Maybe one day? - Spencer Reid x Reader

Chapter 3

You woke up the next morning at 8am. You look at your phone & sigh, even on a weekend you still can't seem to sleep more than you'd like, you had errands to run & were going to see a friend of yours in the morning. You notice Prentiss had already messaged you with a Snapchat of her with a bear filter on. You chuckle to yourself while scrolling on social media for 15 minutes before realising you need to get up and start the day.

You go downstairs and choose your coffee from your Tassimo pod stash, they're next to the coffee machine in a grey box lined up in order. You make the coffee, add the sugar & sit down on the sofa while scrolling again. Your phone flashes and you see your friend Mira calling you.

"Hey girlie, you awake?" You almost roll your eyes, she makes you laugh.

"Nah deep sleep over here mate, leave a message!" You hear her giggle back at you. "You okay?"

"Yeah, well you know how you have those returns to post? Well instead of going for coffee at the Costa near there why don't we head to that new frozen iced tea place near the shopping centre? It looks pretty cute" You had wanted to try it to be honest, they did hot drinks so you could decide then too.

"Yeah let's do that. They have a strawberry basil frozen tea that I saw on Instagram" You hear your friend 'oooh' in response.

"Sound, still okay for 10:30?" You nod, then realise that she can't actually see you.

"Of course sweet, see you then!"

"Great, I'll text you when I set off"

"Sounds good, love you!"

"Love you! Bye!" She hangs up and leaves you to your coffee. You honestly were looking forward to going out but you also had the meal in the afternoon, you were hoping you had time to come back home & chill for abit before heading out. You scroll for a little longer, watching Youtube until it turned 9am.

You went upstairs and bought all your make up downstairs and did it. You liked heavy make up at times but you knew you'd be able to touch it up between the days events so did a base make up. You liked your make up a certain way and did it like you always did while watching Netflix at the same time, your house felt so quiet at times and you felt like without the noise of the TV you'd feel too lonely.

After you finished your make up you went upstairs to your room to pick an outfit, honestly you just felt like wearing a baggy t shirt and leggings but wanted to make some effort for your friend, you hadn't seen her in so long.. You weren't really trendy nor did you have just one aesthetic, your friends did but alas another thing that you felt like you didn't have a grasp on. You picked out black ripped skinny jeans (you knew straight leg jeans were in style but they just didn't suit you much) a black boxy over sized crop top that had a raw hem. Looking in the mirror you didn't feel like you looked that good but it would have to do.

You ran down the stairs looking for those black and beige trainers which had the suede finish. You make sure everything is locked, check your hamsters dish is still half full and walk out of the house with your keys, phone & bag.

Jumping in your car, you text Mira and let her know you'll be around 15 minutes. She messaged back a second later and you chuckle to yourself. You really did love that girl.

On your journey you're somewhat distracted, you fill up your tank and pay without really taking anything in. Your week had been long & hard and you needed to destress. You really needed to let your hair down for a night and just enjoy yourself but let's be real, you didn't have anyone to really help you the way you needed and you were so fed up with the unsolicited dick pics and nasty messages you'd get from men online. You were always a little bit intimidated talking to women, they were these majestic beings and you felt like every woman was above you. You hadn't been out for very long & it wasn't very public as you had unfortunately experienced homophobia before which left you feeling very insecure.
