Day 6.

All night he thought about it, and after all the teasing that Morgan put him through the day before he felt as if he had to ask her out. Reid felt his heart race as he walked into the shop. His car was getting fixed from the flat he got last night, but he thought of it as a blessing because when he took the train he felt as if he could think a bit more. Morgan called him right before he entered and told him he wanted something. Spencer didn't care; he was just in an amazing mood.

The bell dinged once more when he walked in. He felt as if it gave him a certain peace when he walked. The coffee smell always made him happy, and the warm atmosphere made him feel welcomed. This morning no one could put him down. His team finally caught the unsub and the case was closed. It was a good way to start his weekend off.

The Doctor tilted his head as he saw Rica behind the counter. His face grew into a small smile that he kept to himself. The confidence was there, but he was afraid it would disappear once he got too close.

Rica twirled her hair from underneath her hat as she looked down at the graphic novel in front of her. Reid cleared his throat as he pushed some loose hair behind his ears. He bobbed up and down on the balls of his feet. Now the nerves were kicking in.

Rica picked up her head from the noise and smiled as she saw the Doctor. Her eyes glanced over his body and she could tell he was nervous about something, but in her mind when was he not nervous or twitchy about something.

"Doctor." She smiled up at him, "Is it just you today or everyone? You seem like you are in a rush."

Spencer cursed himself out in his mind. His nerves tingled all over his body. Rica quirked a brow by the expressions on his face. He always amused her by the faces he would make.

"Well, Um, Rica…I was thinking we could talk again if that's okay?" his voice cracked midway through the sentence.

Rica's eyes lit up by the thought of not having to be behind a counter. Calvin was around, and the five regulars in the place sat contently sipping their coffee. Reid shuffled uncomfortably as Rica called to the back that she was taking a fifteen. The new guy Calvin came out with a giant smile on his face, but once his eyes connected with Spencer's it was quickly gone.

The Doctor felt his face quickly heat up by the intensity from the boy's glare, and as usual Rica paid no attention to him. The barista smirked at Reid, and took off the hat and apron only to jump over the counter. The five customers in the place glared and whispered to each other, but Rica paid no attention.

The two walked back out to the bench that he renamed in his mind as 'Rica's bench'. He sat down in front of her, as she craned her neck to reach the sun. It killed her when the sun would go down an hour early, and the trees loose their leaves. Even after five years of living here she still hated it.

Reid's foot tapped nervously on the ground, and his fingers wouldn't stop moving. He was not use to this kind of thing. Rica tilted her head as she looked at him. This is the most she has been with the Doctor, and for once she found someone that was not her cat to talk to about other things than what girls talk about. It was time though, and Reid finally thought he was ready,

"You know what, I told you about my life yesterday yet I have nothing on you. This is not fair darling. Like I said of couple of days ago, I know a name and a job…that's it. " Rica rolled her tongue as she said the words.

"There really isn't anything special about it me. I mean, I was born and raised in Las Vegas. I graduated High School at the age of 12, I have a I.Q of 187 and I can ready 20,000 words per minute." Reid said the words at rapid pace, which made Rica's eyes go wide,

"So you're not a medical doctor?" she asked,

"No, I have 3 PhDs." Reid smiled as if he felt proud of himself once more.

Rica pressed her lips together and pulled one side of her face into a smile. For all the things that made her actually blush this was very interesting. Reid took note of the expression on her face and his eyes started to dart around nervously,

"I just passed High School. Graduated when I was seventeen, worked for a year to save up my money and by the time I was eighteen I moved here. I mean there are other motives onto why I came to America, but that is for another time." Rica chuckled having found herself stuck in a memory that needed to go away

Reid felt himself once again embarrassed. It seemed that no matter what, luck was not on his side. The girl gave him a good laugh, which made him calm down slightly,

"Oh Doctor, you're making me feel dumb." She chuckled.

"I don't mean to make you feel that way…" he muttered, "I mean it is only a myth, but we only use 10% of our brains."

