A/N: I DO NOT OWN CRIMINAL MINDS.
With a cup of coffee on his hand and his messenger bag hanging on his shoulder, Spencer briskly walked across the empty hotel lobby. It was just 4 in the morning and a cup of coffee hardly helped him to stay awake. He had a hard time sleeping last night because of the fact that he can't get Lila off his mind. He can't help it but wonder if he did the right thing, to just leave like that. The make-out session he shared with her was definitely the highlight of his night but something didn't felt right and it's because he didn't have a chance to say what he really feels towards her.
"Hey Reid, wait up!" Spencer stopped from his tracks and turned to see Derek catching up with him. Derek had this silly smile on his face and Spencer already knew what will be coming next. "So how did your first date with Lila go?"
Spencer heaved a sigh. Sometimes he wishes that his colleague would just stop meddling with his private business. Derek seemed to be amused when there's a girl linked with Spencer.
"It went well." He simply said. Derek frowned at him, he definitely wants other details and Spencer knew that the less he says the pushier Derek would be.
"That's it?"
"Yeah. That's probably it." it was Spencer's turn to frown at Derek. "We should get to the jet. Hotch said we should be there in 5. Where's Emily?"
Derek eyed him with the sudden change of topic. Spencer knew what his friend was thinking about and it goes like, 'This kid is definitely hiding something from me.' Derek was about to say something else when Emily emerged from the elevator.
"Hey guys." Emily said as she strode across the lobby and towards the two men. She faced Spencer and gave him a sly look. "Hey Reid. How did your date go?"
Spencer heaved another sigh. Lila was right. His colleagues are concerned about him… especially his love life.

The streets of LA were filled with flickering lights even if it's still 4am. Spencer stared at the dazzling lights as they drove to the airport. His mind was flocked with thoughts about Lila and their little date. Maybe he should have told her what he truly feels about her so this bugging feeling would leave him alone. He imagined what would happen if he decides to go back to her.
"Stop the car!" Derek and Emily looks at him with confused expressions on their faces. "Stop it!" he shouts again. The car halts abruptly. Spencer jumps out of the car and stops a cab. Derek and Emily gets out of the car and called out to him.
"Where are you going Reid?" Derek shouts angrily at him but he just instructs the cab driver to drive him off to a certain address.
"Tell Hotch I'll stay here for a couple of days." He said while he sat at the back of the taxi. "Step on it." Before the two can stop him, the taxi drove away.
Spencer arrives in front of Lila's apartment. A few lights were left turned on inside. He stopped to sigh before walking towards the fancy looking house. The temperature was not hot but Spencer was sweating. He pressed the doorbell once, twice, thrice until he heard some movement inside. The door opened and Spencer was surprised to see the person behind it.
"Spencer? What are you doing here?" Lila asked, surprised to see the genius as well. It took some time before Spencer can think of something to say. He just stared at her a couple of seconds before scratching his head.
"I have no idea." He said with a nervous laughter. She gave him a smile which made Spencer's world stop for a moment. He pulled her close by her waist and kissed her instantly. She hesitated to kiss him at first but gave in afterwards. The kiss turned into a make-out session again but with more passion and intensity. Lila was the one to pull away first but still held close to him.
"I'm so glad you're back." She whispered to him and planted another kiss on his lips. She pulled him inside her apartment and Spencer dropped his bag just after he pushed the door close. They kissed again and Spencer trailed kisses on her neck and her shoulders -
"Reid!" he jumped in surprise when Derek called him. They already arrived in the airport and his two coworkers are already walking away. "What are you waiting for?"
He quickly got out of the car, took his bag, and ran after them. They were smirking at him as he followed.
"Something definitely happened with them." Derek whispered to Emily which they both laughed at.
Spencer was busy with his own thoughts that he didn't hear what they just said.

