Feb 26 – Song Prompt - Blue - One Love
He had finally made the decision, 7-years had been long enough, they flirted, they said "I love you",they did everything but sleep together, well at least in that sense of the word. They had shared a bed, but did nothing more than sleep.
He walked into the BAU and straight to her den.
"Hey sug, what brings you here?" she asked turning around.
"I want to ask you something."
"Sure thing, what's up?"
"I want to talk to you, but I don't know how to go about doing it, I don't want to ruin what we got..."
"What's this about, Derek?"
"Us, this...well us..."
"You aren't making sense," she stated.
"I know you are with Lynch, but I need to talk to you, there is some things I need to say."
"When and where, sugar?" she asked.
"How about 8-pm, the diner on the corner?"
Garcia was wondering what was so important to him that he couldn't come right out and tell her, they had been friends for so long, told each other everything, why would he figure it would ruin their friendship? She left from work and walked over, he was already sitting, drinking a cup of coffee.
"Want something?" he asked hailing the waitress and Garcia gave her order to her.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" she asked.
" I believe, love is all we need," he said quickly.
"Morgan, this is not like you, what is up?" she asked, taking his hand.
"Penelope Garcia, I am in love with you." he finally admitted.
She nearly spit her drink out at him. "You what?" she asked, wondering if she had heard wrong.
"I am in love with you! I am sorry for the timing, I wish I would have told you earlier, I saw how happy you were running off to Kevin and a piece of my heart died, I decided I had to tell you, you deserved to know, I just hope it doesn't ruin our friendship. I need you in my life. You are better than anything I would ever deserve."
She took a deep breath, "Morgan, what the hell took you so long?" She asked, not really expecting an answer. "It won't change anything, sugar, want to know what, I am in love with you too?"
He was taken back. "What does this mean now? What about Lynch?"
"What do you want it to mean?" she asked.
"I want you to be mine, and mine alone." he admitted.
"You do realize that you could have done this how many years ago?"
"I know, and if you will let me I will spend the rest of my life making this up to you, what do you say?"
"I say I need to go have a conversation with Kevin, what are you doing later?" she asked.
"I'd say I am going to show my girlfriend how happy I am she picked me."
"I will see you in a few hours." she said squeezing his hand. He just smiled, he couldn't stop smiling.
