5 o'clock signaled the end of the work day for the members of the BAU, usually almost every signal one of them would stay at least an hour or two late. But today was an exception, everyone wanted to get to Reid's to start the questioning.
All day Morgan was trying to figure out how a girl like Lottie would even think of looking at a guy like Reid, other than to pick on him. She was the epitome of a badass. She had the hair and makeup down, when she had come in she was wearing leather skinny pants, a white almost see through crop-tank top, a leather jacket, and cherry red heels. And also when she dropped Reid off after their lunch together, he might have been peaking outside and saw he cherry red vintage 1965 mustang. Yeah she had the badass image down to a 'T'.
Reid left promptly at 5 o'clock after telling everyone to be at his apartment at 7. That gave him enough time to warn Lottie about the BAU.
When he got home he could smell the food coming from the kitchen. He smiled thinking about how for the next couple months this is what he would come home to, instead of his books.
Reid walked into the kitchen and gave Lottie a kiss hello, telling her everyone would be over at 7. She smiled and kissed him back, telling him to go change into something more comfy.
Lottie knew what she was getting into when she invited everyone over. Spencer had kept her a secret for so long that the team was bound to do nothing be ask question all night. Hopefully they would like her enough, considering that she would be around for the next 5 months.
Lottie had talked to her manager, Ryan, and had convinced him to let her have off till March. Then she would begin her marketing and promoting her new album. She was really happy that she would be able to spend the holidays with Spencer. Her birthday was less than a month away, then thanksgiving, then Christmas! Lottie's all time favorite holiday, she just loved all the holiday spirit and love that was in the air during Christmas time! And this would be her first Christmas in DC. The past couple of years Lottie had most spent Christmas with Spencer's mother Diana because he couldn't because of a case.
Spencer walked into the kitchen and saw Lottie smiling up at the ceiling. He knew that she was most likely remembering something she really enjoyed. He stopped behind her and put his arms around her waist and rest his head on hers. She was so short compared to him.
"How did talking to Ryan go?" He questioned.
"Good, I convinced him to give me until March off, then I would start the promoting and other shit I have to do." She said resting back against him while still cooking Alfredo pasta to go with her Parmesan crusted chicken.
"Wow almost 5 full months of doing nothing but spending time together. I don't think we've seen each other for that long since you started your music 4 years ago."
"Do you ever regret us not spending as much time together as we should?" Lottie asked stepping out of Spencer's grip to set the table.
"I don't regret it, sure I wish we had more time to spend together and didn't have to resort to phone calls and skyping. But I wasn't going to stop you from doing something you love, just like you didn't stop me when I signed up for the FBI." He said watching set the table. No matter how much time they spent together or how much time they didn't, Spencer still looked at her the same way he did all those years ago when they first met.
Lottie smiled at him and knew he was right. "Well maybe after this next tour I'll take a break again. I really hate being away from you, even mor than I love singing. I would give that up in a nanosecond if I could spend every single one with you."
"I know, me too." He said giving her a tight hug and small kiss.
After another 20 minutes of just talking and goofing off, the door bell rang. Lottie and Spencer both looked at each other and smiled.
