Chapter Thirteen: Woman of Mass Distraction

Friendly faces smiled and waved hello, the atmosphere bright to go along with the unusual warm weather for it being winter season. The friendly atmosphere covered up the bleak events and odd reunion that occurred a few weeks ago. The world never stopped spinning and people never stopped acting the way that they did, eating, sleeping, going to work, and interacting with people. Life went on.

Life did go on; especially at the BAU where all the people there were use to going back to the norm after odd things happening. Besides, it was none of their lives; it didn't affect them at all. There were other mysteries to be solved and the work never ended. Besides the fact that, the events turned out pretty ok, even though there was a murder, there was forgiveness, ends tied, and a reunion.

The only one that felt affected by all the events that happened a few weeks ago was a certain doctor. The certain doctor that even though a close friend to the adventurous girl, also her admirer and once in a while her lover. Being as close of friends as they were, it was sad that she didn't open up that much to him, though as understanding as he is, he wished he was prepared for all of it. Prepared for bisexuality and prepared to shake hands with the man who so long ago took that girl's affection to his advantage.

Walking into a local small grocery store, he took note that it was a bit odd. She always talked about that man in a low way, him being a woman user and everything and breaking her slightly. Why did she act so happy to see him? In a way, he guessed that she was trying best to be a big person, she was an adult and able to deal with on flings better then she was able to as a teenager. It was in the past and since she had made amends with her best friend/ex-girlfriend, the same had to go for all.

"Um, I'll buy a pack of Marlboros Menthol." Dr. Spencer Reid stated to the older Indian man on the other side of the counter.

The man took a moment took a moment to look the skinny man over, getting a pack and ringing the cigarettes up along with a bottle of Snapple, "Excuse me, son, but, no offense, you don't look like a smoker."

It was funny, he didn't know why it put such a smile on his face, "I'm not, I'm meeting a friend for lunch and she's the smoker."

Giving the doctor his change, the older man smirked, "Oh? A girl? I wish I was young again."

It was with this comment that the smile faded, "It's not like that."

It's not like that. Those were the words that came out of his mouth. But they weren't the words that were circling in his head. In his head, thoughts were a jumble. He thought about how great her smile was, her humor, how full of life she was. She was witty and smart, able to entertain him yet also hold a good conversation. Even with the bad past, just talking to her and having her friendship brightened up his day.

Not to mention the fact that she was gorgeous. That long black hair, almost with a hint of blue in it to make it shiny. He loved pushing the strands of hair away from her face, wanting to see those beautiful green eyes. With a lean figure, it was also something to be lustful for. Under those cloths was a dangerous body, experienced with piercings and tattoos. He was glad he had the opportunity to lose his virginity to a woman like that.

As he drove to the nearby outside café he was meeting her at, he sighed. Even though he enjoyed the time with her, it was also sorrowful. Meeting Skyler and Damien were like reminders to the fact that she was so fucked up that relationships, boyfriends, and dating were out of the question. She was scared, but she would never allow herself to go through all that heartbreak again. In a way, he dealt with it; he never came out and said anything but she knew they way he felt. He just sucked it up, happy with what they had, whatever their crazy friendship consisted of.

Bonnie Deville, formally Valentino, patiently sat at one of the tables outside the small café that she frequently met Spencer at. It a very nice place, serving excellent coffee and all sorts of wraps. It was a nice place to either spend inside or outside, to catch up with friends. Or where Morgan frequently offered to take her out to coffee, an offer she had yet to except. But she waited for him, only there for a few minutes, smiling once she saw him emerge from his car.

The doctor gently dropped his messenger bag on the floor, sitting in a chair across from the young assistant, "Hope I didn't make you wait long."

"I know, I was very disappointed, I don't think we can do this anymore." She giggled, seeing the shocked look on Reid's face.

He shook his head, running his fingers through his hair, "It feels good to have a day off, things were getting a bit hectic."

"I can imagine, the paper work is really piling up. I technically should be there overtime that's how much there is."

"You deserve today."

"Not as much as you do."

Spencer sheepishly shrugged, placing in his orders with a waitress that walked by, Bonnie doing the same. Once this was done, he turned back to her, "Does it seem weird to you? How warm it is?"

Bonnie laughed and nodded, pointing to the flimsy jacket she had on, "I was really looking forward to snow. I'm still such a kid."

"I can imagine." He muttered, laughing after seeing the look on his female friend's face.

"I hope we have a snow storm so I can pelt a snowball at your big-ass head."

Looking over, the doctor stated, "That was uncalled for."

The two laughed, knowing neither was serious. Her laugh was so nice to his ears, her chin resting in the palm of her left hand, "So what'd you do last night?"

