Jaella's POV

I ravenously pick at the two chocolate covered waffles in front of me. Spencer was right. The waffles here are exquisite. I can sense a pair of eyes on me and look up to see Spencer eyeing me with an amused look on his face.

"Hungry?" He asks whilst chuckling.

"Practically famished," I reply once I swallow the waffle piece in my mouth. "Haven't had food since yesterday morning." His eyes widen. "I was too busy with the case and then I just drove around in the evening as you know."

"About that," he begins but I cut him off.

"Spencer thank you for last night, and I'm sorry for getting all sappy and crying. You were just what I needed but I understand that I probably made you feel really uncomfortable and I even read that you are a mild germaphobe and I practically spread my germy tears everywhere and I don't want for you to look at me and just see this emotional-"

Now it's him who cuts me off. "Hey, don't worry. I was really glad to help, and I uh, I'm not too sure why but you seem to be an exception for my germaphobe ways. Something in my brain doesn't make me want to pull away from you like with others. And I actually slept better than I have in weeks. So I was just wondering if, well I suppose you still wouldn't want to be on your own and I definitely don't want you to sleep in the car, so would you want to keep staying with me? Or I can ask JJ or Emily and I'm sure that they'd be happy to share." He hurriedly adds at the end. I stare at him with an open mouth. "Oh god that probably made you so uncomfortable. I really didn't mean for that to sound like it did," he mutters.

"No no I just hadn't thought that far ahead," I reply. "I would really like that, if you don't mind sharing again."

He simply smiles at me while popping a piece of toast in his mouth.

"It can be like a sleepover," I add with a chuckle.

His eyes brighten. "I've never been on a sleepover before. What do I have to do? Are there certain things that I need?"

"Don't you worry about anything. I will sort it all out." I say, now grinning from ear to ear.

Just then Derek and JJ sit down beside us, both with plates full of food. Morgan gives Spencer a smirk while JJ smiles at me and asks how I slept.

Before I can answer, Derek turns to us and answers for me.

"Oh I am sure she didn't sleep a wink." He flashes a teasing grin whilst my eyebrows furrow in confusion. "I saw these two," he motions to myself and Spencer, "on my way back from the hotel gym this morning, sneaking out of the same room together."

My eyes widen and I choke on a piece of my waffle. I can see Spencer turning the colour of a tomato and sinking back into his chair. David and Emily now sit down to join us.

Welcome, please join. You are here for the screening of my FUNERAL.

"You spent the night together?" Emily questions after sending us both a devilish smile.

After I finish practically dying I answer, "Oh we were just going over the case. We both couldn't sleep so, may as well."

"Thought you were staying at a friend's place?" Questions JJ.

"Obviously Foxy's friend was a certain doctor to my right," replies Derek.

Spencer looks up to me. "We should head out now. We have to be back at the precinct for nine."

Him and I practically leap from the table and scurry out of the dining area. My fast beating heart is drowned out by the playful laughter from behind us.

Too good of an opportunity to pass up Derek teasing our two babies. Get ready for the case. XOXO Gubler Girl.
