Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds

A/N: This starts after Scared to Death in season 3 so there's no Rossi yet.

I know that this is really short, but I wrote this to help curb my writer's block.


Spencer was sitting at a table in his favorite coffee shop while wondering if Gideon was still alive when he heard a female voice.

"Since every table is taken, mind if I join you?" asked a young woman as she smiled when she saw that Spencer was reading Sherlock Holmes.

The recently turned 26 year old genius looked up from his book and noticed a pretty young woman who looked around 25 years old standing by the chair across from him.

"Go ahead since I will be leaving for work soon." said Spencer as he took a bite of his brownie.

The woman sat down across from Spencer and smiled.

"I love Sherlock Holmes books." said the woman before taking a sip of her coffee.

Spencer finished chewing his brownie and made eye contact with the mystery woman.

"I always end up loving every book that I read." said Spencer.

"I'm Dr. Maeve Donovan." said Maeve as she held out her hand.

Spencer nervously shook Maeve's hand while feeling a spark.

"Dr. Spencer Reid." said Spencer before pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

Maeve gasped.

"I've read everything you published in psychology journals." said Maeve.

"Really?" asked Spencer as he thought about his mom telling him that he would know it when he meets the right girl.

Maeve nodded.

"I've been thinking about writing you a compliment, but now I don't need to." said Maeve.

Spencer looked at his watch before looking at Maeve while thinking about the therapist that Hotch sent him to after he got clean from his forced addiction to Dilaudid telling him that he should think about gaining a social life that doesn't involve his teammates.

"As much as I would love to talk about my published work I really need to get to work, but if I'm in town on Saturday would you like to go out for dinner so we can talk more?" asked Spencer.

"Its a date." smiled Maeve as she grabbed her purse and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and wrote her number that Spencer quickly glanced at.

"Your not going to take it?" asked Maeve.

"I have an eidetic memory meaning that I just memorized your number, and I really have to catch my train since I work in Quantico." said Spencer before rushing towards the door.

Maeve quickly got up and rushed towards Spencer.

"Wait." said Maeve.

Spencer turned around.

"Aren't you going to give me your number?" asked Maeve.

"Check the pocket of your sweater." said Spencer.

Maeve quickly checked before she started giggling when she saw Spencer's business card.

"How did you do that?" asked Maeve.

"A magician never reveals his secrets." said Spencer.


A/N: Love it that I should continue? Hate it that I shouldn't continue? If I continue this, it might be awhile before I post a second chapter because I have a few other stories in progress.
