Counting Stars (A Spencer Reid Story) (Completed)

Chapter Sixteen

*Halloween*

*Lilly's P.O.V*

"Hey Lilly did you know your name means Beautiful, fun-loving and your fill with sunshine, which is fully true," Spencer says.

"Oh Dictionary man I already knew that," I say as we walked to the conference.

"I also know what my name means. I'm a great guy who cares a lot. I am very easy to talk to, I can be a bit shy, which is true from time to time. It also means I'm someone who cares and is sweet," He says. "Also my last name means a hot boy who gets all the girls. Which is not true." I looked at him.

"Spence. Have you notice that every girl is all over you?" I asked him. He looks at me.

"No, I usually don't notice these things," He says.

"And then why do they call you a genius?" I teased him.

"Because I have an eidetic memory," He says. We finally walked in and they all looked at us. Hotch and Garcia weren't in the room yet.

"What's going on?" Morgan asked. I sat down next to Morgan and Spencer sat next to me.

"He was giving out the meaning of our names and he denies that his last name means he is a hot boy who gets all the girls, which is FULLY true," I say.

"Not true," He says.

"OK I am not going to argue with him," I said.

"So you're saying I win," He says.

"No I'm saying I am not arguing with someone who thinks they don't have all the girls," I say. I have been with the BAU for eight months, but if you asked the genius how long I have been on the BAU, he will give you the exact time, month, second, day. Things like that. I do have an eidetic memory, but it's not like Spencer's. Even though I skipped a lot of grades, and finished high school when I was eleven.

Things are going great at the BAU. The most people I hang out with are Spencer and Morgan. The most person I go to for advice is J.J and Garcia. Rossi and Hotch are also there. Mostly everyone knows about my crush on Spencer except, of course, Spencer. Which is a good thing. Soon Garcia and Hotch walked in.

"OK guys this one we don't have to go far for this one because it right in our backyards," She says.

"Is it about that those kids that went missing and are found three days later?" I asked her. They all looked at me. "What? I watch the news. I'm not dead." They all chuckled.

"Well back onto the topic. Yes chipmunk your right," She says.

"What is up with all these nicknames these days?" I whispered. They all smiled.

"Now a week ago three kids went missing and were found three days after each of their abduction. Either in a park or outside a school," She says.

"Places where the parents and kids would all feel safe," Spencer says. Garcia nodded.

"Now tonight is Halloween. But three days ago Johnny Myers went missing," She says.

"The unsub is going to kill Johnny then find another kid on Halloween. Everyone is going to be dressed up, so that is the hardest thing on Halloween," J.J says.

"That is why we have to start getting out the profile as soon as we can before another kid goes missing," Hotch says. We all nodded and everyone left except Garcia and me. We were putting up the pictures and the information on the kids.

"So when are you going to ask Spencer out?" She asked me. She is always like this. I looked at her.

"Garcia. I told you. I don't think I will ever ask him out. I'm really shy when it comes to the mushy stuff," I say. "Plus who knows, I could mess it up like my last boyfriend."

"OK from what you told me your boyfriend was trying to save you. He got shot because he loved you," Garcia says.

"Yeah, and I felt like I put him in that kind of danger," I say.

"Have you told Spencer?" Garcia asked me. I shook my head.

"No. I don't have the guts to tell him. Plus I would just break down crying like when I told you and J.J," I say. She nods. I looked over. "Spencer." I went over and got Spencer's messenger bag that he had forgotten. "I'm going to set this on his desk. He might be talking to the families."

*Spencer's P.O.V*

I walked out of the conference room ready to talk to the families when I notice that I didn't have my messenger bag. I ran back to the conference room when I overheard Lilly and Garcia talking.

"Garcia. I told you. I don't think I will ever ask him out. I'm really shy when it comes to the mushy stuff," Lilly says. Who was she talking about? Another guy? Wait am I getting jealous? I shouldn't be. Lilly and I are just friends. Maybe I did develop feelings for her over the past eight months. "Plus who knows, I could mess it up like my last boyfriend."

"OK from what you told me your boyfriend was trying to save you. He got shot because he loved you," Garcia says. She had a boyfriend? Who got shot? Wow.

"Yeah and I felt like I put him in that kind of danger," Lilly says. Lilly couldn't do that. She is too sweet to put anyone in danger.

"How you told Spencer?" Garcia asked her. Told me what? That she likes another guy? No. That her boyfriend got shot? No.

"No. I don't have the guts to tell him. Plus I would just break down crying like when I told you and J.J," She says. I was about to go in when I heard her say something again. "Spencer." Oh crap. Did I get caught? "I'm going to set this on his desk. He might be talking to the families." oh man she was coming out. I ran for it. Soon I bumped into Morgan.

"Hey, Pretty boy. Wait what's wrong?" He asked me.
