Sorry it took longer than expected to post this. Got sidetracked with work. Anyway, thanks for the reviews and alerts. I know it's not much, but I'm an avid Derek/JJ fan and I feel like there aren't enough stories with them in it. Thanks for reading and let me know what you think!
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
It didn't take long for Penelope to pull her car up in front of JJ's apartment building. Immediately noticing Derek's SUV at the end of the street, she turned to her blonde friend and faked a yawn.
"You know, JJ. I think for the first time ever, I've actually tired myself out. How 'bout a raincheck on those movies?"
"You? Tired?" JJ looked genuinely shocked before she shrugged and gathered her bags. "If you say so, Pen. We can reschedule for later this week, as long as no cases come up. I could use a good nights' rest, too."
"It's a date! Good night, sweet pea!" Penelope grinned.
"You too, Pen. Thanks for taking me out today. I had a good time."
"Anytime, sweetie."
Climbing the stairs towards her apartment, JJ yawned. Today had been tiring and while she loved her friend, she definitely just wanted to eat dinner and curl up on her couch. Pausing at her door to dig her keys out, she frowned when she heard music coming from inside her apartment. Trying to think back to this morning, she shrugged and decided she must have forgotten to shut her radio off in her rush to get to Penelope's.
Unlocking the door, JJ pushed it open and once inside, immediately froze at the sight before her. Her disastrous apartment was clean, really clean. And there in her kitchen, on her kitchen table, were two candles, letting off a slight glow, as well as two sets of dinnerware, a bottle of wine, and a large serving plate of what she assumed was some sort of pasta. Or hoped, since it was her favorite. But the biggest surprise of all was the man standing beside the table, dressed in a pair of khakis and polo. He slowly approached her, grinning nervously.
"What…?" JJ struggled to form a coherent sentence as she tried to wrap her mind the scene in front of her. "Derek?"
Taking a deep breath, Derek Morgan lifted JJ's chin with his index finger and pressed his lips to hers, pulling back slightly after a second to meet her eyes. "Happy Mother's Day, JJ."
