The Beauty of the Written Word

Pouring himself another cup of warm coffee ,Reid thought of last night and the day ahead. The fact that he had kissed her and that she kissed back was beyond shocking to the young doctor. For one he'd never had the guts to even talk to a pretty girl let alone kiss her but with Amelia it was different. Amelia brought put this confidence in him he never knew he had. He cracks jokes ,flirts and openly talks about thing with out the fear of someone telling him to shut up when he's around her yet if you asked him to tell a joke a few months ago Spencer wouldn't even be able to get the words out. Secondly Amelia was ,in Spencers opinion, miles out of his league. Awkward ,funny looking and lanky were words that he used to describe himself but Amelia was another story ,beautiful ,stunning, perfect , everything he dreamed of.Hopefully their coffee date later went well and if it did Spencer would be over the moon. Snapping out of his daydream Spencer realized he'd been staring thankfully she didn't notice. Focusing back on his coffee he tried to practice some self-control when it came to his glances.

Amelia ,who was half falling asleep at her desk,decided to wake herself up with much needed caffeine.The tiny clicking of heels got closer and closer to him and Spencer lifted his head up to see Amelia making her way over to the break area.Immediately his cheeks turned red as the memory of that kiss played over and over in his mind like a mini cinema. Fighting back the urge to repeat the memory Spencer sat down at the table trying to relax his clearly nervous demeanor.

"Hi" Amelia smiled but it was barely above a whisper ,nerves taking over her speech
"Hey" Spencer waved still trying to cool his hot cheeks. Amelia sat down next to him with a mug of her own. Glancing over to him quickly she let out a small giggle and quickly put her hand over her mouth as soon as it left her lips.
"What"Spencer asked and Amelia dismissed her abrupt giggle with the wave of her hand however a smile still tugged at her lips.
"Come one tell me" he pressed
"It's just"she quickly glanced round making sure no one was close enough to hear and even then she continued barely above a whisper."You're um really cute when you blush"
"Oh"he said smiling as his cheeks turned a darker shade. A few moments of silence later Spencer leaned in close to her ear making Amelia's breath catch in her throat.
"So you think I'm cute" he asked barely above a whisper with a grin plastered on his face.
"Oh shut up"Amelia blushed hiding her face behind her hands. Spencer laughed at her reaction and sipping his coffee. As soon as the liquid pasted his lips Spencers face screwed up in disgust and swallowed what he had in his mouth with much regret. It tasted awful ,well BAU coffee is always bad but this was just plain wrong in a mug.

"Do you still wanna go for coffee ,this stuff is disgusting"Spencer asked fumbling with his hands.
"Yea ,sure lemme just get my bag"Amelia smiled walking over to her desk. Returning just as quickly as she left the pair walked out of the offices and in to the elevator.
"So where we going"Amelia asked
"Just down the road the little place called Joe's on 23rd"Spencer replied
"Oh yea I heard of that place"

The elevator doors opened they continued their journey and walked out side in to the fresh air. Amelia took a deep breath in and sighed happily as the turned down the corner of the building ,taking in the summer smells of fresh cut grass and the sounds of family and couples out in the sun. The heat was warm but not unbearable by all means ,it was perfect.Walking side by side the pair headed in the direction of the shop ,which Spencer was leading. Their hands brushed together a few times before Spencer couldn't stand it any longer and place his hand in hers. Smiles grew on both of their faces as their fingers intertwined. Giving her hand a gentle squeeze she returned the favor planting a light kiss on his soft cheek making his heart flutter.

