Ch.8 the honey moon is over
Nearly two months later, Reis was able to get some time off & flew to Greece to visit Megen.
When Megen picked him up at the airport, He crushed her against him as they hugged. She giggles against his chest then lifts her head so he could kiss her. Which he does; longingly causing a few people who sneer 'Get a room' as they walked by them.
After a few moments, the kiss ends. He looks down at her. "Wow. Babe, you got really tan! You are wearing sunscreen?" he says. Megen looks at him. "I have been doing this for a while Spence." She remarks. "Sorry" he says sheepishly as her hand takes his & she leads him to get his bag. As they drive to where she's staying, he asks "You okay?" she nods. "Fine" she says simply. Reid wasn't convinced, but chalked it up to her working a lot & was tired.
Neither was real hungry when they got her place though she offered him some baklava to snack on with tea. (It was evening when he arrived in Greece) When they went to bed later, they both fell asleep after lying down.
The next morning, Reid was awakened by soft kisses from Megen. "Mm. Thought I was dreaming" he says sleepily, kissing her back; his hand running along her stomach (she tasted like honey & coconut)as she pulls him on top of her.
Sometime later, Megen lifts her head off Reid's chest & notices his eyes are closed. "You better be thinking, not sleeping buster" she warns almost playfully. His eyes still closed, he says "I'm thinking" he says. Raising herself up on an elbow, she asks. "What about Spence?" "Just something Emily said a while ago" he says. "Wait, you just made love to me & you're thinking of another woman?" she exclaims, sitting up fully, holding the sheet to her. He opens his eyes & looks at her incredulously. "It wasn't like that!" he exclaims then sees her grabbing her robe. "Megen!" he says as she pulls it on then slips out of bed. "You come here, & you still can't leave your work!" she says. He looks at her as she gets out of bed. "This is supposed to be our time," she says angrily walking out of the room. Reid grabs his boxers, slips them on & follows her out. "Megen, where is this coming from?" he asks, confused. She turns & looks at him. "We haven't seen each other in almost 2 months, Spencer & after making love to me you're thinking about what your female co-worker said to you." She exclaims then runs her hands along her face. He looks at her quizzically. "Are you jealous of Emily?" he asks. Megen screams/growls. Then says "It's not about jealousy!" nearly yelling. He frowns. "Then what is it?" he asks. "I can't do this anymore" she says quietly. Reid stiffens & feels his heart crash into his stomach. "What-what are you- you saying?" he stammers. She averts her eyes as they start to tear up. "I can't do this long distance relationship thing." She says her voice wavering. Reid felt like he was punched in the stomach. "Megen" he says his own voice shaking. She looks at him & sees what he's thinking. "Spence, I want-"she pauses, and then says "I want to come home." He looks at her. "You want to come home?" he parrots. "You're not breaking up with me?" he asks. She shakes her head. "I want to be home, in Virginia. I want to be closer to my boyfriend." She says going to him. He grabs her & hugs her tightly. She hugs him back. "What about the project?" he asks after a moment. She looks up at him. "I just told you I can't do the long distance thing, Spence. I want to do this. Be closer to Dave & you." She says. "We can come always come back here later, for our honeymoon" she says giving him a kiss. He kisses her back. ""I like the way you think, babe" he says. She smiles. "You want to get married?" he suddenly asks. Megen laughs softly. "Right now, I just want to have our coffee dates." She says. They kiss again & end up going back to bed.
Later, they lay in each other's arms. "We could always live together" Megen says running her fingers along Reid's chest. "That would be a problem since you stay at Rossi's when you are not working." He tells her. Megen lifts her head & looks at him. "Actually, I have a house" she says. "My foster parents willed me their house when they died." She tells him. Reid looks at her. "When did they die?" he asks. "After I was taken that last time" she says softly. "Oh, babe" Reid says sympathetically. (He knew she was catatonic for like a month) she changes the subject. "So, what do you say about living together?" she asks. Reid thought silently for a few moments. (He'd love to be able to wake up next to her in the mornings, go sleep next to her at night. Be intimate without worrying about someone walking in on them) "Can we go check it out when you come home?" he says. She smiles. "Oh, you bet we can" she says with innuendo. Reid just laughs.
