Mad About You - Hooverphonic

Days have went by and everyone had just returned from a case in the same Atlanta, the same city that Austin lived in. This of course caused some conflict with both Reid and Prentiss but they both kept it very professional during the whole case. Then they were dismissed and Hotch told the team that they had to be in at seven O'clock sharp and all left the station.

The ride home was dead quiet, even after they had gotten inside his apartment. They did not speak one word to each other, not even a glance to one another. What happened over there was the fact that while looking around for finding out more about their UNSUB... a certain ex-bartender saw him, ran up to him and kissed him on the cheek. NO big deal right? Wrong! Well... sort of. The real big deal was the fact that Reid didn't even introduce Emily as his girlfriend, not even after the case was over and they bumped into each other again. He didn't throw the number away or tell her that he wasn't available!

So for over 14 hours it was pure silence on the Jet, and this included a lot of tension between them and no one wanted to stir it up even more so they kept their comments and attempts to help out their friends to themselves and stayed out of the way.

Reid put his things in its usual spot, while he didn't put his already worn clothes into the hamper, and Emily went in the washroom, slamming the door in the process, locked it and took a very much needed shower.

"Don't try to explain your mind, I know what's happening here. One minute it's love and suddenly, It's like a battle-field" Emily started, while soaking her air under the hot water.

"One word turns into a, why is it the smallest things that tear us down. My world's nothing when you're gone, I'm not here without a shield. Can't go back now" Spencer continued as he refilled his go bag with all of the clothes he had brought to Emily's condo into his bag.

"Both hands tied behind my back with nothing, Oh no" she was now rinsing her hair to get the shampoo out.

"These times when we climb so fast to fall again, why we gotta fall for it now" he looked around looking at pictures of the two of them.

"I never meant to start a war, you know I never wanna hurt you. Don't even know what we're fighting for" both were singing at the same time. Emily turned off the shower and grabbed a towel that was marked 'Him' and the other one 'Her'. Spencer grabbed some of his books that he had brought on over at Emily's and put it in a plastic bag.

"Why does love always feel like ... a battlefield (battlefield), a battlefield (battlefield), a battlefield (battlefield). Why does love always feel like ... a battlefield (battlefield), a battlefield (battlefield), a battlefield (battlefield). Why does love always feel like ..." They continued at the same time. Emily was now fully dressed, while Spencer Spencer was writing something down on a piece of paper.

"Can't swallow our pride, neither of us wanna raise that flag" she opened the door and felt the cold breeze hitting her still somewhat wet body, making her shiver.

"If we can't surrender, then we both gonna lose what we had, oh no" Spencer had just entered the elevator and pressed the main floor button.

"Both hands tied behind my back with nothing (nothing)" Emily saw the opened closet and knew what had happened.

"Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again, I don't wanna fall for it now" Spencer walked out and hailed for a taxi.

"I never meant to start a war, you know I never wanna hurt you. Don't even know what we're fighting for" both sang at the same time again. Emily saw a little white piece of paper on her counter and slowly walked over before reading it, 'Going back home. We need a break, from each other – Spencer'. Meanwhile Spencer had just given the driver his building address and were now driving away from Emily's condo building.

"Why does love always feel like ... a battlefield (battlefield), a battlefield (battlefield), a battlefield (battlefield). Why does love always feel like ... a battlefield (battlefield), a battlefield (battlefield), a battlefield (battlefield). Why does love always feel like ..." Emily leaned against her fridge and slowly slide onto the floor, tears pouring down her face. Spencer just kept looking at the number that Austin had given him.

"I guess you better go and get your armor (get your armor). Get your armor (get your armor). I guess you better go and get your armor (get your armor). Get your armor (get your armor). I guess you better go and get your" Spencer was now paying the cab driver, while Emily wiped her tears away and was now petting her cat Sergio, who was trying to calm her down.

"We could pretend that we are friends tonight, and in the morning we'll wake up and we'll be alright. Cause baby we don't have to fight, And I don't want this love to feel like. A battlefield (oh), a battlefield (oh), a battlefield, why does love always feel like a battlefield (oh), a battlefield (oh), a battlefield" Emily was petting her cat, but nothing was pushing the real pains she was feeling at this moment.

