Chapter 10

The pool, or pools really, were beautiful at their resort. The main one had an amazing mini cliff waterfall with stone all around it. It was "Tiki" themed. There were huts and torches all around the pool that the girls were excited to see at night. The kids pool was shallow and had fun water toys and blow up animals to play with. There was a pool with big diving boards and the other half was for people to swim laps. There were hot tubs all around the pool deck. One was inside the mini cliff, there were a couple under some of the Tiki huts, and there was one next to the kids pool for the parents to watch their kids while they rested in the hot water.

The pool boys kept the Strawberry Daiquiris coming for the three agents. They laid out by the adult pool for a few hours. Spencer read a couple books, while JJ and Emily talked endlessly about what they should do while on vacation. Unfortunately, JJ couldn't tell the whole truth about WHO she wanted to do while on vacation.

The blonde loved and trusted the older brunette with all her heart, but she still didn't tell her about Derek. A part of JJ knew that she was being senseless. She knew they would find out eventually and she's just antagonizing herself by thinking about it too much, but she knew that if she told anyone from the team, especially Emily or Penelope, the whole BAU would find out quicker than JJ was ready for.

The ladies decided that they were going to go shopping the next day. They knew Garcia would want to come too when she got there. Dr. Reid opted out of the shopping experience. He wasn't a big fan of it. He said he would go to the beach with the other guys and get some more sun.

JJ felt a pang of sadness when she heard that the men weren't going to be shopping with them. She couldn't ditch shopping with the girls, and Morgan couldn't even pretend like he would rather go shopping than play beach volleyball.

"Well, well, well. Look at these lovely ladies…you look good too Prentiss," Derek chuckled as Emily hit his arm. Reid still didn't get the subtle joke.

"What are you boys doing here already? I thought you were going to find a place to eat?" Emily asked confused.

"We already found a place. It's really nice too. Hotch, Morgan, Reid, and I are going to pick up Garcia and Kevin at the airport in about 30 minutes. This restaurant calls for heels and ties, so if you don't have any dress clothes then I suggest you take the next two hours to go shop for some before our reservation," Rossi explained.

The girls squealed in excitement at the prospect of shopping AND dressing up for dinner. The boys could just wear nice button downs, but the girls got to wear dresses. Sure, they had to look nice for work, but they never got to really dress up. None of the men had ever even seen them in a dress. JJ realized that Derek hadn't even seen her in a dress before.

She also realized that since they were shopping tonight, maybe they wouldn't have to spend that much time shopping tomorrow and they could meet the boys at the beach after lunch. This could turn out to be really great after all.

Hotch agreed to drive Garcia to the strip they planned on shopping at so that she could meet the ladies on their mission, and get herself something nice as well.

Before their tech friend got there, JJ and Emily walked around trying to find a good place to buy nice clothes. Most of the places seemed very bohemian. Eventually they found a small boutique that carried beautiful dresses that would fit the occasion perfectly.

Hotch dropped Garcia off before either of the ladies had even started trying anything on, and she had someone else with her. It wasn't Kevin.

"JJ, who is that with Garcia?" Emily inquired.

Her question was soon answered when they ladies came through the door.

"Haley! It's so nice to see you! What are you doing here? Where is Jack?" JJ exclaimed.

"It's nice to see you too, Jennifer! Penelope called me and told me that I was going to meet Aaron in LA. Didn't really give me a choice, but I'm glad I came. It's beautiful here. Jack is with my sister."

"Please, call me JJ." She gave a small smile to her friend. Of course she would think to bring Haley with her and surprise their boss. She always thought of others. It was something JJ admired most about her. "Where's Kevin, Garcia?"

"He stayed with the men. The idea of shopping with me seemed to scare him a bit for some reason," Penelope giggled.

All four ladies continued looking through the endless racks of clothing. They each had at least five dresses to try on. They all went in to their dressing rooms and tried on the first one. Emily came out first in a navy blue dress that was high on her collar and had ugly ruffles going down each side. It had looked much better before she tried it on.

Garcia came next with a bright pink sequin dress that came down almost to her knees. She loved it. Emily agreed that it was right for her.

Haley didn't even come out in her first dress because she thought it was so awful, but the second one was very pretty. It had yellow and orange flowers all over it. It seemed very California.

Emily came out in her third dress and decided it was the one for her. Penelope and Haley (who already had their dresses) agreed. It was plain black and fit to her body. It sparkled when the light hit it just right.

