Derek Or Luke-Ch 23
When the girls all walked into Penelopes apartment she said, "I'm going to go change into something a little more comfortable", the girls laughed and JJ said, "alright Garcie" as she turned and headed toward her room. Emily leaned in and said, "so what do you think is going on Jayje"?, JJ said, "that's what I hope we find out tonight" as they started setting up the supplies for their girls night in.
As Penelope changed her clothes she couldn't help but smile as memories of her time with Derek in her office came to her mind, she could feel his lips on hers, his hands on her and she wanted more. She shook her head and said, "snap out of it Garcie, focus, tonight is a girls night in so laugh, drink, eat and enjoy spending time with your best friends" before heading through the beaded curtain to rejoin JJ and Emily.
Derek looked down at the amazing little boy in his lap and smiled, he loved his son with all of his heart and no matter what he had to do he was going to make sure that he stayed safe, happy and healthy. He rubbed the top of Hanks head and said, "hey buddy are you getting tired"?, he rubbed his eyes and shook his head no causing Derek to laugh.
He stood up and picked up the little boy and said, "how about we take a bath and then daddy will read you a story"?, Hank giggled and said, "yeahhhhhhh" as they headed up the stairs. Derek couldn't imagine his life without Hank or Penelope, he knew that things with his baby girl had been rough and he was going to do whatever it took to win her back.
Luke smiled as he looked out his window, the view was amazing, he lived across the street from a huge park, he hadn't realized how lucky he was to have his family and friends with the BAU. He admitted that starting out things with Penelope was rough but over the past few months he was starting to break down the wall of doubt and fear that Derek had caused her to build around herself.
He sighed as he took a sip of his beer and said, "you deserve so much better Penelope, so so much better than Derek", he then walked over and plopped down on the couch. He laid his head back on the couch and grinned knowing that he had another date with Penelope on Friday night and he couldn't wait to spend more time with her.
Meanwhile at Penelopes place the trio was laughing and drinking when Emily said, "sooooo PG how are things with you and Luke'?, she swallowed the rest of her drink and said, "good, we had an amazing date the other night". JJ said,"and what about things with Morgan"?, she blushed and said, "things are good there to".
Emily said, "ohhhhh come on PG we know that their is more than just good, dish it girl, dish it", she laughed and said, "I had a lot of fun with Luke he's really a sweet person". JJ said, "and what about Derek"?, she blew out a deep breath and said, "he's a whirlwind, you both know how much me means to me", they nodded their heads yes in agreement.
JJ said, "so what did you guys do on your date"?, she said, "he took me to his home", Emily said, "his home, he has a home already"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes and it's beautiful, it's everything I've ever dreamed of in a home". Emily said, "sooooo he got a home for you, him and Hank"?, she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "yes".
JJ said, "and what do you see happening with you and Derek, do you see a future with him"?, she said, "I love Derek I do", Emily said, "but"?, she sighed and said, "is this real, he told me that he had loved me for years and everytime he started to tell me something happened but now everything was perfect for us to be together, him, me and Hank" causing JJ and Emily to smile.
Emily said, "can you see spending the rest of your life with Derek"?, she smiled and said, "yes, yes I can", JJ said, "and what about Luke, can you see that same future"?, she sighed and said, "he's a wonderful man but I don't know if I see a future with him". JJ said, "are you dating Morgan and Luke both"?, she said, "well technically dating no but going out yes".
Emily laughed and said, "what's the difference"?, she threw up her hands and said, "complicated, every thing is complicated", JJ refilled her friends glass and said, "here's to complicated". JJ, Emily and Penelope tapped glasses and Emily said, "so have you slept with either of them yet"?, causing Penelope to get choked on her drink and start coughing.
