The team couldn't be happier to be back in Quantico. As the plane landed, Gideon who was awake and couldn't stop staring at Emily spoke to Hotch.
They were whispering and the rest of the team couldn't hear them. Then Gideon walked over to JJ and asked her if there were any new cases on the horizon and if she heard from the bureau chief.
She said they had the potential to be free for a couple of days and the chief was in agreement.
Gideon then spoke up, "Well I know this case was a bit hard for all of us, and Hotch and I have decided that you all deserve a break. Although you might be called at a moments notice, Hotch and I have had the bureau chief ok two days of leave for the entire team."
Hotch added, "Go home get some rest and decompress."
Morgan couldn't wait to get home and get a good night's sleep; he was first off the plane before the rest of the team even had their bags in their hands.
JJ stood and thanked Hotch and Gideon. She looked at Emily and said "I need to go back to the office to finish up some paperwork and then I am off to the SPA tomorrow. Emily would you want to join me for a girls day out?
Emily who had such a sad look on her face turned to JJ and said "I will call you if I ever get out of bed." JJ laughed and said "I understand." She turned to the team and said "Except for Em I don't want to hear from any of you for two days." She too left after saying good night/good morning.
Reid was still groggy with sleep, "I'm off to bed, goodnight guys."
Hotch was on the phone with Haley, told her he would be home in a half hour.
Gideon was intently watching Emily as everyone was saying their goodbyes and for the life of him he couldn't figure out why she looked so sad.
Hotch was gathering his things and so was she. Gideon was hoping Hotch would leave. He wanted in the worst way to be alone with her.
The three of them departed together and headed for their cars. Gideon waited until Hotch was out of eyesight and called across the parking lot, "Emily, is everything ok? As soon as I said we had two days off your whole facial expression changed."
She stopped just as she was loading her bag into the back of her car, "I um … (she paused trying to gather her thoughts…she wasn't sure how much she was ready to admit) well I was sad. I mean I am not sad that we have two days off, I am sad that I won't see you for two days."
Just as she said that she could feel her cheeks get red. "Girl why did you just say that to him…well he did kiss you," She thought.
He walked right up to her she was pinned between her car and him. Her pulse was racing and her palms were sweaty. He looked deep into her eyes and said, "Well, we have two days off from work. Who says we won't see each other." She couldn't speak…she wanted him right there and then.
He placed his hands on her car locking her into his personal space and said, "You, angel have a dinner date with one of the BAU's top chefs tonight at 7:00 pm. don't be late!"
He bent down and kissed her, not a sweet kiss, a hungry passionate kiss that made her knees weak. She wrapped her arms around his neck kissing with as much passion as he was showing her. When they finally broke away they were breathless.
All she could do was look at him, wanting more. He too felt that same way. It was taking all of his self control not to continue right in the parking lot of the BAU.
He leaned in and placed a small delicate kiss on her lips. Her eyes were closed, he whispered in her ear, "See you at 7." His warm breath in her ear sent chills up her spine.
He walked to his car; she was still frozen against hers. He looked at her calling out "Don't forget the whipped cream," as he winked at her and got in his car.
He looked in his rear view mirror as he was stopped at a red light and he had this stupid grin on his face. He was a bit tired, nothing a few hours of sleep couldn't fix. He then had to plan the perfect meal and the perfect night for his perfect girl.
It took her a few minutes to process just what took place. Her brain had turned to mush from his kiss. "Emily do you know what you are getting yourself into? One kiss and he has you begging for more." She laughed to herself.
She got in her car and drove home. She walked in the door, and crashed on her bed. A few hours of sleep then I can think about what I am going to wear. "OMG, Jason Gideon is making me dinner." Her realization of what really occurred just hit her like a ton of bricks.
She jumped out of bed and scampered about digging through her closet as her exhaustion finally hit. "Ok, a few hours of sleep then you have to go get your hair and nails done and find something to knock his socks off." She really couldn't believe what she was thinking.
"To hell with consequences, kissing him was so right!" She made her mind up in that moment to hell with her job which should could lose, or her mom who was surely to disapprove due to their age difference, or the team for that matter whatever they would think. She wanted him more than she wanted anything in her life, and she was going to let him know that tonight.
