Hey guys. Writing this story along side with the High school alternate story. Again not following the story completely. And I know I know. ANOTHER Reid and Prentiss story. Don't worry eventually I'll start writing other things. It's just, I personally ship them so I write about them. Thanks for reading. Hope you guys enjoy.

All she wanted to do was sleep. That was the only goal she had in mind and then Garcia popped up on their screen.

"This better be important Garcia" she groaned as she looked toward the bubbly face.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that a messenger came by the office today with some papers from Escrow." She was surprised and happy for a moment.

"No"

"Oh yes, the house in Dupont Circle. You got it!" Garcia squealed.

"Congratulations."

"Six seconds. Fastest case of buyer's remorse ever." It was true. Emily didn't know why she had even placed a bid on the house. She shouldn't have won. The house was huge! How was one person suppose to live in that thing? With no one else around to help.

"Well, I say the moment we land we all head over to Ziggy's and clear out the champagne inventory."

"Oh, my stomach doesn't feel so hot." She ran to the jet bathroom and stood over the sink washing her face.. When she returned the team was back to their normal activities. She walked past the team over to Reid as he played a game of chess by himself. "How's the game going?"

"It's interesting to play by yourself." He responded not looking up from his game still deep in thought.

"Oh, well you want someone to play with?" She asked hoping to just get some time to talk to Reid.

"We haven't played since the first time we met. 1,823 days, 14 hours, 23 minutes, 22 seconds ago. Well 23 now. and now 25…" She laughed at his attempt to keep the precise time. She was still amazed at how he could remember every little detail. And she felt special knowing that he had remembered their one and only day that they had played.

"I get it Reid." He finally looked up from his game and then gave her a look offering for her to sit down across from him.

"You know… The last time we played, if I remember correctly, I beat you pretty easily." He said jokingly as he moved his pawn forward.

"I've gotten better." She laughed as she moved her knight.

"I bet I can still beat you in under 5 minutes." He stated moving another pawn.

"Don't get cocky now. Especially when you're making small moves." She replied as she moved her other knight. Despite her best attempt her game of chess with Reid did end in less than 5 minutes. "Ok that's not fair. How? You had to of cheated." Reid looked up at her shocked.

"I don't cheat!" Emily was taken aback. She didn't mean to offend him.

"I was joking Reid." She saw his face become more relaxed. "Is there a story to the outburst?"

"Not one to share." He said as he stuck his tongue out like a 5 year old teasing. She laughed at his behaviour and relaxed back down into her seat. Trying to make small talk she asked him some questions. Eventually it led to her decision to buy the house.

"Do you think I made the right decision buying the house?"

"It isn't important what I think. It's your decision and your life."

"Reid sometimes you just have to voice your opinion. Just because it isn't your life doesn't mean you can't influence that person."

"I'm sorry. I just don't have an opinion. Why are you so worried about it?"

"I don't know. It's just so big you know. And I'm suppose to be living by myself in a gigantic house without anybody else." She voiced her concerns to Reid who sat and listened intently. How she wished she could just meet a man like him. She would've gone for him if she thought he had any interest in her.

"Well, if you want I can stay over there until you kinda get settled in. If you want of course." He said in a hopeful voice. Her heart fluttered. Was he being serious? This had to be because he thought of her as a friend and he wanted to downsize her worries. What she had replied with made her regret replying.

"Wha.. Wha… What?" She stuttered. Reid looked defeated.

"I shouldn't have asked. It was a bad idea." Reid slumped back down into his chair and she wanted to run over and give him a huge hug.

'No Reid! It's a wonderful idea!" She said a bit too loudly as the team looked over to them. Morgan was the one to ask the question everybody had.

"What's a good idea Prentiss?" She felt her cheeks heat up as the attention moved to her.

"Nothing." She replied.

"Doesn't sound like nothing princess. Spill."

"What are you? Garcia?" She retorted making Reid laugh.

"Alright, fine. Whatever. You and Mr. Giggles over there have your little idea. We'll find out soon enough." Morgan said as he turned back around and sat comfortably in his chair. The rest of the team also slowly went back to what they were doing. Reid and Emily leaned in whispering to one another. They knew the team would be trying to listen in on them.

"Are you sure? I mean if you're not comfortable with it you don't have to pity me."

"No! Really, it's ok. It'll be really nice and helpful. Thank you Reid." With that they both sat back in their seats and waited for the plane to return home. Emily awoke to Spencer shaking her awake.

"Hey, hey Emily. We landed, come on." He said as she sat up in her seat. Reid started to walk towards the exit as she grabbed her bag and followed him. They took separate cars back to the office. Once they arrived and gathered their stuff the team met at the elevators.

"We'll drop by your apartment tomorrow and help you pack up all your stuff. With all of us working together we should be able to move you to your new place within a few days." Hotch said as he looked around the circle that was made up by his team.

"That sounds great. Thank you guys. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it."

"No problem! Ohhh this is going to be so exciting! Sleepovers with girl's night! I can't wait!" Garcia squealed making the rest of the team laugh. They had no idea how much Emily couldn't wait either. When all was packed and moved she would be "living" in the same house with Reid. Meaning they would be able to spend more time together. Emily no longer thought of this as a bad decision. No, buying the house was one of the best decisions that she had ever made.

Thanks for reading guys and make sure a drop a review please! Encourages me to write more.
