Conversations (A Hotchniss fanfic!)

Smirks and Skirts...

The next morning after that beautiful kiss, Emily awoke to some sunlight beaming through a gap in the curtains. Stretching and rubbing her eyes, letting out a deep yawn. A smile stretched across her face as she remembered what had happened the previous night, she and Aaron Hotchner had kissed... And it was, as cliche as it sounds, magical.

She got up from her bed and went for a shower. After re entering the bedroom from the steaming bathroom, her raven hair dripping all over her face, she headed for the closet. In her mind she knew that she didn't have to dress to impress anymore, and how did she know that Aaron even wanted her?

However, she wanted to look nice for him. So after looking through almost every item she finally decided on a black midi skirt that accented he figure and a red v-neck jumper. After drying and straightening her hair and sorting her bangs, she grabbed her things and heading out the door for the office.

She wasn't surprised to see that she wasn't the first one there. For as long as she could remember, Hotch was always there, at one point she almost believed that he lived quite literally in his office. Almost everyone was there. The only members of their 'family' missing was Reid and JJ... Coincidence?

She grabbed a mug of coffee and settled at her desk, looking at the mountain of paperwork stacked for her. 'Wow' she thought to herself, 'they really shouldn't have'. She gripped her pen in her hand and opened the first file.

She had to admit, she was concerned that she hasn't seen him all morning. It had been 2 hours since she walked in that day and he hadn't even popped his head out of his office.

After another half an hour, she decided to grab another coffee to keep herself awake... Paperwork really got boring after 3 files!

On her way back to her desk, she spotted him. Staring at her through his blinds. His eyes focused on her and his mouth growing by the second.

She smiled and waved and sat down in her chair once more. Inside she was laughing at his reaction to her etire of choice but she had to remain focused, so the team didn't suspect anything.

A few minutes later, Hotch made himself visible and cleared his throat.

"Prentiss" he announced to the whole room... "Can i see you in my office, it shouldn't take long."

She raised from her seat and started at her team on her way to the staircase giving them the 'I have no idea' look.

Once inside, she shut the door and walked over to where hotch stood. He surprised her by grabbing her waist and pulling her close to his chest.

"Hey there" she smirked at him.

"Hey" he smiled back.. "I haven't stopped thinking about last night, truth be told, I've been wanting that to happen for a long time!"

She smiled and got closer to him, "Thank goodness for that, I was afraid you'd regret it, I've wanted it for so long, hiding feelings for you became part of my life"

He laughed a little and leaned in and gave her a small but pleasurable kiss.

"What are your plans for tonight then, Emily?" He enquired.

"After I finish the mountain of case files, nothing, that I know of. Why do you ask Mr Hotchner?" She asked with a quirked look on her face.

"Well Miss Prentiss, I was hoping we could go to dinner?"

"I'd love to" she responded looking into his dark eyes.

They shared a passionate kiss once more but it was broken by him...

"I said I wouldn't keep you long, you'd best get back out there... Before they think something?" Hotch stated.

"I suppose, they may think your killing me or something" she said with some humour in her voice.

Grabbing him close one more time before she left she was impressed to see that he had closed the blinds... She hadn't noticed on the way in.

"Oh one more thing prentiss.." Hotch said before she reached the door.

"Yeah?"

"You look beautiful today, I like you in skirts" he said shyly as he smiled at her.

She blushed a little before smiling at him and left the office.

Settling down at her desk, she could feel the eyes of her team on her but she didn't have the energy to answer questions so she put her head back in her files.

About 15 minutes later, Hotch opened his blinds again and caught site of emily sitting down again, after going to fetch a glass of water.

He smirked at her and she smiled back and she knew, this was the beginning of something good.
