Dibs
Chapter 1 Meeting Alora
Penelope's Favorite Bar in Quantico
Penelope convinced the BAU team to attend a show at one of her favorite bars. Her friend was performing after moving to the D.C. area and it was the first time she'd see her in almost twenty years. They'd both been goths at the time and she was sure Alora would be surprised at Penelope's "new look." She was looking forward to hearing some familiar songs since she was focusing on popular cover songs tonight.
They entered the bar and Penelope asked the bouncer where the reserved table for Garcia was. He motioned towards a table just off to the right of the front of the stage with a small placard in the center. They made their way to their seats to set their jackets on the back of their seats before making it over to the bar to order. The place wasn't first class, but it was comfortable. Spencer waited for the line to shorten before ordering a soda.
"You and I will probably be the only ones that are sober by the end of the night," a cheerful feminine voice said from behind him.
He turned to see a woman with golden blonde hair pulling back into two his ponytails that came from the back of her head. She had plum colored lipstick on her smiling lips. Spencer gulped as his eyes widened. She was as tall as him with her 3 inch heels on. Spencer tried not to stare at the tight dark green tank top she wore above dark blue, torn, denim shorts that stopped 4 inches above her knees.
"I don't really drink," he mumbled as he gripped his messenger bag strap.
She leaned forward and looked to each side before looking back at him and whispering, "I don't drink at all so your secret is safe with me."
He smiled softly before blushing at her closeness.
"Well it's nice to meet someone with similar tastes," she winked at him before offering him her hand to shake.
He fiddled with the bag strap some more, "Did you know with the percentage of people who don't wash their hands it's actually safer to kiss than to shake hands?"
She lowered her hand and smirked widely. She leaned forward and kissed him on his right cheek before leaning back to see the perplexed look on his face.
"I take it that pickup line doesn't usually work?" She asked tilting her head.
"It's a true statistic. I can site the source if you'd like," he said looking at his shoes.
Her smirk turned into a gentle smile as she paused a moment in thought. She took a small card out of her back pocket and tucked it in his sweater vest pocket.
"I'd be interested in that source," she said before turning back into the crowd as the owner of the bar tapped the microphone to get everyone's attention.
Spencer tilted his head and frowned in confusion. After all, that statistic had never gotten him THAT response. He grabbed his unopened soda and made his way back to the table. Derek was the first to notice Spencer was focusing on a small business card and texting the number the name and date of some newspaper article. He shook his head before looking closer at his cheek.
"Where did you disappear to?" he asked.
Spencer looked at him confused as the whole group looked at him and saw purple lips on his right cheek, "What? All I did was go to the bar to get a soda."
Derek smirked as Dave smiled and leaned forward with a glimmer in his eye, "And who caught our genius's eye enough to get a kiss?"
Spencer's eyes widened a bit as he reached for his cheek and blushed a bit, "It wasn't like that at all."
"So what was it like?" Derek asked wiggling his eyebrows.
Spencer explained what happened as the crowd started to quiet and the band took the stage. Soon all of them were smiling.
"Reid she was flirting with you," J.J. said, "Not only did you get a kiss, but her number as well."
"I don't think she was flirting with me," he mumbled unsure, "Was she?"
The singer came on stage just as the drums started a rhythm. Spencer looked up and grinned to see the woman from before at the microphone.
"That's her," Spencer said quietly.
"Alora gave you her number?" Penelope asked surprised, "Reid she was SO flirting with you. She doesn't give her number to anyone."
Spencer smiled softly as he looked back up to Alora. She grinned widely when she found Spencer at her friend's table.
"Hope everyone is ready to have fun tonight! I've had a few awesome requests for tonight and apparently a group in the back corner has seen some YouTube videos of me and are fans. Thanks for coming!" she said as she waved to the back table.
"Let's not forget my friend Penelope down here in front. If it wasn't for her boisterous support I would not be standing before you now."
Lots of clapping and hollering was heard as Penelope stood and bowed slightly with a smirk and sitting down again bumping into Aaron slightly. Alora motioned to the drummer who started a beat on the drum as she stomped one foot in sync and held the microphone with both hands. She started singing Set It All Free by Scarlett Johansson from her current favorite movie SING.
Spencer couldn't take his eyes off her as she tapped the beat and swung her hips lightly.
As the music died down, the clapping and cheering roared through the full bar. Alora winked at Spencer and Derek nudged him in the ribs gently as he clapped.
"Your girl got talent," Derek said before whistling loudly.
