I OWN NOTHING!
Garcia awoken to the smell of cinnamon and followed the smell to the kitchen where she had found a plate with cinnamon French toast. A note lay upon the fridge which read: "Went to do some last minute shopping for tonight, call you soon." –AC. As Garcia started eating the French toast she realized that she needed a new curling iron because the last one she had Clooney had chewed the wire to pieces and as soon as she set her plate into the sink, she dialed Alex's number. Alex didn't answer but Garcia received a text: "busy, meet at your place at 5 and then leave at 7 to get ready?" The only thing that Garcia texted pack was; "okay".
Five o' clock came around, both girls where crammed into the bathroom trying to start their make-up and hair processes. After thirty minutes of hard work, they proceeded to put their dresses on. Seven o" clock came around; they headed out the door in search of their gift senders. They walked into the ballroom; Alexandria was wearing a white knee-high dress that gleamed with diamonds; Garcia with a little black dress that hugged every curve of her body. They parted ways, both girls looking tremendous and both girls in search of a mystery guy. Garcia was searching everywhere for the other part to her new locket about an hour later she gave up and made her way to the bar. "I'll take a screwdriver, please." She said to the bartender. "Having fun?" come a smooth whisper, as Garcia turn to see where the meek voice was coming from. "Derek! I'm so glad to see you! Where's your date?" Garcia asked with curiosity. "Waiting for her to find me and by the way you look amazing." Derek chuckled, while trying not to let her catch him staring at her. They started drinking together, talking, and laughing with each other."
Alexandria was out in the garden searching for her secret connection when a young couple came running toward her; she lost her balance and fell into a nearby fountain. "We have to stop meeting like this." Reid leaned down to help her. Alex laughed and grabbed his hand "My dress is ruined and I'm all wet." Alex pouted. Reid took off his jacket and wrapped it around her. "Care to join me; I have a picnic set up." Reid asked politely. Alex just took his hand softly as he guided her to the blanket. They started talking about their lives, careers, and their hometowns. Reid gently grasped a hold of a silver chain with two rings attached to Alex's neck "What are these?" Reid asked with softness in his voice. "My mother's wedding rings." She acknowledged. "I'm assuming that you lost your mother at a young age? Sorry to pry but I saw your back tattoo the first day I met you and now these." Reid rambled. Alex didn't say anything just leaned over to Reid and gently pressed her lips to his cheek. "Reid!" called a very intoxicated woman with long blonde hair came staggering toward the two. "Baby, I love you." the blonde's next response loud. "I better take her home; she's way too drunk to handle herself." Reid explained. The two walking toward the parking lot eventually disappeared and Alex was left alone with her thoughts. She started walking to her car as she drove off to her apartment.
Garcia on the other hand, was completely wasted and was dancing with pretty much every guy in sight. Finally, Derek was through letting her act this way and took her home. While entering her apartment, Garcia was rambling on about her connection not showing and how she should have never believe that someone liked her. Derek was steaming so much in fact, that he grabbed her kissing her hard and rough; when something fell out of Derek's jacket pocket. Derek ran out of the apartment without saying anything and saw a metal object on her carpet; picking it up she realized it was the other half to her heart and then began to cry.
Both girls cried their selves to sleep and both were so confused. What were they to do? I guess that would have to be thought through tomorrow at work…
