Chapter 6

Reid left her place when she did. He kissed her by her car and held her close. They made plans to meet in the parking lot of the Las Vegas Health Center at six. She told him she wore scrubs at her job and could easily shower there so they could go out for dinner. He agreed. All day Spencer kept smiling he couldn't stop. His mind raced around with ideas and thoughts about how to spend this night. Really he didn't care about dinner; in fact he didn't care if he ever ate again. This was absolutely wonderful. He had come here to see his mother not to find love. 'Love, is that was what this was? How can he be in love so quickly and how could it work if he was all over the country and she was here?' Spencer's mind swirled with possibilities and realities until he scolded himself to just enjoying it while it happened. 'We can decide what to do later.'

They had dinner at a nice family style restaurant but this time they did not linger over their meal, both of them not wanting to waste a moment of this evening. He suggested they should go for a walk and she agreed. They strolled along the strip, the bright lights shinning above them. When he was here the day he met her, he was stunned by the changes, but now he hardly noticed them. When they stopped in front of a large fountain he held her around the waist, kissing her tenderly.

"Do you want to make a wish?" She looked at the fountain not leaving the protective shell he had her wrapped up in.

"No I don't have anything I want to wish for, because everything I've ever wanted has come true."

"Good, cause neither do I."

"Wait there is one thing I could wish for?"

"What's that?" She looked up at his face.

"To be alone with you." He said seductively.

"You don't have to wish for that, let's go." Mattie smiled at him and winked.

"Uh-huh lets go." Spencer figured he would never get enough of this woman he couldn't ask for anything more. It was as if all his dreams were coming true and for a brief moment he thought it could be too good to be true.

"Your hotel is closer than my apartment." She wiggled her eyebrows.

They arrived at his hotel and quickly disposed of their clothing. They made love fast and desperate followed by long and slow. And when they were both exhausted he held her tightly. She had thought he was asleep so she rolled towards him touching his face.

"I love you Spencer Reid. I have for a very long time."

She whispered those words to him so softly, Spencer wasn't sure if she had really said them. He decided to test it by opening his eyes. She was staring at him and when their eyes met tears formed at her lash line.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that."

"No Mattie, it's ok because I think I am falling in love with you too. I didn't want to believe it and I keep telling myself it is too soon but hearing you say it…"

He didn't finish because she kissed him. When they made love again this time Spencer looked into her eyes never taking his off of hers. He saw the raw emotion in her eyes and knew she could see it in his. As he gave his heart over to this woman, completely surrendered himself to her he wondered for the second time ever if he could walk away from the BAU. Once before because of his drug problem but this time because he thought maybe he could have a life and a family. It never occurred to him that he could have both JJ did but for Reid it was always one or the other.

Reid had a wake up call for 7am so Mattie could get up for work. He wished she could have the day off but he understood she took pride in her job. They were sleeping soundly when a knock on the door startled him at 5:30. His phone was vibrating on the floor from within his trouser pocket.

"Reid, wake up!" More banging along with Morgan's gruff voice.

"Just a minute!"

Mattie sat up she was confused and clung to the sheet that was wrapped around her torso.

Reid picked up his boxers and slipped them on. He cracked the door open and saw Morgan standing there in a black T-shirt, black pants and sunglasses on top of his head. He tried to look into the room but Reid stepped out into the hall closing the door behind him. Morgan raised his eyebrows in a questioning gaze but then he took stock of the younger agent. He was dressing in nothing but a pair of boxers that were dangerously open at the fly, just enough that if Reid moved the wrong way he would expose himself. His hair was a mess and he had a crease across his face from the pillow. But what caught Morgan's attention almost immediately was the hicky low on Spencer's torso. You only got that kind from one thing and Morgan was dumbfounded. Reid looked down to the spot that Morgan was staring and his eyes grew wide, he also tugged on his boxers to close the gap in the material.

"Go get dressed man, we have a case. I'll meet you in the lobby Morgan turned around walking quickly down the hall.

Reid tried the door knob and realized he had locked himself out. He knocked and said

"Mattie let me in."

"Are you alone?"

"Yes, but I'm out here in my underwear, hurry up."

He didn't know what the hell he was thinking coming out here like this but he didn't want Morgan to see Mattie naked. That was for his eyes only. She had his t-shirt on and it ended just bellow her hips. She stood there with her toes facing inward like a little kid that had to go pee. He laughed at the way she looked her hair a mess her makeup smudged and worn off. But he had never seen such a beautiful sight. He pulled her against him and kissed her.

"I love you, crazy as that seems I do."

"I know Spencer it is crazy, but I love you too."
