It's too late for you and your White Horse to catch me now.
Over the last week, the case had seemed never ending. When they finally flew back to Quantico Derek had felt glad, but then not so glad knowing that Penelope might see Kevin. The last thing he wanted was for her to decide to go back to Kevin. He was working on a game plan to win her heart but then he realized he had no clue what to do. He only had been in about three committed relationships ,and that was over ten years ago. Without thinking he went to JJ's office where she was gathering up papers and about to head home.
"Morgan?" she asked confused at why he would be in her office.
"Can I ask you a question?" he asked.
"Sure." she said leaning against the back wall of her office.
Taking a deep breath he went on to ask: 'If you realized you really cared about someone who had just went through a breakup what would you do? I don't want to hurt her anymore.." his voice trailed off at the end. He hadn't realized that she'd catch on as fast as she did but all of a sudden she gasped.
"Would you be referring to someone I know personally? Someone with red hair and glasses?" she said with a grin.
Cursing under his breath about her catching on he said: "Yeah JJ, it's her. It's Garcia. I think I may be in love with her."
Penelope was on her way to JJ's office to ask her about having a girls night out with her and Prentiss when she stopped right outside JJ's office. She was inside talking to Morgan! Then she heard Morgan say: "Yeah JJ it's her. It's Garcia. I think I may be in love with her. Penelope put her hand over her mouth. She shouldn't be outside of JJ's office ease dropping but she couldn't help it! Derek Morgan, the guy she'd almost gave up on just told someone he was in love with her! Penelope slid on down the wall she was leaning against until she was sitting on the floor with a huge grin on her face. Everything happens for a reason. She thought happily. Right at that moment Hotch, who was walking toward his office stopped to look at Garcia who was still sitting on the floor. "Are you all right Penelope?" Finally she stood up and grinned some more.
"Never better Hotch Sir." She then took off skipping back to her office leaving Hotch and the other bureau employees staring after her.
The next day when the team was called back in for another case, Garcia couldn't help but stare at Morgan across the table. It almost felt like it was a dream. Him being in love with her. That's how most of her Morgan fantasies had went. Them falling in love and riding a White Horse into the sunset. After the conference was over with while the rest of them went to board the plane Morgan hung back to talk to Garcia a bit. She wasn't going on this case and he was going to miss her.
" Baby Girl if you need anything you just have to call." Derek said.
Penelope smiled at the fact he was so concerned about her: "Go and find the bad guy my love."
Before he left he tucked one of her fallen red curls behind her ear, and then he went out the door and followed the rest of the team to the airport.
