CHAPTER 6
When Emily woke up she silenced her buzzing cell phone but noticed a weight on her shoulder. She caught a glimpse of blonde and immediately felt the blush travel through her whole body. She remembered the events of last night but didn't remember how she and JJ ended up in her bed.
Oh god!
Emily panicked nearly jumping out of bed but thought against it afraid to wake the blonde in her bed.
OH GOD!
Emily found they were both very much clothed and got out of bed as silently and slowly as she could as to not wake JJ.
Chris was so dead! Emily swore walking across the hall and went to turn the knob but found it locked. She was about to bang on the door but instead grabbed one of the three landlines that was sat on a table outside the room door and dialed Chris' cell as to not startle JJ or Carrie.
Carrie groaned and hit Chris' shoulder that her head wasn't leaning on.
"What?" Chris groaned tightening her grip on Carrie.
"Phone." Carrie mumbled and Chris pulled the phone out of her pocket and answered.
"What?"
"You are dead."
"It's five in the morning mom, I have practice in four hours, let me sleep." Chris groaned.
"Hang up." Carrie muttered swatting blindly at the phone.
"How did I get in my bed with JJ?"
"Get some more sleep and just enjoy it mom." Chris said before hanging up. Not knowing she would get her own shock three hours later.
Emily climbed back into bed next to JJ and tried to calm her heart and finally got to sleep thirty minutes later.
After moving JJ and Emily Carrie and Chris went upstairs when the movie finished and put on another and they laid on the futon. Sometime during the night they had fallen asleep and Carrie ended up in Chris' arms cuddling into her and Chris was holding her protectively.
Eight came around and both woke up to Chris' alarm clock. Once realization of how they were rushed over them both girls jumped apart but their intertwined legs brought them to the floor since Chris was closer to the edge.
"Sorry." Chris groaned as Carrie got off her.
"It was a shock." Carrie said as Chris nodded.
"Yeah, sorry again."
"Don't apologize, that was the best sleep I've had in a long time." Carrie said as Chris smiled.
"Glad I could help, now I have to get ready." Chris said walking into the en suite bathroom.
When they were both ready Chris grabbed her backpack and duffel bag and left.
Emily was up and getting ready and JJ was shocked and confused when she woke up. She sat up in bed.
"Em?"
"Chris carried us up here last night after we fell asleep." Emily said coming out of her bathroom.
"Oh, ok." Inside JJ was freaking out. She and Emily shared a bed?
"We should get ready for work."
"We aren't taking the bike are we?" Carrie asked as Chris chuckled and shook her head.
"No, I actually have a car." Chris said pulling her keys out of her pocket and hit unlock and opened the trunk of a Jeep Wrangler. "Come on." She said tossing her bags in.
Carrie got into the passenger seat. "Emily got you a bike so who got you this?" Carrie asked.
"Emily's mom; or as I like to call her grandma. Trust me, you get a trust fund and other good stuff being in the Prentiss family and I know you don't want to take the trust fund, but knowing grandma, she already has it for you." Chris said starting the Jeep.
"I don't want to take your family money, I'm already grateful that you guys are giving me a home." Carrie said as Chris pulled out of the parking lot and started driving.
"I didn't want to take the money because my parents left me a lot and Elizabeth still gave me the trust fund and added me to her will." Chris chuckled. "Then again, I spent two years travelling with them and that's when I met that master thief who taught me what she could." Chris smiled.
They got to the meeting and the coach smiled seeing Chris walk in.
"Ok, now we can start."
"Sorry, I'm late coach." Chris said.
"No problem and who is this?" the coach asked looking at Carrie.
"Oh, my sister Carrie, she's moving to our school and wanted to join the team."
"I didn't know you had a sister." One of the players said as Chris shrugged.
"Well, I do now." Chris smiled at Carrie.
"I'm her foster sister." Carrie put in and the occupants gasped.
"Oh." Coach said.
"Its fine, Chris and her mom are great."
"I thought your mom died."
"Tara!" Chris shouted. "Shut up." She said softly.
"Sorry." Tara was dirty blonde with green eyes and when standing she was five foot six.
"So, Carrie, any good?" Coach asked as Carrie shrugged.
"I was junior varsity captain at my old school." Carrie said trying not to brag.
"Well then, you might find a place here yet." Coach smiled as they started going over the next season schedule and plans.
"Ok, let's hit the field before Chris leaves us for band." Coach teased tossing jerseys to the players "Carrie!"
