Picnic fun!
Dave and JJ quickly moved out of the way, but once the other passengers could walk through, the six friends continued to stare at each other surprised.
"Now, that I call unexpected!" Garcia said beaming at her friends. JJ smiled somehow a bit embarrassed and surprised to see all her colleagues, minus Hotch, in a train in London.
"Seems like your plan not to see us didn't work out so well," Alex teased and Spencer nudged her in the side, but she just shrugged her shoulders. "JJ…what was really going on with you and Will?" the brunette asked more serious.
"Will and I broke up…and for the last six months, I had an affair with Dave." JJ said and it seemed like she expected them to judge her, that she had an affair with Rossi.
"Oh my blonde beauty, I'm sorry! But we knew that you and Will weren't happy anymore, if Rossi makes you happy, then we are too!" Garcia said and Morgan, Spencer and Alex agreed with her.
"Hey, did you know that statistically 70 percent of people working together have an affair with one of their colleagues and interesting is that-" Spencer was silenced by Alex's lips when she leaned up to avoid him from rambling on in a very unsuitable moment.
"Hallelujah there is a way to shut him up! Thank you very much Alex!" Rossi said and she stopped kissing him with a smile on her face, but Spencer gave her a peck on the lips.
"That is a really nice way indeed." he said and his friends laughed.
"And since when are you two together? I knew it for sure since your bad try to cover the phone when we talked a week ago." JJ said, she didn't really want to talk about Will now and the others understood. Alex blushed and Rossi wiggled his eyebrows, while Reid grinned at the memory of that night.
"Nearly two years." Spencer then answered her question, laying his arms back around Alex's waist and kissed her cheek.
"Aren't these two sweet?" Garcia said and Derek shook his head at her comment.
"Says the right one, did you two know that baby girl and chocolate thunder are together since five months?" Alex asked.
"No I didn't, but that was about time!" JJ said smiling at Garcia who beamed up at her Adonis, who leaned down to kiss her. "And what are you doing now?" she then asked.
"We were about to go to the London Dungeon and you two?" Morgan asked and Rossi sighed before he led his head hang.
"JJ was about to drag me in there too." he said totally excited.
"Oh my god, that is so cool! We can all go together!" Garcia cheered and Derek kissed her again. Sometimes his girlfriend was a little too enthusiastic, but that was what he loved about her.
"Oh, yeah, great." Rossi said and JJ hit his shoulder playfully.
"He's just grumpy because I insisted on taking the subway-"
"In England it's the underground!" Spencer interjected but JJ only shook her head.
"Pardon me, the underground." she finished and took Rossi's hand.
"No, I just don't want to go to the London Dungeon, damn you Emily." he mumbled. Morgan chuckled.
"So you're also a victim of her plans?" he asked "We were all somehow lured into this vacation." he said and pointed to him and Penny as well as to Reid and Alex.
"Should have known that earlier, this was too much of a coincidence," Dave stated. "Somebody saw Hotch?" he then asked, somewhat hopefully that maybe when their boss was here, he would tell them that they wouldn't go to this place. And most important, that his friends would listen to him, being their boss and all.
"No, but he really did that trip with Jack, maybe Emily knew about that and decided to leave him be, spending time with Jack." Penelope answered. Then it was time for them to get out and walk to the London Dungeon, with every step it seemed that Rossi's and Spencer's disinterest in visiting the attraction grew.
"Come on Spence…don't be such a fun killer! This is London's history represented in a really interesting way." Alex tried to convince her boyfriend.
"Then let's go to a museum, there we can have the same." he argued back.
"Never thought I'd say that, but I'm on his side!" Dave said and Alex rolled her eyes.
"Did you two even know what the London Dungeon is?" JJ asked.
"Well…someplace like a dungeon, where we sit around and are told something of London's history?" Spencer asked unsure, when Rossi shrugged his shoulders in a manner that said 'I absolutely have no Idea'.
"That's completely not what it is! You can walk through the biggest parts of London's history, the great fire, Guy Fawkes, Jack the Ripper…and-" Alex bit her lip before she told them about the black plague, if she told Spencer, he wouldn't set on foot inside. "Come on if you won't come with us, I won't have sex with you for the rest of our vacation and I'll call you Spency." Alex threatened and the men stated their disappointment.
"Hey, that's pretty hard isn't it Blake?" Morgan asked and Rossi nodded.
"That would be really mean" Rossi said too and the woman rolled her eyes. "Not that it is any of our business." he added when he saw the glance his own girlfriend threw at him saying 'you want the same punishment?'.
Eventually they got Spence and Rossi to come with them and of course in the end these two had enjoyed it the most, though Alex had to practically drag Spencer through the black plague show and had to ensure him that the woman who had played an infected, had sprayed water on him and hadn't sneezed.
