My First Love [Spencer Reid Fanfic - 1]

Chapter 25 - The Perfect Storm

"Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it." - Mark Twain

My dad called me so we could have breakfast together before he dropped me off at work. Either he needed something or he was going to give me bad news.

"Dad, you know I love spending time with you but I gotta ask. What happened?" I looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"I want to talk to you about Spencer." My dad said with a stern expression.

"What about him?" I took a sip of my latte.

My dad's blue eyes mirrored mine and I knew when he was about to scold me. "He's a nice young man and we've been golfing every sunday for the past couple of months and I noticed something."

I furrowed my eyebrows. "And what did you notice?"

"That exceptional boy is truly in love with you and you haven't been very nice to him." There it was. The scolding.

The shock prompted me to spit my latte. "What?!"

"CeCe, behave like a proper lady." He passed me a napkin. "I understand you have feelings for Spencer and he clearly has feelings for you. What is stopping you two from being together?"

"My boss would fire me." I replied sincerely.

"I'm sure Aaron wouldn't mind." My dad reassured me. "He's a good man."

I shook my head. "I'm not talking about Hotch." My phone started buzzing and I saw a text from JJ. "Daddy, I gotta go. We have a case." I kissed my dad's temple and took a cab to my place to get my car. My dad never once cared about my love life. Damn Reid!

JJ stood in front of the screen and grabbed the remote. "Laura Clemensen was found tortured and raped in Jacksonville. A DVD of her torture was sent to her parents and her father passed away right after."

"The unsub wanted to torture the family as well." Gideon noted.

"He seems to be a sexual sadist." Morgan commented.

JJ put the remote down. "The local police requested our help. This isn't the first body they found with the same MO."

"When was Laura abducted?" I asked.

"October 1st." JJ replied.

Hotch stood up. "Grab your go bags. This unsub is probably on the prowl for another victim."

We all followed him and grabbed our things. Elle stopped me. "When are you going to talk to Reid about the kiss?"

"We already talked about it and we decided to remain professional." I said nonchalantly.

"You two are the dumbest geniuses I know." Elle rolled her.

"We're the only geniuses you know." I said confused. She grinned and we both left the room.

Spencer sat next to me on the jet. We stopped hanging out just the two of us after the kiss but I missed him. "What are you thinking about?" He asked me in a soft tone.

"The case." I replied dryly.

"You're a terrible liar for someone who catches liars for a living." He joked.

I stared at him in disbelief. "When did you become so bold, Dr. Reid?"

He smirked. Obviously, learned it from Morgan. "Since I realized you reciprocate my feelings."
