I'm a little early but oh well! Here's the latest chapter! Hugs and kisses to you all!

For my last day here, JJ was able to get me a visitor's pass to get into the BAU building. I was very excited to see where JJ worked and what the building was like. I made sure to dress professionally with a pastel pink button down and some kakis. It wasn't much different than when I got to work in Seattle. After JJ gave her approval of my outfit and Henry was with the sitter, we made our way to the BAU office.

I had to go through a few more security measures to gain entrance, even with the visitors pass, but it was worth it. The building was bigger than I imagined and I was completely in awe of it. It is definitely a place I would love to work one day.

Rossi and Hotch were already in their offices, doing their respected paper work. There was no active case going on so today was just a filing and formality day. Fine with me.

"When will the others get here?" I glanced at the clock, noting that it was already half past eight. It seems like more people should be here by then besides us, Rossi, and Hotch.

"Reid, Morgan, and Emily will probably get here soon. Garcia usually comes in closer to nine. As long as everyone makes it here by ten there's really no issues when we're just doing paper work." JJ unlocked the door to her office as she spoke. I looked around. It was nice. There were a lot of files around. JJ had also decorated her desk with pictures of her family. Mostly of Henry. There was a group photo from a couple years ago that I was in.

"Hey! I made it to your desk." I picked up the framed picture and smiled. Even though it was only two years ago, I feel like I've grown and changed so much since then.

She smiled. "You did. I really love that picture. We should take family pictures more often."

"I do too. It's almost like we're a happy family," I joked which got a smile out of her. "But I agree. We need more family gatherings."

A few minutes later, Emily came in. She went straight to Hotch's office. I was going to keep watching to see when she would come out but I didn't want to be that weird so I sat down.

Within ten minutes of Emily coming in, Morgan sauntered in. "Hey, Little Miss Lila, fancy seeing you here." He was leaning on the door frame and flashed his dashing smile. I couldn't help but smile as well.

"I'm infiltrating the BAU," I quipped with a laugh.

"Well this is the best infiltration we've had. Reid will be here in a few minutes. I saw him walking up as I entered. Just thought you would want to know." He winked at me as he walked off, presumably to his own space to do paper work.

"Ha ha, very funny," I said even thought I knew he couldn't hear me.

Just as Morgan said, a few minutes later I saw Spencer walk into the building and take off his coat. I watched him, feeling slightly creepy, from JJ's office. "You can go say 'hello'. I'll be fine here." I glanced over at JJ and she smiled at me.

With a sigh, just to be annoying, I left her office and went down to see Spencer. "Hey, Spence," I said cheerfully as I approached him. He looked up at me and his eyes lit up. I smiled.

"Lila, I wasn't expecting to see you here." He sounded more confident talking to me than he has in the past. I took that as a good sign. He sat down at his desk but kept his eyes on me.

"JJ got me a visitor's pass to come to work with her today. She thought I'd like to see the place so obviously I said yes." I leaned against his desk, taking it all in. "You have a lot of books here."

"I do a lot of reading," he said matter-of-factually. That was pretty obvious. He has multiple Phd's from what JJ has told me. You have to be well read to achieve all that.

"I can see that, Doctor." I smiled at him and he smiled back.

"Lila!" I looked up to see Penelope running towards me. "JJ said you would be coming to work today and here you are!" She hugged me and I noticed Spencer watching curiously. "You have to come up and see my lair. It's the best place here. Sorry, Lover Boy, you can have her back later." I saw a bit of color cross his face at Penelope's comment but he didn't say anything. He just gave a little wave as Penelope dragged me off.

She wasn't lying when she said that her, as she called it, lair was the best. There were at least four or five computers around the walls which was more than I'd ever seen designated for one person. But what really made it great was how she decorated. There were pinks, and purples, and all types of little knickknacks scattered around her desk. The lair just reeked of her personality. "I love it, Penny," I said as she made herself comfortable in her big chair.

"Thank you, Dolly! I knew you would like it! Pop a squat. Hang with me for a bit. Then you can go back to being all flirty with Boy Genius." I laughed as I sat down next to her.

"I literally only had the chance to say hi to him before you came and dragged me away."

"Sorry," she said and it sounded like she only half meant it. "I just wanted you to come up and hang with me. And Reid is always the first person done with his stuff. You can go get your flirt on when he's done."

I laughed. "It's fine, Penny. I don't care. I love hanging with you."

The two of us sat around and talked while she was on her computer doing…something. I'm not sure what it was even though she had explained it to me more than once. It went right over my head. While we were talking, I got a text from Ben. "Hey, Penny, Ben just texted me. Listen to this. 'Hey, hon,' don't fucking call me that, we broke up. Anyways, 'hey, hon, when are you coming back to Seattle? Miss you.' What do you make of that?"

