A/N: I hope you all can forgive me for the obscenely long update. I'm really sorry everyone who is reading this had to wait so long, but I hope this chapter makes up for it. Please enjoy and review :)
Monday morning rolled around far too quickly for Emily Prentiss. She wasn't looking forward to seeing Aaron after her embarrassing display over the weekend. She hadn't really thought about anything but him and debated with herself on whether or not to call him. In the end she hadn't called and instead she'd spent the weekend in her pajamas watching Golden Girls reruns.
Emily walked into her class room at 7:45 and found Aaron Hotchner already there. He was sitting at the spare desk placed next to hers.
"Hello Aaron. What time did you get here this morning?" Emily placed her bag on the floor under her desk and sat down. Aaron looked up and smiled slightly.
"Seven o'clock Emily. I just had to move some extra stuff from my old class room." That was the last time the spoke directly until after their last joint class at five o'clock. Emily gathered her papers and books quickly and hurried out. Aaron followed her.
"EMILY! EMILY! Wait up!" Aaron ran after her, almost slipping on the leftover ice from the previous week's snowstorm. Emily was reluctant to stop, but she paused and let Aaron catch up.
"Emily, would you like to come with me for a cup of coffee? I think we need to talk." Emily sighed.
"I guess that would be fine." She mumbled under her breath, "I can't embarrass myself in public." Emily and Aaron climbed into their respective cars and Emily followed Aaron to a small café seven blocks from the school campus.
When they reached the café Emily slid into the booth and Aaron slid into the other side. The waitress came and took their coffee orders. The professors were silent until the coffees came.
"I just want-" The two started simultaneously. That broke the ice. Emily laughed and Aaron chuckled.
"I just wanted to apologize for this weekend. I was really out of line and I shouldn't have done that." Emily apologized as Aaron drank his coffee. Aaron set down the mug and waved his hand in the air.
"Don't worry about it. To be honest, I wasn't all that opposed to what was happening. I just think we need to take it slower." Emily grinned at the Behavioral Professor across the table from her.
"Aaron? Would you like to do something?" Emily questioned with a wide grin. Aaron looked wary.
"What sort of something?" he answered as he pulled out his wallet to pay for the coffees. Emily shook her head,
"No I'm not telling you. You can leave your car in my building's lot and I will drive you to the surprise. Do you agree?" They began to walk out to their cars and Aaron agreed. Aaron followed Emily to her apartment building and parked his car and climbed into Emily's passenger seat.
"Alright, where are we going?" Aaron asked as he angled the car's heaters towards his face. Emily grinned wickedly.
"Do you really want to know? I would rather it be a surprise." Aaron groaned.
"Alright, is it close by at least?" Emily nodded the affirmative answer to Aaron's question.
Twenty minutes of small talk later, the two professors pulled up to IcePark, the local ice skating rink. Aaron laughed as he saw the sign.
"Ice skating, really?" Emily laughed at his facial expression.
"Yeah, I used to come here almost every winter with my dad. I always had a good time, so I figured maybe you and I would too." Emily widened her eyes, hoping Aaron would agree to her crazy plan. Rolling his eyes, Aaron unbuckled his seat belt and unlocked his car door.
"Alright, crazy lady, let's go."
