A/N: This is a quick little two shot that I came up with over the weekend. I'm still working on my longer fic Boomerang. I hate people who whine for reviews but I've only gotten one on Boomerang so I may discontinue it if people aren't interested. I'll post the second half of this in a few days. Thanks!

It was late on a Friday afternoon. The team had arrived home several hours earlier from a two day trip working a case in Burlington, VT. They had spent the remainder of the afternoon working on the always too high stack of paperwork and case files. Rossi was alone in his office when he suddenly saw Reid standing in the doorway.

Rossi turned his head to acknowledge that he was aware of Reid's presence. "May I…I ask you something?" Reid stuttered nervously.

"Yea" Rossi answered returning his gaze to the paperwork on his desk.

Reid closed the door to Rossi's office causing Rossi to once again look at Reid when he heard the door latch. "What's going on?" Rossi asked now intrigued.

"I..I don't w..want the…e others to know but w…would it be ok if I brought someone to t…tomorrow night's cooking lesson?" Reid asked as he twisted his hands slightly and began to blush.

"You want to bring someone?" Rossi asked slowly.

"Yea w…we thought a…at your house would well, it would be more private and I…I'm just really nervous and I don't know how everyone is going to react and I just thought it's private there and just us but I don't want the others to know because she wants to see the reactions but I didn't want to just bring her without asking and w…would it be ok? She's going to bake bread. I told her you said no one needs to bring anything but she really wants to but if you want me to tell her no." Reid stammered.

"No bread is ok. So you're seeing someone?" Rossi asked.

"See I knew there would be questions, we're profilers. But she doesn't want everyone to know but I told her you could, would probably keep the secret for 26 hours and she doesn't want to be rude and just show up. Ok I'll tell you but please don't tell the others. Do you remember when we had that case t… the vampirist murders with Detective Kim in Los Angeles and on the plane there JJ asked about Lila and I kinda deflected? Well i…it's her." Reid explained.

"I asked JJ about that case. She showed me the case file - the actress Lila Archer. JJ told me there was an attraction between you and Lila. She's gorgeous but that was six years ago." Rossi said slightly confused.

"Yea t…that's why I'm concerned that everyone is going to be upset with me." Reid explained.

"Have you been seeing her the whole time?" Rossi inquired.

"No well yea well sort of. It's complicated. W…we've been together s…she spends a week here every month with me but w…we're not dating well n…not anymore." Reid stammered.

"Well then what?" Rossi asked feeling like he was trying to pull teeth.

"Oh God, she is going to kill me. I'll be sleeping on the sofa for a month. Please, please, please don't tell the others. She really wants us to tell them together. O…ok well we dated for about a year then several weeks after the Tobias Henkle case we got engaged and w…we've b…been married for almost five years." Reid stated.

"Spencer that's wonderful." Rossi enthused as he walked to Reid and gave him a big hug and kisses on both cheeks. "but I don't understand the timing." Rossi continued.

"Her show i…it wasn't renewed. They wrapped the last episode about two weeks ago and she flew here on Wednesday. Only this time she's not going back. She'll be here with me permanently." Reid enthused with a huge smile on his face.

"I understand sort of but why didn't you tell us." Rossi asked.

"I thought I'd let her explain that part. She'll do it better than I can. So it's ok if I bring her and y…you won't tell the others and she'll bake bread." Reid stammered.

"I won't tell the others. Tell her I'm looking forward to meeting her and I think she's very kind to bake bread. I know how time consuming baking bread is." Rossi said.

"Thanks" Reid said before he turned towards the door.

"Oh and Reid, why don't you plan to arrive about 7:15pm so you're the last ones in the door." Rossi suggested as Reid turned back to look at him again.

"Oh yea, great idea. Thanks." Reid said before he almost walked into the closed office door. He quickly recovered and exited the room after giving Rossi a wave.

Rossi looked at his watch. It was just before 5pm. He knew he wouldn't be able to concentrate on his work now. Besides he had a lot to do before the team's quarterly cooking lesson at his mansion the next evening. Rossi let his mind wander as he began cleaning up his desk and getting ready to go home. It was certainly going to be an intriguing evening. Although he would never admit it to Reid, he had occasionally watched Lila's show. He had first discovered it out of curiosity after reading the case file. The plotlines of the show were weak. The show clearly wasn't geared toward men his age but David Rossi considered himself a connoisseur. He appreciated the beauty of Lila and her castmates. There were worse ways to spend an evening alone at his mansion than enjoying a snifter of cognac while admiring a bevy of beautiful young bikini clad women. He couldn't help wondering however about Reid's attraction to the young woman with the body worthy of a sports illustrated swimsuit edition cover. Yes Reid was a man but if Rossi had to profile a partner for Reid, he would never have guessed that Lila Archer would be the one or at least the first one to become Mrs. Spencer Reid. While Morgan was convinced Reid knew nothing about sexuality Rossi did not agree. Reid was certainly well read about both normal and abnormal sexual practices and he had seen numerous naked females although most of them were dead. But Rossi always thought Reid would first be attracted to a female because of her intellect and the physical would be secondary.

Rossi steeled himself as he turned out the light to his office. He knew he could cover if necessary but hoped he wouldn't need to answer any questions from the other members of the team. Unfortunately he saw a confused looking Morgan who immediately asked. "What's up with Reid?"

"He is bringing bread, tomorrow night." Rossi said as he walked passed Morgan.

"And it took him 15 minutes to tell you that?" Morgan asked.

With his back to Morgan and a smirk on his face, Rossi replied "You know how he gets."

"I suppose, ok have a good night. I'll see you tomorrow." Morgan replied as Rossi rounded the corner.
