The Prompt: Is There Life After Love? by country artist Shania Twain.
Supervisory Special Agent Emily Prentiss was asking herself is there life after love. She has been in love with Supervisory Special Agent in Charge Aaron Hotchner for longer than she cared to think about let alone admit. She was tired of wearing her heart out on him waiting on him to realize that she was right in front of him and that she was in love with him. She decided that tonight she would try to have fun and move on even if it ended up killing her inside.
Yes, tonight was their weakly bar night. She had tried to get out of it but she did not succeed so therefore she was going to make sure she looked her best and that she put on the act of her life. She knew that Aaron was starting to figure out that something was wrong with her and she did not want him to figure out what it is. She needed to make him think everything was right in her world and she would even if it was the last thing she ever did.
She took in a couple deep breaths and then pulled open the door to the bar and entered. She waited until her eyes adjusted to the muted lighting and then plastered a smile on to her lips as she spotted the team at a table and walked over there with her head held high. She knew that she looked good tonight in a sky blue halter top and black mini skirt with knee high boots on.
She saw Aaron's eyes widen at what she was wearing but she did not let the smile out that wanted out. In fact she just ignored him and placed her handbag on the table and then made her way out to the dance floor since one of her favorite songs was playing and she lost herself in dancing. She felt someone come up behind her and she turned around to come face to face with a man she did not know. She shrugged her shoulders and then started dancing with him.
Aaron saw the man putting his hands on Emily and he jumped out of his seat. He did not bother answering any of the questions that were threw his way. He made his way through the people on the dance floor and over to where Emily was dancing with the unknown man. He did not say anything to the man or Emily the only thing he did was pull Emily away from the man and into his arms right before he crashed his lips down on to Emily's unsuspecting lips.
When he needed to breathe he pulled his lips off of hers and growled "You are mine Emily. I cannot take another man touching you. Have I waited too long to make you mine?"
Emily looked at Aaron in shock. "No, Aaron you have not waited too long to make me yours. I have been in love with you for what seems like forever. I was just finally admitting to myself that I needed to move on because I never thought that you would see me waiting for you."
Aaron smiled and bent his head and kissed Emily tenderly. "Oh no my sweetheart I see you."
With that Aaron bent his head back down once again and poured all the emotion he had into the kiss with his one and only true love. It was then and there that both Aaron and Emily realized there was life after love but being together with the one you love was the most important thing.
