Chapter 53:
Emily pulled back from their embrace to really take a look at JJ. The blonde's hair was slightly curled, just the way Emily loved it, and she had a pair of new shoes.
"New shoes?"
"Yeah. I was freaking out earlier and Garcia dragged me out shopping." JJ smiled and told Emily about her day while the brunette grabbed JJ's hand and walked her indside the restaurant.
"Good evening ladies." Tim stood right inside the door and smiled politely. "Do you have reservations?" While JJ looked around in the restaurant, Tim made faces to Emily.
"Yes, Prentiss." Emily rolled her eyes and poked her tong out.
"Ah, yes. Right this way ladies." Tim grabbed two menus and led the two of them through the restaurant. He led them to a quiet corner where a single table was set for two. The lights were dimmed and there were candles on the table. Emily pulled out the chair for JJ, before Tim, smirking, pulled out Emily's. He placed the menus in front them and left.
JJ was stunned. The restaurant they were at was a popular one, and for Emily to have gotten not only reservations, but this table, so alone, was amazing.
"Jennifer, you okay?" Emily put down her menu and grabbed JJ's hand. The blonde looked up and smiled at Emily.
"Yeah. It's just really overwhelming. Going shopping with Garcia, the things we bought was really expensive! Then being picked up by a driver, and now this very expensive, fancy restaurant."
"Well, you my dear need to get used to it! Because only the best is almost good enough for my girl." Emily leaned over the table and peeked JJ on the lips.
"Aaaww...! Aren't you two cute!" JJ broke the kiss and looked confused at the man who had showed them their table before.
"TIM! This is your way of being a perfect host? Maybe I should just fire you right now?" JJ didn't know what shocked her more; the fact that her girlfriend knew this man or that she had threatened to fire him.
"Nah, you wouldn't fire me Emmy!" Tim's teasing voice made Emily growl.
"Tim, why do you have to be so annoying?" Emily sighed and turned in her seat, facing the man. "Jennifer, this annoying man over here is Tim Henderson, he is my maitre d'. Tim, this is Jennifer Jareau, my girlfriend and colleague."
"It's very nice to meet you, ms. Jareau. Emily here have been talking about you for years."
"Nice to meet you to Tim, and please call me JJ." JJ smiled.
"Do you ladies want to order anything to drink?"
"So now you're playing host again?" Emily raised her eyebrow, "Tim you know what I want." Tim just nodded and scribbled something down on his block.
"Anything for the owner." He said in a mock whisper, earning a slap on his shoulder from the brunette.
"Jen? You wanna share with me? I promise is a good wine." Emily smiled softly at JJ. "Not that you wouldn't be capable of choosing anything for yourself!" She quickly added.
"No, Emily. I'm sure whatever wine you chose is wonderful." JJ smiled back and squeezed Emily's hand softly. The two of them got lost in each others eyes again and didn't notice that Tim disappeared.
"So, tell me Em, Tim said something about the owner and you kept telling him you would fire him?" JJ knew she earned her some information when her date blushed. The two of them sipped the wine Tim had brought over and JJ had to agree that it was a good wine.
"Well, I kinda own the restaurant." Emily blushed and looked down at the tablecloth.
"You're really full of surprises tonight baby." JJ smiled softly and squeezed Emily's hand again. She secretly wished they had been sitting next to each other instead of opposite sides of the table. Emily looked up, and as if she could read JJ's mind, she moved her chair a little bit around, hinted to JJ to do the same. As soon as they were sitting next to each other, JJ leaned her head on Emily's shoulder and sighed happily.
"You're so amazing, Emily! I can't believe you own a restaurant!"
"Nah.. It's no big deal. My grandfather owned it, and I inherited it when he died." JJ lifted her head and kissed Emily.
"I love you Emily."
Emily looked deep into JJ's sky blue eyes, her own deep brown shining from the love she expressed for the younger blonde. The brunette didn't have to tell her girlfriend what she felt for her, she simply showed it.
"Are you ready to order?" Their moment were interrupted by Tim standing next to the table, grinning.
"Hmm... Yeah, I guess we are." Emily kissed JJ's hair.
The two of them talked some more while they waited on the food. JJ learned a lot about her girlfriend and vice versa, their first date was easy and enjoyable.
When Tim arrived with the food, their conversation stopped while the two of them ate in silence. After a little while Emily shyly held out her fork to JJ, to let her taste some of the food. JJ smiled at the action and pulled the fork into her mouth.
"Mmmm... That was really good babe!" She smiled brightly and the brunette returned the smile. JJ was really happy. Tonight had been a surprise, but a really good one. Emily had always treated her good, but tonight she really felt like a princess. The way Emily did everything to make her happy, made her really happy. She had never been in a relationship where her partner was so giving.
"I love you Emily." JJ looked into Emily's eyes, trying to show her love through her eyes too. "I know I say it all the time, but it's because for the first time in my life I feel like I really mean it. Because I love you so, so much Emily."
