BROKEN AFFAIRS
Emily looked up from sleepy eyes at her fiancé leaning in for a goodbye kiss, she thought to herself hopefully they will get called out for a case so she would just not have to think about her relationship with him! As she watched him walk out of the room she rolled on to her back looking at the ceiling wondering how she had come to this point.
So much had happened in the past year her best friend married the love of her life making that night seem to bring her own realizations come into perspective thinking that Morgan had finally manned up about his feelings, she had left the BAU, she moved to London to run INTERPOL, she had gotten engaged to Hotch, Strauss had died, & now she was laying here in bed once again after vowing she would not give in sleeping with him on one of her visits to the states for business.
As she looked at the sparkly diamond on her finger she just grinned thinking how Aaron who had always made things so difficult for her while she was at the BAU, but something had changed after she came back from the dead and something had definitely changed when she told him she was leaving! She remembered how the week she was leaving Aaron told her how he had really felt about her and that he couldn't fathom not going any longer without her. She had told him that she was very flattered, but at that moment she could not reciprocate his feelings…..she said; sure I care for you although my feelings are quite different right now. Hotch had just looked at her to say I know your feelings are for a man who just keeps taking you for granted, he said damn-it Emily Morgan is a fucking fool!
Emily was brought back to the moment by a her phone vibrating on the nightstand, as she swiped her finger across the screen she saw the text message she had missed and answered to hear Aaron's voice on the other end…..she said: Aaron you just left how could you have already missed me…..he hesitated a little to say Emily I am so sorry but…..Emily thought thank god they have a case…Emily asked what are you sorry for…..Aaron let out a grunted sigh saying he would be flying out to the NYC field office for an internal investigation meeting which would take several days, Emily this is totally ruining our time together I just wish you had more than 3 days here this time. Emily tried not to show the relief in her voice before she told him it is ok, that this way she could catch up with everyone else and reminded him she would be back in a month for their wedding…..through gritted teeth as she realized it was only a month till their wedding day…..Hotch said I know Emily but I am just sick and tired of us being apart, but before he could go into the same old spill about her moving back state side she stopped him to say Aaron I am not having this conversation with you again….I am not leaving INTERPOL & I am not moving back anytime soon, we both agreed our careers take precedence right now! Aaron just huffed in the phone with a low I love you, but all he heard was Emily tell him she would speak to him tonight and then she ended the call.
Emily laid there knowing she was such a coward lying to him, why couldn't she had just told him last night what her real reason was for coming here, but when he had started kissing her and worked his fumbled hands across her body she figured what the hell, it was not like she was going to be jumping right into someone else's arms after she finally got the nerve up to just tell him! Emily looked back at her phone to check her missed message….it was an unknown number…she picked the icon to look at the message that said: Hey Princess, I was wondering if you are free for lunch today! ; ) D…..with the grin of what looked like a cherished cat she replied back….Sure, what time?...a few seconds later the phone vibrated again…Great, if you are ready now we could meet now and catch up if not how long would it take you to get ready? D… she looked at the response to say…D, give me about an hour! Em…..he responded back with…..K, I will be there to pick you up then! xoxoD…..she looked at his last response with a giddy feeling in the bottom of her stomach.
Emily jumped out of bed to make herself acceptable, hell who was she kidding she wanted to knock his socks off, considering they had not seen nor spoken to each other in almost 5 months since Strauss's funeral, and even then they only said a simple hello and goodbye…..but if looks could kill, he had already murdered Hotch with his looks as he had his arms wrapped around her during the affair. Emily hurried to brush her teeth, take a shower & shave, then she jumped out dried her hair, and started putting on her makeup, & then she stressed even more what the hell was she going to wear….all she had was comfortable clothes and business attire, since she would only be here for 3 or 4 days she hadn't decided on needing to dress to impress anyone…..for fucks sake this was just Morgan, why was she stressing over what he thought it did not matter anymore she was with Aaron…..YES…..she was with Aaron and she thought how bad this would look, but then again they were just old friends who were having lunch together for old time's sake!