JJ didn't really like showing outfits to other people until she was sure she was going to buy it. But she came out last in her third dress. It was pretty and it fit, but it didn't seem like the right one. It was the same situation with the fourth dress. All of the ladies agreed that it wasn't right. She tried on her fifth dress and it looked worse than the last two. She was about to give up when Garcia came back with another dress that she insisted JJ try on.

She reluctantly pulled the dress over her head and didn't even look in the mirror before opening the door and showing it to the waiting ladies. None of them said a word. They just stared at her.

JJ was embarrassed. "You know, let's just go somewhere else. I knew it wasn't going to work. I can't pull of the backless thing. I'll just-"

"You look amazing!" Penelope exclaimed, cutting her off.

"JJ, you've never looked sexier," Emily added.

"Please get that dress," Haley pleaded.

The blonde was shocked. What could be so spectacular about this dress that even I look good in it? She stepped out of the changing room and looked at herself in the big double mirror.

The dress was fire red and more revealing than JJ was used to. It was tight at the bottom and only came about halfway down her thighs. The top was really loose, and the back was open and only connected by three gold chains that ran across it. The front dipped just low enough to see a little cleavage. A golden chain from the back came around and bordered the neckline. It was beautiful. She felt as though she should be on the red carpet somewhere.

"Wow," was all that JJ could say.

Morgan is going to love this. She slyly thought about his reaction when he saw her arrive to dinner with this beautiful gown.

The ladies checked out of the store and made their way to the hotel to get dressed. They had almost forty-five minutes to become fabulous-looking.

JJ and Emily went to their room and JJ hopped in the shower real fast. She made it out in five minutes so that Emily could take one too. They went to work blow drying their hair and applying make-up. After the blonde was done doing her hair, she hastily put on her dress and slipped into her shoes. They only had a few minutes before they had to be in the lobby. Emily spritzed both of them with her favorite perfume before the two ladies walked out the door.

Morgan and Reid were the first team members in the lobby. Garcia and Kevin came soon after. She had on a sparkly pink dress that matched the streaks in her hair. Derek would have expected nothing less from the tech goddess. He noted that Kevin was looking good as well. He grew out his facial hair a little bit and his hair was slicked back. His glasses were nowhere to be found and his outfit made him look very classy. Morgan felt a little homosexual for noticing another man's outfit, but he was trained to pick up on things like that.

Rossi came down next. He looked slick like usual. The man just looked like he could belong in the mob.

Hotch and Haley came down a few seconds later. They looked so happy to be together. It wasn't very often that they got out a Quantico alone and there were no dead bodies that needed to be attended to. Hotch wore just a yellow button-down shirt and black pants. Haley was in a flowery dress that suited her just right. She looked very pretty.

They continued to talk quietly as they waited for the two female members that had yet to show. The men were excited to show the ladies the restaurant that they had picked out. It was very beautiful and the food looked delicious.

Finally Emily came around the corner in a black dress that hugged her figure. Everyone complimented her on her attire.

"Where's Jayje?" Garcia asked her.

"Oh she forgot her purse. She'll be right down. She wanted me to come ahead and let you guys know that we were coming. Haha."

They were all standing in a circle. Derek was telling a story when he noticed that nobody was looking at him anymore. They were all looking behind him, mouths agape.

He turned around to see the most beautiful sight he had ever seen in his life.

JJ was walking toward them in a dress that would put a movie star to shame. It was red and fitted to her legs. It was loose at the top and low cut. The gold chains were the color of her hair, which was curled and pulled half back with a huge gold jewel used as the clip. She had golden shoes with a small heel.

They other ladies looked beautiful in their dresses, but even Hotch and Kevin would agree that JJ was stunning.

When the blonde reached her circle of friends they still hadn't stopped gawking. She knew that she looked good, but she still couldn't see why everyone was still staring and dumbfounded.

She cleared her throat and it snapped everyone out of their reverie.

"Um, are we all ready to go? Sorry I took so long. I forgot my purse in the room," she said shyly.

Hotch was the first to find his voice.

"It's quite alright. We still have ten minutes before our reservation. Let's head out now." He took the lead walking out the door.

Wow. I love my wife, but JJ looks amazing. I'm sure Morgan is very excited about that dress. It'll be hard for him to control himself with her looking like that. Maybe they will just come clean. Hotch happily thought to himself.

