Stranger For Christmas
(Garcia's POV)
When I start to open my eyes the next morning, I begin to notice the lack of warmth that was at my side last night. Maybe he already went back home, who knows. Carefully, I step out of my bed and walk out of the room. Walking down the hall to the living room. Strangley, my phone starts to ring. I pick up the phone.
''Hello?''
''Sweetheart, it's Morgan. I wanted to call when you got up so you didn't freak out.''
''How would you know what time I wake up?'' I ask him.
''Let's just say I know, but I wanted to tell you that I got called away on a case, to new york.'' Ohh, so he isn't here.
''Ahh I see.''
''Look I didn't expect this either, but believe me when I say that I will call you every chance I get , and I will be at your doorstep the minute I get back in virgina.''
''I believe you Morgan.''
''Good, I gotta go baby girl. I'll call you later. I love you.'' Then he hangs up. Wait, did he just say that he loved me? Woah, that's heavy. But I can't believe he said that, and that he's gone, and in New York! Sure, he said he'll call but that won't make up for not seeing him.
After getting over the initional shock of the call, I go back into my bedroom and get dressed in a sweatshirt and jeans. Looking at my phone, I see that I have some emails from Greyson, asking to meet me to talk about the book. So I quickly email him back telling him I'll meet him at a park down the street. Very quickly, I walk down the street to the the temperature outside, I'm not cold when I reach the park.
When I reach the park, I see Greyson sitting on a bench in the far corner of the park. When I walk over to him, he shoots up from the bench.
''Penelope, it's good to see you again.'' He offers me the seat next to him, which I accept.
''So Greyson, what did ya wanna talk about with the book?''
''Well, actually I called you to tell you something. I was able to set up a book signing for this weekend.''
''Wait, Greyson you can only set up a book signing if the book is being published and is on shelves.'' Greyson get's the hint because he pulls a book out of his bag and holds it in front of him. The cover for the book is just what I imagined it to be. The cover is of a old fashioned candle outside when it's pitchblack with the title across the book and my name towards the bottom.
''Oh my god, no way! Thank you Greyson! I can't believe this is happening. My dream is finally coming true, all thanks to you.'' I smile in his direction.
''Please, I barely did anything. You wrote the book, I just pulled a few strings with a few people. It id a honor to be your book agent. Now, let me walk you home it's freezing out.'' Not objecting, I let him walk me, when I get to the front door, I notice it's unlocked. What the hell, I'm posistive I locked the door before I left. Not letting Greyson know the door is magically unlocked, I open the door and what I see shocks me.
Sitting on my couch is Morgan with sunglasses on his face. He's the only guy I know that wears sunglasses in the middle of winter. He doesn't notice me yet because he's looking down at his phone.
''Morgan! What are you doing here?'' I ask. He looks up at me with the glasses on his face still. He drops his phone and stands up from the couch, taking the glasses of his face. Greyson takes this as his oppertunity to leave so he leaves the book on the table by the front door, walks out and closes it behind him. Once the door shuts, Morgan steps a little closer to me.
''I though you were in new york on a case?''
''I was, my chief said I could go home, he understood why I wanted to come home.'' Morgan pulls me into a hug.
''You didn't have to do that, I could've delt...'' He pulls back to look at me.
''Non sense, I wanted to do this, for you. I wanted to come home and be with you. I wanted to be able to spend more time with you.''
''But... you shouldn't have come from new york.'' I'm stopped mid sentence when he kisses me. He stays there for a minute before pulling away.
''You need to know when to just give up hard head. I'm here, and I'm not leaving you again until the next case, done deal.'' He kisses the tip of my nose before walking away. Well, that was interesting.
Sorry about the story Hiatus, but not to fear it's back! Ok, did anyone else love how Morgan just showed up at Garcia's house, like hey 'hey I'm here.' Only morgan... but on other news, the hiatus for Killing In The Business is almost done, got some ideas churning up, but I don't exactly have them on the Doc Manager yet, so bare with me! Thanks for being so supportive :)
