Who Knew, Huh?
Chapter Four (4): Someone's Watching me
He had just walked in the coffee shop when he saw a familiar someone sitting at the table alone, reading peacefully. He ordered his drink and patiently waited to receive it, after paying for it. Minutes later, he got his caffeine drink and then slowly sat in the next chair and was now facing her, well her book, but he was in front of her.
"Slaughterhouse-five?" he asked, while raising one of his eyebrows.
"Yeah, it's my favourite book by Kurt Vonnegut. You come here often?"
"Sometimes, yes. But right now I have to get home, pack up and head to L.A. for a seminar" and of course he wouldn't tell her what kind of seminar it was,and she let it go for now.
"Ooh, lucky. How many days?"
"Not too long, in case the rest of the team is called to a case"
"That's good. So you're gonna get a tan, get some girl time" she playfully winked at him, making him blush in the process, "Oh, i'm just teasing doc, I know that you're not that kind of person"
"Glad to know... listen I have to really head on home, pack up and meet my supervisor at the airstrip. I'll text you later to tell you how it's going"
Emily had planned out to ask him out, but after hearing about his plans in L.A. and all she decide to withhold it for a little while longer, "Yeah, i'll text you later Spencer. Have fun in L.A. at least"
"I'll try, I have an old high school friend that lives in L.A., Parker. I might go see him. See you Emily" he said as he walked out.
"...See you Spencer" she muttered to herself and then went back to her book. But when she saw that she couldn't focus on the current page that she was reading anymore, she got up and went back to her condo.

Days went by and both Spencer and Emily have been exchanging text messages, but neither of them knew that Reid would be staying in a L.A. a little longer than they thought. She had received a text from him the day that Gideon told him that the team was on their way.
~Hey, We got called in a case with the LAPD. SR~
~Seriously? Wow, you really can't catch a break doc lol. EP~
~It looks to be like a personal vendetta case SR~
~Really? Well you and whatever team you work with will have it figured out. Oh, meet anyone special? ;) EP~
~I did, but I'm pretty sure it was just friendship or interest in the same art exhibit SR~
~Yeah, yeah, Keep telling yourself that doc lol anyways I better let u get back to work. Talk to you later Spencer. EP~
He put his phone back into his pocket and focused on the case that they were currently working on.

Emily had just sat at her table and was about to eat her meal, when she got a call from a very familiar number. She pressed the speaker button and they started talking.
"Well hello there Dr. Reid" she told him.
"Hey Emily, listen. Remember the girl that I talked about at the art gallery exhibit?"
"Yeah?"
"Well the vendetta case turned out to be an extreme stalker case and it involves her. And she's been very clingy to me and always talks to me, when i'm suppose to be working"
"That's because she likes you, Spencer. Who wouldn't?"
"I'm shy, awkward, skinny and pale enough that you could see through me? Oh and I apparently look like a 12 – 14 year old"
"You're sweet, kind, polite, yes a little shy but in a good way. Showing that you're not all 'I'm real man, I have no emotion except being all egotistical and flexing my muscles' kind of guy. Which isn't what all women look for. And for the record you look like a 22 year old... almost 23 to me"
"That's... good to know, I think"
"Do you like her?"
"What?"
Emily knew that she was going to hate herself after saying this, "Do you like her, in a way that you would want to date her, kiss and whatever comes after the kissing stage?"
"I... I don't know" he admitted, maybe there was still hope for her, but she pushed it away.
"Listen doc, you have to find out"
"I don't want to though"
"Why not? You have someone else in mind?"
"I... I gotta go, Emily, Gideon needs me" and then the line went dead and Emily went back to eating, with so many thoughts due to the fact that it sounded like Reid was afraid of admitting who he had feelings for at the moment. Maybe there was hope for her after all, but she soon pushed those thoughts aside... again, because he would be all facts and statistics about choosing his partner and he only sees her as a nerd buddy.

