Dancing in the rain
It was a cloudy sunday afternoon when he met her. It was Spencer Reid's day off and he was spending it in a used bookstore. He scaled the shelves for the book.
He found it on a shelf where it didnt belong. Spencer picked it up and ran his fingers over its worn pages. He started walking towards the desk to pay, still looking at the book what he walked right into her.
"Oops!", he said, "Are you alr-"
He stopped short when he saw her. She had dark red hair that fell in gentle waves around her face. She had sparkling blue eyes and a playful smile.
"Yeah I'm fine." She said while dusting herself off. Then she saw what he was holding. "Is that 'The red headed league' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle? That was written in the 1890s right?"
But he just stared at her. For the first time in his life, Spencer Reid was at a loss for words. He couldn't believe that this beatifull woman was even talking to him right now, let alone having the same book interests he did.
He realised he had been staring too long and tried to answer her question.
"1891 to be exact. It was one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's earlier works and was the second book in 'The adventures of Sherlock Holmes' series, written only 35 year before his last book in the series-"
He was cut off by her laughter.
"Sorry," she said, "I've just never heard anyone speak like you before. It's amazing really. Sorry to interupt. I'm Theresa by the way. Theresa Woode, but most people call me Tessa."
"I'm Dr. Spencer Reid, or just Reid, or Spencer there is someone who calls me Spence and I don't really go by doctor and-
She laughed again and he blushed.
Thunder rumbled outside. "Aw damn!" Tessa exclaimed, "I didn't realise the time! I have to get going to unpack."
"You just moved here?" he asked.
"Yeah i just got offered a job here. But maybe I'll see you around."
As she tried to leave, Spencer Reid said "Wait! Don't you want to stay here? A storm is coming and you'll get caught in the rain! The weather statistics for this month show an unusual amount of rain that lasts for a long period of time! When you get wet, the microbes in your body could start-"
And he blushed again because he realised he was rambling. She smiled back and said "I like the rain. Does'nt it make you want to dance?"
And with that, Spencer Reid watched the girl of his dreams walk out of the bookstore, and dance onto the street in the middle of the storm, and away from him.