Spencer finally reached his apartment and dialled the number on the paper and waited for the person on the other end of the phone to answer, "...Hey Austin, it's Spencer... I was wondering when you were coming to Virginia again... Yeah I'd like to show you around"

The next morning, Emily arrived at work and saw Garcia bugging JJ, and this put a real smile on her face and made her laugh. Watching Garcia trying to catch up to JJ was walking at a fast pace away from the TA, but the Liaison slowed down and let her friend catch up to her. 'Hmm, she probably threatened to erase her entire existence from the world, again', Emily thought to herself.

"Emily! Help me to make JJ admit that her having the hots for our one and only boss man, is call love! Come on, and help out here!"

"JJ you have more than the hots for Hotch, you are falling for him" the brunette told JJ.

"No, I am not falling for my boss" she hissed but was able to whisper it out to them, "So, go pester someone else!"

"She's so in love with him" Garcia told Emily, while rolling her eyes. This made Prentiss laugh out loud.

"Both of you are pains in my ass!" stated as she got in the elevator, along with her two very annoying and pestering friends.

"Come on, JJ! Admit that you're in love with Hotch and we'll leave you alone!"

"If there's a prize for rotten judgement, I guess I've already won that. No man is worth the aggravation, that's ancient history, been there, done that" The elevator shaft 'Ding' telling them that they were on the sixth floor, and as soon as those doors were opened she bolted out and made a run for her office. But Emily was the faster runner of the three and was able to cut her off.

"Who'd ya think you're kidding? He's the earth and heaven to ya" Emily stated, while pulling the blonde in her office, with Garcia right behind them.

"Try to keep it hidden, honey we can see right through ya, girl ya can't conceal it. We know how you're feelin', who you're thinking of" the TA locked the door, to make sure that no one could bother their intervention.

"No chance, no way, I won't say it, no no" JJ stated firmly as she sat in her chair.

"You swoon, you sigh" Emily said, while poking Garcia who nodded at what the brunette stated.

"Why deny it, uh oh?" The TA sat down in the chair closest to JJ.

"It's too...cliché. I won't say I'm in love" the Liaison sang, as she turned away from her friends and looked at a old photo of her, Henry and Will, "I thought my heart had learned its lesson, it feels so good when ya start out. My head is screaming "get a grip, girl!", "Unless you're dying to cry your heart out!""

"You keep on denying, who you are and how you're feelin'. Baby, we're not lying, hone we saw ya Hit the ceiling. Face it like a grown up, when ya gonna own up that ya got, got, got it bad?" Both Emily and Garcia sang at the same time.

"Woah! No chance, no way, I won't say it, no no" JJ stood up and started to walk away.

"Give up, give in, check the grin, you're in love!" Prentiss said, while turning JJ towards a small mirror in her office and pointed out the small grin on the Liaison's face, which quickly disappeared.

"You're doing flips read our lips you're in love" Garcia stated.

"You're way off base, I won't say it! Get off my case, I won't say I'm in love" JJ lastly said as she sat back down in her chair.

"JJ... JJ... JJ!" Emily exclaimed, before poking her friend in the face.

"Ow! What!"

"You okay?"

"Yeah... just have a lot on my plate... Hey, why didn't Spence come in with you?"

"...We're taking a break, but I'm pretty much certain that we broke up"

"Sugar plum why? What the hell did I miss while you guys were in Atlanta?"

"That Bartender from the last time we were in Atlanta, named after a town in Texas. Gave him her number, and was flirting with him"

"Yeah" Garcia answered.

"He accepted the number and introduced me as Agent Prentiss, and he was openly flirting back with her"

"So you two got in a big fight that resolved in a break up?" JJ asked.

"Pretty much... now I'm sure that he called her up when he got back at his apartment"

"Emily that's not true" Garcia tried to comfort her, "You know what? We haven't done a ladies night in like forever so let's go out tonight!"

"Sure I'm in. Em?"

"Yeah, I'm in" she told her friends.

Hours later the girls were at a pub drinking and having a blast, when a guy walked up to them, but Emily had her back to him when she took a sip of her beer.

"So this is what has become of the great Emily Prentiss, daughter of Ambassador Prentiss huh?" said the man, and right then Emily choked on her drink before standing up and turning to him.

