JJ POV
I quickly realized that my hand had brushed Emily's. I hadn't meant it. It was an accident.
"Woops sorry," I apologized quickly, so that she knew it was an accident. Secretly, however, I wished that I hadn't apologized, so that she had thought it was on purpose, in case she didn't mind it.
Emily shrugged and asked, "Do we have a case?"
"Yeah, guys, conference room?" She asked. They all nodded and responded with 'sure's'. The men all got up first. Emily waited until they had all left. Was she gonna say something to me? The thing I had been waiting for, for so long…
She stood and looked at me for a moment. I waited for her to speak, but she didn't. She just smiled at me.
"What?" I asked, laughing a little.
"Nothing," She said shaking her head, still smiling. She turned to go to the conference room.
"Wait! Emily," I called. Shit. Now I had called her. I had to say something.
"Yeah, Jayje?" She asked me. I swallowed.
"Uhm…Wanna come over tonight? My house? Girls night with Garcia or something? I mean it's Friday," I thought quickly on my feet.
"Sure," Emily said.
"Great…I"ll uh, mention it to Garcia," I said. This worked out better than I thought.
"Alright, good. C'mon, they're waiting," Emily said. I nodded and we quickly headed up the stairs and into the conference room. I quickly started talking about the case as Emily sat down. Inside I was so excited, but outside, I kept my composure. It was sort of like Emily's compartmentalization. As the FBI's media liaison, I had to do that.
Emily's POV
I sat down and listened as JJ talked about the case. Well, I wasn't really listening. I heard her voice, but the words were a blur to me. I was so focused on her face. She was beautiful. No. Stop it Emily. I had to stay objective on this case and I couldn't if I was head over heels for her. I took an easy deep breath. Focus. Focus. Then I remembered, Garcia had 'date night', a.k.a, movie night, with Derek. JJ knew that… Hmm…had she planned that on purpose? Well, any how, that just meant I was one step closer to her. My thoughts were broken up by Hotch's voice.
"Wheels up in 30," He said quickly and rose from his chair. He and Dave left first, followed by Reid. I looked and saw JJ talking to Garcia. I read Garcia's lips: 'maybe another time,' she said. I smiled. Derek looked at me when he saw me watching.
"Something up?" He asked. I was startled, because I didn't know he was there.
"What? Something up? Like what?" I asked. Crap. Repeating the question was a sign.
"Well? Is there?" He asked again.
"With who?" I asked. Maybe I could confuse him?
"You," He said.
"Wait, what were we talking about?" I asked.
"Never mind, Emily. I'll catch up with you later," He said and walked away. Yes. I could confuse him. I grinned and watched Garcia leave.
"She's all yours," She mouthed to me.
"Wait what?" I asked her, but she just smiled and walked away. Shit. Did she know? Wait…know what? I didn't even know if there was actually something between me and JJ to know.
"Uhm, Garcia and Derek are hanging out tonight, so it's just us," JJ said to me and then added quickly, "If that's okay with you."
"Yeah that's fine," I said smiling.
"Oh okay…" She said, "Good," She smiled, too. I smelt her perfume as she walked by me. It was a familiar scent. My favorite. I had to stay focused on this case, though. THen I could enjoy tonight.
