Checkmate {Spencer Reid}

5

Fiona woke up with warmth behind her, an arm around her waist. Oh god please tell me I didn't have sex with some stranger yesterday. But as she smelt that familiar scent of peppermint and vanilla she remembered last night, she got drunk, forgot her keys, and Spencer had been kind enough to let her stay over. Cuddling hadn't been discussed. She cleared her throat to try to make him notice that she was awake, thankfully it worked and he groaned, rubbing his eyes. "Good morning." His morning voice was angelic she thought. If only this wasn't the only time she would hear it, but she can't think like that this is her co worker it could never work out.

"Hi." Her voice was low and soft, not knowing what to do in this situation, "My phones dead, can I use yours to call Garcia?" He nodded and handed her his work phone, the only one he had, the line rang 3 time before someone answered.

"...hello?"

"Garcia? You still have my keys from last night could you or Derek drop them off maybe?"

"Where are you calling from?"

"Spencer's.."

"YOU STAYED THE NIGHT AT SPENCERS?!"

Fiona removed the phone from her ear, the screaming only making her slight head ache worse and noticed Spencer chuckle from behind her, she turned around to hush him when she realized he wasn't wearing a shirt. When did he take that off? And when did he get so fit? Spencer noticed Fiona eyeing him and gave her a little smirk, only to see her blush and turn away from him.

"It's not like that Pen, you didn't give me my keys back so I had no other choice, turns out we live in the same apartment complex. Coincidence right?" She heard a sigh at the other end, some keys being thrown, and a small complaint in the background, "Morgan will drive over there now and drop them off." She said, "Hey hey hey, I'm still sleepin' when did I agree to that?" The other voice said. There was some bickering between the two when he finally agreed. "He'll be there in 30 minutes my love, see you on Monday. Don't. Call. Again."

She chuckled as she hung up, Fiona knowing she probably had a massive hangover by now, turning back to Spencer, "Do you have some mouthwash I could use?" He nodded and they walked to the bedroom, it was slightly awkward as she swished the cold liquid in her mouth and spat it back into the sink, she came back up noticing Spencer looking at her through the mirror. Realizing he had been caught he cleared his throat and excused him self to go to the living room.

After she finished washing your face you decided you needed to talk to Spencer, she just cuddled and slept with her co worker, not slept but slept in the same bed. Fiona walked into the kitchen to see Spencer making some coffee, handing one to her in a warm mug, "Thank you, Spencer..can we talk?" Looking up at her he nods, concerned about the tone in her voice. "Listen I appreciate you letting me stay and everything but I just want you to know me spending the night was a one time thing, you're basically a part of my family now just like the rest of the team and I wouldn't wanna do anything to risk losing it."

Spencer had to admit, Fiona seeing him as 'family' was sweet and all but weird considering they were cuddling in his bed earlier. "Don't worry Fiona, I understand." He tried to hide the disappointment from his newest coworker as we wished they could spend more time together. She nodded as she got her clothes together, as if on cue there was a knock on the door signaling Morgan had arrived with Fionas keys, Spencer opened the door hoping the trip would be short. Of course he was wrong.

"So pretty boy, Fiona spent the night huh?" He looked him up and down, "Where's your shirt?" Spencer froze, forgetting he had taken off his shirt during the night when it got too hot, he wasn't used to having extra body heat during the night. "Uh-I- it's not what it looks- I took it off but"

"Relax man, I'm not judging." Morgan raised his hands up defensively as he walked in, "Fiona, got your keys!" She walked out in her clothes from last night and grabbed them, "Oh Morgan! Thank you so much for dropping them off, I'll see you on Monday okay?" She seemed in a hurry as she hugged Morgan and Spencer on her way out, thanking them both again for their chivalry. Spencer sipped his coffee while Morgan's eyes were on him. "What?"

"You like her."

"What no I don't?" He said unconvincingly as his voice got high.

"Don't lie to me kid, I see the way you look at her."

Sighing, Spencer gives in knowing he can't lie to his best friend. "It's not a big deal, I just think she's a little pretty."

"Yeah okay.. anyways I've got to go tend to Garcia. See ya Monday pretty boy." Spencer rolled his eyes at the nickname and saw Morgan out.

Fiona had taken a nap when she arrived at her apartment, only a floor above where she spent the night. She was about to order some take out before her phone rang, "Hello?"

"Summers you need to come to the office, we have a case." Hotches voice said from the other side, "On a Sunday? I thought we went back tomorrow?"

"I know and I apologize I understand it's unfortunate and I'll try to make it up to you. But I-the team needs your help with this. See you in 20."
She sighed knowing it wasn't a question, hanging up the phone she realized what was said in the conversation.

I'll try to make it up to you.
