Chapter 20: Girl time

The day was nearing its end and JJ thought she was once again all alone in the offices. Griffen had gone home early for a dinner date and all the other associates had left the bullpen two hours earlier. So it was late and JJ was still glued to her desk, not knowing what she was supposed to do. Outside of work, her life already seemed empty. She barely had any friends around and she had no one special in her life. All her friends were living and working somewhere else. Except for Hotch. He of course was living in the same city as her. She still couldn't believe the coincidence. It was like he had to keep showing up in her life and she wanted it to stop. It was just one of those things she had no control over, even if she wished she did.

''So you're one of those people?'' Tracy asked as she stepped into the bullpen. She slowly made her way towards JJ's desk. ''Why are you still here?''

JJ looked up with a smile on her face. Tracy was one of those incredibly perceptive people and JJ liked that about her. ''What are you talking about?''

''You're one of those people who lives in the office.'' Tracy replied. ''Girl, you're far too young and pretty to live here. Let's get you out of here.'' she said, taking JJ's arms and pulling her with her. ''I'll show you what a good time in New York City can be.''

''Could please tell me where we're going?'' JJ asked as she followed Tracy into the copy room. JJ didn't even know the room existed. She always used the other copy room. ''What is this?''

Tracy stepped in the middle of the empty room. She held up her hands and smiled widely. ''This is my closet, JJ!'' she said as she pointed to the closets that were against the back wall.

''You have a closet? In the office? Don't they use this room for anything?'' JJ asked curiously as she stepped next to Tracy.

''Well, there are rumors going around that this is the make-out closet, so no one wants to officially use it for anything. So I decided to put some clothes in here in case I needed to wear something different.'' she explained happily. ''And right now we both need a different outfit to go out.''

''I'm too tired to go out, Tracy. I really need to sleep.'' JJ yawned. ''It's late.''

''Its nine o'clock and you can sleep tomorrow.'' she countered. ''Wear this!'' she ordered, throwing a burgundy dress at JJ. ''I always wanted to wear that but it doesn't fit me. I think you'll fit into it.'' she added as she quickly grabbed a dress herself.

JJ quickly changed into the skintight dress. It fitted perfectly and she had to admit she looked pretty good when she looked in the mirror. She pulled her hair from the ponytail and let it fall over her shoulders. She turned around to look at Tracy who was almost unrecognizable. She looked beautiful in the black dress that she wore. Her light brown hair just got to her shoulders in nice curls. ''You look great, Tracy.'' JJ complimented. ''I have to say that it feels good to dress up. It has been ages for me.''

''You look hot! Like a hot hottie!'' Tracy joked as she stepped next to JJ to inspect herself in the mirror. ''This is going to be fun.''

''Griffen should see you like this.'' JJ commented in a laugh. ''Has he ever seen you like this?''

''No, never!'' Tracy replied. ''He's my boss so I don't share this part of my life with him.''

''So you and Griffen never…you know?'' JJ said, hinting at the subject. She just didn't want to put it too far out there. She barely knew Tracy and she didn't want to cross a line.

Tracy shook her head in response. ''No, I just don't sleep with colleagues.'' she began. ''And Griffen is like this person I can always count on. He's always there for me. I don't know what I'm supposed to call him. But I know sleeping together would ruin the relationship we have and I'm not willing to risk that for anything.''

JJ felt a part of her being reassured. She could see some hints between Tracy and Griffen. But now she understood. They were just very good friends. And it made her feel better because her boss was very attractive and sometimes she wished he wasn't her boss so she could get another night with him. ''Yeah, I understand.'' JJ said in a hurry, hoping Tracy wasn't going to ask her the same question.

Tracy noticed some discomfort on JJ's face and it immediately made her wonder what was she was thinking about. And then she got it. ''You didn't? You did?'' she asked in shock, holding her hands in front of her mouth as JJ nodded her head. ''Oh my god! You did! You slept with Griffen West!''

''Yeah, I did.'' JJ repeated as she leaned against the wall behind her. She was happy she could talk to someone about it. It had been ages since she had someone she could talk to about that part of her life. Sean was still one of her best friends but she couldn't tell him. A part of JJ was afraid that Hotch would find out some way, even though she knew Sean would never tell Hotch about her private life. That ship had sailed long ago.

''Was he good?'' Tracy asked boldly.

''Amazing!'' JJ sighed as she couldn't stop laughing when Tracy was still shocked. The look on her face was idiotic and funny at the same time. ''He's…wow!''

''I…I…I…just can't believe this. This is huge.'' she exclaimed. ''When did this happen?''

''Oh, it was three years ago when we first met.'' JJ began. ''I guess we both needed some company.''

''Well, you didn't pick the worst man to spent the night with.''

''I know!''

''You have to tell me everything!''

JJ sighed deeply before she started to talk. She knew she could talk about it for hours but she wouldn't do that. She just liked that she had Tracy to talk to. She was a great person and JJ already realized she might be a great friend one day.
