"Girls, you made it!" Morgan says while approaching Emily and I with open arms. Emily enters his embrace first while asking how his trip to Chicago was, then it's my turn as he answers her.
"It's was good, you know just the usual?" He smiles and hands us both a drink. "There's gonna be a lot of people here that you don't know, but you'll be fine." He smiles again and walks toward the living room, Emily follows and I follow her.
When we enter Garcia's colourful living room, she jumps to her feet and also pulls us both into a tight hug. "I'm glad you could make it!" She drunkenly smiles. "Spencer is a little busy right now." She nods toward the stairs and her smile changes to a smirk. Emily laughs with a shocked expression and I join her.
I know he's obnoxious and really doesn't care about anyone bar himself, but I honestly didn't expect him to sleep with someone in Garcia's house. Before I can say anything, Garcia waltzes away to be with her "big black six pack."
"You jealous?" Emily raises an eyebrow and nudges me with her arm. "No! What is it with you guys, why do you all think I fancy him?" I frown and Emily laughs.
After about 10 minutes I see Spencer enter the room and sit on Garcia's sofa. A woman makes her way across the room and sits beside him, drunkenly whispering things into his ear. I can feel myself getting a little jealous, I do find Spencer very attractive, but I can't let anyone know that. It's only a crush and it will pass.
A tall ginger man approaches me. "Hi, I'm James." He holds out his hand with a smile. I take it and introduce myself as JJ. James talks down my ear, but I can't but help watch the dirty woman's hand slide up Spencer's thigh. My eyes meet James' again and he place his fingers on my cheek. An unpleasant tingle runs through my spine and he leans in for a kiss.
I look back to Spencer, he isn't paying one bit of attention to me, instead his eyes are locked with the woman's beside him. When I look back to James his eyes are tinted with a little hurt. I guess I just rejected him when I looked back at Spencer.
I open my mouth I apologise but he doesn't allow me. "It's ok." He leans a little further away from me. "I get it." He smiles a little. "Why don't you go and speak to him?" He nods toward the door that Spencer is making his way through.
"Oh, I don't-"
"JJ, you don't have to hide it from a man you barely know. It's too obvious." He points to his face and smiles again. "Fresh eyes." He takes a large mouthful of his drink and walks away.
I look back to the door that Spencer previously walked through and make my way outside. He's leaning against the wall with his hands deep in his pocket. His hair is fairly messy, springing from all directions of his face. His skin is glowing slightly and his plump lips are pushed into a straight line. Obviously he's frowning, but I can't help the urge to shove his shoulder.
"Are you being moody and boring again?" I ask and his frowning eyes look at me. "What is it with you? You're so fucking annoying." I drop my bottom lip hoping to lighten him up. It doesn't work. "You're drunk?" He sighs and I pull my lip in again. "Not really. I've had a few drinks, but not much." I say while sitting on the door step.
Spencer joins me and I hold out my red cup. "Want some?" I haven't actually seen Spencer drink yet tonight. "I'm alright." He says while actually smiling. I smile back and place the drink down beside me.
"So what brings you out here? Is our bad boy Spence havi-"
"Spence?" I close my mouth, realising what I said when he questions me. His frown grows deeper and deeper and I get the feeling I've ruined everything.
"I'm sorry Spencer, I just-" the door opens and I stop speaking again. "What is our favourite duo doing out here ey?" Morgan towers over us both with a giant smile covering his face. "I thought you two hate each other?" He sits in between us and wraps his arms around our shoulders. I laugh a little, but Spencer doesn't seem to notice. He's still looking at me with a frown coving his eyebrows.
Morgan tells me about his night so far and how so many of Garcia's friends have tried hitting on him. "I'm gonna let you in on a little secret JJ, Emily-" his voice drifts off and both our eyes move to Spencer. Morgan starts to laugh and I can feel the embarrassment making it's way through my body as Spencer snaps out of his stare. His stare that was directed at me.
"Alright pretty boy." He slaps Spencer's back and climbs to his feet. "I'll leave you to it." The door opens again as he makes his way back into Garcia's house and I look at Spencer.
