Chapter 29:

"Emily?"

"Yeah, love?" Emily's heart pounded in her chest. She knew it was too early to say those words, but she couldn't help herself and she never wanted JJ to wonder about how she felt for the blonde. She knew it was only she that felt this way, but she hoped that one day JJ would feel the way about her, as she felt about JJ.

"I love you too!" When the words left JJ's lips, Emily felt the tears pricking down her cheeks again. JJ had just told her she loved her too! Unable to form words, Emily pulled JJ close and laid her head between her head and shoulder. She closed her eyes and inhaled the special scent of JJ.

The two of them lay in the bed in silence. They both had a lot to process, neither Emily or JJ thought the other was ready to say those three words out loud.

When JJ heard Emily say those three words and her name after them, she felt her whole body fill with joy. Emily Elizabeth Prentiss loves her! The beautiful, talented funny, intelligent, unbelievably rich Emily Elizabeth Prentiss loves Jennifer Adriana Jareau. JJ wanted to stand on a rooftop and scream it to the whole world. No matter how hard she tried she couldn't wipe the smile off her face. She felt alive and confident, and when the same three words left her own moth, to tell Emily that she loved her too, it was the easiest thing she'd ever had to say. She couldn't hold back a chuckle, and soon she was laughing.

Confused by the blonde's behavior, Emily untangled herself from the embrace and looked at JJ.

"Jay? Why are you laughing?"

"Because I am so, happy! I can't hold it back. I'm sorry!" JJ calmed down a bit and looked sincere into Emily's eyes. Emily's confused face softened into a bright smile. She too were unbelievably happy, and wouldn't trade this for anything in the world. Emily lifted her hand her hand to caress JJ's face and smiled down to her.

"You don't have to apologize. I know exactly how you feel!" Before JJ could reply, her stomach growled and the two of them started to giggle.

"Hei, dette er Emily Prentiss fra Polar suiten. Kan jeg få to posjoner med kjøttboller i brun saus og poteter?" [Hi, this is Emily Prentiss from the Polar suite. Can I have two servings of meatballs with brown sauce and potatoes?]

"Selvfølgelig, frk. Prentiss. Det kommer øyeblikkelig. Er det noe annet du ønsker?" [Of course, ms. Prentiss. Your order will be arriving soon. Is there anything else I can offer you?]

"Nei, det var alt. Takk for hjelpen!" [No, that's all. Thank you for your time.]

Emily hung up the phone and moved back into the bedroom. She heard JJ in the shower, so to make time go by, she found her laptop and checked her e-mails.

"Hello my princess of the north!

You better take good care of our precious little JJ while you're away!

If not...

Boy-genious and chocolate GOD says hi!

Enjoy your two week of, suggah. Looking forward to photos and stories when you return.

Garcia xxx"

When JJ walked out of the bathroom, she found her girlfriend sitting on the bed laughing at her laptop. She removed the towel wrapped around her head and moved to sit next to the brunette.

"What's so funny, Em?"

"Garcia. How was you shower?"

"Refreshing. Did you order food?"

"Yes I did! You're in for a treat. I hope it's okay that I ordered a Norwegian meal? If you don't like it, I'll order something else! I shouldn't have ordered that. I should've ordered pizza or something..."

Emily's rambling was cut off by JJ's lips. Not that the blonde didn't love the way Emily always looked out for her, in any possible way, but she didn't like the lack of confidence her girlfriend had.

"You know what I find weird?" JJ asked when she broke the kiss. Being so close to each other, JJ felt more Emily's answer, that heard it.

"You're so caring Emily, and I love that you always look out for me and take care of me, but you can decide things too, and it's okay. So what if I don't like the food? I won't die!" JJ smiled and leaned forward and captured the brunette's lips once more. Both women's eyes closed. The feeling of Emily's lips against her own, was the best feeling in the world. JJ moved her hand to stroke Emily's hair. When Emily's tongue hesitantly moved into her mouth, she pulled Emily tighter and moaned into the kiss. Both women's hands moved to the hem of the others shirt, playing with the bare skin underneath the shirt. JJ felt her stomach flutter when Emily touched her, if her kisses were addicting, the touching was soon going to be a new addiction.

*Knock-knock*

"Room service!"

"Are you kidding me!" Emily groaned when the knock startled her and JJ's kiss. She kissed JJ once more, a short peek on her lips, before grabbing her wallet and moved to open the door.

When Emily left the room, JJ let herself fall back onto the bed.

This is really happening! Emily is here with me! My dreams are coming true because of her! She brought me to Norway and she loves me. Me! She can have anyone in this whole wide world, and she wants me!

As the realization hit JJ, she felt tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Hey JJ, food's here!" Emily stopped when she saw what greeted her. On the bed the blonde lay, tears pouring down her cheeks. Emily quickly moved further into the room.

"JJ? Are you okay?" She spoke softly while she moved closer to the blonde. She wanted to take her in her arms, but she also didn't want to scare her. When the blonde didn't respond, Emily moved till she was standing next to the bed.

"Sweetie? What's wrong?" Emily sat down and slowly moved her hand out to touch JJ. When Emily's hand reached JJ's, the blonde snapped out of her trance. She sat up and looked at Emily.

"Jay, are you okay?" Emily asked, worried.

"It's just too much Emily!"
