JJ checked herself in the rear view mirror before she left her car. It wasn't like she was a vain person, the exact opposite really; she wasn't checking her makeup she was making sure there wasn't any unusual smile on her face.

She had met someone the night before. Someone she liked a lot. It was only a first date; wasn't even that really; they had met at a bar and had gotten to talking and then they had gotten to other things. Nothing too much; she wasn't that kind of girl. Nothing more then a kiss; maybe a little tongue.

She was blushing just thinking about it. That had to stop. The people she worked with would catch on to her blushing or smiling or daydreaming. They were some of the best minds, the best profilers in the world. They would see through her in a minute if she let them.

And then the interrogation would begin.

And JJ didn't want to be interrogated.

She liked her privacy. She always had. Her work was her work. Her private life was her private life. Not that they didn't mesh sometimes. The people she worked with were her friends; family really, but that didn't mean they had to know everything.

A girl had to keep some mystery after all.

That's why she rushed into the BAU and past the desks where Reid, Morgan and Greenaway sat. She ignored the friendly barb that Morgan was well known for and headed for her office. She needed more time to get her emotions in check.

"I think someone did get lucky last night." Morgan turned to Elle Greenaway.

"Will you stop it, not everything is about sex." Elle smiled.

"JJ is dating someone." Reid asked, "Did I know this?"

"No." Elle answered, "None of us do. And we don't."

"Just like we don't know that JJ and I have the same taste in women."

"Be that as it may." Elle paused, "Who JJ dates or has sex with is none of our business."

"I just want her to know she can tell us."

"And she will when she is ready."

"Wait." Reid paused, "JJ is gay. Did I know this?"

Elle shook her head, "Yes, Reid you did."

"Oh." Reid said and then went back to what he was reading.

JJ smiled as when she entered her office and checked her cell phone. There was a text message from her date from the night before.

I'll see u 2nite. Emily
