Spencer sat next to Marissa rubbing her back and holding her until she fell asleep. Once he was sure she was asleep, he made a bed for himself on the floor just before the bed. It wasn't the most comfortable place to sleep but he was near Marissa and that's all that mattered to him.

At 6:30 sharp Marissas alarm began to go off, she bolted upright in the bed, she wasn't used to sleep so well at night. She rubbed her eyes thinking fondly of how Spencer held her until she was asleep asleep. She starts to get up and walk towards her bag but before she gets to the counter she sees a sleeping Spencer curled up on a bed made of pillow blankets and a comforter. He looked so peaceful, so beautiful. The way his curly hair was a tussled mess  on the pillow and around his face, how his lips were slightly parted as he breathed heavily.
She bends down and shakes him

"Hey Spencer, it's time to get up. I'm making a pot of coffee."  She smiles down at him one last time before getting up and going to her bag and grabbing her slacks and blazer.

A knock on the door came.

"Kid you okay. I went to your room and you weren't there, it didn't even look like you slept in there so I figured maybe you stopped by here." It was Morgan as another knock came on the door. So Marissa went to open it. Spencer got up from the floor and went to the bathroom to fix his hair.

"Is Reid here?" Morgan asks.

"Yeah he's in the bathroom, he stopped by to offer me some coffee." Marissas answers as if Spencer didn't spend the night in her hotel room.

"Well why is there a bed of pillows and stuff on the floor?"

"I'm not very comfortable of sleeping in beds I'm unsure of and actually the floor is better for your back but when you wake up it hurts like a bitch." Marissa answers in a know it all tone.

At this moment Spencer walks out of the bathroom.

"Hey Morgan, what's up?"

"Just checking, you weren't in your room. I was headed down to the cafe to get some breakfast, wanted to see if you wanted to join me."

"You guys can head on down I'll be down In like 10 minutes tops. I just have to get dressed." Marissa smiles inviting herself but standing here. Spencer couldn't help but think of how much he loves when she does things like this.

Spencer and Morgan head down to the cafe. On the way down Morgan says

"Kid if you trying not to look as if your in love with her, you're not doing a very good job." He looked at me. His facial expressions laughing

"All acts preformed in the world, begin in the imagination but I'm not in love with her, she was just having a hard time sleeping so I figured I would offer her some coffee." Spencer tries to brush Morgan's comment off.

"Yeah like everyone didn't see the way she scrambled to get up off the floor when you walked in or how she avoided your face yesterday when she was talking to us. What happened between you to?" Morgan pries.

"So the day before yesterday we met in a McDonald's."  Spencer starts

"You don't eat McDonald's." Morgan interjects.

"They have free WiFi and I like their milkshakes. So she walks in and she actually fell into the trash can and I helped her out cause no one else was and it seemed like she was stuck and we talked for hours and hours and I really like her but at that time I didn't know she was JJ's niece. She was just some girl named Marissa who had just moved here. And then yesterday she shows up in our briefing room and it feels like everything is turned upside down. And I don't know what to do."  Spencer finishes as they get to the cafe inside the hotel for breakfast.

Most of their team is already there so they ate and Marissa finally came down and joined them for breakfast. Once they were all finished they gathered themselves and drove separated throughout three cars. 

Morgan, Spencer and Marissa were all in the same car and the whole ride Morgan kept glancing at Marissa in the backseat singing to herself like she was in her own little show.

Oh my gosh I think I'm falling in love with her. Spencer thinks as they get out of the SUV and Marissa trips getting down from the much higher car than what she's used to.

"You okay darling?" JJ asks as she sees Marissa trip.

"Yeah I'm just a clutz, I'm not used to such a higher lifted car that's all." She tucks her hair ear and continues to walk as if nothing happened.
