Hi! Sorry for this update being so late. This chapter needed a lot of revising. I'm going away for the weekend, I'll still have an internet connection so hopefully I can still post but if I don't then you know where I am. Enjoy! :)

Reid strode into the Bureau feeling better than ever. His second date with Addi had been the night before and it went amazingly. The bureau seemed to be brighter and more exciting than any normal day and Reid said a friendly "hello" to everyone he passed. Some of them just gave him a strange look and kept walking, while others grinned and returned the greeting. Most of them just looked at him strange. Reid found it impolite that almost no one was returning the greeting and made a mental note of who was being polite and who wasn't. One of the impolite people happened to be Morgan.

Reid sat down at his desk. He noticed the rest of the team standing across the room from him. They were eyeing him. He thought nothing of it. He smiled and waved at them, which got him even more confused stares.

Reid looked down at his desk to see the paperwork that Hotch had left him. There was nothing that he wasn't used to and it didn't dampen his mood one bit. He adjusted some pictures in frames of him and the team or him and his mother, and then got straight to work.

"What do you think is going on with him?" JJ asked once Reid was focused on his work and no loner paying attention to their conversation.

"I haven't seen him this happy since… well I haven't seen him this happy," Morgan said.

"Go make sure he's OK," Blake said.

"What? Why me?" Morgan asked, "You do it."

"No thank you! JJ you go talk to him."

"I'll pass. Rossi, why don't you do it?" JJ said.

"What, no way! I haven't known him half as long as you two have!" Rossi argued.

"But you still know him!" Blake said.

"Well then why don't you do it?" Rossi asked.

"Because I don't know him like you do!" Blake said.

"But you still know him!" Rossi said in his worst impression of Blake.

"Morgan go give him a manly talking to," JJ shoved Morgan forward.

"It's you who wants to know what's up with him. You do it."

"We all want to know."

"It was your idea!"

"Sucks. Go!"

Morgan hesitantly walked over to Reid's desk.

"What's going on with you?" Morgan asked teasingly.

"What? No, there's nothing going on, who said there was anything going on?" Reid replied hastily.

"Well for one thing, your scaring half the FBI with your "hellos"" Morgan said, "I wouldn't be surprised if Hotch came down here and took you to get tested for drugs."

"OK, well, I had another date with Addi last night," Reid said.

"Oh really lover boy? How'd it go?" Morgan said.

"How do you think it went!" Reid joked. Before they could say anymore, Hotch called them in for a meeting.

While passing the rest of the team on the way over to the office, Morgan whispered, "Lover boy went out on another date."

JJ, Rossi, and Blake all giggled immaturely.


Addi stared out the window, thinking about the night before. It had gone better than she'd ever imagined a date could go. They'd talked all about their lives and Spencer seemed exactly what a hero would be. He'd saved people's lives by going into their minds. He'd been shot but was strong and always kept going. He'd told her about all the crimes he'd solved, of course Addi had told him much about her life, but his stories were always the most interesting.

Her favourite was the Replicator story. The man was horrible (Spencer wasn't ever allowed to mention names) In the end the team saved the day once again and the Replicator had been killed in his own trap.

Spencer had also told her about Maeve and how she died. They didn't talk about it for long because it made Spencer so upset but he missed her everyday. Addi wanted to be there for Spencer every time he was missing Maeve. She sounded like such a smart woman and Addi felt so sorry for Spencer.

The one thing that they hadn't spoken about was Addi's experience with other men. It was brought up several times but Addi quickly dismissed it each time. Throughout her whole life boys had never been interested in her, she wasn't a nerd or anything like that. She was friends with the people that always had a boyfriend, even if their relationships only lasted a week, but no one ever wanted her like that.

She had dated only twice before Spencer. Both were boys she'd met back in Halifax. One when she was 18, which she could hardly remember and the other only a few years ago. It lasted around a year but he had anger management problems and they were in an argument when he pulled a gun on her. He didn't hurt her. He just told her to leave and a couple weeks later she'd received a huge apology through the phone and he told her to just stay away if she wanted to be safe.

Addi sighed. This time she was sure that she'd found the one.
