"…wow. That was…intense" Emily said softly as she lay in bed, Jennifer next to her cuddled to her side.
Both woman naked covered in a light film of sweat and trying to catch their breath.
"mmhmm" Jj mumbled tiredly as she laid her head in the crook where Emily's neck and shoulder meet, her arm draped over Emily's toned abs, brushing her fingers lightly over the bruised side.
Emily wrapped her arm around Jennifer holding her closely.
"I love you" she whispered into the blonde's ear, bushing away some hair from her face. The words seemed so special and effortless to say now with the singer. As though they had needed to be close together, intimate, for those words to come easier to them.
"I love you too Emily, so much" Jennifer said and placed a tender kiss to Emily's collar bone. She started tracing the tattoo Emily had going up her ribs. It was a tribal like tattoo that started just below her right breast and stopped just at the end of her ribs.
Things felt different now between them; Deeper, more passionate. Emily knew now for sure this is what she wanted and where she wanted to be.
"Are you tired?" Emily asked softly, trailing her fingertips up and down the singer's back, soothing her.
"What are you trying to say? You want to go another round?...4 or 5 times not enough for you?" Jennifer giggled pinching the brunette playfully.
Emily laughed along "No, I mean I wouldn't complain. But I'm pretty tired myself. I was wondering if you wanted to go to dinner with me later." She asked tilting her head to get a better view of the blonde in her arms. "It's only four, so we could sleep for a few hours and then get ready? Only if you want to that is"
Jennifer lifted her head a kissed Emily on the lips softly then lay back down and cuddled closer if possible "I'd love to Em. Wake me up in a few hours?"
"No problem sweet girl" She kissed Jj's forehead and than let herself fall asleep too.
Emily woke up a couple of hours later at 6, cuddled up behind Jennifer. She slowly pulled her arm out of the surprisingly strong grip Jennifer had on it and quietly tried to get out of bed without waking her girlfriend.
She wrote a note and laid it on the pillow in front of Jennifer, so when she woke up it would be the first thing she saw.
Once she was dressed, Emily made her way downstairs, called a cab and left.
Jennifer woke up after hearing her phone beep several times. She instantly felt alone, feeling the bed around her and sitting up she couldn't see any sign of Emily.
She was confused and didn't know how to feel. Emily wouldn't leave…would she? She couldn't help think to herself. She pulled the sheet up and covered herself; she turned and saw a note on the pillow beside her.
Before she opened it though, she reached for the bed side table and opened her phone checking who the message was from.
It's not what it looks like. I'm not leaving you, I'll never leave you.
Read the note my love xx
It was from Emily. Jennifer's heart soared as she kept re-reading the message. Emily wasn't leaving her. She was so happy she was squealing. She quickly reached for the note again and opened it
Jennifer,
I hope you slept well because I will be there to pick you up at eight
Get dressed in something casual/comfortable sweetheart
See you soon
P.S- You look so beautiful and peaceful when you sleep
P.P.S- I love you
Xx
Jennifer held the note to her chest with the biggest smile on her face. She felt alive.
She quickly got up and wrapped herself in a gown and walked over to her closet. Emily had said casual, so she picked out black legging and a shirt long enough to cover her bum and her knee high boots.
She checked her watch and it was ten past seven. She only had fifty minutes to get ready, so she dropped the gown and ran into the warm shower. After she had calmed down a little she pulled on her cloths, applied a small amount of natural make up and straightened her hair. Just as she was switching off the straighteners she heard the door bell ring.
Jennifer ran downstairs in excitement, opened the door and flung herself at Emily. Emily shocked, steadied herself then hugged Jj back. She knew what the blonde was feeling and she wanted to reassure her.
"Hey, you okay?" Emily asked concerned, releasing her hold on the blonde a little bit.
"I just love you, and I'm happy you're here" Jennifer murmured into Emily's neck, placing a light kiss there before leaning back.
"Hi" Jj whispered before leaning in and capturing Emily's lips
"Hi" Emily whispered against the blonde's lips before they started kissing passionately as if they hadn't seen each other in ages
Jj brushed her tongue along Emily's bottom lip as Emily took Jj's top lip between hers. Both moaning into each others mouths. Tongues dancing and caressing, Emily put her hands on Jj's hips firmly. Both pulled back when oxygen became a problem.
"Wow! I wouldn't mind getting greeted like that more often" Emily smirked
"Very funny, I just missed you" Jj smiled sweetly "Give me a sec to get my bag and I'll be ready to go" She said before running back in
Emily watched Jj turn back into the house, and couldn't help but admire the singers behind in those leggings as she bent over to pick up her bag.
"You look really beautiful Jennifer." Emily said looking down a little, hands stuffed in her pockets.
Jennifer turned around when she heard Emily. She took the time to notice what her girlfriend was wearing. She was standing in the doorway, black slim jeans and her boots, a white shirt rolled up at the sleeves to the elbows and a black waistcoat left open. She looked so hot.
"And you look sexy" She didn't even realise what she had said, but Emily's head shot back up and was looking at her like she wanted to take the singer right there and then.
"I think we should leave now before we don't want to leave" Emily said and extended her hand for Jj, who gladly accepted. She opened the car door for Jj, and then got in the car herself.
"So where are we going?" The singer asked, holding onto Emily's hand over the console as they drove
"I thought I would take us out to the new Chinese restaurant in town, then for a moonlight stroll along the beach?" Emily replied not taking her eyes off the road but squeezing Jj's hand.
"Mmm, romantic" Jj wrapped her other hand around Emily's arm too
They had had a lovely meal, which Emily had insisted on paying for and they were now walking hand in hand down the beach by the sea, walking slowly back to Emily's car.
