Rossi walked out of his office into a shamrock-green decked out Garcia.
"Don't even think about it", Rossi said, side-stepping away from Garcia. "Just because I don't have on green where you can see", he said, "doesn't mean you get to pinch me."
"Oh you naughty boy!" Garcia said, laughing. "Point taken. But here, take one of these anyway. It's for our game later tonight at your place." Garcia handed him a 'Kiss Me I'm Irish' button that lit up in bright green lights.
"I'm…just going to turn off the light until tonight, if you don't mind", Rossi said, as he was starting to get vertigo from the flashing lights.
"Spoiled Sport", Garcia said, giggling. "Tonight, you better be lit up like a Christmas tree!"
Rossi headed out the door to his house to get things ready for the evening. "Oh, everyone will be lit!" Rossi said, chuckling.
Hotch ran into Morgan and Reid who's buttons were flashing so brightly, it temporarily blinded him.
"She got you too, huh?" Morgan said, seeing Hotch's button.
"If this was anybody else but Garcia…" Hotch said. Emily and JJ walked up to Reid and stood on either side of him and both kissed him on the cheek.
"How come I can't get in on that action?" Morgan said folding his arms and laughing.
"'Yes you can", she said. "You have a way with the ladies, right?" Emily said playfully squeezing his arm. Hotch smiled at Emily. Her hair seemed so much shinier today, the way her dark grey pants hugged her hips and her lime green sweater showed off the curvature of her… Wait, he thought. Where did that come from?
"Hotch?" Morgan said.
Hotch shook his head. "Yeah, Morgan."
"I was asking if you were ready to go to Rossi's. We're heading out now." Emily, JJ, Reid and Morgan all looked at Hotch quizzically.
Hotch picked up his briefcase. "Yeah, I'll meet you there."
Hotch sped past the group, his brief case discreetly covering his nether region.
"What was that all about?" JJ asked, grabbing her stuff and heading toward the elevator with the group.
"I dunno", Reid said. "Maybe he's just really ready to go to Rossi's and let off some steam. I know I am."
The group agreed and as Emily exited the elevator, she pondered the strange smile that Hotch gave her that made her heart thump.
Rossi got home in record time and made ready for the group to get there. Pasta was boiling, sauce was bubbling, and the wine was breathing.
The door bell rang and Reid was the first there. Then, one by one, the whole team arrived.
"Good evening, everyone", Rossi said passing out wine glasses. "Tonight, we have two extra rules to the 'Kiss Me' game. One: you must wear your pin at all times and it must remain lit unless you've been kissed by everyone. Two: honesty is the best policy. All cards are on the table. No holds barred. We all agreed to this for Kitten, and because we seriously need to let off some steam and relax."
Everyone murmured in agreement and Rossi continued.
"The game of 'Kiss Me I'm Irish' is as follows. It's a simple game of truth or dare. All dares are kisses. But where those kisses are, well that's to be determined by the board!"
Rossi held up a small board that looked a lot like a twister board but it had body parts where the colors were.
"Shall we?" Rossi said.
The team nodded in agreement and each took a sip of wine.
*Off to the doctor I go. Just a check up, but new chapter very soon! Hope you guys like where this is going.*
