Chapter 3
Eight days later, JJ returned home from the Oregon case. It had been an exhausting case and especially brutal. JJ couldn't wait to just get home, plop onto her bed, and fall into a deep sleep never to awaken.
Memories of the gruesome case surfaced to her mind. Reid immediately flashed to her mind. He had hassled her all week, asking if she was okay. JJ was grateful for his compassion, but was highly annoyed by his constant inquiries. Somehow she had managed to fend him off, and keep her little pretend fairytale life intact.
JJ finally was at home and ready to forget the world. The second her head hit the pillow, all her worries about Reid and work disappeared. Only thoughts of Will and his mysterious behavior consumed her mind. Slowly her eyes closed, she fell into a deep sleep.
Will quitely entered the house, as he closed the door, he checked his watch.
9:53
Not too late, but too late for JJ to not notice he had been gone all day. Forced back by the deformed man, Desmond, to help prepare for the ceremonies and enterings of the new young.
Will wanted to return to his wife, after all he still loved her, very dearly, he just couldn't refuse the master. Bad things happened when the master was disobeyed. Will was scarred from all the things he has seen, being Desmond's right hand man was not an easy job. It required a lot of time and sacrifice, and he hasn't even begun to think about the latest sacrifice, he knew was inevitable.
Will shook his head and tried to rub the sleep from his eyes, he had been up for the last 15 hours with not a blink of rest. But Will knew better than to challenge Desmond, he fought through the tireless hours of tedious work. JJ honestly got him through each day, he would go and beckon to Desmonds call, all the while thinking of his beautiful wife and how he would get to return to her again that night. So much love and compassion filled his heart when he thought about JJ, of course he knew she was way out of his league and that he didn't deserve her. Especially after the hell he is going to make her go through, he just couldn't refuse Desmond. Maybe one day the opportunity will arise.
Will entered the bedroom to find JJ asleep, in her work clothes, on their made bed. The corner of his mouth twitched into a small smile. This girl worked her butt so hard, she literally came home and passed out.
That's my girl. Will thought to himself, still smiling.
He headed back to their closet and quickly got changed out of his work clothes. He came back to their bed and JJ was still out cold. He hated that he would have to wake her up, but if either of them were going to have a good sleep, he would have to wake her up.
Will gently shook JJ's shoulder and called her name.
She was instantly awoken with a jump and terror written all over her pale face.
"Jayje, are you okay?" Will asked.
"Yeah, yeah." JJ said and shook her head in confusion, then rubbed her tired eyes.
"Im sorry I had to wake you, I just thought you'd like to change out of your work clothes." Will said with his southern smolder, a small smile of knowing filled his face. JJ now remembered the earlier days events and looked down to see her wrinkled work clothes.
"Damn." JJ muttered.
"Go get changed." Will chuckled and started to turn down the bed.
JJ quickly entered their closet and searched for some big sweats. The remainder of her night mare still had an effect on her shaking body. Luckily Will hadn't noticed, so shedidn't have to come up with some little lie to ease his worries.
The nightmare had been terrifying, the dream had seemed so real. It chilled JJ to the bone. She just kept hearing her own scream from her dream over and over and over. JJ shuddered at the thought. Stupid nightmares kept freaking her out, she didn't have time for any of that crap. She quickly wiped her sweaty hands on her sweat shirt and the rolling sweat from her forehead on her sweats. After feeling at least semi-normal and presentable, JJ left the closet and headed back to her bed. Will was already in it and ahead a seductive look on his face.
"Do you really think you're going to get some tonight?" JJ asked, completely serious.
Wills face dropped.
"Well. . ."
"You were gone all day, with no phone call, not to mention your random disappearing acts during the middle of the night." JJ jumped right in, ready to tackle the problem at full speed.
"Can we talk about this tomorrow? You're exhausted and so am I." Will quickly dodged the question.
"I think you owe me an explanation." JJ countered.
"I've been working on finding another job. I got laid off a couple weeks ago." Will quickly lied.
"What? Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was embarrassed." Will lied again.
"We are doing fine with my salary as it is, look for a job. Everything will be fine. But you really don't need to leave during the night. Are you really that desperate? And to hide it from me?"
"I'm really sorry Jayje." Will said.
Sincerity actually overcame his face. He knew just how sorry he was and was going to be in just a few days.