"Oh this was soo much fun!" Garcia giggled when they walked out, Morgan only grumbled something in response, because she had bought the picture of the small free fall tower, were he had the stupidest face ever, as he hadn't heard what was about to happen.
"Yes it was." JJ said grinning and Alex smiled at her before she laid an arm around Spencer's middle, when they decided to have a walk at the riverside of the Thames. They then stopped in a cafe by the riverside.
"Hey! Why don't we have a nice picnic in Regents Park? The weather is perfect and it's super nice there!" Garcia suggested when they sat there after they had finished their coffee and were debating what they should do next and they all nodded.
"That's a great Idea!" JJ agreed with her friend.
"Okay, than Derek and I will look for some snacks and games, Junior G-Man and Lexie-" Spencer choked on his water and Alex blinked at Garcia, fighting a blush, as it was the name Spencer used when they had sex.
"Sorry, not good? I just came up with it and-"
"No, it's okay Penny" Alex said smiling and whispered something in Spencer's ear, as it had been "his" name, but he could just switch to another one.
"Oh, oh wait! I have a better plan, we ladies are going to buy a picnic blanket and think about something to do, and you three will buy something to drink and to eat! And a cooling box!" Garcia said and both JJ and Alex didn't have something against that plan.
"Why do we have to find something to eat and to drink?" asked Rossi when their woman already started to get up and say their goodbye.
"Because you with your fat bank account, can get us something nice to snack and to drink! And so you are longer on the move than we are!" she said and Alex and JJ shared a worried and questioning glance, as they both knew that sometimes Garcia could have freaky ideas.
"Okay see you in the park" Morgan said and kissed his girlfriend. "And baby girl, no big surprises okay?"
"But you love my surprises, don't you?"
"Of course I do, but maybe the English won't" she just giggled and waited for Alex and JJ to say their goodbye, before they walked away.
"And don't show off Mister!" JJ called over her shoulder and luckily for Rossi she couldn't see his eye roll.
"What does she mean?" Spencer asked not taking his eyes away from the backside of his girlfriend.
"I don't know…the limo is going to wait for us at the street in about ten minutes" answered Rossi and Morgan raised an eyebrow.
"What? Did you seriously believe I would take the sub- underground again?" the Italian Agent added and corrected himself before Spencer could, who had already opened his mouth to do so.
"No, we haven't" Morgan chuckled, quite excited to drive in a limo again and looked at Reid who didn't seem to care as he still watched Alex. "Well, I think we can go as soon as pretty boy is finished undressing Blake with his eyes." Spencer tore his glance away from Alex and looked up.
"Huh? Did you say something?"
"So why do we have to buy only a picnic blanket?" Alex asked, when they were out of the earshot of their men.
"Don't be silly Lexie, I brought a picnic blanket with my, we only have to get it from our room" Garcia stated and JJ frowned, just what was her friend up to? On her other side Alex tried not to blush again and tried to get used to being called by that by one of her friends, as she still associated it with having sex with Spencer.
"Okay I have a question-" the blonde Agent started to speak but was interrupted.
"No you don't, I ordered them to do more because we have to change!"
"Into what?" asked the linguist now completely irritated.
"A Bikini of course, Ladies, we have to show them what they got themselves into, don't we?" JJ giggled.
"Of course we have, but I didn't pack one." she admitted.
"Me neither." Alex said.
"What why not?" their bubbly friend was shocked to hear that.
"Because I didn't really associated London with swimming, and because I froze my butt off in cold Edinburgh" Alex piped up.
"It sounded like you made it yourself quiet cozy when he talked," JJ teased her and Alex glared at her, but failed to fight a smile. "But to answer your question, I even had to unpack some things, because I left Will and we instantly came here." JJ said a bit embarrassed.
"JJ, Lexie we have to go shopping!"
"Oh no, please! Let me get the picnic blanket from your room and just bring me a bikini, I hate shopping." Alex said, she was by no means a fan of shopping tours and though she really, really liked Garcia, she knew how much this woman loved shopping.
"What? No, we'll go together, how come you don't like shopping, every woman does!" Penny pouted.
"Last time I checked I was still a woman though I hate shopping, thanks very much!" was Alex first comment. "I don't know why, I mean I like window shopping but the longest shopping trip I ever had was four and a half hours…and mostly because I had to stand in line behind woman, who needed help with carrying all the things they bought!"
"Wow, after four and a half hours I'm though three stores tops!" Garcia said in a way as if it was the most surprising thing in the world that a person close to her didn't like shopping. "Not even shoes?" she asked.
"Worse than clothes, I have one day each half of the year in which I spend buying all the shoes I could possibly need, for any occasion that might come in autumn and winter and spring and summer." now two mouths fell.
"Wow…"
"Hey what did you expect from the woman who's with the guy who hasn't changed his style in ever, there has to be something we have in common."
