After the pizza they ventured to the refrigerator for something to drink. Spencer took solace in the last water bottle and she grabbed a can of soda. Neither of them were big soda drinkers, but she enjoyed them every now and then. Right now especially, it was ice cold and it cooled her down a bit. She sighed in satisfaction after the first sip, that first drink after sex was EVERYTHING.

"Rossi guessed what had happened yesterday. Immediately, I was impressed"

Spencer said out of nowhere, smiling at her.

"What?"

She asked, cocking her head sideways.

"Rossi guessed that I had sex the very day after we first had sex. I was impressed because I thought I was good at hiding my emotions but as soon as I walked in he gave me a slap on the back and said congratulations"

He explained, chuckling to himself.

She smiled, it warmed her heart that his team knew, even if it was just Rossi. She really liked Rossi, he had such a calming presence. He seemed very fatherly, and quite wise. Hearing Spencer talk about him, her assumption was right. Speaking of his team, she remembered an Emily that he mentioned.

"Hey, you mentioned an Emily that sent you home today. Is she your captain?"

She asked, finishing off her soda.

"Yes she's our captain"

He answered.

"I thought the tall dark haired guy was. The one that looks scary"

"Hotch? He used to be, but he's a full time dad now. Emily took his place"

"Oh wow. I'm glad he with his son. It was nice of Emily to send you home a little early today"

"It's because she found out about JJ's confession to me. She sent all of us home early so she could talk with her"

"Oh I'm sorry Spence, I don't think she meant to cause any trouble"

"I know she didn't, and Emily is really understanding so things will be fine. I'll sit down and have a talk with her, I know it's bothering her"

"You do that, I'm sure talking with you would mean a lot to her. I'll let you go ahead and call her, I'm going to shower. I stink"

She giggled, kissing his cheek.

He nodded and pulled out his phone as she walked away to the bathroom. She felt better about Emily. She hated getting insecure, but she was happy that Spencer just told her the truth about everything, even if it hurt. She never had someone to depend on like that and it was refreshing. JJ on the other hand, she honestly felt sort of bad for her. JJ has known Spencer for far longer than she ever had, there was no telling just how much they have been through. If Spencer was anything like he was at home when he was at work, it wasn't shocking that someone would fall in love with him. He was genuinely a good person. It made her a little insecure to have other girls confessing to him while she was with him, but did she have the right to? They weren't officially together, he never said he was exclusive with her. So why would he be responsible to be loyal?

She sighed as she turned on the water. Of course he was loyal to her. He had no obligation to be, but she knew he was. He came straight home to her after work, he gave her 100% of his attention when he was home, except when work called. He told people she was in his life. It made her so happy to know that. These past few days were a blur. A blissful blur that she could hardly process. A few days ago she was begging for Spencer to notice her and now he couldn't get enough. It was perfect in every way.

She undressed and stepped in the shower. The warm water washed over her and made her sigh in relief. All of her worries washed away in the water. Ever since she was born she loved water, it soothed her. Now as an adult it still soothed her. It was the only constant she'd ever had. It was a familiar feeling. She hummed to herself as she cleaned up, scrubbing the thin layer of sweat and sex from her skin. She was a bit of a germaphobe. It wasn't bad, but she liked to be clean and didn't like touching anything too much. Now, Spencer on the other hand, was the only exception.

He was always going to be the exception.

She heard the door open and it made her jump. "I'm in here!"

"I know. I wanted to join you"

Came Spencer's sweet voice.

She blushed, trying to hide her smile by biting her lip. He opened the shower curtain and stepped inside, rolling his eyes back as the pleasant warmth of the shower hit him. Her heart jumped, she couldn't believe that he was ready to shower with her. He was a huge germaphobe. Normally he would NEVER shower with another person, but he made an exception for her. She was his exception.

The thought filled her with a deep profound love that she didn't even know she was capable of. It almost brought tears to her eyes.

"You look really nice in the water Reynolds..."

He said softly in her ear, wrapping his arms around her.

"You're going to make me cry, thank you. You look nice too"

She smiled, swallowing her tears.

"Are you crying? Did I say something?"

He asked, immediately concerned.

"I just... ive never had someone care about me the way you do. It's... lovely. It's really lovely"

She said, her lip quivering.

His face softened, he held her and pulled her head against his chest.

"It is lovely. I've never had anyone to love me like you do. Thank you"

He murmured in her ear.

She smiled through her tears. Happy tears, happy tears. He knew she loved him. He always knew. He was good at his job so she could never keep anything from him. She never wanted to, she wanted him to trust her. She wanted to be the one good, safe place for him to fall into every day. It's all she ever wanted.

They shared a tender kiss and showered. She washed her hair while he washed up, they both were silent, but silence was warm and familiar with them. Usually she was a nervous person, desperate to fill up any type of silence, and he used to be that way around her as well, but they both have settled into a good routine in each other's company. If they didn't have anything to say, they just didn't say anything and enjoyed each other's company. It was a healthy, stable trust that she'd never had before.

After the shower was over, she walked to her room to find some clean pajamas. She found some shorts and a white t-shirt and threw them on, she didn't even bother with a bra. She walked back in the living room and found Spencer sitting on the couch on his phone. She sat next to him and rested her head on his shoulder. She didn't want to watch his screen and invade his privacy, so she focused her attention on the tv. It was an infomercial about some hair product.

"Emily said that JJ was fine, that there was no reason to worry about anything. I called her before I joined you in the shower and you were right."

He said, locking his phone and putting it away.

"Right about what?"

She asked.

"It meant a lot to her that I called her and talked to her personally. Her and Will made peace, and that she was going to focus on him so she can let go of her feelings for me. I'm glad things can go back to normal"

He said, laying his head against hers.

She was happy to hear that. She may have been apprehensive about JJ, but she was glad she apologized was focusing elsewhere trying to fall out of love with Spencer. It showed the integrity she really had, and that made her gain a lot of respect for the beautiful blonde.

"I'm really happy for you... I hope tomorrow goes well at work for you"

She encouraged.

"I forgot that I worked tomorrow! I have to go to bed or I'll be worthless. Goodnight, Cherish I'll talk to you later"

Spencer said suddenly.

He jumped up from the couch and hastily walked into his room and shut the door. She giggled and blew him a kiss knowing he wouldn't see it. Sure, they wouldn't sleep together in the same bed tonight, he was allowed to have his space.

She decided to watch a little more tv before going to bed.
