So I am going to keep going with this story I think. Also thanks for reviews and favourites the feedback is so helpful, I will try and get round to replying etc tonight, it is my mission!
With her head resting against Emily's shoulder, JJ began to grapple with everything she was thinking about, as the emotion began to cause memories to flood her scattered train of thought.
She did not find it hard to define the beginning, the point on which she could pin her fascination with the new, slightly elusive, dark haired agent who had so quickly become a member of their team. The first time they met was only a brief encounter. She had been bustling down the corridor, arms stacked with files, on her way to Garcia's office when she saw an unfamiliar face head into the elevator.
"Can you hold the doors please?" the press liaison yelped as she almost dropped her folders. The woman she would in several moments time learn was named Emily Prentiss, stuck her hand against the large metal doors and smiled appreciatively at JJ.
"Do you need help with those?" she asked, "I may be new to this unit but don't be fooled, I am exceptionally good at carrying files."
"You are the new agent joining the team? Well, I would shake your hand but as you can see that may be a tad difficult..."JJ went to continue her sentence and introduce herself properly but realized the woman in front of her was standing waiting with her arms out expectantly.
"Oh, thanks, you are a life saver" the blonde replied awkwardly, dropping half her pile in the outstretched arms, "I'm Jennifer Jareau, the media liaison for the team, I am actually the one you will be seeing to get a rundown on the unit. I assume you have talked to Agent Hotchner already?"
"Yep, he mentioned you would be the person to see and I am Emily Prentiss by the way," she explained as the elevator drew to a halt and they both stepped out into the quiet corridor ahead of them. "As you can see though, my one true calling in life is lifting heavy piles of paper, I think I should just forget about the FBI, don't you?"
"Oh, yeah, definitely" JJ nodded in agreement. Reaching the end of hallway, Emily handed the shorter woman back her papers, smiling broadly as she did so, catching her a little off guard.
"Well I guess I will be seeing you again soon enough won't I, and maybe my paper carrying skills can once again be put to good use?"
"Perhaps" JJ muttered as she watched the brunette head in the opposite direction, completely perplexed by the situation.
After dropping off her files with Garcia, JJ wended her way back to her office and made herself comfortable as she opened a new case to assess. It wasn't long before her mind began to wander, settling itself on one Emily Prentiss. She couldn't seem to place her feelings about the new agent however and attempted to draw her thoughts back to her work. After another five minutes though, her mind was still mulling over the brunette, analysing her features, the dark eyes that had warmed as soon as she began to speak, the mouth that smirked slightly as she had departed and the walk that had showed no sign of hesitation, only confidence and utter assuredness. Something about the women intrigued her and the liaison only hoped that she would see her sooner rather than later.
All JJ could think about, while sitting wrapped in Emily's arms was this moment, the moment she knew there was something unique about Emily Prentiss. That was the day, unbeknownst to her, that she had begun to edge towards a slippery slope, a slope that lead to her sobbing uncontrollably in an a fifth floor bathroom, curled in the brunette's lap.
