When she got back to the bullpen everyone was still there, which was good. The team was on standby, still waiting to be officially invited to the case. Emily looked around and there was still no sign of Rossi, which was better.

She sat down at her desk and started working on the last file that was crowding her desk. She loved her job more than anything but all the paperwork is one thing she could do without.

Emily looked at her watch, it was almost time for her break. She closed her file and turned off her computer. When she looked up from her computer she saw Rossi standing right in front of her desk.

"Coffee?" He asked.

Emily looked at him before nodding her head. She grabbed her bag and walked to the elevators with him. Once they got to the parking garage Rossi offered to drive and Emily didn't argue.

Once they stared driving Emily broke the silence. "This seems eerily familiar." She thought out loud.

"Hopefully it won't be as difficult for you this time." Rossi said focused on the road. "But my ears as still here and I can handle anything you need to get off your chest."

That made Emily feel safe and she really believed him. When she had opened up to him about her time in Rome he hadn't pushed her and he didn't judge or treat her any different. He was like a therapist for her, he always seemed to know what to say and what to do. That being said she still wasn't going to tell him anything about her and Will.

It was only a short drive to the coffee shop and once they arrived he told Emily to sit down at a table while he ordered their coffee.

She felt like a teenager who just got caught doing something wrong and was awaiting getting yelled at and she defiantly knew what that felt like from her youth.

She looked out the window while she waited. It was a nice day out, the sun was bright and it was warm enough that she didn't have to wear a sweater.

Emily couldn't ignore the reason she was there though. She knew Rossi would probably want to talk about what happened at the office party. She wondered if he was mad or if he knew who was in his office with her. That was a scary thought.

Thankfully Rossi sat down at the table, effectively pulling her out of her head and placed her coffee in front of her.

"Thanks." Emily said quietly.

They drank in silence before Emily got tired of it. "Is there a reason why we're in a run down coffee shop not talking?"

"I was enjoying the silence." Rossi replied, although they both knew that wasn't true. Emily shot him a look that reminded him of his second wife, so he continued. "We're both profilers Emily, we both know why we're here."

Emily took a deep breath before speaking. "I don't know what to say." She looked out the window, refusing to look at Rossi, knowing that he was looking at her. "If I could take it back I would."

"That's bullshit and we both know it." Rossi said causing Emily's head to whip back to look at Rossi, shock clearly visible on her face. "If you knew you would regret it later than you wouldn't have done it, it's called a conscious. It's the same thing that keeps you from breaking the law."

"I know what a conscious is." Emily sighed. "I guess I just didn't think I would get caught. I'm sorry."

Rossi broke eye contact with her to look out the window. "I'm not mad at you, I never was. I just don't want anyone to get hurt. It's none of my business who you sleep with and I don't think I have to remind you about being professional around and with the people we work with." Rossi looked at her once again. "I just want you to realize the risks of having sex at work, believe me I know. It's not worth it in the long run."

Emily listened to him intently. He hadn't said that he knew who was in his office with her and she was really hoping he didn't.

Rossi began talking again, pulling her from her thoughts again. "You're a smart woman Emily, I don't think I need to explain to you what's right and what's wrong. Besides I'm not your dad."

Emily offered him a weak smile before turning serious once again. She wondered if she should just let the topic drop or keep probing. She decided to keep probing in a very Emily like way.

"Did you see who I was with?" She asked, almost afraid of what his answer would be.

"I've heard rumors that it was the hot guy from the third floor." Rossi said with a smile. Emily rolled her eyes, oh JJ. "Other then that I don't know, but like I said before it's none of my business anyway."

Emily nodded before finishing up the last of her coffee. Rossi picked up her empty cup as well as his and threw them in the trash. "Come on kid, we've got bad guys to lock up."

Emily smiled at Rossi as they finally walked out of the run down coffee shop and got into the SUV. The drive back was a lot less awkward and they were able to have a real conversation.

When they got back to the police station Rossi dropped her off by the door. When she got out she leaned into the window slightly and said. "Thank you, Rossi."

"Don't worry about it Em."

"No I mean it and not just for today but also for before. Thank you, for everything." She said sincerely before pushing herself away from the car and walking up to the building without looking back.

AN: Another chapter will probably be up on Sunday.
