Derek grinned to his brunette friend when he saw her coming out of the hotel's main elevator and walk into the lobby, her hair curled and up in a ponytail so her black tendrils were swinging behind her head. "Well look who it is."
The ivory woman let her lips curl down into a frown, walking up to the group that apparently had been waiting for her to get to the precinct. "What?"
"You look pretty fancy," the darker man chuckled.
Emily shrugged, looking down to the black skirt and blouse she had thrown on that morning, a small pendant hanging around her neck and gently teasing the swells of her breasts. "I guess."
Derek wiggled his eyebrows at the younger woman as the team walked out into the sunlight. "Anything to do with the date you went on last night?"
The brunette agent's eyes bugged at the words. "I'm s-sorry?" she stuttered, her breath leaving her at the accusation that made her heart leap into her throat. "Date?"
"Don't think that blond birdy you spill everything to doesn't talk to me."
Emily glared at the blond that quickly slipped her way into the front seat of their SUV. "JJ I didn't tell you that I went on a date."
The blue eyed liaison smirked as she stared down to the phone in her hand, typing out a message to send to her husband for the first time that day. "I didn't say it was a date either."
Derek held up his hands in surrender as he jumped into the driver's seat, waiting until Emily buckled herself up in the back before pulling out onto the busy city street. "JJ told me that you didn't get back to the room right away last night, and you told her that you went out to a bar for a drink to loosen up a bit. Then I get a text from Rossi who went to the same bar to try and do what you did, and said he saw you with a familiar tall and dark Boston detective," he grinned, taking a glance into the rearview mirror to see the flushed face of the younger agent. "Ya' put two and two together and you got the conclusion of the sexy Emily Prentiss on a date."
Emily pressed her fingers to between her eyes before shaking her head. "It was not a date. Jane was just showing me to the place because my phone's internet app was not working."
"Jane huh?"
The chocolate eyed woman sighed, glancing up to look into the front seat of the car. "What now?"
JJ felt herself grin as she stared out the window at the annoyed tone of the older woman behind her, and gently shook her head. "Everyone else calls her Rizzoli."
"What makes you so special?" the man in the car laughed.
Emily huffed and sat quietly in the back of the warm SUV, waiting until the were parked in front of the police department before jumping out onto the sidewalk. She walked briskly into the building and followed her boss into the elevator, standing beside him as they waited for the rest of their team to join them in the confined space.
The older brunette stared at the officers in the department's lobby, keeping his eyes off his subordinate at his side. "Good night last night?"
That was it. That was when Emily's entire face turned red, sweat beginning to dampen the back of her neck. What else could go wrong that morning?
"Hold the elevator!"
Emily was quick to set her hand against the closing steel door and pushed it back, her eyes widening as she let the younger woman step into the elevator beside her. "Hey."
Jane looked up from her coffee and grinned, nodding to the beautiful woman. "Hey. Morning." Her dark eyes immediately connected with the sparkling diamond pendant that hung from her friend's neck and her jaw dropped, taking the liberty of picking it up between her fingers to get a closer look at it. "Wow this is beautiful."
The brunette agent's pink lips smiled to the Italian detective standing so close. "Thank you. It's my grandmother's."
Derek entered the elevator, loudly clearing his throat so his partner would notice him.
Emily quickly jumped away from the brunette woman beside her, her eyes immediately staring out into the lobby. "So um, did you find any new leads?"
The Italian detective smirked, taking a sip of her coffee. This was going to be fun.
