They both ate while making small talk. Reid felt comfortable with Emily. He wasn't akward or shy, but himself, and he was proud of it. Emily felt she could be herself also. They had the common interest in slaughter house. Emily laughed when Reid started quoting the book in a funny voice.
"I really like being over here. It's nice. I like the company." Emily said after a moment of silence. "Do you wanna have another date?"
"What about the rules? What will the team say?..." Emily smiled at him.
"As long as it doesn't affect our job, it'll be fine. And I'm sure the team will understand, plus, if you don't want to tell them, we don't have to." Reid smiled sincerely.
"Okay... Saturday then? Your place this time."
"Deal... now let's put that other DVD in. What is it?"
"It's The Lion King." Reid said, blushing.
"I love that movie. It's a perfect one for this setting, too. Nala and Simba..." Emily said.
Once the movie was in, they sat on the couch again and settled down. Reid put his arm around Emily's shoulders. She smiled to herself. He wasn't anywhere near shy when it was just them. The movie was at a romantic part, and Reid and Prentiss' heads came close to touching, their lips close to meeting, but the T.V. Turned to a loud scene in the movie and they jumped.
"Uhh... I'll turn the movie off if you want." Emily smiled.
"Sure... then we can listen to some more Beethoven." Emily said sincerely.
Reid turned the T.V. Off and put the music to a low, soothing volume. Reid, again, sat nearly touching to Emily. Their heads, once again, nearly touching, and their lips finally met. They continued the kiss for many more seconds.
Reid blushed.
"What's the matter?" Emily asked.
"N-nothing, it's just... I've never kissed a girl before." Reid blushed again.
"I kinda figured that... you don't show it though. I'm tired. Mind if I stay here tonight?"
"Uh, no, not at all. You can sleep in my bed... I'll stay on the couch." Emily laughed. "What?"
"I don't care if we sleep together." Reid blushed. "I know, you've never slept with a girl either."Reid shook his head. "Well, first time for everything. C'mon." Emily half dragged Reid to the bedroom. Reid changed into a T-shirt and gave Emily a T-shirt too. She put it on without hesitation and climbed on the bed.
"Goodnight Spencer..." Emily turned in the bed to face him and planted a kiss on his cheek.
"Night Emily..."
That night, Reid and Emily, both, slept the best they've ever had in a long time. Almost since they started their job at the BAU. The nightmares didn't haunt them, because the comfort triumphed over the stress of the job. Sometime in the middle of the night, both of them embraced each other in a hug to stop the nightmares.
Once they both woke up, they didn't want to get out of bed. Both knew they had to get up for work, so once they were sitting slouched in the bed, there was a jinx after both groaned peacefully.
"I said it before you. Now you owe me a pop." Emily said happily.
"What? Jinx?" Emily sighed and rolled her eyes.
"When two or more people say or do the same thing at the same time, you say jinx, the first person to say it says 'you owe me a pop'. I said it before you, therefore, you owe me a pop." Emily explained sweetly.
"First of all, that has no point. Second, we didn't do anything at the same time. You were approximately .05 of a second after me. Therefore, nobody owes anybody anything." Emily laughed.
"Fine. You win." Reid smiled. "C'mon. We have to get ready for work."
"Uh, Emily." Reid said.
"Hmm?"
"You know we have to tell the team about this. Us. They'll profile that something's going on between us, then they'll find out." Emily nodded.
"Just not this early." Emily added.
"Not this early." Reid agreed. "I guess I should get up."
"That would start the day off best." Emily said jokingly.
They headed for work. Emily was forced to wear her clothes from the night before, and Reid dressed as usual, sweater vest and all. When they were there, the looks both of them got were priceless. Mostly confusion in how they got there at the same exact time.
They both, while they were working, gave each other small smiles that didn't go unnoticed by the team members. They were starting to get suspicious. Morgan would glance at them while they were smiling lightly to each other and whistle.
"What?" Emily asked. Morgan just laughed.
"When are you going to admit it? Either there's some kind of friendship going on, or I'm hallucinating." Morgan joked.
"There is a friendship, but not the one you're talking about. And, you're not hallucinating, you just think you're seeing things, which is kind of scary." Reid said smiling at Emily, who was nearly in tears from laughing, one last time.
"Whoa, there is a friendship. I see the way you two are looking at each other every other second..."
"... Actually, every other 30 minutes." Emily looked at Reid. He immediately mentally slapped himself.
"So you confess?" Morgan asked. Emily threw her head on her desk and mumbled.
"Oh gawd! Reid! I swear!" Emily said into her arms
"Sorry. Fine, we do, Morgan, but don't tell anyone."
"Okay, pretty-boy, but are you going to tell the rest?" Reid nodded. "Reid's going out with Emily!" Morgan sang.
"Shut up Morgan! The team is in the break room. They'll hear you." Emily scolded. Morgan put his hands up in defense.
"Sorry." Morgan said quietly. "So how far have you gotten?"
"Is it your business?" Reid asked.
"Well, no... but."
Reid smiled. "Two dates."
"Nothing else?" Reid shook his head.
