A/N: Okiee So I hope you all like this. I wrote this And I still love it!
Reid left the office at 5 with Garcia and picked Ella. He introduced her to Maria, in case he needed Garcia to pick up Ella any time in the future. They went back to the apartment. Garcia and Reid packed for at least three Days for Ella. Tons of little outfits. It looked more like 3 weeks than 3 days. After that, Reid kissed Ella and hugged Garcia. The two left and Reid got ready himself, putting on the only suit he owned. He grabbed on of the shirts Arabella loved on him, a light pastel blue. Shew actually bought it for her years he added one of his fancier ties instead of a bow tie. It was a charcoal satin tie that again Arabella had bought him. Instead of converse, he actually put on nice dress shoes. He looked himself over a few times before he left at 7 to go to the restaurant, wanting to make sure he looked good enough for Arabella. He showed up at 7;30 and was seated. Their table was in the middle of the dinning room. The place wasn't too crowded but it wasn't empty either. By a quarter to 8, Arabella arrived and was seated across from him.
"Hey." Reid said with a smile. He looked at her as she sat down. The dress she wore was beautiful. it was a strapless teal dress that stopped mid-thigh. it had a sliver jeweled sash in the middle. Her hair was curled and pulled back by a silver barrette. She donned silver heels. Her eye makeup matched her dress and her lips were bright pink. She placed the silver clutch on the table.
"Hey yourself." She said as she looked him over. He looked amazing and dapper. She gave him a smile. She loved that he dressed up just for her. It made her feel special.
"I ordered you favorite." He said as the wine showed up. "Both wine and dinner." She smiled at him.
"Well thank you." She said. He held up his glass to her.
"To us." He said with a smile. She held up hers and smiled back.
"To us." She said as they clinked glasses. They had a very special dinner of Filet Mignon, much to Arabella's arguing that they couldn't afford it, and vegetables. Of course they had the bread and butter. The whole entire time, Reid couldn't stop smiling at her.
"I love you." Redi said to her.
"I love you too." She said with a loving sigh. "This is amazing. when's the last time we did this?"
"Uhm two years and a month ago. It was when Ella was-" Reid started.
"Oh Kay!" She stopped him with a small laugh. "Speaking of her, where is Ella anyways? Did you leave her with Maria or did someone else take her?" Arabella asked. Reid had told her on the phone that it was a dinner date for the two of them.
"Garcia took her for the weekend." Reid answered. She nodded as their dinner plates were cleared.
"oh? So a whole weekend to ourselves?" She asked with a mischievous smirk. Reid nodded. "This is lovely. And unexpected. Is there a special reason? Did I forget a holiday or something?" She said teasingly at him.
"Actually, there is something I need to talk to you about Ara." Reid said. Arabella's head snapped up from the table and her face got serious, losing the playful look it just had.
"Y-yes?" She sputtered, starting to shake. No one, men or women, really likes to hear those words. Usually trouble follows them. Typically a break-up. She hoped to god that's not what it was. T o her surprise, Reid grabbed her left hand with his. Slowly he took a deep breath
"I-" He paused and took another deep breath. "I know there's usually a little speech given about how you make me feel but... there are no words to describe how I feel about you. I love you." He stands up and goes to her chair, still holding her hand. Slowly he drops to one knee, reaches into his jacket's left inside breast pocket with his right hand, and pulls out a small box. Arabella looks at him in shock and realization. Her other hand flew to her mouth. He opens the box and reveals a beautiful ring with a round cut diamond with a smaller diamond on each side with a silver wrap band. He takes it out of the box. "I know we haven't had the easiest road in our life, We met because your friends decided to push you. You've helped me with my own personal demons and you never left my side, And when I avoided you, you still stayed by my side. All I can think is that your friends gave you a push and it made me so happy. And now I would like you to make me even happier. Arabella Sara Knight, will you marry me?" Arabella just looked at him in shock, unable to speak, her breath caught in her throat. The whole room stood still and the air felt thick.
"Spencer- are- are you sure?" She asked in almost a whisper.
"I've been in love with you since day one Ara. We have a daughter now. Its time to make it all real." He looked at her, and people in the restaurant were starting to stare. Yet Arabella's and Reid's eyes never left each other. "I've tried to do this before but I- I've always lost the nerve." He swallowed, waiting for her answer. The Restaurant was dead silent quiet. If music was playing before, it had stopped now. The couple knew all eyes were on them, but they didn't care. Arabella's eyes watered and she nodded quickly as she blinked the tears away.
"Yes!" She said, it took him a second to register what she had said but then once it did, he put the ring on her finger Arabella grabbed it and kissed him as the both stood up, even though he still had to lean down since she was so much shorter than him. It was a passionate kiss. Romantic, not tasteless. The other guests applauded. She looked around with the biggest smile on her face and her eyes kept watering. A waitress came up to them with something in her hands.
"Cake for the newly engaged couple." She said placing the cake down on the table. "And here's two forks." Arabella smiled at the waitress as Reid sat back down.
"Thank you." Arabella said as the waitress left and she sat herself. She knew when they got home, they'd have the place to themselves, and they were going take total advantage of it.
And the big moment and she said yes! I can't wait for the rest can you? The review button is your best friend my lovelys,
