Sadly I don't own Criminal Minds. Oh how I wish I did. then I would get my way and Penelope and Derek would be together. :)

Chapter 1.

Penelope sat at her desk watching the clock tick by as she waited for her team to get back from the case. They've been gone for two weeks and she was missing them. She hated when they were gone for to long. Mainly Derek, she always worries about him most. He is her best friend and the only one that knows her better than anyone.

She's falling asleep when she heard her door slowly open.

"Hey baby girl, we're home." Derek whispered as he entered her lair.

Looking up she said, "Welcome home handsome." She said with a little yawn. "How was the flight?"

"It was fine swettness. We're going to head out for a well deserved drinks." watching her yawn and stretch he couldn't help but smile at his baby girl. "But it looks like you're ready for bed. Do you want me to drive you home?" He asked as he sat on her desk moving a strand of her hair away from her face.

"No, I'm ok. I think I'll head to the bar with you. I could use the release." She said getting up and grabbing her bag.

"A release huh, You know I could help with that." Derek teased winking at her.

Laughing she replied "stop teasing hot stuff, you know what that does to me."

"I know baby" He replied laughting at friend. "Come one lets go meet the team."

At the bar Penelope could't help but watch Derek as he danced with some bimbo. Ugh why did she have to be so jealous!? She knows she has no reason to be. Derek was just her friend, Her best friend. Come on P stop it you have no reason to be jealous damit, Derek can dance with all the bimbos he wants to. She thought as she watched the woman grind her ass on her best friend. Him danicng with her was making her stomach churn. Then it happened, That bimbo leaned in and KISSED him. That was all it took for Penelope to loose it. She knew she had to reason to but she couldn't help it. She felt the tears start to come. She had to leave. She couldn't sit and watch some woman he didn't know kiss him.

"JJ I think I'm going to head home." she said with a heavy sigh.

"What, why the night has just begun? She asked "Come on stay please." JJ begged her best friend.

"Pen you're not leaving are you?" Derek asekd breathlessly as he came back to the table.

"I guess not." She answered rolling her eyes.

"Baby girl whats wrong?" He asked putting an arm around her pulling her to his side.

"Nothing Handsome. She said with a sigh. Go finish dancing with that girl, she looks lonly without you." She said smiling.

"Eh, she'll live. He smiled at her. I'd rather be right here with you mama." He said kissing the top of her head. God she hated being pittied. She knows he's only staying because she looks down.

The rest of the night continued the same. Derek would ask if she was ok, and she would lie and say yes. She knew he would rather be dancing with that woman, who by the way kept giving her the evil eye all night. All she wanted to do now was go home and sleep. She never should have come out. Thank god Hotch gave them the weekend off. She needed that time to forget this night. She knew now she was secretly in love with her best friend. And that scared her.

This is kinda short for now. But I think thats all for chapter 1. I'm kinda stuck. I know I'm not the best writer. I could use improvements. I keep reading other fanfics and idk I just get muy own thoughts running in my head and I need to get them out before it explodes lol. Let me know if you like this so far. I'm thinking of ways to go on with this story.
