JJ was trying to focus on the file in front of her, but she couldn't think of anything but Emily. Why had she left so coldly? Not a wink, or a smile even! JJ kept playing the conversation over and over in her head. She didn't know what she could have said.
She looked up when she heard a knock on her door. "Yeah?" She called out.
The door opened to reveal Emily and a stack of files. "Hey, so Morgan and Hotch just left, and I thought maybe I'd take you up on that offer to work in here. If it's still open…" Emily said questioningly.
JJ's heart soared on seeing Emily. Maybe she'd imagined the coldness earlier. "Yeah, yeah, come in." She said with a smile.
Emily smiled back and sat down across the desk from JJ, setting her files down on the desk. JJ had this uncontrollable urge to go to Emily and hug her, but she refrained, remembering Garcia's warning about the security cameras.
"I wasn't sure you were gonna take me up on my offer." JJ said timidly.
"Yeah, um, sorry about that. I didn't mean to leave so abruptly earlier it's just…I dunno. It was stupid."
"No…what? Come on. Em, you can tell me anything." JJ got up and went around her desk, taking the seat next to Emily. She put her hand tentatively on Emily's arm.
Emily put her other hand over JJ's. JJ felt comforted by the gesture.
"It really is stupid." Emily said, shaking her head.
"Please, just…just tell me anyway." JJ encouraged her.
"It was just that when you told Garcia that it wasn't like we were teenagers who couldn't keep our hand off each other…I dunno…it hurt a little. Because that's exactly what it feels like for me. I constantly want to touch you. And it made me worry that maybe it's not the same for you. I know, it sounds stupid. I just…"
"I was just saying that to Garcia. For me..I do…I just…I really…I'm the same way. Whenever I'm around you I want to be touching you and kissing you and to be honest I'm not completely sure that I trust myself to be alone with you in a room, but we're at work, and we need to remember that we're at work doing a job. And I just told Garcia that so maybe she wouldn't spend all her time spying on us in here. Though I'm sure that didn't work anyway." JJ words flew out a mile a minute. She was flustered. She wanted to make sure that Emily understood the effect that she had on her.
"Yeah, it definitely didn't work…Hey, Jayj? You think that corner there is covered by the security camera?" Emily said eyeing a dark corner of the office.
"You mean the one under the camera? Probably not." JJ said with a grin, cocking one eyebrow.
Emily stood up nonchalantly, and headed for the corner. JJ followed her lead a second later. Her blinds to her windows were still down. The minute that JJ was sure that she'd cleared the view of the camera, she pushed Emily against the wall, unable to control herself. She felt her body pressing against the brunette's, and it turned her on insanely. She captured Emily's lips in her own and felt fire race through her veins. JJ was really not sure how long she and Emily would be able to "take it slow." The effect they seemed to have on each other made that option seem somewhat impossible. JJ let her body melt into Emily's. She slipped her tongue into Emily's inviting mouth and teasingly flicked Emily's tongue with it. She pulled back, slightly out of breath, careful to stay out of view of the camera.
"How long do you think we have before Garcia marches out of her office and barges in here?" She asked while breathing heavily.
"Oh…I dunno. She's probably already on her way." Emily replied, also somewhat breathlessly.
"Well," JJ said, as she planted another soft kiss on Emily's lips, "we'd better get to work then." Her body screamed at her not to, but she pulled away from Emily and headed back behind her desk. She felt slightly empty now that she wasn't touching Emily. It was as if her body was calling out to be touching Emily's. Emily sat down on her side of the desk and pulled a file towards her. JJ watched her for a second, admiring the perfection of the other woman's body. She looked down at her work.
"What the HELL was that???" Garcia burst into the office.
"I thought you promised that you weren't going barge in." Emily said teasingly.
"That was before you two disappeared strategically off camera! So what exactly were you two doing out of the camera's range?" Garcia pressed for an answer.
"Wouldn't you like to know." Emily replied with a grin on her face.
"Well from the looks of the two of you: you glowing," Garcia said indicating Emily, "and you sitting there with a grin on your face and your lips slightly swollen," Garcia nodded towards JJ, "I'm gonna go with getting all hot and heavy. And at work no less! You two are like teenagers who can't keep their hands off each other, aren't you?" It was more an exclamation than a question, so neither woman felt the need to answer. JJ blushed and laughed. She couldn't help herself. She was like a school girl with a crush. Or more than that. A school girl in…No! She stopped herself. You are not in….in anything with Emily. You're in like with her. There you go. That works! The possibility of love hadn't really existed in JJ's life for a while, and it was definitely too soon to have with Emily, not to mention really scary. It wasn't exactly that JJ was a commitmentphobe, she just…she didn't like rushing in to committed relationships. Or relationships in general. She liked to take her time. But being with Emily was like nothing she'd ever felt before.
"So you were kissing! Jayj you cannot hid that blush behind a folder!" Garcia exclaimed.
JJ hadn't even realized she'd been doing it, but sure enough she'd raised the file in front of her and sunk down in her chair a little to try to hide her blush. She'd always tried to hide when she was embarrassed and blushing.
"I think it's cute." Emily said, flashing JJ a smile that made her heart leap. JJ blushed deeper and sunk down further in her chair.
"Garcia will you go back to your office so we can all try to get some work done. We are at work remember. We do have jobs to do." JJ reminded them, trying to change the subject.
"Hey, I'm not the one who was making out in the corner." Garcia replied with a wink.
"Yeah, but we weren't the ones watching hacked into video feeds." Emily retorted. The three of them giggled.
"Ok, ok. I'll leave you two love birds alone." Garcia headed for the door, then paused. "You know…I could put the feed from this office on a loop. Then you two would be able to do whatever you want." She offered.
"Yeah, but then a) you might get caught and might take us down with you, and b) somehow I have a feeling you'd still somehow manage to watch the live feed." JJ replied.
Garcia pretended to be hurt and shocked. "The Queen of the Hackers, not to mention Queen of All Technology, get caught? Never! And you think I'd sell out my friends. Ha! Just for that, I'm not looping the feed. So there!" Garcia stuck out her tongue playfully then left the office.
JJ glanced at Emily who smiled back at her, a big, genuine smile. The two shared a quick laugh, and then Garcia stuck her head back in the door.
"By the way, ladies, that supply closet down the hallway by the bathroom has no security camera. Don't know why I'm telling you this, or why it might interest you. Just idle information." Garcia said, faking being nonchalant. Then she was gone again.
JJ looked back at Emily with one eyebrow raised. Emily was looking back at her with a wicked brain.
"Well I guess we know what we're doing next time we take a break." Emily said. JJ grinned back. She had only been officially dating Emily for a day now, and already she could tell that this wasn't going to be like any other relationship she'd ever had. This was certainly shaping up to be an interesting day at the office.