"Yes she does," Penelope said proudly as she batted her lashes at Spencer, "Tho the rate she's making eyes at Boy Wonder here she might just be his girl soon."
A few chuckles went around the table as Spencer shook his head at their antics. Even Aaron had cracked a smile. A new beat started, quieting the bar again.
Alora started singing XO by Kelsea Ballerini as she stomped around the stage in beat with the music.
Once again the cheering and clapping made the place unbearably loud for a few moments as Alora smiled and nodded to the table in the back. The BAU team assumed one of the girls at the table had requested the song as they were standing around it and looked like they had been dancing. They looked back to the stage to see Alora smirk as she looked at Penelope. She started singing Bulletproof by La Roux.
Penelope grinned widely as one of her favorite songs finished before Alora talked quickly with the band to agree on the next few songs. She turned back around and let one hand drop from the microphone as she thumped the cymbal's beat on her thigh.
Criminal by Fiona Apple was soon being sung in a husky voice as Alora strutted a bit. When the song finished she turned back to the table where the BAU team sat. She grinned as the music started and she tilted her head at Spencer. She started singing Dibs by Kelsea Ballerini. She motioned her arm as she sang. As she got to the chorus she smirked at him.
If you got a kiss on your lips that you're looking for somebody to take (hey)
She put her hand on her heart.
If you got a heart that ain't afraid of love ain't afraid to break (hey)
If you've got a Friday night free and a shotgun seat
Well I'm just saying, I ain't got nowhere to be
So baby I'll take whatever it is you've got to give
Yeah
I'm calling dibs
She didn't take her eyes off Spencer as she continued to sing. Soon she tapped her cheek and smirked at Spencer who blushed at the next line.
And get my lipstick on your right cheek
'Cause boy I've got to mark it
Oooh
So they can all back off
Yeah
'Cause I know what I want
She started waving her free hand with the music by her side. She closed her eyes for a moment as her voice got louder and more intense.
I'm calling dibs on your lips, on your kiss on your time, boy
I'm just trynna make you mine, boy
Ooooh
Dibs She sang out as her eyes popped open and she pointed towards Spencer making Derek slap him on the back and Rossi toss his head back in a full belly laugh.
"Still think she wasn't flirting?" Penelope said smiling so wide it was starting to make her look a little creepy.
Spencer rolled his eyes and looked back up to Alora. She sang for another two and a half hours before the next band was introduced and she was done for the night. She grabbed a lemonade from the bar and made her way to their table. She was stopped a few times by fans new and old, but the smile never left her face. When she finally reached their table, she plopped down into the only spot she deemed available… Spencer's lap. His eyes bugged out as his hands went to her hips to help her get comfortable. He spread his legs enough for her to sit on the chair with him behind her. She grinned sheepishly up at him.
"Please tell me you're single and I didn't just make a fool of myself," she whispered.
Derek overheard and cracked a large toothy grin.
"No," Spencer said smiling softly, "I'm not in a romantic relationship with anyone."
Alora smiled widely as she leaned her head back on his shoulder and Spencer tentatively wrapped his arms around her. Derek chuckled as Penelope awed.
"Oh and for the record I am one of the 67% of those who DO wash their hands," Alora said as she watched the next singer.
"You read the article already?" Spencer asked.
"I can read 12,000 words a minute," she mumbled.
"Really?" Rossi asked, "Boy Wonder here can read 20,000."
"Boy Wonder?" Alora asked.
"He's our resident genius," J.J. said proudly as she nodded towards Spencer.
"Sooo you won't get annoyed when I spout out random facts like how a dollar can be split 293 different ways or that banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories?" she asked.
They all stopped for a moment and looked at each other.
"Another Reid," Derek said chuckling.
Author's Note:
Dibs is by Kelsea Ballerini. I only used the lyrics that were crucial to the way this story is supposed to lead. This is not a songfic and I probably won't have her covering any more artists. I give credit where credit is due. I have to write a few songs of my own for what I want her to sing later on.
I posted this as a oneshot with the full lyrics of all the songs before someone reported me. I was unaware of the rule about lyrics. I hope everyone understands the few I have here make the title and story for this couple. I pulled the oneshot and rewrote this for repost since many peeps reviewed saying they wanted more than a oneshot. So feel free to follow, I'm not sure how long it will take to update as I hadn't originally planned on making this a full out story but I have so many ideas now with those reviews! So, wish me luck and have fun peeps!
