Discs.: I don't own CM or its characters...
A/N: This is a rewriting of one of Sammy Elle's fanfics. She had asked me to write this a while ago, so I did that...I wrote this in like twenty minutes and it wasn't corrected by a beta...
A fading smile
1.Shall we dance?
It was Elle's birthday and the team had decided to go out to celebrate. First they had went to their favorite Chinese restaurant and then they headed to a night-club. They all took a seat and ordered some drinks.
After a while Elle and JJ started to talk "quietly".
"Is there nobody you would rather spend your birthday with than with us? No boyfriend?" JJ looked curios at her.
"Nope."
"But there certainly is someone you have feelings for, right?"
Elle glanced at JJ and wondered if it was really so obvious.
JJ smiled at her and said : "Yep!" and Elle only realised in that moment that she had spoken her thought out loud.
"So what's the deal with the guy?"
Elle sighed and stated simply : "Well, he is kinda out of reach…"
"Why?"
Another sigh. "He is married and has a little son…"
With that the conversation was finished. A moment later Morgan and Reid came to them and asked for a dance. So they got up and went to the dance-floor.
When Elle and Morgan came back to their table Gideon and Hotch stopped for a moment their conversation and Gideon wanted to know : "You're having fun Elle?"
She only nodded. A moment later Reid and JJ joined them as well and suddenly Elle smirked and got up while looking straight at Hotch saying : "Hey, Hotch, you're up for a dance?"
He smiled, shook his head and stated firmly : "No way!"
"Oh come on, it's my birthday – and you could really use some fun…"
They others started laughing and after a few seconds Hotch realised that it was a loosing battle and surrendered.
He got up and followed Elle to the dance-floor. While the two of them were dancing the others were watching them discussing the fact that their boss was an amazing dancer…JJ' s cell phone started ringing and she got up to search for a more quiet place to take the call.
A moment later Hotch and a brightly smiling Elle came back to the table.
"Wow, I had no idea what a great dancer you are…" Elle commented.
Hotch looked at her in mock shock : "That hurts…" And they all burst out in laugher.
In that moment JJ came back and their smiles vanished when she told them : "Party is over…We have a new case…"
They paid their drinks and got up to leave. While heading out JJ told Elle : "Sorry for ruining your birthday party…"
"No problem JJ." She responded and smiled at her colleague.
