AN: The long awaited date has finally arrived. Enjoy!

As Emily got ready her heart was thumping in her chest. She changed her clothes and fixed her makeup and waited for Jason to come pick her up. It was almost seven and the sun was starting to set, as it was late October. She decided to grab a jacket for when it got colder when the sun went down.

Within a few minutes of her finishing getting ready there was a knock at her door. With one last look in the mirror she opened the door.

"Hey." She said lamely with a big smile on her face.

"Hey." He said while pulling a small bouquet of flowers from behind his back and handing them to Emily. "You look great."

Emily blushed a little, but Jason didn't notice. "Thanks, you're sweet." She said, as she smelled the flowers. "Let me just put them in water and then we can go."

She opened the door wider and gestured for him to come in. She closed the door behind him and they went into the kitchen. She then proceeded to cut the steams of the flowers and put them in a vase filled with water.

As she did this Jason spoke. "I hope bringing you these flowers didn't make me too much of a cliché, but when I was a teenager my mother told me to never show up to a girls house empty handed." He smiled at Emily, making her insides melt. "I guess old habits die hard."

Emily laughed. "Well you can certainly keep this habit. The flowers are beautiful."

Jason bit the inside of his mouth to keep himself from saying something really cheesy. "So are we ready to go?" He asked.

"You're really not going to tell me where we're going?" Emily asked instead of answering his question.

Jason smirked and shook his head. Emily sighed. "Alright lets go."

Emily gabbed her purse and the two of them left her apartment, on the way to who knows where. When they got in Jason's car she started guessing where they were going.

"Movie?" She asked

"No."

"Dinner?"

"Nope."

"Batting cage?"

That one made Jason burst into a fit of uncontrollable laughter. "What kind of dates have you been on? No, I'm not going to embarrass you at the batting cage."

Emily didn't miss the little stab that Jason slipped in but she let it go with a smile.

"I give up." Emily declared after trying to think of more places.

"Don't worry we're almost there." He said without looking at her.

Within a few minutes they pulled up to an outdoor ice rink. Skating. Emily had to give him credit, she had never been on an skating date before.

The rink was empty, as it was a homemade rink next to the locked arena where children would fool around while they waited for their parents.

Emily was excited she loved skating. When she was younger she used to skate whenever she could, self-taught of course because they moved around too much for her to be in lessons.

Once Jason parked the car they got out and all at once Emily looked down at her feet. She didn't have skates she realized. As if Jason read her mind he opened the back door and took out two pairs of skates. He handed her the pair of size seven's.

She thanked him and while they sat on the hood of the car to put on their skates he said. "I'll give you one guess as to how I knew your shoe size."

Emily let out a breathy laugh. "Oh I don't need a guess, I know who told you." She sighed with a smile. "You know sometimes I love JJ but sometimes I really hate her."

Jason stood up. "Do you love or hate her right now?" He said offering Emily his hand to help her stand up.

"I'll let you know once the date is over." She said smiling up at him once she was standing.

The two made there way to the rustic rink and began skating under the light of one of the streetlights in the parking lot. It took a few minutes and one or two falls to get the hang of it but soon Emily was skating like a pro.

Jason skated next to her and they talked about everything under the sun, no streetlight.

"So what's it really like working at the BAU?" Jason asked.

"Haven't you heard that answer from Will or JJ?"

"Will works for the police force, that's different and all JJ ever says is it's stressful."

"Well there goes my answer." Emily said causing Jason to laugh. "Working at the BAU is not a piece of cake. It's gets kind of scary when you're in a place you've never heard of and there's a serial killer on the loose. Knowing all the gruesome details, I could certainly do without that. But it also shows you that there are good people in the world. There are hardworking people who risk their lives to save strangers and there are some victims who don't act like victims. They fight back and they survive because they are strong. Those are the people I look forward to meeting and helping."

She paused for a second when she lost her balance a little. Once she regained it she resumed talking.

"It's not a job with no stress that's for sure but I don't think I would be able to do anything else. I wouldn't be a good telemarketer, that's for sure." Emily laughed. "The jet lag blows too."

"I could never do what you do, the work you and the rest of the team does is amazing." Jason said as he stopped skating and turned towards her.

Emily stopped as well. "Thank you, you're sweet."

Jason smiled at her and then continued to skate. It took a second to register that he was gone, she thought he was going to kiss her. It would have been a perfect place for a first kiss. Alone, obviously, in the cool October breeze just after the sun went down, but for some reason no.

Emily started skating again and caught up to him quickly. "So what do you do?" She asked.

"My job is lame compared to yours." He replied.

"Are we comparing scars now? I wanna know." She said playfully.

"I work at a mechanic shop." He said simply.

"See that's cool." Emily assured him. "But I'm not going to pretend I know anything about mechanical stuff."

They laughed together and continued to talk about nothing. After about an hour and a half Emily's legs were starting to hurt and the chill of the night breeze was getting to her.

"I don't remember my legs hurting like this when I was a teenager." Emily said breathlessly, she also didn't remember having this much trouble getting her breath back either but she wasn't going to mention that.

"Thank god you said something, I feel like my legs are going to fall off." Jason replied laughing.

They got off the ice and walked over to the car again. They sat on the hood and took off their skates.

"This was fun, thanks for asking me out and I'm sorry it got delayed." Emily said once she got her regular boots back on.

"Hold your horses, you can't get rid of me that easily. I have one more thing up my sleeve." Jason said as he secured his shoe and went to the back of the car once again.

