Chapter Six

Emily felt a little embarrassed, she remembered the night before and remembered getting to Abby's place. And she also remembered telling Abby she wasn't out of the closet yet.

She looked around the room she was in and got out of the bed. Abby wasn't there but she could hear music coming from outside the room. She noticed she was still dressed and she smelt like a beer factory! She glanced at the clock and it was almost seven, she was going to be late, but after last night she knew the others would understand. She saw a door and hoped it was a bathroom, which it was so she decided to take a shower.

After she tied her hair back and headed towards the music. "Hey any chance?" she asked pointing towards the stereo.

Abby smiled. "Of course" she pointed the remote to the stereo and switched it off. "How you feeling?" she asked sarcastically and with a grin.

"As well as to be expected," she grimaced, but with a light smile. "What you doing over there?"

"Working…I work from home sometimes, it's nothing…" she got up from her seat and walked over to the kitchen.

"So…" she paused, "About last night. What I said…about my friends not knowing I…"

"Emily, it's fine I understand…it's difficult, I don't think anything of it." She gave her a sympathetic smile and put her hand onto hers.

"I am going to tell them…"

"Okay," she reassured her, well as much as she could, but Emily was a profiler she knew it's was weird for Abby to think someone of their age was still treating their sexuality like a dirty secret. More so because she thought that too. "You want some coffee?"

"No it's okay…I need to get back to my apartment and get ready for work" she watched Abby grab herself a refill and smiled, this was a really domestic moment. If only she wasn't so hung over and in a hurry to enjoy it.

"Okay, well call me if you don't get a case…we could do something this weekend."

"Definitely…" she answered as Abby walked her to the door "Again sorry about last night…" she smiled awkwardly. "You have nothing to be sorry for," Abby laughed. "You were a nice semi-drunk," Abby kissed her and trailed a finger across her jaw line.

"I'll call you." Emily said as she left Abby's apartment.

The next few weeks went by without incident. Emily and Abby were getting closer each day. They just seemed to fit together amazingly well. She understood Emily's job and she had gotten a slight grasp on the work Abby did. She understood the engineer part anyway!

But Garcia wasn't laying off a bit, not like the rest of them, she was really pushing to meet this 'guy' she was seeing.

She was trying to find the right moment to tell them who she was really seeing, but every time she found one, they got a case or something came up for one or the other.

It had been over a month now and she couldn't put it off much longer, she had to find a way to tell them. Maybe if she just told Garcia…she would spread the word and she could just deal with the backlash. No she had to be a grown up about this situation. She really liked Abby, she was stable. Stable job, stable family. They had so much in common, her father was military and so was her older brother, so she moved around just as much as she did growing up, neither of them had much of a life outside of work which made it super amazing for each of them to have someone to go home to at night. But she still felt like there was a catch somewhere, Abby wasn't perfect, she had her little quirks like everyone. But she was still scared. Scared of how she was feeling and how quickly she was feeling it.

It was about six in the morning when she got the call from JJ, Abby heard Emily's cell ring and tightened her grip around Emily. "Let the machine get it," she said groggily, still half asleep.

"You know I can't," Emily shifted and went to grab her cell from the nightstand.

"Emily, they can wait another hour, if it's important they will leave a message."

Emily lay back down, knowing she was right, but it was hard for her to switch off. She fiddled with the covers and eventually Abby caved and lifted herself up. "Okay go ahead take it," she laughed sleepily. Emily grabbed the phone and listened to the message. The team had got a case in Houston and it sounded like a bad one she had to meet them at the airstrip, the briefing would be given on the way there.

Abby had given her a key to let herself in if she got back late or if she wasn't there. Luckily she had gotten back early and she let herself in to find Abby working on some plans at her desk in the lounge. "Hey," Emily called out.

"Hey." Abby got out of her seat making one last note on the plans in front of her. "How was it?" she said as she meet Emily in the middle of the room.

"Bad. But it turned out as best it could. How where things here?" she asked wrapping her arms around her neck.

"Err…yeah I need to talk to you about something," she spoke gently and Emily knew that it wasn't going to be good.

"What is it?" she tried not to look as panicked as she was, but Abby spotted it.

