Mellifluous {Spencer Reid}

FIFTEEN.

FIFTEEN; CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES

Taking a deep breath Aurora knocks on his door, shuffling her feet out of nervousness. She hears him unlock the door and he opens it so she can see his face through the crack and then he opens it fully, he is standing there wearing a sweater with his shirt underneath it. He looked like a prince, she couldn't help but blush, "hey!" She smiles up at him and his dumbfounded expression, he looks her up and down, speechless, she blushes as he stutters a response, she had to remind herself to text JJ later, she had predicted the future. "C-come inn you look beautiful" Her face goes a dark shade of red and she looks down, unsure how to process the compliment. "Um thanks, you look pretty handsome yourself." He blushes, turning the same shade of red as she already was. 

She walks into his apartment, the smell of frying pancetta and onion filling her nose, "ooo it smells so good Spence" she walks over to the kitchen. He snaps out of his state of shock at her outfit and walks after her, shutting the door and going to stir the mixture frying in the pan, "thanks, its Rossi's Carbonara recipe, I made him teach me after the last time he brought it to work" She laughs lightly looking around the apartment, her eyes falling on his bookshelf, or bookshelves would be more accurate, "wowwww you weren't kidding when you said you had me beat this is an amazing collection" her pointer finger trails over the spines of the books, surprisingly there was no dust, he kept his collection in good condition, she expected nothing less from him. "See I told you so, you can borrow any you like though!" Spencer's voice calls from the kitchen.

Walking back into the kitchen she sees him stirring the pasta into the sauce, it looked amazing, he wasn't kidding when he said he could cook. She notices the two glasses and bottle of wine on the counter top. "May I?" she asks looking up at him, "of course, as long as you pour me a glass." She chuckles and nods cracking open the very expensive looking bottle of red wine. "Deal"

After pouring their wine and serving up the pasta the two sit down across from each other at the kitchen table. Taking a bite of the pasta Rory is dumbfounded, she had never had pasta that good in her life, "Shit Spence you weren't kidding when you said you could cook, this is amazing" he laughs taking a sip of his wine and smiling "you can thank Rossi its his recipe" She rolls her eyes, he was being too modest. "Oh shut up, I've heard Em complain time and time again how she has tried over and over to get that recipe right, you have pure talent stop being so modest" He goes a light shade of pink as she smiles over at him "yeah yeah whatever, so tell me about Australia, I've never been!" He takes a bite of his food listening intently to what she says.

"Well I grew up in a tiny town, when I was in primary school, the entire school was only about 60 kids," His look of complete confusion surprised her before she realized he had no idea what she meant by primary school, "oh shit sorry, in Australia we only have two levels of school, primary school which is prep, prep is basically just pre-school, but kindergarten is different, they learn but just at a lower level than the grade ones, so then we have grades; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Before we graduate and move on to High School, which is years 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, in year 11 and 12 we do our VCE, from that we get an ATAR score, which is basically all of your subject scores added together and you get a number between 1 and 100, and it's compared to the rest of the state and put into a percentile." Pausing to take another bite of her food Spencer nods from across the table, understanding everything she explained "but yeah I graduated primary school at age 8 and then highschool at 12. I got into Melbourne uni, which is the best one around, you call it college we call it uni, but it's just the same thing, and on site living isn't anywhere near as common as it is here, I lived in an apartment in the city that I rented with the money my grandparents would give me. I started with Chemistry because I loved it, and I planned on completing PHDs in Chemistry, which I did and then Mathematics but then you know what happened and I changed to Forensic Psych and got my PHD there." Spence just nods at her, processing the information.
