The rest of the day went by relatively the same way it normally does. Though JJ and I did sneak more glances at each other more than we normally do. I tried to focus on work as much as I could but it was difficult knowing that JJ and I would be on date in just a few hours. Up until about 4:30 I was fairly productive, then I started checking the clock at least once a minute. Sometime about 4:45 I unconsciously started to pack my things. Morgan walked by and shook his head and laughed as I checked the clock for about the fifth time that minute.

"You know baby doll, if you are that anxious to leave, I'm sure no one will miss you if you leave 10 minutes early. What's got you so riled up anyways? You got a hot date or something?"

"Maybe I do, wouldn't you like to know." I said smirking at him as I grabbed my bag and walked out of the bullpen. I quickly made it to my car and started to make my way to my favorite flower shop. I knew JJ was picking and taking me out on a date but I am a romantic at heart and I wanted to make our first date special. I figured giving her a single rose would be a good start. When I got to the flower shop I immediately wound my way through the shop to the roses. I was drawn to the red roses but I wasn't sure. I'm not sure how long I stood in front of the roses before the little old lady who owned the shop walked over.

"First date deary?" She asked kindly. I just nodded. She laughed lightly. "You can never go wrong with a single red rose. She will love it."

I turned to her with my mouth slightly agape in surprise that she would guess that I was going on a date with another female. "Don't give me that look. Not very many girls come in to my shop confused about what to get for their male date. It is usually the boys confused about what to get. They never go for roses though." She continued to ramble for a bit. "Oh dear, I've just sat here and talked your ear off. Get the red rose dear." So I did. She then took the rose and trimmed all of the thorns off and wrapped it with a blue ribbon. I was surprised that the ribbon did not detract from the brilliance of the rose. I took the rose and paid for it, thanking the woman for helping me.

I raced to my apartment, and as soon as I made it through the door I gently say the rose on the table next to the door where my keys went. Then I started to strip out of my work clothes. When I got to my closet I realized that I didn't know where JJ was taking me and I had no idea what to wear. I stared blankly at the closest for a while before I decided that I should dress nicely but not for going to work. I picked out a nice pair of dark jeans and a white button down blouse, and a pair of killer heals. I put on the jeans but left the heals and the blouse on the bed before I went to fix my makeup and hair. I didn't want to get anything on the blouse, that wouldn't make a good impression. I had no idea why I was so nervous. It was just JJ.

I was ready about 6:50. I sat on the couch for a bit but the closer to 7 it got the more anxious I got. 7 came and went and then I started pacing. Sergio was looking at me like I was a mad woman as I paced a path in front of the door. I started to worry that she decided not to come that she stood me up when there was a knock on the door. I smiled realizing that it was probably JJ. Went to open the door and looked through the peephole. She was looking down and was ringing her hands. I unlocked the door and reached for the rose. As soon as I opened the door JJ's face brightened and she didn't seem as nervous. She was dressed similarly to me so I guess I did a good job on that, not over dressed and not underdressed. JJ looked beautiful. Well she always looked beautiful, but tonight especially she looked stunning. I think it was the fact that her eyes looked even bluer due to the blouse that she was wearing. I noticed that the color of her shirt matched the color of the ribbon around the rose as I handed it to her.

She looked at the rose and blushed then she gently brought it to her nose to smell it. "Thank you, its beautiful," she said as she gently twirled the ribbon around her finger, she looked up at me. "You didn't have to get me anything. Why did you get me a rose?" she asked looking somewhere between confused and hurt.

"Because I wanted too. I wanted to do something for you, no other hidden meaning," I said gently, wondering what could have happened in her life to cause such a reaction.

JJ looked at her watch, " We need to get going if we are going to make our reservation. Sorry I was late getting here and everything. "

"Its okay its only by a couple of minutes, I know how it is traffic, figuring out the right outfit, so on. Its totally alright I said as we walked out the door.
