Addicted to You

20

Atticus woke up to an empty bed, she turned to see that there was a small statue with a note resting on it. The statue was a small frog holding a guitar, sitting on top of a mushroom, she giggled at it before reading the note. Of course, it took a while to make out Spencer's god awful chicken scratch that he had the audacity to call handwriting.

'Happy birthday Atti! You're finally 28, which means you can stop making those jokes about me "liking younger girls", despite only being 33 days older than you. (they are very much not funny by the way). If you're reading this and I'm gone it's because I'm doing surprise things, although I've left several notes like this one all-around your apartment. Also, I saw this statue in a store somewhere, and I knew I had to get it because it's practically all your favorite things combined. -Spencer'

Att couldn't help but laugh to herself as he was mimicking the same style notes that she had left for him a month or so before. She walked around her apartment and sure enough, Reid had covered her apartment in little sticky notes, each of them in her most frequented places, and written on them were examples of his favorite things she did.

On top of the faucet of the sink in the bathroom the note read,

'Remember that first time I caught you dancing around while you were brushing your teeth?:) It was one of the very first moments I realized that you're kind of a huge softie, despite you being incredibly intimidating'

She walked to the kitchen and placed on top of the counter was yet another note,

'I love the way you insist on sitting on your countertops instead of actual furniture like a normal person. P.S. I really hope you clean them after we--uh...ya know:)'

Atticus opened her fridge and turned her french press around,

'You already know the moment I'm referring to, so I'll spare you'

She made herself her usual iced coffee and as she walked into the living room she noticed a paper in the middle of her floor,

'You're probably wondering why the hell I put one of these on the floor, allow me to explain. While this isn't the exact place we spoke for the first time, it is the place I made you laugh for the first time. Once I heard your giggle, I knew I was in for it. I mean I practically fell in love with you right there. I remember telling myself that a girl like you would never go for me, so I tried to suppress my feelings but no matter how hard I tried they never went away. To be honest, I still can't believe you feel the same way about me that I do about you. I love you:)'

At the bottom of the note, there was a misshapen heart and she couldn't help but laugh a little again at his adorably horrible handwriting.

1 week before:

Spencer walked into work and headed straight to Garcia's lair, knowing that's where all the girls would be.

"I need your guys' help.", he said a little frantically.

"Spill, young Einstein", Garcia replied.

"Ok, Atticus' birthday is next Saturday and she told me that no one's ever really done anything big for her birthday. So, I wanted to do something special and since", he rolled his eyes sarcastically, "you guys are pretty much her new favorite people, I could use some advice."

"Well, she doesn't seem too big on being spoiled, so just keep it simple.", JJ started.

"Yeah, maybe just take her to one of her favorite spots and do some of her favorite things", Emily added.
