Alright, I'm not usually the type to go all boy crazy. That's why I'm finding my behaviour strange. I involuntarily walked over to Reid's office. It was like my body was just walking there and no matter how much I told myself not to, I ended up doing it anyway.
I felt myself knock on his office door and I was greeted with a loving, welcoming smile.
"Hey, Desiree. How are you?" he asked with a huge smile on his face. I was wondering why he wasn't as upset as he should be. He was getting divorced for goodness sake.
"I'm fantastic, how are you? Are you okay?" I replied.
"I'm perfectly fine, why wouldn't I be?" he asked, sounding confused.
"Um," I said, not knowing how to put it gently, "you're getting divorced. Aren't you at least a little bit sad?"
"Nope, I am not. It's hard to when you're in love," he said extremely cheerful and optimistic. It hurt to hear him say he was already in love with someone else.
"Oh. Who are you in love with?" I asked with curiosity. I knew I was sticking my nose in where it didn't belong, but I wanted to know.
"Guess. Ask questions and I'll give you yes or no answers," he said sounding excited.
"Do I know her?" I started.
"Yes. Better than I do," he said, grinning at me. I was desperately hoping for him to say it was me he was in love with. I knew that would never come true, though.
I thought of my own hair colour.
"Does she have naturally light brown hair?" I asked.
"Yes," he said. I was eager to find out who it was.
"Does she have grey eyes?"
"Yes."
The more questions I asked, the more it sounded like this woman was really similar to me.
"Is her favourite colour blue?" I asked. He nodded. I looked down at my painted nails, noticing the colour of them.
"Does she own purple nail polish?" I asked.
"Yep, she does," he answered. He said I know her better than he does. The only female I know fitting that description is me. That's when it hit me.
"It's.." I started, unable to finish.
"You," Reid finished my sentence for me. He walked over to me, leaned down and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, taking in and treasuring every single moment. We pulled apart and we stared into each other's eyes. I couldn't stop smiling.
My heart was racing so fast I thought I might have had a heart attack and it felt like the butterflies in my stomach were going to be able to be heard. I've been waiting for that moment for a while. I thought it would never happen.
"I love you, Reid," I said, continuing to stare into his beautiful blue eyes.
"I love you too," he said.
I guess there was a reason my body involuntarily took me to his office. I'm glad it did. If it hadn't, I probably would never know how it felt to have that much joy in my life. I would never forget it, either.
