Stranger For Christmas
After Morgan had walked away and we had our little conversation, I'm going to be honest; I was dumbfounded about why he decided to come, sure he said he did it for me but how strong was this urge to see me to where it got to the point of where he left in the middle of a case? Anyway, he's here now and that's all that matters.
Of course, the minute me and Morgan are done talking my phone rings.
''Hello?'' I ask.
''Open your door.'' the voice says to me then hangs up. Cautiously I walk over to the door, and look through the window on the door. Seeing nothing and being curious, I open the front door, and you want to know who I see standing there? Mark, my ex!
Mark is smaller man, about 5'6 but still has a decent build. His jet black hair is greased back slightly, and he has his as always smirk on his face.
''Mark! What the hell are you doing here?'' I ask, furious that my ex boyfriend that cheated on me one christmas has the nerve to show up at my doorstep.
''Well hello to you too Penelope. I came by to talk.'' He tries to step closer, but I push him back.
''Ohh no, I gave you a chance to try to talk to me. Hell, I gave you months to talk, but no you were out with your slut, so I moved on. We're not going to talk cause I found someone who isn't going to bring his hooker into my home.'' I turn around to walk away and close the door, but Morgan steps in and holds the door in place. I try to step around Morgan, but he's blocking my way out.
''What's going sweetheart? Who is this guy?'' Morgan asked as his body started tensing up.
''This is the asshole that cheated on me on christmas last year.'' Morgan looks down at me an eyebrow raised. Slowly, he starts understanding what's going on so he starts clenching his teeth, and he adjusts himself to where he's looking down on Mark.
''So, You're the famous ex boyfriend that I've heard so much about.''
''Yes I am, and here to talk to Penelope, not her buffed up boyfriend.'' Derek doesn't answer back right away, but he get's a glint in his eye.
''Sorry, but looks like your going to be talking to the buffed up boyfriend because I'm sure as hell not going to let you talk to her, not after what you did to her.''
''And what makes you think I'm going to listen to you?''
''Well, for starters I'm the one who she is with, so that gives me just a slight advantage, ohh and let's not forget that I work for the BAU so if I wanted to, I could do soo much damage to you it's not even funny.'' Morgan finishes, his hand now resting at my side. Mark looks between me and Morgan before speaking again.
'' I'll be back.'' Mark answers which just makes Morgan laugh slightly.
''No you won't, because if you do you better pray to god that I don't end up killing you.'' Without saying another word, Morgan closes the door in his face before turning towards me.
''So that was him huh? What did you see in him?'' He asks as he follows me into the living room.
''Oh don't get me started on him.'' I sit down on the couch and of course Derek sits next to me.
''No, I want to know. What did you see in him?'' He asks again.
''Well, I guess it's because I though he was a nice guy, but we both see how well that one turned out.''
''Ok, I see that. Now, what do you see in me?'' He asks as he stands up, pulling me up with him.
''For starters, you haven't cheated on me which is a good thing, and second you're the only guy I know that cares about me more than my brothers do, which is hard to do. ''
''That your right on.'' He wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me up against him. He buries his face in my hair before pulling back to kiss my forehead.
''Just know that I'll always love you, no matter what happens.'' He just stands there for a minute holding me against him, until he pulls away.
''I promise you Penelope, that I will never do what he has done to you. I will never in my lifetime make you feel like I don't care about you because that is the farthest thing from the truth. I can honestly say that I can see myself spending the rest of my life with you.'' This time he kisses me, but like he never has before as if he released every single emotion into it.
He pulls away, only to kiss the top of my head.
''I love you baby girl, don't you ever forget about it.''
This chapter was chock full of stuff! I mean Mark stopped by, Derek of course showed him not to mess with him! We all love it when Morgan goes all 'badass' Derek Morgan on anyone.
