I should mention that this starts on the jet on the way back from Connecticut.
March 2, 2012
Derek Morgan settled back against his seat in the jet. They were on their way home from a case in Connecticut.
"Anybody want to play truth or dare?" Emily asked.
All the men shook their heads in a very decisive "no", but Leah and JJ took the bait. Derek leaned forward to listen.
"Okay, I'll start." Emily said. Her lips curved in a devious smile and Derek saw the instant that it dawned of Leah that she had agreed to play truth or dare with her mom. "Leah, how old were you when you got your first kiss?"
The girl genius blushed. "Twenty-six."
"Whoa." Emily laughed.
"Wait a second," JJ squealed. "Was it the mistletoe?"
The look on Leah's face told all.
"It was! Spence was your first kiss!"
Emily and JJ fell over in twin fits of giggles and Derek couldn't help but smile.
"You know who Pretty Boy's first kiss was, don't you?" Derek asked.
"Yes, I do. I also know what a hero complex is. Do you know what's used to wipe a hard drive? Or better yet what photo chop is?"
Emily and JJ burst in to peals of laughter at Leah's barely concealed threat. She'd do it too, Derek was sure.
When the girls had recovered, Leah asked JJ, "Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"If you had to marry one of the men on this jet, who would it be? Spencer is all ready spoken for."
"And so is Aaron." Emily reminded.
JJ considered this for a second. "Morgan."
"What! " Derek burst out. "Why me?"
JJ grinned. "Because, between this job and other women, you wouldn't have time for me, which means you wouldn't be around."
The words hit Derek like a flying baseball between the eyes. Hard and painful.
Was that really what the thought of him? Oh no. Was that what Baby Girl, his Baby Girl, thought of him?
Please review and check out my poll, which I promise I plan to listen to this time. :)
