These past 24 hours were literally tearing the team apart, they weren't at their full capacity, and some of them were even a little tipsy from the bar. The whole team was gathered back in the conference room by 10 pm and considering their current state of exhaustion they weren't too happy about it, until they found out that it was for Strauss because her brother went missing. By the time JJ was done presenting the case it was 1030 and Hotch wasn't sure if they would even be useful in this state of exhaustion.
"Since the case is only about an hour away why don't those of you who cant drive sleep it off here, and then meet the rest of us there in the morning." Hotch said trying to make It easier.
"Jayje, you're my ride because I definitely cant drive." Emily laughed as she looked over at JJ.
"I got you girl." JJ laughed along with Emily while looking at Morgan out of the corner of her eye. She was hoping that she would be able to spend the drive with Derek, but I guess its better to drive Emily than have her drunk driving, JJ thought to herself.
"Alright if anyone else is heading to the hotel they can hitch a ride with me." Derek said sounding kind of disappointed, but no one noticed because they didn't know what was going on with him and JJ.
"Morgan, Ill grab a ride with you." Reid piped in.
Great.. Morgan internally sighed. I don't want Reid talking about magic, Star Wars, or Comics when Im tired and missing JJ. "Alright lets go." Morgan flatly said.
The only person who waited until morning to head over to the hotel was Hotch because he wanted to see Jack. He hated when they had back to back cases, being away from his son was never easy, on either of them for that matter.
Once in the car JJ knew Emily was going to bring her and Derek up, it was just a matter of time before she remembered how he ditched them for her and how he went into her room the other night. Of course, JJ didn't have to wait long before the topic came up.
"Did you finish your paperwork?" Emily asked trying to keep the conversation casaual so she could just drop the big question on her.
"No not quite, Ill definitely be swamped when I get back." JJ sighed.
"Well don't forget about the incident repot too.." Emily said as she smiled at JJ, knowing that JJ didn't have to fill it out, that's Hotchs job, it was just JJs way of avoiding Derek.
"Oh, yeah, cant forget about that." JJ nervously said.
"Jayje, cut the shit, whats going on with you and Derek?" Emily finally said, asking the big question.
"Nothing, he just came to check on me." JJ sort of lied as she turned to see if her friend believed it.
"Does checking on you have anything to do with that hickey on your neck?" Emily said trying to contain her laughter.
"What?!" JJ almost shouted as she ripped down the overhead mirror and began to inspect her neck.
"Its on the right side.." Emily smirked
"Shit." JJ said flatly as she slammed the mirror shut.
"Jayje, honestly, don't worry about it." Emily said looking right at a perplexed JJ. "I wouldn't have seen it if I wasn't looking for it."
"So you know about us, or whatever we are?" JJ said as she turned looking Emily in the eye.
"Yeah, Derek told me right before he went looking for you, he knew I suspected something." Emily admitted.
"Oh.." JJ trailed off trying to cope with her thoughts.
"But don't worry I didn't tell anyone, and I wont ever." Emily added quickly, so that JJ wasn't to worry.
"Thanks." JJ said as she laughed a little embarrassed.
"So..?" Emily trailed off.
"So.. What?" JJ asked.
"How is he?" Emily laughed as she saw JJ shake her head and turn crimson.
"Hes a really good kisser." JJ said trying to avoid the finer details.
"I mean in bed, Jayje." Emily said completely serious.
"Well I wouldn't know because we haven't had sex yet." JJ finally admitted.
"But the other night he went into your room.." Emily questioned. "I thought for sure something happened."
"Nope, I wasn't going to be the girl he hooks up with at practically 3 am." JJ said smugly.
"Good for you," Emily smiled, "But what about tonight, you two were both perfectly sober."
"We made out.." JJ chuckled remembering the past hours events.
"That's it?" Emily asked being nosy.
"What do you want a play by play?!" JJ laughed.
"If you would please." Emily joked.
"No, but we made out and there was definite touching. We practically had sex on my desk but then we decided to go to Dereks but Hotch stopped us just as we were getting on the elevator." JJ said, kind of embarrassed by how much she shared.
"That's hot." Emily sighed looking over at JJ and both the girls had a fit of laughter.
"Well imagine how disappointed were feeling right now!" JJ laughed.
"Well soon we'll be at a hotel and you guys can try your best to not interrupted again." Emily said raising her eyebrows teasingly at JJ.
"Yeah hopefully.." The things that ran through JJs mind at that moment made her blush and she hoped Emily didn't notice. "Hopefully.." She trailed off again.
