This is a mix of Derek/Anna and Spencer/Jenna so be kind please.
"I told you so." Emily wore a Cheshire grin at her desk as Derek walked in to his desk with his morning coffee.
"What exactly are we talking about?" He sat and looked across the aisle at her.
"I told you that if we were patient, Reid would tell us about the girl. Well, guess who Garcia, Hotch, and I met Saturday?"
"You're kidding?" He was in complete shock. Emily shook her head.
"Nope, she dropped by to bring us lunch before taking Reid home. Her name is Jenna Moore. And guess, just guess where she works." She was having too much fun.
"No." Derek shook his head in disbelief. Emily nodded.
"Yes. She is a waitress at McQueen's Diner with your little girlfriend." Emily nodded. She loved having the upper hand.
"Anna isn't my girlfriend, and I cannot believe." He leaned back in his chair.
"I told you," She started but he cut her off.
"Eh, I heard you the first time."

"Don't you think owning your own pair of chopsticks is a little much?" Spencer asked from Jenna's couch. They were having Chinese takeout for dinner and he was surprised to learn she was some sort of expert in the area of cheap, college student priced, carryout. She walked out of her kitchen wielding a glossy pair of maroon chopsticks with cherry blossom designs at the ends.
"I think not." She shook her head and plopped down at the opposite end of the couch, facing him. They picked up their different boxes of Chinese takeout and started on them. Jenna looked up and saw the way Spencer was holding his wooden chopsticks. "Good lord, you do not know how to use chopsticks."
"What?" Spencer looked up with furrowed eyebrows. "How could you tell?"
"Oh, honey," She nodded towards his hands, "It wasn't exactly a difficult feat. Do you want me to show you?" He sighed and shook his head, placing his chopsticks on the table and trading them for a plastic fork.
"No, I'll just use a fork."
"Fine," She shrugged, "But a girl can tell a lot about a man by the way he eats oriental foods." She threw out the fact nonchalantly. He looked up and watched as she exaggerated her chopstick skills by picking up a wad of rice without looking.
"Okay." He gave in.
"Okay what?" She acted as if she didn't know what he was talking about. She knew he didn't like asking for help so she made him do it as often as she could.
"Okay, I'll let you teach me how to use chopsticks."
"Let me?" She asked, offended. He gave her a look but she only returned it. He put his container of dumplings on the table before leaning over and grabbing her free hand in both of his.
"Jen, Jenna," He said her name as sweetly as he could, making her bite back a smile, "Sweetheart, would you please lower yourself to the level of the likes of me, a skill-less noble," She was shaking with laughter now, "and teach me the wise secrets you hold that enable you perfectly execute the art of maneuvering chopsticks." He had to chuckle as she burst out laughing. She nodded as she calmed down.
"Of course I will, skill-less noble was it?" She laughed again. "Alright, pick up your chopsticks." He did so and followed her orders over the next ten minutes as she showed him how to hold them and how to grasp food, particularly rice. Finally, he could successfully bring food to his mouth without dropping it.
"You have done well young grasshopper. However, you have yet to earn your own pair." She bowed her head ceremoniously. He leaned over and kissed her.
"Thank you Sensei." He whispered. She kissed him back.
"You're welcome grasshopper." She leaned back.
Meanwhile…
"Are you kidding me?" Anna sighed when she saw her costumer. Derek had been returning to the diner for dinner every once in a while to flirt with her. "Mr. Morgan, how are you?" She was clearly not excited but he flashed a smile anyway.
"That's Derek to you sugar, and I'm doing just fine." She rolled her eyes but couldn't help but smirk. He was getting to her.
"Are you going to order or what?" She held her pen and pad at attention.
"That depends on when your break is." He watched as she closed her eyes briefly and sighed. "Before you say no, I just want to let you know that I am not going to give up on you."
"You mean you're not going to stop harassing me?" She clarified before setting her things down. "Hold on." She skated way. He waited patiently for ten minutes until she came back with two sets of food. "I hope you like burgers because that's all I brought." She sat down across from him and looked at him expectantly. He was grinning triumphantly.
"I knew you'd come around." He bit a French fry happily.
"Yeah? Well you have half an hour to make my day." She squirted ketchup on her fries. Derek's eyebrows furrowed.
"What do you mean?" Had he not won?
"Don't act shocked. You think I'd just give in after all this?" She asked logically. "I know I'm worth it to you, now show me why you would be worth it to me in," She checked her watch, "28 minutes."
"You're serious?" He asked with raised eyebrows. She nodded.
"Always."
"Alright, challenge accepted." He leaned forward across the table and chewed on a French fry. "I know Spencer." Anna furrowed her eyebrows.
"Is that some sort of point for you?" She asked before taking a bite out of her burger. He shrugged.
"Well, if I'm friends with such a nice guy," He began.
"You could still be an asshole." She finished for him. He shrugged.
"Okay, I'll give you that."
"So you're a cop?" She asked him.
"Yeah, FBI, how'd you know?" He hadn't mentioned his job.
"Seriously? Where else would you and Spencer smarty pants Reid ever hook up and become buds?" She looked at him.
"That's true." He quickly agreed. "So do you go to school?" He questioned.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, this is about you. So, do you go to school?" She asked back. He chuckled.
"You're feisty, I like that."
"Is that a no?" She didn't let him side track her with his flirting.
"No, I don't go to school. I was in the academy and then I started my career. I'm a supervisory special agent for the BAU. That's the behavioral,"
"I know what the BAU is." She stopped him. "According to your credentials, you make bank. So, what do you do with it? How does Derek Morgan like to spend his money? You know, besides on girls and what not." She smiled as he chuckled.
"You are something else."
"Thank you. Now continue please."

