Spencer walked into the BAU office and quickly put his stuff on his desk and sat down.
"Man, where have you been?" Morgan asked.
"Sorry, slept in." Spencer quickly lied. Why bother telling them about a girl it might not even work out with. 'I want it to work out.' He thought to himself.
"You're never late. You sure something's not up?" Morgan pressed, knowing Spencer good enough to know when he's lying.
"I'm feeling a bit sick, slept in. Won't happen again."
"You're just lucky Gideon isn't here yet." And with that Morgan went back to his desk.
Spencer quickly buried himself in paperwork.
Before Spencer knew it, the day had come and gone. It was 6 o'clock, and time for him to leave. He cleaned up his desk space, grabbed all his belongings and headed for the door. He stepped in the elevator. Garcia was already there.
"How's boy genius today?" She asked as the doors closed.
"Fine," He answered quickly.
He felt Garcia grabbed his arm.
"Is that a phone number?" She asked and looked up at him.
"No it's not." He said quickly. He pulled his arm back. The elevator came to a stop and as soon as the doors were opened, Spencer was out. He quickly walked out of the buildings doors' before Garcia could question him further.
Spencer walked into his apartment, making sure to lock the door behind him. Would it be too soon to call her? It had been about 9 hours. Was it too soon? What if it wasn't even her number, and that she was just messing with him. That's what happened, of course. No one would want to date someone like him. He was too skinny. Very pale, and had dark circles under his eye. No girl would even look at him twice. He wasn't Morgan. He was just….Spencer.
He figured he'd give it a chance. He dialed the number into his phone. He hit the green button and waited for the ring.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Hi, it's Spencer," He said nervously.
"Hey! I was just about to call you!" She said.
"You don't have my number…" He stated.
"Yeah, that was the problem," She said giggling. He smiled.
"I just wanted to see if dinner was still on for tomorrow…" He said.
"Of course it is," She said.
"Alright, is 7 okay?" He asked.
"Yes, 7 is perfect," She told him. She sounded excited, and, well, happy to be talking to him. That helped him relax.
"Great."
She gave him the address to her apartment.
"Goodnight Spencer," She said.
"Goodnight Caitlin," He said. He heard the other line click off.
She really did want to go on a date with him.
