Work Affairs A.H

Chapter 11

Alice looks back at Morgan and Reid arguing and says," I am trying to drive here. Stop arguing over a movie."
Morgan says," Sweetheart have you ever seen these movies?"
Reid says," statically speaking Jar Jar was the worst rated character. It ruined the first movie."
Morgan laughs and says," Nerds are always so serious. I am just saying he made me laugh which was really nice throughout that whole boring first movie."
Reid says," Are we almost home? I am feeling nauseous."
Alice says," its right here baby boy. "
Spencer smirks and says," dangerous game pretty girl."
Morgan yells," Damn Spencer you do got game."
Alice pulls in to the drive way. Alice smirks and says," I am sure Reid has plenty of game. Nerdy boys are cute."
Morgan laughs and says," you finally falling off those bad boys."
Spencer smiles and says," she'd switch for me," getting out of the car.
Morgan gets out the car high fiving Spencer's new found liquid courage.
Alice says,"ok calm down pretty boy." They walk into the house. Alice walks to the shower and says," Dibs. I suggest if you need a bathroom shower together ."
Spencer smirks and says," I could always shower with gorgeous."
Alice bites her lip and says," tempting lover but you are drunk and we are coworkers."
Morgan winks and says," I won't tell."
Alice grabs the clothes in and says," oh Spence got to sleep.  Morgan I thought it was you and I. "
Morgan says," come pretty boy let's go watch some movies."
Alice shuts the door and says," Behave boys ."
Morgan yells," no promises."
Alice turns on the water taking the brisk shower then changing in to her pj's. She looks at her phone. 3 unread messages all from Colin .message one," Alice will you give me another chance?" Message two ," I am sorry I know you are with your boyfriend." He messages," I can treat you better."
Alice forwards the messages to Morgan.
She walks out of the room towel on her head heading into her room after plugging in her phone falling asleep. Her alarm goes off at 9, she slaps the snooze button for 30 mins getting up at 630. She sighs exhausted and pulls on a light pink button up shirt and matching black slacks . She walks out of the room greeted by a super hung over Dr Reid and Morgan.
She smiles and says," well good morning boys how does your guys head feel?"
Spencer grimaces and says," Why didn't you cut me off last night? I am seriously dehydrated. "
Alice says," I feel like Alcohol is only thing that makes you more social.  You were chatting up all sorts of girls last night."
Morgan laughs and says," even Alice. Play boy my man."
Alice says," lets go out to breakfast where is the closes diner from here?"
Morgan says," 15 mins I'll drive. "
Reid smiles and says," I am sorry Alice. "
Alice winks and says," you are all good pretty boy."
He laughs following them out to the car. Morgan says," Get in ."
The drive the 15 mins laughing the whole way to the nice little diner. Morgan grabs them a table as they all sit down ordering food. Reid says," Greasy food is known to be the best hangover food."
Alice says," in college after a fun night I would order pancakes and bacon and be good by 12 o clock for lecture."
Morgan laughs and says," of course you would be the life of the party."
Alice says," only after a couple years. At first I was really serious about studying ."
Reid says," no fun for me I was in college at like 14. Could you imagine how lack luster that was?"
Alice laughs and says," I could only imagine.  And mister Morgan the ultimate lady's man."
They finish up the food rushing to take Reid home . Morgan and Alice run in to the grocery store. Morgan says," we are barely home. Do you really want to grab groceries?"
Alice laughs and says," Morgan.  We need to buy something other than protein bars and shakes muscle man."
Derek widely smiles and says," fine girl."
Alice says," and you are buying ."
Morgan says," Sounding like a girlfriend to me."
Alice grabs his hand and pulls him down a bunch of different aisles. Morgan says," you are going to eat all this food. How do you stay so fit?"
Alice laughs and says," I have no idea really. Food and alcohol are my life. "
Morgan says," so I am guessing I am going to have to train you to pass your physical. "
Alice pulls the cart threw the checkout. She greets the attendant as shes scanning her items through. Morgan says," you are really trying to break my bank." Morgan slides the car punching in the code. Alice grabs the cart as they are heading out of the grocery store.
Morgan looks at Alice as they load Morgan's car full off groceries in car. He says," Whats been going on with you and hotch?"
Alice says," What you mean ?"
Morgan smiles widely and says," you guys are always arguing? Are you guys in something?"
Alice laughs trying to hide any emotion. She says," your boss is just an asshole."
Morgan says," you are into assholes." She moves him aside getting into the passenger seat. Morgan gets in and says," that wasn't a no. "
Alice says," drive. And I want nothing to do with that man. He constantly bullies me. "
Morgan nods and drives out of the parking lot, the 10 mins to the house. Morgan says," Just try to get along with Hotch so we can take our vacation. "
Alice grabs the groceries out the car and say," fine I'll be on best behavior."
Morgan grabs the rest of food helping Alice in to the house.
They spend the last hour dancing and putting the food away.
Morgan says," Pasta ?"
Alice says," I love pasta ."
She grabs the stuff, putting a pot of water on the stove.
Morgan says," Should we invite the group?"
Alice yells," Everyone besides hotch."
Morgan yells back ," so double invite him."
Alice laughs making the sauce for the noodles. 20 mins later, Spencer,  Gideon, JJ, Penelope,  and Hotch are at the door. Alice opens the door and greets Spencer, JJ , Penny, and Gideon with a  hug.
They walk past Alice holding up the wine and stuff they brought. Hotch looks down firmly and walks past Alice not saying on word.
Alice closes the door and whisper," prick."
Hotch growls,"mind your manners."
Alice flips him off and heads to the kitchen helping Morgan serve the food.
They all sit down making it so the only seat open was between Hotch And Reid.
Reid smiles and says," Thank you for the food Alice."
Gideon smiles and says," yes it's delicious. So nice to have a quiet night away from the office."
Hotchs hand rubs her thigh squeezing it night paying attention to her reaction.
Alice coughs and says," I am so glad I joined the BAU. "
The smirk that marks Hotchs face makes her weak.
Reid says,"  I am really happy you joined too. You have been a blast and a great agent."
