My Gods, I missed this so much….i missed you guys. A month without a computer has strengthen my resolve to get a laptop.
So…hopefully everyone's had a nice month, I have been plotty plotting away and have serious blue balls with fic waiting to be typed…too bad I'm a slow typist, but I can't wait to hear what you think.
Thank you all so much for the support with commenting on my stories…it's what keeps my fingers and gears movin'.
You know the drill… Reid, Comment, Enjoy!
Ashley sits Indian style on a chair, staring up at Reid as if a cat entranced by a piece of string.
Reid packs his satchel, ready to unwind from this last case, maybe finally get around to reading the complete collection of Oscar Wilde's poems Morgan had brought him for his birthday.
"Um, Reid? Would you like to go to a…bar after we get done here?" Ashley ducks her head and blushed oh so sweetly.
Reid startles, forgetting that she was even there, lost in his own thoughts.
He shutters, focusing on Ashley.
"Ah, excuse me?" Reid puts his bag down and Ashley straightens, pushing her hair out of her face.
"Oh, I- just thought… sorry."
"No, it's okay. Sorry, it just took me a minute to register. No, I wouldn't mind." Reid tries to smile; tries to put her at ease.
She only laughs nervously.
"Alright then, let me get my stuff." She flits off, as small smile splaying on her lips.
Reid's shoulders sag as soon as she rounds the corner.
"Whoa, Lover Boy." Garcia whispers in his ear.
Reid flinches; putting on a slight grimace.
"I'd expect that from Morgan, not you." Reid says with a hint of a smile.
"Are you saying you'd expect that more if it was coming from Morgan?" She waggles her brows and Reid bumps her with his shoulder. "So our resident G-man has a hot date with the new recruit?" She teases.
"Wha- you think I'm interested in…Cadet Seaver?" Reid scoffs blushing hard.
"What, are you saying that you're not?"
"I'm trying to make her feel more comfortable in our team. If she's staying…"Reid shrugs.
"You didn't answer the question." Garcia presses.
"The janitor's doing his sweep of the bull pen, rolling his eyes at the pair…always the trouble makers.
Reid looks up to see Cadet Seaver staring at him from across the room.
She gives him a mega-watt smile and he smiles back tightly…
No…
Reid shutters.
"What? The recruit's hitting on Pretty Boy?" Morgan throws an arm around Reid's shoulder, ruffling his hair.
Reid's pure scarlet now, a slight frown tugging on his face.
"Hmmm...better be careful Kid, she hasn't got her eval yet. Remember my rule about Ladies that packin'." Morgan gives Reid a slow sweet smile.
Reid's heart stammers against his ribcage.
No filter.
Reid should really get a filter.
"Does that rule extend to guys as well?"
As soon as the words fall from Reid's lips, it's as if a vacuum has sucked all the air out of his lungs.
It hurts.
It was never supposed to come out.
Play it off…
Take it back take it back take it back!
Morgan catches Reid's eye…and Reid catches Morgan's lips parting in surprise.
If Red was certain he wouldn't get decked, he's be extremely tempted to see if those lips are really as soft as he think them to be.
"Okay, Spence- Ready?" Cadet Seaver latches on to Reid's arm, pulling him out of Moran's grasp. Reid blinks rapid fire, tearing his gaze away from Morgan.
"It's Reid, not Spence." Morgan says through clenched teeth.
His shoulders tense as she drapes herself over Reid.
Who is she to hang on Pretty Boy like that?
Ashley shrinks back a bit, but never relinquishes her hold on Reid.
"Hey, Garcia…Morgan, how would you like to join us, so we can properly introduce ourselves to Cadet Seaver?" Reid raises a pleading brow to Garcia, careful not to look at Morgan.
"Alright, Pretty Boy, let us get our stuff."
"Is that alright with you Ashley?" Reid asks.
Just give me my arm back, PLEASE!
"Yeah, sounds great!" She beams, Garcia notices that her face falls just a smidge.
Garcia snorts, looking back and forth between Morgan and Reid…
She's up for a challenge if they are.
A/N: It feels good to have fire back on my tongue.
I think this should get smutty later on, what do you think…yay or nay.
Post it if you care.
