A/N: Sorry for the delay in posting. Been busy as ever. Since the first one's format was messed up, I decided to write it over. New chapter soon after. Promise.
Penelope Garcia and Kevin Lynch had just left the retirement party of one of their coworkers. They were on their way towards the parking garage where Garcia's beloved Esther was parked. As usual, Kevin was bitching about her talking to Agent Morgan during the party more than him, and truthfully, Garcia was sick of it. She had a right to talk to her best friend, didn't she?
"Kev," she said. "Please just let it go."
He rolled his eyes. "I figured you would say that."
Garcia turned towards him. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"You always defend him!," Kevin protested. "You always say 'we're just friend's' but I doubt it. You two are more than that and you know it."Garcia rolled her eyes. "He doesn't want someone like me. He's into those tall , skinny types. Everything I'm not."
Kevin didn't say anything, but walked faster along the sidewalk towards the parking garage. Garcia tried to keep up with him, but it was useless in her heels.
"Kev, wait up!" she yelled after him.
He whirled around, showing Garcia a flash of anger she hadn't seen before. "Why should I?"
She was taken aback by his tone. "What are you so upset about? I already explained-for the hundredth time- Derek and I are only friends."
Kevin just shook his head angrily, as she walked to where he had stopped. "You honestly think I believe you?"
"Why wouldn't you? Have I ever lied to you?"
"Not over anything but Mr. Derek Morgan."
"Oh really? When was this again? Refresh my memory, would ya?"
"The other night for example. You told me you were going straight home after work because you had a headache. Guess who had a movie night with Derek?"
"Puh-leze," Garcia said. "We've ALWAYS had movie nights. Even before you and I started dating. It helps relieve the stress of a bad case."
"I can think of other ways you two are relieving your stress after work hours." Kevin spat.
Garcia gasped. He thought..her and Derek? There were no words for that. It would never happen. He didn't see her in that light, and Kevin knew it. He was just acting like a big jerk.
She gritted her teeth. "I'm heading home."She walked around him and was about thirty feet from the staircase of the garage when Kevin yelled:"What d'ya expect me to do? Walk in the freezing cold?"Garcia turned on her heel. "I'm sure that girl..oh what's her name? Jenny something? Can give you a ride home. After all, you two know each other awfully well."
Anger swelled in the pit of Kevin's stomach. Jenny and him didn't know one another. They hardly even spoke. Penelope was crazy to accuse him of such a thing. But her and Derek, now that was obvious.
He stalked towards her without saying a word. She hadn't heard them and was nearing the stairs. He knew what he could do, to make she was never Derek's. But then again, it seemed so wrong he almost shooed the thought away.
But he didn't. He was right behind her now. His hand was reaching out as she neared that first step. It was so tempting after she had upset him so much.
And then he shoved her down the flight of stairs onto the concrete beneath them.
"That'll teach you to accuse me of something, won't it Penny?" Kevin snickered.
