Just Between You and Me

Ever So Gently

Penelope's POV:
Derek and I were sitting on his living room couch talking about things. I was doing all the talking while he, being a good listener, listened to my ongoing conversation.
He speaks,"You're so beautiful." I stop talking and look at him with a dazed look in his eyes. He smiles and I feel my cheeks grow hot. I stutter,"W-What."
"You're so beautiful, Penelope." I blush harder and play with my hands in my lap. He scoots closer to me and his knee touches mine. I don't look up, afraid of facing his words. It's silent for a few moments.
I dared to look at him and his eyes were locked onto me. His chocolate brown eyes and perfect face structure and firm jawline. I melted as he looks into my eyes.
I gaze into his, feeling insecure all of a sudden. Was he judging me? Derek would never do that to me. I blush again and look back at my hands. I speak,"Did you mean it."
It was silent then he tilts my head directly to him,"With all my heart." His face is inches from mine,"B-But, I'm so out of-of your league." "Oh baby girl, if only you knew how much in it you were." I swallow as he leans into me. "D-Derek, I-" "Shhhh, don't ruin the moment."
He closes his eyes and so do I thinking,"Am I really about to kiss Derek Morgan?"

Derek's POV:
Penelope was rambling on and on about her usual tech frustrations. She looked gorgeous in her white low dipping shirt and black pencil skirt with a purple band at the top with glasses and shoes to match.
I adored her gorgeous blonde hair and beautiful face. I had to tell her,"You're so beautiful." She stops talking and stares at me. She begins to blush and says,"W-What." "You're so beautiful, Penelope."
She blushes harder and looks at the ground. I smiled, loving how adorable she looked when she blushed. I look at her, absorbing in her beauty. I scooted closer to her, touching my knee with hers.
It's quiet while I stare at her gorgeousness. She looks up at me and I stare into her big brown eyes. I love the way they shimmer in the light. Her eyes dull as I look at her. She blushes again and looks down. "Did you mean it."
I pondered the question for a moment, thinking of my reply. I lift her head to face me,"With all my heart." "B-But, I'm so out of-of your leauge." "Oh baby girl, if only you knew how much in it you were."
I lean into her. She protests,"D-Derek, I-" "Shhhh, don't ruin the moment." I close my eyes and fall into her as our lips meet. Sparks flew when we contacted. I slip my arm around her waist pulling her into me, out of habit.
She places her hands on my biceps as we hold our position. We kiss again and again, the next more intense than the last. I lick around her lips, wanting more, craving her.
She opens her mouth and I slide my tongue inside. She breathes in, moaning a little. We swirl our tongues together, battling for dominance. I won and kiss her passionately as her hands tighten on my shoulders.
I bite her lip and gently pull it as I release from her lips. I realize I had laid her down on the couch and had a huge boner. I open my eyes to see Penelope's eyes shining back at me. We breathe heavily looking into each other's eyes.
Reality hits me and I jump off of her, apologizing,"Um uh, Penelope look I'm sorry ok I'm just-I-I'm sorry. I couldn't hold it back anymore and-I'm sorry. Just um-" She shuts me up with another kiss on the lips.
She releases and smiles,"Bye Derek." She grabs her pink 5c and purse and stands up. I watch her hips sway as she walks out the door and shuts it. I sit there, stunned at what I had done. What's going to happen now? What if I drove her away? What if she doesn't talk to me anymore or avoids me?
I got a text and I open it up.

Baby Girl: "You're a great kisser btw 😘"

I smile.

"Back at ya baby girl 😉"
