"Maybe I was naïve; got lost in your eyes and never really had a chance"
After being gone a week and a half Morgan was glad to be back in Quantico. He was especially glad that he was going to get to see Garcia again. They talked on the phone daily when the team needed her to run background checks on possible unsubs. As soon as they were in the FBI headquarters Garcia's office was the first place Morgan went.
"Baby Girl" he said coming up behind her and giving her shoulders a squeeze.
"Hey Hot Stuff." she said spinning around in her chair to face him.
"Are you busy tonight?" he asked, smiling the smile he knew Garcia loved the most.
Instantly Garcia felt her heart take off in her chest. So he really was in love with her! It was a Friday night and Morgan wanted to spend it with her!
"Not yet." she said.
'Well now you have a date with your hot stuff at seven."Garcia laughed at his boldness and as he turned to leave she said:
"Wait! Don't I get to know where we're going?"
Derek turned back around and stuck his head in the door: "Your just going to have to patient Pen. If I tell you where we're going, then it will take away the anticipation."
As soon as he was on down the hall Garcia groaned. Seven was nearly three hours away!
Three hours later, as he promised Morgan came to Garcia's office and together they walked out to Morgan's SUV.
"Cool SUV." Garcia commented. Normally, whenever they went places they took "Esther" Garcia's car.
"Thanks Pen. Your car isn't all that bad either."
She just smiled and nodded at him. She kept wondering if he knew she was ease dropping that
day but changed her mind about it. If Morgan would have suspected it he would have told her.
"You still haven't told me where we're going." She said.
"Hang on a minute Pen. We're almost there."
Sure enough within the next three minutes a huge park about twenty minutes from Quantico came into view. It was beautiful with trees every which way.
"A park hot stuff? That's really.. Romantic." Garcia said looking out the window. She was going to worm this out of Morgan. She wanted him to tell her he loved her.
The minute she said: "Romantic" Morgan turned to look at her. She didn't act like she knew anything so he reached in the back seat to get his picnic basket.
'Let's go have a picnic." he said with a grin getting out of the SUV and walking towards a beautiful lake.
Garcia was in shock. How did Morgan know that the most romantic thing in Garcia's opinion was for a guy to take a girl on a picnic date? The only person she'd ever told was JJ. It then hit her like a wall of bricks. JJ told him that as advice to get her to be Morgan's girlfriend. Garcia skipped up to catch up to him wondering when he was going to tell her how much he really cared. Once they were at a spot close to the lake Morgan set up and began to unload the food Garcia noticed how much thought he put into the picnic. All of the foods he packed were Garcia's favorites. He even had brought a bottle of wine. It was even red. The kind she drank. Instantly Garcia was nervous. When was he going to tell her?
"Morgan what is all of this?" she asked. She was trying not to let him know she knew a thing.
"Well Pen, I just wanted to take you out. We haven't spoke too much in the last few months."
"Is that really all this is?" she asked giving him a small smile when there eyes met.
"Then you think your not a profiler Pen. He said. Then he got serious. " There is a reason I brought you here though. I think I may be in love with you."
And yes, I am leaving this chapter on a cliffhanger! Please Review!
