Chapter 14: Thinking Out Loud
JJ moved closer into Spencer's form, cold. She groaned as the morning light poured into his room; she didn't want to leave the peaceful haven they'd made. She knew Spencer was awake when she felt his arm travel up the length of her back, but neither of them bothered to say a word. JJ buried her face in his chest trying to fall back to sleep.
"Jennifer…" Spencer whispered into the morning air. JJ stirred in his arms as she finally turned to face him.
"Good morning." JJ yawned. Spencer still looked in awe.
"It is." He promised her. JJ smiled at him.
"What time is it?" She asked as she stretched her arms.
"It's nine a.m." He said nonchalantly. She smiled as she felt his arm wrap tightly around her waist.
"I love you, you know that?" JJ asked him. Spencer looked at her in disbelief. JJ kissed him thoroughly before he could say anything.
"What brought that on?" Spencer asked.
"You really have to ask?" JJ arched a brow. Spencer just smiled and shook his head. When he stood up, JJ protested as she watched him put on a pair of sweat pants.
"Where are you going?" She asked in disbelief.
"Coffee. Want some?" Spencer offered. She nodded. When she stood up, she realized how sore she actually was. It had been a while since she'd been with someone… Plus, Spencer was er… well endowed in length, staying true to the rest of his body.
She stretched her legs and pulled on Spencer's shirt that was laying in the floor. She fastened one of the surviving buttons. She followed Spencer into the kitchen, and she took a cup of coffee out of his hand. Spencer admired the way she looked. She was all disheveled and in his ripped shirt. She looked peaceful as she sipped her coffee.
"I feel like we had something to do today, but honestly, I don't remember. I definitely do not care." JJ stated. Spencer smiled as he noticed her tentative, slow movements as she walked around the kitchen.
"Feeling okay, my love?" Spencer's hot breath filled her ear. Immediately, a surge of desire rushed through her bones. She turned around quickly, and she slammed her lips on his. Spencer picked her up and placed her on the counter. She tugged on the fabric of his shirt, and he pulled her closer to him. Her eyes met his in a playful dance, and Spencer lowered his head to kiss her firmly. JJ smiled into the kiss.
"I could wake up like this every morning." JJ whispered. Spencer froze. His mind began to race.
"I could too." Spencer just honestly agreed, but he left his racing thoughts to himself. JJ kissed him once more, and she moved to the refrigerator to make breakfast. She pulled out the pack of bacon and the carton of eggs. Spencer immediately helped her, and they made breakfast in comfortable silence.
When they sat down at the table, JJ's cell phone rang from the living room. She ran to go get it. Her eyes lit up when she saw Will's caller ID, knowing it would be Henry on the other line.
"Hello?" JJ asked into the phone.
"Hey, mommy!" Henry's cheerful voice poured through the line.
"Hey, baby. How's New Orleans?" JJ asked her son as she sat down next to Spencer and began to eat her breakfast. She took the initiative to put Henry on speaker and sit her phone down on the table so that Spencer could hear him, too.
"It's so much fun! Daddy took me on a riverboat ride yesterday. It was so cool!" Henry exclaimed excitedly into the phone. Spencer and JJ both chuckled into the phone.
"I'm glad you're having fun." JJ smiled.
"Are you and Spence having fun?" Henry asked, and JJ smiled at her concerned son.
"We are, but we miss you." JJ said as she looked at her love.
"I miss you, too." Henry said.
"You have fun, okay? You need to spend some time with your father. I love you." JJ said.
"I love you mommy and Spencer." Henry said before he hung the phone up, and JJ smiled.
"Sounds like we do not need to worry about him." JJ said as she placed her phone on the kitchen counter after taking both their plates to the sink. She quickly did the dishes, and she turned around to see Spencer.
"What do you want to do today?" He asked as he walked closer to her, placing his hands on either side of her on the counter. He thumbed the one surviving button that was the only thing covering her body.
"Well, Emily is coming back today, so I was going to go help her get everything sorted out." JJ smiled with excitement.
"I'll come with you." Spencer stated.
"Okay. Well, I'm going to take a shower now." JJ said as she excused herself from the kitchen.
