Make It out Alive

The team was at my house, gathered around the big screen TV as we prepared for the first game of the season. Ravens versus Cowboys at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. I cracked a beer and sat on Spencer's lap, kissing him softly before taking a swig of my beer.

Spencer and I had been dating for about three months, and been official boyfriend and girlfriend for about a month and a half. So far, so good. We stayed up talking most of the night until I forced him to go home and sleep. I felt close to him, comfortable with him. We were quite the odd couple it seemed, especially today. I was wearing an oversized jersey and jeans, he was wearing plain dark jeans and a green button up. Derek teased us about our clothing being reversed.

Baltimore had the ball, and was being passed, now it was going toward the end zone. I leaped up. "Go go go!" I yelled at the TV. "Come on! You're almost- YES!" Baltimore got a touch down.

Derek laughed at me. "Damn, girl, you really do like football." In fact, I was the only woman in the room paying attention to the game. JJ, Garcia and Hotch's wife, Haley, were all talking to each other. I blushed and resumed my place on top of Spencer.

The doorbell rang and I went to grab the pizzas and wings from the delivery boy, returning to the living room with the boxes.

I groaned as Dallas intercepted the ball. Spencer watched with mild interest. "Not a football fan, babe?"

"I don't really understand it," he confessed.

I spent halftime explaining it to him, and by the end he seemed to have a general understanding of football.

A few beers, a pizza slice and a few wings later, Baltimore won. I jumped up and cheered, doing a little dance. Spence laughed at me, but I silenced him by pressing my lips to his hard.

After everyone had left, I curled up with Spencer on the
couch. "Wanna watch a movie?" I asked.

"Sure."

We decided on The Titanic, well, I did and he didn't argue. By the end I was crying, and Spencer had just woken back up to hug me and kiss away a few tears. He fell back asleep, and I really didn't feel like going up to my bedroom or waking him up, so I just fell asleep with him.
