Chapter 28:
While Emily carried their bags to the bedroom, JJ looked around. The suit had a kitchen/living room area, a bathroom, with a jacuzzi. She walked from the bathroom into the bedroom where Emily put their clothes in the wardrobe.
"Emily, this place i huge!"
"I know! That's why they call it a suit baby!" Emily teased, before she disappeared into the walk-in closet.
"How on earth can you afford this? I don't want you to use all of your savings on me! I mean what about house payment? And your car!" The only answer JJ got, was some small mumble from inside the closet.
"What was that Emily?" JJ called from the bedroom. She sat down at the bed and waited patiently for the other woman to come out. Emily walked over to the bed and sat down next to JJ.
"I guess it's time to talk about money." Emily sighed softly and tok JJ's hand. "I know I should have told you all of this a lot sooner, but I guess I was scared. What do you know about the "Prentiss"-name?"
"Uhm... It's your name." JJ joked and tried to make Emily smile, witch she succeeded with.
"Funny Jay! Well, the "Prentiss"-name is an old name, and the line of Prentiss' go a long way back. The first Prentiss' were gold miners, and let's just say they got really lucky. After the gold, it was the oil industry. Each Prentiss has invested in a new project, witch has been a major success. And the family is small, until my great, great, great grandfather there was only one boy in the family, and after that only one child. Witch means that since I am an only child, I will inherit a lot! I also have a trust fond. I don't use it much, I like to think that I can make it work with what I earn myself, but I used it to pay for my car and my apartment."
JJ just gaped and looked at the brunette. She had always imagined that Emily was wealthy, but because of her mother. And she had no idea that she was this rich.
"Jay, please say something!" Emily nervously looked at the blonde. She was scared JJ would reject her and be mad because she didn't tell her about this sooner.
"I...I don't know what to say Em! I mean, you're rich! Like unbelievable, beyond my imagination rich!" Emily just sat next to her, while she let the blonde process it all.
"You know what, Em?" JJ asked, and Emily shifted on the bed, moved uncomfortable around and avoided eye contact with the younger woman. JJ grabbed the brunette's hand and gave it a squeeze.
"I don't care Em!" Emily's eyes met the blonde's and she could see love shining through. "I don't care if you're rich or poor, do you hear me?" Emily nodded and felt her eyes water. As the tears fell from her eyes, JJ pulled her into a tight embrace.
"I don't care about the money, or the fame or anything else. I don't want that. I want you, Emily!" The blonde whispered soothingly into Emily's ear. Emily gripped her tighter and JJ ran her hand through the soft, dark brown hair.
As she felt Emily calm down, JJ pulled away from the embrace. With her thumb she wiped away the remaining of the brunette's tears before she slowly leaned in and kissed the older woman. The kiss was slow and gentle, and JJ tried to put all of her love into it. When they finally pulled away, they rested their foreheads together and gazed into each others eyes.
"I guess you really are going to spoil me rotten!" JJ laughed softly, and soon Emily joined in.
"Like I said: Only the best is almost good enough for my girl!"
"I like it when you say that."
"Say what?"
"You, calling me your girl. You really know how to woo a woman Prentiss."
"Again with the Prentiss? It's still Agent Prentiss, Agent Jareau!" Emily smiled and shock her head.
"Hey! Where's my kiss!" JJ whined and her lip formed a pout. Emily chuckled, but leaned forward and pressed the sweetest of kisses on the blonde's pout.
"Happy now, baby?"
"You hav no idea! You make me so, so happy Emily!"
"Good! Because you make me happy too Jay!" The two of the lay down on the bed facing each other. Emily's hand found JJ's back and lazily drew circles with her nails. JJ closed her eyes and sighed happily. To be in Emily's arms made the blonde feel safe. Her nightmares were less scary when she was with Emily, and despite the fact that she didn't want to, it helped to talk to the brunette when she woke up screaming in the night.
"Emily?"
"Yes, sweetie?"
"Will you say something in Norwegian for me?"
"Why would you want me to say something in Norwegian to you?"
"Because you're so cute when you speak Norwegian! And it's so, so, SO sexy to hear you speak in a different language! I've never mentioned it before?"
Emily chuckled, "no, you haven't! But I haven't spoken that much foreign languages in front of you!"
"Russian, Spanish, Italian and Norwegian. But what ever language you speak, it's so sexy to hear!"
"Okay, but what do you want me to say?"
"Anything, everything!"
"That's not so easy!"
"Well, uhm, talk about me!" JJ smiled innocently.
"The humble Jennifer Jareau!" She moved her left hand down JJ's arm and intertwined their fingers.
"JJ, du har forandret livet mitt. Til det bedre! Når jeg våkner opp om morgnen er du det første jeg tenker på. Jeg er så glad for at vi har bestemt oss for å prøve ut forholdet vårt, og jeg er så glad for å få lov til å kalle deg min! Jeg kommer til å bruke resten av livet mitt på å forsøke å gjøre deg så lykkelig som jeg er! Jeg vet det er tidelig og jeg vil ikke presse deg til å si det tilbake, men jeg elsker deg Jennifer Jareau!"
"What did you say?"
"JJ, you've changed my life. For the better! When I wake up in the morning you're the first thing on my mind. I'm so happy we decided to try out a relationship between us, and I'm so very happy to get to call you mine! I will spend the rest of my life trying to make you as happy as I am! I know it's early and I don't want to pressure you into saying it back, but I love you Jennifer Jareau!"
JJ had tears streaming down her face, as she listened to her girlfriend talk about her feelings. For the first time in her life she really felt loved.
"You love me?" the blonde blinker her eyes, and leaned into the hand of the brunette, who was wiping the tears away.
"I do, Jen. I think I fell for you when I first saw you, but I loved you as a friend before we decided to try "us" out, so I knew all along it wouldn't take long for me to fall head over heels in love with you!"
"Emily?"
"Yeah, love?"
"I love you too!"
