Day 7.

Sunday mornings were one of the best things in the world. The end of the week always made Spencer Reid fill with joy, and today was no exception. Since yesterday a smile was planted on his face, and since then he felt as if for once everything was going right. Morgan kept the teasing up for about an hour on the phone before he could hang up on him.

The bell on the door rang once more, as a giant smile spread on his face. If he wasn't in a public place he would be whistling. His eyes glanced over at the counter and saw no Rica, but the new boy Calvin.

"Nica isn't here." Calvin smiled wide when he saw Reid come in. It was if he was expected, "it's her day off."

Reid tilted his head and pressed his lips together in a thin line.

"I forgot we have the same day off." He muttered, and glanced up at the boy.

Calvin just smiled real wide thinking he won for the day. The boy himself overheard Nica and this Doctor Reid talk about going on a date. Deep down inside it made him cringe.

"But, if anything sir I can get you something." His voice was too chipper for Reid.

"Can I just have a coffee with three sugars?" he asked. The smile he had was still imprinted in his mind, but for now he went back to his normal expression.

The order came and Reid actually paid for his drink. Slowly he walked out back into the bright blue morning and sat on the bench. He took a deep breath and felt the phone in his pocket vibrate. When he looked at the name Reid grumbled but picked it up. He thought the teasing would have ended but he was wrong.

"Yeah?" Reid answered with a monotone voice. Of all the things he wanted to do today, catering to Morgan's jokes were not one of them.

"Hey, Pretty Boy, calm down I guess Coffee Girl isn't there this morning huh?" Morgan chuckled.

"No, her day off."

"Here is some advice for you Reid, go home and call her. Nothing is going to be accomplished by you sitting there and doing nothing. Call her and ask her out for tonight." Morgan said.

For once Reid actually thought it was a good idea. Quickly he said his good byes to Morgan and started to walk to his car.

A couple of hours later, two book, and endless amounts of chess game he decided he should call her. His heart jumped wildly in his chest as he looked around biting his nails. All questions ran through his mind about what would happen if she would answer, or what if she would say no. At the same time he thought about how she did say yes and that she didn't say yes because she felt bad for him.

Reid felt himself shake and freak out. In his mind he started to think it was a bad idea. A moment later he took a deep breath and finally dialed the number. To his relief it went to voicemail, but at the same time he remembered about what she said about only turning her phone off when she was working.

"She must have got called in or something." He muttered to himself, and chewed on his bottom lip in thought. Too many ideas were bouncing around in his head that he didn't know where to start.

Quickly he ran to his laptop and googled the place to find out when it closed. He looked down at his watch and muttered to himself that he had an hour. This was the first time ever that Dr. Reid had no idea what to do in his head. This wasn't some math problem he could figure out by the drop of a hat or a new language he could master. To him this was an actual date, with a real girl who wasn't a victim or dead. So he called the only person he knew could help him,

"Morgan, I need your help!" Reid cried into the phone after Derek picked up on the second ring.

"Wait, calm down Pretty Boy, what is wrong?" He asked. In Morgan's mind something was seriously wrong.

"I called Rica er I mean Nica's phone and it went straight to voicemail. Now, she told me yesterday that she keeps her phone on all the time and when it is off she is at work. As you know I went in today and was told it was her day off. Now what do I do? Should I go there and pick her up or call her when she gets out, or sh—"

"Reid! First off calm down and take a deep breath." Morgan couldn't handle the rant any longer, but he tried not to laugh at the inexperience that was Spencer Reid, "So she is at work. Just go tonight and surprise her. I mean get some wine and show her a good time."

Reid pulled the phone away from his ear and looked down at it like it was a bug,

"Um, what do you mean show her a good time?" Reid asked.

"Oh Pretty boy I would tell you but that would take the fun out of it." Morgan chuckled.

"Um okay, well I think I may have an idea of what to do then." Muttered Reid.