Before she knew it Amelia found herself walking in to Joe's coffee behind Spencer.The coffee shop was reasonable quite ;only the staff ,some business men and a family with a baby deep in slumber resided inside. It seemed rather homely for a coffee shop, the walls had a decorative pattern of deep beige color in great extensive detail they must have been drawn and painted by delicate hands. The chairs were all furnished and polished a deep brown and the sofas ,which seemed soft and inviting,were the same shade to match. Cool air poured out of the large fans in the ceiling keeping the place chilled despite the fact it was only luke warm out there. They chose the sofa with the small clear coffee table in front of it and Amelia sat down but Spencer walked over to the till and ordered their coffee. For sometime all that could be heard is the whirring sound of the machines and the hiss of steam for the piping hot milk or foam. The baby on the other side of the room was awoken from his nap by the noises but didn't make a fuss. Instead he just let out a small whine making grabby hands and his mum who picked him up ,sitting him on her lap. The noises stopped and the sound of change being exchanged replaced it then Spencer returned with two Styrofoam cups
"One latte for you and a cappuccino for me"he smiled placing her cup in front of her
"How did you know that"She exclaimed looking at the cup with confusion
"You always come in to work in the morning with coffee and it always says your name and the abbreviation 'ltte' from when they call out your order"He explained siting down next to her ,the sofa rising slightly on her side to even out the weight. Spencer started his usual ritual of ripping open the first of many sugar packets from the giant pile he had next to his coffee.Amelia laughed and shook her head
"That's the first thing I noticed about you ,you have a heck of a lot of sugar in your coffee"Amelia smiled
"I guess we just like to notice the little things"Spencer suggested finishing of his sugar ritual and stirring it slowly.Amelia nodded in agreement then her eyes caught his .Darting her eyes down to his lips and back up to those deep brown pools she couldn't help herself. Catching him off guard ,she leaned over pressed her lips against his. Surprised at her actions Spencer quickly relaxed and kissed her back ,his hand cupping the side of her face.It was just a small kiss but the amount butterflies it gave them was immense.Resting her hand on his chest Amelia could feel his heart beat thump quicker and quicker causing her to smile in to the kiss.Amelia pulled away,not before they exchanges lazy Eskimo kisses ,with dreamy look in her eyes.
"Can I tell something"Amelia asked and Spencer nodded in reply ,still with their fore heads lent against each others
"It's kinda obvious now but I like you ,like really like you"She spoke chewing on her lower lip
"I really like you too"He replied meekly ,still nervous saying it out-loud
"So are we um dating now or?"Amelia continued ,sightly worried she that she said something to soon
"Yea..,yea I guess so"He smiled ,his smile getting wider by the second and a blush creeping up on her face.A smile tugging on both of their lips as Spencer lent in for another kiss but they were interrupted by the owners voice breaking the silence in the room

"Hey hey this is a family establishment ,enough Spencer"He shouted from behind the cash register in a teasing manner waving a tea towel in the direction of the couple.
"Like I said I come here a lot"Spencer noted rolling his eyes at the now laughing man.Spence and Amelia spent the rest of there break talking ,drinking the rest of their coffee.They already knew so much about each other it was less of a 'getting to know you' chat more of general chit chat.As time went on they got more comfortable around each other in the way they sat and eventually Spencer was relaxed back on the sofa with one arm leaning across the back and around Amelia's shoulders who was very comfortable leaning in to Spencer hold .Today he chose just a deep purple collared shirt and a tie with the sleeves rolled up showing his forearms.It suited him really well ,then again Amelia couldn't think of a day were he didn't look good.She could smell the sent of his cologne ,it reminded her of the autumn .Smiling to herself Amelia could feel herself getting more and more comfortable till the point were she was perfectly happy to stay there all day.Well until Spencer said what he said next
"We need to be heading back"Spencer sighed and Amelia groaned mumbling something about not wanting to resting her head on his shoulder .
"Come on you" Spencer chuckled lightly at her giving her a slight nudge.Amelia and Spencer walked hand in hand out of the shop and back to the bau. Swinging their joined hands Spencer waited till they got back to the corner of the government building and stopped in his tracks.Amelia was about to asked what he was doing but then he used there connected hands her to pulling her towards him kissing her sweetly.Not wasting a moment she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him in closer as his hands rested in her lower back smiling in to the kiss.
"Sorry had to do that one last time before we go back in"He smirked pecking her lips on last time yet they stayed standing in each others loving hold
"Hey I'm defiantly not complaining"She giggled as she played with the hair on the back of his head.
"Hey Spence do you mind if we keep this to our selves for alittle while ,I'm just worried how Hotch will react and how our jobs might be a risk a-"Amelia could feel her self rambling but Spencer stopped her
"Amy ,honestly its okay I want that too it means I'm saved from some of Morgans teasing for now"Spencer said cutting her of with a laugh
"You sure"
"Definitely".They parted and went back to walking just as friends back in to the BAU. It felt weird ,spending all that time close to each other then returning to keeping their distance a few seconds after.With a team full of profliers they knew they couldn't keep all hush about it forever but they'd keep it up for as long as they could.Returning back to their desks Derek and Garcia ,who was sat on the edge of his desk, looked up at the two with warm smiles
"Where have you two been"Garcia asked
"Coffee"Amelia replied simply .Morgan and Garcia looked at each other with a knowing look but Spencer stopped them before they could say anything
"Not like that"Spencer said rolling his eyes
"Don't you start lying to me kid"Morgan laughed leaning back in his chair
"Guys honestly were just friends okay"Amelia explained and Garcia raised her hands in surrender. Spencer and Amelia turned back around in their chairs and looked back to their work not before glancing at each other over the small wooden divider between their desks with a smile
