Emily suddenly realized that JJ hadn't found her note, and she thought yesterday was a dream, it was kind of cute actually. The brunette managed to stifle a few giggles.
"Was it a bad dream, Jennifer?I mean, did you not enjoy it?" Emily asked, looking deep into JJ's beautiful blue eyes. JJ shook her head, tears running down her cheeks.
"I don't know how to tell you this, Em, but it was the best dream I've ever had. I am in love with you, and have been for years. I'm so sorry." The blonde managed to breathlessly splutter through sobs. Emily smiled a loving smile, took the other woman's hands in hers and wiped each of her tears away.
"Well, that's good news, Miss Jareau." Emily assured her, leaning in close. "Because, I too am in love with you, and have been for many years."
"You are?" JJ asked, her voice thick with tears. Emily nodded, pulling JJ in and kissing her forehead.
"Also,that is very good news, because it was not a dream, My love." Emily whispered. JJ pulled back, and looked at the one true love of her life and smiled, slightly embarrassed.
"It wasn't?" she giggled - Emily shook her head. "I'm so stupid." Emily shook her head again.
"No, Jennifer, you're not stupid. You gave us another chance to admit our feelings to one another, speaking of which..." Emily did not finish what she was going to say, instead she pulled JJ in for the most passionate, raw, kiss they had ever shared - you could see the sparks flying off their lips when they finally broke apart, JJ leant back on her car seat and grinned wildly.
"SO glad that wasn't a dream." she said, giving her girlfriend another peck.
"It's always nice to know I'm the girl of your dreams though." Emily replied.
"Oh, baby, how could you not be?"
"Jennifer, can I ask you a question?" Emily said, half way through her bagel.
"Sure. What is it?" JJ smiled, looking up from her very full plate of bacon and eggs.
"Why did you lie to everyone about being straight? Why would you make up a boyfriend? And what made you tell me how you felt after all this time?"
"That's 3 questions... But let me think, I guess I lied about being straight because I was scared to tell everyone... I mean, I only told Garcia the day before I told you. And once I'd started lying, it was too hard to stop, so I made up a boyfriend to cover my tracks... Which seems really stupid now I think about it. It took me so long to tell you because I was scared that you wouldn't want to be my friend anymore if I confessed my feelings, and that would've broken my heart... Did break my heart. But, one day I just realized I had to tell you. So I did, and it started this. You made me the happiest woman alive, Baby. I will always love you." JJ confessed, hoping Emily would understand her feelings. Emily smiled. "What is it?"
"Did you tell Garcia about your feelings while I was in the bathroom at breakfast?" Emily asked.
"Yeah, why?" JJ answered, Emily chuckled.
"Because I told her while you were in the bathroom." Emily told her. JJ chuckled too.
"We definitely are meant to be together, huh?"
"Oh yes, Jareau, yes we are." If they hadn't been sat in a full cafe right then, JJ would've kissed Emily, kissed her with all the passion the little blonde could manage. But neither of them were big on the whole PDA thing, so she just grabbed her hand.
"I love you, Prentiss."
"I love you too, Baby."
