Hope for the Hopeless [Jemily]

Substances

September 9 2007
— JJ's POV
"Sooo officially 2 months with Emily, how's everything going, sugar?" Garcia crisscrossed her legs on my couch, homemade margarita in-hand, as we snuggled in for girl's night. Emily is at Morgan's place for the night— they got together to watch the first Sunday Night Football game of the season— so Pen and I have had my apartment to ourselves since like 6:00.

I kicked off my Birkenstocks and joined her on the couch with a blanket, "Come on, you know it's been amazing so far."

"Not expecting that to change any time soon, are we?"

I took a sip of my drink while shaking my head, "Everything is literally perfect. I have zero complaints."

Garcia's straw gurgled as she sucked down the last of her first drink, "Ahh!" I watched in surprise as she clunked the already empty glass onto my coffee table. She hiccuped and asked, "The sex good?"

I groaned, "Penny, not this again."

She continued with frustration, "Is that seriously still an off-limits conversation topic, Jayje?!"

"Yes, Penelope, you know both of us—it just feels wrong." She looked at me pleadingly. If we're being honest I kinda wanted to finally spill about my sex life with Emily. And it's not like I have any bad things to say. I sighed and gave in, "Hand me the vodka handle first."

She squealed and clapped, "Yayy! Thank God for alcohol!" I took a swig of vodka from the bottle followed by a second.

With boozy confidence I managed, "Okay so the sex is really good."

"I knew it!"

I scoffed, "Please, how could you have possibly known that?"

"Your legs get sore a lot. Whenever you're weebling and wobbling around the bullpen I know Emily really must've been putting in work the night before."

I blushed and pushed her teasingly, "You, bitch, why didn't you tell me! I don't need Derek or Hotch seeing me like that!"

Garcia giggled, "It's really not so bad, I'm just nosy like that... Give me more details, Jaaaay!" I felt the vodka starting to make me a little tipsy and took one more shot for good measure.

"Okay, okay, calm down. First of all, lemme check if Emily's even cool with me talking about this, cause this is gonna get personal." I was sure her appendage would have to come up at some point so I better double check if she's cool with that.
