Y/N's POV

I wandered aimlessly around my home, bored out of my mind before receiving and text from JJ around 6pm.

JJ: sorry about the late message but same bar as usual, 8pm? xx

Me: absolutely perfect xx

JJ: see you then xx

I grinned to myself before rushing to my room, as soon as I placed my phone down.

I enjoyed nights like this, not only because I get to spend my time with amazing people but I don't get to go out often.

I whipped open my closet door and carefully searched through each individual article of clothing before landing on this velvet, black off-the-shoulder dress that I had only worn a couple of times.

It was perfect.

After a short shower, I threw my hair up and wrapped it in a t-shirt before sliding the dress onto my body, once it was dry.

God my tits look great.

I sat down in front of my mirror and did my makeup; a smokey eye that was bold but not tacky, with a dark red lip.

I pulled the t-shirt from my head, letting my damp waves fall past my shoulders.

I made my way to my kitchen, pouring myself a couple of shots to ready myself before going out, also to pass the time while my hair dries.

It was about 7:40 when I slid my black heels on my feet and a bag over my shoulder, my hair dry and ready to go.

I took one last look in the mirror before leaving my apartment, locking the door behind me.

I thought about bringing a jacket but it was only a small walk and I knew it was gonna be boiling inside of the bar so I didn't bother.

I finally reached the bar, confidently making my way inside, stopping for a second as I looked around for the group.

Once my eyes fell on them, I made my way towards the table.

"woo hoo hoo" Emily grinned as Garcia began dramatically fanning herself with the drinks menu.

"woah mamas, look at you" Derek smirked as JJ wolf whistled my way.

"why hello, gorgeous people" I smiled, sitting down next between Reid and Garcia on one side of the booth.

"hey hottie, where've you been all my life?" Garcia elbowed my side gently, a grin on her face.

"right in front of you this whole time, I've been waiting for you to notice me" I playfully blew her a kiss.

"hey Spencer" I turned to the boy on my left who hadn't said a word thus far.

He gave me a small smile and a gentle wave.

"so drinks?" Emily wondered.

"finally" JJ grinned, getting up from her seat.

"just get everything of everything" Derek joked.

"aye aye captain" the blonde nodded and left the table.

"so I've started reading the narrative of John Smith" I turned to Reid.

"how'd you like it so far?" he lifted his head to look at me, I noticed that he wouldn't catch my eyes.

"its really interesting, I'm really enjoying it so far. I read it for like 3 hours last night and I'm almost halfway through" I smiled.

"3 hours?" he furrowed his eyebrows.

"oh ignore him, Mr 'I can ready 20,000 words per second' Emily snickered.

"really?" I turned back to the boy, who then nodded. "with the eidetic memory, that must go hand in hand. I can't imagine how many books you've read in your life"

"Well I read a book almost every day so if we estimate that to 350 books a year and I'm currently 24 and 4 months so it would be roughly 8,610" he stated. "but sometimes I read multiple books in one day so it's probably another 300 in addition"

"are.. are you guys used to this?" I turned to the group.

"sometimes it still shocks us but yeah we're pretty much used to it" Derek nodded.

"amazing" I sighed, turning back to Spencer.

"I'm uh glad you're enjoying the book. I'd like to hear your thoughts after you've finished it, if that's okay?" he wondered.

"I had a feeling you'd ask that so I've been writing notes on each page since I started it" I nodded.

"cool, so did I. maybe we can exchange notes and discuss them after you're done" he suggested.

"I'd very much like that" I smiled, turning back to the group who was sort of just staring our way.. almost dumbfounded.

"heres my number, give me a message when you're done" he took a card out of his cardigan pocket and passed it my way, I took it from his hands and slid it into my bag.

JJ's POV

I looked around the group to see that they all had the same slightly shocked, almost dumbfounded look on their faces.

"I'm gonna head to the bathroom, I'll be back now" and within a second, Y/N had left the table and headed to the bathroom across the bar.

"damn, pretty boy got game" Derek smirked by the side of me.

"hmm?" Spencer turned to us. "what are you talking about?"

"please, you've been staring at her since she came in here and now you've given her your number so you can.. invite her over and exchange book notes?" Garcia grinned.

"I'm really interested in her thoughts and ideas on the novel" he stated.

"that better be the case, she has a girlfriend remember" I chuckled lightly.

"she does?" Spencer turned to me.

I stared at him.

"uh.. yeah, Lucy" I stated.

"Lucy's her girlfriend?!" Spencer exclaimed.

"yeah, that's exactly why we met y/n in the first place, spence" Emily furrowed her eyebrows. "how did you not know?"

"well not once throughout that night was it ever clarified that they're dating" he spat.

"he's got a point, they weren't exactly very coupley that night" Derek butted in.

"they never really are" Emily furrowed her eyebrows.

"so how I was supposed to know" Spencer shrugged.

"so you were asking her out!" Emily grinned.

"what? nu.. no! I wasn't..." he was practically pouting at this point. "am I the kind of person who would ask a girl out after meeting her twice?"

"..he does have a point" Derek mumbled.

"okay, pretty boy. We'll drop it, you're not bold enough to just ask a girl out like that" Garcia nodded as y/n returned to the table.
