Chapter Three

Saturday arrived and Emily had awoken feeling bright and energetic. She couldn't believe how well the night before had gone. She knew Abby had a few insecurities and who wouldn't when you had the success she had, but Emily thought she had quelled a few of them with the fact she was an Ambassador's daughter and with the fact she was a federal agent. As she roamed around her kitchen making coffee and some breakfast, her cell rang out. She knew it would be JJ, seeing how her evening had gone.

"Prentiss."

"Your up? So…how'd last night go?"

"Great…amazing actually."

"Was he the perfect gentleman or is it breakfast for two?" JJ jibed.

"No…he…was the perfect date," Emily hated lying and she had never actually been that good at it. But she had managed to fool everyone this far, so she had to keep it up a little while longer, just incase.

"Good, well you want to meet up? Because I may have slipped up a little on the Penelope front and she is very eager to hear all about it," JJ grimaced hoping her friend wouldn't be too mad she told the computer whiz.

"Thanks JJ! Thought we had a deal?" Emily on a faux hurt voice. "Yes, we can meet up and talk all about it, if that's what will make you too happy."

"Good well, we'll be at yours about midday okay?"

"Okay…see you guys then, bye JJ."

"Bye Emily" JJ laughed.

Putting the phone down she wasn't sure if she should lie to them about who her date was actually with. But how could she tell them that the perfect gentleman was actually the perfect lady? No she would just have to keep up the facade a little longer, until she knew if it was going anywhere or not.

"Why the hell was I the last to know about your date?" Garcia demanded as Emily opened the door to her friends.

"Hello to you too Penelope, and technically you're not the last to know, the guys don't know about it," Emily glared at JJ. "Do they?"

"Nope, well at least I didn't say anything." JJ and Emily threw their eyes to Garcia

"I may have mentioned it to Derek, but only because I was upset that you didn't tell me," Garcia poised.

"Well either way you were not the last to know then were you? And now I get a million and one questions on Monday from Morgan, thanks Pen," she laughed sarcastically.

"Sorry…but anyway…." Garcia collapsed on Emily's couch, "Details woman. Details and coffee!"

Emily told them all about her date, but they were insisting on what 'he' looked like. How could she describe Abby!

"Well he's you know…"

"Hot! He must be, if you're being this coy about it all," Garcia snorted, nudging her friend. Lucky for Emily JJ's cell went off.

"So much for a lay-down," Emily sighed.

"Okay I'm on my home now, okay…love you too," JJ placed the cell back into her pocket "Sorry guys I gotta go, Henry's woke up, and I quote, funny," she smiled.

"Yeah I had better go too…but we want to meet this guy! And soon!" Garcia said making another demand.

"We've had one date Garcia, come on!" Emily laughed.

"See you later Em," JJ laughed pushing Garcia out of the door.

The next day she had gone for a run, took a shower and was planning on going shopping. Just as she grabbed her keys to head out her cell rang out.

"Prentiss," she answered as she opened her front door to leave.

"Hey…it's Abby."

"Hey you…what can I do for ya?"

"Well…err…I got tickets to a screening for a new film, I'm a little scared and I don't want to go it alone, so…"

"A horror movie, oh please tell me it's Freddy?"

"Yeah it is," Abby laughed.

"I would love that, what time?"

"Err…nine-thirty, I mean you don't have too…ouch, Kel, that hurt, sorry…"

Emily laughed "Your sister huh?"

"Yeah" Abby smiled at the fact she knew, but inward was a little embarrassed.

"I really would love to go, is it the complex downtown? You want me too meet you there?"

"Yeah, yeah sounds good…so I'll see you later then."

"Yes you will, see you then," Emily closed the phone with a smile, there had to be a catch somewhere here, surely.

"I cannot believe you're scared by horror films!" Emily mocked.

They had gotten quite close in the dark cinema, Abby seemed generally petrified by the film, much to Emily's amazement.

"I wasn't scared," she replied defensively. Emily gave her a glare. "Okay, okay…I don't like horror movies, I did sort of warn you though. It was why I asked you too come!" she laughed.

"Oh really? So it wasn't for the company?" Emily nudged her.

"Of course there was that too," she replied returning the nudge.

"So, how about we grab take-out? 'Cause I don't know about you but I'm famished."

"Sure I'd like that," Abby gave her smile.

"Your place or mine?"

"Well my sisters at mine so you'll just get the third degree. I think your place is the best option."

"What you not ready for intro's just yet?" Emily asked playfully.

"I think it's way too soon for that embarrassing conversation!" Abby laughed "She has way too many stories about me and I really don't want her to scare you away."

"I think I have proved I don't scare that easily," Emily slipped her hand into Abby's and she gave it a squeeze. "But if you'd prefer my place…that's fine."

"This really is a nice place you've got," Abby told her while she grabbed the menus.

"Thanks, here have a browse."

"Okay…" she replied glancing over the menus.

"Coffee or something stronger?"

"Whatever you're having is fine."

Emily was getting nervous, she had a beautiful and intelligent woman in her condo and she had no clue what she wanted to do about it. Well she had some clues, but didn't want to be too forward.

They made their order and Emily poured them some wine. They talked for awhile while they waited.

They continued their conversation, about families etcetera, while they ate. Once they had finished Emily couldn't resisted her urge to kiss her again, their first kiss was amazing and she wanted more.

She leaned across the couch and placed her hands to cup her face. Then she placed her lips upon hers and within no time at all the kiss began to deepen.

"Emily?" Abby asked, pulling away from here briefly.

"Yeah," there was a pause until finally Abby said "Nothing" and smiled replacing her lips back to Emily's.

Abby leaned over leaning Emily as far back onto the couch as she could and began to trail kisses down her neck and to her collarbone. She placed her hand onto her breast, but no sooner as they had both got into the mood, Abby's cell started buzzing.

"Sorry, I've got to take this." she lifted herself up and answered her phone. "Hello…what do you mean it blew up? What the hell was you doing testing it today, it's a Sunday for…okay, turn it all off I'll be there in an hour." she closed her phone and glanced at Emily. "I'm sorry…I have to go," she watched as Emily sat back up.

"Yeah, I know that feeling," she laughed. "It's fine." Abby cupped her face placing another kiss solidly on her lips.

"Call me when you're free next, we can pick up where we left off…if you'd like to."

"I would really like that, hell I will probably do this to you occasionally," she smiled.

"Yeah, I never thought it would be my work pulling me away on a Sunday," Abby laughed.

Emily walked her to the door and Abby gave her one last kiss "Thanks for tonight, I had a really great time."

"No problem," Emily winked. "Anytime you need a hand to hold through a scary movie, I'm here."

Abby laughed "Good, cause I get scared through even the most light hearted of movies!"

They shared one last kiss before Abby left leaving Emily a little frustrated but very satisfied at the same time.