"I forgive you for saying that because football is clearly the best sport especially over ice hockey." She said it like was obvious.
"I'm going to take you to a hockey game one day and you are going to eat your words." He promised. She smiled.
"I'll hold you to that." She grabbed his hand and her pen and wrote her number on his wrist before he could protest. "You are going to call me and you are going to take me out." She told him. He couldn't help the cheesy grin that made its way onto his face.
"Yes ma'am."

"Seriously guys." Anna walked into her apartment to see the uninviting scene of Jenna and Spencer making out on her couch. They jumped apart like two teens that had gotten caught by their parents.
"Sorry." Jenna said with no actual conviction. Anna tossed her keys on their side table.
"Hi Anna." Spencer greeted her politely.
"Hey Spencer, she's treating you well I see." She teased him before heading to the kitchen.
"Stop teasing him and your mail is on the counter." Jenna let her know.
"Thank you. Hey Spencer," She called from the kitchen, "You're friend Derek asked me out today. Well, actually I told him he was going to ask me out but same thing right?"
"What?" Spencer was confused. "How?"
"Well, he's been coming to the diner on and off for a couple of weeks for dinner. He always flirted with me and I swear I was using all of my 'get the hell away from me, I'm not interested' techniques but he ignored them and kept coming back. So today, he asked me to eat with him on my break and I gave him 30 minutes to impress me, and impress he did."
"He's been going to the diner?" Spencer had to process this. How had they never seen each other?
"What are the odds of us living together, working together, and dating guys who work together?" Jenna thought. "This is fate."
"Absolutely." Anna went along with it. Jenna was just one of those types of people.
"And you are going out with him?" Spencer was still thinking about this.
"Is there a problem?" Anna wondered if there was something actually wrong with this guy.
"No," Spencer shook his head, "no problem."

