Until The End of Time

14. Uh oh

Penelope's POV:

Derek and I woke up after about an hour. I didn't even know I had fallen asleep. We woke up at the same time and we looked at each other, then at our hands. We let go and I look away blushing really hard. Derek stood up, took my hand and helped me to my feet. We stood in front of each other and he looks into my eyes and says,"I'm always here for you Penelope." He grabs my hands,"Always."

He smiles at me and I can't help but smile back. "Ok." He gives me a strong hug and walks out my office. He shuts the door and I still stood there. Oh how I love that man. I hope no one asks him about his bruise. I laugh at the thought of it and sit down in my office chair. I start working on some paperwork on my desk.

It hadn't been 10 minutes before Emily bursts through my door. "PENELOPE GARCIA!" I scream and say,"What?!" turning in my chair to face her. "Why didn't you tell me you liked Morgan?!" My face got serious and I tried to play it off,"What do you mean?" "Oh don't try to fool me. JJ caught you and him holding hands and sleeping together in this very office a few minutes ago!"

So that's where the papers came from. I thought to myself. I'm gonna kill JJ if it's the last thing I do. I look back at Emily and say,"Ok you got me!" She giggles and then asks me,"So tell me! What happened?!"

She closes the door and sits down in another rolly chair. I tell her about my dream, including the elevator part, and how he woke me up and all that. "So, if you see a bruise on his face today, it's from me!" We laugh and she asks me,"So, who's this Kevin guy?" "Oh! He's an old friend of mine. We grew up together in California but he just came up here a few hours ago and he told me he's working on the 4th floor." "Ohhh! Well I'll have to meet this guy!" I smile and say,"Ok Em!"

"Well, I should go get some work done." She stood up. "Ok. And by the way, how did you know I liked Morgan?" She stopped in her tracks and turned around. "Well, JJ told me." "Oh ok." There was a short silence between us. "But, you wanna know something?" She sat down in the chair and I say, cautiously,"Sure.."

She tells me about how her and Derek are good friends and how he tells her everything. She told me he hasn't stopped talking about me since he first saw me in the interrogation room in California a week ago. She told me how he loves my cute little face and how the dresses I wear hug me in all the right places and how he loves my fun colored glasses and how every time he sees me, he wants to just kiss me over and over again.

After she was done, I couldn't wipe the gigantic smile I had off my face. "He really said that? About me?" "All you hun!" She leaned back in the chair. I was so surprised to hear that! "Well, now I know I'm doing something right!" We laugh and Emily says,"Don't tell him I told you any of this because 1. He'll kill me and 2. He's a very personal guy so he might take a while to get to know." I smile and say,"Ok. Thanks a lot Em." "Anytime PG!"

Emily leaves and I turn back around in my office chair. I stare at the computer screen smiling and thinking about Derek. So much for a first day huh?