Emily had just buttoned up her jeans when she had heard a knock at the door of her suite, this was one of the times she was ever so grateful she thought that it was appropriate thinking that she would not stay at Aaron's house until after they were married, but then again she was just having lunch with an….she paused thinking what was Morgan really? She heard him knock again but a little louder, as she ran over to the door to let him in she took a giant breath in when she opened the door their he stood with that glistening smile and his arms wide open telling her to come here…..God she just about jumped in his arms…that's when she realized she was still holding her breath she let a labored breath out as she felt him squeeze her into him so tight…God he smelt so good and felt even better….Lord how she had missed his arms or him touching her period….as if coming back to her senses she pushed away from him enough for him to see the sparkling little diamond of her left ring finger and their went his smile and it was almost as if a storm erupted in his eyes, but it vanished just as quickly as it had come!
As the SUV pulled out into the main traffic, Emily asked so where are you taking me to eat? Derek looked at her with a slight grin, saying well since you are the fancy international jet setting CIA/INTERPOL head who makes all the money I thought you would be taking me out to lunch instead….with one quick punch to the shoulder, he flinched at rubbing at his arm as if hurt by it….to only chuckle saying their she is….God I have missed you Princess (Derek thinking about what an ass he had been is the only reason he had missed her so much)…..Emily just let out a slight chuckle saying she had missed him as well. (Thinking to herself how much she had really missed him)…..Their endless banner went on throughout lunch and on into the evening while they had found themselves sitting on a park bench overlooking the capital. Derek looked to Emily again trying to muster up the courage to ask the question that he had been dying to know for months, but he didn't want the day they had already enjoyed to be ruined …..so instead he asked her if she wanted to spend the evening with him? Emily's eyes about popped out of her head before she could answer his question…..Derek said: I mean not like spend…spend the evening I meant….hell I mean I do not want this to end can I take you to a dinner and a movie Emily?...Emily looked at him curiously but thought hell why not Aaron was going to be gone and she had no other plans except for some files to review before her meeting tomorrow for work, but she knew the other part of her just didn't want this to end either…..she had missed being around him….she missed their friendship…hell she could not kid herself she just missed him period!
They had managed to down Chinese from their favorite place since they had realized the movie they both wanted to see started at 8:30pm and then the next showing was not until 12am…So as they sat in the theater enjoying the previews for upcoming films Emily noticed threw her peripheral vision that Derek kept glancing at her, then he would sigh, and then he would rub his hands on the thighs of his jeans…..she slowly turned to look at him giving him a look of concern to say are you alright….are you feeling the after effects of the Chinese! Derek just kindof laughed shaking it off to say no I…I….I…just but instead of saying anything he just put his arm around her and pulled her towards him as if, she knew what he wanted she just leaned into him snuggling herself into his chest to watch the movie…. (Yes this did feel like old times….yes she was thinking things an engaged woman shouldn't be thinking…..& yes Derek did have other thoughts in mind).
As they stepped off the elevator onto her floor Derek kept his hand intimately placed on the small of her back, as they reached her suite door she told Derek it was really not necessary for him to have walked her up. Derek responded with a small chuckle then almost with a grin he said no but a gentleman never leaves a lady to walk alone from a date! Emily just looked at him, then said Derek you do know this wasn't a date don't you…this was just two friends catching up! Derek said no, but…..he then placed a chaste kiss on her lips for a few moments, to step away look at her saying now it was a date!
OK, NOW WHEN I STARTED THIS I HAD ONLY PLANNED ON IT BEING A ONESHOT, BUT I REALIZED I COULD DRAG THIS ONE OUT A LITTLE BIT….YES I KNOW IT IS NOT MY USUAL! SO IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT AND YOUR REVIEWS STATE THE OBVIOUS THEN I WILL NOT CONTINUE THIS, BUT IF YOU DO LET ME KNOW! I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN APPROPRIATE STOPPING POINT AND I WILL BE POSTING EVERYDAY UNTIL THIS IS DONE WHICH I PLAN ON BEFORE I LEAVE THIS WEEK!
