Opposites Attract-Ch 1

Penelope Garcia got out of her car and kicked the tires and said, "nooooooo, this can't be happening to me, not now, not when I have a date with the new guy at work, pleaseeeeeee don't do this to me". She pulled out her cell and looked down at the ID and saw, "NO SIGNAL" starring her in the face and she said, "great, justtttt great" as she shoved it back into her purse.

She looked at her watch and said, "think Garcie think", she looked up the road from her and saw a driveway, she said, "maybe whoever lives there has a phone". She started walking toward the driveway and when she started walking up the driveway she saw several lights in the house was on so she said, "please let them have a landline, please let them have a landline".

As she stepped up onto the porch she said, "I wonder who lives here, this place is huge"?, she raised her hand and knocked on the door and it wasn't long before the door was opening and a young blond says, "yes, can I help you"?, Penelope said, "hi my name is Penelope Garcia and the tire on my car blew and I was hoping that maybe just maybe you'd have a phone".

The woman said, "yes we have a phone", Penelope said, "would it be possible for me to use the phone"?, she looked over her shoulder when she heard the voice of who Penelope thought was either the girls husband or boss say, "by all means let the poor girl in". The blond stepped aside and said, "please come in mam, please come in".

Penelope stepped in and the man stepped forward and said, "Morgan, Derek Morgan and this is my maid Jennifer but please call her JJ", Penelope smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you Derek but I have a flat tire and I was hoping that I could use your phone to call for a tow truck"?, he said, "of course, the phone is around the corner on the desk, please help yourself".

As she walked by him in inhaled her scent and whispered, "she's the one, she's the one", JJ said, "are you sure"?, he said, "I'm sure, she's my one true mate and I can't let her go". JJ said, "how do you know for sure"?, he said, "it's been foretold that when I met my mate that her scent would make the eyes on the family picture open".

JJ said, "yes that has been said before but" and he pointed to the picture and said, "the eyes are open, she's the one", JJ smiled and said, "but now you only have 7 days to taste her essence, get her to fall in love with you and willingly give herself to you". Derek smiled and said, "so I better work fast then"?, JJ nodded her head and said, "allow me to help, I'll go get some tea that should start the process", as she walked off Derek said, "very good, very good".

When Penelope came back into the room she said, "they have a big pile up on the freeway and it will be several hours before they can get to me", Derek said, "well then you can stay here with us until they arrive". Penelope smiled and said, "are you sure, I don't want to put you our or anything", Derek said, "nonsense you aren't putting anybody out Penelope, it would be a pleasure to have you stay".

Penelope sighed and said, "thank you for your hospitality I appreciate it", JJ walked back into the room and said, "here you go sir", Derek said, "on a dreary night like tonight would you like a cup of tea"?, Penelope said, "ohhhh yes please". JJ poured her and Derek both a cup of tea and handed it to them and said, "I also brought some cookies sir".

Derek said, "thank you JJ", she said, "if you need anything else please just call for me", he nodded his head and said, "we will" and as she walked off Penelope said, "you have a huge home". Derek said, "sometimes I have a lot of guests so I wanted to have plenty of room, she said, "that makes sense" as she took a sip of tea.

As they sat there talking they went through almost an entire pot of tea and Derek said, "I'm sorry that your tire is flat Penelope, I hope that your husband isn't worried about you"?, she said, "oh no, I'm not married, I'm a single Sadie I guess you could say" causing them both to laugh as they took another sip of tea.

Penelope smiled as she listened to his voice, it was so relaxing, so sexy and she could sit and listen to him talk and talk to him forever, she then looked over her cup and said, "what about you, is your wife at home"?, he said, "no, no I'm not married, I guess I haven't found the right woman yet", Penelope said, "that's a shame a handsome man like you is single".

He grinned and said, "why thank you and it's just as much a shame that you're single, you're an amazingly beautiful woman", she reached over and put her hand on his and said, "thank you". He winked at her and said, "any time gorgeous, any time", he stood up and said, "while you wait for the tow truck would you like a tour of my home"?, she finished her tea and said, "ohhh yes that sounds wonderful".

Derek held out his arm and said, "shall we"?, she said, "we shall" and as they both started out on the tour he smiled knowing that she was already falling for him, or at least he hoped she was.
