Ch. 1 Dirty Little Secret
Dr. Spencer Reid sat up in his dimmed bedroom and stared at the red head who was currently fast asleep beside him.
He could honestly say that he had no idea why she wanted him of all people.
He didn't exactly think of himself as an attractive guy. The only words he could ever come up with to describe himself were freakish, nerdy, and odd. Madison was perfect.
Sure there was really no such thing as being truly perfect, but she was certainty close to it in Spencer's mind.
He had always thought that she was way out of his league. She had the darkest red hair he had ever seen. Almost a burgundy color that she was convinced was too frizzy and messy. Even though he had disagreed with her over this many time. The most incredible brown eyes he had ever seen. It was like he could stare at them for hours and never once get bored. She had milky skin that had a few freckles randomly spread over her body that he was convinced was flawless. She had a very womanly, curvy figure. Though she wasn't the tallest person or at least as tall as him. She was maybe five foot three or four at the most.
Spencer was convinced he loved everything about her. From the way she fixed her hair to her quirky sense of humor to the way she could get so excited over the most simple things. Things that he always thought weren't a big deal.
He only wished he could share how he felt about Madison with everyone, but they reluctantly had to keep it all a secret.
Madison was Garcia's half sister. Her younger sister of course. She was 25 Reid's age. The fact that she was Penelope's half sister who she was protective over maybe way too protective over was the reason that they had kept so quiet about their relationship. The relationship that had grown quickly over the past six months.
They were pretty sure that Penelope might not be too thrilled about the aspect of her coworker dating her younger sister. Not that Garcia and Reid weren't friends it was just complicated.
Spencer and Madison meeting had been sort of an accident.
Madison had come to the BAU to meet up with her sister. Since Penelope was supposed to help her look for an apartment. Madison had just moved to DC not to long ago and was growing tired of Penelope's couch.
Unfortunately before she had the chance to even make it to her sisters office she had run into Spencer. Spencer was far too focused on making it to the break room to grab his usual cup of sugar and coffee to watch where he was going.
He had accidentally knocked her over which had of course made him automatically turn a bright shade of crimson. He had repeatedly apologized while dropping to his knees to help her gather her purse and such. She had told him that it was really okay. Before he had the chance to respond Penelope had come out of her office and spotted Madison. She had of course introduced the two before ushering Madison away to go look at apartments.
For some reason Spencer could not get her off his mind. Sure they hadn't spent more than a few minutes talking, and it wasn't even really having a conversation. He didn't know what to call it. He just couldn't forget Madison.
After a week of thinking about her he had finally made up his mind to call her. After all Penelope had mentioned something about Madison staying with her. He had Garcia's home number programmed into his cell phone along with all his other coworkers cell and home numbers. So it wouldn't be a big deal if Penelope answered he could just make up an excuse as to why he called. The only thing that had worried him is what exactly he would say if Madison answered.
It wasn't like he was Morgan. He couldn't just call up a girl and carry on a normal conversation with her and ask her out without being nervous, or fearful of rejection.
He had never even had a real girlfriend. He had only been on one sort of date with JJ to that football game, and that had been a disaster. Not to mention he had only kissed one girl and that was Lila. He had convinced himself that she didn't mean it when they kissed. After all she was scared and she was just reacting to the idea that he was there to watch over her.
He had no idea how to even really ask a girl out. Which is why It had taken him another week before he finally worked up the nerve to call her. To his fear and luck Madison had been the one to answer the phone. Surprisingly they had talked for two hours once he explained exactly who he was. Their whole relationship took off after that. They went out to dinner the very next night and kept on seeing each other afterwards. Behind Garcia's back of course. Which had been hard at first, but they had gotten better at it. Garcia seemed to have no idea and tried to set Madison up often which Madison refused. Now six months later they were perfectly happy and pretty serious, but they knew they were going to have to tell Penelope eventually. They just hadn't found the right time or place to do it.
Spencer couldn't help but to smile a little when Madison rolled over and frowned slightly before speaking up still half asleep
"Spencer how many times do I have to tell you not to stare at people when they sleep it's weird".
Spencer blushed a little before blurting out "sorry I didn't mean too".
She nodded before burying her head in his chest and muttering
"it's okay it really isn't a big deal it just feels weird to wake up and see someone with their face right up against yours that's all".
She sighed before frowning slightly and looking up at him "what time is it anyway"?
Spencer spoke up noticing for the first time that it was actually getting bright outside "It's almost seven".
Madison's head shot up immediately before she started to scramble out of bed over Spencer before she started cursing repeatedly "Oh shit. This is so not good".
Spencer sat up frowning slightly at the fact that his girlfriend was leaning in front of the dresser searching for clothing. Luckily she kept extra outfits here just in case. He was a bit confused that she was in such a rush on a Sunday morning when they'd usually sleep in. Considering Sunday was usually his only day off.
"What's wrong"?
She sighed looking up at him as she managed to fish a clean bra out of the bottom dresser drawer "It's Sunday".
Spencer grinned feeling a little confused, but more amused by her behavior than anything else "yeah so"?
She rolled her eyes "its Sunday May 5th".
He frowned still feeling completely confused before she sighed "My sister, her 29th birthdays today. I'm supposed to meet her for breakfast in about an hour".
Spencer nodded feeling slightly disappointed. This meant that she most likely would be going back to her own apartment tonight and he most likely wouldn't be coming home to her tomorrow.
He watched her throw on her clothes quickly and do her makeup before pulling her hair back into a messy bun.
She walked over to the bed quickly and kissed him softly before sighing and speaking up "I know I'm really sorry. I know this is our day, but I really can't get out of this. I would spend all day with you if I could find a way. I love you bye".
Spencer kissed back and tried to hold on to her but she let go and walked away before grabbing her purse and shutting his bedroom door.
He sighed and laid back against his bed knowing that he would most likely spend his day reading or watching Star Trek reruns on TV. Kind of like he used to do all the time on his days off, well before he met Madison.
He really wished that their relationship was all out in the open. Sure he'd have to put up with a few extra jokes from Morgan. He knew it would be really weird around Garcia, but at least they wouldn't have to sneak around like it was a crime.
If everyone knew then maybe he could actually have a picture of her on his desk like a normal boyfriend. Then maybe she could move in with him officially. Instead of having some apartment that she didn't even really stay in, but he knew they couldn't tell anyone at least not yet.