"And there is nothing you spend your money on? I mean the real excessive way?" Garcia asked interested.
"Well…don't you ever let me lose in a bookstore I could spend my monthly salary on books, don't look that surprised, again I'm with Spence since two years, he rubbed off on me." JJ giggled.
"You're still coming with us, I promise we'll only get a bikini and then we're out of there." JJ said.
"But-!" Garcia stared.
"Come on Pen, we'll have a long shopping day, but we also have to get the blanket and be at the Regents Park before our men arrive there, we don't have the time." JJ explained.
"Okay, okay we won't go shopping today." the chance of a shopping day with JJ clearly lightened her mood again, while Alex mouthed a 'Thank you' at JJ who winked back.
"Hey what do you say to this one?" Garcia held up a real small red bikini, JJ and Alex shared a glance.
"For who?" Garcia shrugged her shoulders.
"Dunno, but one of you has to try it on, fight!" Alex looked at JJ who shook her head.
"Uh-uh, I had to try on the last one she picked out and you didn't try on anything yet." Garcia weaved the bikini in front of her face and Alex took it strolling over to a changing cabin grumbling something under her breath.
The two continued to look for some bikinis and then waited until Alex was finished.
"Lexie are you finished? I can see at your feet that your only turning around, come out or I'll come inside." Garcia said and the curtain moved aside to reveal a not amused Alex, but two mouths fell.
"Holy Moly! No offense but wow, why did you hide this body?" Garcia exclaimed a bit surprised when they saw that Alex was in good shape, toned, the right curves at the right place and everything was still in the place where it belong, no surprise that Spencer couldn't get enough of her. She also looked pretty hot in the bikini, though Alex herself looked rather unpleased.
"Thank you, what did you expect? Love handles, cellulite and hangers?" she asked while she tried to pull the bikini bottom up and the fabric covering her breasts closer together. "And what am I supposed to wear to work? High Heels, a miniskirt and a tube top?...That is a bit too much I think, this one seems good." she added and pointed to the one in JJ's hands who had picked that one out for her friend knowing that Garcias choice wouldn't be able to convince Alex.
"No…but wow!" Alex smiled and took the chevron bikini in different shades of brown and some white from JJ's hands before she disappeared in the cabin again.
"And just for the record we'd have to move your desk into a closet because when you would go to work wearing something like that, I'm sure Spencer and you would never leave that closet again!" Alex only held out her hand with her raised middle finger from behind the curtain as an answer to what JJ has said.
"Why are we only joking about my sex life? Because, you know Penelope, as you were able to hear me and Spencer, we were also able to hear you and Morgan!"
"I don't like were this is going," Garcia answered and JJ chuckled and eyed the next bikini Garcia handed her, a dark turquoise one and in that moment Alex came out looking happy with this model.
"What do you say?" she asked, JJ gave her thumps up, while Garcia whistled.
"Perfect!" Alex grinned.
"Thanks, I'll take it" she disappeared again to change into her clothes, while JJ tried on the bikini and came out minutes later, just when Alex came back after buying hers.
"You look gorgeous JJ!" she said and smiled while Garcia nodded eagerly.
"Lexie's right! That's bought!" she said and JJ had to agree with them.
"Okay let me change again and then let's get the blanket before we head over to the park!" and five minutes later, they left the store to get back to the hotel and JJ and Alex changed in later ones room while Garcia changed in hers and Derek's room and got the blanket.
"You ready girls?" Garcia asked and they nodded.
"Yep, let's go and make them see what they got themselves into!" JJ said smiling.
And so the three of them made their way over to the Regents park and found a nice spot where not so many people were and lay on the blanket and bathed in the warm sun. Alex and JJ, of course, in their new bikinis and Garcia wore her favorite bright purple and pink one.
After ten minutes Garcia's phone rang and she picked up.
"Hey, Derek…just follow the tail of drool of the men walking by, just kidding if you come from Chester road you walk straightforward in the inner circle and then you'll see us, trust me!" she said and hung up. "They are going to be here any minute." she said and Alex sighed.
"Finally, I'm really thirsty" she said and sat up to lean on her elbows and JJ lying next to her grinned.
"For what? Water or Spence?" she teased and Alex playfully hit her shoulder.
"Water. And don't blame me, James was gone most of the year and that for, around eight years. So I was alone for nearly a decade, so let me have some fun."
"My, I can't imagine never seeing my husband, and of course you can have some fun with Spency." Alex huffed in amusement.
"In the end it wasn't that bad at all, the big problem is, that he won't let me be with Spencer in peace." JJ patterned her friend's thigh.
"If it isn't better when we come back, Penny and I are going to tell him to leave you two alone!" she said and Alex smiled.
"Thank you."
"Wow!" all looked up to their left and saw their men standing there with open mouths and a cooling box, which was carried by Morgan and Reid.
