AN: So I didn't hear from many people last chapter and I'm not going to lie, I was a little thrown off. But whatever it doesn't matter, here's another chapter and I hope everyone enjoys.
Also I might be able to update on Tuesday as it will be during midterm break. But no promises because I have stupid professors who don't seem to care that I have a fan fiction to write. Crazy I know.
Anyway, please leave me something, anything :)
When Emily awoke the next morning, Friday morning, she felt well rested and super satisfied with how her date went with Jason.
Hotch had told the team to come into the office to work on some of their paperwork but he had been very strict and insistent on no one coming in before ten, besides himself of course.
But of course Emily was up early, 8:45, which on a normal weekday would be late so technically she did sleep in.
She made herself some coffee and lounged around on the couch. Her phone buzzed on the kitchen island so she got up and went to check it. It was JJ asking if she was up. Emily replied yes and waited for her phone to ring.
Less than thirty seconds later her cell phone rang loudly in her hand, sometimes her friend was so predictable.
"Hey JJ." She answered.
"How was your date?" JJ asked quickly and Emily could tell she was excited.
"It was good." She answered simply as she picked up her coffee again.
"Good?! That's it?"
"Fine, it was amazing." Emily admitted as she sat back on the couch and put her feet up on the coffee table.
JJ squealed in excitement on the other side of the line and Emily laughed at her friends over exaggerated excitement. "Why are you so happy?"
"You went on an amazing date with a really hot guy and you had fun, what's not to be excited about. You deserve some fun, I'm just happy for you."
"So I heard." Emily said causing them both to laugh.
"So…." JJ said slowly. "How much fun did you have?"
Emily knew what she was talking about but decided to tease JJ a little. "Enough."
"Enough? What the hell does that mean?" JJ huffed in frustration.
"It means I didn't sleep with him." She sighed, still regretting it but knowing that another opportunity would arise eventually.
"And why not? Have you seen him lately?" JJ asked in disbelief.
"Of course I have and I agree with you completely. I wanted to, believe me, but when he walked me up to my apartment the moment wasn't right and then before I knew it, it was gone completely. But no matter, it will happen eventually."
"I suppose, I just really wanted you to get laid." JJ laughed.
"No, you just wanted all the details." Emily joked.
"Well yes, but you really need some stress. I'm just trying to help a friend out." JJ explained.
"I have sex, JJ. I've had it quite a bit recently, actually. The stress I have can't be fixed with sex, believe me I've tried." She defended quickly, immediately regretting opening her mouth.
"Ok I'm sorry." JJ said, but Emily knew that wasn't all she had to say. "So who's the guy?" Emily kept her mouth closed. "Or girl?" JJ said after awhile.
"You are super nosey this morning, young lady." Emily said. "He's just a friend, that's all." Not a lie.
"Ok I'm sorry for probing and I guess we'll leave it there because I know you're not going to tell me his or hers name." JJ trailed off.
"I said he JJ! I haven't slept with a girl since I was in college, you know that." Emily admitted. "I still don't know how you got me to tell you that."
JJ laughed lightly on the other line. "What can I say, drunk Emily talks. A lot."
They both laughed because they knew it was true, especially when Emily was upset or stressed out.
"Whatever. I have to go." Emily lied and of course JJ saw right through it.
"Uh-huh sure. See you in a bit." JJ replied and Emily could almost see the smirk on her face before she hung up the phone.
Emily hung up too and threw her phone on the other side of the couch, she hadn't realized when she was on the phone but she was really comfortable. She finished her coffee and sighed in contentment. If she could stay there forever she would but alas she couldn't.
Emily looked at the clock hanging on the wall, that didn't match anything, and saw that it was almost 9:30am. She went upstairs and got dressed for work. She put on light makeup and fixed her hair so she looked presentable.
She didn't know why she felt the need to look good on these types of days. She knew the team wouldn't be going anywhere or seeing anyone outside of the office and that all of them would most likely have their heads down looking threw paperwork all day but regardless she couldn't bring herself to look anything less then professional. That was probably the high-class politician upbringing that was somehow still in her.
Presentable for paperwork.
She went back downstairs and said an extended goodbye to Sergio before going to leave her apartment, stopping only briefly to look at the flowers on the kitchen island.
She left her apartment with a smile on her face, ready to face the day ahead of her.
It didn't take as long as it would to get to work, morning traffic long gone, so Emily drove to work relaxed and slowly. She was the happiest she had been in a very long time and it had almost everything to do with Jason. He was sweet, funny and made her feel happy, which wasn't always an easy task.
