Derek Or Luke-Ch 26
Penelope sighed as she laid her head back against the couch, Derek said, "are you sure that you're alright"?, she said, "oh yeah sugar shack I'm fine, I'm just relaxing that's all". He reached over and took her hand in his and said, "soooo about our date"?, she said, "what would you like to do"?, he said, "I was thinking about that and I've come up with a great idea".
She said, "oh reallyyyyyyy now"?, he said, "yep, how does a picnic style date on the beach sound"?, she smiled and said, "ohhhh I like that but I don't have to wear a bathing suit do I"?, he leaned in and nipped at her neck and said, "sweetness clothes are completely optional as far as I'm concerned", she blushed and said, "what am I going to do with you"?, he kissed her lips gently and said, "I have a few ideas about that to goddess" causing her to grin.
Hank got up and ran over and jumped up between them on the couch and looked back and forth from Penelope to his daddy, he then put Dereks hand on Penelopes and said, "mommy". Penelope said, "w w what did you say baby"?, he smiled and laid his little head down on her shoulder and said, "mommy", Derek said, "seems me and my son are both on the same wavelength baby girl".
Penelope opened her mouth to speak and she heard a knock at the door, she said, "now who could that be"?, Derek shrugged his shoulders and watched as she headed toward the door. Hank climbed into Dereks lap and wrapped his arms around his daddys neck, Penelope opened the door and saw the smiling face of Luke standing on the other side of her door.
He said, "are you busy"?, she said, "Derek and Hank are here", Luke said, "ahhhh, sorry I'll call you later", Derek stood up and said, "it's okay man, we were just leaving". Luke said, "are you sure"?, he said, "yeah I'm sure", as Derek and Hank headed toward the door Luke said, "I was hoping that we could go out for lunch today".
Penelope said, "uhhhhh sure, where would you like to go"?, he said, "I was thinking we could go to the park", she smiled and said, "that sounds like fun". She kissed Hank on the cheek and said, "bye baby boy", Hank waved and said, "byeeeeeee" and Derek said, "I'll be back to pick you up around 6:00 if that's okay"?, she nodded her head and said, "yeah that sounds perfect".
Derek smiled and said, "have fun at the park baby girl", he looked at Luke and said, "Luke" who nodded his head and said, "Morgan" and as Derek walked out and closed the door behind him he smiled and said, "come on little man let's go get you some ice cream". Hank clapped his hands and said, "yayyyyyyyyyyy" as they walked up the hall and onto the elevator.
Penelope changed her clothes and a few minutes later her and Luke headed out of her apartment and up the street toward the park, as they walked up the sidewalk he reached over and took her hand in his. She looked at him and smiled, he gently squeezed her hand and said, "it's a beautiful day isn't it"?, she said, "it sure is Luke, it sure is" as they walked through the archway at the park.
Derek laughed as he wiped the ice cream from his sons face, Hank giggled and squirmed around trying to get away from his dad, Derek said, "alright little buddy let's head back home because daddy's got plans with baby girl tonight". Hank looked up at him and smiled before jumping down and putting his hand in his daddys as they headed back toward the car.
Meanwhile at the park no matter how hard she tried Penelope couldn't focus on Luke because her mind was all on Derek and Hank, she loved Derek, she had been in love with him for years and when he married Savannah she thought that he was off the market permanently. The day Derek Morgan walked back into her life was the best day she'd had in a long time.
She was then pulled back to reality when Luke said, "so what's on your mind today or do I even have to ask"?, she said, "huh, what"?, Luke said, "Penelope are you alright, you don't seem to be your normal self". Penelope said, "I'm sorry, I had a night in with the girls and let's just say that the booze was a flowin and now today I'm not all here", he nodded his head and said, "are you sure that's all it is"?, she opened her mouth and got ready to tell him the truth, to tell him everything and their cells both started beeping.
They pulled out their cells and saw the text letting them know that they had a case and he said, "to be continued"?, she nodded her head yes in agreement as they quickly headed back toward her place to grab their cars.
