A/N: Hello Lovelys. I have a favor to ask on a serious note. I will appreciate it if you read my Author's Notes. I'm still getting complaints about Vernix. I do know what his name means... I am actually getting tired of being told told I have to "look it up". As stated in author's notes going to chapter 1, I am a mother. It is the waxy substance that protects a baby in the womb. Just think "What does this say about the character?" like you used to in school. It's really getting bothersome to have to explain this to anonymous reviewers.
Also, I got a review, And It's kinda bothersome. One thing that was asked was "Who is Lycan?" Vernix's Name is Vernix Lycan. His last name has been stated previously.
Okiee, Enough Serious stuff! Soo Thanks for all the support. Sorry, had personal stuff. I will try to get back to my normal schedule. OH! warning before hand, Sight suggestion towards the end. Well it's more obvious. It's definitely PG-13!
Reid walked into the hotel lobby holding Arabella's hand tight. They were leaving tomorrow morning. She had been right, and it was great to see his mom, even though seeing his father wasn't a highlight of the trip. He looked at Arabella and kissed her lightly with a smile. She smiled back. But both smiles disappeared when the man behind them spoke.
"I heard from a friend that you proposed, Reid," said Vernix, coming out of the shadows. He looked like he had been through some sort of trauma and it showed from his weary eyes and his tired demeanor. Even his infuriating smile was absent, with a sad smirk in its place. Reid and Arabella wondered what had happened to him. "Congratulations," he added, bowing to them. for some reason the sad look on his face annoyed Arabella more than the smug one he normally had.
"Thank you." Reid said, guardedly. Arabella raised an eyebrow trying to figure his ulterior motive, since he always had one. She gave a tight smile in looked at them.
"You're probably wondering why I look like this," he said.
"Yes, actually. At least I was." Arabella said. Her tone was a bit more cold and curt than she expected, but she sort of didn't care. That's what he got for interrupting their vacation. They waited for Vernix to continue. He looked around and pulled them aside. She knew right then, he was overacting something. Everyone knows that if you pull someone aside in a crowded room, you're up to something. She sighed inwardly.
"I'm on the biggest case of my life, perhaps of all time," he raised an eyebrow. Arabella looked skeptical. She had figured out that Vernix had a tendency to exaggerate.
'And here it comes...' Arabella thought to herself with a sigh.
"Really." Reid said. It was clearly a statement, not a question. And there was a clear amount of annoyance in his tone as well. Vernix handed them his smartphone, clearly oblivious to their irritation. Reid took it and held it lower than he normally would so Arabella could see.
"What does a drug overdose of a cartel leader in Mexico, the sudden disappearance of a Russian arms dealer and the resignation of a CEO of a PMC all have in common?" he asked them. Seeing their confused looks, again oblivious to the clear annoyance and uninterest on their faces, he pointed to a picture of a lovely Hispanic woman in a business suit. "Her," he answered for them. "Laura DeMico."
"Oh?" Arabella asked, trying, and failing, to not show she was uninterested.
"As interesting as this is," Reid said with barely any emotion, clear to say he didn't find this interesting at all. "Lycan. I'm on vacation."
"Oh... Of course," he said, suddenly starting to lose his vision. "I just... Thought that you'd... At..."
With that, he collapsed, his body tremoring. Arabella's and Reid's eyes went wide. Vernix fell forward onto Reid.
"Spencer. We can't leave him here." She said.
"I know." Reid said. "Help meet him upstairs." Arabella came over and helped Reid pick Vernix up.
"Well there goes our vacation." She muttered to herself as they brought him to their room and put him on the went and sat down on one of the chairs by the t.v.
"I'm sorry Ara." Reid said pulling her into his lap. "It's our vacation and he had to show up." While Vernix was passed out on the bed, the couple tried to salvage their night.
"Its fine. Not your fault, unless you called him." She said slinging her arm on his shoulders. The look on his face made Arabella laugh. It was clear he didn't. "I know you didn't. Besides, we couldn't leave him downstairs. And you're just caring like that. And I happen find it incredibly sexy." She said leaning down and kissing him hard. Vernix started frothing at the mouth and making weird noises. The couple stopped what they were doing and looked up. His eyes flew wide open and he started to scream.
"NEEDLE!" he bellowed, jumping up and scrambling for his bag. "I NEED MY ANTIDOTE! I'VE BEEN POISO-!" He fell on his face with a needle in his hand, filled with a yellowish liquid. "Inject... Me..." he croaked. Arabella fell off Reid's lap as he got up to help. By the time she stood up, Reid was injecting Vernix with the yellow liquid filled syringe. After a short tremor, he slumped back on the ground. Reid picked him up and threw him back on the bed after checking for a pulse, then dropped the syringe into the bag. Reid came over and dropped back down into the chair, looking tired. Arabella climbed back on top of him and put her head on Reid's shoulder.
"I do hope he's ok." She said. "Also, not to sound selfish, but I also do hope he gets up soon and can leave so we can have our last night without Ella, to ourselves." She kissed and nibbled his neck. "I feel like he did this on purpose." They sat there, for an hour, making out like two high schoolers. Vernix woke up after an hour, got up, grabbed his bag, and walked out. The sound of the door slamming pulled both Arabella's and Reid's heads up.
"What was that?" Reid asked. Arabella looked and smiled.
"Vernix left." She said shifting herself so she was now straddling him.
"He could have at least said thank you for us saving his life." Reid said, clearly put off and annoyed.
"Oh shush. You know what that means right? It means we have this place to ourselves again." She reached down and unbuttoned the first two buttons of his shirt and kissed the hollow of his neck. He bit his lip as she did that. Arabella got up and walked to the bed. Knowing Reid to be a bit of a germaphobe, she removed the quilt Vernix had been laying on. She sat on the side of the bed waiting. Reid stood up and moved to her. Well he pounced on her and kissed her hard. It was a wanting, longing kiss. Arabella bit his lip as she undid the rest of his shirt and his hands wormed up hers.
"God you're amazing." Reid moaned as she rubbed his chest lightly. He bent his head down and bit her neck, making her gasp. She grabbed his face and kissed him hard.
"I love you." She panted. Reid stopped for a second and looked her dead in the eyes.
"I love you too." He said. After a minute, he kissed her again, passionately. His hands found their way back under her shirt and pulled it off. She smirked and pushed his off him. It was the beginning of a long and beautiful night.
