Derek Morgan was standing by his desk getting ready to go get drinks with the team, when he looked up and saw Garcia walking by. He smiled and was about to call her over when he noticed she was smiling at someone across the room and was completely ignoring him. So he followed her gaze and that's when he saw a tall man with light brown hair, muscular arms and a wide grin standing by the doors watching her.
His confusion and, though he wouldn't admit it, jealously grew as he watched her walk up to the man and hug him. The man wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug before kissing her head.
Just then JJ, Emily, and Reid walked up next to Morgan.
"So you ready to go?" Emily asked him as she got her coat.
"Um, yeah sure." Morgan said still watching Garcia and the man as they talked and laughed.
"Then let's go. Hotch and Rossi have already left." JJ said
"Aren't we waiting for Garcia?" Morgan asked as the others began to walk away.
"Nope. She said she already had plans." Emily answered.
"This is the third time in a row we've gone out and she hasn't come." Reid stated with a slightly worried look.
"I think I may have just found out why." JJ said excitedly with a large smile and a nod in Garcia's direction.
When the others looked over Morgan unconsciously clenched his fists, Emily's jaw dropped slightly and Reid's eyebrow shot up before he glanced worriedly at Morgan.
"Oh my god! He's gorgeous." Emily said scanning the man as he put an arm around Garcia's shoulders and the two started to walk away. "Why hasn't she told us about him?" She wondered out loud.
"Maybe he's just a friend." Reid said with another glance in Morgan's direction.
"No wonder she hasn't gone for drinks with us." JJ said completely ignoring Reid.
"Hey, um, Hotch and Rossi are waiting for us." Reid said trying to get their attention before Morgan completely lost it.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Emily said.
Emily and JJ walked out talking about Garcia's mystery man while Morgan continued to stare at where he had watched his baby girl leave. He was only vaguely aware of Reid standing next to him calling his name.
"Morgan?" Reid asked. He knew that Morgan loved Garcia, even if he wouldn't admit it, and he knew how protective he was of her. It was probably taking all his self-control to not follow her. "Morgan, it may not be too late." He said trying to comfort his friend, because Reid could tell that the scene they had witnessed was ripping Morgan's heart apart.
Morgan turned and looked at him for a second before walking off after the girls. Reid sighed and followed him out.
Hope you like it so far. The next chapter should be up soon.
