Bigger Secret

Reservations

My first case was a success and I had the chance to prove to everyone that I was actually useful. That, I was grateful for. On the other hand, I was a little put off by how touchy Emily and JJ were getting. Sure, they were best friends, but they were also exes. I wasn't sure whether I should bring it up or not. Emily and I didn't have very much alone time since the Franklin case and the team was brought into another one immediately after. Reid pretty much figured it all out on his own. It was really impressive, but with his mind, I'm sure everyone else was used to it. My first week at the BAU had gone perfectly. I found my people. 

I walked into work Monday morning expecting to join in on a fun team convo but was instead met with the sight of an empty office. 

Wow... Day off and no one told me.

I thought I would get some work done anyways since it was nice and quiet with only a few other agents around. I got a text from the Unit Chief right when I sat my bags down.

----- Aaron Hotchner -----

Hotchner: Hey. Just realized I didn't inform you of the long weekend. Section Chief Strauss and I have been focusing on new recruits lately, but I'm sure we will have a case soon.

You: Oh, no worries. Thanks and good luck with recruitment!

Hotchner: Great. Now go have some fun while you still can.

You: Thank you, sir.

I had just pulled out my computer when my phone buzzed again. This time,  I couldn't help but smile.

----- Emily Prentiss -----

Emily: I'm taking you out. 7 pm tonight. Be ready!

----------

Excitement filled my body. A real date. Not just hooking in a steam room, or watching tv with room service. A real date.

Ok. OK! Don't sound too excited. Be cool.

----------

You: Ok... See you then ;)

Emily: Can't wait.

I shoved my stuff into my bag and started back towards the elevators. There was no wasting time when getting ready to see Emily Prentiss. I had plenty of time, but knowing myself, it would take all day to pick out an outfit. 

I drove home, thinking of what I had in my closet that would be appropriate for such a date. When I finally got home, I threw my bags down and made myself a quick drink. I needed to calm down a little. 

Glass in hand, I went to my bedroom and started to sift through my clothes. 

I need it to be fancy but not too over the top. Elegant, but also fun and flirty. 

I pulled out dress after dress and top after top, throwing them all on my bed. I tried them all on, one by one judging each of them way too closely. 

Starting with a sparkly silver dress, I decided it was a little too slutty with its plunging neckline and ass-length hem.

Let's save this for a... different... occasion.