After putting the magazine in his desk drawer, he started walking out of the bullpen, when he ran back and threw out the magazine. Walking out of the bullpen, he saw JJ and Garcia staring at him.
"What?"
"Why did you throw out a magazine, involving a girl that likes you?" Garcia asked, already knowing the answer, "Would it be because you have feelings for someone else? Someone like the girl you always text, talk to and hang out with?"
"... I'm going to miss the last subway shift if I don't leave now. See you all tomorrow!" he lied pathetically. They all knew that he had made plans with this mystery woman and would grab a cab home.
Almost forty minutes later, he was standing at the front of an apartment/condo door and softly knocked. Seconds later, the door was unlocked and soon opened to reveal a smiling Emily Prentiss on the other side.
"You're a little early, but it's better than being late" she walked away from the door, letting him inside. After she closed the door, Spencer got a good look at her home and liked how everything was placed. It looked extremely cleaned and proper.
'Don't profile her home!' he thought to himself.
"Your condo turned out really nice" he mentioned.
"Thanks, it took a while to move everything slowly. Now I officially don't work in the Chicago field office"
"You got a job offer at Quantico?"
"No, but I have enough money to live off here for the next while"
"How much?"
"...I guess we've known each other long enough to tell you that I come from a very wealthy family. You've heard of Ambassador Prentiss right?"
"I have a little, why, are you two related?"
"Well she's my mother, so i would guess that we are related" she gently teased back.
"Oh, wow. So you literally can just not work. Yet you do, why?"
"I've always been fascinated at what's going on inside the mind of killers, I worked my butt off to become an agent and I know I have what it takes to be in the BAU. If they'll have me, that is"
"And what if they don't accept you?" e was really interested at knowing, if she would use her connections to get into the bureau or work her way. He sort of already knew that she would work her way up to the BAU, but he still needed to be reassured.
"Then I'll get more experience and hope I do get in one day" she said as she offered him a glass of wine.
"Oh, thanks" he accepted the beverage and took a small sip of it, before sitting on the sofa.
"So... you became a man of mystery?" she asked with a sly grin on her face.
"What?" Emily then pulled out the magazine and laid it on the table, "Oh god... you bough it?"
"I just had to see it to believe it. Spencer all the girls are at your feet" she flirted playfully with, which he didn't get.
"I don't get it"
"First JJ, and now another beautiful blonde? You sure know what you like"
"I don't believe in dating someone just for their physical features. Yes both JJ and Lila have physical similarities, but also both of them have different intellectual levels. But they are both smart"
"That's good to know... so any juicy details?"
"She made me fall into the pool, by pulling me in... then she kissed me and we made out in the pool"
"Doc, you stud" she exclaimed.
"Then I told her that her closest friend/manager got killed"
"I guess that dampened the mood huh?" she asked rhetorically.
"I don't know If I should call her though. Should I?"
Right then, Emily wanted to tell him that he shouldn't before she kissed him, but pulled back from her daydream by answering, "Do you think it would work out? Especially with your hectic schedule and all?"
"No... but I'm also not a big crowd people kind of guy, so I would feel very insecure at the parties she goes to"
"Another con... how about some pros?"
"...There are no pros... just cons"
"Then I guess you have your answer" inside of her head, she was doing imaginary backflips out of joy.

"I have to head on home, I still have some reports to finish up"
"Sure" she looked up at her clock, "Spencer, it's two in the morning, you're not going to find a cab at this time of the night. Come on I have a guest room up the stairs and you brought your go bag with you right?"
"Yeah... but I don't want to inconvenient-" he was cut off her his friend/crush.
"No it's okay and plus you've had at least half a bottle of wine and might as well sleep it off"
"Really Emily, I would just be a burde-" Emily blocks his path that was leading to her door, which was his only way out, "Emily..."
"Spencer..." she imitates his tone, and leans up to him with a reassuring smile, "You could never be burden okay?"
He didn't respond. Spencer knew that he was partially drunk/buzzed and what he did next was not only out of character but also something he wanted to do for a little while now. Reid quickly leaned down and captured Emily's lips into his own.
20 seconds later, they broke away, looked into each other eyes and met each other lips once more. Only this time it was more fierce and heated. Hands roamed on both of their bodies, while they quickly made their way to her couch and continued their heated make out session. Eventually his lips went to her neck, while one hand felt her leg and the other was unbuttoning her red blouse, sending some buttons flying. Emily's hands were at his tie and dress shirt. Unlike Reid, she just ripped his shirt open and then went for his belt.
She pushed his dress shirt off his shoulders before kissing his lips, then neck, shoulders and chest. Spencer pulled her close to him, after throwing her blouse somewhere in the living room and went to her black jeans and she did the same for his slacks.

