When We Cross Paths Again!

Chapter 12:

"I know. But when it comes to someone you care about you can't help but worry about them no matter how safe they are." Amory says as she turns off her phone.

"Meghan, if anything ever happened to Braelynn and it won't, but if anything ever did the team and I would do anything and everything we can to help. I will do anything and everything I can to help."

"You, Dr. Spencer Walter Reid is a special one. How did I get so lucky to be able to call you my best friend?"

"Two great minds think alike."

"Always have always will."

The two genius's look into each other's eyes, smiling from cheek to cheek. Both of them weren't expecting it, but Reid suddenly lifted his left arm and gently placed his hand on her cheek. She puts her left hand over his and snuggles her face into his hand. They locked fingers with their right hands. At this moment time stands still for both of them. They don't want to move or kiss. All they want to do is stare into each other's eyes and have this moment between them never end.

Annastasia walks out to ask Amory something, but quickly stops and smiles when she sees her best friend who is more like a sister than anyone else and the man who she has been longing for since the day the two girls met each other staring into each other's eyes. She puts her phone on silent and quickly takes a couple pictures of Amory and Reid then goes back inside the apartment.

Amory starts to feel him tense a little. She knows he's starting to overthink. "Spencer, it's okay. Don't overthink. Just take a deep breath with me and stay in the moment for just a minute longer before you go. They do exactly that, but instead of staying in the position they were in currently he puts his right hand on her waist and pulls her closer so they're leaning their foreheads against each other.

Amory is on her toes, but she doesn't care. He's letting her be close to him. She's gonna take the chance while she has it, but not kiss him just yet. It isn't the time yet. Right here, right now is perfect so she just simply reaches her right hand up and gently places it on his cheek. A moment that didn't last as long as they'd like. Spencer's phone dinged and he sighed then took a step away from her.

"I have to go, but I'll text you when I get home." He told her. "I'm looking forward to it." She replies. Then she feels a soft kiss on the top of her head and sees a smile before he leaves. "Goodnight, warrior." "Goodnight all mighty prophet" she replies making him laugh then he's gone.

Amory walks back inside the apartment and closes the door. "Sooooo, when's the wedding?" Anastasia asks jokingly. "Shut up, Anna. Yes, what I know you saw looked hella cute and it was a great moment that I wish didn't end as soon as it did, but alas this is not the time for us, not yet. And I don't even know if he feels that way for me." Amory explains.

"Oh, girl. Come on. You really don't actually think that do you? He could barely keep himself together when he saw you basically strip and show the whole theatre in just a skirt, blue bra, and knee socks. If you were in a club you'd be like a nerdy stripper girl or something. You were fucking great, girl. As your token, straight friend. I'm gonna tell you this. Spencer is hot and smart and has basically anything in common with you. Don't wait too long, you two deserve each other."

"I know. I know. I just don't want to rush into it. And there's still so much he doesn't know about me that he'll have to know eventually, but there's also Braelynn. I trust him with my life, but what if I slip up and something happens to her? She's only ten. I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to her and after Nick... I just don't know."

"It's okay. I understand, completely. What you feel is completely valid and if you need time take all the time you need. Just try not to take too much time. I believe he would wait for you, but there are also other girls or even boys in the world. All I've ever wanted is for you to be happy, you know that. Also before you go to bed, remember Betty? Our old dog?"
