Inside A Lover's Mind (Criminal Minds Fanfic)

Freeze Frame

Spencer and I drove back in silence. I didn't know what to say. He said he wasn't acting, what was I supposed to reply with?! I was so confused. I closed my eyes and remembered the look on his face when he said those words. Those words that made me get butterflies in my stomach. Those words that made my heart race. Those words that made me blush and become so nervous.

"Jess?" a voice asked.

I opened my eyes to see Spencer with a worried look on his face.

"Yes?" I asked calmly.

He reached forward and held my hand.

"What is wrong?" he replied.

"N-nothing," I replied, feeling a spark again.

'Am I in love with Spencer Reid?' I asked myself.

"You're lying, Jess," he laughed.

I could feel the heat rising into my face. I shook my head.

"Yes, you are! What seems to be the problem?" he asked again.

"I'm confused," I mumbled.

"About?" he asked, cocking his head to the side like a puppy.

'He's so cute,' I sighed mentally.

I opened my mouth to reply.

"Reid? Jessica?" Derek's voice boomed over the radio.

Spencer picked up the CB.

"Yes?" he asked.

"I need to talk to Jessica," Derek replied sternly.

Spencer passed it to me.

"This is Jessica," I replied.

Spencer squeezed my hand.

"You have to send Baby Girl a copy of the video," he stated.

"Okay?" I replied in a confused tone.

"Rossi wants you and her to have a copy, so you can both work on it. After that, you can go home," he said, and it became clear.

"Alrighty," I replied.

I put it back and pulled my hand away from Spencer to grab my laptop that was in the backseat. I bit my lip awkwardly, like I've always done as I put the USB in the side of my Mac Book I got for Christmas. I sent a copy to Garcia and closed my laptop quickly. I grabbed Spencer's hand and he smiled.

"I see you bite your lip when you're awkward," he mentioned as I released my lip from my teeth and blushed.

"Don't be embarrassed, I think it's adorable," he blushed.

I looked at him and squeezed his hand.

"So, where do you live?" he asked.

I told him the address and he turned towards my house.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

I loved my house. It was a classic, three bedroom white house with a picket fence and a red door. I smile every time I see it. He parked in the empty driveway and I jumped out of the car. I opened the back door and reached for my laptop bag, but Spencer stopped in front of me.

"Allow me," he smiled.

I walked up the stairs and to the door. I grabbed the keys out of my pocket and unlocked the door.

"Be careful for Fang," I warned Spencer and he just laughed.

I shrugged it off and opened the door to barking.
