1. My Angel
Penelope Garcia sat in her comfy chair with her babies surrounding her. The computer screens blaring at her as she typed furiously on her keyboard. She was trying to keep her mind occupied. She couldn't think of her hot piece of chocolate thunder at that moment; she had work. But she just couldn't stop. She couldn't stop thinking about their friendship, and their playful bantering was practically over. Derek Morgan had made the biggest mistake of his life. He had started dating Tamara Barnes, a young sexy woman who had lost her brother on a case that had happened almost a year ago. She had just wished he believed her when she said that Tamara was latching onto him because he was the closest thing to cling to in her time of need. Her Adonis was just a pawn in the little tramp's games in taking his heart then tearing it out later.
His shocking rage, and quick retaliation when she had confronted him about it tore apart her heart. She just didn't understand why he couldn't take her advice. She was losing her best friend; her hot stuff; her reason for coming to work every damn fucking day was slipping away, and there was nothing she could do to stop it. They used to talk about everything, now it was nothing except the few chit chat's here and there when he was away on a case. Garcia wiped away a stray tear from her face before getting back to work, pulling up everything Hotch needed from her. She took in a deep breath and turned her attention to the phone, pressing the talk button and slipped her headset on."Speak to me gorgeous," she had always knew when it was Derek on the other end, how? Call it a woman's intuition.
"Garcia, you're going to make my lady jealous if you keep talking like that." his voice sent shivers down her spine and sparked that pool within her abdomen, but she brushed it aside. She almost wanted to snort, but held that back and rolled her eyes before she put on a playful smirk, and licked her bright red lips.
"Well, my vision, you know she wouldn't ever find out about lil' ol' us unless you tattle." she snickered.
"Baby girl don't make me come home and give you your well-deserved spanking." Morgan teased.
"Oh don't forget my love, its not a punishment if I like it!" Penelope retorted."Now tell me, I the all knowing Oracle of Quantico, shall make your every fantasy come true."
"Maybe later Garcia, right now I need information on a suspect named Rodney Crawford."
Garcia swung herself around in her chair, unhooking her legs from their crossed position, and grinned as she quickly opened up every file on the unsub requested by her stud."What would you like to know, my darling? The fact he was arrested for possession, selling narcotics to minors, armed burglary, or the assault charge he has against him for battering his ex-girlfriend almost to death?" Penelope grinned. She leaned back in her chair and played with her pen, completely proud of herself.
"You're a Goddess, see you soon." Morgan smiled.
"Promise?" Garcia bit her lip and smiled weakly to herself.
"You know it sexy."
"Morgan, now is when you hang up handsome. You wouldn't want me to send this conversation to your real baby girl now would you?" Pen asked, Morgan laughed on the other line. She could almost see him shaking his head, giving that beautiful smile that could stop any heart.
"Talk to you soon, silly girl." that was the last thing Morgan said before he hung up.
The newly auburn techie listened to the beeping for a few seconds longer before hanging up her end. She took off her headset, setting it down and closed her eyes. They was the first time they bantered in almost a month. Suddenly, the ache in her chest eased jut slightly. She knew it would eventually come back full force, but she couldn't stop it. She knew the ache wouldn't ever cease until her hero wasn't with Tamara Barnes. Penelope took in a deep breath. It hurt to breathe. Derek Morgan, her angel, was with someone and it wasn't her.