"Hello boys, and what do you say to your girlfriends?" Penny asked.
"Ultra sexy!" Derek said and sat next to her to lay his lips on hers in a passionate kiss.
"I love you too my chocolate thunder!" Garcia said after they had finally broken the kiss.
"My bellezza!" Rossi said and also kissed JJ, before he sat next to her and JJ laid her head on his shoulder.
"Couldn't you warn me that you are lying here in this bikini?" Spencer asked and laid next to his girlfriend and Alex kissed him and he pulled her close.
"I could've…but then I would've missed your priceless face." she said innocently and he kissed her again.
"Why don't we do this every year? This is so great, I mean we don't have to do a whole week but some days together, you know which we spend not catching the bad guys." JJ said.
"That's a good idea, I'm in and you?" Alex said and looked up at Reid who pulled his shirt over his head, so he could used it as a pillow.
"Hey pretty boy! Have you been working out?" Morgan couldn't hold back the teasing but Reid only smiled.
"I have to keep up with her so, yes I did" his girlfriend giggled and kissed his chest, while her hand slide daring close to the waistband of his trousers.
"Hey, it's still a public area guys!" Rossi warned and JJ nudged him in the side.
"Well, I'm also for an every year vacation we spend together! What about we go to the Caribbean? Or the Canary Islands?" their tech queen said excited.
"Or…what about Italy?" JJ asked and her lover groaned in frustration.
"Please not Italy, too many relatives…and too much of the kind I don't like!" he answered.
"Okay maybe we should make plans about that next year when we have a vacation again." Morgan said and when Alex wanted to say something, she was interrupted by her phone going off.
"Hello?..." the others watched how her face went from surprise and shock to pure happiness "Thank you so much, yes…thank you goodbye." she hung up and beamed at Spence.
"Who was that Lexie?"
"That was my lawyer, James signed the papers, I'm finally divorced! I'm free!" she said and Spencer embraced her tight and kissed her.
"That's great Love!" he said and also the others were happy for her.
"That screams for a good celebration!" Rossi said and pulled out an expensive bottle of wine out of the cooler and filled some glasses, he had insisted to buy, after he had beaten Morgan with the pack of plastic cubs he had brought for the wine.
"On the thrill of a divorce and a happy life for Spencer and Alex now later one has officially no husband anymore, who could ruin it." Rossi said and their chinked glasses and Alex and Spencer shared another kiss before nipping at their wine.
"So what do we call you at work now?" Morgan asked smiling.
"I don't care as long as it's not Blake…or Lexie" she answered looking especially at Garcia and missed the look on Reid's face beside her.
"Oh, I'll think of something" she answered and JJ turned to Alex, who only seemed to realize her mistake now.
"Do you already regret it?"
"A bit…" but she already laid back down and pillowed her head on Spencer's chest and he pulled her close, finally she had no annoying husband who tried to get in between them, it had mattered more to her, than she had even admitted to herself. She snuggled closer to him and soon this couple was dozing off in the sun.
The others kept talking and laughing JJ and Garcia played a round of Frisbee and while these two played and had fun, Rossi nudged Morgan in the side and pointed over to Reid and Alex. Morgan stood smirking and searched for the coldest bottle of water he could find in the cooling box and opened it, carefully, so they didn't know what was about to come, he walked over to them and emptied as much of the bottle over them as he could.
Garcia and JJ both flinched, when they heard a high pitched scream from where the others where and seconds later they saw Morgan running away laughing, a wet Alex and Reid close behind.
A moment later and they both started laughing along with Rossi who walked over to film the spectacle and to empty the bottle of water he had picked up over his own girlfriend, who hit him with the Frisbee, which she, unknowingly to him, had held in her hand.
Eventually Alex and Reid had Morgan surrounded in front of some bushes and payed him back in hitting him pretty hard, one time each. The only one who had stayed dry in the end was Garcia, because JJ took revenge on both Rossi and Morgan, as he had the idea.
"This was such a great day and I know the perfect way to let it end properly." the only dry one of the group said grinning.
"And that would be what? Watching Junior G-Man and the Linguistics Doctor, with the hard right hook, play scrabble? That be pretty cool." Morgan said grinning and Alex raised her eyebrows.
"Worse nickname ever." was Alex's only comment.
"What is so exciting in watching them playing scrabble?" Rossi asked and the other three looked at him.
"You never saw that?" his girlfriend asked and Rossi looked at them like they were crazy.
"No…?"
"Then you've missed something my Italian friend, that is like war, that they don't throw things at each other is a miracle" Morgan said and Alex stuck her tongue out at him and Reid showed him his middle finger, while Garcia giggled.
"That be cool too, but I meant something else, we are all here because of one person and it's time to thank her! I'd say we surprise Emily with a visit!" Garcia said, not knowing how surprised they were going to be themselves!