Morgan still hadn't found his voice. He just nodded and smiled at the beautiful woman in front of him as they turned to leave for the restaurant.

The place that the male members of the BAU picked out was exquisite. Every woman there was in a beautiful gown and all of the men were in snazzy shirts and ties. The waiter showed them to their table which was elegantly decorated with white roses and a black table cloth with red dishes.

Emily noticed that at the table next to theirs sat beautiful heiress Paris Hilton. She excitedly told the rest of the team and snapped a few pictures with her phone before a waiter gave her a dirty look. Who knew that Emily Prentiss was one to get star struck?

The dinner was delicious, yet uneventful. Derek and JJ sat next to each other, but rarely made eye contact. A lot of men in the restaurant had watched her since she entered, and she was beginning to feel a little self conscious. She had never been one to try to turn heads. Her secret boyfriend kept eyeing her and giving warning looks to any men that he noticed had been a paying a little too much attention to her.

Everybody at the table had eaten every bit of the food on their plate and they were now just drinking wine and telling jokes and stories. They had all officially let loose and were out of work mode. It was just a normal group of friends that were out to dinner in a famous city.

When they were done at the restaurant they walked the few blocks back to the hotel. Garcia and Kevin went back to their rooms claiming to be "tired". Everyone knew they just wanted some romantic alone time. Rossi went to the bar for some more drinks and to talk to a girl that he saw sitting by herself. Hotch, Haley, Reid, Morgan, JJ, and Emily all went to the lounge. There was jazz music playing and people slow dancing.

Haley and Aaron went straight to the dance floor and their subordinates sat down and listened to the music. After a few minutes Reid decided to go to the bar where Rossi was and maybe try his luck at snatching a female.

"They are so cute together!"Prentiss exclaimed. "It makes me want someone to dance with. Someone to just hold me and say he loves me. Someone to just-"

"Okay, okay Prentiss. We get it. I don't want to know all the details of your fantasy. You girls can discuss that later," Morgan cut in, laughing.

"Oh shut up. I don't want you knowing my fantasy either. I think I've had a little too much to drink. Maybe I should just go back to my room."

As if on cue, a tall man with jet black hair and bright blue eyes came walking up to the brunette.

"Excuse me miss, but I was wondering if you would like to join me in a dance?" the man said with a French accent. "Maybe we could get some drinks later, yeah?"

Emily tried to hide the smile that reached her ears while she accepted the man's hand and stood up. She turned back and whispered in JJ's ear.

"Don't wait up for me tonight," she said, and winked.

JJ laughed and nodded, an idea forming in her mind.

"What did she say?" Derek asked.

"She told me not to wait up for her tonight. Made it sound like she might not come back to the room…" she let a sly smile play on her lips before Morgan realized what she was thinking.

A smile spread across his face too as he thought about all of the possibilities. He and JJ had not done any more than kiss since they had been "dating". He wanted her to know that he was a gentleman, and he would wait for as long as she wanted before he tried anything more. But the idea of having a hotel room to themselves alone in a city like LA sent his mind wandering in so many directions.

She discretely placed her hand on his and stood up. She turned her back and began walking away before he even had a chance to stand himself. He caught up with her and saw that she was still smiling.

In the elevator Derek couldn't take his eyes off of his girlfriend. He put his hand on the small of her back and traced circles with his thumb until the doors opened and they practically ran to her room.

JJ fumbled with the key while Derek started kissing her neck from behind. She couldn't concentrate on what she was doing while he distracted her like that. Finally, he took the key and opened the door for her.

As soon as the door was closed JJ was up against it with Derek's lips covering her own. She hastily unbuttoned his shirt and threw it on the ground. She kicked off her shoes as well and he slid out of his.

Derek stopped the kissing for a second to breathe. "What about Emily?" he asked, worry clear in his voice.

"You saw her face. She won't be back tonight," JJ answered, breathing heavily.

"Are you sure?"

She answered with a kiss that sent his wits out of the field. He picked her up and carried her to the bed, making her dress slide up to her stomach.

He laid her down gently as his hands began roaming her body. She pulled the jewel out of her hair and it waved around her head. Derek began to slowly remove her dress with his left hand, while the right one supported his body from crushing the blonde.

Their bodies were pressed together, they had never been closer. He was just about to take it to the next step, when he saw JJ stop suddenly, shock written on her face. He turned around to see what she was looking at.

Fellow Agent Emily Prentiss was standing in the doorway looking incredibly embarrassed and horrified.