"Jesse Abraham, you asshole!" she smiled, before punching him in the arm.

"Emily... you still hit like a boxer" he joked, before hugging her, and she returned it, "How have you been?"

"I'm fine, you?"

"Well I know you're still fine" he smirked at her, "I'm doing okay, just moved here from Miami. Got a job offer at Quantico for the terrorism department, or whatever the real name is"

"That's where I work, I'm with the BAU"

"And ta-da! We have become invisible" Garcia said, making JJ laugh.

"Oh, sorry! Jesse these are my friends Penelope Garcia, and Jennifer Jareau"

"Pleasure to meet close friend of Emily" he smiled while shaking their hands, "What are you function or where do you work?"

"We both work at Quantico. I'm the BAU's go to person, the Media Communication Liaison"

"And I'm the super information highway Empress, or Technical Analyst for the BAU"

"You have a great sense of humour Penelope" he told her, "So all three of you are on the same team?"

"Yeah" all three answered.

"But might we ask, who you are?"

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to not have introduce myself. I'm Jesse Abraham, I'm a close friend of Emily's since senior year in High School"

"Not high school sweethearts?" Garcia asked, earning a glare from Emily.

"Not High School... but College Sweethearts I would have to say" he blushed while admitting this, while Emily did the same, "But since we had been assigned states apart, we decided that remaining friends was more important"

"That is so romantic!" Garcia chirped happily, and both Jesse and Emily got even redder in the face.

"So, um, Emily I was wondering if you wanted to show me around Virginia, if that's okay with you?"

Emily was about to say no, because she wanted to fix things with Reid, but all things changed when she saw him enter the pub with Austin at his side. Both smiling and laughing, "I'd love to and actually, do you have time to start now, cause knowing you, you'd like to find the best place for laundry and dry cleaning right?"

"Yes" he chuckled out, "And not now because I do have to head to my home and start to try and find mu suits since I start tomorrow, but here..." He pulled out a card and wrote his house phone and cell phone number on the back before handing it to her, "Just call me tomorrow and I'll tell me where to find you after you're done working. Or actually I'll call you or find you on the... what floor?"

"Sixth floor" she told him.

"Alright, I'll come and find you on the sixth floor tomorrow" he then pulled her in a hug before leaving the bar.

"Well, well... What was all that about?" Garcia asked while smiling.

"Yeah, I mean it's great that you and Jesse found each other but I thought you wanted to try and fix things with Spence?"

"If you look to your left, you'll see an ass that has already leached onto the first bimbo available" Emily bit out bitterly as she left through the other entrance, leaving Garcia and JJ stunned as they stared at Dr. Reid, dancing horribly with a brunette lady.

The next night, Emily had shown great sites and the best places to get food, dry cleaners and other things, but now she was showing him the best club in DC and they were having a blast together.

"Feel the vibe, feel the terror, feel the pain. Its driving me insane, I cant fake. For God sakes why am I, driving in the wrong lane?" Jesse sang while pulling Emily close to him, her back was almost against his chest. His arms wrapped around her waist.

"Trouble is my middle name, but in the end Im not too bad. Can someone tell me if its wrong to be so, mad about you. Mad about you. Mad" He continued, while he leaned in chin onto her shoulder, and for a reason Emily just let him.

"Are you the fishy wine that will give me a headache in the morning? Or just a dark blue land mine, That'll explode without a decent warning" While he kept on singing, she knew that he still arbored deep feelings for her.

"Give me all your true hate, and Ill translate it in our bed. Into never seen passion, never seen passion. That it why I am so mad about you. Mad about you. Mad about you. Mad" he looked deeply i her eyes and hopes that she would return the feelings that he was giving her.

"Trouble is your middle name, but in the end you're not too bad. Can someone tell me if its wrong to be, So mad about you. Mad about you. Mad" Emily sang,w hen she turned to face him. Pulling his body closer to hers and swaying hers hips in sync with his.

"Give me all your true hate, and Ill translate it in your bed. Into never seen passion. That is why I am so mad about you. Mad about you" She finished, just before he pulled her chin to him and kissed her. Emily's arms automatically rested her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to her, deepening the kiss they were sharing.
