A/N: So I'm going to be nice and post this next chapter before I go to work even though I only got one review- but that's because I have the NEXT CHAPTER already done and it's a doozy! So review review, and maybe you'll get it tomorrow ;)
'Cause, baby, I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
And every day is like a battle
But every night with us is like a dream
Baby, we're the new romantics
The best people in life are free
Caitlyn had now been at the BAU for about two months. Or, five weeks, two days, sixteen hours and forty five seconds according to Spencer. The two had tried their best to keep their small relationship-thing, if you could call it that a secret, but it was definitely hard with a bunch of profilers around. Anytime they weren't on a case or in the office the two were together, getting dinner after cases, coffee in the morning or attending some kind of event that the young doctor had heard about and the young previous SWAT member agreed to go to him with in order to make him happy. There were definitely suspicions from those around them, but they did their work so there were never any problems. They had just finished up a case in Guantanamo Bay and Caitlyn had found herself becoming very close with the agent that became apart of the team after her. Caitlyn was finishing up some case files, excited that they were actually getting a weekend off for the first time since she had joined the BAU.
"So, any plans for this weekend?" Prentiss asked, leaning on Caitlyn's desk, holding a cup of coffee in her hand. Caitlyn didn't take her eyes from the notepad she was writing on.
"No, I don't think so." she answered, still writing vigorously to get closer to her weekend of freedom.
"Not even with Dr. Reid?" Prentiss pryed. Caitlyn stopped and looked up and her, finally laying her pen down. "Well come on Cait, you really don't think I don't notice you two? I'm pretty sure everyone notices. You two show up together at the exact same time, with the same cup of coffee from the same coffee shop. At night you leave at the exact same time, and when the four of us were just on that case I saw the way you two looked at each other." It was true, and Emily was the closest person that she was to at the BAU other than Morgan. It would be nice to have someone to talk to things about, and she felt as though she could trust her.
"Alright Emily, I'm only telling you this because I told you that we could be buddies on your first day and I'm a woman of my word. But please don't say anything to anyone."
"Cross my heart." Emily said, pulling a chair up and scooting closer to her.
"We've definitely been spending time together."
"I knew it." Emily started, "So what's he like out of the office? Is he romantic? Is he good.. you know…" she asked suggestively.
"Well first, we haven't even kissed yet."
"What do you mean!"
"Well I don't know. Its just so different with him, he's exactly the same out of the office but theres something about him that just makes me want to be with him all the time. And with the case load that we get we don't really get the time other than coffee and dinner after work for anything romantic. But he really is so sweet." Caitlyn explained.
"Oh, he's coming over here right now, I'll call you. I'm heading home." Emily waved as the young doctor made his way over. He stopped wearing his glasses recently and Caitlyn liked being able to see him without being hidden behind his frames.
"So," he began, looking at his feet, which meant he was about to ask her something and he was nervous, "remember when I asked you if I could take you on that real date?" Caitlyn looked up at the ceiling and tapped her pen on her chin in deep thought.
"Hmmmm… I don't think I recall…" she started, getting only a blank stare from Spencer. "Yes, I remember."
"Can I take you on that tonight?" he asked, fiddling with the strap of his messenger bag.
"Yeah, I'd like that. I'm almost done, let's walk out together?" Caitlyn asked finishing the last sentence of her report and grabbing her bags. They waved goodbye to the rest of the team and went in the elevator and to Caitlyn's car.
"So I have a plan, I'll come and pick you up." Spencer smiled.
"Okay." Caitlyn cautiously took a small step forward, putting a small amount of space between her and the doctor. He was quite a bit taller than her so she had to almost tilt her head fully up to look him in the eyes. She was almost certain she could hear his heartbeat. Closing her eyes she softy pressed her lips to his. It was like electricity, the softness of his lips, the scent of him was like the pages of new books and coffee. She pulled back slowly and he just stared at her blankly.
"Sorry," she began "I just have been wantin-" she was cut off by Reid placing his hand softly on the side of her face and pulling her in to kiss her again.
"Me too. I'll see you tonight."
"See you tonight." Caitlyn responded as they both got into their cars grinning like idiots and unaware that Garcia caught the whole thing on the parking lot surveillance camera and was having a miniature heart attack.