Rica chuckled by the statement and shook her head. The boy was supposed to be smart and he is talking about myths. This was the time, he had to do it now or he would never get the chance to. Reid opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by the sound of her phone. Rica looked down, and a smile grew across her face.

"Hola Mama!" Rica's voice became chipper by the minute.

Reid gave her a tilt of his head as she rattled off in rapid Spanish. For one thing he knew that she was talking to her mother, but what interested him the most was her facial expressions. Her eyes grew wide and glassy, a smile never left her face, and her fingers turned the small wooden band around her ring finger with rapid motions.

When Reid looked at this Rica in front of him, he could see the exterior that she kept up just melt away. Her hands moved in all directions as she spoke to her mother, and it amazed him that someone could be so full of expression. After five minutes Rica finally got off the phone, and quickly a tear forced its way down her cheek. It was so quick that all Reid noticed was that she wiped her face.

"I'm sorry about that, you wanted to talk to me?" Rica asked, and put the giant smile back on her face.

"Oh, yes um well I wanted to get to know you a bit more. I mean my case is over, and I was just wondering if yo—"

"Did muscles put you up to this?" she asked, the edge in her voice made him a bit worried.

"What, No, I mean he suggested it and—"

"So you wouldn't want to go out with me even if he didn't put the thought in your head?"

"No, I do, I mean that's what I'm trying to ask you." Reid stumbled all over. Part of him was starting to think that this was a bad idea.

Rica gave him a half smile, and leaned her chin on her hand. Reid got more nervous due to the giant puppy eyes he was receiving. The Barista bit her lip and waited in anticipation. She didn't know if this was going to be a good thing, or just a joke.

"Well Rica, would you like to go out with me one day?" Spencer asked with a coy smile.

"Why dear, I would be delighted." Her voice went up an octave.

Reid bit the inside of his cheek to hide the smile, and he knew if he told Morgan the teasing would never end. Now the question in Reid's mind was 'What do you do on a real date?' Of coarse the Doctor had seen movies, but movies weren't a real life. Rica cleared her throat, which brought him out of his trance,

"Come on, I got to get back. Is it just yours today or all?" she asked getting up.

"Just mine, I came in to ask you that question." Reid chuckled with an embarrassed tone.

Rica nodded and gave him a big smile. The Doctor got up as well and followed her inside. His smile disappeared when his eyes caught Calvin's. A part of him felt really bad that he asked her out of a date, and a part of him wondered if Calvin asked her out and she said no.

The girl came from the back and handed him his coffee. He could see the smiling that wanted to stay on her face, and it was obvious that the expression on his face was not going to leave any time soon,

"I guess we have a date then." She bit her bottom lip.

When the words were said Calvin's head perked up. His lips were drawn into a tight smile, and Rica didn't even look in his way.

"Um Rica, I don't mean to sound harsh or anything, but don't I need a number?" Reid asked.

Rica raised a brow and gave him an astonished look. Reid himself couldn't believe the words that were coming from out of his mouth. It felt like Morgan was the one that put the words right into his mouth.

"Well, someone is very bold. Just drink your coffee and you will have everything you need." Rica smirked.

Reid went to take out the money but the girl raised her hand,

"The date is payment enough."

Reid smiled by the word date, and nodded his head. He bounced up and down on the balls of his feet, and took a sip of coffee.

"I'll see you Veronica…" he muttered her real name. He could see the expression on her face as she was caught off guard.

"Call me Spencer Reid." She bit the inside of her cheek, holding back the fit of giggles that were hidden in her stomach, "By the way, I always have my phone on unless I am working."

Reid felt his face go red for what seemed like the fifth time. He walked out of the place feeling not only Rica's eyes on him, but Calvin's. It didn't matter, nothing at all for once he was happy.

Black ink caught his attention as he looked down at his hand. The shapes were numbers when he realized that Rica wrote her number on the cup. His eyes glanced back at the window, as he saw her laughing, and Calvin with a scowl on his face. All he knew was that Morgan wouldn't believe him.

End of Day 6.


So I hope this was good!