Spencer Reid woke up and saw that it wasn't only dark, but felt a bit of a draft. His eyes then widen in terror when everything came back to him and realized that he had drunk sexual intercourse with Emily, on her couch. The first thing that came to his mind was to run out of here, and he started doing that. He got dressed, grabbed his things and walked out of Emily's condo, onto the streets and checked the time. It was almost six in the morning and that he could sneak into work a little earlier and went to work.
'What the hell have I done! I just ruined the one thing I never wanted to do, sleep with a close friend!" he thought to himself, 'I'm such an idiot! I know I had some sexual tension with her, but she thinks of me as a really good friend and now it's all ruined because of a drunken mistake' he saw that the subway was nearing his stop and got ready to get off and then start a very long day at Quantico.

Hearing her alarm sounding in the distance and the sudden feeling of nauseous hitting her, Prentiss made a dash to her washroom and had just barely made it in time to empty her stomach contents into the ceramic toilet.
After she rinsed her mouth and saw that she was naked, Emily grabbed the robe i her washroom and went to gather her clothes when visions of last nights event replayed in her head.
Flashback moment
the feeling of him inside of her, getting as close as he could until neither of them could hold on any longer and climaxed at the same time.
"Spencer!" he growled out
"Emily!" she screamed out
He then softly and gently kissed her on the lips and then her shoulder before they drifted off into a fistful sleep.
End of Flashback moment
"Oh god... I just slept with my friend" she laid her head into her hands.

Weeks later everyone was in and all BAU team members saw how distant Reid was and knew that they would have to pry out whatever was bothering him. Spencer and Emily had refused to talk to one another. He assumed because she didn't call him was due to her thinking that it was a huge mistake and didn't want to talk to him right, while she thought because he ran off before she woke up and he didn't make any contact that what had happened between them that night was huge mistake.
By lunch time, they saw that he was even ignoring the calls and texts on his phone. Now they knew that it was between him and this girl that he's been crushing over. Now the bigger question was, did she hurt him?
Morgan and JJ pulled him into Jennifer's office, locked the door, closed the blinds and then started questioning him.
"Alright pretty boy talk"
"About?"
"Hmm, let me see. Oh, how about the fact that you're ignoring all text and calls coming form your phone, that is not outside of work related? Did something happened between you and that girl you like? Did she hurt you?" the older agent asked seriously.
"What, no!"
"But something did happen Spence?" JJ asked with a concern tone and look on her face.
"I... I had drunk sexual intercourse with her almost five weeks ago"
"What?" they both said at the same time.
"I don't understand" Morgan stated.
"I think he means that he got drunk and slept with her" JJ answered.
"Since when do you get drunk?" now Derek was off topic. Then a knock came to JJ's door and they knew that the third party member had arrived. Morgan let the person in, revealing to be Elle Greenaway.
"What did I miss?"
"Reid had drunk sex with his crush weeks ago and I guess he bailed out before she woke up"
"Ooh Chico" she sat down next to him, "Why haven't taken her calls or text messages?"
"There's nothing to talk about, we were drunk, we had intercourse and probably wants me to call and tell me that it was all a mistake"
"Kid, if that were true, then you ignoring her calls would have been the hint that you thought it was a mistake. She feels the same way man. Call her, text... even better, you have one hour of lunch break... go to her Reid and talk to her"
"Spence, he's right. Maybe it's to say that both of you jumped ahead and would like to start off slow and then make your way up or she'll tell you that she has more than friendship feelings for you" just then his phone rang and saw that it was indeed Emily that was calling him again, "Take it Spence, we'll leave you alone" all three walked out of her office and gave him privacy.
He flipped his phone open and pressed the talk button, "Emily..."
"Hey... we need to talk"
"I know... Just to clear things up and then figure things out"
"And other things" she laughed dryly.
"Like?"
"... I'm pregnant, Spencer"
