It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Samuel Butler
Emily had some bad dates before but this topped the worse of the worst. She had realized this about ten minutes into the date when he had told her he recently had to move back in with his mother due to "financial issues." If that wasn't bad enough, when he picked her up the first thing that came out of his mouth was "I've just moved you to the top of my to-do list." Emily knew from the start this guy was going to be a pig like all the rest but she didn't want to be rude so she suffered through the night. The cab pulled up to her condo around eleven fifteen and she gave him an awkward hug before saying goodnight. He looked disappointed but that she didn't care about. Men shouldn't just automatically assume that if they get a date then they get sex because it wasn't going to happen. Emily trudged up the stairs slowly, happy to be away from her date but unhappy to be alone for the rest of the night. She pulled out her cell phone, pushed a few buttons, and then waited for an answer at the other end.
"My vixen! How was your date? Why is it over so soon? Did you send this one away too?"
The questions flowed out of Penelope's mouth before Emily could say a word. She waited silently until Garcia had come to a halt and listen for a response.
"Hello to you to PG. No I didn't send him away, we went out for dinner and a movie then I came home." She explained simply.
"Why no fun stuff?"
"He was a pig Garcia. Seriously even you would have thought so."
"Ugh well you know what, we need to get you laid whether you like it or not. Either that or go buy you a new battery operated boyfriend. You've been so stressed and short tempered lately. Everyone has said so."
"Everyone?" Emily asked quickly.
"Okay when I say everyone I mean me and JJ. And now Morgan is in on the loop cause he's sitting right here."
"Garcia!" Emily yelled then heard Morgan trying not to laugh in the background. "Ugh whatever. So I guess that's a no for you coming over for wine and bitterness then."
"Oh my love I can't. It's just I knew that you had a date so I made plans with Morgan tonight. Hmm Henry is sick so JJ is at home tonight…What about Reid? I'm sure that loser face is at home reading or something. I'm sure he'd come over."
She could practically hear Garcia smiling through the phone. It had been three months since Reid and Emily were stranded in Florida together after their SUV had crashed. No one knew about their skinny dipping excursion or their extracurricular activities after that, but once they got back Garcia could tell something had happened. None the less, Reid and Emily stayed professional at work but had stopped hanging out as friends outside of that. Emily missed him a lot but had no one to admit it to but herself. The truth was after having been with Reid in the most intimate ways possible, no man could ever make her feel the same way again. He was the one she truly loved and she was still heartbroken to this day since he didn't reciprocate her feelings.
"Yeah maybe I'll call him. You and Morgan go have fun and I'll see you tomorrow." Emily said halfheartedly into the phone.
"Alright my goddess. I love you mucho! Pleasant dreams!"
"Goodnight Penelope."
Emily hung up the phone then went to change and get ready for bed. After she was done she stared at her phone for a moment while her mind and heart fought. She desperately wanted to work things out with Reid but knew there was no use. He had made it pretty clear that they should remain professional until they could rebuild what they had before. Emily put her phone down then settled into her lonely bed. It would be another restless night but she knew sleep was imperative. Emily didn't want Reid to think she was losing sleep over him. That would be the last thing she needed.
It's been three months now and even with time, Reid was still in complete agony. Emily flitted about at work, happy as can be, almost every minute of every day. It literally killed him. Ever since he had been with Emily he couldn't think straight or focus on anything except her. Emily was his kryptonite and had brought him down before he even realized what was happening. Truth was, he was madly in love with her but he couldn't bring himself to ruin both of their careers just to make himself happy. It was now Monday morning and as per usual, he was showing up late for work, sporting his new pair of dark shades that were a must after spending another night with a bottle of Jack Daniels. Reid staggered into the bull pen, slowly making his way to his desk and sitting down.
"Wow kid. You look terrible." Morgan said from behind him.
Reid muttered a simple thanks and went on to read the files on his desk. Him and Morgan were the only two at their desks which meant the girls were probably getting coffee and he seen Hotch in his office talking to Rossi.
"Wanna go get some coffee Reid?" Morgan asked.
"Sure." He said while slowly lifting his head from the files.
"We'll get you some aspirin too. Do me a favor though, lose the shades."
Reid stared at him for a moment before carefully removing the sunglasses and setting them on his desk. The dark circles from lack of sleep seemed quite obvious when he realized Morgan was staring at him.
"Alright what's going on with you kid. You're not sleeping, you haven't been thinking like your genius self, and on top of everything, now you show up smelling like booze? You don't have to be a profiler to know something is up with you."
"I'm fine just having some sleeping problems." Reid left it at that then got up and walked towards the break room. When he walked in JJ and Garcia were sitting at one of the tables reading what appeared to be a cosmopolitan magazine.
"Good morning genius boy. You look like you were hit by a truck." Garcia said.
"Morning."
Reid walked over to pour a cup of coffee and rolled his eyes when Morgan hastily walked in after him. JJ and Garcia whispered to each other quietly for a minute but stopped when Morgan sat down to join them. Reid put a packet of sugar in his coffee then turned around to face them. He thought about joining them but decided against it on the grounds that he didn't want to get the third degree. The three of them watched as Reid walked out and made his way back to his desk. He had almost made it too. Reid figured his depth perception must have been off because he walked straight into Emily, not even seeing her as he was deep in thought, and spilled hot coffee all over both of them.
"Holy crap that's hot!" Emily yelled as she tried to use her sweater to wipe the hot liquid off of her exposed skin.
"I am so sorry Emily! I can't believe I did that! I'm sorry!" Reid had quickly taken off his own sweater and offered it to her but she waved it off.
"It's okay Reid, I'm fine. A little tiny burn won't kill me. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I'm more worried about you."
Emily smiled a bit and said, "I'll be okay."
They stood in silence for a moment, neither of them knowing what to say to one another. Emily had noticed the change in Reid's behavior months ago but didn't know exactly what she could do about it. Just as Reid had realized how overly cheerful she was always trying to be now.
"Um would you maybe want to get lunch sometime or something?" Emily finally said, breaking the silence.
"Yeah that sounds good. Just let me know."
"Yeah alright."
Emily forced a small smile then walked back towards the copy room to print off papers that didn't have coffee stains on them. Reid watched her walk away feeling an instant stab to his chest when she was out of sight. He went back to his desk and sat down realizing it was going to be yet another long painful week.
What do you think? Good start? Yay? Nay? Lol Review it and let me know.
