I See you, Y/N. (Emily Prentiss X Reader)

-5- the Darkness in the Corner

Emily apologized several times, because she had to leave like that and assured me, that she would get in touch as soon as she had the chance.

I tried not to seem disappointed so she wouldn't feel guilty.
On the way to the BAU, she dropped me off in front of my apartment and quickly handed me a piece of paper before driving away.

I didn't want to go back to my apartment, but walking around outside alone didn't really feel safe either.

Back in my apartment, I did my security check, closed the curtains again and then laid down on my bed and stared at the ceiling.

I felt the dark thoughts lurking in the corner of my mind, just waiting for a chance to attack me and take my breath away.

I pull Emily's note out of my pocket to distract myself.

She wrote her number down, together with a little Message.

Call me anytime, sweetheart.
See you soon, Emily <3

I can't help it, everything about this little message is just so cute.
I clutch the message to my chest and continue to stare at the ceiling, this time with a big grin on my face.

What would have happened if her phone hadn't rang?
Was it just a dream?
What would a beautiful woman like Emily want from me?
The men and women were definitely waiting in line for her...

After a few hours of pondering, fatigue overcomes me and I fall asleep, Emily's message still clutched to my chest.

A while later I awake startled and try to shake off the bad dream that still had me firmly under control.

I didn't quite succeed and tried to concentrate on something else, when I notice the note from Emily, which I'm still holding close to me.

I gather all my courage and write her a message.

Hey Emily,
Now you have my number in case something happens.
Please take care of yourself!
Y/N <3

Without thinking about it again, I press send, then put the phone next to me on the bed, fall onto my back and bury my face in my hands.

God, I hope she doesn't find this embarrassing.

I start to ponder and notice the bad thoughts creeping up on me again.

The Darkness is really persistent tonight.

My cell phone rings and pulls me out of the whirlwind of thoughts.

It's a call from Emily.
I feel my heart pounding in my throat as I answer the call.

"Hey sweetheart, thanks for your message. How are you?"

"G..Good and how are you?"

"I'm freezing. It's pretty cold out here. It looks like we'll have to stay overnight, the case will keep us busy for a while."

"Oh...I hope you at least have a nice hotel to rest in?"

I'm trying to hide the fact that I'm disappointed. I have no idea what I expected, it's not like Emily and I had a date. But I already missed her presence.

"We're in a small guesthouse. We have to share rooms. JJ, Tara and I are sharing one. So it's going to be a girls' night."

She laughs, and I can't help but smile.
