Who Knew, Huh?

Hope Chapter one (1) was a good start. Now here's chapter two (2)! :D

Chapter two (2): Plain Sight

Reid woke up knowing that today was going to be an interesting and possibly a uneventful day at the bureau. Today he was 24 years of age and he hoped that no one remembered, but knowing Garcia... they probably all knew now and were going to make a big deal out of it. He was somewhat annoyed, yet happy at the same time. It was rare that people even bothered about his birthday, so to him this was a first and hope that it would be a good day.

He took a quick shower, grabbed his phone, messenger bag and everything else he needed for work, when the vibration of his phone got his attention and assumed that it was JJ texting him about a case.

~Happy Birthday Reid. Have a nice 24th birthday and hope that we're still on for tonight. EP~

Reid smiled at her text. She had actually remembered.

~As far as I know, we're still on for tonight... do we have to? SR~

Spencer then walked out, locked his apartment door and was now walking to the subway station. It had turned out that Emily was slowly moving to DC. She had told him that she's a FBI in Chicago and was trying to start a new chapter of her life by moving to DC and get a better job at Quantico. Of course he didn't tell her what he did, but mentioned to her that it was where he worked and that she would love it there and wished her good luck at getting a job there.

~YES! You only turn 24 once and plus i'm about to drive out here so that we can celebrate, but I can only stay for a couple of days. And you can ask that Media Liaison that you have a crush on out ;) EP~

~:P No. SR~

~Nice comeback... not! Lol Reid, she still calls you Spence right? EP~

~Yeah, she does. SR~

~Then at least ask her out. U owe it to yourself 2 find out if she's the one or not. I have to go, 'cause i'm driving and I'm turning off my phone. See ya soon! :) EP~

Reid finally reached the subway station, walked down the stairs and patiently waited for the train to arrive.

After getting the call about the case, Reid knew that he probably wouldn't make it for his and Emily's plans. It wasn't a waste of Emily's time because of the fact that she was bringing more boxes from Chicago. It was a over 12 hour drive and it she would come every month or so to bring some boxes and hang out with him. But right now he had to text her and tell her about the change of plans and the possibility that he wasn't going to make it back in time as she would leave to Chicago again.

~Emily, bad news, we've got a case and I have no idea when we'll comeback. Sorry about the change of plans. SR~

He then shut off his phone and got into the car that would take them to the airstrip, where the Jet is waiting for them.

After the somewhat short ride and getting on the Jet, Reid sat in his usual seat and soon the rest of the team chose their spots and waited for lift off. But that didn't stop Morgan and Elle, who had been part of the team for the last little while, from questioning him.

"Hey kid, you want new thumbs for your birthday?"

"What? Why would I need or even ask for new thumbs?" the genius asked, while looking utterly confused.

"Because of all the texting you've been doing Chico" she answered with a light chuckle, "Who is she?"

"A friend..."

"Ah no, that's not good enough man!", then the light bulb went off in his head, "No way... You stud!"

"What?" both Reid and Elle asked at the same time.

"It's that girl from the subway, isn't it!" when the younger agent attempted to changed the subject Elle stopped him from talking by putting her hand onto his mouth, "Again... you stud!"

"Morgan, she's like ten years older than me, lives too far, obviously a workaholic, and we barely know each other and..."

"She's not JJ... Reid man, you're going to have to ask her out soon" Derek said, in a serious tone.

"That's what she told me this morning..." he muttered.

"Did she wish you happy birthday?"

"First thing written in the text this morning" Reid answered.

"Anything kinky?" the older agent asked, making Elle laugh before Reid stood up and sat away from them.

After finally arriving to her DC condo, Emily settled down a fairly heavy box onto the floor near the kitchen before walking back to close and lock her door. She then turned on her phone and soon saw and read Reid's text message and replied.

~It's okay. Just give me a heads up if you're not going to make it on my last night which is three days from now EP~

She then settled her phone on the island, while she poured herself and nice ice cold drink and sat on the new couch that she had bought the last time she was in town. Just when she felt herself drifting off to sleep, she heard her phone ringing, indicating that she had received a text message.

