Just the Two of Us

Date Night

Today is Saturday, August 12, 2004, and I just got out of class at 5:45 am; luckily for me, I don't have class again until Monday night. Because of how early it was I knew that Derek was home, so before I left I called him and told him I got out early and I'm on my way home now. He replied "Ok I'll be up waiting for you. Be safe alright." "Ok I promise, bye," I said. I rode my bike home and it took me about 8 to 12 minutes; right before I opened the door I got a random text saying

(702)555-0103

Stranger: "I can't wait for our date tonight"

because I was tired I asked

Me: "Who is this"

instead of asking "Is this Spencer", but hey I was tired let me be. Then I got a text back saying

Spencer: "It's Spencer Reid, I forgot to give you my number, so I asked Derek for yours"

Once I was inside the house I had talked to Derek for a few minutes then went to my room. After I was in my room I replied.

Spencer

Me: "Yeah I can't wait, but why are you up so early?"

he then said

Spencer: "I was reading a few books then talked to my mom on the phone."

Me: "Oh, what books were you reading?"

Spencer: "Um, 'The Great Gatsby', 'Moby Dick', and some other books"

Me: "Oh cool, I love those books. Have you read 'To Kill a Mockingbird ?"

Spencer: "Yes I have, but not today. But the better question to ask is why are you still up?"

Me: "I'm up because I just got out of school, so I've got all day to sleep and get ready for our date tonight."

Spencer: "Right you have night school. Do you think that you'll be at the FBI Building again or not?"

Me: "I don't think that I'll go today. I'll talk to you later. I need to go get some sleep. OK?"

Spencer: "Ok, I'll see you later on our date. ", "Bye"

Me: "Bye Spence."

When we stopped talking I took a shower then fell asleep. I woke up in a cold sweat and was shaken by the fact that it had only been 2 hours since I fell asleep. I couldn't go to sleep again, so I went downstairs to find something to eat instead. As I was on my way to the kitchen I saw Derek on his way to the door; before he left he gave me a hug and a kiss. As I watched him leave I grabbed myself some cereal, went into the living room, turned on the tv, and ate my cereal. Once I had finished I cleaned the dishes, went upstairs to grab my phone, and went back to the living room. After a few minutes of watching tv, I could feel myself fall back to sleep. When I woke up I checked the time and it read 5:12 in the afternoon. I had remember that we never said what time and so I texted Spencer

Spencer

Me: Hey Spence, what time is our date? I forgot to ask you.

Spencer: Oh yeah, um how's 7:30?

Me: oh that'll be good, Ok well I got to go get ready

Spencer: Wait- why do you have to get ready now? It's only 5:15, you have time.

Me: Spence I have to get ready now or you'll be waiting. I don't like having people wait on me.

Spencer: Oh I kind of understand now. Ok I'll pick you up at 7:30, and wear something casual by the way, bye

Me: Ok, can't wait, bye

I got off the phone and went upstairs to the bathroom I brushed my teeth, washed my face, then put on some makeup (you know like a small amount of blush, lip-gloss, mascara, and did my eyebrows, but anyways) I then went into my closet and grabbed an all-white picnic type dress, I put on the gold dove necklace my grandfather gave me. I heard the doorbell ring and I checked the time and it showed 7:27. I ran downstairs and put on my shoes with just some black converse. I opened the door and saw Spencer in a lilac dress shirt, black pants, and he was also wearing black converse.