"I'm not sure. I need more. What are you gonna say?"

"'I come back tomorrow afternoon and I come back to work the next day' Send. Now we wait." I was suspicious as to why Ben was texting me and being all sweet about it. I didn't trust him. I feel like this is a ploy to try to sleep with me again but I'm not sure.

"What do you think he wants?" She asked me, turning her back on her computer.

"I don't know. Oh! He responded. 'Ok cool. We should hang when you get back. Maybe a movie or coffee or whatever you want.' What? We broke up. This is weird. 'I thought you didn't have time for me anymore.' Send."

"He sounds weird," Penny said and I agreed with her. "I don't trust him at all."

"Oh! Here's his response. 'I said I didn't have time to date. I can still hang out and chill.' Okay, that sounds suspicious as fuck. What do you think he means by that? Is he trying to get back together with me? Sleep with me?"

"I'm not totally sure, boys are always such a mystery, but I think I know someone who will." She snatched my phone from my hand and walked straight out of her lair without waiting to see if I was coming too. Obviously I got up and was right on her heels as she marched on. Morgan and Spencer were talking over by Spencer's desk. I couldn't hear what they were saying but they stopped when they saw us approaching.

"My lovely Derek Morgan," Penelope said as we got closer. "You are a male."

"Indeed I am," he said, sounding very confused.

"Good. As a male, we need your help." Penelope stopped just in front of them, still holding my cell phone.

"You know, I'm a male too," Spencer said, looking between the three of us.

"Yes, you are, my Boy Wonder, but I think Morgan is gonna have a better insight on this issue. Lila's ex has been texting her and we wanna know what his motives are." She handed him my cell phone. He looked at me and I nodded my approval before he took it from Penelope. "Decode the cryptic male language, my love."

"Back story," I said so he would know everything. "Ben, my ex, broke up with me a couple weeks before I came out here because he says he doesn't have time for a relationship anymore. Then he was asking me to fuck him. I turned him down. Now he's texting like he wants to get back together."

Morgan looked over the conversation I was having with Ben and chuckled softly to himself. "Did you flat out turn down his advances for sex?" I nodded. "He's just trying a new approach. He's trying to lead you to think that he wants to still hang out and what not but he's still trying to get you in bed. I guarantee if you met up with him, he'd put the moves on you."

"What a loser," I said as I took my phone back. Part of me knew that had to be the case but part of me didn't want to believe it. "I should have figured that, but whatever."

"How old is this guy?" Morgan asked.

"He's almost twenty-eight."

Derek gave a small laugh. "He's in his late twenties and he's still pulling this bull shit? Lila, you can do so much better than this fool. Don't waste your time with immature men. You deserve someone who will treat you like a queen."

I smiled. "Thanks, Derek."

"Can I see the texts?" Spencer asked a bit timidly.

"Knock yourself out," I said and gave him my phone as well. Can't hurt to have another opinion on the matter. Sure, he's not the most competent when it comes to relationships but he is a genius. Maybe his book smarts will come in handy for this.

I watched as Spencer's eyes raced across my phone screen. A lot faster than Derek's did. I didn't think much of it until I saw him start to scroll through more than just the current messages. It didn't dawn on me how fast he was reading and how far back he was going until it was too late. "Oh!" He quickly dropped his eyes and handed me back my phone, his cheeks red again. So were mine.

"What? What happened?" Penelope looked between Spencer and me, obviously curious. Derek was eyeing us as well.

"Spencer went back a little too far," I said, glancing at my phone to double check. "Yep, he saw some pictures he should not have."

"Oh," Penelope said and I could tell she was feeling the second hand embarrassment.

Morgan just chuckled. "Smooth move, Reid." He playfully elbowed him.

"I'm so sorry, Lila. I didn't mean-" He started to apologize but I cut him off by holding up my hand.

"Please don't worry about it. I should have said something before just handing over my phone and letting you scroll through my texts with my ex. I just didn't think you would go through them that fast."

"I can read 20,000 words a minute," he said sheepishly.

"That explains it," I said, putting my phone in my pocket. "But honestly, don't worry about it." I smiled kindly at him.

"Reid, Morgan, Garcia, Lila." We all turned our attention to Rossi who was talking over to our little group. "I found a new recipe online and I need someone to try it out on. Dinner at my house tonight at eight."

"We'll be there, sir," Penelope said and practically dragged me away with her. "What did Reid see?" She whispered to me as we walked away.

"My tits," I squeaked back. She started to laugh. "Penny, it's not funny," I said but couldn't help but laugh too.

"Think he liked what he saw?" she asked as we entered her space again.

"I mean, obviously. I have nice tits." This made us both laugh.

There you have it! Next chapter will be up either Sunday or Monday depending. Hope you enjoyed it!
