Chapter Ten

"Why do I ever let you two talk me into this? That was horrible! My skin gets all wrinkly and the chlorine makes my hair fuzzy!" Bella moaned as they walked in the door of her apartment.

Rachel rolled her eyes dramatically, heading straight to the couch.

"Why exactly are you still coming then?" Lily asked, plopping down next to her.

Bella complained about the water aerobics every week.

"She's got a thing for the instructor" Rachel replied easily.

Lily giggled while Bella just shrugged.

"I always have had a thing for Italians" she agreed.

Tommaso, the hunky instructor was drop-dead gorgeous. From the first time Bella had laid eyes on him, she was enchanted. Not that you could really blame her. With his huge muscles and adorable accent, it was hard not to be attracted to him.

Rachel sighed loudly, drawing their attention to her.

"So.. There's this guy I wanna tell you about" she started, making sure they were both paying attention.

Lily raised an eyebrow.

"I met him last week at the bar" she continued.

Bella rolled her eyes.

"He isn't another one of those idiots that you 'date' for a week or two and then we hear nothing of after that, is he?" she asked.

Rachel chuckled slightly, shaking her head.

The whole time she was with friends with Bella and Lily, she had been single. Commitment really wasn't her thing. She was all for the occasional fling though. A bit of fun. So she could see why the girls wouldn't take her too seriously.

"No, he's- he's different. Very different" she ended up mumbling the last two words to herself.

"How so?" Lily asked softly.

Rachel shrugged, not really sure how to explain.

"He's shy for starters" she began. "And he's smart. Incredibly smart. He graduated high school when he was 12, you know. He's good looking but in a sweet, cute way. And he-"

"Wow" Bella cut her off quickly, smirking.

"What?" Rachel frowned slightly in confusion.

Lily rolled her eyes.

"You're totally into this guys Rach" she explained quickly.

"Though he does sound pretty amazing, so I can understand why. What's his name?" Bella added.

"Spencer" she replied softly.

They spent the next half an hour fully discussing Spencer. Analysing absolutely everything he had said or done since they had met. It wasn't long before both Bella and Lily were asking to meet him. Rachel had to explain to them about his busy work schedule. They were both very impressed that he was an FBI agent.

"Can we call him then at least? I'm sure he could take five minutes off to chat" Bella suggested excitedly, holding out a hand for her phone.

However Rachel shook her head.

"We really can't guys. He needs to work" she told them.

Bella sighed.

"Oh c'mon Rach! Five minutes that's all!" she begged.

After 20 minutes of arguing, Bella finally gave up.

And so the next hour passed by uneventfully. The three of them just sat around watching television. Rachel was almost sure that Bella had dropped the idea of calling him. That was until she went into the bathroom, leaving her phone unattended in her bag.

"Thanks baby" Morgan hung up the phone.

"Garcia's narrowing it down now" he added to Reid and Rossi.

Rossi headed out of the room to tell the rest of the team the recent developments.

Before Reid was given a chance to say anything, his phone rang in his pocket.

He slipped it out quickly, seeing Rachel's number. Should he answer it?

He started to worry then. After all he had left this morning without any notice at all. What if she was mad at him?

"You gonna answer that Reid?" Morgan asked, glancing back at him.

Sighing, he clicked answer.

"Hello?" he answered softly, hoping Derek wasn't going to overhear.

"Spencer? As in Spencer Reid?"

He frowned. That certainly was not Rachel.

"Emm, yes. Who's this?" he asked back.

"This is Bella. I'm just ringing to find out - what are your intentions with young Rachel?" her voice was so serious that it took him by surprise.

"My-My intentions?" he wasn't really sure what to respond to that.

He could hear Morgan chuckle from where he was writing on the board they had set up and he rolled his eyes.

"Yes , your intentions" she repeated.

"I-Uh-Uh-" he began stuttering.

Before he had a chance to think of an answer there was a yell of 'Bella' in the background and the phone went dead.

Morgan turned to face him, grinning.

"Women troubles?"