He rolls his eyes and also stands to his feet. I'm so sick of him brushing me off like I don't matter. "Spencer." I grab his arm and his slanted eyebrows raise. "What are you-"
"Why do you always do this?" His eyebrows revert back to his usual position. "Do what?" He attempts to enter the house, but I pull him back and close the door. "You're always brushing me off, acting like I mean nothing to you and always-"
"JJ, you do mean nothing to me." He pushes his long hair from his face and smirks.
"Why are you saying that?" I can feel the anger and hurt building from the pit of my stomach as he pushes his hands back into his pockets. "The only people that matter are my mum, Morgan and Garcia... Why don't you just fuck off?" He throws his hands in the air. "Stop getting under my skin with your stupid, pretty fucking smile, and your beautiful blue eyes, and your stupid, stupid fucking laugh that's so cute I just want to-" he stops, realising what he has just said and slaps his forehead. Hard.
He punches the wall and kicks Garcia's door while pulling at the roots of his hair. I watch him quietly, completely shocked by his words. He turns to face me again and grabs a hold of my face.
His lips press to mine and our tongues become tied, his mouth tastes like cherries and then I know he has been drinking. His constant pace becomes slower and his hands move to my waist. I twist my fingers through his long hair and his kiss becomes deeper. He pulls away a little and a moan escapes my mouth from the loss of contact.
He leans in again gently kissing me, allowing his tongue to slide along my bottom lip, teasing me with the need for him. He pulls me tighter, my chest firmly pressed against his. Our tongues become entwined again and this time he moans.
A feeling of content spreads it's way through my body, but then he pulls away again. His frown is momentarily gone, a peaceful smile planted upon his now pink lips. We're both breathlessly looking into each other's eyes, me desperate for more. I need him, I need all of him.
His arms relax as he releases me from his grip. "I- that- fuck." His frown reappears and he leans forward against the wall. His head and arms pressed are against the brick as he mumbles and grunts. Worry pulses through every inch of me, completely replacing the earlier feeling. "JJ-" he sighs and faces me again. "That was completely inappropriate. I can't-" he pushes his messy hair over his head and heads back into Garcia's house.
When I go back inside I can't see Spencer anywhere, all around me is just people I don't know. I begin to walk up the stairs an when I reach the top I notice Derek and Emily talking at the end of the hall. I'm just about to ask them if they've seen Spencer when Morgan leans in and pecks Emily on the lips. I stand there for a moment, completely shocked.
He leans in again and before I can even walk back down the stairs, their tongues are down each other's throats. I can't help but laugh, I'm laughing all the way until I reach the bottom and find Garcia, a little too drunk.
"JJ!" She dances over to me, her arms open wide. "Where did you get off to? Where have you been?" She reaches me and wraps her arms around my body, squeezing me so tight i almost can't breathe. I laugh at her and she offers me another drink, realising I'm getting a little too sober after kissing Spencer, I accept. "Are you having fun?" She asks with one arm still around my waist. I smile and nod yes. "Good, good... I love you JJ, you know that right? You're such a nice girl and I didn't think I'd like you at first and then we spoke and now I love you!" She takes a large breath after her long sentence. "I love you too Garcia." She grabs my face and gives me a drunken kiss on the cheek. "Have fun my little munchkin."
Once Garcia has left me I notice Spencer in the kitchen with the woman from earlier. Again she's leaning all over him and attempting to touch him everywhere. I watch them for about three minutes before Spencer looks up and notices me staring. He looks back down to the brunette and then back up to meet my eyes.
The girl grabs his hair and lowers his head to hers. She kisses him slowly and he lets her. He gropes her arse and pulls her into him while she plays with his hair, looking at me the whole time. Why would he do that? I can't watch, I have to leave. Why would he kiss me so passionately and then kiss another girl in front of me?
I storm toward the front door, saying goodbye to no one. I can feel the alcohol seeping through my veins and I know it's not a good idea to head home on my own, but I can't stay here any longer. I can't watch him with another woman, I just can't.
I walk down Garcia's street hoping to see a cab drive by, I didn't drive here, Emily drove us. I know she'll be fine with Morgan, now I just need to find a way home.
When I'm about half way down the street I hear a car and a familiar voice. "JJ" I turn to face the reason I met Spencer.
