They arrived back at the office a few hours later, welcomed by Garcia whom was holding a tray full of pink glasses. ''to what do we owe this pleasure?'' Rossi asked after he had thanked Garcia for the sparkly pink glass she gave him. '' It's just because I love you guys'' shrugged Garcia, her cheeks slightly pink.

'' You're amazing baby girl'' he smiled before placing a gentle kiss on top of her head. Emily politely declined Garcia's offer for a drink which stirred JJ's attention. '' Are you still in pain?'' JJ whispered as she sipped from the straw in her glass.

''Hmm..'' Emily groaned, the smell of alcohol worsening her pain '' I'm just tired''. '' Well I've officially invited myself to your place for tonight. I'm buying dinner. You deserve to be taken care off'' JJ stated. Emily chuckled slightly, she had missed this contact with JJ.

For a few seconds she had forgotten about the fact that JJ knew about her crush. It came flying back when they were collecting their coats and bags after finishing the drinks. '' JJ. My head's actually fine'' Emily smiled, '' I'm just going to shower and get to bed I think'. JJ sighed as she faced a pale looking Emily. '' Hmm.. too bad. I'm still coming though'' she shrugged.

Emily could feel Garcia's prying eyes as she held the door open for JJ when they left the building. '' Do you want to drive together or separate?'' JJ asked after an awkward silence.

'' Separate's better I think. You need your car when you leave'' pointed Emily as she reached for her keys. JJ looked surprised, she wasn't used to this side of Emily.

Emily pushed open the door of her apartment, followed by a stricken and nervous looking JJ. '' You want wine?'' Emily asked when she dropped her keys on the counter in the kitchen. ''Sure'' agreed JJ as she moved Sergio slightly so that she could take a seat next to him. Emily handed JJ the glass and took a seat opposite of her.

''Emily'' JJ started, '' i-..''. But she quickly faltered and pulled the skin around her fingers. '' Thought I was the only one with that unhealthy coping mechanism'' smiled Emily softly as she sipped on her wine. ''Yeah, well'' shrugged the uncomfortable looking blonde.

''Okay, this is uncomfortable enough JJ. Let's just forget you ever heard Penelope expose me. I've been pushing it away since we've met, I can do it for a few more years''.

JJ suddenly stood up, surprising Sergio whom hissed at the blonde. '' But maybe I don't want to forget'' she said. Emily tried to hide her surprise and confusion '' What do you mean? You want me to leave the BAU?''.

'' No, god. Of course. I meant'' JJ said as she stepped closer towards Emily, they were inches apart by now. '' I meant, that I don't want to forget'' JJ whispered as she brushed her lips against Emily's cheek. '' Because you haven't even asked me, if I felt the same'' muttered JJ as she placed a soft kiss on top of Emily's ear. '' Well….'' Stammered Emily, '' do you?''.

'' Try, and find out'' smirked JJ, as she moved Emily's chin so that they were eye to eye again. '' Oh I will'' growled Emily before wrapping her arms around JJ and pulling her tight to her. Both women looked into each other's eyes before JJ closed the gap between them.

Emily's heart burst as she merged into JJ, their lips moving rhythmically as if they were made for each other, she brushed her hand through JJ's blonde hair and smiled as JJ stifled a soft moan. JJ's hands moved up and down Emily's waist before moving her mouth down Emily's neck.

Emily's hands moved towards the hem of JJ's T-shirt, but they were interrupted by a shrill ringing coming from their phones. ''No, no, no'' groaned JJ as she slowly let go of Emily. Emily chuckled slightly before picking up her phone.

An apologetic Hotch asked them to come back in, a new case had arisen. Once both women hung up, Emily reached for JJ's hand. '' We need to talk about this, after the case. What this is'' she said, before pulling JJ closed again. JJ placed a soft kiss on Emily's lips and smiled '' It feels amazing to be able to do that''.

The women arrived a few minutes after each other at the BAU office, both still a little flustered from what had just happened. Emily was the last to take a seat, nursing a steaming mug of coffee.

Garcia was about to tell them about the case when Morgan started laughing. '' What's so funny?'' Reid asked, fearing the laughing was aimed at him. '' Prentiss'' he smirked, '' What do you have in your neck''. Emily's eyes widened, she unlocked her phone and opened her camera, a large hickey sat in her neck. Emily's cheeks burned a bright red and avoided JJ's eyes as she threw a pen in Morgan's direction.

Rossi, the only one that knew JJ and Emily left together, looked from one to the other woman and smiled. '' Who is the lucky one?'' he asked, '' oh fuck off Morgan''.

The team chuckled but were interrupted by Hotch whom was hiding a smirk. '' Let's focus on the case, Garcia?''. '' Yes, yes'' an inquisitive looking Garcia said as she reached for the controller for the TV.

''A family was attacked. Parents were brutally murdered while the kids were forced to watch, because the unsub-'' said Garcia, but she couldn't stomach finishing her sentence. '' The unsub had sown the eyes from the two children open but left them alive'' Hotch finished for her.

'' Those poor kids'' muttered Garcia flustered. '' We need to be there fast, we're expecting the unsub to strike again soon. Wheels up in 30'' Hotch said.

They closed the files, and everyone went over to their desks to grab their go bags. ''That must hurt'' smirked Derek as he stood next to Emily. '' Hurts less then when I kick you in the shin'' Emily retorted. She grabbed a scarf from her chair and wrapped it around her neck.

'' Good for you'' smirked Morgan before making his way over towards Garcia. '' I am so sorry'' whispered JJ behind her. ''It was worth it'' replied Emily as she avoided eye contact with the blonde. Emily caressed JJ's upper leg with her hand before holding the door open for her.

The entire team waited at the elevator, while Emily and JJ tried to refrain themselves from flushing even more red. Once they arrived at the jet, the woman took a seat opposite of each other in the back.

Morgan and Rossi sat on the other side of the jet and smiled ''How long till they tell us?'' Morgan asked Rossi. '' I'll give them a week before we catch them in the act'' Rossi replied, '' I'll bet you a 50 that it'll be in three days'' Morgan retorted. ''I'll see who else wants a part in the bet'' laughed Morgan as he walked over towards Reid and Hotch, Morgan eyed the two women, making sure they didn't notice anything.

'' Reid and Hotch are in, both put down 50'' Morgan said when he took a seat next to Rossi again. '' I texted Garcia, she bet 50 that it'll be in two weeks'' Rossi said. '' May the best man win'' Morgan said as they shook hands.

'' Oh don't worry, he will''.