She sighed as she unbuttoned the single button. She let the shirt fall to the floor. She turned the water on hot, and she stood there waiting when she felt two hands wrap around her waist. She jumped, and she started panicking and fighting against her attacker. It was another episode. She turned around, and she was relieved to see Spencer standing there.
"Y-you can't sneak up on me like that." JJ gasped. Her body was still shaking.
"I know; I'm so sorry." Spencer pulled her tightly against him, and he wrapped his arms around her.
"Relax, JJ." Spencer reminded her. Their eyes locked for a second, and Spencer gently cupped her face.
"Relax." He whispered. JJ released the breath she had been holding in. She gracefully forced the sweat pants he was wearing on the ground, and he eased them both into the shower. JJ reveled in the hot water that eased the stress away.
"Shit!" Spencer swore when the hot water touched his skin. JJ opened her eyes and faced him. He'd jumped out of the shower.
"What is it?" JJ asked obliviously, and Spencer just gaped at her.
"How are you not ash?" Spencer asked incredulously, and JJ shot him a confused look.
"That water is scalding, JJ." Spencer complained, and JJ giggled and turned the temperature down.
"Now it's fine." She stated. Spencer, not fully trusting her, put one leg in, and when he found it was okay, he completely submerged in the shower with her.
"How did that not burn you?" Spencer asked, and JJ shrugged with a smirk. When she turned around to shampoo her hair, she gasped as she felt his lips on her neck. Her arms wrapped around his head to hold him there.
"S-spence h-have to go to E-emil- oh god." She moaned as he bit the sensitive spot on her neck. He smirked.
"Really, Spence. I have to go." JJ complained, but he forced her around to face him. He slammed his lips on hers, and he picked her up and placed her against the wall of his walk-in shower.
"I'm sure she'd understand us being a few minutes late." Spencer encouraged. Before JJ could protest, he nibbled the one spot on the right side of her neck that made her go crazy. She felt his length pressing into her side, and she gasped as he bit down against her. She held him there, but even that became too much. She kissed him deeply, and he took her right there in the shower. The dull soreness completely dissipated as the pleasure rippled through her veins. Spencer groaned into her neck as she tightened even more against him, and he bit down on that spot. Hard. JJ whimpered in pleasure, and Spencer groaned into her neck, causing vibrations to radiate throughout her body. Heat wafted around her, and just before she could come over that edge, Spencer pulled out completely. A growl in protest escaped her lips, and this just turned Spencer on even more, causing him to let out a moan.
"W-why?" JJ's voice was deep and husky. Spencer smirked.
"Just for torture." Spencer whispered hotly into her neck and bit it for the last time, and he finally, after holding himself against her for what seemed like an eternity, entered her again. She moaned in pleasure, and she finally came. She saw stars and she grew dizzy; it was the greatest feeling she'd ever felt before. She was lightheaded, but the high was too much. Spencer wasn't too far behind her, finally coming with a groan of her name. He finally put her down, and they finished they showers completely spent.
And, JJ had to admit, it was the hottest experience she'd been through yet.
When JJ finished her makeup, Spencer bolted into the bathroom. He was pale as a ghost.
"JJ." His voice was deep and frightening.
"What is it, Spence?" JJ's heart began to race at all the possible things that could be wrong at that moment. A dead friend. A hurt friend. Henry. Emily.
"We didn't use protection." Spencer looked genuinely terrified, but a huge sigh of relief left JJ. She started to chuckle.
"Relax, Spence. I'm on the pill." JJ reminded him. She could see the weight being lifted off his shoulders.
"Hey." JJ stopped him. He looked at her in question.
"Would having a baby with me be that bad?" JJ began to grow insecure.
"No, Jennifer, I just do not think that now is the right time." Spencer explained, and JJ nodded.
"Very true, but I love you, Spence. One day I would love to have your babies." JJ said as she looked him dead in the eye.
"Me too, JJ." Spencer said before kissing her forehead.
"Can we go see Emily now?" JJ asked after texting Emily she would be late.
"Of course." Spencer agreed as he grabbed her hand.
"Hey, Em." JJ chirpily greeted her friend through the phone. It really had already been a great day, and her best friend was moving back to Quantico.
"Hey, JJ! I just landed at the airport; sorry I'm late. Hope you didn't have to wait for me." Emily explained.