Spencer said his goodbye and hung up. After he sat down on the couch and started to think about things he knew about her already. He remembered seeing a necklace that resembled a Freddy Kruger Claw and he assumed she liked horror movies. He knew she loved ice tea since she was always drinking it, and so far he just assumed that girls like all kinds of snacks.

Quickly the idea popped in his head and he grabbed his laptop and left the house. His first stop was a coffee place where he got himself a cup and grimaced by the taste and asked for asked for an extra cup. Next he went to a near by deli and got a bunch of snacks not knowing what she liked, as well as some kid of ice tea.

When he got back into the car he noticed that his hands were starting to sweat as he gripped the steering wheel. He glanced at the clock and took a deep breath. It was time. Never in his life has Spencer Reid ever felt this impulsive before and he didn't know if he liked it.

In five minutes he was in the parking lot of the coffee place and his heart beating so fast. The nighttime cloaked him in the darkness as he saw Rica through the window laughing and joking around with Calvin as they cleaned up. Reid bit his bottom lip as he felt like a giant creep, but he hoped that it would be worth it. He chuckled seeing her dance around with the mop, but it seemed at that point Calvin just wanted to go home and she wasn't letting it.

The lights were finally turned off and all Reid wanted to do was go back home, but no, he knew that he wanted to be there more to see her. He watched as Rica started to come out from the place, and Calvin went in the other direction.

The Doctor noticed the circles underneath her eyes that she tried to cover up with make-up. Black cargo pants hung very loosely on her hips, her dark blue tank top was snug just below her belly button, and black dirty flip flops adorned her purple toes. Her hair was a rat nest on her head and a black messenger slug around her body. Spencer finally got out of the car and moved to the front as she neared.

It was Rica's turn to look impressed and she was. The Doctor was right in front of her and she couldn't help the smile that crept on her face. She couldn't believe how impressed she was. Rica took off her heavy bag and crossed her arms over her chest. Reid fumbled a bit but pulled the cup of ice tea in the coffee up from behind him and handed it to her.

Her face scrunched up into a distasteful look, but she knew she didn't want to be rude. Slowly she took a sip, and noticed it was ice tea. Rica smiled and nodded her head,

"You are slick Doctor, but how did you know I was here?" she asked.

"You said that if your phone was off you were working." He muttered pulling some strands of hair behind his ear.

Rica nodded her head and gave him an impressed expression; she was surprised he actually listened to her when she spoke. He could have easily left a voicemail.

"Well it was my day off but someone called in sick for the close shift, and money is money."

Reid nodded and leaned on the car, his eyes darted all around the place except for her face. He couldn't face her even if she was the reason why he was there. Rica chuckled and pointed behind him to the snacks and goodies in the car,

"I see popcorn and snacks calling my name, but what is this for?" she asked. Rica knew this was his was of doing the date he asked her out on, and she was impressed that he was prepared, or tried to be.

The Doctor nervously got off the top of his car and fumbled through the things in the back. Lastly he got out the laptop and held it close to his chest,

"I noticed the necklace you wore yesterday was a claw from um, Freddy Kruger…so I thought you would like to watch it with me." He cleared his throat when he finished.

Rica felt as if her feet were cemented to the ground. That has by far been the cutest thing someone has ever asked her to do. Her face flushed a slight pink as she turned her head and chuckled to hide the embarrassment.

"You just keep on impressing me Doctor." She bit her lip and tried to hold the girlish giggle that wanted to come out.

Reid chuckled to himself and grabbed the laptop with shaking hands out from its case. This was considered his first real date with a girl and he felt so nervous about messing it up that he couldn't even talk. Rica grumbled next to him and rolled her eyes. She picked her bag back up and Reid couldn't help but to look at her with wide puppy eyes. All he could think was what did he do to blow it.

"Look, Doc, I know this is cute and all, and believe me I am so with this, but I don't want to have a date in a place where I don't like to be more than I have to." She stated.

"Well, I mean I need the wifi, and I thought it would be like a drive in movie or something." He muttered with a slight chuckle and flushed when he heard the word date out loud. His fingers couldn't keep still and one hand held onto the laptop and the other pinching nervously at his pant pocket, "I mean well, where would you like to go then?" he asked.

