*Spencer's POV*

I walk into the bullpen with a smile on my face walking to my desk, I set my worn out messenger bag on the side of my desk as I sat down. Although I was a bit nervous since I was taking Mia out to dinner today and I still didn't know where to go. I went on my computer to see if there were any restaurants around here. Three possibilities a really fancy restaurant that is very expensive, a small sit down restaurant within my budget, and the café that we went for lunch yesterday. I was still thinking when Elle came up from behind me; I didn't even realize that she was reading my screen until she asked me a certain question.

"So you and Mia, huh?" Elle teased.

"Morgan told you?" I asked.

"He didn't have to tell me" Elle stated, "I saw the look on both of your faces on the train last week. Even though you were both in great danger you still expressed feelings for each other"

"I still can't believe that it was only a week"

"Take her to the sit down restraurant, its small probably quiet enough for the both of you to talk to each other"

"Thanks"

Elle went to her desk across from me and was packing up some of her stuff. It seemed odd to me since Elle rarely leaves the bullpen for lunch.

"Going someplace special?" I asked her.

"What?" Elle asked back.

"You rarely leave the bullpen for lunch"

"Well Mia invited me to have lunch with her and her friends"

"Really?"

"Jealous, Reid?"

"No!"

"Don't worry Reid, I'll have her back before 2" Elle joked as she left laughing.

I went back to my screen still searching up more restaurants I found the perfect one but I hoped that Mia would love it. I continued to go back to my paper work until I got a call. I answered my phone and smiled as I recognized the voice over the phone.

"Hey Spencie" It was Mia.

"Hey Mia" I answered.

"What you up to?"

"Just work and you?"

"Walking to my car to meet up with the girls for lunch"

"Ah, yes, Elle told me about that already"

"Well I would've invited you but we are going to be seeing each other tonight"

"And I will be picking you up at 7, if that's okay?"

"That's great I get off at 6, so it gives me a chance to go home and get ready, speaking of which where are we going?"

"It's a surprise"

"Aww, not even a little hint?"

"Nope"

"Then how will I know what to wear?"

"Good point, just dress up a bit but not too fancy"

"I can't wait, well I got to start driving already or the girls will put a missing persons report on me"

I chuckled, "I'll see you tonight"

"Bye Spencie"

"Bye Mia"

I hung up with a smile on my face; I was so wrapped in my thoughts that I didn't even hear Morgan and JJ come from behind me.

"What you thinking about, Lover Boy?" Morgan joked.

"C'mon Morgan leave him alone" JJ told him.

"I'm just messing' with him" Morgan ruffled my hair.

"Restaurants to go on the first date" JJ read my screen.

"What?" Morgan asked and looked at my screen, "You finally asked Mia out"

I looked down, "Yeah"

"Congrats Reid, it's about time you get out"

"Very funny, Morgan"

Morgan gave me a small slap on the back and laughed, "Alright Romeo, we'll leave you to finish whatever you were doing"

"I'll try to make sure that there aren't any cases tonight" JJ told me and she wrote down a number then gave it to me, "Try this restaurant, I'm sure Mia will love it"

"Thanks JJ" I smiled.

They both smiled at me as they walked away, I turned back to face my desk and dialed the number of the restaurant. After the reservations are done I saw Morgan walk to him desk with a cup of coffee in his hand. I realized that I didn't have a car to pick up Mia in unless she wanted to drive or take the subway.

"Morgan" I called to him.

"What is it, Reid" Morgan asked.

"I just realized that I don't have a car to pick up Mia in"

"Doesn't she have a car?"

"Yeah but I don't want her to use it"

"Oh I see, you want to be a respectable gentleman"

"Yes, what do I do?"

Morgan tossed me his keys, "I'll let you borrow my car for tonight, but I want it back tomorrow without a scratch"

"But how will you get home or get here tomorrow?"

"I'll have Elle drive me"

"Thanks Morgan"

"Go get 'em Tiger"

*6 hours later* *Mia's POV*

I walked in my house to be greeted by my Siberian Husky puppy Felix. After I fed him I hopped in the shower taking a quick one. Once I got out of the shower I started to towel dry my hair when I heard the phone ring which made Felix bark, I put on my rope and ran to my phone. I looked at the caller ID and sighed as I answered the phone.

"Yes, Janelle?" I answered.

"What? No hello for your prima?" Janelle asked sarcastically.

"Hola Janelle" I said in Spanish.

"Buenas tardes, Mia" Janelle told me good afternoon.

"What do you need because I'm kind of in a hurry"

"Oooo, where are you going?"

"You do realize that you sound like a teenager right?"

"I'll always be 16 in my heart"

"And even as a 26 year old your still give our abuela heart attacks"

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"That you're still my immature cousin that I love"

"Whatever! So where are you going in such a hurry?"

"I have a date"

"With who?"

"Spencer"

"Dios Mio! I knew it that you two were perfect to be together!"