~Alright I will. Oh and I messed up with JJ. I think she thinks i'm a freak now SR~

~What makes you think that? What happened? EP~

~Well our UNSUB left a message from a play called Class and I found it fascinating, while she used the term creepy. SR~

~Oh I love that play! Don't worry about it, just tell her that you were talking about the play, which I'm pretty sure that's what you meant right? EP~

~No, I wasn't. SR~

~Um, alright then... ur on ur own now lol! EP~

~Not funny Emily :( SR~

~Reid, it's okay. I was just messin' with ya. Just focus on ur job and when u head back u explain to her and at the same time mention a date. EP~

~I'll talk to her after the case, but no mentions about dating. SR~

~Party pooper lol. Get back to whatever you do Dr. Reid ;) EP~

~See you Emily. SR~

"Im heading home. I'll see you later tonight Spence?"

"Yeah, I'll pick you up in about four hours"

"Okay, see you then" she said as she walked out the bullpen.

Reid immediately dialled a familiar number and waited for the caller to answer.

"Prentiss"

"Hey, it's me"

"Hey, me!" she teased him, which he didn't follow.

"No, me as in Spencer Reid"

"I know it was you Spencer. Why the talking and not texting?"

"I uh need some dating tips"

"Oh... wow, you finally asked her out?"

"Yeah I did, and she said yes"

"Told you she couldn't resist the sweaters"

"I think it's the fact that I got VIP box seat for a Redskins game tonight"

"Wow, then yeah. Who would turn down VIP seats? So tonight's out of question I guess"

"Oh god... I totally forgot..."

"Now there's something I never thought I hear coming out of your mouth" she chuckled lightly, causing him to blush.

"I'm so sorry Emily"

"Hey, It's okay. Just try and remember to tell me all the juicy details okay?"

"Why would I do that?"

"That's what friends do"

"Really?"

"Yeah, Reid... Hey don't you have to go get ready for your date tonight?"

"Uh, yes you're correct"

"Well, then go get ready and have fun tonight okay?"

"I will and Emily?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks"

"Anytime Reid" They then hung up, but Reid was still left confused. Prentiss's tone sounded sad and disappointed. But he was soon snapped out of his thoughts, when Hotch told him to head on home and he did not argue with his superior; he went home and got ready for his date with JJ.

As everyone was leaving the stadium, JJ and Spencer were walking to his car, while talking about the game that had ended about ten minutes ago.

"What did you think of your ever first football game, Spence?"

"It was... interesting" he admitted to her.

"Really, or are you just being a gentleman?" she teased him, but he took it beyond as usual, not being use to it.

"No! I swear It was interesting, but not really my kind of way to unwind, that's all"

"Spence, I was teasing" she chuckled lightly, while stroking his shoulder as a reassurance.

"Oh... alright then"

They drove for almost twenty five minutes, when they arrive at JJ's apartment building and he walked her up.

"I had a great time at the game tonight Spence"

"Even though your team lost?"

"oooh rubbing salt in the wound there" she teased, but when she saw the look of confusion in his eyes, "Another joke Spence" she told him calmly.

"Oh, that's good" he mumbled shyly, "Um, I'll see you at work on Monday the-" he was cut off, when his lips were covered by JJ's for a brief moment. When they pulled apart they both burst out laughing, "That was um, not what I expected"

"No spark?" she said after she stopped laughing.

"None what so ever"

"Worse kiss? And you might as well be honest because, it was for me"

"Actually it was a really bad kiss for me as well" he answered back.

"Well at least we know we can be really close friends, without the whole..."

"Sexual tension, yeah I agree with you" he finished her sentence.

"Plus I was surprised you even asked me"

"How come?"

"I thought you would have asked out that girl you always text to. You practically glow whenever you two talk or text. And we can so tell when you've hung out with her the night before, because you have a great smile on your face"

"She's a good friend, JJ" he told her, while looking down at the carpeted floor.

"Are you sure or... are you just trying to make yourself believe that?"

"...I... uh, I gotta go. I'll see you at work on Monday, JJ" he as he walked away and back to his car.

And that is the end of Chapter two (2). Please remember to review and leave your comments and possible ideas for the next chapter, which will be based off the "What fresh Hell?" episode.
