Her body froze and her eyes locked to the woman who had just asked the question. JJ may have been really drunk last night but she did know what she was doing; now her only problem was to explain it.
"Em I …. I … I was drunk" was all the blonde could manage to say she wasn't sure if the feelings would be returned but then again how could Emily had just said all those nice things.
"Oh ok then" Emily replied as she pulled her hand away from the blonde and let her head glance down in sheer disappointment. She slid to the far end of the couch and there was pure silence between the women, which was only broken by a loud crack of thunder followed by a giant down pour, JJ jumped into the air she hated thunderstorms she let out a small whimper.
"It's ok Jayje, you can stay till it stops if you want" Emily spoke without looking at her.
"Thanks" she replied trying to figure out why Em wouldn't look at her, had she did something was Emily mad at her.
Emily had walked to the window to look outside the rain was pounding the windows and the lightning was positively blinding. The streets had already begun to flood this was not going to be a quick storm and now she was trapped in her apartment with the woman she wanted more than anything that she was too embarrassed to look at. She sat back on the couch JJ still hadn't moved she wished she could say something but yelling I love you please hold me just didn't seem right.
"here" Emily said handing JJ the remote "watch something I'm going to take a shower" all the time never making eye contact which in JJ's mind was a good thing because right then a large tear fell down her cheek.
"Emily wait" JJ finally spoke as Emily hit her bedroom door.
She turned and stared at JJ with a look that said now what do you want. JJ took a deep breath losing to fight back more tears.
"Are you that afraid of the storm" she asked trying to lighten up her expression, angry or not this was still her best friend sitting on her couch crying.
JJ shook her head "I'm afraid of losing you" those ice blue eyes glittering and her pale skin shaking.
"what are you talking about I'm right here" she asked the crying blonde was this some hangover thing or was this JJ the real JJ, the scared and loving emotional ,kind hearted person that no one other than the victims and there family's ever gets to see. She moved to sit on the arm of the couch across from the younger Agent and gave her a rather concerned look.
"Please just stay" JJ spoke as she moved her hand to the empty spot on the couch. She didn't really know what else to do but she couldn't let her leave she was afraid that even if she left the room any chance they had would be washed away with the rain which was beginning to get worse. She looked to the window and then to Emily who had grabbed the remote off the table and flipped the news on.
"Storm of the century, all non-essential personal stay inside, do not leave your homes" flashed across the screen this meant that unless they got a call for a major emergency they were both staying put. Emily slid down onto the couch and turned on the DVD player.
"Movie" she asked the blonde who simply nodded her head. Emily just hit play not really knowing what movie was in there but it was a happy surprise when it turned out to be JJ's favorite 'Mean Girls'. Both girls couldn't help but laugh when the title popped up however it did lighten the mood a bit and gave JJ a chance to speak.
"Don't even say it." she shot ice beams out of those lovely blue eyes. "You know it's my favorite and you know I am not a shallow ditsy blonde and much to the augment of spencer I was never a mean girl" she spouted.
"Of course not "they both laughed then they sat for the next half of the movie silently it was getting later in the afternoon now and the sky was growing darker the rain hadn't let up one single bit. But neither woman had even noticed, JJ was to content, her eyes focused on the screen reciting every word and Emily so intent on watching JJ the way her hair fell around her shoulders, the way her lips moved, those soft pink lips that she had kissed last night and that stunning focus the blonde held it was at that moment Emily was so lost watching JJ she hadn't noticed the woman was now watching her. Both burst into laughter they were glad that things seemed normal, after only a few hours ago JJ was crying. They held the stare in each other's eyes wondering who was going to speak but neither knew what to say when there gaze fell back to the TV the movie had ended.
"Aw we missed the best part" JJ whined
Emily gave one of her eye rolls and laughed "I think I had my own Girl to watch" she said placing her hand in the center of the couch. JJ saw her hand there the hand that had comforted her so many times she wanted to hold it now but she knew she had to explain first.
"Em I am truly sorry"
"About what" the other woman asked
"My behavior earlier" she told her
"Whatever are you talking about, you had a nightmare you were scared and you hate storms Jay" Trying to laugh it off.
"I mean your question… the kiss" JJ said holding her head down in shame.
Emily sighed she didn't know what to say, then again she also knew that JJ's voice had that I'm not done tone, it was soft but it was there.
Still not looking up because she did not want to see what the expression that Emily's face would hold she spoke.
"How do I say this, how do I tell you, I, mean its crazy, you can't, you're not, I'm not, the job, the guys our boss" she kept rambling on and on. Emily found this whole thing very cute but decided to put an end to it.
"Jayje" she said firmly placing one hand on the blondes chin forcing eye contact "calm down…. Please"
JJ was silent and she nodded her head and looked into Emily's eyes as one small tear again fell out of those ice blue eyes.
"Don't cry JJ" Emily said as she reached her hand up and placed it on the others cheek using her thumb to brush away the tear.
The hand on her cheek felt warm and soft she didn't want it to leave she moved her hand so it was now on top of Emily's and she whispered.
"I think I love you"
"I know" said the brunette
"No Em "she said moving their hands in-between them and adding the other two " I mean I… am in love with you"
"I know" Emily said again. JJ's eyes became sad once more she was certainly not getting the response she wanted out of the woman.
"well I'm glad you know" the blonde said in her most sarcastic tone as she released hands and got up and walked over to the window she looked up at the almost pitch black sky. Emily was shocked but knew that for even as smart as JJ was sometimes she did miss the obvious. Emily rose to her feet and walked over to the blonde wrapped her arms around the smaller woman's waist, leaned up on her toes and whispered.
"No Jay, I meant …I know I am in love with you" and kissed the woman on the neck.
JJ turned with a smile and walked Emily back to the couch still in each other's arms and pushed her onto it, Emily giggled and JJ leaned onto and kissed her slow and deep their hands interlaced and their breath growing weaker. They had both wanted this for a long time and could feel the energy between them. JJ finally sat up and helped up Emily still holding hands they knew there were no words that seemed good enough to say but smiles.
"I have loved you from the moment I saw you" Emily told her.
"it may have taken me a little longer" she smiled
They both laughed but there laughed was soon interrupted by a large roar of thunder and a crack of lightning and the, oh so familiar sound of a power outage. Neither woman caring they were now sitting in the dark JJ asked the question.
"Where does this leave us" she said.
"Well in the dark for now" Emily laughed
Both girls burst into a laughing fit once more and laid back onto the couch cuddled in each other's arms
