Criminal ties

Friday

I woke up super early out pure excitement for my date with Spencer later this evening ... I got to work at about 7:30 and tried to talk to Penelope before Spencer got there and we talked about what I was going to wear and where we were going before he walked through the door.

When he walked to his desk I noticed a small grin across his cheeks that caught my eye.

" good morning" I said sweetly

" uh yes good morning indeed... it is Friday isn't it?" He asked already knowing the answer

"Yes ... I will see you at 8" I winked and then smiled and he returned an even larger grin than before

It was a pretty easy day at work so I left right at 5 o'clock so I could get ready.
I took an everything shower blow dried and curled my hair and threw a little bit of makeup on.
Because the restaurant had a dress code I threw on a dress. It was a short black dress with off the shoulder bell sleeves. Before I left I threw on some heels and brushed my teeth and drove to the restaurant.

When I arrived I saw Spencer leaning against his black explorer and parked next to him. I did my last minute checks and got out of the car .
Spencer had made his way over to my car to walk me in.

"Hi" I said with a large smile

"Wow Grace you look .. you look amazing" He said in awe

" thank you , you do too." I responded

Tonight Spencer was wearing his gray slacks with a black button down and a light green tie.He looked so handsome his curls in their usually perfect fluff ball with his glasses and even a light stubble on his face.

He offered his arm out to me as we interlocked elbows and went inside.

"Hello welcome name please"

"Uh yes Reid for two at 8" he said softly clearing his throat

We followed the man to our table. Spencer pulled my chair out for me and let me sit first before taking his seat across from me.He was sat close enough to me that my crossed legs were lightly leaning on his but I didn't mind. We ordered our drinks and food and just talked . We talked about everything from school to Mexico to all of his badass stories from prison.

"Hey can I ask you a question?" He asked a bout to eat his first bite of his pasta

I shook my head as I ate my pasta

" If you knew I had a crush on you why didn't you ever say anything?" He asked

"Well Spencer , I was nervous because I didn't know how to ask or bring it up in conversation so I just never did. But I am glad you found the right time to ask me out." I smiled whilst about to take another bite of food

"I am glad too I am having a really great time getting to know you the right way." He continued with the same smile

"See it isn't terrible to learn without analyzing." I poked fun at him

"Haha, dessert?"

"Oh yes please... the crème brûlée sounds so good!"

The waitress came back over to the table " is there anything else I can get for you sir?"

"Yes um one crème brûlée and two glasses of your deepest red wine." He said still looking directly in my eyes

" Spencer Reid did you just order a glass of wine?" I asked almost shocked

"Yes it is a special night I thought why not."

We cheered our glasses and ate our fresh crème brûlée. Spencer then paid for our meal and we walked out holding hands now .as he walked me to my car and opened my door for me. But before I could get in he brushed his finger under my chin to lift my face up to his. He gave me a small kiss before dropping his hand and letting me get in the car.
"Good night Grace" he said as he closed my car door
"Good night Spence" I smiled and began to drive off

When I got home I took off my makeup and called Pen immediately to tell her everything and how it went. She was so happy she practically jumped out of her chair when I told her we kissed. We talked for a little while more before we both headed to bed .

Monday morning came around and back to work it was .

I sat down at my desk and got to work immediately when Spencer walked in and took his place at the desk next to mine .

"Hey pretty boy" Derek literally yelled across the room " how was your weekend do anything fun?"

"Good morning to you too Morgan and yes my weekend was quite ...pleasant" he looked over at me for just a mere second before looking up at Morgan again " anything else? Or can I get to work?"

Morgan huffed and walked over to me " morning weeping willow ... and how was your weekend?" He was always using that stupid nickname for me

"It was good... and peaceful and how was yours." I asked in Return

Morgan began rambling on and I looked over to Spencer where we exchanged a quick glance and smile before going back to work on a new case.
