A/N: Thank you all once again for all the lovely reviews you keep sending my way, they rock and so do you. Unfortunately today's chapter will probably be the only one you guys get this weekend because you guys have caught up to what I already had written. Therefore instead of posting tomorrow I'll probably just get some more chapters written and resume with daily posts on Monday.
Chapter 6:
Two days later…
"Long night," Hotch questioned as he walked into the break room where an exhausted looking Morgan was downing a cup of coffee.
Morgan just nodded as he poured himself another cup of coffee. Last night had indeed been that, very long night. Garcia had been in a very flirtatious mood since she'd woken up and it was something the whole team had dealt with all day long. Sadly it had only gotten worse after work. Hell at one point he had even excused himself to go take a shower. It was all in a desperate attempt to keep himself from showing her just what her teasing was doing to him. Of course hearing her call out that his shower would be more fun with some company hadn't helped matters and so as a result the shower he had taken was a very cold one.
Freshly showered ten minutes later he walked back out to find her rummaging around the kitchen. "What you doing baby girl, "He'd asked.
"I think I ate them all," Had been her response.
Grinning he said, "If you're referring to the Doritos you finished off earlier then yes their all gone." He had then offered to run out to the store and get her some more.
"Would you mind," She had asked with a smile, "Oh and pick up some Rocky Road ice cream too."
"Alright," he agreed before grabbing his car keys and heading out.
Snapping out his thoughts he finally gave his boos more of an answer than his previous nod. He was explaining to Hotch about how she'd crumbled up the chips on top of the ice cream.
"That's disgusting," They both heard the youngest member of their team say.
Morgan shook his head as he turned to face a very green looking Reid, "No what's disgusting is the entire bottle of hot sauce she proceeded to pour on top of it all."
"Eww!" Was all Reid said before he ran over to the nearest trash can and threw up.
"What's wrong with him," Emily asked making her presence known.
"He's a bit grossed out by Garcia's latest food craving," Hotch answered before exiting the break room.
"I don't want to know do I," Emily asked as Morgan poured himself yet another cup of coffee.
"No you don't," A now recovered Reid answered.
Emily nodded before saying, "I'm assuming the craving put a halt to all the flirting, right?
"Only after she basically offered to join me in the shower," Morgan replied as the three of them left the break room and made their way to the bull pen.
Emily laughed at that before she leaned over and whispered, "Maybe her flirting wouldn't torture you so much if you told her how you felt."
Morgan just shook his head before actually admitting, "I'd do it if it weren't for the fact that she's still in love with Kevin."
"Morgan I don't think she was ever as in love with him as she thinks was right now," Emily said in attempt to argue with him, "She's just grieving and hormonal right now."
"Yeah but until I'm sure of that I'm keeping my feelings to myself, alright," Morgan said with finality before turning his attention to a file on his desk.
Emily nodded wishing there was a way that she could make this better for the both of them.
About an hour later her and Reid watched Morgan leave to go check on Garcia for the first time that day. It was something he did at least three times a day if not more. As soon as he was Reid looked over at Emily and said, "Do you know how many girls he turned down the other night?"
"He did what," Emily asked he curiously.
"About ten different women asked him to dance the other night at the bar and he told them all no," Reid explained.
"Interesting," Was Emily's only comment. It appeared that he was even more in love with her than she'd originally thought.
Garcia's bunker…
"What's up baby girl," Morgan asked as he stepped into her bunker and watched as her quickly type something into a search engine.
"Not much handsome," Garcia answered as she paused what she was doing and turned to him with a smile, "JJ asked me too look up something for her"
Morgan nodded as made his way over to her. He then proceeded to tell her Reid's reaction to her snack last night.
"You are not right," she said with a shake of her head before adding, "You should tell him it tasted really good though."
"I'll pass that along," Morgan replied, "But I seriously doubt that he'll believe you."
Garcia nodded before instructing him to wait while she emailed her findings to JJ.
He complied and settled down in the empty chair beside her. When she was finished a couple of minutes later she noticed that he had dosed off.
"Wake up, hot stuff," she whispered as she leaned over and kissed his brow.
"Don't want to," He mumbled sounding just like a little kid.
"I know you don't but you also don't want Hotch coming in here and dragging you out." Garcia replied.
"Okay, you win," he said as he opened his eyes.
"Good now go back to work and I'll come get you for lunch here in a bit," She said as he stood up.
With a final wink her direction he waved good by and made his way back to the bull pen.
