~~2 weeks later~~

The past two weeks have been pretty normal. I haven't been going on a lot of cases though. I usually help Garcia and fill out paperwork. It's pretty good though. JJ and I are best friends now. We hang out a lot and always text. Emily and I are kinda friends; we don't talk a lot but I consider her trustworthy. My dad is slowly getting used to the idea of working with me. Reid and I are pretty close. We always goof off around the office and get coffees for everyone. Garcia is my second best friend. We hand out at my place a majority of the week and videochat. Then there's Morgan.

I hate to admit it, but I have fallen for Derek Morgan. I realized it a couple days ago and since then I've been avoiding him. I'm trying to ignore my feelings, hoping if I do for enough time then they'll go away. It's hard though considering we work together and our desks are so close. Even if we wanted to be together, it would be frowned upon since we're partners. I get so frustrated, because I feel butterflies when I see him. The smile he gives me every morning makes me feel like I can live through anything. The many compliments I recieve from him make me feel like I'm on cloud 9. The way his hand 'accidently' brushes mine when he hands me paperwork makes sparks shoot through my whole body like lightning painting the sky. I had to ignore it all though. We're just partners, and it's all we'll ever be. Or so I thought...

I sat at my desk filling out paperwork when my Dad told me I could take a quick break if I wanted. I thanked him before standing up and heading to the breakroom. I didn't realize I was being followed till I got pinned to the wall in an empty hallway. I looked at him, "What are y-" He cut me off by pressing his soft and alluring lips to mine with such passion that it took me a minute to comprehend this was real. He almost pulled away till my instincts kicked in and I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer if possible. His hands wrapped around my waist. I remembered that you need to breath so I slowly pulled away, my breathing heavy and my arms dropping. "Derek we can't do this." I whispered making him frown slightly and clench his fists that were now resting beside my head, "Why not? If this is about work, I don't care what they think. I wanna be with you and I will do anything to make that happen. Just tell me you want it too." I looked into his eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry." Before ducking under his arm and running away. I ran into the girls washroom and slid down the door, tears rushing down my face. I stayed in there just crying for a good ten minutes till I heard a soft knock on the door, "Lex? It's JJ and Garcia," I heard JJ'S voice quietly say, "Please open the door." I slowly stood up and opened it. They walked in and gave me a giant group hug after locking the door. I sobbed into their shoulders as they tried calming me down.

I fixed my makeup and followed the girls back to the office. My dad called a meeting so we all headed up to the conference room. My dad could tell something was wrong so he told me I could go home for the day since I wouldn't be going with them on this case. I gave him, JJ, and Garcia all hugs and walked out, feeling a pair of eyes follow my every move.

I was sitting beside Garcia wokring the next day when my phone started ringing for the thousandth time today. I hit decline and sighed. "Who was that?" Garcia asked. "Derek." JJ and Garcia knew all about Derek and I's moment the other day. "You should at least talk to him. I mean you work together, you're going to have to eventually confront him. It's now or later." I sighed, "I choose later." She groaned and we dropped the subject.
