Hello all! I haven't updated this story in a while, so I feel quite bad about that. What can I say? I have a busy life. Well, that and I had horrible writer's block, which I still kind of have. Darn.
Disclaimer: I don't own Criminal Minds. Though I do own the DVDs. And they are A-mazing!
Here We Go
Spencer and Desiree were laying in bed, fully clothed, each reading a book, when Mrs. Morgan called.
"Hey mom, what's up?" Desiree answered her phone.
"Hi Des! Your sister and I came up with this genius idea." Fran got straight to the point.
"Gee Ma, catch your breath. Did Sarah give you any energy drinks?" Desiree was suspicious.
"Just a drink of her Mt. Dew." Fran shooed her off. "But anyway, we came up with the idea that we all go on vacation. Derek knows that wonderful man that owns a hotel in Jamaica."
"Yes, but the last time he was there, the police came to arrest the other agent that was with him. I'm pretty sure the man that owns the hotel won't want Derek back there." Desiree laughed. "And who is 'we'?"
"Why, you and Spencer, Derek, Sarah, and I."
"Though I agree with your idea, I don't think Spencer wants to go on vacation with Derek." Desiree gently reminded her.
"Derek won't try to kill him if you're around." Fran insisted.
"Hold on, let me ask Spence." Desiree leaned over to find that Spencer was already looking at her.
"I would love to go. Just make sure that Derek's room isn't right next to ours. He'd probably hold a glass to the wall to listen in." Spencer answered. Desiree grinned and kissed him.
"He said yes. Have you called Derek and asked him to get in touch with that man?" Desiree asked.
"One step ahead of you, Des. He got in touch with him. We leave Monday." Fran responded.
"Monday? But today is Thursday! I need to go shopping! Spencer needs to talk to Hotch about vacation time!"
"Don't worry, Derek already talked to Agent Hotchner about Spencer's vacation time. Hotch agreed to let both Derek and Spencer go for the week. And Derek can go shopping with you two." Fran offered. Though the thought worried Desiree, she grumbled a yes. Spencer looked at her like she was crazy.
"Sorry Mom, I have to go take a shower." Desiree lied and hung up.
"We're going shopping with Derek?" Reid whimpered.
"I'm sorry Spence, but I thought it'd be good bonding." Desiree sighed.
"If it makes you happy, I'll go. But I am not going into a store alone with him. I'm pretty sure that he still wants to kill me." Reid shuttered.
"Have no fear; I won't leave you two alone." Desiree kissed him.
/Criminal Minds is EPIC!/
That Saturday, Reid, Desiree, and Derek were all walking along in the mall. It had been mostly uneventful, much to Reid's relief. That is, until they went into Macy's* so Desiree could get a swimsuit.
"What about this one?" Derek suggested, pointing to a one-piece with unicorns on it.
"Really Derek? Really? I'm 28 years old," Desire pointed out.
"I was just asking, geez girl, calm down." Derek shook his head. "Reid, what do you think Desire should wear?" Morgan raised an eyebrow.
"I think that Desiree should wear anything she wants to." Reid whispered.
"Listen, why don't you and I just go the food court? We can grab something to eat while Des looks for a swimsuit." Morgan offered. Reid gulped.
"Nah, I think Desiree wants us to stay and see her swimsuit." Reid said.
"No really, I insist, Kid. I'll pay." Morgan smirked, dragging Reid off. Spencer cringed, and gave in, sending one last look of hope to Desiree.
"Where are you guys going?" Desiree wondered.
"Reid and I are just going to the food court to grab a snack and just chat." Derek answered, finally getting Reid out of the store.
/Poor Reid…/
Derek and Spencer sat in an almost awkward silence, eating their pretzels. Derek was looking intently at Reid.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's kind of scaring me." Reid muttered.
"Oh, nothing." Morgan responded.
"Why did you want me to come down here? You can't kill me; there are way too many witnesses." Reid reminded him.
"I didn't take you down here to kill you; I just wanted to talk to you." Morgan said.
"About?" Reid pushed.
"Our vacation. I just wanted to let you know that I will be keeping my eye on you. I do trust you, but I want to make sure you don't hurt my sister in anyway." Derek threatened. Reid gulped. This was going to be a very long vacation.
A/N: * I don't own Macy's.
So there you have it. The next chapter will probably be up later this week.
Love, Sarah.
