Suddenly Erin's phone rings and she reaches out to check the caller I.D. before she answers it. She smiles when she sees David's picture on her smart phone. "Hi sexy." Erin says happily when she answers the phone.
"I sure hope you don't answer the phone like that all the time. You sound like Garcia." David teases Erin.
"Only when I know it's you the other end. How are you doing?" Erin asks sweetly.
"I'm exhausted and we've gotten nowhere in this case. I just needed to hear your voice. I wish I was there with you. I hate this hotel and I miss you so much. What are you up to?" Dave asks with a yawn.
"Just a bubble bath with that apricot scented stuff you like." Erin says cheekily.
David groans. "You are terrible. I'm a thousand miles away and I can't do anything about that statement. That's not fair."
"I wish you were here. The house is so empty without you. How long do you think it will take for you to solve the case?" Erin asks gently.
"I don't know. It's already been longer than we expected. It's more complicated than we thought." David sighs heavily.
"Who are you staying in a room with?" Erin asks trying to keep David's mind off the disturbing case he's working on.
"I'm staying in a room with Hotch because Reid and Morgan refuse to share a room with either of us anymore because we snore too badly. Will you stay on the phone with me for a while? I'm not tired yet." David pleads with Erin.
"Of course, sweetheart. I'm going to put you on speaker. The water's getting cold and I want to put my pyjamas on." Erin hits the speaker button and sets her phone down on the window sill. She climbs out onto the bath mat and wraps a towel around her body.
"How are you doing?" David asks trying to keep the conversation going.
"Work is pretty dull without you around. I have a meeting with the director on Monday and I haven't been sleeping well since you left on the case so I've been an absolute bear at work." Erin yawns as she speaks.
"Oh Erin, sweetheart, you need to sleep especially if you have a meeting with the director in a couple of days. Which pyjamas are you wearing?" David asks curiously.
"I'm wearing my blue silky pyjamas and I'm curled up in bed listening to your sexy voice." Erin tells David.
"I wish I was there to hold you in my arms. Maybe we'd both be sleeping better." David says honestly. "I haven't been sleeping well either."
"Is Aaron in the room? I'm pretty sure he's not really comfortable hearing this conversation even if it is only half of it." Erin teases David.
"Well, he'll just have to put up with it. I've had to listen to half of his conversations with Hayley and now Beth." David says seriously.
"Fair enough. Why do I get the impression that your nights in the hotels are more like summer camps than anything else?" Erin teases gently.
"That's an accurate description. We have late night get togethers and all sorts of things. We're not as rowdy as kids at summer camp though and there's no room swapping." David contemplates Erin's question.
"Well, you are the expert on room swapping, David. You did it for long enough." Erin says cheekily.
"Erin, you wound me! It's true, but you wound me. You know me well enough to say that that's true of me, or it was at one point, but it isn't anymore. I am faithful to you." David says seriously.
"I know that David. I trust you completely. I know not everyone does, but I do. I love you." Erin says sweetly. She yawns softly.
"I love you too, sweetheart. You sound tired. Should I let you go?" David asks gently.
"No, please just keep talking to me. Your voice is so soothing." Erin pleads with David.
"That's quite a compliment Erin. I'll stay on the phone as long as you want. Have you talked to your kids recently?" David asks trying to keep Erin talking to him.
"I talked to my oldest yesterday, but my youngest two haven't got back to me yet. Jamie and I are in a much better place in our relationship. She asked about you. She said she could tell from my voice how much I was missing you. She's a smart girl." Erin admits to David.
"The last time I talked to Garcia she said I sounded mopey. She also said she wasn't used to seeing you so often. She said you seemed more stressed and upset than usual without me around. It was sweet really when she said she was trying to keep an eye on you. I'm happy you've been accepted as part of the team." David yawns loudly.
"You should get some sleep, sweetheart. What are you wearing right now?" Erin asks cheekily.
"I'm wearing my green plaid pyjama pants and a t-shirt. Why?" David asks curiously.
"No reason. Just curious." Erin skirts the question.
"Quit having phone sex with me in the room!" Hotch hollers on Dave's end.
Erin bursts out laughing when she hears Hotch's voice. "I think that's our clue to stick to more neutral topics when Aaron's around. Tell him I'm sorry."
"Hey Hotch, Erin wants to apologize for embarrassing the hell out of you." Dave says to Hotch.
"David! You were just supposed to say sorry! What am I going to do with you?" Erin grumbles at David.
"Well, anything you could do with me would be tough to do 1000 miles away." David says cheekily.
"Dave!" Hotch groans. "Too much information! I don't need the details of your love life! I don't go into the details of my love life!"
"I'm going to say good night and I love you. Call me tomorrow?" Erin asks sadly.
"I love you too. Of course I'll call you tomorrow. I'll call you every day until I come home." David promises Erin.
"Bye David." Erin says sweetly.
"Bye Erin." David says with a smile. He ends the call and sets the phone down on the bedside table.
