I
would have to track you down and hurt you. And you really don’t
want that, do you?” She asked with a smile and then looked towards
Dieter who hadn’t said a word and felt her heart hurting from that
silence.
“ He would pout if you left,” Dieter told her moving in closer.
Dipping his head he kissed her gently. “I would just hunt you down
and hogtie you to drag you home and you’d stay that way until you
gave me the right answers to all my questions.”
Penny turned so that she could wrap her arms around Dieter’s
shoulders and sighed after the kiss. “I was worried that maybe you
had changed your mind about me. I felt my heart hurting because you
were being so quiet after I said what I did.”
“ I was just taking it in,” he murmured stroking his hand over
her back. “I did not mean to hurt you, Penelope, not ever.”
Squeezing her close with his other arm Dieter nuzzled her neck.
“You are too important to ever hurt.”
“ That’s good because you are very, very important to me as
well. I do after all love you.” She gave him a nod and then rubbed
her fingers over the back of his head. “Are you okay? The headache,
has it gone away a little at least?”
Shrugging he pressed a kiss to her forehead. “It is
negligible,” he told her stepping back a little. “I will be fine,”
he said with a slight nod.
“ Keep telling yourself that big guy,” James said, shaking his
head. “You’re still getting a look over by the doctors. I know,” he
held up a hand. “You don’t trust them. I don’t either and I know
they are running their own game on the side but until we have proof
or catch the sly bastards it’s only a gut feeling.”
“ And I will be in the room with them and
follow their happy asses all around to ensure that they aren’t
doing anything that they shouldn’t do.” She was after all
the liaison , so she would liaise , and make people’s lives
hell.
“ Our little pitbull,” James winked at her. “I like it.”
Sitting back in his chair he pocketed his money and leaned back to
close his eyes. “Just remember that they will have our brains at
their mercy when you’re pestering them darling. I’d rather not be a
vegetable or a brain starved zombie.”
“ Don’t worry; I won’t let them do anything to untoward to your
brains. I really love being able to hold a somewhat intelligent
conversation with you boys. Although, I might ask them to tweak
yours a bit, Pretty Boy,” she shot over her shoulder at James.
“Something along the lines of putting your dirty socks in the
hamper.”
“ I try, they just don’t cooperate,” he grinned at her. “And
what the hell is with this pretty boy crap anyway?” he frowned up
at her.
“ It’s because you’re so pretty,” Dieter told him shaking his
head. “You really need to work on your man stuff.”
“ You are my pretty boy, James, I think that you are devilishly
handsome and you could make me do anything you wanted just by
batting your eyes at me so I have to remind myself not to succumb
by calling you pretty boy, that’s all.”
“ Uh-huh, we’ll get back to that in one minute,” he said
holding up a finger. Looking at Dieter he narrowed his eyes. “What
exactly do you mean to insinuate with that man stuff
crap?”
“ I’m not insinuating anything, I am out and out saying that
you need to man up more. You are much too,” Dieter frowned and
looked to Penny. “I’m stuck on the word I want to use
here.”
“ Girly,” she supplied for Dieter, trying to hide the grin
curling her lips. At James’s horrified look she shrugged. “Honey
you use more hair product then I do. I’ve never seen so many
different shampoos, conditioners and all the other goop that you
use before in my life. I love you James, but yeah.” Her eyes
sparkled in amusement, clearly telling him she was teasing and
couldn’t wait for his ‘retribution’ against her.