Caitlyn still hadn't bothered to unpack her boxes and really wasn't planning on going on a date or really anything that had happened to her in the past couple of weeks. She was able to find a dark red sweater at the bottom of one of her boxes she shrugged and paired it with a pair of black jeans that she tucked into a pair of black ankle high boots that had a small heel on them. She fussed with her hair in the mirror before just adding a couple of small curls to her already wavy locks. He told her that she didn't have to dress super fancy, but she loved doing makeup. She did a simple winged eyeliner, and applied some lipstick before looking at herself in the motel mirror. She was actually surprised at her ability to put something together with what limited amount she had. The rest of her boxes were being sent over, but this would do. She grabbed a black jacket to go over her sweater since it was somewhat cold outside she heard Spencer knock on the door. Caitlyn let out a deep breath before opening and revealing the young doctor, flowers in hand, reflecting the same facial expression as Caitlyn. He was clad in a pair of black pants which laid ontop of his usual converse, a white shirt with a cardigan buttoned a few buttons up with a black jacket over it and a purple tie. His hair growing a little longer and hanging in it's usual fashion.
"Hi." Caitlyn smiled, the young doctor took a second to hand her the flowers.
"Hello. I brought you these, you look very nice tonight." he smiled. Caitlyn couldn't help herself, she leaned forward and kissed him again putting her hand on the nape of his neck.
"Thank you." she said not pulling her body away from his, "I figured now that we've kissed that it's an okay thing to do now."
"Seems justifiable to me." he answered, somewhat pink from the encounter. "Ready to go?" Caitlyn nodded and they were on their way. The car ride was filled with their usual chatter and Caitlyn wasn't allowed to know where they were going no matter how many times she asked him. They finally arrived at the smithsonian. Spencer parked the car and took her hand, this was the first time that they actually really were able to act as a couple, if they even were a couple, they had never made if official or addressed it. Out of the field and out of the office. Caitlyn liked the way his large hands felt, even though she could feel his hands getting somewhat clammy and sweaty, but she didn't mind. He showed her the botanical gardens, giving her facts about the flowers and the museum and Caitlyn listened attentively as she usually did. Finally after walking for a little they found a small bench and both took a seat. Caitlyn stared up at the sky and around at the flowers while Spencer stared at her. When she finally realized that he was looking at her she turned her gaze to him.
"What is it?" Caitlyn asked. Spencer just shook his head smiling a bit.
"You know, I never thought in a millon years that I would be here. My mother always told me that one day there would be a girl who would realize that I was special, and I was pretty sure she didn't believe it herself and was only saying it to make me feel better." he started.
"Really? Why? You're such the ladies man." Caitlyn smirked.
"Seriously," Spencer continued, "I just feel extremely lucky right now. That I'm here with… you. When you walked into the BAU that day I was sure that you would be somewhere with Morgan and I was so nervous I couldn't even look you in the eyes. I'm not the kind of guy that gets a girl like you, or any girl for that matter." Caitlyn turned her body completely towards him.
"You're not the kind of guy who gets a girl like me?" she asked slowly.
"I didn't mean that in an offensive-" he started, getting nervous.
"That's not where I was going. Dr. Reid, you've got me. Do I have you?"
"Yes." he responded, finally understanding where she was going.
"Then it's settled, we're each others." she smiled, Spencer grinned back at her once again grabbing her face in his hands and lightly kissing her on the lips. This time neither of them pulled back, Caitlyn placed her hand on his jawline, deepening the kiss and scooting her body closer to his so that they were touching. She ran the tongue along the his bottom lip as he moved his hands down to her sides, Caitlyn moving both of hers to wrap around and rest on the nape of his neck. Caitlyn felt her heart start to pound and her skin start to heat as she played with the hair on the nape of his neck while she kissed him and he let out a soft moan.
bzzzz…..bbzzz…..
Both of the agent's phone's rang in unison.
"No," Reid said, almost breathless as the pulled apart, closing his eyes and resting his forehead on hers.
"We should probably check that." Caitlyn said, pulling her head away from his and grabbing her phone.
"It's from Hotch, it's urgent we need to get to the BAU right away."
"Duty always calls." Reid said, standing up and grabbing Caitlyn's hand, he pulled her in for one more quick kiss before they made their way out of the gardens and to Reid's car.
The text from Hotch said it was extremely urgent so neither of the two bothered to change, Reid stopped by Caitlyn's motel room so she could grab her go bag and they went to the office. All of the agents outfits portrayed where they were when they got the text message, ripped from their weekend plans.
"Well look at you two where were you?" JJ asked.
"We were uh…" Reid started looking at Caitlyn for help.
"Reid, I know, the whole team knows neither of you are in trouble," Hotch said quickly as he made his way into the room, "we have a case it's a big one."
Caitlyn and Reid both looked at each other and the rest of the team who just smiled as they all got into their positions at a round table.
"Let's start with the latest victims, a couple murdered to death after their super bowl party."
A/N: If you guys remember the episodes you know whats about to come next and it's going to be very intense and emotional for both Reid and Caitlyn. Please review and I really hope you enjoy and continue to enjoy this I still have so much more to come. Its a beautiful story I have planned for these two. But they're finally a couple, yay!
