"I hope you like it."
JJ closed the front door, having just seen Henry off to his sleepover with Aunt Penny and made her way into the kitchen where Emily was putting lasagna in the oven. She slid up behind her girlfriend and wrapped her arms around Emily's waist as she righted herself and closed the oven door.
"What ever are we going to do with the house to ourselves tonight?" JJ asked suggestively, pressing a kiss to the dip where Emily's shoulder met her neck.
Emily turned in JJ's arms and grinned. "I have some ideas," she admitted, backing JJ up against the island counter and kissing her soundly. When JJ deepened the kiss, Emily lifted her by the hips and put her on the counter, the blonde's legs automatically wrapping around Emily's waist to bring her closer.
"Emily," JJ groaned as the aforementioned woman raked her teeth gently down the side of her neck.
"Hmm?" Emily replied distractedly as her hands made their way under JJ's shirt.
"You know we…have to eat on this counter…right?" JJ managed to get out, raising her arms above her head compliantly as Emily lifted her shirt off.
"Yes, I plan on it."
JJ giggled breathlessly and pushed Emily gently away from her with a hand on her collarbone but not relinquishing the hold she had on Emily's waist with her legs. She cupped the side of Emily's face with one hand and kissed her slowly. JJ pulled back slightly to start a path of kisses down Emily's jaw and neck. She was unbuttoning Emily's shirt, kissing each patch of newly exposed skin when she felt more than heard Emily mumble something. "What?" JJ murmured. She sat up and looked at her girlfriend with concern when Emily stilled her hands with both of hers.
"I said," Emily took a deep breath and kissed the tips of JJ's fingers. "Marry me, Jennifer."
JJ's eyes grew wide and her heart leapt in her chest. "Wha?" she asked unintelligently, totally unprepared.
Emily bit her lower lip and looked down for a second. "You know, I was trying to plan this out to be perfect and special…that's what I've been doing with Garcia lately. I wanted to have flowers and candles and maybe music?" she shook her head. "And then, just now, it occurred to me that every moment I have with you is perfect and special." She let go of one of JJ's hands and reached into her pocket, pulling out a small, grey velvet box. She looked up at JJ who had tears standing in her eyes. "I'll be honest, I've never even imagined doing something like this before, but…I hope you like it." She opened the box and turned it so it was facing JJ, grinning when JJ did.
"Oh, Em…" JJ whispered, flexing the fingers of her left hand as Emily slipped the ring on her finger. "It's perfect. You're perfect." She pulled Emily into a heated kiss, delighting in the way the metal band felt on her finger.
"So is that a yes?" Emily asked playfully when they pulled apart.
JJ rolled her eyes. "Yes!"
