Chapter 5

After buttoning Emily's pants, they were standing very close together, noses touching, JJ reached for the brunette's right hand, intertwined their fingers, leaned forward and placed a long gentle kiss on Emily's cheek. The blonde leaned back and rested her forehead against Emily's and said:

"Let's go home."

Emily smiled, placing a quick kiss on JJ's cheek.

"Yeah. Let's go home Jennifer. "

Both found their way home. Arriving at Emily's apartment JJ unlocked the door and opened it up giving space so Em could walk in. As soon as she walked in, Sergio came to her direction, started purring and Emily picked him up with her good arm.

"Hi there little guy. How you doing? Did you miss me Serge?" She said hugging the cat.

"Em, I'm gonna put your stuff on your room and maybe we could order some pizza or something?" JJ asked.

"Sure, do you think maybe we could invite uh, Garcia, right? I mean, I don't remember her but it would be nice to meet her again, she is the only one I haven't seen yet. If it's not trouble of course." The brunette said still holding the cat.

"Yes, of course. She is going to be stoked." JJ talked while going to Emily's room. She pulled her phone out of her pocket and called her friend.

"Hey baby"

"Hey Garcia, we just got to Em's place and she wanted me to ask if you'd want to come, we can order a pizza or something…"

"Oh Princess is back? How is she doing? Is her memory back?" The tech woman asked.

"Wow, ok, take it easy. She is back. She is ok. Her memory is not back yet. But it can be back anytime." JJ answered.

"Do you think she would be ok if Morgan showed up with me?" Garcia wondered.

"Well, I think she would like that but let me check." The agent walked out of the room and walked towards Emily who was sitting on the couch petting the cat. "Em, would it be ok if Morgan came too?"

"Yeah super cool." She said not even lifting her head to look at JJ.

"Garcia she said ok, so see you in about an hour?"

"Sure thing honey, see you late babe, love you." Garcia said in a way that no one else could.

"Love you too." JJ said smiling. After she said those words Emily finally looked at her.

"I need to ask you something kind of serious… Could you sit here with me for a second?" Prentiss asked and held JJ's hand pulling her to sit on the sofa next to her.

"Sure Em… What's wrong?" The blonde responded worried sitting down.

"Oh nothing's wrong, it's just that, I spent all this time in the hospital, had surgery and all but, like… My parents didn't call… Do I even have a family?" The injured woman asked looking JJ in the eyes.

"Em… That's complicated…"

"Please Jennifer. I need to know…" Emily said with a look that JJ could never say no while caressing the back of Jennifer's hand with her thumb.

"Ok then… Your dad passed away a couple years ago, you were pretty close, and it really shook you. You and your mom don't talk. Because she said and I quote 'I cannot and I will not have a homosexual daughter'." The blonde explained.

"Oh" Was all Emily could say.

"I'm sorry…" JJ apologized moving so she could be closer to her best friend, and putting her arm around her shoulders.

"S'okay… Do you know if I ever told my dad that I'm gay?" Emily asked, and rested her head on JJ's shoulder.

"You did, you came out to them after you finished college. That actually resulted in your parents' divorce. Your dad said he couldn't stay with her if she disowned you." JJ said running her fingers through Prentiss's hair.

"Seems like he was a nice dude. Did you meet him?" Emily questioned with her eyes closed enjoying the fact that the blonde was caressing her.

"Yeah, we met once, he was in town for your birthday. We had this super cool dinner at Rossi's, pasta, wine, funny stories. He loved you a lot Em." Jennifer said in a small voice and kissed the top of Em's head. She remembered the event and the exact words that Emily's dad said to her when they were left alone because Emily had gone inside to get some more wine. He had said I know you love her, I can see it in your eyes, don't deny it, just take care of her for me, I'm not gonna be around forever.

Nobody talked for a while

" What about you?" Prentiss asked.

"What about me?"

"Your family…"

"Oh… My family lives in Pennsylvania. We get together on some holidays." JJ answered.

"Are you single?" Emily questioned hoping for a 'yes'.

"Yes" JJ's answer made Emily smile.

"Why?" Emily asked and moved her right hand to rest on JJ's left thigh

"What do you mean why?" JJ didn't get the question but she was very aware of Em's hand caressing her thigh.

"You are beautiful, smart, funny… You could have anyone you want. So why are you still single?" The brunette said and the blonde blushed but answered anyway.

"I don't know… Why are you still single?" JJ replied trying to look at Em's face.

"I'm not sure… I think I'm probably just waiting…" Emily responded and looked up to see that JJ was looking at her.

"For what?" JJ asked not breaking eye contact.

"The right moment I guess…" Emily said and looked at JJ's lips.

"When it's the right moment?" JJ asked leaning a little bit forward.

"I'm not sure when it's the right time but I can tell you that I feel like it's very close." The brunette replied closing her eyes and resting her forehead against JJ's. Jennifer proceeded to close her eyes as well. Emily move the hand that once rested on JJ's legs to the blonde's neck, while she did that she could feel Jennifer's breath hitch, the tension was almost too much to handle. When their lips were about to touch, the doorbell rang.

So yeah, this is it for today. Hope yall enjoyed it.
