So I have never done a love story and especially have never made up my own character, like a main character but I have read some and it has inspired me. I actually am in love with the story ''Music and The Genius" by FireFlies Flash, I highly recommend that one. Anyway, I hope you like this one, please Read and review and please be kind about it, any comments that are going to be a harsher volume please PM me, thank you, love Layna. PS a lot of these Statistics are made up, I really have no clue and I am not a great researcher so don't trust them.

The last case had been awful; the team had spent a whole week in Hollywood, looking for a man who was killing a variety of victims all to accommodate the Agatha Christie novel, And Then There Were None. The real brain behind it all was of course Spencer who had read the book as a child and after the second victim caught on. It was great to be home as they all wanted to relax and enjoy some much needed time with their loved ones. As the doors to the elevator opened, an overjoyed Garcia greeted the team.
"Oh my doves, I am so glad you are home!" She hugged all of them, even Hotch allowed it after that week.
"I am so glad to be home, Will and I are having a nice dinner at La Rocca tonight." JJ said excitedly.
"That is so fun; I too have a date with Sam, Derek, and Savannah." Garcia smiled her brightest smile.
"Savannah has been talking nonstop about it, she is excited, I think she likes Penelope more than me," Derek said with a playful eye roll.
"Well Beth is back in town so Jack and I are going to take her to a movie, Jack's choice," Hotch said.
"That's awesome Hotch, how long is she back for?" JJ asked.
"Well nothing is official but she may be moving back for a job here." He smiled a rare form of Hotch but one the team loved to see.
"That's great buddy," Rossi said.
"What are you up to Rossi?" Reid asked
"Some old war buddies of mine are here for a week and I've missed the first three days but I'm going out for drinks tonight."
"What about you pretty boy?" Morgan asked clapping his hand on the genius' back.
"Oh, I don't really have anything planned, maybe find a good book." He said giving a half smile to the team, they worried for him, he did not get out too much and ever since Maeve, they noted his heartbreak that he hid every day.
"How about brunch tomorrow Spence," JJ gave a sympathetic smile which she hoped Reid would not take wrong.
"It's okay JJ; You, Will and Henry need some Family time, I'll survive the weekend." He was able to bring a convincing smile to his face though the team was not easily fooled.
"Okay everyone lets go debrief and then go home," Hotch said bringing them away from the topic, they all agreed and moved into the conference room, ready to get it done and over with.

Spencer walked down the street on the chilly winter night, he thought back to his team and all of their faces when he said he was just going to go home. He wished they wouldn't worry so much, he was fine and though he had no one to come home to, he was content. The walk from the Metro to his house was a little bit of a long one, it was nights like these he wished, he had a car but he didn't mind being able to see the snow drift slowly down, it was a gorgeous sight really. As he turned the corner to his apartment building, he was knocked down to the icy sidewalk.
"I am so sorry," a sweet voice said, he watched the girl stand up and brush herself from the snow that had attached itself to her. She looked a few years younger than him and she was very pretty. Her caramel colored hair was let down, cascaded down her shoulders in perfect curls, the top of her head covered by a knitted white hat, she had gorgeous green eyes behind the black framed of her glasses. She was a petite figure, her face thin and slight freckles scattered about over the bridge of her nose, Spencer felt slightly intimidated because of her beauty, normal he was not able to get the courage to talk back to pretty girls.
"You're fine; I wasn't really paying attention to my surroundings." He said as he sat up, she smiled down at him, she had an amazingly warming smile, She extended her arm to help him up, he took it but quickly retracted let go with a slight hiss in pain. Her face turned to a concerned one and she kneeled next to him.
"Oh no, let me see your hand, I'm a nurse," Her was voice soft and soothing.
"I'm okay, maybe a minor sprain." She tilted her head and looked at him with a "are you trying to act like a tough guy" face, he held out his hand and she gently took it and examined it.
"I think you may have a slight sprain, we should get it wrapped," She said as she helped him stand up. He had a million statistics of sprains running through his mind but he kept them to himself.
"Okay, I am sure one of these drugstores is open, I will go right now." He said as he steadied himself from slipping on the icy ground below.
"Oh no need, I have a first aid kit, my apartment is right around the corner."
"You live here?" He said as she pointed to his apartment building.
"Yeah I just moved in a week ago, do you live around here," asked as she walked thought the door.
"Actually, I live here, on the second floor," She turned and smiled him in a comical way.
"I haven't seen you here before, what apartment?"
"Oh I was out of town for work, I live in apartment 23."
"Well you are just three apartments away, everyone I have met so far have been very silent and keeps to themselves, I only met a few on the stairs of on my way into the building. I met this woman who lives on the other side of you, Mrs. Cavanaugh and she is quite the busy body." Spencer chuckled as they made it to her door and she stuck her keys in and unlocked the door.
"She is very nosy, and she likes to take things that you leave out, I'd be careful." They entered her apartment and as Spencer expected, it was very homey, the décor was soft, from the colors to the knickknacks, she had on the shelves on her wall, and she had bookshelves on the wall and most of them coated with books.
"I'll be right back, make yourself at home," She disappeared down the hall leaving him in the living room. He walked around and looked at all the novels amongst the shelves, a lot of them famous authors or poets and some of them he had never heard of.
"Oh I see you have found my secret, I am quite a bookworm." She said as she sat herself on her couch patting the seat next to her. She took out the materials she needed then closed the box, and took his injured wrist.
"You have quite the collection," he commented.
"Yeah, I have never met anyone with more books than me; my friends always tell me I should have majored in English." She wrapped the bandage around his wrist before stopping abruptly and looking to him. "I just realized, I don't know your name, and you don't know mine, I guess in all the chaos we forgot, I'm Lennon Jennings."
"I'm Dr. Spencer Reid." He did not know why he added the doctor; maybe he was so used to it when he introduced himself to the police departments or victims' families.
"Wow, a doctor, what hospital do you work at?"
"I'm not that kind of doctor, I hold three Ph.D and to B.A.s" He looked to her and saw the shock that he got from mostly everyone he met when they heard about his intelligence.
"Wow, what are you some sort of genius?" She jokingly asked.
"I don't like to use that term but I have an eidetic memory, I can read 20,000 words per minute and I have an IQ of 187." He looked at her, her mouth ajar and shock in her eyes.
"Wow, I have never met a genius before, what do you do for a living?"
"I am a behavior analyst for the FBI we specialize in catching Serial killers, kidnappers, rapists and other criminals."
"Quite the Job Doctor Reid, well you are all set, leave this on for a few days and you should be fine," She smiled at him admiring her work.
"Thank you Lennon," He stood up from the couch and walked to the door.
"Don't thank me I was the one who did it to you," she laughed as she opened the door. He stepped out into the dim lit hallway and they exchanged their goodbyes before parting their ways. As he walked away, Spencer had a subtle smile across his face; he hoped to see more of Lennon.

