It's Complicated ~ Emily Prentiss

Part 8

I let out a sigh and nodded my head waiting for Emily to continue.

"Look I don't know if I'm ready for the kind of relationship that you want, I've had some let's just say bad experiences and I'm not ready" Emily said glancing down to her lap.

"But I don't want to just end things with you, I just it's complicated" Emily sighed.

"So what do you want to do?" I asked quietly.

"I don't know all I know is that I don't want it to end but I don't want it to progress further if that makes sense?" Emily said.

I let out a huff.

"So what just sex?" I asked slightly annoyed that we were back to the drawing board.

"I- no Y/n it's not just sex alright" She said placing her hand on my side.

"So what is it then?" I asked her.

She paused for a second not knowing what to say.

"I- I don't know. Just know you aren't some hookup ok" She said.

"Then why did you call me one?" I muttered.

"Because I wanted to push you away. I thought that if you hated me I could move on so I wouldn't get hurt. It was selfish and I'm sorry" She apologized.

"Damn right it was selfish" I huffed.

Emily let out a sigh and ran her hands through her hair.

"Can we just move on?" Emily asked.

"As what partners? Friends with benefits?" I asked her.

"Can we just not put labels on anything please?" She asked

I nodded and reached over to squeeze her hand. Emily gave me a tight smile and lay down next to me her face inches from mine.

"Can I uh stay here?" She asked.

"Yeah sure" I said giving her a small smile.

Emily nodded and moved closer to me draping one of her arms over my waist burying her head into my chest.

"I'm sorry I didn't explain all of that to you sooner" She muttered.

"It's ok Em" I said rubbing her back.

I could tell she smiled at the nickname, she nuzzled her head into my chest and closed her eyes, as she listened to my heartbeat. I saw her breathing even oht and I could tell she was asleep, I quickly followed after.

Once I woke up I immediately felt cold, Emily's space was empty and all her clothes were gone. Great.

I let out a sigh and sat up looking around the hotel room until I spotted a small note on the bedside table. I quickly reached over and picked it up.

Y/n sorry I had to leave, had to get changed so we wouldn't raise suspicions. I'm glad we got to talk and maybe one day I'll be ready for you but until then we'll see how this thing goes (:

-Emily

I smiled softly and folded up the note placing it into my pocket. I quickly had a shower washing off the scent of both sex and Emily's perfume before I got changed and met the team down in the lobby.

"How'd you sleep?" Spencer asked as I took a seat next to him.

"Uh good" I replied.

My eyes flicked over to Emily who was seated talking to Hotch as we waited for the rest of the team.

"I saw that" Spencer said.

"Saw what?" I said playing clueless.

"That little glance over to Prentiss" He whispered.

"Ok fine, the issue between is let's just say resolved" I replied back quietly.

"Ah I see" Spencer said raising his brows knowingly.

"Oh shut up" I said kicking him in the shin causing Spencer to laugh.

Morgan came down to the lobby followed by Rossi so now we could head down to the station to work the case.

"Morning Pretty boy" Derek smirked at Spencer as he walked past.

"Hey pretty boy" I mocked to Spencer.

Spencer elbowed me in the side. I chuckled to myself and climbed into the SUV as we drove to the precinct.

When we arrived we were shocked to find that the police had actually done something.

"We got the test results back of who's human remains they were" The sherriff said.

"Who's?" Hotch asked.

"Jarred Arkem, he's a proffeser at UCLA" The sherriff said.

"Is he missing or dead?" JJ asked.

The sheriff shook his head.

"What if he's feeding himself to the victims" Spencer wondered allowed.

"He could also very well be the first victim" I added on.

"We have his home adress here" The sheriff said handing Hotch a file.

"Alright split up half of us head to the University and the rest of us head to the house" Hotch ordered.

The team split up and officerd followed us. Derek drove along with me and Emily in the back and Spencer in the front.

I reached down adjusting the bulletproof vest tightening it around my waist.

"This is possibly the craziest case that I've ever worked on" Derek said tapping his fingers on the steering wheel.

"What about Floyd Ferrel" Spencer asked.

"Oh god don't even bring him up" I groaned.

"God is in all of us, so is Tracey Lambert" Emily said mocking the conversation Floyd had with the priest.

I nudged her in the side and she laughed.

"You weren't the one who ate the chilli" I said placing my hands over my stoumach.

"You ate the chilli?" Emily said in suprising.

I shuddered and gave my head a nod.

"Oh my god" She shouted in suprise before laughing.

"No, no it is not funny" I said pointing my finger at her.

"It is a little" Derek agreed.

"I ate a person how is that funny Derek" I said.

"It's just so unfortunate" Emily said patting my shoulder.