"It's nothing to worry about, it's just I have to go away for a while, makes a change huh? My work getting in the way," she smiled. Emily wasn't liking this idea at all!

"Why? Where?"

"A military base in Utah, it's for some weaponry testing's, that's all I can say."

"Okay…" Emily clicked that it wasn't going to a short trip "How long?" she asked bracing for the answer "A month."

"A month! Can't someone else do it?"

"No, the Colonel of the base asked for me so…I'm sorry," Abby placed a kiss on her cheek and then Emily brushed her lips over hers.

"You can get a secure line at the base right?" Abby nodded. "Then you could video call me…I could get Garcia to hook it up."

"But you haven't told them about us yet though."

"Well I'll just have too grow a pair won't I? I can't go a whole month without seeing you."

"There is an invention called a webcam," she laughed.

"That's not secure though is it?" Emily replied nibbling on her ear lobe, Abby laughed "No it's not…are you sure your ready?" Emily nodded "Okay then" Abby smiled.

"When do you leave?"

"Tomorrow morning 0900 hours" she said in a mocking tone.

"Well I had better make the most of you tonight then hadn't I?" Emily laughed, pushing her down onto the couch. "I'm so glad I got home early!" she smiled, leaning over her and kissing her lightly on the lips, Abby tried to deepen the kiss but Emily pulled back, then headed down her body lifting her shirt and kissing her stomach and eventually reaching her chest, she brushed a finger over her nipple through her bra. Abby lifted up to let her take the shirt off completely, then she attacked her cleavage. Cupping both her breasts and swiping them with her tongue through the thin material. She slowly unclasped the thin lace brassier, placing kiss along the top of her breast as she did so.

She lay down beside her on the large lavish couch and put her hand upon her core, rubbing her above the pants she was wearing. She could feel the heat rising beneath her hand. She used her other hand to fondle her breast and lay soft wet kisses along the back of her shoulder and neck.

She unclasped her pants one-handed and slipped a hand inside, sliding a finger past her folds and gently rubbed her clit. She could feel Abby riding her hand as she started to thrust her fingers deep inside. It didn't take long for her climax to take her over and Emily listened to her moan using her free hand to pull her mouth to hers. After kissing her slowly, as she came down from her high, she whispered into her ear huskily "Abs?…bedroom."

"Yes ma'am," her tone strained from the climax she just experienced.

The next day came, neither of them had gotten much sleep, but the satisfaction they were feeling form the nights activities was more than enough to keep them going.

Emily wrapped her arms around her lovers waist and kissed her neck as Abby packed her travel case.

"Emily, I'm going to be late," she laughed .

"I know, but I'm not going to get to do this for a whole month!" she moaned.

"You know…you could come and see me…I'm not going to be working the whole time…" she said turning around to face her, placing her temple to hers.

"Really? Aren't you staying on the base?"

"Hell no! There's a hotel a few miles away…staying on an Army base? Me? Really Emily I thought you knew me better," she laughed.

"I'll see what I can do!" she smiled feeling a little better about the situation "Call me when you've got the connection set up your end, then I'll patch you through to Garcia to work her magic," she placed a firm kiss on to her lips.

"I will," Abby glanced at the clock "I gotta' go."

"Yeah I know…" Abby turned back to fasten her case. "Abby?"

"Yeah."

Emily again wrapped her arms around her waist "Is it to soon to tell you I love you?" Abby spun around in her arms.

"Really?…I have wanted to say that since our first night together," she smiled "No it's not to soon in anyway, shape or form…I love you too," she gave her a deep and tender kiss, tasting every inch of her mouth.

"I thought you had to go," Emily said through the kiss. Abby sighed "Yeah I do…" she turned to leave the room and head out, with Emily close behind her.

She got to her car and placed the case in the back. "And Emily…don't kill my plants okay?"

"How could I kill them they only need watering once a week!" Emily laughed. "Don't you trust me?" she said sarcastically.

"With my life," Abby smiled. "I'll see you when I get back, that's if you don't get out to see me of course," she gave her one last kiss and jumped into the car. Emily waved her goodbye, then sighed deeply. Damn she was going to miss her. Now she just had to sit the guys and girls down and explain to them who she was really seeing.
