“Don’t you have self defence class at three?” Reid asked and pushed away the last
of his paperwork.
“Not for two weeks, my group has a two week intensive course in Krav Magaa.
They got a visiting teacher for that.” Morgan shrugged.
“Anyone I know?”
“Probably not. Christensen, I can’t remember his first name.”
“Chad?”
“Yeah, how did you know?”
“I met him couple years ago. He teached some of my fire arms classes. Are you
going to go see his lesson?”
“Maybe I’ll go take a look. You wanna come?”
Reid tilted his head and smiled. “That could be interesting.”
------------------------------------------------
Morgan blinked once again. He had been staring at them for the last five minutes,
but the sight remained pretty much the same. Christensen had his arm wrapped
around Reid’s shoulders and both of them were chatting eagerly. Reid had said
they knew each other, but casual acquaintances don’t hug each other the way they
had done few minutes ago.
“I gotta go, but call me. We gotta get together, I want to hear everything
you’ve been up to.” Chad was grinning widely.
“I will. You still got the same number?”
“Yep. It was great seeing you.” Chad walked back to check the trainees, and
Reid headed over to Morgan.
“Something you want to tell me?” Morgan crossed his hands on his chest and
gave Reid a questioning look.
“What do you mean?” Reid tried to sound innocent, but he couldn’t control the
mischievous smile on his face.
“Pretty boy, you’re like a skinny Pekingese. When something’s going on, it shows
up on your face, and you can’t help it. Spill.”
”Nothing to spill. I told you we’ve met before.”
”Yeah, but you don’t hug people you’ve known for years. How well did you
know him?”
“Quite well…” Reid chuckled.
“More details.”
“Nothing interesting. It lasted a few months and then it ended.”
“So there was something.”
“Yes, there was something and that’s all you’re going to get.”
-----------------------------------------------------
When they arrived to Morgan`s place an hour later Reid`s patience was becoming
very scarce.
“Would you just stop that? The jealousy was funny and cute, but enough is enough.”
“I’m not jealous, I just want to know!”
“You are jealous, and I’ve never asked you about your old flames.”
“Yes, you have!”
“When?”
“Couple months ago at the movies. When she came to talk to us you stood there
looking at her like she was scouting customers at a street corner. And when she
left-”
“I don’t remember any of this….”
“When she left you started the interrogation.”
“I just asked how long you dated her.”
“And after I told you it lasted two weeks you asked how much penicillin I needed
to get over her.”
“I never said that!”
“You did. It was really weird. Like seeing your mom drunk. You should really talk
like that more often.”
“Let’s just leave the whole topic, okay? What are we having for dinner?”
“I thought we could order a pizza, and before that I want to ask one more question.”
“Fine, one question.”
“What exactly did you see in that guy?”
“What do you mean?”
“The guy’s a total bore. And he’s not even good looking!”
“Morgan, do you mind if I say honestly what I think?”
“Go ahead.”
“You and Chad… let’s compare, shall we? Same age, same ethnicity, same body
type, same style. Are you thinking that I might consider you a substitute for my lost
love and that I subconsciously seek men who fill those specific physical
requirements?”
“I don’t look like him! Much. But are you?”
“Am I what?”
“Looking for someone similar?”
“Morgan…” Reid took a deep breath. “I haven’t even thought about him for
a long time. You have nothing to be scared of.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“Okay.” Morgan grinned. “Just one more question.”
“You already got one question.”
“Just one more.”
“One.”
“How was he in bed?”
“Morgan!”
“I don’t want details, just…. Not as good as me, better than me-”
“That’s it. I’m going to go and order the pizza, you can call Chad and set up
a duel. Or if you think you can act like an adult, you can watch the Star Trek
marathon with me on the couch, eating pizza.”
“Followed be a test run in bed?” Morgan asked hopefully.
“You’re pretty competitive, aren’t you?” Reid smirked.
“Yep. After the pizza I’ll show you just how competitive.”