Carrie looked up from Chris' Barnes & Noble Nook. "Yeah?"
"We're a girl down; you're on Chris' team." Coach said as Carrie nodded and put the Nook back into Chris' backpack and took the jersey from Coach as Chris jogged up.
"I got some shorts that should fit." Chris said digging through her duffel bag handing Carrie the shorts and pulled her keys out. "Let's go get you some cleats and pads." Chris said as they jogged to the locker room and Carrie changed while Chris went to the equipment room and got a pair of cleats after getting Carrie's size and got a pair of shin guards out.
"Thanks." Carrie said as she put the pads and cleats on.
"Ok, let's go ladies!" Coach yelled before blowing the whistle.
"Ok, so Tara is on the other team and she is our best goalie, if you get a goal past her its luck or skill." Chris said.
"Have you ever done it?" Carrie asked as Chris nodded.
"Yeah, but that's because she's my best friend and I know her, but she knows me so it wasn't easy. We got Danielle or Danny as our goalie, she's not as good as Tara but she's good." Chris said as they started the game after another whistle from coach.
JJ sat in her office trying to concentrate on the files surrounding her but she could only concentrate on her morning. She had to borrow a shirt from Emily as well as a tooth brush and treated her for coffee as a thank you for sharing the bed. She smiled at the thought of sleeping next to Emily. She was pulled from her thoughts by her door being pushed open by her best friend; Penelope Garcia.
"Hey Garcia."
"Hello sweetie pie!" She beamed. "How was your night?"
"It was ok; I ended up staying at Emily's." JJ answered before she could stop the words.
"What? Spill! I want every detail!"
"We had just gotten back to town and I took a nap then brought take out to Emily's for the four of us and we watched a movie and ended up falling asleep." JJ recounted the events of last night.
"And? I know there is more." Garcia said pointing an accusatory finger.
"We fell asleep on the couch but Chris, thought we'd be uncomfortable and moved us to Emily's bed where we just slept. Nothing more." JJ said as Garcia squealed happily.
"I love my niece." Garcia beamed. "How was the morning?"
"It was fine; we got ready for work and got coffee."
"That's it?"
"Yeah."
"No kissing or revealing of feelings?" Garcia asked shocked.
"Yeah."
"JJ you have been crushing on Ms. Prentiss since she got here. How could you not do anything?" Garcia asked.
"Because, she has too much to handle right now, a relationship wouldn't be good and I know she's gay but I don't think she likes me that way."
"Anyone could see that, well, me and my chocolate Adonis know that, so does Reid and Hotch. How did you not know?" Garcia asked.
"Because I don't go prowling through people's lives."
"I say go for it." Garcia said.
"What if she doesn't like me like that?" JJ asked.
"Jayje, she'd be stupid to reject you, besides, I don't think that'll happen." Garcia said.
"How do you know?"
"Sweetie, I know everything." Garcia said with a pointed look before walking out of the office.
Chris and Carrie walked into the locker room after the practice and hit the showers. They changed and since Carrie's shirt was soaked in sweat Chris gave her a tank top and her letterman.
"Wow." Carrie said looking over the many patches on the letterman.
"Yeah, I stayed busy, Emily was on assignment when my parents died and I was at a party with a few friends." Chris sighed as she picked up her backpack and duffel. "If you don't want to tag a long all day and night, I can drop you off on my way to work." Chris said.
"Nah, I'll be fine, I like tagging along, get to know my new sister." Carrie said stuffing her things into the duffel bag with Chris'. "Why did you introduce me as your sister and not your foster sister?" Carrie asked curious.
"Because I already feel like you're family, don't forget that and if you need to talk, there's me, mom or JJ." Chris reminded as they walked out to the car.
Chris was already wearing her uniform and they shoved the bags into the trunk again and it being Wednesday Chris was working at the music shop.
"Why are you open all night?" Carrie asked as Chris clocked in.
"You'd be surprised how many people need sheet music or a tune up or repair." Chris chuckled waving to her boss.
"You stay here on your own?" Carrie asked as Chris nodded.
"Yeah, I find the peace calming and the plus side Tara's dad owns the place." Chris said sitting behind the register.
"He has no problem with me being here?" Carrie asked as Chris shook her head.
"He trusts me not to bring crooks or bad people in here." Chris said as Tara's dad waved to both of them and left.
"Who else works here?" Carrie asked.
