The team had left about halfway through Emily's performance, which JJ was grateful for. When Emily was done, she sat at JJ's table for a little bit before they decided to leave. "Hey, is it okay if we go somewhere before we go our separate ways?" JJ asked Emily.
"You're not gonna kill me, are you?" Emily asked in a joking manner.
"No you dork! I just want one last memory for today." JJ said with a little chuckle.
"Did you know that dork has two meanings? There's the meaning everyone knows, which is silly and whatnot. But it also means whale penis." Emily said, which cause JJ to burst into laughter.
"Why the hell do you know that?" JJ asked.
"I don't know. Someone told me that a while back." Emily said.
"Anyway, let's get to my car and go to the mystery place." JJ said. Emily nodded and followed JJ to her car. Once they were in, JJ drove for about 10 minutes before they arrived at their destination. The entire time JJ was driving, Emily couldn't take her eyes off of her. Emily was so in love with her, and she couldn't believe that JJ was finally hers. Emily looked out the window when the car stopped and realized that they were somewhere in the country.
"Okay now I'm convinced you're about to kill me." Emily said.
"Oh my gosh, Emily," JJ said with a chuckle. After getting out of the car, JJ said,"Follow me." She held out her hand to Emily. Emily grabbed it and interlaced their fingers. JJ led them through a few trees before reaching a little pond. The moon was shining off of the water, and the breeze was creating little ripples in the water.
"I don't think I've seen the stars be this clear." Emily said, looking up at the night sky. JJ looked over to her, and she knew then. She knew she was actually falling in love with Emily. She never thought she ever would, but Emily was so thoughtful and kind and just overall amazing that it was impossible to not fall in love with her. So JJ worked up the courage. She grabbed Emily's other hand and turned her towards her.
"This may be a little fast, and I hope I don't scare you away by saying this. I've known you a long time, and I finally get to say this in a completely different meaning. I love you so much Emily Prentiss." JJ said.
"I love you too, Jennifer Jareau." Emily said which made both of them smile. JJ leaned in slowly, making sure it was okay with Emily before closing the gap between their lips. The kiss was slow and passionate. JJ has heard that kissing a girl was so much different than a guy, and she never believed it. That was until that moment. Kissing Emily was so much different than kissing Will. Will always just did what he wanted to do whereas Emily actually moved in sync with JJ's lips. She didn't rush things like Will did. She wasn't aggressive like he was. She kissed her softly and passionately. Plus, her lips were so soft.
Emily pulled away to get some air. When she did, she had the biggest smile on her face. The kiss just made JJ's feelings for Emily so much more official, and that scared her. She wasn't supposed to actually fall in love with her. "Before we move forward with our relationship, I need to confess something to you." Emily said.
"What's that?" JJ asked.
"Ever since that day when I was 15, I haven't had sex with anyone. I get scared when things move further than a kiss. My last boyfriend broke up with me when I told him that. He wanted to go further, but I quickly shot that down by telling him. And before you ask, my sin-to-win weekend in Atlantic City isn't what everyone thinks it is. Yes, sex usually plays a factor for most people, but not me. I flirt with guys and bet that they don't win in poker or whatever they are playing. They seem to think they will, so they bet all of their cash, and whoever wins the bet gets the money. I always win at least 50,000, which is why I say I win big. I don't know when I will be ready to have sex again. I know it's childish, but-"
"Emily, it's not childish at all. That day was traumatic for you, so I completely understand. I will wait for you for however long you need." JJ said. Emily smiled and kissed JJ once more. Just like their first kiss, both JJ and Emily had butterflies in their stomach. "I wish I could just live in this moment forever." JJ said after pulling away.
"Me too." Emily said. They stayed a little while longer just staring at the sky before JJ took Emily back to the restaurant so she could get her car. "Goodbye Jayje." Emily said, giving JJ a hug.
"Bye Em. I love you." JJ said.Emily smiled and gave JJ a quick kiss.
"I love you too." Emily replied. JJ smiled the entire way home, and so did Emily. When JJ walked through the front door, Will had attacked her with a kiss.
"I've been waiting for you to come home." Will mumbled in JJ's ear. He started kissing down JJ's neck, and JJ knew what was about to happen. She felt terrible for going through with it and having sex with Will, but he was her husband after all.
After Will's 10 minutes-and-done, JJ found herself feeling disgusted with herself. She may not have finished within Will's 10 minutes, but that didn't matter. She felt so disgusted that she had to get up and take a shower. After being in the shower for an hour scrubbing her entire body and even her mouth out, JJ finally felt clean. She dried herself off and looked at herself in the mirror. She didn't recognise herself. This isn't who she is. She decided to call Spencer and see if he would meet her at the diner that was open 24 hours. He agreed to it, so they met up 20 minutes later. "Why am I being dragged out of bed at midnight?" Spencer asked.
"I've done something so messed up that I don't even know what to do. I'm in such a deep hole that I don't know if I can dig myself out." JJ said.
"What did you do?" he asked.
"This stays between us. Will dared me to ask Emily out, and I didn't want to at first because I knew if she found out, then I would lose her forever. He bet 100 that she would say 'yes', but I didn't think she would. So I agreed to do it, and our first date went so well. I learned so much more about her. She's even more amazing than what she was. Then on our last case, I couldn't sleep without her, so we cuddled as we fell asleep the entire case. Now I can't go to sleep without at least hearing her voice. I never expected to fall in love with her, but after everything, I'm so so so in love with her. I asked her to be my girlfriend, I guess yesterday now, and she said 'yes'. But when I get home I end up having sex with Will because we're still married. One thing I left out was that I told her Will and I are getting divorced, which isn't true. After Will and I had sex I felt so disgusting, so I scrubbed myself so much I'm surprised my skin isn't bleeding. But now I don't know what to do because I have Henry to think about, and I'm going to hurt Will or Emily depending on who I choose to stay with." JJ said.
"You're right about it being messed up. I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that you actually followed through with the dare. I mean, if Emily ever found out that your relationship is solely based off of a dare and not because you actually liked her. It'd mess her up pretty badly. But, let me ask you this. Do you love Will?" Spencer asked.
"He's my hus-"
"No. That's not what I asked. Do you love Will?" JJ thought long and hard about that question before coming up with her answer.
"I don't think I ever did love him. I think I just got together with him because he was the easy answer. He liked me, so I gave him a shot. I only stayed because of Henry."
"There's your answer. From what it sounds like, the love you have for Emily seems genuine. I saw how you looked at her when she played at Giovanni's. That was real love in your eyes." Spencer said.
"How did you guys find out about that anyway?" JJ asked.
"Rossi overheard you guys talking." he answered.
"Makes sense." JJ said. Her and Spencer chatted for a little bit longer after ordering themselves milkshakes. JJ made the decision to just go to Emily's place for the night. She went home and wrote Will a letter explaining why she wasn't going to be there when he woke up. She figured they could just talk about everything the next day, but JJ couldn't be in the same house as him. She texted Emily saying that she was on her way over. JJ didn't ask her, but she knew Emily would be fine with it.
When Emily opened the front door, JJ gave her a big hug. "What's this about?" Emily asked.
"I needed your cuddles in order to go to bed." JJ said. That melted Emily's heart, so Emily gave JJ a kiss before letting her in.
"What about Henry?" Emily asked.
"He's with Will." JJ said. She sat her bag down on the couch and guided Emily to her own room. She laid down with Emily following her. They got into their normal sleeping position before falling asleep.
