Protected (A Spencer Reid Fanfiction)

Chapter 36

I woke up and I could still hear the rain.
The room had a grey tint from the stormy clouds outside.
Spencer has shifted to his side but I was still hugging him.
He was facing me and I admired his defined face.
I started to play with his hair a little bit.
Once I started to he wrapped his long arms around me pulling me closer to him.
I saw a little smile creep across his lips.
"What time is it?" He whispered.
I lifted my head up and looked at the clock.
"5:24." I said.
He just nodded and nudged me with his forehead.
"Did you sleep good?" I asked him still playing with his hair.
"Yeah I really did." He said sitting up.
"That's good." I said rubbing his cold arm.
"Your cold." I said lifting the blanket over him.
He smiled at me and kissed me shortly.
Then he rubbed my neck a little bit.
"I love you." I whispered.
I remember when he said he loved me for the first time.
I never responded.
He stopped rubbing my neck.
"You do?" He asked surprised.
"Yes Spencer I love you." I said laughing a little.
He looked confused and then managed to whisper, "Why?"
"Spencer I love you for who you are. For how loved to make me feel, how sweet you are, how caring, protective. The way you look at me every day with those beautiful brown eyes of yours and your cute little smile. Or when you kiss me, short or not I can feel how much you care for me and I treasure every moment I have with you. So that, Spencer Reid, is why I love you."
He just stared at me.
Emotionless.
Finally after a long moment of silence I said something.
"Spencer are you ok?"
He blinked really fast.
"No one has ever told me they loved me besides my mother. And this is a love that I have never felt. Never received. Kelly, I loved you since the first night you spent with me. That night..."
I interrupted him by kissing him.
I feel so bad when he talks about everything he didn't have or doesn't.
I want to give him everything he needs tone happy.
Spencer's POV
She kissed me before I could finish my sentence.
As our lips touched I felt a wet drop land on my arm that was caressing her face.
I broke the kiss and looked at her.
She was crying.
Not sobbing but just little tears.
"Spencer I love you so much." She said into my shoulder.
"Kelly I love you too." I whispered.
"If you have loved me for so long why didn't you tell me earlier?" She asked pulling her head out of my shoulder.
"I... I was afraid you wouldn't love me back." I said slowly.
"Spencer, I would never love you less or stop loving you." She said assuringly.
I smiled at her comment.
Then I started to recite my favorite love poem.
"There is a lady sweet and kind,
Was never a face so pleased my mind;
I did but see you passing by,
And yet I'll love you till I die.
Your gesture, motion, and your smiles,
Your wit, your voice my heart beguiles,
Beguiles my heart, I know not why,
And yet I'll love you till I die.
Cupid is winged and I doth range,
Your country, so, my love doth change:
But change the earth, or change the sky,"
"Yet, I will love you till I die." She said with me.
"Thomas Ford." She said. "I studied him. That's my favorite poem of his."
"Mine too." I said.
"I can tell. You memorized... oh wait eidetic memory." She said.
We both giggled.
"Kelly I know I shouldn't have asked you this a long time ago but I love the way you make me feel and I love you so much. Now I am finally asking if you would do the honor of officially being my girlfriend." I said staring into her beautiful blue eyes.
"Yes Spencer! I would love to officially be your girlfriend!" She said with the biggest grin on her face.
She gave me a big kiss of happiness.
"If we get ready now I could take you to work with me and maybe grab something to eat." I said stroking her hair.
"Ok." She said sweetly.
I sat up and went to the bathroom.
I looked at myself in the mirror.
Kelly loves me.
She loves this.
This raggedy haired, skinny boy I see in the mirror.
I brushed my teeth and then left the bathroom.
Kelly was already dressed.
She had a white dress on with brown heeled boots.
"Hey Spencer have you seen my coat?" She asked looking around.
"No I haven't." I said trying to remember if I have seen it.
She started staring at me.
I pretended I didn't notice and grabbed my black button up shirt and red tie.
I finally decided to say something.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Staring at you." She said giggling. "Your hair is like all down when it's normally combed up and you look different."
I smiled at her comment and started to brush it up with my comb.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw her go to the bathroom.
Kelly's POV
After brushing my teeth and hair, I plugged in my curling iron but I plugged in my bigger one.
It only took like 6 curls to curl my entire hair.
Then I put on eyeliner, mascara and a little gold eyeshadow along with maroon lipstick.
When I left the bathroom I saw Spencer on his phone talking to who I assume was Hotch.
"Yeah... that sounds great... I miss you too." I heard him say.
Ok that wasn't Hotch he was talking to.
"I love you."
Ok that's DEFINITELY not Hotch.
He hung up the phone with a smile on his face.
I pretended like I just exited the bathroom.
"What are you smiling about?" I asked him flirtatiously.
"I just talked to my mom. I haven't spoken to her in a while." He said.
I believed him.
Why wouldn't I?