He reappeared quickly with a thermos and a blanket.

"Don't worry, this hot chocolate not alcohol mixed with anything and this blanket is to get rid of the chill nothing more." He reassured her as he came back around to the hood of the car.

"I'm not worried." Emily said taking the thermos from him. He wrapped half the blanket around her shoulders and then sat on the car and wrapped the rest around himself, leaving enough space between them to be respectable.

Emily unscrewed the top of thermos and was immediately met with the smell of chocolate. She poured some for herself and then gave the thermos back to Jason to drink out of, since there was only one cup.

The metal cup warmed her hands and the liquid warmed her insides as she drank it. " I haven't had hot chocolate in probably twent- a long time." She said quickly correcting herself.

She didn't know how old Jason was but he didn't seem like her age, probably five or so years younger than her. Which was fine with Emily, of course.

Her little slip didn't go unnoticed by Jason who laughed lightly. "Yeah me either."

The car was facing the road, so they could watch the lights of the city and the cars drive by every now and then. Emily almost didn't want the night to end. Once they finished drinking the hot chocolate they got off the hood of the car to actually get in the car.

"You know we could have just drank the hot chocolate in the car, with the heat on to warm up." Emily realized out loud.

"We could have." Jason replied. "But what's original in that."

"Touché." Emily said as they got in the car and started to drive back to her apartment.

This was the hard part of the date, the part Emily had been thinking about all night. Should she invite him in or not? She was attracted to him, of course or she wouldn't have agreed to go on the date, and he was attracted to her but she wasn't sure. It had been a perfect date so far but she didn't know if sex would mess it up or not. What if it was lousy sex? It probably wouldn't be, but what if it was?

She decided to just see what happened when they got to her apartment, just trust her gut feeling instead of analyzing every part of it like she usually did.

The drive to her apartment seemed incredibly short and soon they in the parking lot of her building. Jason offered to walk her up to her apartment. They took the stairs so they could talk longer but by the third flight they both realized it was a mistake.

"I'm blaming you for this one." Jason said with a smirk.

"I told you I would take the elevator." She replied, her voice raising an octave.

"Yeah after you told me you were afraid of elevators, I'm not going to jump in an elevator after you tell me you're afraid of them." He said laughing.

"Anyway it doesn't matter." Emily said finally, knowing he was right. "It's done, who remembers who said what?"

Jason raised his hand at the rhetorical question, causing Emily to laugh and playfully push his shoulder as they reached the top of the stairs.

"I had a really great time tonight." Emily told him when they reached her door.

"Me too." He agreed, his hands reaching down to hold hers.

She was about to invite him in when he kissed her gently and quickly on the lips and said. "Good night Emily."

He turned away to leave, his hands letting go of hers slightly. "Jason wait." Emily said pulling on the hand that was still holding hers. She pulled him close to her and gently guided his lips to hers once again. If she was going to have a good night kiss it was going to be better than a quick peck before a hasty goodbye.

She laced her hands through his soft hair as his hands rested on her hips, respectively and careful not to travel to far down. She let a content little sigh escape her.

He licked her bottom lip and she opened her mouth slightly. She almost melted into the floor when his tongue briefly battled with hers. She broke the kiss and pulled away from Jason, her bottom lip caught between his lips, leaving her breathless. She rested her forehead on his, his breathless breathing matching hers.

She wished she could invite him in but she knew the moment had passed and that the moment they were in now was far too perfect.

"I love JJ." She smiled looking at him through her lashes as he smiled back at her. "Goodnight Jason." She said quietly, pulling away from him.

He kissed her cheek before he turned around and walked towards the elevator. She watched as he walked down the hall to an elevator that was waiting for him.

"Can't make me take the stairs now, Em." He laughed as the doors closed.

Emily smiled and shook her head, before unlocking her apartment door and going inside.

Her date had been perfect, amazing, dreamy, and every other beautiful word she could think of. She wasn't used to going out on dates but she really wasn't used to being with a perfect gentleman.

She went over to the kitchen and looked at the flowers he had brought her, they were red, purple and a deep pink color roses. She bent down to smell them and spotted a little card she hadn't noticed when he gave them to her.

It said: "To Emily, I haven't seen you yet but I know you're more beautiful than any flowers I could ever pick out but I thought I'd try anyway. – Jason" And on the back it said: "P.S No little birdies told me if you liked roses or not you just remind me of roses. Classy and beautiful."

Emily took out the card and decided to keep it. Even if things didn't work out with him this was probably always going to be the nicest thing she would ever get. She left it next to the flowers on the kitchen island.

Her legs still kind of hurt so she went upstairs to run herself a bath. Once the tub was filled she stepped in the too hot water and relaxed, feeling her muscles loosen.

She was lost in thoughts of Jason. She couldn't wait to go to work and tell everyone about him. Well maybe not Hotch, he probably wouldn't care, but Garcia, Morgan, Rossi, Spencer and JJ- oh god what about Will.

She had completely forgotten about him. If Emily told JJ about her date she was sure to tell Will and Emily really didn't want that to happen. But JJ was sure to ask about the date, she decided to try not to care.

It didn't matter right now. Will wasn't going to find out from her. Emily wouldn't tell him she had had a date with Jason and she definitely wouldn't tell him what an amazing and perfect date it was.

AN: So the date might have been stupid but I like it, I think it's cute. Anyway leave your thoughts and enjoy your weekend.
