Chapter 4
It was just after midnight when they finally left the bar. They all had to be up early the next morning to go to work so they couldn't stay too late.
"I hope to see you all at Emily's as soon as you have a free day. We'll probably need help to move her stuff," Doug said happily as they crossed the parking lot.
"Count us in," Morgan said. "And we need to have a game's night soon, just us guys."
"And gossip about me?" Emily asked with a knowing smirk.
"You know us too well, princess," Morgan said.
Emily giggled, yes giggled, and snuggled closer into the arm Doug was holding around her to keep her from the cold.
"Okay, bye you guys," JJ said as she turned to walk to her car.
The others said their goodbyes too as each of them got into their own vehicle. Emily drove their car since she had been the one who drank the least. Tonight they had decided to spend the night at his house so she started the drive to the south side of the city.
"So..." Emily started, biting her lip nervously. "What did you think?"
"I like them. They definitely lived up to what you've told me about them," Doug said, taking her hand and kissing her knuckles. "You can let go of your lip now. You know how crazy that drives me."
Emily rolled her eyes at her boyfriend and let go off her lip, swiping her tongue over it. The night had gone over expectation. No big disagreements or hostilities. Just the way Emily wanted it.
"I'm glad you had fun," Emily smiled at him. "You even put up a man's date with Derek."
Doug chuckled. "Yes, I did enjoy myself. I think we have a lot in common."
"Games, beer, girls..." Emily guessed.
"Girl," Doug corrected. "I only have my eyes set on you, beautiful."
"Cheesy much?" Emily said, teasingly, slapping away his hand that was making its way up her thigh.
Doug put his hand over his heart and pretended to be hurt by her actions.
With a wide smile, Emily pulled into the driveway in front of the house Emily would soon live in. She jumped out of the car first, followed by Doug and together they walked inside. They didn't bother to turn the lights on as they walked up the stairs to the master bedroom. His house was a lot bigger than her apartment. It was a perfect place to raise a family in if they'd ever decide to have kids. Emily was aware that her biological clock was ticking away, but it was way to soon to mention something to Doug. She wasn't even sure he'd want kids.
Doug left her on the bed and went into the bathroom to get ready. Emily stood up and started to change into her tank top and shorts while waiting for him to let her take her turn.
She heard him flush and the water running and seconds later he came out, wearing only a pair of loose sitting sweat pants and exposing his perfectly toned chest.
Emily tapped his chest on the way into the bathroom and didn't care about locking the door behind her.
When she came out again Doug was already under the covers, waiting for Emily to come and join him. Crawling into bed, Doug put an arm around her and pulled her closer.
"Sleep tight, babe," he whispered and kissed her temple.
"Mm you too. I love you."
"I love you too," Doug said, watching her close her eyes, slowly.
He would wait until he could hear her light snoring, until he knew she was asleep, before leaving the bed and hitting the streets like every other night.
Their free day came after the next long case and the team gathered at Emily's place to start the moving. They had a smaller truck waiting outside for the furniture she wanted to bring and for all the boxes with personal things Doug had been kind enough to pack together while they were gone. He had even labeled each box so they would find what they were looking for. The guys were the ones carrying everything downstairs while the girls spent the time in Emily's closet to pack all her clothes, and throw away the clothes she didn't want anymore. Emily only felt a little nervous about taking this step. She had seen plenty of times that when couples move in together they immediately start to fight and she really didn't want to become one of them.
Emily folded the last piece of clothing with a sigh.
"You're all set, Em," JJ said excitedly.
"I guess so," Emily said looking around the bedroom.
It was still furnished for the people who would rent her apartment, but with all her stuff packed up in boxes it looked empty.
"Are you sure you're ready?" Garcia asked.
"No, I'm not sure, but I wanna do this," Emily said, standing up and picking up a box to take downstairs.
Seeing Emily take the lead, the two other ladies followed Emily, each one carrying their own box.
Downstairs the apartment looked just as empty. An armchair, the TV, the stereo and a bookcase were gone, along with all the pictures on the walls and everything else decorating the house. The men were sitting on the couch waiting for the girls.
"You're all done?" Doug asked.
"Yes, there are some boxes upstairs that we could need some help with if we wanna get out of here soon," Emily said, continuing to the front door.
The men all left the couch and walked upstairs to Emily's bedroom. Boxes were lining the walls and each of them grabbed one and started their way out again.
"Are all these clothes?" Rossi asked astonished.
"Most of if, but I think there's also shoes, some books, handbags and some pictures.
She does have a lot of clothes though," Doug said with a faint smile as they walked down the stairs, passing the women as they were ready to grab another box.
"I still can't believe he's so yummy," Garcia said when they entered the bedroom. "You really got lucky there, Em."
"Lucky? I don't think it has anything to do with luck," Emily said. "This is all skills."
Emily winked at them and lifted up another box, much heavier than the last one she carried. Garcia's mouth hung open and she had to shake herself out of it before picking up another one up. On the way down they saw the men again, holding the door open for them.
"There's only two boxes left," JJ, who was the last one to exit, told them and immediately Doug and Morgan started up the stairs to grab the last stuff.
Emily walked inside again and looked around her apartment. This was really it. For God knows how many years she had lived alone and now for the first time ever, if you didn't count Doyle, she was moving in with another man. She had lost all faith in this, thinking that she would just have to spend the rest of her life alone with Sergio, but now that was changing. She was taking the first step to a very serious relationship and she was dying to know how it all would progress.
"These were the last boxes," Doug announced as he walked downstairs. "We can finally go now."
Emily smiled at him. "Then let's go."
