1 week later
Spencer Reid walked into the BAU ready to work. But he was still distracted by the thought of the woman he had met a week before.
"So, did you hear we have a new colleague today Boy Genius?" Garcia asked him.
"No I didn't."
He thought about it as he walked over to his board. He decided to do some math to clear his head. He had always found it meditating.
As he began his calculations he found a problem. He couldn't figure out what he's done wrong. He was so wrapped up in his equation that he didn't notice the new agent until he heard her name.
"It's nice to meet you Tessa!" Morgan's voice floated behind him.
Wait! Spencer thought, Tessa?
He looked over and there she was, the woman that hadn't left his thought in days.
"Tessa?" he asked quietly.
She turned and looked at him.
"Spencer? Hi! I told you I would see you around!" she smiled.
"Wait you two know each other?" asked Morgan.
"Yeah we met in a bookstore last week. Agent Reid over here as good taste in books." Tessa said.
Spencer blushed and Morgan raised an eyebrow. "Where are you staying by the way?" Morgan asked.
"Um, 'Meridian Bay Apartment Complex' I think." She replied.
"No way!" Reid exclaimed, "That's right across the street from my apartment complex! Maybe we should carpool!"
Morgan rolled his eyes but Tessa smiled. "I'd like that." She said.
Spencer and Tessa smiled at each other.
"So what were you doing over here?" she asked looking at the board Reid had just been doing his math on.
"Oh just trying to solve equations. It helps me relieve stress you know?"
At this Morgan cracked up. But Tessa just smiled and said, "No I get it! But you seem to be stuck there. Do you need some help?"
"No I should be fine-" but Spencer stopped when she walked over and started writing on his board. He and Morgan watched in aw at the number she was writing.
"There. Is that better?" she asked while smiling, clearly proud of herself.
Spencer gaped as he realized that she had just fixed his problem. "How did you do that?"
Tessa realized that Spencer and Morgan were both staring at her and looked down and blushed. "What? I majored in math in collegeā¦"
"Watch your back Pretty Boy." Morgan said.
Spencer ignored him. "That was amazing Tess!"
"Tess?" she asked.
"Sorry" Spencer said, scratching the back of his neck, "I-"
"No, no. I like it" she smiled again.
