Really sorry about the delay, I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot about this story. It didn't help that I kept going on tumblr or wrote for my other story. Hope you're all still interested I should have another chapter up before next week. Enjoy
In her office, JJ was twirling the pen in her hand while she stared at her desk; all her flies around her were a blur. She was lost in her own thoughts Ciara's words were repeating themselves over and over again "Emily has told me about you and I don't want you messing with her head anymore she deserves better than you.'' She barely registered Garcia coming into her office and sitting in front of her until Garcia grabbed her hand.
"You know you have been here for the last two hours just staring into space, what's on your mind kitten?"
JJ held on tighter to Garcia's hand and told her the whole story from the kiss in the hotel and running away afterwards to Ciara giving out to her that morning, all the time JJ just stared at Garcia's hand she was scared that if she looked into Garcia's concerned eyes that she would breakdown crying and not be able to finish. By the end of the story Garcia was almost in tears but she was also getting angrier by the minute not just because of what this Ciara one said but at JJ for being so stupid.
"So there you have it Garcia I've ruined everything, and now she doesn't want anything to do with me." JJ finished still not able to look Garcia in the eye and still trying to control her tears.
Leaning back in the chair and letting go off JJ's hand which forced the media liaison to look at her, Garcia asked calmly, ''so tell me JJ, why do you think she kissed you back?"
Up until that moment JJ never thought about the fact Emily had taken control of the kiss all she thought about was that she had pretty much jumped Emily, her friend Emily. Before she could think of reply Garcia asked another question.
"Also why didn't you give Emily chance to talk about? It sounds to me like Emily is the one who thinks you are the one who doesn't want anything to do with her, why else would Ciara have said that if Emily wasn't upset." Garcia knew she shouldn't assume anything about Ciara's action but if got JJ to see sense then she would just find out later why Ciara told of JJ.
Now JJ had no idea what to think, if Garcia was right then it wasn't the kiss that ruined everything like she thought but how she reacted over it.
"Look JJ you need to talk to Emily tell her how you feel and find out how she does or you can sit in this office and mope for the rest of the day." Garcia got up to leave only to stop as she heard JJ say "I can't," the tech turned to her best friend and asked her who last thing, "can't or won't?"
With that done Garcia stormed into the bullpen and found the person she needed to talk to, Garcia went to shake the agents hand as she spoke, "Penelope Garcia and I already know who you are but want I don't is why you are speaking on behalf of Emily, her feelings and opinions toward Jenifer Jareau should only come from her own mouth." Although Garcia would never admit it she was feeling a bit hypocritical to be calling Ciara out on what she did but she told herself that her medalling was because she knew her two best friends would be happy together. She was not about to let anyone hurt either one of her friends.
The agent observed the tech before answering while she could see how nervous she was she also saw the fight in her eyes. She stood up so she was eye level with the other women and while this made Garcia seem more nervous but the blonde stood her ground and waited for a reply.
"Look Penelope you're standing up for a friend, you are protecting her and I'm doing the same I care a lot about Emily and I won't let anyone hurt her." As Ciara finished JJ entered the bullpen looking for Garcia when she saw who she was talking she turned to run back to her office. When JJ was almost to the glass doors Morgan called her back in.
"Hey JJ can you come here a minute, it's important." JJ glanced over to Garcia and Ciara who were still talking and started to walk over to Morgan, "ye Derek what it is?"
Derek turned to face JJ so know his back was to Garcia and Ciara, "Two things I needed to ask you , why have you locked yourself in that office all morning and do you have any idea what my baby girl is talking to the Ciara chick for?" Derek asked while nonchalantly sipped his coffee.
JJ was really getting tired of being left speechless by the people around her, she was a media liaison for the FBI, this shouldn't be happening. Then again at least there is not a certain agent around who could leave her mind blank just by smiling at her…oh that smile…wait Derek was looking at me…oh crap he asked me something.
Derek noticed the blank stare on JJ's face, that's she was staring passed him at looking at Garcia and Ciara it seemed she was anyway.
Lucky for JJ Garcia had finished talking and was on her way over to the two agents. "Looks like we are about to find out the answer to my second question," JJ just smiled at Derek, all she could do was pray Garcia didn't make it all worse. Smiling at Garcia Derek greeted her as she approached his desk, "hello sweetness anything you want to share?"
Before Garcia could answer Hotch had walked over to the agents and asked, "JJ could I see you in my office?" JJ nodded and Hotch returned to his office.
Before following Hotch JJ muttered to herself "why is everyone asking questions today," she heard Garcia and Morgan giggle behind her.
JJ walked into Hotch's office to find him standing behind his desk, "sorry to pry you away from the two of them but I need you to bring these files to Emily." Hotch said while holding out a small stack of case files, while most people would question their boss when they used their 'this is an order' tone, most people weren't Jenifer Jareau.
"She is suppose to be on a sick day but you want me to bring work?" while JJ was mad at Hotch for suggesting Emily do work she was also scared to see Emily after everything that happened today.
Hotch looked at JJ and saw she wasn't as angry as she sounded ,'the idea of going to see Emily is making her nervous, brilliant' he thought to himself, "JJ she only agreed to stay home if she could work from home, it's not as much work as she would normally do if she were here. Now will you give those to her." Hotch's tone said it all weather JJ liked it or not she was going to see Emily.
"Yes sir," with that JJ took the files and left his office and as quickly as she could left the bullpen before anyone could ask her anything else. Hotch watched the blonde liaison go and thought 'if this doesn't get her to stop being such a chickenshit nothing will.'
Didn't see that coming from Hotch did you? As always Reviews are welcome and next chapter will be up in a few days.