"Oh, no. Spence and I found a way to, um, occupy our time." JJ said innocently in the phone with a wink at Spencer. They both got in the car to go join Emily at her apartment.
"I'm sure he probably told you statistics of delayed flights while you worried." Emily laughed into the phone.
"Something like that." JJ said sheepishly in the phone. Emily was an impeccable profiler, but luckily, they were just on the phone. She couldn't see JJ's erratic behavior.
When they got to Emily's apartment complex, JJ quickly jumped out of the car and raced to her friend's apartment after noticing her car parked in the lot. She left Spencer behind in the car.
"EMILY!" JJ squealed like a little girl when she saw the brunette. The two were crashed in a suffocating hug when Spencer into the room. They both retrieved from the hug at the sight of the man.
"Emily, so nice to see you." Spencer said with a smile as he walked toward the brunette to give her a hug. Spencer tightly weaved his arms around her, and he hugged one of his greatest companions.
"I missed you guys so much." Emily said with a laugh as the tears misted in her eyes.
"I'm so glad you are coming back, Em. I have missed working with you so much!" Emily's return was another big weight off JJ's shoulders. After what happened this morning and last night and Emily's return, JJ felt more peaceful and happier than ever before. She and Spencer shared a secret smile, and they both followed Emily into the living room.
"So, I am really all unpacked because I didn't really take much to England the last trip there. I just unloaded my stuff her because I knew I would be back here shortly. I just wanted to see you two before the dinner tonight." Emily said as she leaned against her kitchen counter.
"Dinner?" Spencer asked, confused.
"Did you two not hear? The team is having dinner at Rossi's tonight, which means you better dress to impress." Emily said pointedly. Rossi was never one to disappoint, and it was their duty to live up to his expectations.
"Are you still starting work tomorrow?" JJ asked hopefully.
"I am." Emily said with a smile.
"With this team's luck, we will have a case tomorrow too." Spencer pitched in. He was right; the team always had that kind of luck.
"Serial killers never give us a day off." JJ joked.
"So, JJ, since I don't really have anything to wear, I was kind of hoping I could steal you away for the day?" Emily asked hopefully. JJ smiled.
"Of course, Em." JJ said before shooting Spencer a small apology for ditching him for the day.
"Good. I didn't really want to have to call up Penelope for shopping." Emily said, relieved. They both shuddered. They loved Pen, but she took shopping way too seriously.
"Spencer, would you like to come with us?" Emily offered.
"Err…," Spencer seemed uncomfortable with the offer. "I think I will pass, but thank you though. I will just catch up on housework and go to the book store." The two girls nodded.
"Well, you guys have fun. I will see you later." Spencer said. He moved forward to hug Emily, and Spencer kissed JJ's forehead. Spencer was uncomfortable with PDA.
"I love you." Spencer whispered in her ear before walking out Emily's front door.
"You two are adorable, but it's still weird to witness." Emily admitted.
"I love him." JJ stated nonchalantly. Emily just smiled and the two women walked to her car to get something that Rossi would approve of.
"I honestly hate dresses." Emily complained as she looked at herself in the mirror as she wore a royal blue dress.
"Well, first of all, you need to find the right color for your skin tone, and then it will not be so bad." JJ said while trying to find the right shade to complement Emily's features. JJ smirked as she pulled out a subtly sexy black dress.
"This, Em, is perfect." JJ's voice became sultry and her eyebrows wiggled. Emily groaned, but she gave in when she saw JJ's begging face.
"Okay, but I get to pick out yours." Emily warned. JJ's face lit up, and Emily submerged into the dressing room to try on the dress. When Emily submerged, both of the women were completely at awe.
"You're welcome." JJ said with a smirk. Emily just nodded, and she admired the dress that hugged her curves without washing her out.
"My turn." Emily said as she started searching for something JJ could wear.
"Anyway, how is life with our favorite genius going?" Emily asked nonchalantly.
"Really, really well." JJ gushed as images of their shower experience flashed through her mind. She bit her lips as she felt the tingles dance around her body.
"I am so happy for you, JJ." Emily admitted.
"Is there anyone in your life?" JJ asked her friend. Emily froze for a second, but she quickly recovered by going through dresses on the racks.