Reid wrapped his scarf around his neck, preparing himself for the cold walk to the metro. The team had at least two days before a case came up and took away their relaxing time. As he pulled his messenger bag strap up higher on his shoulder and locked his door, he heard his name being called. Down the hall was Lennon, her brilliant smile flashing as she waved him; she wore a white pea coat and underneath she wore maroon scrubs, she wore the same knitted cap she had on when they met and her beauty shone in her expressions.
"Hello Lennon," He greeted returning the smile though his was not was perfect as hers.
"Hello Doctor, where are you heading to?" She asked eyeing his messenger bag.
"I got called to a case; we have to fly to San Antonio, Texas."
"Wow though I am very sure that that means nothing good, a part of me is jealous of the fact that you are getting to go to warmer weather." She said with a daring smile.
"I am a little glad, snow was never my favorite, I was born and raised in Las Vegas," He said as they descended the stairs.
"I bet you are a killer at the casinos."
"I was actually banned from a few because they thought I was counting cards but really I just understand probability and learned to weigh the odds in my favor."
"Remind me to invite you next time I go to the casino," She laughed as they reached the bottom of the stairs, as they exited they saw the beginning of a blizzard. "Spencer, let me give you a ride to the Metro," She said as she looked concerning at the flurry of snow.
"Would it be out of your way?" He asked.
"No, Stafford Hospital is ten minutes away, beside I was leaving really early anyway, I hate to be late, I am very OCD about that." Spencer smiled and gratefully accepted the offer, it took them a minute or two to brush off the car and once inside they shivered as they waited for the heat to kick on.
"Sorry, it takes it a minute." She pulled away from the curb and they were on their way.
"So how long have you been working at Stafford?"
"Believe it or not this is my first day, I am so nervous, I mean this is my second nursing job but meeting new people and getting use to the atmosphere is going to take time."
"Where did you work before here?"
"I used to work at Unity Hospital in there ED but I couldn't take Rochester, to many bad memories so instead I moved here."
"You will do great, you are very kind and my wrist is healing nicely." He held up his arm showing the flexibility of his wrist.
"Good, so do you know what the case is about?"
"No we get briefed at work then we get on the jet and head there.
"Wow, a jet, this job is crazy." He laughed and nodded as he watched her concentrate on the road, her body arched towards the wheel as she squinted as she searched through the snow.
"This is getting worse; I am in for quite the day." She turned up the windshield wipers on higher level.
"There are 1.5 million weather related accidents, about 75% of these are snow related and in Virginia there are only about 100 snow accidents per year however this magnitude of snow might up this number." She looked at him in wonder of a second before she turned back to the road; he became nervous that he did his statistic rant. Everyone got annoyed when he went off on one and usually either left or told him how annoying his statistics were but he was shocked when she spoke.
"You amaze me, all that knowledge and you can just spew it out, it's an amazing gift you have," She pulled over the car and put it in park.
"Thanks for the ride," He said with a smile.
"You're welcome, hey when you get back we should hang out, like have coffee or something, I am glad I have at least one friendly neighbor."
"I'd love that; I'll come see you when I get back."
"Oh wait call me, here" She took his phone and entered her number in while simultaneously giving him her phone, he entered his and handed back her phone, had he really gotten her number.
"Well I better get going; I'll see you when I get back." He stepped out into the flurry and waved goodbye as she pulled away and dove off.

Reid walked into the BAU with a smile on his face, she had referred to his mind as wonderful and that was something he barely ever heard. As he entered the room, he caught the eye of JJ who did not looked pleased that they were there, it was less family time that she had wished to spend with her family.
"Why are you all smiles?"
"I don't know, just in a good mood I guess." He responded but she gave him a look, she wasn't so easily convinced.
"A good mood after getting called in on our time off that should be illegal," Morgan said as he walked up to them.
"Who is in a good mood?" Garcia asked as she walked in, shivering.
"Reid, come one Spence, what's up?" JJ asked.
"Can't I just be in a good mood?"
"Nah Pretty boy, what did you do this week, get a little something something?"
"No," Reid said too defensively, he was a profiler; he should know how to keep himself in check.
"That was defensive, he is hiding something," Garcia said happy that she caught on.
"She is right Spence, what is it?" They all crowded him waiting, as he opened his mouth to speak he heard Hotch call for them and he felt relief flood his body.
"You got lucky, this isn't over," Morgan teased as he walked to the conference room.

This is where I leave you I hope you like it! The team is really on Reid right now but he is not about to tell them because he does not think that him and Lennon are anything, it is a harmless crush to him so we will see. Please Read and Review and let me know!
