Unheard Conversations

Monday morning Prentiss arrived at work. She walked into the breakroom and went straight for the coffee. As she was leaving, Reid entered the breakroom and almost pushed Prentiss over.

"Wow Reid. Calm down. Do you really need coffee that badly that you had to nearly knock me down?" Prentiss asked trying not to sound angry.

"Oh, sorry. I had a long night."

"Oh." Prentiss said walking out of the room.

At around 2:00, Prentiss walked to the locker room. As she was leaving, she heard Morgan and Reid talking while walking in the door. She ran behind a row of lockers so she could hear what they were saying.

"Reid you're never going to get a date if you don't ask her out."

"What if she doesn't like me back?"

"Are you kidding me? Have you seen the way she's been looking at you lately?"

"No. I don't see any difference in her."

"Just ask her out. You like her right?"

Prentiss was listening closer, hoping they would mention who 'she' was.

"Yea, but-"

"Come on man, the worst thing Prentiss can do is kick your ass."

Prentiss was shocked when she heard Morgan say her name.

"WHAT? Does Reid really like me like that? I wonder when he started liking me. I've had feelings for him ever since the incident in Colorado."

"Okay, Morgan. I'll take your advice and ask her out."

Prentiss almost fainted when she heard him say that. She kept wondering what he wouatld say to her and when he would ask her out. She was so deep in thought that she didn't notice that Reid and Morgan left the locker room.

At the end of the day, Prentiss was just getting ready to leave for the day. As she was walking to the elevators, Reid ran up behind her.

"Hi, Reid." Prentiss said trying not to get lost in his big brown eyes.

"Hey, Emily. Can I ask you something?"

"Sure, what is it?"

"Umm... I was wondering if maybe you would like to-"

"I would love to go out with you, Reid."

"Really? How did you know I was going to ask you out though?"

"I kind of overheard you and Morgan talking in the locker room."

"Ooooooooooooh. Wow that's um embarrassing."

"Don't freak out. I already said yes."

"Okay. So, when do you want our first date to be?"

"How about tomorrow?"

"Okay. I'll pick you up at 7."

"Okay. See you then."

Reid walked back pover to his desk to find Morgan smiling at him.

"So, did you ask her out?"

"Yea and she said yes."

"I told you she would say yes. So when's your first date?"

"Tomorrow. Well, I gotta go. See you tommorow."
