The Secret Social Life of Dr. Spencer Reid Chapter 14

Thanks for all of the hits and reviews , alerts and favourites :D

I appreciate it

…

It'd been a week since Spencer had broken up with Nichole and he still hadn't told Kathryn, she'd asked but he refused to say anything about it. Now both of them were avoiding each other. One minute everything was perfect and the next, the next it was a complete disaster. Work was awkward and tense and everyone had noticed the change between them. Why did everything always have to be so difficult between them?

…

Spencer was already home and pouring coffee by the time Kathryn got home. It'd been a long day for both of them but she had decided to walk rather than catch a ride with him. That'd force them to talk and she didn't want to talk. It seemed kind of hypocritical that she had been upset with him just over a week ago for hiding stuff from her when she was doing exactly that. He knew something was wrong but refused to say anything due to how temperamental and difficult she could be.

"Coffee?" He asked as soon as he noticed her; they had to talk at some point. She just nodded and sat down opposite the genius. Setting down the mug in front of her, the man sat diagonally from her but close enough so that it wouldn't take any effort for him to hold her hand – to prevent her from leaving her seat if necessary. "What's going on with you? With us?"

Kathryn hesitated, she didn't want to say it, didn't want to admit it. "Nothing. It's all good." She cringed and frowned as soon as she said it. There was no way he was going to believe, or accept that answer. The pair looked away from each other, the young woman finding a new found interest in the plain red mug that was captured in her hands. Spencer glanced over at the coffee machine before shaking his head and looking back at her. There was only so much he could take. She was right when she told him that they had argued a lot more often, that they'd changed since they joined the BAU. That place, that job was a curse. No-body has a functional relationship and sooner or later it eats away at the relationship until there's nothing left to fight for. Maybe this was happening to them. Their chance had passed them by, it must have or there wouldn't be a problem with them now; before she joined his team they were fine. They were great. Perfect. Now they were falling apart, tearing at the seams and wasting away. The worst part of it all is the fact that there's nothing either of them could do, they could never go back to how it was before. Unfortunately, no matter how much he thought about it he just couldn't fathom where he went wrong; where they went wrong.

He sighed before continuing. He needed to know and the only way to do that was to push. "We both know it's not nothing, Kathryn. Just like we both know that there's something you're hiding from me."

She stared wide-eyed for a moment before gulping and taking a large drink of her coffee as though to prolong her reply. It was getting irritating for him. "I have a boyfriend." She looked at him briefly to gauge his reaction. To say that he was shocked was a definite understatement. She swore that she saw pain in his eyes, hurt and heartbreak. "I can't wait around for you forever, you have Nichole and I can't just have sex and come back to you while you date and be happy. I need to be happy too, Spence. I've waited 13 years for you and you've never noticed. Then we had sex and you went back to her; you rushed to her." The brunette woman looked away from him and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.

"I went out and told her." He told her, albeit a bit harshly, spitting out the words. He let out a humourless laugh at her apparent confusion. It was written so obviously on her face. "I broke up with her, I told her I love you and she slapped me and left. I defended you and, and I just needed time to figure this out. I didn't want to just jump from one relationship to another; I didn't want to go straight from her to you so I thought I'd wait. Then you go and get a boyfriend. Well ok then, you guys have fun together. I hope you're really happy." He got up and began to walk briskly away, far away from her.

"You know that's not fair!" She too had gotten up and grabbed him by the arm, effectively turning him around. There was a fire in his eyes that she hadn't seen in a long time. A long time. "What you're telling me is that it's OK for you to date whoever you want but I have to be alone and wait for you to come home. I have to be the one you talk to about how happy you are with them and smile and be happy for you, but you can't show me the same courtesy! I asked what happened between you and Nichole and you didn't tell me so it's not my problem. I can't drop everything for you. I won't drop everything for you. Maybe we just weren't supposed to be, maybe we were just meant to be friends." Kathryn was almost pleading now but refused to drop eye contact. He stared back, his face twisted in rage, and possibly jealousy. He broke free from her and stepped back, another step closer to his bedroom door.

"Yeah, 'were' is a good way to put it." With that he turned and stormed into his room with a slam of the door.

That was it. They were finished. Over. For good.

Hope you liked that part

I should probably start developing other characters and incorporating them into the story a bit. And of course add more description …

Please review and tell me anything that you liked / disliked or anything that I could improve ?

Thanks :D
