A/N Okay, Here's another chapter I hope ya'll are enjoying it so far. Sorry it takes so long for me to updated these stories, but I have been pretty busy. I promise the next chapter there will be some Derek and Emily interaction.

"EMILY! EMILY PRENTISS, where are you?" Garcia was running as fast as she could in her high heels. She had been looking for Emily for only about five minutes, but had given up and resorted to yelling.

Emily was in another room pouring coffee when she heard her name being screamed. This startled her and, as a result, she over filled her cup and coffee went everywhere. She ran out to find where the yelling was coming from. "Garcia, please stop yelling and calm down. What's wrong?"

"Well, I was talking to JJ and she said something very interesting."

"She told you!? But she promised!" Emily's face became red and Garcia had never seen Emily so angry.

"Woah, Em chill out. It's what she didn't tell me that's the problem."

Emily relaxed and the red faded. "But, you just said that JJ told you something?"

"Well, she accidentally let slip that you have a problem with a guy."

Emily sighed, "No, I don't really have a problem. I don't know what JJ was thinking. Maybe she got me confused with someone else."

Garcia grinned as she saw Emily let out a huge sigh, which everyone new was her tell. "Really, Emily? I can tell when you lying. It's kind of sad that you think you can try to hide anything from me. I am, after all, all knowing."

"I'll give you the scoop later." Emily gave in, knowing Garcia would find out someway if she didn't just tell her herself.

"Yes, you will because I think we need a ladies night. Now I know it's a little short noticed, but I think I can work some of my magic and-"

"Pen, calm down. You are taking crazy fast." Emily interrupted her ramblings without hesitation, "and I don't care what we do, I'll be there."

Emily had been trying on many different outfits. Not know where they were going made choosing an outfit hard. She knew it was unlike her. JJ and Garcia usually made a fuss about clothing, but something felt different about tonight. She settled on a burgundy shirt with a chunky black sweater on top and dark jeans, with black boots on the bottom.

Emily looked at the clock. She had about another half an hour before Garcia and JJ picked her up. She decided to watch some TV until they got there. As she flipped channels, her mind wandered onto tonight's planned activities. She hoped there was no clubbing or something of the nature. She wanted nothing more than to relax, but still have some fun.

She was lost in her thoughts and didn't even hear the knocking at her door.

"Emily! Emily we know you're in there!" JJ and Garcia's words were jumbled as the both talked and banged on the door.

Emily grabbed her cell phone and purse and opened the door. "Sorry, I guess I was daydreaming. What are we doing tonight?"

"Don't worry. It's just a calm girl's night. No partying or anything. We'll just go get some dinner and go shopping. "Garcia pulled Emily's door shut and they left.

Garcia came back to their table with three steaming lattes. This girl's night so far, had been just what Emily needed. The girls had gone to dinner, and now they were at a cute coffee shop near Washington, DC.

No one had brought up work or relationships with her. They mostly talked about family. Not hers or Garcia's, but JJ's family. Emily was perfectly happy talking about JJ, Will and Henry and she really liked letting JJ be the focus of the conversation. She never liked being the center of attention anyways. In her experience, every time she got attention a secret of hers would slip out and everyone would know.

She made it a goal to keep quiet and not show much emotion towards her co-workers. She loved being with them, and they made her day a little bit better, but she never wanted them to see her upset or find out a weakness and she thought that this could all be avoided if she was not the center of attention.

"Okay, well I'm done with my coffee, and I noticed on our way here that we passed by the outlets. I was thinking that maybe we could stop by a try on some boots or sweaters." JJ said this meekly, like a young child nervous to tell her parents she broke a lamp.

Emily almost felt bad for JJ as she reached over and touched her hand. "Of course we can go shopping, JJ, but why do you sound so nervous?"

JJ left out a loud laugh at Emily's comment. "Emily, I'm nervous because I have been trying to ask you a question, not ask to go shopping."

Garcia had stayed quiet, knowing what JJ was trying to ask. As much as Garcia wanted to know about Emily's mystery man, she noticed Em had been extremely quiet while drinking her coffee.

Subtlety was not Garcia's strong suit, but she couldn't keep herself from blurting out what JJ was trying to say. "JJ wants to know if you want to talk about the big secret that you won't tell me."

Emily froze. She knew that sooner or later this was going to come up, but she thought it was going to be later. "Fine, but Garcia if you want to know the whole story, then you're gonna want to sit down and get another coffee. It could take a while. Sorry JJ, I guess we aren't going shopping."

Emily smiled at her friends knowing that she might feel better talking about this.

"Okay, Garcia, well to start off. I have feelings for Derek Morgan." Emily relaxed as she said this without hesitation. Maybe this wouldn't be so hard after all.
