The Heart Knows-Ch 2

The next morning Reid sighs as he runs his fingers through his hair before knocking on Penelopes door, he knocks a few times before the door opens to reveal a robe covered Penelope. She smiles at him and says, "boy wonder what are you doing here"?, Reid sighs and says, "can we talk"?, she senses that something is off with her heap of gray matter and she nods her head and says, "sure, come in" and she steps back to let him inside.

He walks inside and sits down on the couch and looks up at Penelope and says, "I'm leaving", Penelope plops down beside him and says, "why Reid, why are you leav" and she said, "wait does this have something to do with Jayje"?, Reid looks at her and says, "how did you know"?, Penelope said, "I'm not a profiler but I know love when I see it".

Reid shakes his head and starts to speak and Penelope raises her hand and she said, "Reid I know", he swallows hard and says, "you know what"?, Penelope plays with her belt and mumbles something. Reid puts his finger under her chin and raises it and says, "you know what Penelope"?, tears slide down her cheeks and she says, "I know what JJ said, I heard every word".

Reid sighed and says, "y y you heard that, did the rest of the tea" and she quickly said, "no, nobody but me, I'm the only one that knows, well other than you and JJ". He ran his hand over his head and says, "I've waited so long for her to say that and when she does it's with a gun to her head and", Penelope hugged him and said, "it's alright Reid, nobody knows and if they find out it won't be from me".

Across town at Will and JJ's she's sitting at the table deep in thought about Reid, she took a sip of coffee as memories of her finally telling him she loved him filled her mind. She could see the look on his face, she knew he loved her to she just knew it and right now she was kicking herself for not telling him yes it was true when he'd asked her the night before at Dave and Frans wedding.

She was so deep in thought that she didn't hear Will walk into the room calling her name, after he called her name 3 times he leaned over and kissed the side of her neck and said, "penny for your thoughts darling". JJ jumped and said, "ohhhh sorry honey I didn't hear you come in", Will poured himself a cup of coffee and walked over and sat down beside her at the table and said, "I called your name 3 times, what's got you thinking so hard"?, she sighed and said, "nothing".

Will said, "uh huh, I see" as he took another sip of coffee, she weakly smiled and said, "about last night I'm sorry", he shook his head and said, "nothing to be sorry about you just weren't in the mood that's all". JJ moved her cup around on the top of the table and said, "soooooo you still wanting to go on vacation this year"?, he laughed and said, "way to change the conversation", she said, "I wasn't trying" and he smiled at her and said, "I was joking babe, yeah of course I want to go on vacation with my smoking hot wife and our two handsome little guys" causing a smile to grace her lips as she picked up her cup and took another sip.

Back at Penelopes Reid smiled at her and said, "so did I wake you up"?, she shook her head and opened her mouth to say no when their was a thump through the beaded curtains that led to her room. Reid jumped up and pulled his gun from his side and made his way toward the sound of the thump, Penelope jumped up and said, "wait Spencer, wait" but he was already halfway across the room.

He stepped into Penelopes room with his gun in his hand and said, "FBI FREEZE", he lowered his gun and said, "MORGAN WHAT THE"? and Derek wrapped a sheet around his waist and said, "surprise pretty boy" causing Reid to look back and forth from Derek to Penelope.
