A/N: I know I said it would be a oneshot, bit several people asked whether I could write another chapter. Since I'd never decline a request like that I came up with another one. Hope you like...
She didn't tell him she would be at the bar. Not because she wanted to see him embarrass himself or anything, no. Emily just knew if Spencer would know she was there he would at some point give up or just go back to her all the time for more advise. It wasn't as if he was a quitter, no, he had just a hard time wrapping his mind around things he couldn't explain, that were irrational and unpredictable to him. Things like human behavior and girls.
It took her quite a while to find a seat that would hide her rather well in the crowd. The last thing she wanted was him seeing her in here and then maybe thinking she was here to make fun of him, when all she wanted was to see if any of her advice would work for him. The thing was that Spencer Reid in general was quite good looking and was adorable in many ways, but his impressive intelligence made him seem weird for most people. I probably wasn't easy to be that smart and try to find someone who would understand you and your ways. Girls back in High Scholl probably ignored him completely, not able to make any sense out of him. Yes, on several levels Spencer Reid's life was assumable a rather lonely one, with people marking his intelligence as weird.
Watching him now from her secluded seat in the back of the bar she had to realize that most of the girls Spencer tried to talk seemed not much interested in the beginning. But that changed rather quickly, with him doing what seemed like one of his magic tricks, a tip he probably had from Morgan. And it seemed to work, judging by all the laugher and smiles. In fact … watching him he seemed to look more excited than when he found solutions to rather complicated problems. He was actually enjoying himself.
There was a blonde he seemed to be rather interested in from all the girls that at some point pooled around him. And who would have thought that Reid could draw such a crowd? That was something she had been only used to from Morgan up until now. Maybe it was time to change her perception of her friend and credit him with way more than just his intelligence. Maybe she should keep an eye on him from now on. After all one notorious heartbreaker on the team was already more than enough for her to handle, no reason to add another one. Not that Reid would ever be like Morgan in regards of … girls, or rather conquests, but you never knew what could happen once he tasted blood. And for a moment she had to laugh, seeing that she came here just to make sure he was doing okay and now she actually saw him as a potential heartbreaker in the making.
As the evening went on it seemed like Reid started to get a hang of things, buying drinks for the blonde that had been by his side now the entire night. It was a mystery for Emily what they could possibly talk about. She just hoped it wasn't anything job related. Like cases or UNSUB's. Hours must have passed until Emily saw the blonde handing Spencer what seemed to look like a napkin, probably with her phone number on it, at which Reid looked rather surprised for a moment, before the Blonde leaned in, pressed a kiss on his cheek and left.
When she saw similar thing happening for a few more times, although not all of the girls went as far as pressing a kiss against his cheek, Emily had to realize that she really underestimated him, because sometimes … Spencer Reid could surprise you in most unexpected ways.
"That was easier than expected," he all of a sudden grinned at her, standing in front of Emily. And she could only laugh, although sure whether it was due to him knowing she was here or the fact that half his face was covered in lipstick marks. Oh yeah, sometimes he really could surprise you.
