Chapter Seventeen

Ashley's POV~

I felt something soft and squishy on my face. It was really cold.

"What are you doing?" I whispered.

"Crap." Morgan muttered, "Chad, Caleb. She's awake."

I sat up and opened my eyes, not really wanting. Only to find out that it was whip cream.

"Hey, is this dairy free?" I smirk.

"Yeah. Why?" Chad asks.

"Just wondering." I smile, I turn to Joey to see that he also has whip cream on his face. I laid back down and snuggled against his body. I kissed his cheek, and then moving to his lips, smearing the whip cream every where.

Once he woke up, he had a smirk. He whispered in my ear, and I grinned like a maniac. We both got up suddenly and tackled the three guys. He got Chad, and I got Morgan. Caleb just got lucky.

"Get off!" Morgan struggled.

I then took a handful of the cream off my face and shoved it in his. I got off his back and collapsed on the floor laughing. Joe came back and fell on the floor with me.

"Hey! People are trying to sleep." Spencer whines.

"Sorry Spence." I laugh.

"What happened here?" Rossi asks,  walking in.

"Morgan, Chad and Caleb happened." I smile.

"Oh, wait until Alan finds out." Joe laughs.

"Wait till Alan finds out what?" Alan says, walking into the room. "Okay, who did it?"

Everyone was silent. Morgan looked completely unfazed, obviously hiding his nervousness. Chad was trying to hide, but being a profiler help pick out certain behaviors. Caleb looked completely nervous.

"Morgan helped." I say, breaking the ice.

"If it happened to me, you know who did it." Joe laughs, looking at Chad.

"And me." Caleb said quietly.

"Then why do you two have it on your faces?" Alan asks, pointing to Morgan and Chad.

"They attacked us." Morgan tattled.

"Only because you did it to us." I laugh.

"Whatever, just get cleaned up." Alan sighs. Everyone leaves the room and Morgan and Chad clean themselves up. I looked over Joe.

"Wasn't that fun?" I smile.

"It was." He laughs.

"Come on you two. We have to leave in two hours. And we still have to pack." Alan demands.

"Yes sir." I giggle. I get up and pull Joey to his feet. Joey grabbed me by the waist and pulled me super close.

"You have a little somethin'." He laughs.

"And so do you." I smile.

"Can I do the honors?" He asks. I nod, laughing at his goofiness. He leans in and kisses me. Then a perfect idea hit me. I placed my hand on his cheek, and scooping some whip cream off his face, and then placed my hand in his hair. Smearing it everywhere.

He pulled away and laughed, "Really? The hair?"

I nodded, "Yep."

"Guh, I love you." He sighs.

"I know. I love me too." I giggle.

"Is that so?" He asks.

"Nah, I love you too." I smile, kissing his cheek. I then walk off to the bathroom to shower.

Hopefully taking all this whip cream off. When I stepped out, the cold air hit my body making me shiver. I wrapped the towel around my body, and walking back into Joey's and I's room. I scavenged through my bag, looking for an outfit.

Finally deciding on my 'I'm a lightbulb' tshirt, and black skinny jeans. I put those on and finished getting ready before packing my bag.

Joey walked up behind and started playing with my hair. Like always, but I don't question it.

"Why is your hair so soft?" Joey asks.

"I dunno, probably because I use conditioner." I laugh. I turned around to face him.

"I don't wanna leave here." Joe whines.

"Sorry, New York's next." I smile.

"You like New York, don't you?" He laughs.

"Maybe, a little. It's really crowded, but it's a nice place." I say.

"It is." He smiles.

"Hey, you two ready in there?" Alan asks.

"Yeah. We're coming." I sigh. Joe grabs our bags and we walk out. The team also have their bags out front too.

"Okay. So JJ and I are going back to Nashville. Rossi and Emily are staying here for a few days. Morgan and Reid, you're going to New York with everyone else." Hotch demands.

"Alright. Let's go, the bus is waiting." Alan says. We all nod, and head out for the bus.

"So, are Pretty Boy and I stayin' on the bus?" Morgan asks.

"Staying." Caleb and I corrected at the same time.

"Yes. Agent Hotchner and I settled this last night." Alan informs.

"Yay." I muttered.

"Oh, babygirl. You know that you're excited to have me." Morgan laughs as he slings his arm on my shoulder.

"Why am I so short?" I whine.

"I don't know, but you're the perfect height for me." Joey smiles.

"Oo. Loverboy gets his flirt on." Morgan teases.

"Derek Morgan." I warn.

"Alright. Just set your stuff in the back. We have enough bunks for everyone to have their own, except Joe and Ash." Alan explains.

"Yes! The first time I don't have to share with Morgan." Spencer cheers.

"Spencer, I get you. He wouldn't stop teasing me when we I was talking to Joe after our first case." I laugh.

"I remember that." Morgan smiles.

"I remember that I punched you, because you scared me." I say.

"I remember that." Joe laughs.

"Yeah. You don't wanna mess with a woman who really loves her husband." Morgan laughs.

I wrap my arms around Joey's torso, "I do love him. You'll feel the same way when God puts that special someone in your life." I smile.

"How long will that take?" Morgan asks, raising an eyebrow.

"When God decides that you need her most." I say.

"You're so good, you know that?" Joe whispers.

"I know." I laugh.

"We should watch a movie. Rochester is only a few hours away." Chad suggests.

"Frozen." I respond.

"I agree." Alan smiles.

"I've never seen it." Spencer says.

"What?!" Alan and I exclaim.

"Now we really have to watch it." Joe laughs.

"I got it!" Caleb smiles.

•A/N•

Ah! I'm so sorry that it's taken so long for an update.

I've been sick. I've been trying to keep up with school. And I had a small case of writers block.

And a fair warning, after mid-February, updates might be slow. I'll be starting soccer. I'll try to keep up with everything. Update as soon as possible.

And, sorry that this chapter is so short.

But,
Enjoy!
