Federal Love

Chapter 20- Now or Never

I woke up nervous, very nervous. I realized something last night, when he offered to walk me home. I realized that I was over reacting to everything and that I should've just said ye when he confessed. I got up and went to my closet to find something to wear. I have to impress him today, I have to look my best. It's just this weird mentality that us women have, okay? Don't question it. I grabbed a pair of black skinny jeans, a white button up, and black pumps. I put it all on and looked in the mirror. I smiled and noticed that something was missing. I looked through my collection of jackets and saw a black blazer and smiled at it. I slid it off the hanger and put it on. I looked in the mirror and nodded. I walked to my vanity and started to do my makeup. I did the normal base and then started on the eyes. I've noticed that he pays more attention to my face when I use darker golds and bronzes. I used those colors and did the normal mascara. I smiled and put on a nude lipstick this time. I finished with a golden highlighter and looked over my face in the mirror. I nodded and started on my hair. I fixed it and once I determined that everything was alright I grabbed the lipstick and put in my pocket so I can do a touch up when needed at work. I grabbed everything that I needed from my bedroom and then turned off the lights. I made my way into the living room and saw Spencer walk out of the guest bedroom. I put my things in my bags and walked over to the kitchen so I could grab a morning snack. I tossed him a granola bar and he fumbled but caught it none the less. I laughed and ate mine and walked to the bathroom to finish my morning routine. 

"Hey Liv, are we getting coffee on the way to work?" Spence asked from the kitchen.

"Why wouldn't we?" I asked as I rinsed my toothbrush. I turned off the light and walked out. "Are you ready to leave yet?" I asked as I made my way to my bags. 

"Let me brush my teeth and then we can go." He said and then walked off to do so. I nodded and waited for him to finish up. While I stood there my stomach did flips and tumbles as the thought of how I was going to do this crossed my mind. My foot started to tap on the floor while I messed with the hem of my sleeve. I stopped when I heard Spence start to walk down the hallway. I smiled at him as he turned the corner towards the door. "Alright, I'm good to go. Let's go get our coffee." He said as he grabbed his bag. I nodded and grabbed my keys from the table behind me. I opened the door for him and he walked out. I followed after and locked the door behind me. We walked down the stairs and out the big glass doors of the apartment building. We walked side by side down the busy side walk to the coffee house in a comfortable silence.

"Are you paying or am I?" I asked as we reached the coffee house.

"I'll pay this time." He said as he opened the door for me. I thanked him and we got in line to get our coffee. We waited and when it was time we ordered our coffee. He paid for it and we waited for it to come out the other end. We grabbed them and made our way to the office. I sipped on my coffee as we walked and I tried to not bump into anyone else as they were rushing in the opposite direction. I was nudged into Spence by a random business man but shook it off. 

"Sorry about that." I said as I went back to my original distance.

"It's alright." He said with a small blush. I smirked a little and opened the door of the building for him. He walked in and waited for me to follow. We said good morning to Carol and walked to the elevators. I pressed floor six and waited until we got there. "I'm going to bet that today is going to be very uneventful." He said just before the doors opened. I smiled a little and chuckled.

"I have a feeling that it will be." I said and then walked out to the glass doors to the bullpen. He followed after me curious.

"What do you mean? Do you know something that I don't?" He asked with a small smile on his face.

"Maybe, maybe not." I said as I opened the door for him. He walked in with a weird look on his face but walked off to his desk. I sighed to myself and walked to my desk. I set down my bags but kept the blazer on. I looked into the office windows and saw that Hotch was already here. I smiled a little and looked for Rossi. If I'm going to make my plan work, I'm going to need everyone but Spencer to know. At least not until I tell him. I turned towards the bullpen doors and watched until the others started to come in. Morgan, Emily, Garcia, and JJ came in one after the other. I smiled and waited for them to get settled before I do this. I waited half an hour and joked with the others. This is to important to mess up so I can't act weirder than usual. I went to Hotch's office and closed the door behind me. He looked up, clearly confused, and set down his pen.
