The Trust Of My Life - A Spencer Reid Fanfic

Chapter 31: Benji

Lina's POV

"Oh my gosh, Yang!" Prentiss exclaims. She comes running towards me as I step through the door with Spencer.

"Hi, Prentiss!" I pull her in a tight hug. When we finally pull back, I take a look around Rossi's house. I see a huge chandelier hanging by the stairwell along with many beautiful lights and decorations that shine like diamonds. "Nice house, David."

"Thanks. Have a seat." He gestures to the sofa in his living room. "Dinner should be ready soon."

"Hey, Yang." Morgan walks up to me. "Good to see you."

"Thanks." I smile, taking a seat in the living room with Prentiss. It's been a long time since I've felt this happy.

Just then the doorbell rings and Rossi opens the door. Standing there is JJ, Hotch, and Garcia. "Hey, guys!" A smile spreads across Rossi's face.

"Hello!" JJ smooths out her dress. "Thank you for having us over."

Rossi waves them over to where I'm sitting. "Have a seat there." I watch as JJ and Garcia walk over to Prentiss and I.

"Oh, hey, Lina!" Garcia smiles brightly at me. "I must say we all look pretty hot tonight."

I laugh and look at the four of us. Garcia is wearing a bright pink floral dress with a matching pink cardigan, JJ is wearing a beautiful off shoulder grey dress, and Prentiss is wearing a stunning emerald green slip dress.

"We should take a picture," suggests Prentiss.

"Good idea!" JJ pulls out her phone. "Spencer, can you take a picture for us?"

"Of course." Spencer takes her phone while the four of us stand together. "Say cheese!" He snaps the picture and shows it to us. And man, do we look good.

After that, I have some girl talk with JJ, Prentiss, and Garcia—it's been so long since we've had a conversation. But suddenly, Spencer and Morgan's conversation gets my attention. Spencer is blushing and whispering quietly while Morgan has a huge smile on his face. I try eavesdropping but all I can make out from their whispering is "propose" and "marry".

I gasp. Morgan isn't dating anyone, so could Spencer be thinking about proposing to me? But I shake my head and laugh at myself. There's no way.

"What's so funny?" Garcia asks, tilting her head curiously.

"It's nothing," I reply.

"Come on, tell us," Prentiss whines.

I sigh. "Guys, it's nothing. Okay?" JJ opens her mouth to protest but I'm saved by the bell when Rossi calls us to eat.

Hotch takes a whiff. "Smells good, David."

"I used my mother's ricetta segreta." Rossi does a chef's kiss.

Spencer raises his eyebrows and nods. "Secret recipe."

"Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving." Morgan looks eagerly at the plates of pasta.

"Let's dig in!" Rossi announces.

Everyone clinks their glasses of wine and takes a sip. But right when we're about to take our first bites of pasta, Hotch's cell phone rings.

"Hello?" Hotch answers. "We'll be right there." Everyone sighs and puts down their forks.

"Another case?" Prentiss asks, frowning.

"Yes, and it's urgent." Hotch stands up from the table. "There have been several bombing attacks in Denver, Colorado. Yang, you don't have to come if you don't want to."
