The Secret Social Life of Dr. Spencer Reid Chapter 12
…
"Are you still coming out tonight to the movies?" Lindsey asked Spencer. Kathryn, Reid, Lindsey and Lucas were supposed to be going out together – they did it at least once a week since they were 18 whenever possible.
"That's tonight?" Spencer asked, a worrisome expression plastered on his face. Kathryn ground her teeth together before dignifying him with a very sarcastic reply.
"What. You actually forgot – Mr 187, eidetic memory forgot? Let me guess, you're blowing us off because you've made plans with Nichole? That must be it."
"Don't tell me you're jealous? Seriously? I'm with her, I can't just break up with her – she's a nice girl and if you gave her a chance you might actually like her." He received an eye roll.
Lucas kissed Lindsey before deciding to put an end to this argument. "Kathryn, get over it. The man can't make it. Spencer, be sensitive – you're getting a little mean these days. Fact of the matter is is that you don't exactly have time for us anymore, you've 'forgotten' about the last three times we've been out. We're happy that you have a girlfriend but you ought to get your priorities right man. OK you have a girlfriend, but usually you wouldn't ditch us, you never have for a girl before. This Nichole must be hella' special if you're willing to blow off your friends for her." His wife shut him up by clamping her hand over his mouth. Men were such idiots sometimes. Sure everything he said was true but Spencer could be a little bit temperamental sometimes, and she was pretty sure this was one of those times.
"I haven't changed, I just have a girlfriend. I don't get what the problem is. I still hang out with you gu-" He was interrupted by a light knock on the door.
"You'd better get that, it'll be the oh so precious Nichole." His best friend stated, furiously flamed sarcasm dripping through her voice. The genius ignored her, instead opting to answer the door. Nichole. He didn't say anything, just kissed her – full on kissed her – grabbed his coat and left, slamming the door behind him.
Kathryn sighed as she sat down opposite the married couple who were wrapped up around each other. Truth was, she missed Spence. Ever since he confessed to her that he loved her, he'd been distant and avoided her. Even on cases he would only talk to her about the case and then rush away when she tried to have an actual conversation with him. At home he wouldn't say good morning to her or make her coffee, he didn't even hug her anymore. She didn't know if it was because she didn't say it back or because of Nichole but he was fine after he told her so she had no idea why he was being so awkward now. Seeing Lindsey and Lucas just made it worse, she wanted what they have, just with Spencer. Just because she didn't say those three words doesn't mean she doesn't feel it. She gets the butterflies, he makes her happy, makes her cry, makes her feel; everything. She didn't understand how she could feel so much, how she could hate him just as much as she cared about him. Was it really her fault that she couldn't say it?
"So." Lindsey began, mostly to break the awkward silence that had seeped into the atmosphere. "Are we gonna stay in, get chocolate, sweets, ice-cream and popcorn with a bottle of wine and watch films?" When she only got a blank stare from the addressee, she decided to just do it – she'd managed to make herself hungry anyway. Reluctantly, her husband released her from his arms, not before giving her a kiss and slapping her ass as she walked away, eliciting a giggle from his wife.
"Wow. Thanks for that. I'm scarred for life." Kathryn told the pair, suddenly out of her daydreaming state. After being told it was her own fault for not replying she just sighed and began going through her DVD's. "The Notebook. Scott Pilgrim vs The World. Scary Movie or Scary Movie 2. Date Movie. Miss Congeniality. Interview With the Vampire. Knight and Day. Mr and Mrs Smith. Oh or Grease, Dirty Dancing, Ghost or Pretty Woman."
"Dirty Dancing!" The blonde shouted from the kitchen.
"Why not Scary Movie or Scott Pilgrim vs the World. Chick flicks. Honestly? The only reason guys put up with these films is cos they think they'll get laid after. And I can tell you now, I am not getting any tonight." Lucas really was one to tell all. He doesn't like to hold back information regardless of who he was talking to. It was amazing actually that Lindsey's been able to put up with him all this time. He was a lovely guy and perfect for her but he was the over-sharing type. At one point he decided to tell Kathryn and Spencer about when he lost his virginity to Lindsey. Unfortunately, it was in detail – a lot of it. His wife was beyond embarrassed and way past furious. If they weren't married then she may have considered walking away from him. That's love though apparently, they say that if you're truly in love then you can look past stuff like that, get past arguments and stay strong. If you're meant for each other then there's nothing that can break you apart, no matter how much of a prat their lover is.
…
Three movies later – at about 1.30 in the morning, Reid slipped through the door. Lindsey and Lucas had left at 11 because their daughter had a nightmare and really wanted her mummy and daddy. This left Kathryn alone but she, after watching Knight and Day, decided it was best to just go to bed. The lounge was a mess, the mass amounts of food they'd had was pretty much demolished – all of the junk food in the apartment had all been eaten; almost. He decided to let his roommate clean it up because she made the mess. The young man was debating whether to just go to bed or wake his best friend up to apologise to her for being such a prick to her. He chose the latter.
He silently entered her bedroom and sat on her bed before shaking her slightly. Turning on the lamp on her bedside table he started to call her name.
"Spencer?" She asked, dis-oriented from her being woken up. She looked up at him groggily before turning to the alarm clock that was placed next to her. "It's 1.45 what the heck is so important it can't wait til morning?"
"Well technically it is morning." He replied with a nervous laugh. "I'm sorry. The way I've been acting recently is silly and immature and I'm sorry."
Sitting up, she grabbed hold of his hand and kissed it before kissing his forehead. "It's ok. I'm sorry too." They were searching into each other's eyes for a moment before they lightly pressed their lips together. It got desperate pretty quickly – full of lust and longing. He pushed her back lightly until she lay back on the bed, their lips never separating. She wound up un-tucking his shirt, unbuttoning it as quickly as she could. He proceeded to shake it off before getting her out of her top. She wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him impossibly closer as he clasped one hand in her hair, the other firmly on her waist. She rolled them over so that she was above him, kissing his neck, down his toned stomach to the waistband of his trousers. She smiled up at him before removing his belt, undoing the button and zip to his trousers agonizingly slowly. Once they were out of the way, he took control once again, getting rid of all clothes still in their way. That night, they made love; it wasn't just sex, it meant something to the both of them. Well, the first time. Soon after, they decided to go for round two, and three and these were less 'making love' and more exploration and fun. She had only ever slept with him and vice versa. That's the way they'd always wanted it to be, they fell asleep together – Spencer holding her in his arms. She felt safe and loved for the first time in a long time; their worries forgotten.
