The morning was rushed like always. Penelope called with a case again this morning. Spencer speed walked into the little café around the corner from Quantico like most mornings.

The moment he walked through the doors he was assaulted with the strong smell of coffee beans and mindless chatter of other people. The line was held up by an angry customer at the counter.

He heard a groan behind him , followed by a soft " aww fudge sticks". Spencer scrunches his eyebrows at the odd phrase. He turned behind him to look at the culprit. She smiles up at him when he froze.

Female. The woman was female. She was stunning to say the least with long dark brown hair and slight tanned skin with a petite build." Hello".

He fidgeted nervously. Fingers twitching at his sides."H-hello" . Damn his nerves. He quickly turned his head for a second to move forward in line since he was next.

"I'm June , by the way" June introduced herself , trying to keep the conversation going. She offered her hand for him to shake.

He shook her hand quickly , hoping she didn't notice his palms were sweating. "S-s-spencer". She smiled at him again. Spencer swore he could almost hear his own heart beat it was beating so fast.

"Are you on your way to work" she asked trying to be friendly. He noticed her tug on the sleeve of her jumped in nerves. It made him feel slightly better.

"Yes. What about you" this time not stuttering , if Morgan was here it would make him proud. "Do you dance".

" what?" June asked in surprise.

"Sorry , its part of my job to profile people" he apologized hastily. Hoping not to freak him out. "F-f-forget it. I'm weird I know".

It was tense for the next few seconds before she broke it. Spencer expected insults to come flying out of her mouth at any second. " I thought you were a teacher and I don't think your weird since it means a different criteria for different people.

Spencer turned to order his coffee before answering "why". This was turning rather unusual. No insults , no mocking or anything. Just a friendly conversation with a very pretty woman.

" your book. Wuthering Heights , its frayed around the edges and well worn . But its not second hand since there's no stains meaning you read it often. So either you study it to teach it to students or you just have great taste in books. I thought it would be the first option since your wearing a button up with a tie yet no suit jacket suggesting you don't have to dress formally" she ranted to him , talking with her hands slightly. "Sorry I have a bad habit of rambling".

" are you.....profiling me"

"Sir your coffee"

Spencer looked at her for a second longer in amazement before collecting his coffee. Sadly his awkwardness got the better of him and he stumbled , accidentally spilling his coffee on June. "I-i s-so so sorry" he stuttered , waiting for her to scream at him.

"Its fine" she reassures him calmly , grabbing him hand to move them out of the line so others could order. "Accidents happen , its just a shirt".

Before he could open his mouth his phone started ringing. He fumbled with his bag before finally answering it.

" Reid get here NOW. We have to brief the team for the case and your late" Hotch ordered before hanging up abruptly.

"I'm guessing you have to go" June teased lightly.

"Yes. Sorry" Spencer apologized before moving to get out the cafe door. Thinking he would never see her again if he did not act. He spun around "Can I make it up to you some time" he asked , blushing.

"I'll give you my number then" she laughed before grabbing a pen and writing it on his hand.

Spencer looked down at the limb in amazement. He now had a date. With a hot girl.

"I-i'll call soon. I promise" and with that he dashed out the door to solve a murder.