Rica smirked and nodded her head over for him to follow her. Quickly he grabbed the bag of snacks from his car and ran to catch up with her. Just across the coffee place there was a small park was where a jungle gym stood. The colored plastic slides and colorful bridges always made Rica smile. Back at home she didn't have anything like that, so when she found the place after her second day of work she started going there in her spare time when no one was around.

Reid couldn't remember a time when ever went on a jungle gym. Ever since he was small he was in school or reading or doing something else that required his brain. Rica smiled and jumped up onto the play area. She turned around to grab the things from the Doctor and giggled as he awkwardly climbed up the small steps. All he could think of was how he was too big for this playground.

Rica moved over to the rickety bridge and sat down. Reid went to say something about the Internet, but she was already on and on Netflix to the movie. As much as Rica was impressed by the way he was, Reid found himself more impressed by her. The Doctor sat down next to her, his feet dangling off the side of the bridge as he leaned back on the bars. He didn't feel safe, but what harm could be done when he was 3 feet off the ground.

Rica moved closer to him and opened up a bag of popcorn on her lap, and sipped on her ice tea some more. Reid felt her arm brush against his and he almost froze in place again. The sound of crunching calmed him down as he slowly let out a breath. He was being weird, and she could tell. Sometimes he swore that she could smell fear.

"First night of many." Rica smiled and raised her ice tea in a toast.

Reid smiled and leaned back on the bars again as soon as Rica put on the movie,

"Um, Rica, where did you get the internet from?"

"Hacked it from the person next door. I do it all the time." She said nonchalantly.

Reid bit his bottom lip as the movie started. At some scenes Rica jumped as well as Reid next to her. A few minutes pass as they sat in a comfortable silence. Her body shook slightly from the nippy weather. Reid felt her move and he turned to her only to get up and walk away.

When he came back he handed her a sweater from his car. Rica could feel her own face turn red. This was a first for her to have a sweater from a guy. She went back to eating, but couldn't help the overwhelming scent of Spencer. The barista nuzzled herself into the sweater,

"Thank you for this." She mumbled not paying attention to the movie any more.

Reid mumbled incoherently but it sounded like he was saying that it was nothing. The girl bit her lip and grabbed his face in her hands and made sure he was looking in her eyes. Spencer couldn't have felt anymore scared and happy all at the same time. Slowly her lips hovered over his, but she went in a placed a small kiss on the cheek.

"I don't kiss on the first date." She chuckled.

Reid nodded and pressed his lip together into a smile. She leaned back and snuggled a bit closer to him.

"Thanks again Spencer, and I mean for everything. I needed this." She muttered from the sweater. Her eyes didn't go back to the movie as they were stuck on his face.

Reid felt the familiar burn that came with Rica's looks. He slowly turned his head back down to her and smiled slightly,

"Well, I mean I wanted to do something fun." He cleared his throat, and went back to the movie.

Rica bit her lip harder and cursed herself in Spanish for what she was about to do.

"Spencer." She called.

Reid turned back to her with a raised brow. That was one of the first times she actually said his name. He felt his heart beat so fast she must have seen it through his chest. Slowly she moved closer to him till her lips pressed fully on his.

The kiss lingered for a moment till Rica was the one to break it. Instinctively her hand moved to her lips and her face flushed a deep red. Rica went against her word, but for some reason it just felt right.

Reid cleared his throat and Rica chuckled. The girl smirked and pressed her body next to his. Her head instinctively went down on his shoulder. Reid rested his head on top of hers and smiled, she didn't think this could get any better. The girl took a deep breath and looped her arm with his. Their hands connected, and Reid found his fingers laced with hers.

For a moment he felt himself at utter peace. No nightmare could get him now, and he felt that if he thought of this moment everything would be okay. Reid turned till his chin rested on the top of her head and whispered a small Thank you.

End of Day 7

THE END.
