"What's a Girl to do?" Future One Shots - Emison

Mandatory Overtime 2019

"Babe... I'm outside waiting for you." I say tiredly into my hands-free Bluetooth device in my car. I'm calling her from outside of our condo in the driveway.

"Be right out Em." Ali happily says excited for the night.

It's Friday night and I had promised her a date night. However, I have been working massive mandatory overtime the last four weeks and it's starting to get to me. I've been trying to stay with my commitments but it's getting harder and harder. This week I worked four, fourteen hour days from 7am to 9pm, Monday through Thursday then tonight my day to rest... I worked from 7am to 7pm and Ali's waiting for me. Plus to top it all off I have to work tomorrow from 9am to 6pm and she still wants me to take her out. I'm so tired I don't even have the energy to go freshen up before dinner. Hey at least I didn't just honk the horn and I called her to come out right?

"Hey baby... sorry it took me so long." Ali says as she opens the door then leans over to give me a sweet kiss on the lips.

I can't help but be annoyed because she had me waiting. I'm starving and just beyond fustrated my lunch was at 11:30 this morning. Why couldn't she just make me dinner and be an understanding girlfriend. I try my best to not look annoyed and kiss her back.

"Hey what's wrong?" Ali asks concern trying to look into my eyes to read me.

"Nothing babe... I'm just a little tired." I say looking down, feeling a little down. I just want to eat and go to sleep quite honestly.

"Em baby... we don't have to go to dinner and the movie if you're not up for it. I know you've been working so hard this last month." Ali sweetly says in an understanding tone.

I'm a horrible girlfriend. I just accused her of not being sympathetic and she's being nothing but that. Way to go Em...

"No... It's okay. I promised you already babe. We have reservations and you've been looking forward to this all week." I say trying my best to not look tired and annoyed.

"You are so clueless Emily Fields. Come on get out. Switch me seats." Ali then gets out of the passenger seat and walks over to the driver's seat, eyeing me the whole time. "Come on..." She impatiently says.

"Babe... let's just go." I tell Ali in one more attempt for us to get this show on the road.

"Em. Out. Now." She looks at me with an eyebrow raised ordering me.

"Okay..." I grudgingly get out and walk over to the passenger seat putting my seat belt on.

"Here put this on." Ali says as she reaches in the back seat of my car and hands me my hoodie.

"Babe... I think that's going to make me a little underdressed for where were going." I answer her as if it's obvious.

"Just put it on Em." Ali says as she reaches over to put on her seat belt and start the car.

"Okay you're the boss." I huff and take off my dress jacket while putting on the hoodie as Ali ordered me to. I then lean back into the passenger seat and slightly close my eyes as Ali drives us. I'm just gonna rest my eyes for just a few minutes.

"Where home babe." My girlfriend lightly nudges me awake. She then kisses me sweetly on the lips. "Wake up baby."

"Huh?" I open my eyes and look around confused. "Home? I thought we were going to dinner." I rub the sleep out of my eyes.

"We were till you fell asleep." My girl smiles at me and gently brings her hand to move hair out of my face. "Then I went through the drive through at McDonalds."

"What but you were so excited? You made reservations and everything sweetie." I can't help but lean my face into her hand and close my eyes as she slightly caresses my face while cupping my cheek.
