Inside A Lover's Mind (Criminal Minds Fanfic)

Getting to know you

"Can I come in?" Spence asked me, standing in my doorway.

I nodded, letting him into my apartment. Most things were still in boxes, so I felt very untidy. He sat down on my couch, Fang coming to his side pretty quickly. I laughed and plopped onto my couch, letting out a large sigh.

"Listen, Spence. I think we should take it slower. I wasn't myself last night, that's why I fell all over you..." I explained, trailing off.

"I agree. We should at least get to know each other a lot better before we actually become a couple," he smiled in agreement, making me sigh in relief.

"Um, I should unpa-"

"I'll help," he smiled, getting to his feet.

I smiled as he grabbed a box, opening it and placing things on the table.

*three hours later*

"Man, I am starving!" I exclaimed, rubbing Fang's back.

"I'll call for Chinese food, then?" Spence asked and I smiled.

"I. Love. Chinese. Food!" I said dramatically.

"Me too!" he laughed in reply, picking up the phone.

He asked for pretty much everything on the menu and in about ten minutes, the Chinese food arrived.

We sat on the couch, placing all the food on the coffee table. We ate and talked about our lives before the workplace. Spencer was such a great guy, I really did like him. But, we agreed to get to know each other better before any choices were written in stone. We were both bullied as kids, we admitted that. His was more physical than verbal, whereas mine was more verbal than physical. I felt really bad for him, everything he had to go through. He asked me more about my dad, and I told him everything I was told. I had watched my father brutually beat my mother when I was two, then watched him kill her when I was three. I told Spencer that my father was still out there, so that's why Garcia and Derek are so protective. I cried a few times, and everytime I did, Spence would tell me to breathe and calm down. Which actually helped. We talked about the new pregnancy thing and how happy we were for them. I told him how I wanted to get married and have children so I can watch them grow and grow old with grandchildren. He said that he felt the same. He quoted some Shakespeare and told me jokes, making me smile and laugh.  

I'm sure that he's the one for me.
