Stumbled Upon Love

Emily's Point of Veiw.

I glance up at the clock for the hundreth time in the past 15 minutes, 6:55pm.

'Sweet! Five minutes till I can finally leave to my lonesome boring life.' I pick up the pace in my writing not caring how much messier it just became.

'Finally after long hours sitting in this office chair I finally get to go home! Even if it is home to no one else other than Sergio my black cat. I mean he's good company an all...its just not the same as another person I guess?' I grab the finished files and stack them to the side and open the second to last unfinished file.

'Then again it could be worse (or better...depending on how you look at it) ...I could be stuck here longer or be called on a case and have to hold back all the feelings I feel when-ever he walks in the room. I could have to spend more mindless hours holding back the urge to jumping him whenever he speaks, or looks at me the way he does with his awkward smile and his dorky glasses. God those glasses, all I can say is he makes me all hot and bothered (in the good way of course) and I don't know why? '

I look back to the clock, 6:56pm.

'Are you freaking kidding me? Could time go any slower? I am seriously going to flip! With the end resualts of furniture being broken, or someone being badly hurt, injured or worse...then I will lose my job!'

I pull my hair back in a pony tail and glance at the clock, 6:57pm

'It's not much but I'll take it.'

I continue to gather my things, filling out the last bits of my reports before I bring them to Hotch to sign, when I see him come out of the break room.

'Oh god there he is. I don't care what anyone says, those sweater vests are sexy. Just plain out makes me wan-...Holy man he's walking over here!

What am I thinking?

GET A HOLD OF YOUR SELF EMILY? You're beginning to sound like a crazy teenager! You have talked to him many of times before, this will probably be nothing other than that. Then again he may not even be coming to talk to you, maybe he is going to his own desk since it is right next you yours?'

I take a deep breath and smile at him, I see he smiles back and continues walking in my direction.
'Or maybe he is coming over to talk to me...'

I stand up to see him only a couple feet away. I smile again and feel my face get a tad warmer.

'Am I really blushing? I know I find him very attractive, and everything, but not enough to make me giddy as a girl with their first crush? Right?'

"Hi Emily" He says to me while smiling his adorable 'Spencer' smile.

"Hi Spen-" 'OOHF'

Now im on the floor.

With a hot sting on my legs, and extra weight on my body, What the hell just happened?

'Okay let's play this back...I see him, he sees me, I smile, he smiles, I stand, he walks over, he says hi, I say hi, then he trips...of course!'

I open my eyes to see a coffee mug on the ground and a Spencer reid laying on top of me.

I move to sit up and feel him doing the same. He stands up and reaches out to grabs my hand.

Besides the hot stinging on my legs, I feel my whole body go numb and tingly just at the short amount of contact between us. Once I'm back on my feet I bend to whipe down my legs and instintly smell coffee.

"Im so sorry Emily!" I hear him say.

I look up to meet his guilt written face. I smile to reassure him it's all right. "Don't worry about it, it was only an accident!" I say and see the tensed and guilty look on his face someone vanish.

"I'm fine! It's not like you shot me or anything." I see him wince then smile at me again. "Here, let's go to the break room and dry you off. Again I'm so sorry!"

I feel his long fingers wrap gently around my arm and guides me to the break room.

"Dont worry about it like I said I'm fine!" I respond with a slight laugh along with it.

I could feel him looking at me but I don't dare look up. 'Well isn't this a turn of events.'

Once we reach the break room he hands me a wet and dry cloth, I take them and begin to whipe down my legs. I finished to clean as much as I could.

I looked back up to see him still standing there, his hand is rubbing the back of his neck and he is slowely rocking back and forth. His facial expression is no more of guilt and worry, but now almost as if he is about to bungie jump off the leaning tower of Piza.

"Hey, you okay?" I ask him while passing the clothes to him.

He puts them on the counter top then took a step towards me.

'Holy man, he's never been this close...just keep it cool Emily, take a deep breath and DON'T FREAK OUT' I tell myself in my mind while smiling up at him with curiosity of what he is up to.

Now only a foot away, he smiles back at me, slightly looking down to meet me eyes.

'Okay, Im completely lost...not only in your eyes but in the situation...' I blink twice to make sure I'm not day dreaming again...'nope not day dreaming...it looks as if this is really happening.'

Then he speaks.

"Uhm, Emily, okay this will be the last time I say this I promise! I'm so sorry for being a cluts tripping over my own feet and spilling hot coffee on you. You see I was actually coming over to ask you something..."

'Just keep breathing, Just keep breathing, what do we do? we breath, breath breath!' I take a silent deep breath.

'I wonder what he wants to ask. I mean there are a million things he can ask me...

"Hey emily, I was wondering if you knew what time the football game is on tonight?"

Ha! that'll be the day, when Dr. Spencer Reid asks about sports...maybe it's,

"Uhm, Emily I was wondering if you could refill my coffe cup for me, Hotch wants to speak to me and I could really use a cup!"

Defiently not...considering his cup was full and now on my pants and the floor by me desk.

Now I have the faintest idea what he could ask me? Unless...

"Hey Emily, I was uhm..I was wondering if you had plans tonight? No? great! oh, why? right, Would you like to go out to dinner with me?"

HA! yeah right! Who are you trying to kid here? No way would he be coming over to ask you out! he isnt the type of guy to do that...'

"I was wondering If you would like to go to dinner with me after work?"

'Then again maybe not.'
