Chapter 5: Persisting

Morgan's POV

A few hours later of clearing my head, I left my office in search of Garcia to apologize for everything that has happened between us in the past couple weeks

Garcia's POV

*Flashback*

"Josh, no come on, please we can work it out" I practically begged

"No Penelope, I'm sorry, but this time you've gone to far, I could deal with the name calling in our little spats, I could deal with you not wanting to kiss me in public, but not wanting to tell our boss we're dating, in fear that she won't approve, just because your afraid you'd lose you job, that's the last straw, we're done. I'm tired of you making me feel like a worthless piece of shit, and that your too embarrassed to be seen with me. I thought what we had was special to you, but obviously I was COMPLETELY wrong. I was such a fool to think that you actually loved me. Please leave" Josh retorted

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, Josh is actually breaking up with me.

"Josh, I-I-I d-d-d-d-do l-l-love y-you! So very much, there's no one else but you, your my snuggle bunny! I'm sorry if I made you feel unloved, or that I was embarrassed to be seen with you, I didn't want that. It's just that I'm afraid that if we told Sullivan, only one of us would be fired and we'd never see each other again. Even worse, she makes us breakup, and just the agonizing pain of seeing you everyday, and me wanting you so badly, will be enough to kill me" I say in between sobs

"Babygirl come on please, don't do this, you know what you've done, now for the sake of the two of us, if you really, mean it that you love me, you'll leave" He said

Finally I give in "Fine, I'll leave but only because you just called me babygirl, so I have a bit of hope to hold on to" I sigh

"Goodbye Penelope" he replies

"Bye Josh, I love you forever and always" I said sadly walking out of his apartment

*End of flashback*

I have got to stay away from lover boy Morgan if I don't want to keep reliving these painful memories.

Morgan's POV

As I'm walking towards Garcia's desk, I notice that it looks like she'd been crying. I wonder what's up?

"Garcia?" I ask

"Mhmm?" She replies absent minded

"Is everything ok? You seem upset" I reply

"I'm fine" she says

"Babygirl, come on do you think I really believe that, I mean your nose is red, your eyes are puffy, you have tear stains on your cheeks and your voice is thick, so I can tell you upset, tell me what's wrong?" I say

"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU BEFORE NOT TO CALL ME THAT NAME EVER AGAIN! MY NAME IS PENELOPE NOT BABYGIRL! AND STOP CROSS EXAMINING ME!" she snaps

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, ok I'm sorry I forgot, and I wasn't cross examining you, I could just tell you were upset by your appearance that's all nothing else!" I put my hands up in surrender as I speak

"I'm sorry" she squeaks tears coming to her eyes

"Hey now, there's no need to get upset, I understand I've over stepped my boundaries, but if you want to talk about what's bugging you, I'm here" I reply sympathetically

"It's ok, thanks anyway. Sorry for blowing up at you" she thanks me

"Your welcome, and don't worry about it. If you ever need anyone to talk to, or blow up at I'm here" I reassured her chuckling slightly

I started to walk away, but I was interrupted, when to my surprise Garcia called out to me. I didn't turn around automatically, because I didn't want her to notice how excited I was that she actually wanted to talk to me again!

"Actually, Morgan, you know what, I'd actually like to talk to you about why I'm acting the way that I am toward you" she said

Looks like I'm finally going to get some answers.
