In which Agent Angelle meets Agent Hotchner and they start their illicit affair.
But will they last? A Model from a wealthy family and an FBI unit chief? Are they destined to fall from heaven?
It was the night of the FBI ball and the members of the BAU were highly dressed up.
They all walked from their stretched limousine and walked into the big ballroom which was adorned with american flags and chandeliers.
"You know if they can spend this much on a ball every year shouldn't they up our salaries instead? Everyone hates these things" the voice belonging to Emily Prentiss says quietly only to her boss and unit chief, Aaron Hotchner. "Well if they did that we would have nothing to complain about would we Prentiss" he responded quickly with a slight laugh. "I could still complain about the long and weird work hours" she said rolling her eyes
"Is that not a good sacrifice to make knowing that you're saving many lives agent Prentiss?" The director of the FBI, Nicholas Rhodes said from next to her, "it is great to see you again Emily, how is your mother?"
"She's doing well sir thank you" Emily responded quickly "I think I'm going to get a drink" she said before quickly rishing away from the situation leaving both Aaron and Nicholas laughing.
"Have you seen that stunner over there Prentiss?" Derek Morgan said from next to Emily at the corner of the room pointing to a woman wearing a white ballgown adorned with flowers at the top.. her hair was curled and in a half up-half down do with diamond encrusted flower hair pins pinning it in place

Her whole outfit and persona spoke of money and class- this was definitely not her first ball.
"Shit shit shit Look Em she's coming over here" he said trying to calm his nerves, Emily just stared at him like he was an idiot and also walked over to the same place to get a drink - he quickly followed behind like a little lost puppy.
When they got to the drinks all they could smell was the mystery woman's perfume. It was floral and expensive with a hint of citrus - it was perfect - she was perfect.
"What kind of Champagne is this?" She asked, her sweet French accent gliding gracefully through the air and straight to their ears - it sounded so familiar to Emily.
Before the waiter had time to respond to the French woman Emily connected the dots then gasped "Aurora Angelle? Tori is that you?" The brunette looked up slowly before connecting her eyes with Emily's "em? Oh my goodness how are you?" Her voice was filled with genuine surprise.
"I'm alright- what on earth are you doing here? I thought you would still be in France-" Emily gasped and giggled slightly "-oh this is my colleague, Derek Morgan. Derek Morgan this is Aurora Angelle"
"It is a pleasure to meet you" she said her accent melting his cold exterior "the pleasure is all mine ma'am" his words came out gravelly and gentleman like which also made Emily laugh
"Est-il toujours comme ça ?" [is he always this way] Aurora said after quirking an eyebrow. "Around women? Sadly yes." Emily said "you never replied to my question! What are you doing here?"
"Well I was asked here by Nick on 'official' Interpol business" Aurora said using air quotations "however he has since left me alone to fend for myself" she finished with a small scoff and a glare over her shoulder to where Nicholas stood still talking to Aaron
"Official Interpol business? What does that mean" Derek said with a small look to Emily that said something like 'how do you know people from Interpol?' He of course didn't and couldn't know.
"Oh apparently he wants to introduce me to some hotshot unit chief with a pretentious name." Aurora said softly with a look of disgust "you know I'm going to get this ball rolling. I will see you too soon hopefully" She said before walking off through the ballroom
Around half way across the floor she bumped into a hard chest which made her loose her footing slightly and stumble "I'm so so sorry, did I hurt you? Are you okay?" The voice deep and dark said next to her as he held her waist and helped her regain her balance. "Darling, i am not made of sugar. Don't worry about me" Aurora said with a sweet smile before giving him a slight wink and walking away.
She made her way over to Nicholas who was now busy talking to another FBI agent and thanking them for their service. "And when will you put my service here to good use Nicholas?" She said creeping up behind him.
"Oh Rori I forgot you were here, let me go introduce you to Aaron." He said sweetly before turning them both on their heels and making a beeline Emily and the group of people she was stood with, including the man she had bumped into .
"Excuse me agents" Nicholas spoke nicely "there is somebody I would like you to meet" the agents broke apart a little bit to allow the two of them into the huddle they had formed. "Agent Hotchner, this is Aurora Angelle. She's the FBI's most commended spy and the only agent to shoot a perfect 100 on their first try. I'm going to leave you all to get acquainted" Auroras eyes widened when he left her there and she sank slightly. She was probably the most awkward person on planet earth so the idea of being left alone with a group of FBI agents made her wish that the ground would swallow her up.
"Bonjour!" She said softly - a coping mechanism she had picked up from years of meetings with her father, French made her feel at home - like nothing else mattered
"It's amazing to meet you Aurora" agent hotchner said softly as if he could sense her discomfort "oh please agent Hotchner , when it's not business please just call me Rori" she said almost rambling and fighting for the words to spill out of her mouth "and you can call me Aaron, Rori"
"I have heard a lot about your work" Aaron said walking you further away from the group "your reputation proceeds you"
"Well I don't know wether to take that as a compliment or not Aaron, my work is kind of ... messy" she said playing with a ring on her left ring finger- another coping mechanism. "I would definitely say it's a compliment, you are truly an inspiration and I think that you would be a great asset to my team, if we could have you" his words made her smile "what would k be doing?" She said softly
"Well we work a lot of cases where unsubs need a special type of ... lure for lack of better word. I am asking you to be my lure." His words sent shivers down her spine "lure? Like sexually? So basically what I have been doing at Interpol?"
"Better pay" he slightly whispered "and less travel. I could help find you a really nice apartment" he was basically begging her to join "listen I want you on my team, please think about it" he said handing her a business card "call me when you've made your decision"
She walked back over to the group with him and made conversation with all of them, it was hard but she did it and they all seemed to love her. They all seemed welcoming.
About an hour later, Nicholas told her that he was leaving and therefore so was she. She was walking down the stairs at the front door when a voice stopped her "Angel" he said, it was Aaron "please think about it"