His coffee was served, him preparing it while replying, "I got home late last night, as you said there's been a lot of paper work lately, even for me. I watched a little TV when I got home, they had a special on Benito Mussolini that I watched. Very informative, I was really impressed," After receiving a look from Bonnie, he laughed while going on, "Then I went online and looked at pet stores before going to bed."

"You miss Oreo, huh?"

"I do."

Bonnie reached over and gently brushed her finger tips against his hand, him shrugging to try and keep the mood up, "How about you?"

"Skyler came over, she um, brought a few photo albums. It was real rad, seeing us. I forgot what it was like being 15, 16. The whole high school shit. Funny, those years really weren't about school," Bonnie laughed, "I got into fights, because people knew about me and Skyler, even after we broke up. But, I drowned that out by constantly surrounding myself with friends, bands, music, drugs. I went to Catholic school, how the hell did I not get kicked out."

Spencer laughed, God Bonnie in a Catholic school uniform? But he didn't say anything, hearing her go on, "I was the first one out of the four of us to get a car. My parents, they really didn't give a shit. I got this beat up fucking Cadillac when I turned 16 so I could get the hell out and they could concentrate on their other kids."

"You don't talk much of your sisters."

"They weren't even like sisters to me," Bonnie shrugged, "Skyler was my real family. I slept over her house five days out of the week practically, I called her parents 'mom' and 'dad'. They loved me and accepted me. I mean, I love my parents, fucking first generation Americans both of them. It was a funny household, screaming Italian back at each other. They love me, but they weren't use to the path I went down. Besides, I was so fucked up back then I can understand why they put all the concentration on Sabrina and Vittoria. Now, I have a better relationship with them then my sisters do."

Smiling, the doctor commented, "Must had been an experience."

Bonnie laughed and nodded, fishing through her purse as she cursed silently to herself, her pack of cigarettes was empty. Seeing her frustrated triggered his memory, fishing through his messenger bag to pull out the box of cigarettes and pass it to her. Her green eyes blinked, "You bought me a pack?"

He shrugged, "Figured you were out."

"I'm trying to quit." Bonnie admitted sheepishly while packing the box before opening it and placing one between her lips. Once her lighter was located, she lit the object and breathed in the smoke. It was nice of him, sure it wasn't a good habit but it always paid when you met someone who excepted your bad habits. Besides, he knew she was lying, she always told him she was quitting but it never happened.

As the two chatted it away, Bonnie thought about the conversation her and Skyler had shared last night. It was nice having her over, talking about old times. Her best friend really missed Steel. After the two female's break up, Skyler never really gave her heart to anyone else even though she had many boyfriends and girlfriends afterwards. When Steel came into the picture, Skyler fell head over heels and it was nice to see her friend happy again.

Bonnie was happy when she dated Skyler, but after two years she realized that bisexuality wasn't for her. Skyler was her best friend and yes they did sexual things together, but to her it just felt like a really close friendship. When it was time to tell her that, it broke both their hearts because Bonnie knew what she was doing. But, they got past that and it was just good to have her friend back.

As they flipped through the books last night, she remembered Skyler suddenly bring up the subject of Spencer Reid. "So he's a doctor?"

"Yes, he's our age it's really funny how I've surrounded myself with such different people then I did years go."

Skyler laughed, "From what I've seen, he's nice. Really shy, did you bite his head off or something?"

This of course received a slap on the shoulders, "He's honestly my best friend there. He's just so nice."

"But you've slept with him."

"It's not dirty, he was a virgin, Sky."

"You must really like him."

"I don't attach myself that way anymore."

She could remember seeing Skyler frown as they both lit up their cigarettes, "Bonnie, you haven't had sex since Damien when you were 17. That was seven years ago. For you to have sex with another man, he must mean something to you."

"I can't break his heart and mine isn't repaired yet. I would never be in a condition to get into a relationship. Besides, I'm just the girl that introduces him to sexual activity, he'll probably go for a lawyer or another doctor soon. I don't do dating, remember?"

"Maybe it's time to throw out that idea, from what I see, he's not just sticking around because you're a good fuck and he likes your pierced nipples. I can see that he likes you. He's a good guy, maybe it's about time you get one of those."

"Bonnie?"

Snapping out of her daze, she tilted her head as Spencer pointed to the waiter standing next to them, "Food's here."

The two spent maybe another hour there before splitting the check, Bonnie had smoked two more cigarettes in that time. Spencer talked to her about getting another cat, though he didn't know what kind he should get. It was nice, refreshing as the two stood up and made way for their cars, Bonnie turning around and leaning up to kiss the doctor's lips gently, "See you at work."

"See you at work, Bonnie."