She parked her car in the underground garage and took the elevator up to the BAU. She didn't need a text or a warning that JJ was already there, as soon as Emily opened one of the oversized glass doors she heard the clicking of JJ's heels down the catwalk.
She smiled to herself as she made her way to her desk where she met an excited JJ.
"I don't think I've ever seen you so excited to do paperwork." Emily teased.
"Oh hush, you know why I'm excited. You didn't tell me what you guys did on your date, you just told me what you didn't do." JJ replied calmly, well not normal calm but JJ calm, which wasn't very calm at all.
"Ok just let me get settled and get some coffee and then I'll meet you in your office, ok?" Emily asked.
"Sure, I'll see you in two." JJ said as she retreated back to her office.
From what Emily could see no one else was in the office besides the two of them, Hotch and maybe Rossi. She turned on her computer and then got herself a cup of strong coffee before walking up the catwalk to JJ's office.
She walked in and closed the door behind her and took a seat in one of the chairs in the office.
"Ok tell me everything." JJ said as soon as Emily sat down.
Emily chuckled. "You have to give me a chance to inhale first. You sound like Garcia."
"Oh my god, Garcia should be here. She would be furious if we had this conversation without her." JJ realized before pulling out her phone and texting Garcia.
Almost immediately JJ's phone beeped. "She'll be here in five minutes."
"I had to open my mouth." She sighed before taking a sip of her coffee and all at once craving something stronger. "Got any vodka? I think I'm going to need it to handle the two of you." She said as she leaned back in the chair and stared at the ceiling.
"Red book on the bookshelf." JJ said causally while looking at her computer screen.
Emily's head snapped forward looking at her friend with wide eyes. "Seriously?"
JJ cracked a smile and looked at Emily. "Do I look like Rossi?" Emily laughed, slightly relieved.
A few knocks on the door brought them out of their fits of laugher. Emily stood up and opened the door the door for Garcia to come in.
"You didn't spill the beans yet did you?" Garcia asked as she closed the door.
"No, haven't even touched them yet. We waited for you." Emily smiled.
"Good, I would have been so angry." Garcia replied in a noticeably more calm tone. "Ok, now spill."
Emily proceeded to tell them about her date with Jason. She told them what she wore and where they went. The colors of the flowers he had brought her, the complements he had given her and the goodbye kiss they had shared.
JJ and Garcia were melting more and more with every sweet detail she told them, ooing and aweing constantly. Emily was fine with giving every detail because it almost felt like she was going through it again.
"That was the cutest thing I've ever heard." Garcia exclaimed when Emily finished.
"I second that." JJ added.
"I have to agree, it was the best date I've ever been on. He was the perfect gentleman, almost too perfect." Emily said, more to herself.
"I'm no profiler but it seems like you really like him." Garcia explained, sitting up in the now uncomfortable chair.
"I do, I mean what's not to like. He's tall, sweet, caring, cautious, good looking and at least five years younger than me." Emily listed.
"Seven and a half actually." Garcia interjected, causing JJ and Emily to burst in a fit of laughter.
They continued to laugh and joke around but once the conversation started to drift towards Jason's performance in bed Emily decided to tap out.
"We should get to work so we can get out of here sometime reasonable." Emily said standing up and adjusting her shirt.
"You're no fun." Garcia pouted.
"Don't worry guys, when I sleep with him you'll be the first ones to know." This made Garcia less pouty. "But don't hold your breath, he seems like the kind of guy that doesn't rush into things."
Garcia thought for a second. That wasn't what Emily was usually up for. She wondered if Emily even liked Jason at all or if he was just an excuse to get away from Will, which she knew Emily desperately wanted. "How does that make you feel?" She asked as Emily walked towards the door and opened it.
"Like a lady." Emily said with a small smile before walking out the office, leaving the two blondes to feel the weight of the statement.
JJ just smiled, Garcia knew she didn't understand exactly what Emily meant but that was for her own wellbeing. Garcia on the other hand knew exactly what she was talking about.
Even though it didn't seem like Emily wanted to leave Will, Garcia knew deep down she did. Her mind was so far away from Will it was just her body that betrayed her, that kept going back to him.
Emily was a lady, born and raised to be one. All she needed was a great guy to bring it out of her again and hopefully that great guy was Jason.
"She seems so happy." JJ said, pulling Garcia out of her own head.
"Yeah." Garcia replied, getting up herself.
"And she deserves it." JJ said while she looked back at her computer screen.
"More than anyone I know." Garcia said before leaving the office to return to her own.
