A/N: Alright I know I said I'd write this chapter about a night together, then their anniversary. But I had several ideas for their anniversary, so I figured I'd just skip that night. It would've also been a very boring chapter. Just saying.
Anyway, first thing: Criminal Minds on Wednesday was amazing!
Two: Thank you for the reviews. I absolutely love them. I seriously never thought this story would be liked so well. But I'm on Chapter 15. Which is the longest I've ever bothered with a story. I usually just give up, due to know one but me caring.
Third: Typos happen. Sorry. I can only re-read it so well. No need to bother me about it, just realize my mistake, and move on.
I ramble.
Thursday, November 16th.
Caitlin was busy working on a few art pieces when she heard a knock on her door. Her eyebrows knitted together in confusion, no one was supposed to stop by today. Caitlin proceeded to the door anyway. She swung the door open, finding a delivery man standing there.
"Are you Caitlin Taylor?" He asked.
"Yes." She answered cautiously. She hadn't ordered anything. Her curiosity began to grow.
The man handed her a vase full of roses.
"Alright have a good day." He said smiling and turning away.
She closed the door, walked into the kitchen, and placed the flowers on the counter. She noticed a card attached.
Caitlin broke the seal on it, flipping it open and reading the scratchy and familiar handwriting.
"Happy Anniversary, Caitlin.
I love you.
-Spencer"
Caitlin smiled. She loved that man with all her heart. She grabbed her phone from her back pocket and hit the speed dial to call him. He picked up on the third ring.
"Hello?"
"Hey! I'm not bothering you am I?" She asked, realizing that he was working, and was probably busy.
"No, you're not bothering me. Not at all." He told her.
"Good. I just wanted to thank you for the flowers. They're absolutely beautiful." She told him, smiling like a fool.
"Well, you're beautiful."
Caitlin grinned. "You're really cheesy sometimes, you know that?"
Spencer laughed. "I know." He paused for a moment. Caitlin heard a few voices in the background. "Hey, I have to go."
She frowned; sad she hadn't gotten to talk to him longer. "Will I see you tonight?" She crossed her fingers and hoped that he didn't just get called on a case.
"Yes you will." He assured her quickly.
Caitlin glanced at the clock on the microwave. '2:30' it read.
"Alright, then I'll see you in 4 hours. Bye, Spencer. I love you."
"Bye." He hung up quickly.
Caitlin felt her heart sink a little. Spencer didn't want to tell her he loved her in front of the person he was in a room with, that made her a little sad.
All she could do was talk about Spencer to her friends and family. She was sure they were sick of hearing about him. She sure as hell didn't want him to be embarrassed about dating her. Caitlin quickly reassured herself that wasn't the case, and that he was just busy and had to hang up. She shook her head and went back to her art room, trying to busy herself by painting for the next few hours.
*Derek Morgan POV* (Just go with it)
Derek walked into the lounge and watched Spencer quickly close his phone.
"Who was that?" Derek asked.
"No one." Spencer said quickly before crossing the room, passing Garcia in the doorway.
She turned her head and watched him walk out quickly.
"Is something up with him?" Derek asked her.
"Don't know. He's been acting strange for the past few months. Getting here later, leaving quicker. Odd." She told him.
Derek shrugged.
Spencer Reid packed his bag up, and headed towards the exit of the BAU. Luck was on his side that day, the team hadn't got called away on a case. Spencer stepped into the elevator, pressing the L button to go to the lobby. Morgan walked in, hitting the close door button. Spencer looked down at his watch.
"Where are you headed in such a hurry?" Morgan asked. "Does the young Dr. Reid have a hot date?" He finished, grinning.
"Something like that." Spencer answered, before the elevator stopped.
The doors opened and he quickly walked out.
Spencer unlocked the door to Caitlin's apartment. He opened the door and was met by the smell of something cooking. He slipped his shoes off and walked into the living room. Caitlin was standing there. She looked absolutely gorgeous.
There was a small table set up, draped with a black cloth, plates full of food and two candles on top. He dropped his bag and walked over to Caitlin, wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her to him, and kissing her. She smiled against his lips, and wrapped her arms around his neck. Caitlin felt her knees shake a little. He pulled away, standing straight up again.
She laid her head on his chest.
"Happy anniversary, Spencer," Caitlin said quietly.
"Happy anniversary, Caitlin," He leaned down and kissed her forehead. "You look absolutely beautiful."
She smiled. "Thank you, you look amazing." Her eyes quickly looked over his body.
"I made us dinner." She said, her head turning to look at the table. "Sit." She told him.
Caitlin walked into the kitchen and Spencer sat patiently. She came back with two glasses and a bottle of wine. She poured them each a glass before returning the bottle to the kitchen. Caitlin took her seat and looked up at Spencer and smiled.
Spencer raised his glass, as did she.
"To one year together." He said
"And love." She added before clinking their glasses together.
A/N: Again, sorry this chapter took so long. There will be a continuation of it. I just felt this would be a good place to stop. I know I'll get started on the chapter tonight. Not sure if I'll finish. We'll see.
I had to make sure this chapter was absolutely perfect.

Oh and check it, I figured out how to insert page dividers :)
