Reid's POV
I wonder why Derek's acting so off? He was fine just a couple of minutes ago. Now he seems like he's in real deep thought about something. I wonder what about? "Hey Reid?" "Yeah?" I said, turning to him in the car. "Do you remember when we first started dating?" I was kinda taken aback by the question. "Yeah. It was at that club that the girls had talked us into going to with them." He smiled. "Yeah. Remember the song we danced to?" I looked forward at the road. "Yeah."
Flashback
"No." I said, firm and stern to Garcia. I wasn't going to go to some stupid club with her. "Please Boy genius? Come on. Just this once." "No." I said, again. "Oh. Come one pretty boy. It want be that bad." Derek said, walking up to us, from leaning against the door."Why don't you go with her then?" I said, looking up at him. "I am." I made a face. "Then why do you need me to come with you then?" "Because it will be more fun. Come on Reid. Please?" Emily said, in the chair she was sitting in.
"Fine." I said, rolling my eyes.
"I'll go."
"Yay!" Garcia said, hugging me from behind. This was going to be interesting to say the least. There was no way that they were going to get me out on that dance floor. As we sat down at the bar, I ordered a beer. Sitting next to Derek, I saw Garcia and Emily run up to us. "Come guys! Lets dance!" Garcia said, with a huge smile on her face.
"I'll pass." I said, taking a sip of my beer.
"Come on pretty boy." Derek said, with a goofy smile on his face. Emily started to pull me up by my arm. "Your dancing." She said, as Garcia started to pull on Derek. "I don't want to dance." I said, fighting her grip. "Okay fine. We'll dance." I gave Derek I stupid look. "Come on Pretty Boy." Once again. I gave in. Walking onto the dance floor, they started to play Usher's DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love. As we got into the song, Derek and I rocked to the beat. Then he started to laugh. "What?" I said, leaning in close to him, so that he could hear me over the music. "Nothing. I just don't think I've seen you have this much fun in a while."
I pulled back from him. It was true. With everything that had been going on lately, I haven't been really relaxing. Coming here was a good idea after all. As the song died down, we went to go get some more drinks. "Looks like your having fun." I hear someone say on the side of me. I turn to see that it's Emily. "Yeah. I see you and Garcia are enjoying yourselves." We looked back at her. She was laughing, and dancing with her drink in her hand. "Yeah." she said, smiling. Then another Usher song came on.
She Don't know that she makin' me want her. (Yeah)
No more, she tryin' to keep me from her. (Yeah)
She Don't know that she makin' me love her. (Yeah)
No more she tryin' to keep me from her. (Yeah)
"Oh! I like this song." I said, turning towards Derek. "Your an Usher fan?" He said, a little bit surprised. "Yeah. I am." He laughed. "I'll keep that in mind." I looked out on the dance floor. I lot of people wee dancing. "Come on. Lets get out there." Derek took a sip of his beer. "Alright" He said, standing up. This wasn't really all that shocking to either one of us. I mean he knew I was gay, and that I was openly happy about it. He often told me that he was going to try and hook me up with somebody, but I told him that when I wanted to date somebody, he would be the first to know.
Girl that's so cold. She know what I know.
But she keep her mouth closed.
She so sexual, and she knows.
She don't know. That it's killing me inside cuz I want her body.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Making our way to the dance floor, we take a spot in the corner. We started laughing as we danced to the song. Paid no mind to anybody that was watching us. We were just enjoying ourselves. With my hands around his neck, and his around my waist. We were bumping to the beat. As Luda's part came on, he leaned over so that he could say something into my ear. "I told you, you would have fun tonight." I didn't have to see his face to see that he was smiling.
"Yeah. You did." He laughed some more.
"I didn't think you could loosen up this much."
I shook my head.
"There are a lot of things that you don't know about me Derek Morgan."
He pulled me closer to him.
"Oh yeah? Like what?" His voice was more on the flirtatious side now. "Wouldn't you like to know?" He pushed me up against the wall. "I would." I looked at him for a long minute. I wasn't sure if I was just dreaming this, or if it was really happening. I mean. I have had a crush on Derek for the longest time, but to see him this aggressive, and it not be a dream.
It must be the achool.
He smiled. "So you going to tell me, or what?" I looked down at the floor. If this was the only time that I was going to get this close to him, then I was going to make it count. So I kissed him. I kissed him full hard on the lips. We stopped dancing, and he ran his hand through my hair. He was a much better kisser than I thought he would be. When we pulled back, we were both breathing hard. "Or what?" I said, walking away, and back to the bar. Best night ever.
End Flashback
"That was a great night." I said, looking back over at him. "Yeah. It was." He pulled off the road. I gave him a questioning look. "What are you doing?" He turned the car off. "Finally telling you what you've been wanting to know since I walked out of your apartment 4days ago." "What?" I said, still not understanding were he was going with this. "Why I broke up with you." My heart stopped.
