it should've been you

chapter 3: the bathroom door

!! SMUT WARNING !!

After Spence and I finished investigating the crime scene, we headed back to the police department. We went inside to go talk with the local sheriffs, let them know some things to look out for and warn people of. The press is at it again, waiting outside the station hoping they will get some kind of gossip. Rossi and Hotch come up to us and we start discussing details when Morgan and Emily arrive. I make eye contact with Emily, and she quickly dodges it and looks at Hotch.

"Alright everyone, we have some interviews and discussions we need to have with some people and then after that we can go home for the night. JJ and Emily I need you guys to talk to 2 possible suspects. Reid, go talk with Garcia about some of the victim's internet activity. Morgan and Rossi, I need you guys to come with me and handle the press." Hotch says.

Of course Emily and I got paired up. How are we supposed to interview suspects if we can't even say a word to each other? We enter the first interrogation room, and sit down with the suspect.

"Okay James, so do you want to tell me why you've been purchasing large amounts of duct tape and nails for nail guns in the past month?" I say, breaking the silence.

"I'm a construction worker, of course I am going to be buying that kind of shit." He says with an attitude. This sets Emily off and she sits up and looks him right in the eye.

"That's true James, construction workers do use these items. However unless you are the supplier or head manager of the construction crew, you don't need to be buying as much as you are. We can go talk to your supervisor and see if you've been supplying the crew with nails and duct tape, although I sure hope you aren't using duct tape to build a building."She says with such confidence.

I've always loved how she is not afraid to stand up against men. The suspect shuts his mouth and leans back into the seat, I'm assuming he's going to lawyer up pretty soon. Emily sits back as well, and when she does she places her hand on my thigh again, and then grabs the case file that was sitting on my legs. Fuck, I can't do this. I jump a little bit and then I get up and rush out of the room. I head straight to the bathroom and lean over the sink. What is happening? Get out of your head Jennifer. Just as I'm recollecting my thoughts, Emily walks into the bathroom and comes to stand next to me. Why is she in here?? Why is my heart beating fast?

"Jennifer." She says looking at me, but I'm still staring at the sink. "Look at me."

I look up and my eyes start to stare right at hers. I open my mouth to say something, but for some reason no words come out. Then Emily suddenly holds my face and lifts it ever so slightly up to hers, and she kisses me. The feeling that I felt was so different and incomparable to any other kiss. Why hasn't kissing Will ever felt like this? It felt like there were butterflies not only in my stomach but everywhere in my body. She kisses me again, and the feeling comes back. I kiss her back and she slowly begins to walk me backwards, then pushes me up against the bathroom door. I can't believe this is happening right now.

"Emil-"I break the kiss to say. But she cuts me off and kisses me harder. Then she breaks the kiss and very softly and slowly moves her hand around my neck.

"JJ. Listen, I felt things too; the coffee mug, getting the file, your phone. You're probably confused a bit, and I am too. I do know one thing though, and that is that I want to kiss you again." She says with a giggle.
