Penelope: "Eye contact is a dangerous, dangerous thing. But lovely. God, so lovely." Hedonist Poet.

JJ thanked the pizza delivery guy as she grabbed the boxes from him. She shut the door and set down everything. It was girls' night—this time, hosted by an enthusiastic JJ. Penelope and Emily were both on board with the idea of drinking at JJ's rather than at O'Keefe's.

Emily stopped at the liquor store down the road, making sure to get JJ's favorite white wine and Penelope and her's favorite red. She made her way up to the woman's apartment and knocked on the door.

JJ was on the other side and opened it, smiling as Emily flashed her the two bottles of wine. The blonde woman was holding her hands out. Emily engulfed her in a hug as JJ kicked the door shut.

"You really know the way to my heart," JJ said and pouted as Emily handed it to her.

"Cheap white wine and crunchy Cheetos," Emily said and chuckled. She placed her bag down at the entrance. Her eyes were catching the pizza boxes on the counter. "Oh, and Jennifer Jaraeu, you know the way to mine."

"Chicago deep dish," JJ said and smiled at Emily as she grabbed the bottle opener. Her phone started to ring, and she held it and answered it. "Hello?"

"Hey, JJ," Penelope said over the phone.

"Hey, Pen, what's up. Where are you?" JJ asked as she pulled the cork out of the bottle.

"Um, I'm not coming," Penelope said and tried to hold back the smile in her voice.

"What? Why?" JJ asked and handed Emily a wine glass. The older woman grabbed it and poured it mid-way of JJ's wine. JJ was twisting the bottle opener onto the other bottle's cork.

"Well, I kinda landed myself a date tonight with this guy who works tech on the fifth floor," Penelope said and hung her mouth open to put on her lipstick. "Also, y'know, me being the best friend you could ever ask for, would like to leave you and your lover to it."

"We're not-" JJ was about to say, but Emily brushed upright against her and placed her hand on her hip as she reached for another wine glass. The blonde woman pursed her lips.

"Yeah, okay," Penelope chuckled out. "Have fun!"

"Pen-"

"Everything okay?" Emily asked as she poured herself some wine. JJ shut her eyes.

"Penelope canceled. She said she'd got a date with a tech guy from the fifth floor," JJ said and chuckled. Emily handed her the glass and smiled softly.

"Damn it. I was looking forward to her brownies. It looks like it's just the two of us," Emily said and clinked the two glasses together. "Now, I am starving. And it's your turn for the movie."

"Devil wears Prada," JJ sang out and grabbed two plates for them. Emily grabbed the wine glasses as JJ grabbed the pizza box and plates. The two settled down and were close enough that JJ should have basically been in Emily's lap.

Some time had passed, and the two were halfway with the movie. Emily grabbed her wine and finished the rest of it. "You know, I thank God every day that you and Garcia welcomed me with warm arms. I think I'd rip my hair out if you two were evil like her."