The jet was filled with silence as they flew back to Quantico. Derek was sleeping in one corner with his music plugged into his ears; Emily was busy reading a book and was sitting across Hotch who was, in the other hand, reading a case file. Rossi was busy surfing on his laptop.
Spencer just sat on the farthest seat of the jet and was intently staring outside the window. He was holding a cup of coffee and sipped it. He wanted to sleep a little before they land but thoughts of Lila didn't let him. Replaying in head the things that happened last night kept him busy. This is why he is glad that he has an eidetic memory. He will never forget the face of someone who he cares about so much and the moments he spent with her.

Spencer lay back in his seat after doing all his reports and filing them neatly in his drawer. He stretched his arms and yawned. If there will be one thing he hated doing after a case that will be writing down reports. He wasn't vocal about it especially to his colleagues since it will not do anything good plus he gets it done in just an hour. He heard his phone chirp from his pocket and he took it out. He almost fell from where he was sitting when he read it.
Hi Spencer. Ure probably too busy ryt now w/ ur work but I just wnt 2 let u knw dat I rly enjoyd last nyt. Im glad 2 see u again. – Lila
He instantly blushed after reading the message and typed in his reply.
I enjoyd it 2. Tnx to my tour guide of course. =)
After a couple of minutes, his phone rang again. Spencer excitedly opened the message.
It's my pleasure. LOL. How was ur flight? & how come ur texting ryt now? Ure supposed 2 b workng.
He smiled to himself and wondered for a second what LOL means but didn't want to ask Lila about it.
The flight was okay. I just finshed writing my report w/c means I have the rest of the day for myself. How about u? Aren't u going to some Hollywood business? =)

Spencer was busy texting that he didn't notice that three of his colleagues, Derek, Emily and Penelope, were watching him. They were curious with the sudden change in the young doctor.
"So what do you think?" Derek asked the two women who were still ogling at Spencer from a distance. "There's something happening between them, right?"
"Definitely." said Emily while nodding.
"I am no profiler but I can say that our Junior G-man is inlove." Penelope said as she took off her glasses and acted as if crying. Derek and Emily laughed at the analyst. Just in time, Ashley came into the bullpen. Derek grinned as an idea struck him. He told Emily and Penelope his plan and they all thought it was a good idea.
"Hey Seaver." The new recruit turned to their direction. "Come over here." She obliged as she left her bag in her table and strode towards them.
"We're gonna give you some kind of test." Emily said. Ashley just nodded and looked at the amused faces of her other colleagues but let her superior continue, "Profile Reid right now."
They all turned to Spencer, who is still busy texting with a dubious grin on his face. Ashley raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't there a rule here that we can't profile each other?" she asked as she faced the three.
"It's just for fun. And it's just between the four of us." Penelope reassured the younger agent. "Go on. Tell us what you think of Reid right now."
Ashley gave them a hesitating look before agreeing with them. "Alright." The three grinned at her as she observed Spencer's actions. "He keeps looking at his phone even if it's not ringing means he's waiting for some kind of text or call from somebody."
"Continue." said Penelope. Then Spencer's phone rang.
"He's blushing and smiling happily as he reads the text means that whoever he's texting is -" Ashley faced them instantly and saw the three laughing. "Is this for real? He has a girlfriend?"
"Maybe. We still don't know either." Derek declared. "But I have a good guess who she might be."
"Oh I know who you're thinking, loverboy." Penelope added.
"Me too, though I didn't get to meet her." Emily said.
"Who is it?" asked Ashley.
"All of you in the conference room, now." Hotch suddenly emerged from his office with Rossi standing beside him. Derek, Emily, Penelope and Ashley turned to the two older agents' stern faces. The tension was suddenly eased when they all heard a cackle from one of the work stations. They were all stunned to see it was Spencer. He laughed so loud they all were so stunned to react, except Hotch.
Hotch cleared his throat which finally caught the doctor's attention. Spencer turned to them, clueless with what happened.
"Reid. Conference room. Now." Hotch said in a very somber tone. Spencer stood from his desk in just a second and followed his colleagues. Derek and Penelope were laughing so hard when Hotch left them while Emily just smirked. Ashley gave him a surprised reaction and eventually laughed with the other two.
"What's funny guys?" he asked them but they just ignored him as they made their way to the conference room.
