Thanks for all your wonderful reviews, I'm so touched!

I hope you enjoy it!


Chapter 9

"I'll have to give it to you baby girl, that was a smart move", Morgan announced as he sat down next to Garcia. "I just hope those two get it together."

"I know my chocolate god, they would make such a cute couple!", Penelope replied tipsily. Then her smile turned into a frown. "But there's something that worries me Derek."

"What's that Pen?"

"You know what I told you about that nasty scene with Annie's ex? I just talked to Sarah to find out what's going on there and I don't like what she told me..."

Morgan immediately looked worried. From what he heard so far this Marcus guy seemed to be a real jackass. But apparently there was more to it than just the usual stuff between exes.

"Sarah told me that he used to be really possessive of Annie. Seems like the guy has some real issues. He always wanted to know what she was doing, checking her phone for text messages from other guys. Hell, he even followed them on their girl's night out once because he thought she was seeing another guy..." Garcia whispered.

Derek sure didn't like the sound of that. "It could be nothing Garcia, but I've been on the job long enough to know that more often than you think guys like him turn really nasty at one point..." he replied.

"I know hot stuff, I think we really need to keep an eye on that jerk. I can't stand the thought of anything happening to Annie..."

Back in the kitchen Spencer couldn't believe what he just heard.

"When I've met someone like you..."

Taking another step towards him, Annie looked up at him hopefully, her heart beating faster. She was now so close to him she would just have to reach out to touch him, but still something held her back.

Spencer hadn't thought those butterflies could get any worse, but hearing Annie's lips form those words they were stronger than ever before. She was close now and he could again smell that heavenly scent that was unique to her. It sent shivers through his body. Her eyes were focused on him only and in that moment he felt like they were the only two people in the world. He knew she was probably waiting for him to say or do something, so he gathered all his courage and tentatively reached out to her. Her left hand met his halfway and when they touched it was like sparks shooting up his arm right to his heart and he was sure she must notice how he was shaking with nervousness.

"Annie, are you saying..." he began but was cut off by her pulling him closer to her. He could feel the warmth of her body against his as her other hand reached up and gently touched his cheek. His heart skipped a beat when she lifted her hand even further and raised herself up on tiptoes. Intertwining his fingers with hers he lowered his head, still lost in those blue eyes.

Annie could almost feel his breath on her face. Her eyes darted between his soft lips and those eyes that had captivated her from the moment they met. She was still afraid, afraid of letting someone into her heart again. But she also had to listen to what her heart told her. Slowly closing her eyes she leaned even closer, bringing her lips to his.

Spencer could have sworn he had died and gone to heaven. Feeling Annie's lips softly brush his sent shivers down his spine. Closing his eyes, he moved his right hand from hers, tranferring it to the back of her neck. She was now leaning into him, coming even closer. Her lips slightly parted, she increased the pressure on his just a bit. As if it had a life of its own his other hand cupped the side of her head, his fingers running through her soft hair. Loosing himself in her touch he knew what had been missing all his life...