"Por favor Janie, I don't want to be deaf before I leave"

"Alright, alright I get the hint; I'll let you get dressed now"

"Gracias"

"Adios prima"

"Adios Janelle"

I hung up my phone with a small smile on my face and I went back to the bathroom and started blow drying my hair. After I finished drying my hair I went into my neutral colored room and tried to decide what to wear, I decided to choose the A-line elbow long-sleeved dress that flowed up to my knees, the dress wasn't too tight but hugs my curves perfectly. I picked out a cute pair of black heels and went back to the restroom to put on some light makeup. The doorbell rang that caused Felix to bark again, I looked at the nearest clock, it was probably my friend Priscilla since she's dog sitting for me. My heels clicked on my hardwood floor with every step I took to my door.

"Oh my God! You look so pretty!" Priscilla squealed once I opened the door.

"Thanks but I have no idea what to do with my hair" I told her as she walked through my threshold and Felix ran up to her jumping on her leg for attention.

"Hey Felix!" Priscilla cooed at him and scratched his head, "Well thank God I got here before he arrived, how long till he gets here?" She tucked her sandy blonde hair behind her ears and looked at me with her ocean blue eyes.

"20 minutes"

"That is just enough time for me to do my magic"

She dragged me to my bathroom and sat me on my toilet seat cover as she started brushing my hair and plugged in my curling iron. Once it was hot enough she curled my tips and then after a good while she got this paste from her bag that she said that she always uses to add volume to her hair. Then she clipped up my left side of my hair. Once she was done I looked at myself in the mirror and I didn't even believe that it was me in my reflection. I gave Priscilla a big hug and thanked her.

"It's no problem" Priscilla told me, "It's about time you go on a date instead of staying at the hospital 24/7"

"Isn't that what you used to do?" I asked sarcastically as we walked back to my living room.

"Until I meet Drew" Priscilla plopped herself on my couch and Felix jumped on her lap, she laughed and petted him while we continued talking.

"I think that all of the girls did the same thing until you all fell in love"

"Love can happen when you least expect it, I mean I meet Drew at a KFC, now look at us 2 years later and our love is still stronger than ever"

"True and look at Juana she's getting married next summer to Greg"

"I still call her a lucky bitch"

"Priscilla!"

"What? It's true, she's marrying a guy who's from Jolly ol' England"

"Jealous?"

"Extremely! She gets to wake up every morning to a guy whose ancestor probably wrote Romeo and Juliet"

"What about you? Drew is from Tennessee, he has his southern accent"

"And still gives me the chills every time he says my name"

"And here she is, Priscilla Peters, our crowned drama queen"

"Hey, don't sass me, it will happen to you too, maybe even with that Spencer guy"

"I hope so"

"Look at us, 4 years ago we were interns at the hospital, you were the youngest out of all of us and now you're the last to fall in love"

"I'm not in love yet Priscilla"

"But you will be"

The doorbell rang and Felix barked, Priscilla told me to go to the bathroom and wait there for a few minutes. I did as she said.

*Spencer's POV*

The door opened and instead of Mia answering the door it was a sandy blonde and blue eyed woman.

"I'm sorry did I get the address wrong?" I asked her, "I'm looking-"

"For Mia" The woman answered for me, "And no you didn't get the address wrong, give Mia a few minutes and she'll be right out. C'mon in"

The woman opened the door more so I could walk in the house, the house was beautiful inside the living room was a light brown color and the sectional was a mocha brown and the coffee table was also the same color. The bathroom door opened and a little Husky came running out and started barking at me.

"Felix! Calm down, he is a friend of your mommy" The woman cooed at the Husky.

"Are you Mia's roommate?" I asked.

"No, I'm dog sitting for her" The woman said, "I'm Priscilla" She extended her hand for a shake.

"Spencer" I shook her hand.

"Yeah, I know, Mia's talked all about you"

"And you've must be Priscilla Peters, the plastic surgeon?"

"That's correct, has Mia talked about us already?"

"Just that you and the other surgeons are all best friends"

"It's true, Mia was the youngest intern and the other girls and I were already in our mid-twenties as interns so we took her under our wings"

"How long have you and Mia known each other?"

"4 years, but I've known Olivia since we were in college"

"Which college did you go to?"

"Columbia Medical School"

"Wow an Ivy League"

"I was always the smarty pants in the family"

"I'm so sorry, if I'm a little late, I had to find my other earring" Mia said walking into the room putting on her other diamond stud in the middle of my conversation with Priscilla. One look at her and I thought she looked beautiful that I was speechless for a minute.

"What? Is it too much?" Mia asked.

"N-no" I stammered, "You look perfect"

Her cheeks went pink as she smiled at me, "Thanks again Priscilla" She gave Priscilla a hug and knelt down to Felix and scratched his muzzle, "Be nice with Aunt Priscilla okay"

We walked out the door and I saw that Priscilla mouthed something to Mia that made her scowl. Mia looked at me and smiled. She stopped when we got to the car.

"You have a car? I thought you told me that you love the subway" Mia said.

