Hello lovers of fanfiction! I've been reading and reviewing many fantabulous stories so I'm going to give this writing thing a try again. This will be M/G (which is basically all that I read). I actually got part of this idea from a movie I saw on Hallmark. (I own nothing of Criminal Minds or of the Hallmark movie) I hope you can forgive grammar and all the technical stuff. And please remember to read and review.
Penelope Garcia was sitting in front of screens when the one of the buzzers for her personal email sounded off with a "Baby Girl, you've got mail." She smiled as she remembered the day she made the recording of the delicious Derek Morgan telling her she had email. It was actually his idea.
"This way you won't forget the sound of my voice when I'm away," he said with a smile. Penelope smiled back.
"Oh, my handsome sweet. How could a girl forget such a smooth, sexy voice like yours?" she said in a purr. Derek smiled, shook his head, and walked out of her office.
"Baby Girl, you've got mail," Penelope heard the tone again and she shook her head out of the sweet memory. She clicked the screen to bring up her inbox to check her mail. There were a couple of emails she still needed to check but as she scrolled, she caught sight of one with the subject reading as Key to My Lock: Singles Party from a J. Jareau. This made Penelope raise her eyes brows. Why would JJ be having a singles party? The last time Penelope checked the blue-eyed blonde was engaged to the New Orleans native, Will LaMotagne.
Without a second thought, Penelope picked up her cell phone and hit the number 2 button.
"This is Jennifer Jareau."
"Do you have something you wanna tell me, Peaches?" Penelope asked in that semi-accusing voice when girl-friends are left out of the loop of gossip.
"So I see you finally read my email," JJ laughed into the phone.
"Well, you must be okay if you're laughing at my slight delay in checking my cyber mail box. I mean we only work for the FBI, trying to catch dangerous criminals. And it's not like I'm not busy trying to search for the 4-1-1 you guys need. Or trying to keep my nails perfectly manicured so that- " Penelope started in a sarcastic tone before JJ cut off her rant.
"OKAY! I get it," JJ laughed. "I'm sorry for leaving you out of the loop, Garcie, but it all just happened so fast."
"So why did you guys break up, Jayje?" Penelope asked.
"Honestly, we just wanted different things. Don't get me wrong, I love him and he is Henry's father, but I'm just not in love with him anymore. Surely you can understand that."
Penelope thought for a moment. Yes, she could understand. After all, it wasn't too long ago that she broke up with Kevin Lynch because she knew she could never love him like she loved Der—
"Hey, you still there Pen?" JJ asked breaking her out her thoughts.
"What…? OH! Yes blondie, I'm still here. Um, so you guys are on good terms though? For Henry's sake, right?"
"Of course. Henry is with Will right now actually. Why don't you come over and I'll tell you more about this party?" JJ asked.
"Okay, Jayje. But why is this party called Key to My Lock? Couldn't think of something more creative like, I don't know, like – "
"Just come over Garcie!" JJ interrupted. "I promise I'll explain the name and everything."
"Okay. See you in 15, Gumdrop." Penelope said hitting the end button on her phone. She then started putting her babies to sleep. Before she shut off the light to her office, she looked around her office one last time. Her eyes caught hold of a picture of her and Derek looking at each other and smiling.
"Going somewhere, Princess?" a deep voice asked from behind her.
"Geez!" Penelope squealed and turned around. "Wear a bell, won't you, Hot Stuff!" she said as she lightly slapped his chest.
"My bad, Baby Girl," Derek said smiling down at her. "Where are you going off too?"
"Well Mr. Nosey, if you must know, I have a date," Penelope said looking up at him
"A date?" Derek questioned with a look of surprise and something else Penelope couldn't quite make out. "With who?"
"Just JJ, love dove," Penelope said and she patted his chest with her left hand. Derek grabbed her hand and held it there for a moment.
"Oh," he said looking relieved. "Well you be careful going over there, Sweetheart. The wind is picking up outside. Looks like it might rain."
"No worries, Morgan," she said looking up at his face. He didn't look very assured so she said, "I can text when I get there. That okay?"
"I guess," he dramatically sighed out. Penelope giggled; he was being too cute. "Just make sure you text me the minute you get there." Derek added.
Penelope took the hand that he was holding and saluted him, military style.
"Yes sir! Hot chocolate god, sir!"
Derek narrowed his eyes playfully at her. "Cute, Baby Girl, cute."
Penelope giggled again. "See ya, Hot Stuff," she said blowing Derek a kiss and walking out of her office.
"Later, Baby Girl," Derek said, "catching" the kiss and watching her leave.
SO… should I continue? Do you want more? Review and let me know, and thanks for reading
