Stranger For Christmas

After staying in my room for a few minutes to realise What happened, I walk out of my room. As I walk down the hall, I hear noise coming from the spare bedroom, where I assume Morgan's in there. I head to the living room where my laptop is. After getting in the living room, I log onto my laptop and make myself comfortable. I've been working on my novel for about 20 minutes when I hear Morgan come out of the spare room, so I close my computer, and rub my eyes.

Morgan finally comes into the living room and sits down on the couch across from the chair I'm sitting in.

''So, Penelope why were you so willing to let me in? I grew up in chicago and if someone came up to the house like I did, We would be beating them with a baseball.'' Morgan replied with a small smile.

''I grew up with a father who was a lawyer, so he taught me how to read people. So, when you showed up at my front door, I checked you out and saw that I could trust you so I offered.'' Morgan raises an eyebrow.

''You checked me out? I'm mean I'm flattered but I just met you.'' He says, his eyes now having a twinkle in his eye.

''Ohh not like that! I wasn't checking you out!'' I replied. I can feel the blood rushing to my cheeks, So I put my head down slighty.

''I was just teasing, you probably have a boyfriend being the type of person you are.'' Was that suppose to a compliment or what? But on another topic, he's wrong.

''I'm actually as of last year on christmas.''

''What happened between you too?'' Morgan asked. Not wanting to answer the question, I stand up from the chair abruptly.

''Well, I'm getting tired so I'll be in my bedroom for the night, and if you are up before I am and a guy named Jason shows up, don't send him away he's putting up the lights outside.'' I walk down the hall towards my bedroom.

''Goodnight Garcia.'' He calls before I walk into my bedroom and close the door. I quickly get dress in my pajamas before crawling into bed. For hours I trying closing my eyes and going to sleep, but flashbacks of what happened between Mark and I on christmas plays through my mind.

Last Year, Christmas

I had just come home from work, and I set my things on the couch. I begin walking towards the kitchen when I notice a Stelleto heel size 5 in the hall. I wear a size 6, who the hell's could that be? When I then start walking toward Me and Mark's bedroom, a red head comes from the room. When she get's a look at me her eyes go wide. When I saw her I immediately threw her and Mark out of my house. I never saw them again after that day.

(Present Day)

After the same flashback ends, I stumble out of bed and my room. I intently head towards the back porch. I sit down in the chairs outside, and just think. I think about how different my life would have been if Mark and I were still together.

Once it starts getting cold outside, I stand up from the chair and head to the back door. I bump into something...solid? Looking up I see it was Morgan I bumped into wearing a T-shirt and sweat pants. I look back down af the ground.

''Excuse me.'' I mutter to him as I manage to squeeze past him to get through the turns towards me as he walks away from the door.

''What are you doing up this late?'' He asks, his eyes giving me a questioning look.

''Couldn't sleep, you?'' I ask as I sit down at my kitchen table.

''I was up getting a glass of water when I saw the back door open a smidge, and I just wanted to see what was going on.'' He sits down across from me.

''You know, I never meant to upset you earlier.'' He says quietly. Again, not wanting to respond I stand up from the table.

''Well, Goodnight Morgan, see you in the morning.'' Morgan stands up as well.

''Garcia...''

''Yeah?'' I respond without turning around.

''Just, sleep good.'' He tells me before I go to my room This time, when I get into my bed I fall asleep quickly.

So, what did you guys think? In my opinion, I loved when Morgan was teasing Garcia about 'checking' him out, what do you guys think? Anyway, I wanted Morgan and Garcia to have some of their normal banter, but without it being too heavy, since they just met!
