Well, Well. A two shot for you :)
Peace and Love
!Hattress!
It started out with a smile over a book, isn't how these things always start? Spencer Reid was just looking for some thing to read, or many things to read in his case. Pay day was a great feeling for anyone who had a job, and on this pay day after paying his rent he found himself in this little book store, where he would see the smile over a book, and it was a very pretty smile.
He would remember her name because it was the same name of those famous bracelets that girls wore now a days. Her eyes were slanted ever so slightly, hazel colored, and her hair was pulled to the side into a long strawberry blond braid that hung right on her chest with small waves coming out from the sides. Her skin was light, with freckles on the bridge of her nose.
Spencer grabbed a couple of new books from the shelf when he saw the smile. It was a small one, but it caught his attention right away with slightly crooked teeth and a nose that looked like it was broken and not set right. She wasn't paying attention to him as he continued to look at the smile. Her nose was in the book, her one hand wrapped around a cup of tea.
Finally his eyes glanced at the cover of her book and was really not surprised when she saw the author Sylvia Plath along with "The Bell Jar". He could take a guess she was into women writers.
"Good book." he heard himself say. It was like the words slipped out from his mind and into his mouth.
The girl looked up and nodded to him,
"One of my favorites. I read it over a dozen times yet I love it every time more and more, something about crazy people that I tend to enjoy" she chuckled, "What do you have there?"
Spencer was caught off guard by the question and chuckled nervously rocking on the balls of his feet. For some reason he found himself holding onto a Harry Potter book along with other young adult novels. These books were just crazy easy reads when he wanted nothing serious and cheesy.
"Good series, I'm a Hufflepuff." she couldn't help but to feel and look embarrassed for saying that.
"I don't know which house I would be in yet." Spencer laughed a bit scratching the back on his head.
The Doctor walked over to the table she sat at and she motioned for him to sit. It was nice to have company with people other than those he worked with. Not that he minded when he would go out with Emily to the movies, but this was a different feeling.
"I'm Ani by the way." she said
"Spencer."
It was something that shot through her when he said his name. For some reason it was familiar, but Ani put the thoughts all way back into her mind. The two sat there talking about books and other things. He noticed her smile a lot more now that he was closer and how pretty it really was. He was right when he thought that she liked woman writers. She was taking a class on it in a local college and this was one of the books she had to read which she was happy to do. His job never came up or what he did, but he did speak about his degrees and that he had his PHD. Spencer felt content, he was happy that for once his work wasn't brought up.
"Do you want to go grab a drink somewhere? I mean I don't know much around here and it would be nice to get a drink with a fellow book lover." Ani spoke.
Spencer noticed the sun was starting to set, and it was a Thursday night, and work wasn't till a bit later the next day. He didn't really know any bars around here except for the two that he went to on trivia nights and sometimes with the crew. Ani was very nice and she had a head on her shoulders from what he could tell.
The pair left the little store and started to walk to their next destination. Once there they settled at the bar they spoke some more. Spencer wasn't one to drink since he hated the taste of it, but Ani kept buying beer after beer for them both, and it would have been rude to decline. It also wasn't bad when guy would look over to see a pretty girl with him.
Spencer could see his companion was getting drunk, from her red face and slightly glazed over eyes. Ani smiled really wide this time and looked over her shoulder to see a dart board.
"Me, you let's go. I bet you another drink that you can't beat me."
"Sure, this isn't chess so you might have a chance."
Ani held out her hand for him to grab which she used to steady herself while she walked to the board. She gave them both the darts and as they played it seemed that he was beating her,
"I thought you said I had a chance!" she nudged him,
"I mean you could have had a chance, but you keep throwing it outside of the board. I thought you were good at this." Spencer couldn't help but to laugh. This was nice, and this was what he was only going to remember about the girl with the smile over the book.
Later on in the night Spencer walked Ani out to call for car service. It was a good thing he didn't bring his car out, because he didn't think he would remember where he put it after what they drank. Ani grabbed onto his arm and leaned. Spencer didn't think his face could become more red.
The girl whose smile got him into this mess called for the car they shared. When they got in, Ani leaned on Spencer's shoulder, her eyes watching his hands as they were placed palms down on his knee. Slowly she reached over and laced her fingers with his and smiled to herself in the dark car.
Spencer didn't know what to do. His own fingers held onto hers, Ani's body leaned on his. He was a bit drunk, and for once he let that be the excuse for his actions for whatever was going to happen next.
"Spencer?" Ani finally spoke,
"Mhm?"
"Kiss me." it was a simple request.
"W-what?"
"Kiss me...I want you to kiss me." she asked again with a small playful laugh, "You know what, I'll do it."
Before Spencer could react, Ani slowly kissed the base of his neck, and kept going till she reached his lips. Ani was soft and tasted like beer, but he didn't even mind. Spencer closed his eyes and moved so he could grab her face into his hands.
"So I guess the question is, my place or yours." there was that damn smile, her eyes glowing in the dark.
"Um..." Spencer didn't know what to say, but his body was telling him to just shut up and kiss the girl, which he did taking her by surprise.
"I think my place is closer." she muttered and pressed her lips back onto his.