"It's Morgan's car" I said as I opened the door for her and she stepped inside. I walked around to the driver's side and hopped in the car then put on the seat beat and started the ignition. I looked over at Mia and she gave me a warm, glossy smile. I started to drive to the restaurant, it was quiet for the first couple of minutes, I looked at Mia through the rear-view mirror and she was biting her lower lip, she only did that when she was nervous.

"Are you nervous?" I asked her.

"Huh? No!" She said defensively.

"You bite on your lip when you're nervous"

"Oh" She gave a nervous giggle, "I guess old habits die hard"

"If you're too uncomfortable we could go some other time"

"No, it's okay, these are good nerves, not bad ones"

"You sure?"

"I'm positive"

We pulled into the restaurant parking lot, I got out first and walked to her door and opened it for her I held out my hand and she took it as she climbed out of the car. She wrapped her arm around mine as we walked to the restaurant. Once we walked in I told one of the hostesses that we had a reservation. She immediately sat us on a table with romantic lighting around us, she gave us our menus and had us order our drinks, Mia got a raspberry iced tea, and I got a regular iced tea.

"I just realized that this is the exact same restaurant that Juana has been begging her fiancée to take her since forever" Mia said looking at the menu.

"Why don't they come then?"

"Greg told her that Italian food makes him gassy" Mia giggled, "She literally dragged him to the ER to have me take a look at him"

(A/N: It's an Italian restaurant that they are in)

"Was there anything wrong?"

"Nope, I guess that Italian food isn't for everyone"

"So, how was your lunch with the girls and Elle?"

"It was amazing Elle fit in to our group, Kathleen and Noelle loved her the most, especially Kathleen since she's a brain surgeon and she's also into psychology, it felt like Kathleen and Elle would've talked for hours"

"No wonder Elle came back later than usual"

"I think we would've stayed later if we didn't get paged to go back to the hospital, there was a car accident and we needed to get there ASAP"

"Did everything turn out okay?"

"Yeah, everyone is fine but there was only one patient who died in the ambulance, Lisa was so mad at the paramedics for not bringing the guy sooner"

"What was wrong with him?"

"He had glass by his heart but I guess that the blood loss was too much and his body couldn't hold on anymore"

"That's so sad"

"It is, but you can't save everyone right?"

"True"

"Enough about me; tell me about your day"

"The same as usual today since there is no new case, just paperwork mostly"

"Well tell me about your past cases"

The hostess came back with our drinks, took out orders, and took our menus then left me and Mia alone so I could answer her. I told her about our past cases starting when Gideon came back to the BAU. Mia was fascinated by my every word. I stopped in the middle of me talking about the long distance serial killer when the hostess came back with our food. Mia a took a bite out of her food then looked at me.

"So as you were saying, did it turn out to be the surgeon Dr. Landman?" Mia asked then taking another bite of her food.

"It was a doctor but not him it was another one, Dr. Dowd, he had kept the whole hospital hostage, he even made Hotch kick me but Hotch only did it so I could get to the gun on his leg. The UNSUB was the first person I've ever shot at"

"Wow, that's scary, how do you all deal with all of that every day?"

"It gets overwhelming but you'll get used it afterward"

"It's fascinating though, you think that the world is perfect and that everyone is the same and normal but there are other people out there that need help and they don't know what they are doing"

"Which is why they hired me"

Mia smiled and she took her hand in mine, she squeezed it a bit before she started talking, "It's hard to believe that eight years ago we were like this. Do you miss the past?"

I put my other hand over hers, "I do miss it but I like this better"

A blush escaped from Mia's face as the hostess came back with our bill. I paid for the meal and left a tip for the hostess. Mia and I walked out of the restaurant hand-in-hand to the car, I opened her door and she got in. I walked around and got in the car and started driving off. After we were on the street, Mia's hands were on her lap wanting to be held, without thinking first I took her warm hand in mine, she looked at me shocked at first then she smiled at me and intertwined our fingers together. Even though the rest of the ride to her house was quiet, just holding hands said a million words. I pulled into her driveway and I got out of the car first then opened her door as she started to get out of the car. We walked hand-in-hand to her door.

"I had a great time tonight" Mia said as she smiled.

"So did I" I said, "I'll call you to see when we could do this again"

"I'd like that" Mia smiled at me.

I wanted to kiss her but I didn't know if she wanted to. I saw her get a little closer to me, I tried to get a grip on myself and not just go straight for the kiss. I leaned in closer to her and she leaned in more as well. Once our lips touched I could feel the chemistry between us, Mia had wrapped her arms around my neck and my arms snaked around her waist, we were kissing for a good couple of minutes but we had to break apart for air. Mia looked like she was away in another universe before she came back to Earth.

"Um…. I better get inside before Priscilla comes out and deliberately spy on us" Mia said.

"Yeah, I better get home too, we do have to work in the morning" I said.

"I'll see you soon?"

"Yeah, you will"

Mia smiled at me again and tiptoed to give me a quick kiss before she unlocked her door looked back at me and wave me goodbye and she closed her door. I walked back to the car with the tingle on our kiss still on my lips. I wanted to see her again…. Real soon.