"Have you been following me?" Spencer asked Derek when he found him at the coffee station.
"Pretty boy, I have better things to do than follow you to bookstores or wherever you go." He took a drink of his hot coffee.
"But we just happened to start going to the same eating establishment?" Spencer grilled him.
"Look, I wanted to know who the girl was and I saw that you were acting differently ever since you started going out for lunch so I just followed up on it. That's when I met a very attractive honey,"
"Anna." Spencer cut him off. "I know, she told me."
"She told you?" Derek was confused.
"Yeah, my girlfriend is her roommate." Spencer suddenly felt the spark of enjoyment from having one up on Derek that Emily was talking about. "Jen said it's a good thing so I'm going to go ahead and take her word for it. Oh, and she wanted me to tell you that Anna likes sports games, horse races, classic movies, and guys who can cook. She also said that she can't wait to meet you Friday."
"Friday?" Derek was already trying to process all of the information at once.
"Jenna is a student at the University." Spencer nodded before heading for his desk. Derek just shook his head. He did not enjoy not knowing what everyone seemed to know.

Everyone applauded and started to pick up their things to leave. Jenna waved to some of her classmates before gathering her notebooks. The BAU had ended the workshop at her University with a very insightful presentation about their job and the minds of notorious serial killers.
"Ms. Moore." She looked up and saw her teacher.
"Oh, hi Mr. Riley."
"I knew I'd see my best student here. Would you like to meet the speakers? I was about to introduce myself." He motioned to the group of agents. She laughed lightly.
"Actually sir, Dr. Reid and I are dating." He looked surprised then proud.
"Well, would it be so bold to ask for an introduction?" He asked politely.
"Absolutely not, you're my favorite teacher." They walked down the stairs where Spencer and Emily were talking in time to see a peppy blonde with a bouncy ponytail hand Spencer her number before happily bounding away, Spencer's eyes following her. She saw Emily notice her and Spencer's actions.
"Ahem!" She cleared her throat loudly and Spencer turned to see Jenna with folded arms and raised eyebrows.
"See something you like?" She asked him. He crumpled the number and leaned down to kiss her.
"Only you."
"I knew you were smart." She kissed him again before turning. "This is my sociology professor Mr. Riley. Mr. Riley, this is SSA Dr. Spencer Reid and SSA Emily Prentiss with the BAU." She remembered their professional titles. They all shook hands.
"Is this her?" A deeper voice came from where the rest of the group was standing. Jenna looked over and saw a tall, dark, muscular man approaching her with an intimidating demeanor. She gulped quietly as he towered over her. Fortunately, he grinned and held out his hand, making him seem 85% less threatening. "I'm Derek Morgan."
"Anna's date." She should've known.
"Yeah," He nodded and grinned at the thought of the gutsy blonde. A smaller but obviously capable blonde came over to them with Hotch, Garcia, and another man.
"Is this your girl Spence?" She asked.
"Yes." Spencer nodded as he watched JJ and Rossi meet Jenna and Jenna introduce the rest of the team to her professor. Rossi and Hotch talked to her professor while everyone else wanted to know more about the girl.
"How long have you been dating?" JJ wanted to know how in the dark she was.
"About a month or so?" Jenna looked to Spencer to confirm which he did.
"Wow." JJ whistled under her breath. Suddenly Garcia gasped.
"We should all have dinner!"
"That's a good idea." Emily agreed.
"I can't, I've got a date." Derek said with pride. Emily rolled her eyes.
"I can't believe you got Anna to go out with you." Emily shook her head.
"You know Anna?" Jenna asked curiously.
"I ate lunch at that diner once with Mr. Smooth over here." She pointed at Derek.
"I've never met this girl, what's she like?" Garcia and JJ wanted to know.
"Well, she's special." Jenna started, earning a laugh from most of them.
"I have been trying to go out with this girl for some time now." Derek revealed.
"She's extremely stubborn." Spencer contributed. He didn't know her extremely well but he knew that much. They all talked for a little while, Rossi and Hotch eventually joining the group after Jenna's professor announced his departure. They took a rain check on dinner and all headed out.
"I like your team." Jenna nodded as Spencer walked her to her car. "They are very nice. I think you guys are like a family." She shared her observations.
"I do too."
I finished! Thank you for your patience.
Sadly enough, I bring sad news; the next chapter will probably be the last chapter.
