Chapter Three

We had just finished, and were heading back to the hotel. We drove in silence, each of us all in our own thoughts. I was thinking about to get Hotch to agree with me sleeping either on the floor or couch. But I wasn't coming up with anything, to useful. When we pulled into the parking lot, we all got out of the vehicles, and headed up to the room. Rossi was the first through his. JJ and Emily were laughing, as they headed into their room. And Morgan and Garcia were smiling when their door closed. Hotch had the door opened, by the time the others were in closed. When we had checked in, we just placed our bags on the beds. Then left quickly to get to the station. After he quickly walked in, he started to unpack his bag.. I took my to-go bag off of the bed, and threw it, in the corner, and placed my messenger bag on the floor next to it. As Hotch continued to unpack, I looked around before deciding on speaking.

"Mind if I take the first shower?" I asked quietly.

"Go for it." He replied.

I grabbed my shower stuff, and headed into the bathroom. As I turned on the water, to let it heat up, before stripping down. Once I was out of my clothes, I climbed into the shower, and under the water. I washed my body, with soap first. I was standing there raising my self off, staring into space. When I realized what I was doing, I shook my head, and washed the soap off. I finished my shower quickly figuring Hotch would want to shower tonight as well. After my hair was washed, and raised, I jumped out, and wrapped a towel around myself. I walked out, with a towel in my hand, that I was using to dry my hair. Once I was out of the bathroom, Hotch walked in closing the door behind him self. I heard him turning the water on. Figuring he was taking a shower, I waited a few moments, and grabbed my clothes, before unwrapping the towel.

"Shit! Sorry, Reid." Hotch was saying, as he turned his head. "I thought you were dressed."

"Hotch !" I squalled at the same time. I tried to wrap the towel around my waist again. But couldn't get a good hold of it. "What….what'd…" I tried to asked, but failed.

"I forgot to grab a towel. Are you descent?" He asked, still turned away from me.

"Yeah." I answered, finally able to get the towel around myself.

"Sorry." He apologized again, after grabbing the towel, and walking back into the bathroom.

Once the door was closed again, I quickly got dressed. I could still feel the slight ting on cheeks. As soon as I was dressed, I climbed onto the couch, and wrapped a blanket around my legs. I must have, fallen asleep sometime whilst reading.

"Reid." I heard someone say, while they tried to shake me awake. But my eyes would open all the way.

I only woke once during the night. And that was only because my blanket fell off. Once I had it over me again, I fell asleep immediately. When I woke up in the morning, I felt something, or someone, holding me.

My eyes flew open, and I quickly turned to see where I was.

"Morning." Huffed a very tiresome Hotch.

He moved his arm from around my waist, and rolled over.

"When did I get in the bed?" I asked, as I rubbed sleep from my eyes.

"Last night." Hotch answered, pulling his clothes out of the closet. "You fell asleep on the couch. So I carried you and placed you in the bed."

"Oh." Was all I could manage. Not fully understanding why.

"Get ready, we've got to get going in a few." Hotch ordered, going into the restroom.

I just want to say, that I will try to update this story at least once a week. And it most likely will be sometime between Thursday-Sunday. Those are the days that are the least busy. But it all depends on what I have planned and going on Weekends. So thank you to all those who have been patient.
