It didn't take very long to get there. Not that I minded talking to J.J. We parked a little while away, which was okay. I needed the fresh air.
We stopped at a small cafe on the way. Jackson's something or other. I sipped the warm liquid and the hot smoothness of the drink warmed my bones. The early November sun shone through the clouds, warming our backs. Then there it was, practically face to face with us. A large series of castle-like brick buildings lay ahead of us, it was breathtaking. Beautiful, captivating greenery was spread across the lawn. We headed in throught the main entry, and begin to explore. I was fascinated by all the exhibits. We were approaching an art exhibit, portraying famous historical events, when I saw her. The guide. She had, round, big green eyes, and pale skin. Her long, dark hair was straight, and it cascaded over her shoulders. She flashed me a winning smile, her big green eyes crinkling up. Wow. She was gorgeous... I don't know. I stumbled over to her like an idiot. My tounge twisted and was knotted in my throat before I could say anything, so I stood there smiling like an idiot. Thank God she started first, breaking the short awkward silnce. "Hi." She said.
"Uhm, hi." I muttered stupidly. Smooth, point 1- Reid, I thought sarcastically. I need to reedeem myself. So I decided to try this thing. Flirting.
"Are you made of copper and tellerium? Because you're CuTe." What if she doesn't get it? What if she thinks its stupid? She laughed, and at first I thought it was because I thought I said something stupid. But something told me I should go on.
"Would you, um, maybe want to meet me at the, er National Library tonight at 7?"
"I'd love to. Doctor Carter Hope, pleasure to meet you." She said with a wave.
"Doctor Spencer Reid, the pleasure is all mine." She turned, obviously trying to hide the fact that she was blushing. I could feel my face burning also. I walked back to J.J beaming, and when I me back up with her, her mouth was agape with shock.
"Did you just- I mean- wha- Oh my god Spencer you just flirted. Spencer sounds like someone's got a daaaaate." She taunted. "Wait till Morgan finds out!"
I feel like Morgan IS here, I thought. Instead, I said "Wait J.J, please don't say anything. If this doesn't go well, I don't want them to tease me about it."
Her face softened. "I understand. Okay, I'm sorry Spence."
I felt pretty good, except, my stomach did acrobatics. Her name still hit me like a fresh wave of guilt. Maeve.
