"Can I get a round of beers for the table, sweetheart?" Derek asked the bartender. She nodded and went off. Penelope and JJ were talking about Henry, Reid and Rossi were talking about the stock market, and Hotch and Will were talking about something as well. I turned to the entrance of the bar, and saw Rob walk in.
"That him?" Derek asked.
"Yeah," I said quietly. I got up and went to meet him.
"Hey," I said smiling as I reached him. He kissed me. I expected a quick peck but he started to make out.
"Stop," I begged and I pulled away.
"You're gonna get it later," He hissed and turned to see my team, "That must be them," He said looking them all over. "And who is that sexy lady. What I would give to taste that," He murmured.
"That's my friend, JJ and I'm your girlfriend," I hissed. I knew I shouldn't have, but the way he started to talk about JJ pissed me off.
"Hey, listen to me, do not talk to me like that,' He said angrily. "Take me to them and stop being rude," He said.. I rolled my eyes and took him.
"Guys," I said smiling at my friends, "This is my boyfriend, Rob," I introduced him.
"Derek Morgan," Derek said holding out his hand, and shaking Rob's firmly. Rob wouldn't like that Derek was more of man than he was. I knew that. I chuckled in my head, not out loud, that would also piss of Rob.
"This," I said turning to the rest of the group, after Rob and Derek stared each other down for a moment, "Is Aaron Hotchner my boss," I said smiling.
"Hotch, please," Hotch offered and shook Rob's hand, smiling, Rob wasn't smiling however. Why was this going so badly?
"This is Dr. Spencer Reid," I said pointed to Reid, "And Penelope Garcia, she's our tech analyst," I said moving on to Garcia, "Her boyfriend Kevin Lynch," I said continuing around the table, "Jennifer Jareau," I said, "and her husband Will," I added quickly, so JJ wouldn't let him call her JJ. That wouldn't happen. I wouldn't let it. It was bad enough that Hotch had told Rob his nickname, "And David Rossi," I finished, smiling at Rossi. Ever since the death of my friend, Matthew, Rossi and I had become a lot closer than before, and he was more like a father to me than just a colleague.
"Nice to meet you all," Rob said politely, but I knew what he was thinking.
"Beer?" Derek offered Rob one as the waitress came back with a round.
"Sure, thanks," Rob said. I hoped to god he wouldn't get drunk. He usually hit me when he was drunk. Why was I so worried about this? I got a long fine on my own before him. I could leave him whenever I wanted to and for christ's sake, I took down serial killers all day, so why was I so afraid to confront Rob? Because I had a baby in me now? Was that what was making so vulnerable? So afraid?
"So, Rob, what do you do for a living?" JJ asked making polite conversation. He looked right at JJ, in the eyes and responded sweetly, "I'm a contractor." JJ was his type…blonde, tall, pretty. I don't even know why he went for me in the first place, but I knew, from the moment he met me, his eyes reached through me, and found whatever my weakness was, and he played this to his advantage every day. I must have had an afraid look on my face, or something like that, because JJ looked at me and pulled me aside.
"Hey, uh, Emily, I have something in the car for you…uh, do you want to come with me and get it?" JJ asked me.
"Oh, uh, sure," I said confused.
"You can get it when we're leaving, Emily, you don't need to make her go out to the car, now," Rob said rudely.
"No, no, it's fine, I don't mind," JJ said smiling. She took my hand and pulled me out of the bar and into the parking lot. When she was sure we were alone she started talking.
"Are you ok, Emily?" She asked worriedly.
"Yeah, Jayje, I'm fine," I said smiling nervously.
"You don't seem it, and you haven't recently," JJ said.
"Pregnancy hormones?" I suggested.
"Maybe…is something going on with Rob?" She asked me.
"What? No! No," I said firmly. JJ eyed me suspiciously. Then she looked to my jaw, where Morgan had noticed earlier.
"Is that a bruise, Em?" She asked. Dammit. I guess even after I had reapplied the make up, it didn't cover it up.
"What? No," I shook my head, but JJ didn't believe me, "No," I said firmly again.
"Em, I heard Derek mention it earlier. It is a bruise. Don't lie to me and don't deny it. What happened?" She asked. And just as I was about to respond, Rob walked out.
"Emily, there you are! Listen we should be heading out now," He called and walked closer to us.
"Oh, don't go yet! The fun's just getting started," JJ said laughing. I also think she wasn't done talking to me yet.
"No. We have to go," Rob said angrily in JJ's face.
"Rob," I started.
"Enough. Stop. We're leaving. Let's go, Emily," Rob said rudely, and he grabbed my hand and pulled me away.
"Ow, Rob," I hissed, so JJ couldn't hear me.
"Shut up," He whispered back.
"Bye, Jayje, I'll uh, see you Monday," I called.
"Will you be ok until then?" I heard JJ murmur. I knew I wasn't supposed to have heard it, but I did.
