My name is Lauren Colt and I'm in love with a genius.

Love. A word no one can really define accurately. A complicated feeling. I used to hate love for some uncertain reason but I've realized why that was wrong, in 1 John 4:8 of the Holy Bible, it said: 'whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.' I stuck to this quote from then on.

Flashback

" Honey, be careful alright?" my mom said when they dropped me off at the airport.

" Of-course," I replied with a comforting smile, " I love you mom. Call me anytime,"

" I will baby, I love you." we hugged each other a bit then my brother came with my nephew, Matthew."

" Toots, take care and be safe. Love you." he said giving me a hug with little Matthew on his other arm.

" I will," I said when he let go of me. I gave Matty a kiss and hugged my mom one more time before I started to walk to my gate. " Bye Guys!" I said when I looked back. They smiled and waved too.

I checked my ticket only to find out that I still have at least 10 minutes before my flight leaves to Quantico, Virgina. I found my gate and sat my self down by the waiting area. I looked around and noticed a very colorful blonde lady sitting right across me. She was wearing an apple green cardigan on top of her magenta colored dress. It actually goes together pretty well. She had her laptop on and was furiously typing, her glasses reflect the blue screen that she was on. She probably noticed my staring so she stopped for a minute and looked up. I actually thought she was going to be mean and snobby about it but instead she smiled at me. Obviously, I smiled back.

" Sorry about that, I just find your outfit really cute." I said truthfully.

" Oh, thank you sweetheart and don't apologize." she said still smiling, strangely this woman just gives off warmness when you talk to her. I was going to say something back when the stewardess announced that the gates were now open and that we were allowed to board. That was how I first met Penelope Garcia.

End of Flashback

Penelope and I ended up sitting beside each other on the plane. That's when we talked and found out that we grew up in the same city. We got to know each other pretty well that by the end of the flight, we were best friends. We exchanged numbers when we got to the Quantico Airport and gave each other hugs before we parted.

It funny how God plans out things, friendships that we're literally out of the blue but I thank him for everything anyway. If he didn't plan for me to meet Penelope, I would have not been able to meet Spencer.

hey guys, thanks for reading. i'm still an amateur writer but I love Criminal Minds and Spencer Reid and since they don't really put emphasis on his lovelife on the show, i'll do my version of it here. i obviously don't own the original characters or the show itself but i do own the other characters. Please review if you like reading this and want more because i'd love to write again. more power to all of you and God Bless! (:
