So I had writer's block but I wrote through it. There were many drafts for this chapter.

"I had a great time. He picked me up, we went to dinner, and then we walked." That was all Anna was telling Wendy and Jenna about her date with Derek Morgan no matter how much they asked.

"Come on Anna, tell me the good stuff." Wendy nudged her with her elbow suggestively.

"In your dreams Wendy, and really not even then. I swear you guys are such snoops." She shook her head at them before going to help a costumer. Jenna turned to Wendy.

"You know that this only means it was too good for words right?" The older woman nodded.

"Absolutely."

"It went great. We ate, we walked, and we talked. " Derek told the team while they waited for a case in the conference room. Everyone looked at him expectantly but that was all he said before taking a sip of coffee.

"That's it?" JJ asked what everyone was thinking. "That's all you have to say?"

"Yeah." He shrugged. He didn't want to brag about his date like he usually did. This was Anna and he wasn't a very superstitious man but, he didn't want to jinx anything. Hotch came in and started their meeting before they could ask more questions. Emily looked to Spencer who only shrugged. He didn't know what had happened either.

"I don't know what happened but it was amazing enough to put her in a good mood and for her to inform me that I need to leave on Friday night because she is hosting the next date." Jenna told Spencer while they ate at a restaurant for dinner.

"Well at least we know that they're getting along." He looked on the bright side. They got quiet for a moment while they ate their food.

"Hey, Spence, I was wondering if it would be alright if I slept over at your place on Friday, just until the morning." She looked up in time to see the heat rising up his neck. She couldn't blame him, they had yet to go all the way and barely got to 'second base'.

"Uh, yeah, sure you can." He nodded.

"Don't worry Dr. Reid, I promise I will behave."

"I can't believe you're kicking me out." Jenna whined to Anna who was pushing her to the door. It was already Friday night and Anna was making something that smelled delightful but was kept a mystery from Jenna.

"Do you really want to be a third wheel?" Anna asked as she opened the door.

"Do I get fed?" She only earned a look from her roommate. She sighed and picked up her overnight bag. "You better be glad I got Spencer to agree to an 'innocent' sleepover because if it was Wendy, you'd have a much harder time getting rid of me."

"Yeah, yeah." She rolled her eyes before leaning in to hug her goodbye.

"Have fun and tell tall, dark, and handsome I said hello." Jenna waved before making her way out.

"I will." Anna called after her.

"I order the pizza with the cheese in the crust just how you like it." Spencer informed Jenna when he heard her walking in towards him. She had come over a couple of hours earlier and they sat like they normally would have. Then she suggested they finally watch Clockwork Orange and order some pizza which he agreed to before they went to change into their pajamas. He wore his usual sweats and plain t-shirt. He was surprised to see what Jenna was wearing though.

"Do you like?" She asked when she finally came into his line of sight. She turned around to show off the outfit.

"Star Trek pajamas?" He questioned as he took in the sight of his girlfriend in pajamas themed around his favorite television show.

"I told you I bought some." She grinned and sat next to him. Her hair was up in a messy bun and she was wearing her brown rimmed glasses.

"I appreciate your full commitment to the show."

"Thank you." She beamed. "Now, should we wait for the pizza or go ahead?"

"We should wait; I don't want to be interrupted." She agreed and they sat back. Spencer placed an arm on the couch behind her.

"Very smooth Dr. Reid." She looked up at him.

"Do you enjoy calling by my professional title?" He wondered aloud.

"Of course I do. It's fun. By the way, doctor, where exactly am I sleeping tonight?" Spencer had thought about it but didn't really know what to expect.

"Uh, well, where do you want to sleep?" He asked her back. She didn't really know. Was she supposed to say his bedroom?

"I could stay with, um, you if that's okay?" She was suddenly nervous.

"Sure." He nodded.

"Great." They sat for a moment in silence. "I don't want to force anything." Jenna told him quietly.

"Neither do I." He agreed, happy that they were on the same page.

"I'm not objecting it. I just want us to both be sure." She clarified. It's not like she never wanted the moment to happen. She turned to him and smiled sheepishly. "I mean, I do love kissing you."

"Really?" He asked.

"Of course, why do you think I do it so often?" She chuckled.

"I don't know, because that's what people do." He shrugged. "I don't have a lot of experience."

"Spence, I know that you think that's a bad thing, but I think it's one of the best things about you." She confessed. He furrowed his eyebrows.

"Really?" He was genuinely surprised.

"Absolutely," She nodded and grabbed his hand, "I love that I make you nervous and that you still blush when I kiss you. I love that you really must have liked me to have asked me out. It means so much more this way. And if it makes you feel any better, you are an amazing kisser." He couldn't contain his smile as he cupped her cheek and kissed her passionately. He leaned back and looked her in the eyes.

"Jenna, I," He was interrupted by a knock at his door.

"Pizza's here." She informed him sadly. He kissed her again before standing and retrieving the hot meal.

"What were you saying?" She asked when he sat down next to her with the box, two paper plates, and some napkins.

"When?"

"Earlier you said, Jenna I…" She motioned for him to continue but he shook his head.

"Oh, it was nothing."

"Alright," She shrugged, "Time for A Clockwork Orange!"

"Spencer, I almost want to be upset at you for making me watch that." Jenna shut her eyes and tried to un-watch the disturbing movie. Spencer on the other hand seemed generally unfazed.

"Jen, it wasn't that bad." She turned to him with wide eyes.

"Were we watching the same movie? That was not something that needed to be seen. I'm going to have nightmares tonight." She turned to him. "Now you have to protect me from all of the monsters."

"Actually, nightmares are a type of sleep disruption characterized by frightening psychological content. They provoke a feeling of imminent physical danger with a sensation of being trapped or suffocated. So technically I wouldn't be able to," Jenna leaned in and cut him off with a kiss. Sometimes you just want to hear the good things even if they aren't exactly true.

"Spencer, tell you're going to protect me from all of the monsters." She told him quietly.

"I will protect you from all of the monsters." He repeated without hesitation. She nodded.

"Okay."

Meanwhile…

"What time is it?" Derek asked against Anna's lips.

"Time for you to not be worried about the time." She mumbled and continued kissing him. He almost forgot about his question but new better. He opened his eyes and raised his wrist to check his watch. Anna sighed when she felt him stop and sat back. They hadn't meant to start making out on her couch. He came over with wine, they ate dinner, they talked and sometime between the first times he had thought to leave hours before and the second time he had decided to leave at that moment, they shared a remarkable kiss. He took in her tousled hair, slightly bruised lips, flushed face and almost regretted what he knew he had to say.

"It's late." He told her. He couldn't sleep with her on their second date, no matter how good she looked.

"So?" She ran a hand through her hair.

"So I have to go." He made no move to leave, making her chuckle.

"I think that I could persuade you to stay, but you seem like you want to protect my virtue or something." She stood and he followed. "Do you need anything?" She asked as they walked to her door.

"Not that I can think of." He grabbed his jacket and turned to her. "I had a great time."

"So did I. I don't usually go all domestic on people so you should feel special." She grinned.

"I do. Next time, I'm treating you."

"I will be looking forward to it."

Spencer opened his eyes to the sight of Jenna sleeping. They had gone to bed after he promised that he would protect her from all of the monsters. He liked the idea of protecting her, even if it was from things that didn't exist. And at that moment he looked at her. She was beautiful. He didn't mind that she wasn't valedictorian, or that she didn't have an IQ in the 180's or that she believed in fate and needed to be protected by monsters. He loved that she thought fairy tales were the best kind of stories and that she liked to call him Dr. Reid. He reached up and moved some of her hair out of her face to get a better view. Her nose scrunched a little at the movement before her eyes slowly fluttered open. She smiled brightly when she saw him looking at her.

"I love you." He told her with absolute sureness. She was shocked but it only to a second for her to chuckle and shift over to kiss him.

"I love you too."

Was it worth the writer's block recovery time?

Also, this won't be the last chapter because I did get some more ideas while recovering.
