I'd always tried to tell the truth. Ever since I was a young girl, I found even the whitest of lies to be a little too guilt inducing to be worth it.

In fact, there had been times I'd even questioned whether my truth was, unbeknownst to me, a lie. Because of that, it had certainly been an odd experience to perform my lie detector test when I first applied for the FBI.

Over the recent years, however, I'd perfected my ability to lie — about most things, anyway.

There had been one exception. A very handsome exception who was sat beside me fiddling with the buttons on his cardigan.

Spencer Reid, my team partner of choice and the love of my life.

He just didn't know about that second part yet.

But of course, my friends had been very aware of my feelings for the BAU's boy genius, as well as the fact I was absolutely petrified of him finding out. So, as I sat in the comfort of Emily's apartment, surrounded by my friends and playing a lighthearted game, I thought I would be safe.

"Truth," I said with confidence.

I had been very, very wrong.

"Again?! Really?!" Penelope groaned.

Emily was quick to follow, with her fingers and eyebrows raised, "That is the fourth truths in a row. Seventh—if you include Spencer's."

"I'm pretty sure that's a record," JJ confirmed.

The conversation was bouncing so quickly, with each of them having perfected predicting each other's next sentence. It was a well-oiled team, after all.

But Spencer broke pattern, butting in between quick quips to ask, "Why are we including mine?"

"I mean, by all means," I shouted with a smile, "feel free to skip me!"

Penelope saw the easy out she'd given be and obstinately refused.

"No way. Nu-uh. If you're going to be a party pooper, I'm going to make you pay!"

The rest of the team — including Luke this time but excluding Spencer — let out a harmony of "oooohs" in response to the threat.

"I'm ready," I dared.

I should've known better than to dare.

"Do you think I'm bluffing?" she balked.

I really should've known better.

"You tell me, Pen-el-o-pe."

"Okay, Miss Profiler, fine! Then my truth question to you is..."

I had been so cocky, so sure that Penelope wouldn't dare take advantage of an innocent crush. But once she'd started, with an ever-escalating pitch until her breath ran out, I knew that I was sorely mistaken.

Penelope had a twinkle in her eye and a sickly-sweet smile on her face as she asked calmly, "Why won't you tell boy wonder over here how you feel?"

The whole team devolved into chaos within a second. The peanut gallery was loud, but the heartbeat in my ears was even louder.
