I'm back with a new story.
I'm a little hesitant with this one but we'll see for now.
I hope it's too the satisfaction of you Criminal Minds readers and those who like Spencer Reid with an OC.
Tell me if she becomes a little mary-sue-ish, if anyone is OOC, or something doesn't add up.

Anywho, I don't own Criminal Minds, for if I were I would be doing something other than this.

August 18. 10:00 PM

The building felt closed in, like any other day, she worked. It was always busy when either she or Denise worked. The smoke of the cigarettes cloaked a good portion of the room and the smell of alcohol and sweat overwhelmed the scent of anything that once smelt good in the room. Not to mention the lights would blind anyone who wasn't used to it.

None of it concerned Bellany anyway, as long as she could go home and finish studying for her college exams.

The song was almost over which meant that her dance sequence was ending. The last dance Bellany had to do tonight. One might think that the catcalls and the money being shoved into her leggings and panties would get tiring but she got used to it. It wasn't a very safe profession, it paid the bills, and that was what mattered.

"Hey Christmas! Santa's got a big package for you," A man screamed out in the front row. Christmas was Bellany's stage name and since that was her stage name, it was funny to her how many Christmas related pickup lines there were.

Bellany heels clicked on the stage and she leaned over to the man, caressing his cheek. "Sorry baby but Christmas is over," she gave him a wink and went backstage to get dressed.

Bellany opened her Hello Kitty bag pulling out a white strapless dress that fell to her knees with a black sash on it, her favorite cream-colored heels and her black lace stockings. She quickly got dressed and brushed her hair out, putting on the headband for the final touch. She wasn't a girl much for makeup so she never wore any except for the occasional eyeliner or lip-gloss.

Denise grabbed Bellany's shoulder and smiled at her, "you did a good job out there"

"Thanks, I think the guys out there are slightly frustrated" Bellany replied.

Denise laughed; her laugh immediately could put anyone to ease. "Well it's because we had a good line-up today. Anyway I'm leaving so I'll see you tomorrow"

The two girls gave each a quick hug. Bellany had to admit that even though the two are competitors most of the time, Denise was a good girl. She dropped out of high school and started to work at The Mansion ever since. She was a pretty girl, with long eyelashes, a baby face, long natural blonde hair that fell right to her mid back, and big golden brown eyes. Bellany did feel inferior to the younger girl at times but she knew some people preferred her pinup style to Denise's baby style.

This was Denise's stage name, Baby. The only reason Bellany's stage name was Christmas was because of her last name; Holiday.

Bellany waved to the other girls and got to her car. Today was grocery night. She started her small silver slug bug and headed towards the store. This wasn't that long of a drive.

She pulled into the parking lot of Dillon's and walked inside, waving to some of the cashiers who knew her. Bellany got the things she needed and some things she wanted, like her popcorn and fast breaks. Bellany found that they were a wonderful combination.

She walked to aisle 5 and smiled at Danny, the elderly man who always worked this shift. "Hey Danny, how are you tonight?" The familiar beeping sound of something being scanned cut the silence.

"It's slow, it seems the only thing I look forward to, is seeing your pretty face" Danny said with a mischievous smile.

Bellany laughed and playfully hit him on the arm. "Hush you! Your wife might get jealous"

"Now why would she be jealous if she's much prettier than you are?" The two grinned at one another.

"I'm sure she would appreciate hearing that"

The last thing was scanned and Danny handed Bellany her receipt. "That's $52.56" Bellany pulled out her Tinkerbell wallet and Danny gave an amused laugh, "aren't you a little too old to be carrying a Hello Kitty bag and a Tinkerbell wallet?"

Bellany stuck her tongue out at him and gave him the exact amount. "Maybe Hello Kitty and Tinkerbell can be loved by anyone," She said with a teasing anger.

Danny held his hands up, "I'm sorry to question your femininity Bellany"

"That's a good apology. I shall hold you up to that should you ever make fun of my bag and wallet again"

"I'm quivering in my shoes"

Bellany pushed the cart away, "you better be!" She laughed, "Bye Danny" The man waved goodbye to her.

After putting all her groceries in the trunk she drove back home to her small but cozy apartment. She took a glance at the clock, she spent an hour and a half at the store, and she should have about an hour to study before she goes to bed.
