Italic's are character's internal monologue!
JJ awoke the next morning to find she wasn't alone in her bed, gingerly she turned to face her sleeping bed mate. JJ let out a sigh of relief, thankfully it was only Kate, JJ just wasn't ready for that awkward moment that would surely arise with waking up next to a complete stranger. Tentatively she slipped out of bed and grabbed her towel and shower bag hopefully after a quick shower she would remember more from her night on the town, cause now she was completely at a loss to what went on.
As the water cascades down JJ body, memories from the night before started to flood back
I remember Kate and I arriving at Quake to a chorus of wolf whistles from the awaiting guys queuing to get in and like the superstars we are merely head to the door to talk to Joe our favourite bouncer and make our way inside. The club was chock-a-block with a mixture of people of varying ages, the atmosphere was electric and everyone seemed sociable and in good form. Kate Being Kate took my hand taking us straight to the bar so as to scan the room as well as get our drink on. Quake has been our local club for the duration of our stay at Quantico, it had a modern vibe with a large dance floor, which housed a DJ , with a section upstairs to chill out in with a private bar and cosy seating area for couples or those who didn't want to strut their stuff on the dance floor. The DJ was fantastic last night pumping out the latest tunes and creating a exciting ambience. I remember Kate was trying to grab the attention of the barman to get us some drinks, after what seemed like forever, we finally got our traditional JD and cokes and thus began our night. Kate was dressed to kill, she was most definitely out to make a positive impression on the occupants of the club, dressed in a backless figure hugging red dress that accentuated her curves, her long brown hair was curled to frame her face perfectly, highlighting her striking smile and magnificent grey eyes. Kate if nothing else knew how to leave a lasting impression , after knocking back a couple of rounds of drinks, we decided we were sufficiently buzzed enough to make our way to the dance floor just as my favourite song began to play "Give me Everthing".
I grabbed Kate's hand and hauled us to the dance floor, to get our groove on. I was totally in my element, losing myself in the flow of the music. I loved being caught up in the beat of the music, moving my body to the rhythm of the tune. I could feel eyes watching us, I knew wearing a low cut red silk top with my figure hugging skinny jeans would bring me attention wanted and unwanted but I didn't care, I only wanted to enjoy myself and have some fun with my friend on her last night in Richmond. As the drinks kept flowing I could feel myself losing any remaining inhibition I had. As the music changed to a slow song, I could feel someone's arms wrap around my waist at this invasion of my personal space I looked up to see it was Kate moving closer. The rest of the evening drifted from dancing together and attending the bar to get refreshments and take a breather.
That all just seemed a normal Kate and JJ night out nothing really out of the ordinary there they often ended up in this routine on nights out. JJ walked back to her room to find Kate still sleeping soundly. Deciding that she probably needed the extra sleep to prepare her for the exhausting task of moving that lay ahead of her, JJ made her way into the kitchen to get a much need coffee, God I wish I could just get a coffee iv she thought. As she listened to the coffee brew, she noticed her keys lay on the floor just inside the door and was suddenly pulled back to the memory of getting home last night….
After a painful struggle to get my key in the door in addition to preventing Kate from falling to the floor. Finally I shoved the door open and we stumbled to the couch, by which time Kate had seemed to regain her composure. "Hi you" she slurred , "Hi Kate" I laughed. She was moving closer to me on the couch but I thought nothing of it we had often snuggled up on the couch and woke up the next morning with serious aches and pains however last night was definitely different. Suddenly Kate looked up at me and moved herself to bring me into a hug or so I thought, but instead of hugging me Kate leant forward and captured my lip's with her own. Oh God I think I responded to her kiss didn't I, how did that happen I know I'm not attracted to Kate we have only ever been friends and even though I may have doubts about my sexuality I know Kate is unquestionably a heterosexual girl, I had to listen to her never ending bragging of her conquests.
"Hey morning Jen" yawned Kate as she walked into the kitchen quickly claiming JJ's coffee as her own.
"Earth to JJ are you ok?, you look like you have seen a ghost" she questioned JJ,
"Eh yeah, yeah , hey Kate do you remember anything from last night?" JJ asked, knowing she had to approach the subject of the kiss straight away so as not to ruin their friendship.
"uh sure, your talking about the kiss right, relax Jen, it's no big deal, I just wanted to see if you would respond and hoped it would finally make you see that you have beyond a shadow of a doubt feelings for women".
JJ just stood there too shocked to react, and unsure of what to say.
"You're an tremendous kisser by the way it's a pity I'm not into girls" she shrugged as she walked back to her room, presumably to get ready for her day of moving.
JJ still unable to move, began to laugh uncontrollably only Kate would go as far as kissing her to make her realise she could not to be as straight as she had previously claimed the day before and Kate was right she had only used Kyle.
This was not how JJ saw her first day as media liaison for the BAU beginning but she was relieved that her friendship with Kate was still intact and she could now admit at least to herself that she wasn't sure where she stood in terms of her own sexuality. But that question would have to wait as she had to go and get ready for her first meeting with her new team.
