Spencer Reid's Past

Pineapple Fanta

Alex dropped me off again for my first day as he insisted and for most of the day we just did paperwork. I had managed to avoid Spencer for the time being but I knew I couldn't keep this up forever or else the team would get suspicious. And, speaking of the team, they were all really welcoming and kind but I was still a little shy around them. 

So far all I had done was paperwork for the last three days so when I looked up and saw it was only 6pm and I had finished my final stack, my heart fluttered. Everyone else still was going through their last stack or their second to last. I gathered my things in my purse and stood up to go but then JJ walked towards me and handed me another stack. "Ah-ah-ahh!" She smiled and walked away again. "Ughhh." I sighed and sat back down. Morgan smirked at me and chuckled so I rolled my eyes at him jokingly.

It was around 8pm when I finally arrived home.

"Hey!" Alex practically jumped at me when I walked through the door. "What's up?" I asked. "Well, um maybe I thought to celebrate your new job I uh- thought we could you know... um go out to dinner?" He fumbled with his fingers as he spoke to me. We hardly ever went out to fancy restaurants together unless it was for something big because we agreed it would be too awkward. "You know, as friends?" He finally looked up at me. I couldn't resist those big blue eyes I had known for so long. "Ugh fine! But don't make it weird!" By weird I mean he was the kind of guy who flirted with everyone. He would also make dirty jokes all the time which kinda made me uncomfortable when we were alone.

"Yes yes yes! I promise!" He hugged me and looked up at me biting his lip and smiling stupidly big. "Okay well I'm going to go take a shower and get ready I guess." I pried him off me. "You smell like moldy socks, you should go to your place and get a shower too. He had a Soccer practice for the adults team today and knowing him, he probably wouldn't have ever taken a shower if it weren't for me constantly reminding him. "Mk fine. Well I'll be back here in like 30 minutes." "Yes okay! Go!" I shoved him out the door and closed it. I was starving and I wasn't going to wait any longer than I needed to for my food.

"So where are we going?" I smoothed out the bottom of my dress as Alex drove us somewhere. "It's this really nice place I've never been to before but it sounds really good." He glanced at me right before he made a turn. "Is it expensive?" I asked worriedly. "That doesn't matter because I'm paying." I looked at my wallet which contained my credit card that had a decent amount of money on it. "Nuh uh! You and I both know that I'm going to pay." I held my purse close so I wouldn't lose it with my money in there even though I knew nothing was going to happen. "Yeah sure." he smirked and shook his head slightly.

We spent the rest of the car ride listening to music from One Direction. When we got there we parked in one of the only few spots left available. It was a Friday night so the place had a lot of people. 

I stepped outside and was instantly greeted by the cold air. "I should've brought a jacket." I shivered and grabbed my arms for warmth. Alex walked up from behind me and put a arm on my shoulder. "It should be warmer inside." "Actually, no. Supposedly restaurants keep it cooler inside because colder climates make you feel hungrier." I spat out a fact I just had in my head. Alex chuckled and pulled me closer as we walked into the building. I guess he was used to hearing me say these things.

It made me think about Spencer, and how we used to both tell one-another new facts all the time. I kinda missed it to be honest but we agreed to stay away from each other after the incident. Well we weren't really doing a good job at that were we? But I guess I was the one who got the job after I knew he probably had it too. But we both wanted it to badly so we couldn't just let one have it and the other find something else to do...

I was arguing with myself until I realized that tonight was about fun. I can't be thinking about Spencer the whole time. 

The waiter brought us to a booth that had a clean window where we could see a gorgeous part of town. "Wow." I said looking around. He really had impressed me. "I know right? It's really nice. But of coarse you deserve it. You've worked so hard and now you've finally got it! A job at the BAU!" I laughed. He was exaggerating obviously, but he was right. I had gotten 3 PhD's and a couple bachelors all dedicated for this job. 

"So, how is working at the BAU, Agent Casey?" He wiggled his eyebrows at the last part. Yes he may had been more excited about it then I was. Even though I had been working at the Sex Crimes Unit for 4 years, it still all felt new to me. That was my first job in the FBI though. 

"Well so far all we've done is paperwork." I sighed. "I'm sure you'll get a new case soon enough." Alex grabbed my hands and squeezed them. 

A waitress then walked up to us. She had dirty blonde hair tied up in a messy bun and green eyes. That was Alex's type. Actually he liked all girls but he banged mostly ones who looked like her. She had a few light freckles scattered around her face and bright red lip gloss on. The second she came up to us her attention went immediately to Alex.

"What can I get you guys to drink?" The question was supposed to be directed for the both of us but she was only looking at Alex. "Hmmm I'll get a Pepsi and a bit of you." He said looking her up and down, clearly checking her out. She bit her lip and giggled. "My name's Ruby."

Oh my god I do not care to be watching this right now.

"I'm Alex." He said back. "-Uh excuse me? I'll just get a Sprite." I told her because she was probably going to walk away without taking my order. Alex and I both did not drink alcohol. It was just not a habit we picked up. "Right." She said not even paying attention to me. At last she strutted away but she left Alex staring at her butt. 

I sighed. "What happened to this dinner being about me?" "Right sorry about that but you know I just couldn't resist." He tapped his fingers on the table biting his bottom lip. "Whatever. You know that was a really cheesy pickup line right?" "Yeah. But I still got her so it didn't matter."

When she came back she got Alex's Pepsi but she got me a Pineapple Fanta. Like what the hell lady, not even close.

After we finished eating, there was quite a fight on who would pay....

"Here." Alex tried to hand Ruby his credit card. I smacked his hand hard. "No! I'm paying, end of discussion." I opened up my wallet to see my card not there. "What the hell? Where-" I was cut off by Alex's snickering. He held up my card. "When'd you get that?!" I tried to snatch it from his hands but he held it up higher. "Ugh you dirty rat!" I sat back down and crossed my arms. "You may have an IQ of 183, but I can still always play you." He smirked.

"So who's paying?!" Ruby asked obviously getting impatient.  

"Me." Alex gave her his card and she ran off quickly probably because she thought I would protest again. I may have liked to fight with him, but deep down, I knew he would always be the dominate one.

We eventually made it home close to 11pm. We went to my house, of coarse because that's where we always went instead of Alex's apartment. 

"What do you want to do?" I asked.

"Uh I don't know, watch movies?" Alex jumped on my bed and grabbed the remote. "Sure but I'm changing first." That was his cue to go but he layed perfectly still on my mattress. 

"Uh, leave!" I pointed out the door. "Awe, I was hoping I could catch some action!" He whimpered, still on my bed. "Get out Alex!" "Ugh fine! I'm going to make popcorn though." "Okay that's fine just go."

Once he was out I changed into some pj's and washed off all my makeup. I decided on a show called "Insatiable" because it looked mildly interesting.

"Okay you can come in now! Alex walked in shirtless with a par of basketball shorts on which I don't even know where he got from. I could ask, but mystery makes life thrilling.

We watched the show till around 3am when I finally started falling asleep and Alex turned it off. He kissed my forehead. "Love you." And shut the lights out. He did move to the floor with a pillow and a blanket but that was the last thing I remembered before I blacked out.