"Oooh." I said.
"What's was the oh for?" He asked suspiciously.
"At first I thought you were on the phone with Hotch and then I heard you say you missed someone. Then you said I love you and I started to wonder who you were talking to." I said a little embarrassed.
He laughed a little bit.
"How is she?" I asked.
"She's doing good. She wants me to visit her and I would like to take you." He said.
Me meeting his mom!?
I would be way too nervous.
"What if she doesn't like me?" I asked shyly.
He lifted my chin up from my low hung head.
"She will love you. You make me happy and she knows that. There's no way she won't." He said assuringly.
I smiled at him and looked at the clock.
"We should leave soon in case there is traffic." I said.
He glanced at the clock and slide his jacket over his shoulders.
He grabbed his keys and then my hand.
I interlocked my fingers with his and we strolled to the elevator.
When we reached the lobby I saw the guy from the other day that worked at the front counter.
"Hey Kelly! Did you do your hair different?" He asked trying to start a conversation.
When he asked me the question Spencer looked at him and then pulled his hand away from mine and put his arm around me pulling me closer.
"I'm busy Michael." I said as we walked out the door.
It was still pouring but the rainfall has doubled.
Spencer quickly took off his coat to cover us both.
We speed walked over to his car and quickly got in.
"How does that guy know your name?" He asked starting the car.
"One day he introduced himself and I did as well. No big deal." I said with a small smile.
"Which coffee shop should we go to?" I asked changing the subject.
"I heard the Cherry Street Coffee House is pretty good." He said after a pause.
After driving for about 10 minutes we arrived at the small coffee house.
When he put the car in park his phone rang.
He looked at it and then to me.
"I will just run in." I said opening the door.
"Wait wait!" He said.
He took off his jacket and gave it to me.
"Thanks." I mouthed as he picked up the phone.
I put his jacket on even though it was way too big for me and crossed the street.
I opened the door to the coffee house and a warm burst of air hit me and smells of coffee filled my nose.
Spencer's POV
"Hello?" I heard Garcia on the other line.
I forgot I picked up before I gave Kelly my jacket.
"Sorry yeah?" I said.
"I was wondering if Kelly was there. She didn't pick up her phone." She said.
"Oh she left her phone at the house and she actually just went in the coffee shop to grab us coffee for work. I can certainly deliver a message."
"Can you ask her about plans after work today about shopping please? I need to know ASAP." She said.
"Oh yes she told me about this. So there is a club you were planning on taking her." I said overly protective.
"And anyone else that would like to come." Then she coughed the word 'you'.
I laughed.
"Sure I'll go." I said thinking it might be fun.
"... wait your serious?" She sounded surprised.
"Yeah. It will be fun!" I said.
"Oookk and this is Spencer Reid I'm talking to correct?"
"Doctor but yes." I said smirking.
"Ok Doctor I will see you later and please get an answer from Kelly or have her call me." She said.
"I will. Bye Garcia." Then I hung up.
What was taking Kelly so long?
Kelly's POV
I walked into the shop and saw a familiar face.
"Derek!" I yelled.
"Got the wrong size jacket did you?" He asked humorously.
"No it's my official boyfriend Spencer's." I said looking down at the mid-thigh length jacket.
"Official boyfriend!? He asked you finally? Where is the guy anyway?" He asked me looking behind me.
"He got a phone call so I offered to run in. And yes this morning. Which you know him he is probably worrying why it has taking me 2.5 minutes to order coffee." I said.
We both laughed a little bit.
"Well I'll let you go then. See you at the office?"
"Yup. Bye Derek." I said.
He walked out of the shop with a coffee in his hand.
I walked over to the counter and ordered our coffee.
"A medium black coffee and a medium hot chocolate with 2 shots of espresso please." I said looking around making sure I can manually add sugar to Spencer's coffee.
"Ok that will be 5.48." The lady said.
She was Hispanic and very pretty.
I handed her $8.00 and told her to keep the change.
In about 1 minute she gave me the coffees and I walked over to the table with creamer packets and sugar.
I put 5 spoonfuls of sugar in Spencer's, stirred it and then walked back to the car.
I gave Spencer a cup and sat down.
"Guess who I ran into?" I said about to take a sip of the coffee.
"Who?" He said taking a sip.
He made a concerned face.
"Derek. Spencer I put 5 spoonfuls of sugar in that. Is it not enough?" I said taking a sip of mine.
But mine was more bitter than usual.
"Oh wait." I said taking the cup from him and taking a sip.
"Oops wrong one." I said swapping cups.
I took a big sip of mine and Spencer stared at me.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Staring at you. Wearing my jacket that's way too big for you and your beautiful lips drink the coffee I just drank from." He said still staring at me.
I smiled bashfully.
Then I looked at his cup.
"Oops I got a little lipstick on your lid." I said laughing.
"I don't care." He said taking a sip of it.
Oh how much I love Spencer Reid.
