Spencer Reid rolled over in his bed and stared at the clock on his bedside table. It was just past 6:30 a.m. but he knew there was no way he would be able to go back to sleep.

So instead he got up and walked to the kitchen to make his usual cup of morning coffee. He knew he drank to much but he couldn't make it through his stressful job everyday without it.

After his coffee he decided he would head to work early. As the elevator doors opened he noticed that Hotch was already in. He knew Hotch was always there before the rest of the team, but he never noticed how early he actually got there.

Rather than go annoy his boss this early he went over to his desk and threw his bag down at the end of it, glaring at the overly large pile of case files stacked on the top lefthand corner.

Hoping to get his mind off trying to figure out the reason he hadn't been sleeping lately, he buried his mind into the first case in the stack. But, that didn't last for long.

Soon enough the reason for his sleepless nights came in for work. Emily Prentiss stepped out of the elevator and smiled at Reid, giving him a quick wave and heading to her desk almost directly across from his.

Great it's not enough I haven't had any sleep for the past three nights, now I have her to distract me.

Recently since what happened to them in Colorado Emily had kept a closer eye on Reid. Not that he disliked it though. Actually he liked it a lot. Maybe even a little too much.

To tell the truth Reid really didn't know what had changed between them on that case. But one thing he did know was that it definitely wasn't the same.

Rather than him seeing her as just a good friend, he started thinking about her a lot. Even on cases he would go off into another world thinking about her.

Morgan, being his usual self, even began calling it his "Reid Dimension" and teased him about it. Like he didn't tease the genius enough already.

Too distracted to look at his case files he began thinking again. And of course, as they always did, his thoughts started to drift off to Emily.

Feeling as if she was being stared at Prentiss look up from her work to notice, as she thought, someone was staring.

Hello Dr. Reid. Someone is looking good today.

Wait. There is no way he is staring at me. He would have blushed by now, or noticed me staring at him.

She decided to make sure he was okay.

"Reid.."

"Reid!"

"Spencer!"

"What?" Reid jumped returning from his dream world.

"Are you okay?" asked Prentiss.

"Y-yeah I'm fine, w-why?" he managed to push out in kind of a stutter.

"You just seem like something is bothering you."

"I'm fine!" he exclaimed realizing how harsh his tone was after seeing the look on Emily's face.

"I'm sorry." he said in an apologetic tone. "I'm jus-"

"Reid, it's fine. I'm just worried about you. You seem really zoned out lately."

That's when he realized she was standing beside him. Her touch on his shoulder was like an electric shock coursing throughout his entire body.

Wow, she looks good today.

Shut up you jack-ass, what are you thinking?

He mentally kicked himself for thinking like that with her right there.

What if she realized how he felt about her? She is a first class profiler, and he knew as well as anything else that she did not feel that way about him.

"Reid you are doing it again!"

"I'm sorry Emily I just haven't been sleeping well lately." he said in the most reassuring tone he could possibly get out without her realizing that he was lying.

"Okay, I'll take that for now. But only because this team made a promise to never profile each other." she gave him one of her sincere Emily smiles "but when you are ready to talk about it, you can tell me."

With that said and done she walked away from Reid and back to her desk.

Damn he is cute.

What the hell? What are you saying that for? He doesn't like you!

But he sure looks good in that sweater vest.

"Stop it!" she told herself, possibly a little louder than she should have.

Reid looked up with both eyebrows raised in confusion.

"Did you say something Prentiss?"

Wow, his eyes are amazing.

"Emily..?"

"Oh, sorry Reid. Just talking to myself over here."

Damnit now you look like your crazy!

Prentiss let out a long sigh and buried herself in her work, hoping it would get her mind away from thinking about Reid.