"Emily, I am a profiler now. Spill." JJ encouraged.
"I-I can't." Emily's tone saddened.
"Oh, come on, Em." JJ pleaded.
"You will find out in time, JJ, but for now, it is best to stay a secret." Emily whispered.
"Ooh, scandalous. I like it." JJ's tone turned playful.
"Well, it's more of a crush." Emily chuckled.
"You have a crush and you won't tell me who?!" JJ whined.
"Oh, come on, JJ. We aren't in eighth grade. It's just a crush; I will get over it soon." Emily promised herself.
"Fine, Em." JJ dropped the subject. Emily found JJ a navy blue dress with quarter sleeves that hit mid thigh. There was a brown belt around the waist to accent JJ's hourglass figure.
"It's cute and classic." Emily encouraged.
"It's perfect." JJ agreed. The pair left the store. JJ found herself being drug into a lingerie store by Emily, who froze at the entrance.
"This doesn't make you uncomfortable, does it?" Emily asked her friend.
"No. I wish people would stop walking on eggshells with me. That happened. I would like to move on." JJ shut her down and took it upon herself to enter the store.
"Plus, when you and Spencer finally get it on," Emily wrinkled her nose at the thought at first. JJ just looked smug. "you want to have something nice to wear." Emily hinted. JJ ignored the comment and began looking around. She nervously picked something up quickly.
"You think they have this in my size?" Her voice was still nervous. Emily gasped as she finally put the pieces together.
"Oh my god,JJ! Why didn't you tell me?!" Emily practically yelled. Shit, it was like the pair turned into high schoolers again the second they entered the mall.
"Tell you what?" JJ asked, feigning confusion.
"You and Spencer slept together." Emily accused.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." JJ continued to deflect.
"Ooh. It was good. I can see it on your face. I bet our boy genius rocked your w-" JJ's hand slammed over Emily's mouth.
"You shut your mouth, Emily, or I will shut it for you." JJ warned.
"Ooh. That's all the evidence I need, my love." Emily sing-songed. JJ rolled her eyes with a carefree smile on her face.
"But why didn't you tell me." Emily seemed disappointed.
"I will give you all the details later. I promise." JJ was still whispering. Emily smiled big.
"When?" Emily asked.
"Emily." JJ groaned. Emily pouted.
"Just tell me when, please, JJ." Emily begged.
"Er… last night?" JJ said nervously and awkwardly. This was girl talk, though, and JJ missed it so badly with her best friend.
"That's not all." Emily said bluntly.
"This morning?" JJ's voice got high, and Emily gasped.
"Oh my god. That's why you were late! That is… wow, I'm lonely." Emily began laughing.
"Spencer would kill me if he knew you knew. Shut up about it." JJ warned her friend.
"Yes ma'am." Emily joked. The rest of their afternoon consisted of carefree banter and more shopping.
When JJ enter the apartment, she smiled when she saw Spencer on his couch with a stack of books in front of him. She walked towards him, took the book out of his hand, and she placed it on the coffee table. She took it upon herself to perch herself in his lap.
"Hey." She said as she ran her hand through his hair.
"Hey, my love. Did you have fun with Emily?" Spencer asked.
"I did." She said. She leaned down, and she kissed him thoroughly.
"What time do we need to be at Rossi's?" Spencer asked JJ.
"I was told six." JJ stated. Spencer sighed.
"What is it?" She asked him.
"Just stress headache." Spencer rubbed the back of his neck. JJ's face turned to concern as she took it upon herself to massage his shoulders. Spencer moaned as her magic fingers worked to relieve some of the built-up tension.
"What's wrong, baby?" JJ asked him while continuing her task.
"My mother isn't doing so well. I am worried about her." Spencer admitted openly.
"Maybe we can go visit her." JJ offered.
"What did you say?" Spencer was stunned.
"Maybe we can go visit her? Or just you. I don't have to join you." JJ rambled. She'd picked up that habit from Spencer.
"I would love for you to join me." Spencer said before placing his lips on hers. JJ squealed as he pushed her back to fall on the couch.
"I am so in love with you." Spencer promised as he stared deeply in her eyes. JJ gasped as the weight of his words hit her hard, and she pulled him down to kiss him again.
