Song Title: Love Story by Taylor Swift

Hotch remembered back to the first day he ever met Emily Prentiss. She was about to go off to college and he got assigned to do protective detail for her mother. He was in a relationship with Haley at the time, but that didn't keep him from looking at her. Her hair was flowing down over her shoulders and she had on a yellow sundress. She was breathtaking. They were introduced and when their hands touched, they both got shocked. Maybe fate was telling him back then that she was the one he should be with. The smile that she flashed him made his heart skip a beat. He smiled back, but when he saw how her father was looking at him it quickly faded. Clearly his little princess was off limits.

We were both young when I first saw you

I close my eyes

And the flashback starts

I'm standing there

On a balcony in summer air

See the lights

See the party, the ball gowns

See you make your way through the crowd

And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet

And I was crying on the staircase

Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say yes

He had tried to stay away from her in the few days she was at the house. He was surveying the garden and she snuck out to see him. They talked about their hopes and dreams and she told him several times how much she hated politics. She was beautiful. She knew her father didn't want her around him, but she didn't care. She grabbed his hand and led him further away from the house. She told him how much she enjoyed his company and she was tired of everyone telling her how she should feel and who she should feel things for. She stood up on her tip toes and lightly placed a kiss on his lips before saying goodbye and running away.

So I sneak out on the garden to see you

We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew

So close your eyes

Escape this town for a little while

Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

And my daddy said stay away from Juliet

But you were everything to me

I was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to fell

This love is difficult, but it's real

Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh oh

Hotch thought back to how much he had thought about Emily after she went away. He knew it was wrong, but once in a while he wished Haley was Emily. So when she walked into his office eager and happy to be there he acted like he forgot what school she had gone off to all those years ago even thought he thought about it and her often. Even after all those years she was still gorgeous. Her hair was a little shorter, but everything else was pretty much the same. He was rude to her in the beginning and he had no right to be. He said he didn't trust her, but in reality he knew he had to keep his distance. But then the day came when he had to make a choice between his family or his job and he picked his job and thought he'd never admit it, he picked Emily.

I got tired of waiting

Wondering if you were ever coming around

My faith in you if fading

When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

They grew closer over the years and he fell harder for her each passing day. Her smile, her eyes, her love. It all made his job a little bit easier. The first time they kissed his heart did somersaults. The first time they made love there were fireworks.

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone

I keep waiting for you but you never come

Is this in my head? I don't know what to think

He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

He loved her, every little bit. And he knew he'd never give her up. So one day he did the only thing he could think of. After he did he went to find his girl. He got down and proposed telling her he'd never let her down and he got her fathers permission. How he'd love her more with each passing day for the rest of his life. She jumped up happily saying yes over and over then jumped into his arms.

And said, marry me Juliet

You'll never have to be alone

I love you and that's all I really know

I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress

It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh,

Oh, oh

Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Hotch thought back to the first time he met Emily Prentiss and knew that back then was the beginning of a great love story.
