Emily sits in the booth slowly sipping her third beer. She barely registers Garcia approaching her.

"My Brunette Beauty, what has got you so quiet and sulky? You should be out there on the dance floor shaking that fine ass of yours, and the men will flock to you."

JJ walks up and shouts over the loud music "Yeah, Emily why won't you come and dance with us?"

Internally Emily is torn. She wants to tell JJ and Garcia the truth about her sexuality, after all they have been friends for almost a year now. But for some reason she is afraid of what their reaction might be, more specifically JJ's reaction.

The blonde was definitely attractive, anyone could see that. JJ's golden blonde hair contrasted greatly with her porcelain blue eyes and the soft curves of her body flowed so beautifully. You could see that she was in great shape, especially with the tight fitting jeans she had on. The issue Emily has is that she is attracted to JJ.

Emily snaps out of her trance when she realizes that JJ and Garcia are waiting for her answer. "I'll get out there and dance, but only if it's with a woman."

It takes a second for it to register, but then Garcia squeals excitedly. "I knew it! I had an inkling that you were into to chicks but I just couldn't prove it! That is what you are saying right?"

Emily nods and slowly turns JJ trying to gauge the blonde's reaction. She looks at her and can't really read what JJ is thinking. Emily gives the blonde a timid smile, which JJ returns.

Garcia is bouncing on her feet plotting on how to hook the brunette up with a girl, but spots a man on the edge of the dance floor. "I think that fine hunk over their needs some attention. I'll be soon back ladies." and Garcia is off with a quick wave. JJ chuckles and Emily just shakes her head.

JJ slides into the booth next to Emily and turns to face the brunette. "Why didn't you tell me sooner Em?"

Emily looks down at her now almost empty beer and spins it around, taking another sip before answering. "I guess it's because my sexuality isn't something I go flaunting around. I am very, um, reserved about my personal life, and maybe I was a little worried about how you would react."

Emily sees a flash of hurt cross JJ's face, and realizes that she had misjudge her. "You know that this doesn't change anything right? You are still the same Emily."

Emily gives JJ one of her lopsided grins, "Yeah. I guess I should have known that it wouldn't. You and Garcia are my best friends."

JJ puts her hand on top of Emily's and says "You are my best friend too and nothing could change that." She gently squeezes Emily's had to emphasize her point. Emily feels herself blushing slightly, "Thanks JJ, I really needed to hear that."

JJ gives her a big smile, "No problem Em. So what else don't I know about you, that you would care to share?"

Now it's Emily's turn to smile, and with a devilish glint in her eyes she says "Too many things JJ, and I don't think I can tell you all of them." JJ eyes light up as she laughs and Emily finds herself laughing as well.

Garcia soon joins JJ and Emily again but she is now completely wasted. JJ chuckles as Garcia starts slurring the lyrics to song blasting in the club."I better take her home before she starts taking off her clothes."

Garcia pouts slightly "That was only once JJ" she slurs "And I was waaaay drunker than I am now. I could go all night."

This time JJ laughs out loud, "Yep, it's definitely time to get you home Pen." This time Garcia just grunts as a reply, leaning heavily onto JJ.

JJ rolls her eyes and huffs slightly, she turns to Emily giving her a bright a smile"I'm taking this one home. If I don't call you sometime this weekend, I'll see you on Monday."

Emily glances at Garcia, "Do you need any help with her?" JJ shakes her head "No, I've handled her when she's had more in her system. I should be fine."

Emily nods and smiles "Good Night JJ." To her surprise, JJ steps forward and gives Emily a tight hug before kissing her cheek "Good Night Em" she whispers in her ear.

Garcia reaches out to hug Emily "I always knew you had a thing for women, now wait until I tell Derek. He will recruit you to be his official wingman. Night sweet cheeks."

Emily just chuckles and shakes her head "Whatever you say, good night Pen."

And with that JJ is off with a wave, half leading, half carrying Garcia to her car.

Emily has to pause for a second to shake of the tingling JJ's embrace has left her. She shakes her head slightly before checking for her keys and heading out to her car.

"That girl is going to be the death of me." Emily thinks to herself.