"Tara, on the days I don't, her dad says he doesn't mind giving me a job but he doesn't want us to distract each other." Chris explained. "But most times it's just me except Friday, then me and Tara work together with a few other guys, Devin's sick today so he won't be in and with Halloween coming up people who have sound boards want to make sure they work right." Chris said.
"When did you have the time to learn how to do all this?" Carrie asked as Chris shrugged.
"Whenever my parents were gone or I was bored and helping my uncle fix up cars, I learned on my own pretty much." Chris answered grabbing a remote off the counter next to the register and hit the play button.
Paramore soon filled the shop.
Emily called to check up on them when she got home from work and asked if Carrie was sure she wanted to stay all night with Chris and she said yes since someone had to make sure Chris didn't fall asleep during the night.
An hour later Chris hit pause on the remote and walked over to the piano. "You play any instruments?" Chris asked as Carrie nodded.
"Mostly just the flute." Carrie chuckled as Chris nodded and patted the spot next to her on the piano.
"Well, let's change that." Chris smiled and took Carrie's hand. "Take your right hand here." She placed it down and put her fingers on an individual key. "Your left right here." She placed her left down.
For the next hour Chris was teaching Carrie basic songs like lullabies and nursery rhymes.
"Wake me up in ten minutes huh?" Chris asked as Carrie smiled. She saw how tired Chris was after they finished at the piano.
"Sure."
Thirty minutes later Carrie was shaking Chris awake.
"Hey!" She whispered loudly shaking Chris with more force.
"Huh? What?" Chris mumbled sitting up on the piano benches she set up into a makeshift bed.
"I gave you thirty; now get your lazy butt up." Carrie said nudging her shoulder with her own.
"Thanks." Chris yawned.
"No problem, you look like you needed it." Carrie smiled helping put the piano benches to the right pianos.
"So if tomorrow is a school day why are you taking the night shift?" Carrie asked.
"Because big boss man Bobby knows I'm not returning to school till Monday and its extra hours." Chris said.
"You call him that?" Carrie asked.
"Yeah, it boosts his ego a bit and Tara tells me not to, but hey, it gets me ten cents more an hour." Chris joked. "I'm kidding about the pay."
"Ok, so what do you usually do when you work nights?" Carrie asks.
"Play the instruments, make sure they're tuned and what not, fix things in the back and my favorites are deliveries that have to get verified for the morning delivery." Chris said.
"Sounds busy."
"Not really." Chris said pulling a magazine from under the register and scowled. "Wrong one." She blushed when Carrie caught site of the magazine in her hand.
"Who's porn?"
"Devin's for when we work the night shift together, he reads porn and I read People." Chris says shoving the magazine back into its hiding spot and grabbing a People magazine off the rack in front of the register.
"You have weird friends." Carrie chuckles as Chris nods.
"I guess that's what makes us work as friends." Chris shrugs. "I mean, I have my issues, Tara has hers, Devin and Damian are twins but the exact opposite, Devin likes girls and Damian likes guys, and we get along great." Chris smiles.
"And you being bi?"
"Me being bi just means, Devin and Tara bug me about hot guys and hot girls while Damian bugs me about the same thing Tara bugs me about, except Devin has this twisted thought that I'll give in to his charm and pick a hot girl to have a three sum with him." Chris laughed then began to blush hiding behind the magazine. "And I have no idea why I just told you that."
Carrie made a face but laughed. "No problem, I've heard worse."
"Yeah, but you didn't need to hear that about your foster sister."
"I thought you were my sister?" Carrie asked as Chris smiled.
"You're absolutely right."
The two spent the rest of the night going over the tabloids and making fun of pictures and things in them.
Four came around pretty fast and Bob; Tara's dad relieved them of duty.
"Was yesterday a school day?" Carrie asked as Chris shook her head.
"We have Fall formal coming up and they are using Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to set up, but there is school tomorrow-err-today." Chris corrected.
"Fall Formal?" Carrie asked.
"Yeah, we have it after Halloween but they like to get a jump start, last year's was a disaster because nothing was finished on time and we were setting up while people were dancing and eating." Chris laughed. "Funniest thing all year."
They got into the Jeep and headed home. Carrie fell asleep on the ride home and Chris decided her bags could wait till later and carried Carrie up to the condo and to her room. She tucked her in and headed back down to get her things. That's when she noticed her mother's parking spot was empty. She figured she got called in to work and grabbed her things.
Review please. :-)
