Chapter one

Miranda walked into her small galley kitchen and waltzed over to her fridge and grabbed a bottle of Pointe Gritio. She reached over to the top shelf and grabbed two wine glasses. She made sure to get the fancy ones with they 15 karat gold designs on the bell of the glass. The ones she had gotten for graduation. She had to balance every thing while nabbing the bottle opener. Then she made sure her hair looked nice as she walked back down the hallway to her bedroom.

There she found Spencer Reid on the bed waiting for her. She loved having men waiting on her, it made her feel in control; and when Miranda was in control things got good.

"Well hello… what do you have there?" Reid pulled himself up to sit with his back against the headboard of her king sized bed. "Wine… Ha! With your 'fancy' glasses." Spencer made sure to use air quotes around the word fancy.

"I thought you liked the fancy glasses, also if you don't mind… I could use a little help here." Miranda said while holding her items up in a shrugging motion.

"Oh sorry honey!" Reid jumped of the bed to help his obviously in need lover. "There we go…" He stole a kiss as he pulled away from her. "So, before we get to have a little bit of your exquisite choice of liquor, how was your day today?"

Miranda quickly put down her items on her side table and crawled onto the bed. She used Spencer like a human body pillow. He wasn't about to protest. "I dunno, I mean good I guess…" Miranda walked two fingers up Spencer's chest. "How was yours."

"No, no, wait a minute how was your day?" Spencer lifted her head to meet his eyes as he kissed her forehead slightly with each word he spoke. "What happened?"

Miranda sat up and looked Spencer in the eye. "Well, I mean," she moved a lock of hair behind Reid's ear. "I'm fine really, I'm just stressed…"

"Why?"

"Well, ya know, we never get to see each other outside of these little dates. And then when you leave it's the worst, because I can't even call you without being nervous that I will call you while you're gunning down an unsub and, well. I love you and I need to know that I'm not a Lila." Her speech speed rate increased the more passionate she became about her feelings. Throwing in the occasional hand movement.

This statement made Spencer rise up and rebuttal to this, "You will never be a Lila. Lila turned out to be heartless, evil, cold woman." Spencer gave Miranda's criss-crossed leg a reassuring squeeze. "You are my beautiful brunette, sexy, magnificent woman." He looked at her hazel eyes filling with pools of tears. "I tell you what, I will take next tomorrow off. It will be you and I, and a special place that will make you swoon."

"Really? Honey you don't have to. I mean I want you too, but I don't want you to feel like you should take time off for little old me." Miranda gave Reid her puppy dog eyes.

"I want to. Trust me." He gave her forehead a kiss and moved her hair behind her ears.

"Alright! So now…" Miranda grabbed her remote and pressed the play button, which started playing a special that she DVR'ed about the bringing back of dinosaurs. She reached over Spencer to grab the wine bottle opener. She popped the cork off and was about to throw it in the wastebasket by her bed, when Spencer stopped her.

"Wait, smell it." Spencer held the cork up to her nose. "If you like the smell you'll enjoy the wine more."

Miranda took a whiff of the wine cork as Spencer stroked her hair. He couldn't believe he was with a woman as beautiful as Miranda. She had long silky smooth dark chocolate hair. Her hazel eyes complemented the auburn highlights in her bangs. And her body was amazing. She had a long torso. But was well proportioned in the right areas.

"It smells good, I think I will enjoy it." She then gently kissed Spencer's nose, poured two glasses of the expensive wine and handed one to him and kept one for herself. "So, what are we doing tomorrow, Dr. Reid?"

"You will" he kissed the top of he head, "have to find out." Spencer took one of her hands in his and placed it over his heart. "Feel that?"

"Yeah, it's your heartbeat… wait, hold it!" Miranda placed Spencer's hand on her heart and waited for him to get what she was in awe about.

"Wait, our heartbeats…" He made his confused yet intrigued face.

"Are in perfect sync. Oh my goodness, okay if that's not the most romantic thing ever. I don't know what else is." She settled back into the position of Spence being the human body pillow. "Don't you know that, you mister, need to get some rest?"

"Yes, but so do you, and if you are up, then so am I." Kissing her with the last three words of his statement. He took her hands and gently folded them onto his chest.

Miranda then took grasp of his shirt in a full on fist and lunged him toward her. He was taken by surprise at first by her lust filled act, but then he let his arms grasp her body as they passionately kissed moving their mouths in sync.

When they finally parted their lips it was because of the pure need for oxygen. Their heavy breathing reassured that they couldn't do what their bodies were aching for. It was not that either of them had not wanted to make love but neither of them could muster up the courage to say they wanted to.

"Honey, I need to say something." Miranda sat up and looked Spencer in the eye.

"Yes angel." Spencer anticipated her saying the phrase that would, ultimately change their entire relationship

"I, um…" She looked at his eyes and saw the innocence, the purity, and the love in his eyes. "I love you."

"I love you too ," He reached at her and embraced her and cupped her head in his hand.

While nestled in Spencer's neck Miranda whispered, "One day, I promise…"
