She's not a girl who misses much
She's well-acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
The man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime

You arrived at the bar, a relatively lively place that was frequented by Campus Staff and not many students and managed to find a booth large enough to fit you and Penelope's team. It was a large circular table surrounded by a reddish-brown leather sofa that was far more comfortable than it looked. You had convinced Hotch and Emily that it was safe to leave their cars there overnight so you could all drink together and get taxis back home later. Offering to buy the first round of drinks, you made your way to the bar and guessed everybody's drinks orders, a skill you always loved showing off.
The team had already taken their seats: Emily, JJ and Reid sat imbetween Morgan and Hotch seated on the ends, Rossi and Penelope on separate chairs they had pulled over. A gap was left for you imbetween Penelope and Hotch.
Coming back to the table with a tray balanced on your hand waitress-style, you placed the drinks in front of each team member: Morgan had a Jack and Coke; Emily a large glass of red wine; JJ an Espresso Martini; Reid a plain lemonade; Rossi some Gentlemen Jack on the rocks; Hotch some Scotch off the rocks; Penelope a Strawberry Daiquiri; and a Double Baileys with two large ice-cubes for yourself. As you placed the drinks in front of them, the team looked impressed.
'Aren't we supposed to be the profilers?' Emily joked as she picked up her drink and took a large gulp.
Laughing back, you raised your eyebrows slightly asking if you'd got it right. 'So how did I do?' Each team member nodded at you, Hotch keeping his eyes focused on your face as the rest of the team took a sip.
'Seriously though mama how did you do that?' Morgan chuckled as he questioned you.
Shrugging, you smiled back at him with a single eyebrow raised. 'Now wouldn't you like to know.' Grinning back at you he took a sip as the rest of the team laughed, Hotch just smiling enough to show his dimples.
'That's my girl. She's got some kind of superpower.' Penelope laughed as she raised her glass to yours and clinked it in a cheers that the rest of the team quickly joined in on.
'Ooh, let's play never have I ever!' Penelope grinned as she looked across at you, the fruity drink already going to her head. You loved her, but she was one heck of a lightweight.
'What, are we in high school?' JJ laughed as she took another sip.
'Aww come on it'll be fun!' Penelope replied as Morgan lifted his hand to her shoulder and laughed at her. 'Whatever you say baby-girl.'
'Who's going first?' Emily asked as she drank, having already downed half of her large glass. Out of the corner of your eye you saw Rossi hail to a waiter requesting some shots.
'I will. Never have I ever played hooky from work.' JJ laughed as both Emily and Morgan lifted their glasses to their lips and drank sheepishly. Hotch raised his eyebrows at them both, however was clearly unsurprised.
