31st July- 2nd August 2011, Sequim, Washington, USA
AmeliaPOV
We stayed in our room for another hour, just talking and laughing; Spence always did know how to cheer me up. We headed back to the Police Department not long after that. We dived back into our work, trying to make connections between the victims and the Unsub. Katryna's words helped a lot; they even lead to an arrest and a subsequent confession two days after we arrived in Sequim. Personally, I was glad that the case was over; I felt emotionally drained after such a long day. We decided to go out for Indian food after we had wrapped up the case with the PD. We were leaving the next morning in the jet to go back to DC. We walked into the little Indian restaurant, managing to secure a table for eight.
We all seated ourselves around a round table. "Why didn't we go for Chinese food again?" Morgan asked, sitting.
"Because I can't use chopsticks" Spence and I both said at the same time, earning a chuckle from the rest of the team and a blush from the pair of us.
I looked through the menu, sipping the white wine that we ordered for the table, "I'll have a chicken korma." I told the waiter.
"A korma?! That's the mildest thing on the menu! I'll have a vindaloo." Morgan said, shutting the menu.
"I don't like spice! I prefer mild food." I said, rolling my eyes and taking a larger gulp of wine.
Morgan smirked, "Trying to get drunk Italian stallion?" he teased
I rolled my eyes, "You wish, why don't we go to a bar after this? See who can drink the other under the table?" I challenged, raising my eyebrow and smirking.
He smiled ruefully, "you're on!" he said, drinking more of his beer.
We ate our curries, and it amused me greatly that Morgan kept on refilling his water glass, "A little spicy Derek?" I asked, eating some more of my Korma.
"No" he said, gulping some more water
The team chuckled, my fork sneaking onto Spence's plate and stealing some of his chicken.
"Hey!" he said
I smiled cheekily and winked, "best friends share everything right?"
We finished up around an hour later, heading towards a bar. We ordered our drinks; I was on rum and coke. Two hours later and I was feeling a considerable buzz, and having a great laugh with Spence and the others.
SpencerPOV
Amelia was more than a little tipsy, and it was very amusing to watch. She was showing off her language skills, which were still very impressive even though she was considerably inebriated. I watched her stumble towards the bar with a chuckle; her antics amused me greatly, it was some of the many things that made me fall in love with her.
I watched a guy move towards her, a look on his face that was easily profiled. I felt the jealousy begin to seep through me. I didn't like the idea that some scumbag was trying to get into her pants, she was worth more than a cheap one night stand.
She was clearly trying to brush him off, I nudged the others and pointed over to the pair. "How long til she hits him?" I asked
"10 minutes" Garcia said quickly.
I watched her come back with our drinks, this guy on her tail.
"C'mon baby, wanna go catch a movie?" he said
She rolled her eyes "I've already seen it"
"Let me buy you a drink"
"I'd rather have the money."
"Where have you been all my life?"
"Hiding from you, take the hint"
"Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" I almost choked with laughter at that one; I didn't know that line was still in use. The rest of us were struggling to contain our laughter.
"You know you can't resist me doll" he leered, trying to lean in to her.
She quickly grabbed his ear and twisted, "listen prick, I'm not interested, and if you want your balls to remain attached then I suggest you leave me alone." She whispered, pushing him away.
She sat down, downing her drink quickly, "Honestly, some people." She said, "Why didn't you guys have my back. I couldn't get rid of that guy!"
I chuckled, "We had a bet on how long it would take you to hit him, and we couldn't interfere."
She slapped my arm, "asshat" she grumbled, "For that you can buy me another drink dollface" she said, slurring slightly.
I chuckled; dollface, that's a new one, "Sure thing sweetcheeks" I teased, heading to the bar.
I had definitely changed since meeting Amy; I had become more confident, come out of my shell more. I was beginning to use technology more and in return she was watching lots of sci-fi with me. She was the best friend I could ever ask for, and if could only be friends, then I would take that.
We left the bar an hour later, Amelia and Morgan both very very drunk. "I love you Spencer, you are amazing!" she slurred, wrapping her arms around me as we walked the five minute walk to the hotel.
I wrapped my arms around her, holding her up. "That's nice." I said as she began to giggle.
"You are my best friend!" She exclaimed, hugging me tightly.
I rolled my eyes, laughing as Morgan flirted shamelessly with Garcia.
I helped her to our room, chuckling as she collapsed on her bed.
She's going to feel terrible tomorrow.
Next day
SpencerPOV
I woke up early, like I normally do, with only a slight headache due to our drinking excursion the night before. I looked over to Amy, she looked like a zombie; still fully clothed, but she was still beautiful in my eyes, then again I'm terribly biased. I heard her groan, swearing lightly in fluent Italian. "My head" she groaned, sitting up.
I was there, aspirin and water in hand, "are you going to be sick? Because there's no point giving you this now if you're going to puke."
She rolled her eyes at my concern "Honestly Spence I don't feel-"
I never got to hear the end of that sentence as she dashed to the bathroom. I almost chuckled at her reluctance, following her. I knelt down beside her and pulled her hair back.
"Go away, you don't need to see this." She said, before throwing up again.
It was my turn to roll my eyes, "Best friends remember?" I said, helping her up after she was finished. I gave her the aspirin and water. She gulped it down quickly, before pushing me out so she could get ready.
I chuckled at her morning personality, it was really quite cute. She was ready half an hour later, looking much better than when she woke up.
"How are you not ill?" she asked as I went to get ready, "you drank a lot too last night."
"Not nearly as much as you and Morgan, who is having a worse hangover than you by the way. I have a bit of a headache but I'm otherwise fine. I practically had to carry you here whilst you told me how I'm the best friend ever." I teased
She blushed, "that is so embarrassing. Wasn't Morgan flirting with Garcia the whole way home?"
"Yeah, he's told me last night that he wants to ask her out, but he doesn't know how." I said, emerging from the bathroom.
She smiled brightly, "No way! Garcia wants to go out with him too, though we all knew that. Can we grab some coffee? I need some more cure to my king of the hangovers."
By the time we reached the airstrip for our flight home, Amelia was feeling a lot better, though still very sensitive to light and noise. We got on the plane, chuckling at Morgan in his sunglasses.
"I totally drank you under the table." Amelia said happily, pulling out some of her degree work.
Morgan rolled his eyes, "Did not! You were just as bad as me. You were showing off your language skills."
She paled "Was I?"
I nodded, turning the page in War and Peace, "you taught me a variety of swearwords in twelve different languages, including sign language."
She groaned, we laughed. "I hate you guys." She said, putting her headphones in and beginning to work.
I chuckled, turning back to the book when she slid me a note.
Thanks for your help this morning and last night Spence, I don't know what I'd do without you- Ax
I smiled and slid the note in my pocket, I looked at her with a smile, maybe she feels the same way?
A/N: there's the new chapter guys! New case begins next chapter and there is drama by the bucket load so stay tuned!
