A New Lease on Life Pt. 3
Words: 363
Summary: Reid has been hiding something and Morgan is sick of it. So he decides to take matters into his own hands and find out what the resident genius of the BAU is hiding. But what he finds is the last thing that he expected to see ever.
Damn it, Derek. What the hell were you thinking? Oh yeah, that's right you weren't thinking! I continued to mentally chastise myself as I watched Spencer try to get his emotions back under control. He was going to leave. That decision was clear on his face but that couldn't happen. Not only did he need a place to stay; I also needed him close to me. So, I braced myself as I attempted damage control.
"Spence, I shouldn't have said that. I will-I will just sleep out here on the sofa. I insist that you take the bedroom." It seemed as if hours passed, even though it was only five minutes, before Reid responded.
"Fine," said Reid as he turned and made a beeline for the bedroom. Dammit things weren't going the way that I had planned. And I had planned out everything.
As soon as I heard the shower turn on I rushed into the bedroom to change into something comfortable before I called to order dinner. When the water finally shut off, I was resting on the sofa with the television playing faintly in the background. The expectation was that Reid would hide out in the back room until time to eat. Shockingly, and luckily, he decided to join me in the living room. Granted he did sit at the other end of the couch as far away from me as possible.
Reid kept glancing at me when he thought that I wasn't paying attention. I watched his eyes rake over my bare chest and the blush creep over his skin.
"You know you can come closer if you want," I said leaving the choice completely up to him.
"Why Morgan?" His voice was a barely audible whisper.
"Why what?"
"Why me? Why now?"
"Because I need you just like you need me. Spence you always refuse to ask for help. Well, I'm tired of standing by and watching you suffer. Telling you how I feel is my way of giving you a new lease on life."
"And if I decline?" The question stung my heart.
"Then I will back off. It will hurt like hell, but I will back off."
A/N: Sorry about another cliffhanger. I will definitely wrap this little story up in the next part before you all decide to go on a rampage and hunt me down :)...well the next drabble posted in this collection might not be the final part, but don't worry I won't make you wait long for the final part to this. Until Next Time...See Ya :D
