Emily's PoV
Three days later-
Since my little altercation with Will neither JJ or I had uttered another word of it to each other except for me making her promise that she would never let him hurt her again. JJ and I had told Amy and Henry that I had walked into my car door. It wasn't unbelievable considering I had done just that three weeks ago. Amelia was still suspicious about the origins of my bruise but I had assured her that all was well.
So far we had been lucky, no cases had come up so we were on desk duty trying to overcome the mountains of paperwork that plagued all of us. Well all of us except Reid.
"Really, Em, it's fine. Henry and I can't stay here forever."
"Come on JJ we had this conversation yesterday, I really don't mind." JJ had been here for five days now and, apparently, she thought herself and Henry a burden.
Her face deflated as she sighed. It really was impossible to get anywhere when we were both so stubborn. Lowering her face she retorted. "I just don't want to intrude on your time with Amy."
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. In the time that she had been here JJ had become something of an aunt to Amy.
"JJ she loves you, and so do I. I understand better than anyone that you need your space but I also understand sometimes you just don't want to be alone."
A smile graced her lovely face. "Thanks, Em."
I nodded as Amelia came running into the room. She was still going to the same school and had adjusted well as far as I could tell.
I didn't know what she was so excited about but I assumed it wasn't about the history report she was supposed to be writing.
"Emily!" She yelled at me. I hadn't noticed the phone in her hand until now.
My brow creased as I stood up in worry "What is i-"
She cut me off. "It's your hot boss that you have a crush on!" My face burned as it turned a lovely shade of red. Fuck. If he heard that I was going to die. I was actually going to curl up and die.
With a shaking hand I took the phone from Amy's hand. If only a hole in the floor would swallow me up, I thought as JJ and Amy smirked at me.
I cleared my throat and took a deep breath. "Hey Sir, did you need something?" I mentally smacked myself. Hey Sir? Did you need something? I had killed all forms of friendliness and demanded to know what he wanted. Good Lord.
"Who was that who answered your phone?"
Time to deflect and distract. "Oh, we can talk about it later. Was there a case or was it something... personal?" My voice lowered seductively at the end. There was no better way to distract a man than sounding sexy. God, I had sunk so low- I was actually trying to sound sexy for my boss.
I had walked out of the room and into my bedroom to fend off eavesdroppers.
I heard his breath catch in his throat and sputter out a cough. Mission achieved. I smirked, I couldn't help but enjoy the fact that maybe just maybe Aaron liked me- just a little bit.
"Well, yes, I suppose it is personal." He had regained his stoic professionalism with eases. "We need to talk."
His voice sounded so definitive, like I had no choice in the matter.
"About?" I asked with a raised eyebrow before I remembered he couldn't see me.
"JJ's situation." How did he know about that? "You as a teenager." I thought he was going to let that go. "Amelia." It was my turn for my breath to hitch in my throat.
My voice was icy when I spoke. "How, Sir, do you know these things?"
"Your not the only one with sources, Prentiss." It stung, like he had slapped me, I had thought we were beyond the cold professionalism of last names. "Meet me at my office tomorrow at six."
Tomorrow was Friday and I knew everyone else would be going home early. I had planned on it as well so Amy, JJ, Henry and I could go hunt for a Christmas tree. Apparently that was now going to be a Saturday plan.
"Fine, see you tomorrow, Hotchner."
"Goodbye Prentiss, I hope you can keep you crush on me under control." I could the smile in his voice that rarely came out. The line went dead.
-CM-
"No, you hold that one between your thumb and-"
"Thanks, Em, but it's not going to happen. Chopsticks are impossible." Amelia proclaimed, exasperated. We had ordered sushi in and I was attempting to teach Amy how to use chopsticks; twenty minutes later we were no where.
"Like this Emmy?" We all turned to see Henry holding the chopsticks perfectly. JJ got out her iphone and took a picture. I laughed. Amelia died inside.
"Soooo how was you talk with Mr. Hotchner?"
"Amelia." I groaned. "He's my boss and-"
"And you two would be perfect together."
I looked in surprise to see JJ with a smug look on her face. "Come'on Em, you two would."
"Well." I muttered, red faced. "Even if we would-"
"So you admit it!" Amelia declared, triumphant.
"God, you and JJ are the tag team from Hell." I said with an roll.
JJ gave me a what-happened-to-not-swearing-around-Henry look. I grimaced. I really wasn't capable of not swearing for a whole day. If wasn't my fault I just had a large vocabulary that consisted of several less than desirable words. In several languages.
I sighed as I watched JJ trying to explain to Henry that just because the sushi had dead fish in it it doesn't mean that anyone was murdered. Amelia laughed as Henry yelled loudly that someone should call the police.
Everything just seemed so... so perfect. Nothing in my life ever stayed that way. Ever. For now I would enjoy it because surely it would not last. Surely it would break like every other God damn thing I touched.
OC will be coming in next chapter guys! Would you guys rather I focused more on this or on OMSD? Let me know :) I would love it if you left a review- Thanks!
