The Prompt: She Won't Be Lonely Long by country artist Clay Walker
Supervisory Special Agent in Charge Aaron Hotchner could not believe how much he had screwed up. He finally got the woman of his dreams who also happened to be his subordinate and colleague Supervisory Special Agent Emily Prentiss but then he went and messed it up. He did not understand why he had screwed up so badly when all he saw and wanted was Emily. It was like his brain or his head was trying to overrule his heart.
He stared out into the bullpen and saw her hunched over her desk and his heart broke. He wanted her but he knew that if he did not get his head on straight fast that she won't be lonely long. He knew that he would not be able to handle seeing her with some other man. So he stayed up in his office looking out his window at the woman who owned his hear and had for the better part of a year now.
He knew that he was going to have to find some way to make it up to her. He knew that he did not want to live without her. He knew that he could not live without her. With that thought in his mind he made his way out of his office and down to Emily's desk. As soon as he stopped in front of her desk he smiled when she looked up at him and he could still see all the love she felt for him in her eyes. He knew then that it would be okay and that they would be okay.
"I am so sorry for hurting you Emily. I was just afraid and I know that you would never hurt me. It was just my head overruling my heart and for that I am truly sorry. Do you think that you could forgive me Emily? I do not want to live without you and I cannot live without you. You are the reason my blood flows through my veins. You are the reason my heart beats in my chest. You are the reason I breathe." Aaron said.
Emily smiled up at Aaron and said "Of course I can and I will forgive you Aaron. I love you. You are the reason I get up every morning. You are the reason I can make it through the day. You are the reason that I am able to do everything that I do. I can live without you but I do not want to live without you. I like the way my life is with you by my side."
Aaron let out a relieved breath as he walked around Emily's desk and pulled her out of her chair and into his waiting arms. He smiled when she wrapped her arms around his neck. He knew then and there that everything would be just fine with him and with them.