Emily swung they entwined hands over Jj's shoulder and pulled her closer. Jj started tracing her wrist tattoo.
"So will you stay over tonight?" Jj asked softly
"Jen, I have work tomorrow, and I don't have any stuff, another night okay?" Emily had her own house to look after, even though she did love spending time with the blonde at her house
"Are you sure you're ready for work?"
"Babe, after the nights we've had, I'd say I'm ready" Emily smirked
Jj just wrapped her arm around Emily and they made their way back to the car, whispering sweet nothings into each others ears.
The next few days at work were average; there were no major cases that involved leaving Virginia so that meant more free time with Jennifer.
Emily was busy pouring herself a cup of coffee when her phone started ringing, not bothering to look at the caller ID, she flipped open her cell and answered it
"Hello" She grumbled spilling some coffee
"Hey baby" a sweet loving voice sounded over the phone "Are you okay?"
"Yeah sorry, I'm fine, just getting some coffee. What's up?" Jj rarely called during the day as she knew Emily was busy, so she knew it was important
"Well, I wanted to know if you would come by the bar straight after work? There's someone I want you to meet"
"Well it's not your mom is it? She didn't like make a surprise visit or something did she?" Emily asked hesitantly
Jennifer laughed at Emily "Nope" she replied vaguely
"An Ex?" Emily laughed with a hint of seriousness
Again Jj laughed "No. Will you just come please? It's important"
"Okay okay, I'll be there. I was going to come anyway, I just wanted to prepare myself" She mumbled the last part
She heard Jj sigh playfully "I'll see you later Em, I love you"
"Love you too Jennifer" She replied before shutting her phone and heading back over to her desk with her now cold coffee to finish off paperwork
EMILY POV
I was sitting at the bar waiting for Jennifer, sipping on my beer. I heard her name being called and turned around to see Jennifer in a cute little white dress and a middle aged man walking next to her.
He looked the same height as me, but he didn't look physically strong, he looked quite thin for a guy. Immediately I didn't like the look of this man. He was looking at my Jennifer like he wanted to…do things to her. He looked up and gave me a dark smirk, what was this guy playing at?
"Hey, you're here!" Jj exclaimed happily, hugging me tightly and pecking me on the lips
"I want you to meet Mark Roberts, he's an acoustic music manager and he thinks I have a really good voice and potential and he'd like to talk to me further about my career" Jj continued smiling
"Good evening Emily…I've heard a lot about you" He said extending his hand; he was clearly annoyed that Jj had told him about me. His posture was stiff and he kept his eyes locked on mine, challenging me. I stood up and straightened to my full height, trying to gain something on him, I took his hand and gave him a firm shake to which he squeezed back almost painfully
"Wish I could say the same" I replied smirking, hoping Jj wouldn't pick up on my tone. His face dropped and he pulled his hand back like he was touching fire.
"Well, what can I get you to drink Mark?" Jennifer asked holding onto my arm, bless her, she had no idea what was going on between me and this guy.
"I'll take a beer thanks Jennifer" My head shot up immediately when I heard him saying Jj's full name. He had a smug look on his face. I gave him the darkest look I could muster, hoping he would get the message, but he just kept that smug look on his face and walked over to the bar next to Jennifer.
Jj ordered me and the idiot another beer and then made her way back to me. Mark kept raking his eyes over Jj, and I didn't like it at all. He had some nerve. I felt Jj slip her small hand in mine and lace our fingers together, which calmed me down a bit. I put down my beer in case my anger got the better of me and I would do something I may regret.
"So" Mark started "What is it that you do Emily?"
"I'm an FBI Agent, I work for the BAU" I replied, instinctively touching my badge still attached to my belt. Obviously this was new news to him as he choked on his beer and then coughed to cover it up.
"Oh, Jennifer forgot to mention that" he said lowly
"What is it exactly you do mark?" I ask him, brushing the back of Jj's hand with my thumb
"I help people achieve their dreams. I've seen Jennifer play here a few times, and I know talent when I see it" He winks at Jennifer
I clear my throat and give him a cold stare signalling for him to continue
"I know Jennifer has it in her to make it, I know a few people who would love to take her on, introduce her to the world of music"
I felt Jennifer jump happily beside me. "Isn't that exciting Em?" She asked looking up at me.
There was something wrong here; I could feel it, something weird with this guy. I make a metal note to have Garcia search him when I get back.
"Sure is babe" I murmur
We didn't stay and chat much longer with mark. We headed back to my place after, Jennifer still ecstatic and talking to me about what mark could do for her. I didn't have the heart to tell her what I thought about the guy, so I just brushed it off as jealousy and would just let Garcia look into him.
Jennifer stayed the night with me, although I kept tossing and turning, thinking about what had gone down at the bar. Thinking about what I should do. It wasn't like I could forbid Jj from seeing him or taking her career further.
I woke up the following day, had breakfast with Jennifer then went into work. She headed back to the bar to hang out with James.
As I entered my condo, I had a bad feeling. I hadn't heard from Jennifer, but she was singing at James's bar tonight. I locked away my gun and set my badge down.
I turned on the lights and TV to get some sort of sound in my apartment, and walked into the kitchen to get a whiskey. I walked over to the counter and poured my drink. My private cell phone started ringing and Jennifer's name flashed on the screen. It was 7:15pm; she was supposed to be on stage now. The feelings in my stomach got worse as I flipped open my phone,
"Jennif-"
"Hello Agent" a sickening voice sounded from the other end and I felt my whole body stiffen. I felt numb. I recognised that voice anywhere. Mark.
Thought i'd add some drama :P Review and let me know what you think, or what you want to happen :) thank you!
