I Only Love You When I'm Drunk
(Garcia's POV)
Late in the day when I was finally able to get back to my own office and get some work done, I decide that after getting some work done, I would go home and take the rest that needed to be done home. For once, I'm actually in the mood to TAKE work home, and listen to Michael Buble, Cold play, or whatever the hell I decided to listen to.
With my necessary paperwork that needs to be completed in my bag and my computer bag over my shoulder, I lock up my office and head towards the elevator. On my way I run into Reid, and he stops me.
"Hey Garcia, the team is getting together at Rossi's in an hour, are you going to be coming?" He asks me.
"Sorry Spence, but It's just going to be me, work, and music tonight. Maybe another night." He tenses up slightly but I smile and put him at ease.
"Ok well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Waving, I get in the elevator and hit the button for the lobby. The doors close in front of me and I enjoy the silent ride down. A minute later, the doors open in front of me to the lobby and I make my way through the lobby to where my car is parked. I get in my car, and drive off to my house.
I've been in my current position which is curled up on my couch with my feet tucked underneath me and work on my lap for about 30 minutes. The night so far has been rather silent except with the music softly playing in the background. Just as I switch from my paperwork, to work that needs to be worked on with my computer, the music changes from the soft melody of Michael Buble to an upbeat Coldplay song.
The lights go out and I can't be saved
Tides that I tried to swim against
Have brought me down upon my knees
Oh I beg, I beg and plead, singing
When there's a break in the singing, there's a knock on my door. Getting up, I put my laptop on the table and pause the music. Walking up to the door, I open it to show Morgan.
"What are you doing here? I thought you and the team were suppose to be at Rossi's." He gives me a look before lightly moving me from the door so he can step in. I close the door behind him.
"Wow, I missed you too, and yes I am supposed to be there but I thought I was much more needed here then there, plus leave my girlfriend alone while she's working, I least thought I could be here in case you wanted to talk instead of wanting to beat your head against the wall."
"That is true, ok thanks for coming. I did miss you though."
"I figured that much, it's hard not to miss me. Have you seen me lately?" He walks over to the coat rack and hangs up his leather jacket.
"No, haven't you heard? I've been blind for the past eight years. I've recently been cured though."
"I could deal without the sarcasm you know." He makes his way over to the couch and sits down next to where my work is splayed out over the couch cushion.
"You live for it though. You wouldn't know what to do without it." I respond as I sit down where my work is laid out. I sit down so my laptop is out on my lap and my feet are pressed up against his leg.
"So would you mind telling me what it is your working on there?" Morgan asks as he looks over at me.
"You know I was down at Dylan's floor for a very short amount of time today?"
"Until he sexually harassed you?"
"Yes until that, well they still want me to wrap up some paperwork on what I was suppose to be doing and then get it back when I finish it."
"Wait, they want you to do paperwork on something you never did, much less completed. Is it just me or does that not make sense?"
"Ohh believe me, I'm on the same page as you are but you can't exactly say no to the government" Rubbing my eyes, I set my laptop out on the coffee table in front of the couch.
"Your killing yourself here girl, take a break."
"It has to be done though."
"Yeah but it can't be done if your eyes fall out of your head." Gently, he reaches over and puts his hands on my wrists, then pulls my hands away from my eyes. When my hands are away from my eyes, my eyes feel like they're burning. Well, I guess that's thanks to me rubbing my eyes.
"How your eyes feeling now?"
"They burn like hell right now but other then that their swell."
"Well gorgeous, it's going to take a minute or two for them to adjust." He moves his hands off my wrists, but takes one of the hands and rests it on my thigh. He looks up at me and just stares at me, he doesn't move he just... stares.
"Why are you staring at me?" I say with a little laugh in my voice.
"What? Can't I stare at the woman I..." He's interrupted by his phone ringing. Without getting up, he picks up his phone off the side table and answers it.
"Yeah?" He asks, his fingers trailing up and down my leg.
"Seriously? Son of a bitch ok I'll be there in 10 minutes." He hangs up then looks at me.
"I have to go, there's a little... complication with one of the properties I'm renovating." He moves my leg away from him and he stands up the couch.
"I'll be back as soon as I'm done over there, then it's just you and me." He drops his lips to mine quickly, then pulls away. He grabs his jacket and puts it on, along with his shoes.
"I love you baby girl." He winks before opening my front door and walking out, closing the door behind him. Well that was, sort of sudden. I guess when you're in the renovation business unexpected things happen all the time.
Just as I begin to get up off the couch, the door is knocked on again. Walking over to the door, I open to find a middle-aged women standing in front of me in a sundress and sandals.
"Excuse me, can I help you?" I ask the woman. She looks at me and smiles.
"Yeah, I was told I could find Derek Morgan here. Is he here? I need to talk to him." Cocking my head to the side, I look at her.
"Ummm no he's not here. Who are you?"
"Ohh I'm sorry, excuse my manners. I'm Jillian, I've been seeing Morgan for couple of weeks now." Wait, hold up. She's the girl he told he had been seeing for weeks. He didn't break up with her, yet he asked me out? Holy shit, this is heavy.
"Ok, did you want to leave a message for him?" I ask, mustering up a smile.
"Ohh no that's ok, I'll just call him later. Thanks for your time." She smiles before walking off down the hall. I close the door and lean against it. Did Morgan not break up with Jillian before Or after he asked me out, he just decided that he could handle two? You know what, I haven't even asked Morgan his side of the story and I'm already jumping to conclusions, some girlfriend I am, but then again I don't what is going on but I have this feeling in my gut that it's what Jillian said it was, that they've been together for the past couple of weeks band when he asked me out, he didn't bother breaking up with her. Either way, this is a lot to handle.
With tears of frustration and confusion building up in my eyes, I begin to head back to the couch when there's a knock on my door followed by Morgan's voice. "Hey I'm back sweetheart." Seriously? He couldn't give me like 5 minutes to calm down? You know what, maybe I should just send him home so I can Think about it over night instead of having to deal with it right now. Going over to the door, I open it to find Morgan leaning against the doorway outside of my home.
"Hey girl I've missed you." He looks at me for a minute before asking "Hey, everything ok?
"Yeah everything's cool it's just I'm tired and I've got a lot of work to finish so I was going to send you home." Morgan doesn't even bother to hide the frown on his face.
"Are you sure? Cause I could stay a couple more hours or I could just..."
"I said leave." I said a little more forcefully. I feel a single tear slide down my cheek.
"Ok, that's it. I'm not leaving until you tell me what's going on and what made you like is." He says, crossing his arms over his chest. He has a hard tone in his eyes but the look on his has a softer more concerned look on it.
"I'm fine Morgan, just go already." I say, shutting the door in his face. As I turn to have my back against the door, he begins to continuously knock on the door.
"Come on baby girl, just talk to me here. What happened?"
"I'll see you tomorrow Morgan." I say abruptly as I walk into my bedroom and shut the door determined to get him out of my head, at least for the night.
So, you were introduced to the 'girlfriend' Jillian, and for some reason I wanted to make her a decent person Unlike I usually do :D Anyways, so according to Jillian, Morgan never ended between them, but he asked Garcia out. Next chapter you'll find out what actually is going on here
Speaking of the next chapter, the next chapter sadly will be the last one :( not to fear though I will do absolute best to make the last chapter, the best chapter :)
