Chapter five: JJ

My alarm clock went off before dawn. I happily took the time to jump in the shower. The scolding hot water burned my skin but it felt good. I washed my body and hair and wrapped myself in a towel.

I went to my closet and pulled out a nirvana tee and some skinny jeans.  I went to the bathroom and put on my mascara and curled my hair. I put my converse and put my phone in my pocket.

I saw Aaron in the living room suit on and ready to go. “Lets go.” I grabbed jack and we dropped him off at Janes' then we drove to the BAU.

Hotch led me to Jjs' office and then left. “Hey.” I waved shyly. “Hi Im Jennifer, but everybody calls Me Jj.” She smiled. “Alex.” I smiled back shaking her hand.

JJ had blonde hair and deep blue eyes. Her office was swamped with stacks of paper and pencils. Her desk was actually neat. A phone, printer, computer, paper, and pens. Classic desk stuff.

“I really appreciate you coming to help me today. As you can see im swamped with paperwork.” She laughed. “Its really no problem.” I smiled. “Today is organization day. So you can help me file!” she said in a fake exicted tone. “Yay.”

As Jj and I started to file we started to ask questions. (Sorry if I dont get these right im just making this up.) “Whats your favorite color?” She asked. “Red.” I told her putting another file away “Whats your favorite food?”

“I would have to say italian. I could never pick a specific food.” She smiled. “Whats your favorite book?”

I sighed “I know this is going to sound cheesy, but its The Fault in Our Stars.” She laughed. “That is cheesy.” “okay that ring on your finger is beautiful. Who is the lucky guy?” I asked marveling at her ring. “His name is Will. He's really sweet. We have a beautiful son, Henry.” She said grabbing a photo of her family off of her desk.

I smiled at it. Will's arm was around JJ and her mouth was slightly agape her eyes closed and her head thrown back. She was laughing. Henry was on Will's back and he was smiling. “This is a beautiful picture.” I said handing in back. “Thanks.”

She put the photo back and glanced at her clock. “You wanna go grab a bite to eat?” JJ asked. My stomach growled at the thought of food. We were having so much fun i forgot i was hungry. “I would love too.”

She linked her arm through mine and we left her office i was Spencer at a desk sipping coffee. There was that feeling again. All of the butterflies flying around rapidly . I hated it.

“Hey Spence,” Called Jj He looked up and at us,  “Wanna come to lunch with us?” He looked kind of nervous but nodded “Sure.”

“Great.” JJ smiled “You can drive.” She threw him the keys and he caught them. Jj looked surprised but didnt say anything.

We ended up going to an italian restaurant and sitting in a booth in the back. Jj and I sat on one side Reid sat on the other. “The spaghetti looks good.” Said JJ. “So does the lasaingia.” Reid said.

The waiter came to take our order and we all got different entrées. “I have to go to the bathroom.” JJ said getting up from her seat. I wanted to yank her back but i didnt. “Alex is a nice fake name.” Spencer said smiling at down at his drink. “Your not supposed to know its fake, so it obviously didnt work correctly.” I said looking at him. “Ive studied your case, Alice.” He said his brown eyes meeting my blue (green) ones.

“Is that so?” I asked raising an eyebrow. “Did you learn anything?” He smirked “Nothing that I didnt know.” I bit my lip “Of course not.” “Your beautiful.” He said shyly. “This isnt normally what i look like. My hair is brown and my eyes are blue.” I told him. “I mean your personality. Its bright despite what happened to you, your glowing.”

My mood lightened and i suddenly felt like a teenager. “Why thank you, Dr. Reid.” I winked. JJ returned as soon as the waiter put our food down. The rest of my day was happy. For the first time in a while I was happy.
