate muffins so he grabbed some and 2 cups of coffee before making his way toward her place. He couldn't believe that after all of the months of being called newbie and newb he was finally just Luke, he had worked hard to show her that he was a good person and one that deserved her trust.
Derek got finished with his shower before his clothes got finished washing so he wrapped a towel around his waist and made his way out of the bathroom and headed back through to the living room. He poured himself a cup of coffee and was getting ready to head into the bedroom to wake his baby girl up when somebody knocked on the door.
He put the coffee down on the table and made his way over to the door, he unlocked the door and pulled it open to reveal a shocked Luke who said, "Morgan, what are you doing here"?, Derek said, "I stayed here lastnight". Luke said, "where's Garcia"?, he said, "she's still sleeping Luke, is there something I can do for you"?, he said, "yeah you can tell me what happened here between the two of you lastnight, that's what you can do for me".
Penelope woke up to the sound of yelling coming from her living room, she jumped up and quickly put some clothes on and ran into the living room and said, "Luke, what are you doing home"?, he said, "the case ended lastnight and we got home about 2". She said, "why didn't you guys call and let me know you were coming"?, he said, "I wanted to surprise you but it seems that I'm the one that got surprised".
Penelope crossed her arms over her chest and said, "what does that mean"?, he said, "well I come over to bring you breakfast and spend some time with you and what do I see a half naked Derek Morgan answering the door". Derek looked at her and said, "I had to wash my clothes and I finished my shower before they were done so I put this towel on and came through to get some coffee and that's when he showed up".
Luke said, "likely story", Penelope said, "lastnight Derek came over and we talked and drank and drank and talked and before we knew it we were both drunk, like reallyyyyyyy drunk". Luke said, "and he couldn't call a cab and go home"?, Penelope said, "he could have but I wanted him to stay here so I would know he was safe".
The buzzer went off on her dryer and he said, "excuse me and I'll go put some clothes on", Penelope smiled and said, "okay hotstuff" but as he turned to walk away Luke said, "I'm not finished talking to you". Derek said, "but I'm done listening and if I were you I'd move before I move you son", Luke said, "go for it if you're man enough".
Penelope said, "boys stop it", Derek said, "I didn't start anything it was Don Juan here", Luke laughed and said, "Don Juan, seriously"?, Derek said, "take your hand off of me Luke or I'll move it for you". Penelope said, "Luke, Derek please stop this", Luke looked from Derek to Penelope and then said, "well then move it".
Derek said, "with pleasure" and pushed his hand off his arm and Luke swung at Derek connecting with the side of his face, Penelope screamed and then Derek hit Luke across the face. They exchanged several punches before Penelope threw a pitcher of water on them and said, "BOTH OF YOU GET OUT NOW", they stood there looking at her and she said, "I mean it, Derek get dressed and then I want the two of you out of here".
Derek said, "but", she said, "not now Derek, please just get dressed and go, I need some time, I need to think", he brokenheartedly said, "whatever you want baby girl, whatever you want". She glanced over her shoulder and watched as he disappeared into her bedroom to change his clothes.
Luke cleared his throat and said, "I'm sorry Garcia", she said, "yeah, me to", he then stepped out into the corridor and said, "I'm really sorry" and she then watched as he defeatedly walked away. A few minutes later she looked up from the couch and saw Derek reaching for the doorknob, he said, "I'm sorry baby girl", as the tears streamed down her face she whispered, "I know" and then the last thing she heard before she broke down was the sound of the door closing.
