Ok so Emily is about to go to Yale and as we know Hotch is doing security detail for her and her family.

It's the autumn of 1991, Emily is 20 and Hotch is 26.

Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty. - Sicilian Proverb.

Hotch was excited to say the least... today was the start of his first assignment in the FBI and he couldn't wait.

He was working security for Ambassador Elizabeth Prentiss and even though it was pretty basic work he was excited.

"Ma'am it's a pleasure to meet you." Aaron said once he met the ambassador in her study.

"Yes Agent Hotchner, it's a pleasure to meet you to." The ambassador said, accepting Aaron's outstretched hand. "You should meet my daughter Emily, she's heading off to Yale today." She added with a proud smile.

Emily Prentiss... where had he heard that name before?

Before he had a chance to rake through his memory Emily walked into the room reading a book.

Oh my god it was her! The burlesque dancer from Georgetown... her mother was an ambassador... now that he hadn't seen coming.

She looked even prettier than she had on that night, she was wearing a long shirt and a pair of skinny jeans with black leather boots... not that he should be thinking of how pretty she looked, he had a fiancée! Though it wasn't wrong to think she looked nice... was it?

"Pleasure to meet you Agent Hotchner." Emily said in what Aaron knew was a fake accent, he'd heard her talk before.

"Nice to meet you to, Ms Prentiss." Aaron said with a smile, he was tempted to say 'nice to meet you again' but he doubted Emily would like to explain to her mother how they'd met the first time.

At the sound of his voice Emily's head snapped up from the books she'd been reading... she knew that voice.

Once she seen his face, and that he was smiling at her she couldn't help but smile back... she'd always hoped they'd meet again.

"Hm... well I better go... I have to finish packing my stuff." She said before turning to leave, smiling at Aaron once more before she did... even if he did have a fiancée, flirting a bit wouldn't hurt.

Aaron watched her leave before turning back around and facing the ambassador who was now telling him all the duties he was expected to carry out while working at the embassy.

It wasn't for another hour that he finally left Ambassador Prentiss's study and began to walk around the large house, secretly hopping to run into Emily before she left for Yale.

It didn't take him long to find her though, he simply followed the sound of her voice to her bedroom, where he found her singing 'like a virgin' and hopping around her room as she packed.

"Mind if I come in?" He asked quietly, not wanting to scare her.

Emily turned around quickly, slightly scared, but once she seen who it was she immediately relaxed and smiled, gesturing for him to come in.

"Hey." She said, as she got back to packing her things, dropping the fake accent she'd had earlier.

"Hey... so your mom's an ambassador huh?" He asked casually as he sat on her bed watching her pack.

"Yup, Ambassador Elizabeth Prentiss is my mother." Emily said, not looking up from her packing.

"Must have been a tough life." Aaron said, noticing the coldness in Emily voice.

"Well it didn't leave much room to make friends, but I managed." Emily said, looking up at him for the first time since he came in. "So you made it into the FBI then." She said with a smile.

"Yea... this is my first assignment actually." Aaron said proudly.

"Oh that's not much fun... assigned to my family... we're not exactly assassination targets... well not since mother was posted in Serbia, but that was before I was born." Emily said with a light tone to her voice.

"Well the FBI isn't like they make it out to be in the movies you know... we're not all high speed gun chases and explosions." Aaron joked.

"Aw darn it Aaron way to burst my bubble." Emily laughed. "So hows... um... Hailey?" Emily said, trying to remember the name of his fiancée.

"She's good, we're getting married in the spring." Aaron said with a guilty smile.

He for some reason felt uncomfortable talking about Hailey in front of Emily, almost like he was cheating on her just by talking about her to Emily... strange he didn't feel that way about other women.

"Oh a spring wedding, I've always wanted a winter one myself but I'd need to get a man first." Emily joked, pushing away the tiny bubble of envy that rose to the surface when she heard they were getting married... what the heck was wrong with her?!

"Yea... I wanted a winter wedding too but Hailey insisted on the spring." Aaron said, trying not to think of a winter wedding... with Emily, I mean he'd only known her two seconds.

There was a moment of acward silence in the room before Aaron spoke again.

"So Yale... what makes you want to go there?" He asked not liking the silence that had filled the room.

"Well they had the course's I wanted and mother didn't really want me going to Georgetown in the first place... she wanted an Ivy League college for me." Emily said with an eye roll.

"What courses are you doing?" Aaron asked again, his mind buzzing with interest for this woman.

"Linguistics, and sociology." She said, as she walked over to her drawer to retrieve some tops.

"Really, because Harvard does them courses as well, and it's a far better college." He said with a smile.

"Ah, so I'm guessing the great Aaron Hotchner attended Harvard." Emily said with a small laugh.

"Of course I did." Aaron said also laughing.

The room again fell to silence, only this time not an acward one, Emily kept packing her clothes and Hotch was watching her intently.

"You know the suitcase can only hold so much." Aaron said with an amused look as Emily finally finished packing and tried to zip up her luggage.

"Well how about instead of standing staring at me, you help me close it." Emily said as she tried with all her mite to zip the case, only managing to get the zip half ways up one side.

"Ok bossy... you hold the sides together and I'll zip." He ordered, moving around her bed to help.

"I'm not bossy." Emily said in a mock hurt tone.

"Sure you're not Emily, sure!" Aaron said sarcastically.

Five minutes later Emily glided down the stairs to the entrance hall where her mother and father were waiting for her, Hotch coming behind her carrying her case... which was so heavy that if he hadn't seen her pack it he'd have sworn it was bricks she had in it.

"Thank you for carrying my bag Agent Hotchner." Emily said, her fake accent now back in place that she was around her family.

"You're welcome Ms Prentiss." He said, following her lead, and dropping her first name like she'd done with his when they were around her family.

"Hurry up Emily dear, there's a car waiting." He mother said before kissing her on the cheek.

"I'll see you soon sweetheart." Her father said before giving her a hug.

"Bye mother, bye dad." She said with a smile before heading towards the doors.

"I'll take your luggage for you." Aaron said, picking up her case and following her.

"I'd appreciate if you didn't tell my mother or father where we first met." Emily said quietly once they were out of earshot.

"I shall take it with me to the grave." Aaron said with a wink as he loaded her case into the trunk of the car.

"Ok well there's no need to be that dramatic, but thanks." Emily said, standing at the door of the car watching him.

"Well I'll see you again maybe." Aaron said once he was done.

"Maybe." Emily said, before giving him a small hug. "Bye Aaron." She said as she got into the car.

"Bye Emily." He said to himself as he watched the car pull away.

So that's chapter two... tell me if you liked it... or not!
