Unexpected Discoveries (Jemily)

Chapter 12

After that first night together when it was so hard for both of them to keep their hands off each other, they decided that it might be easier for the time being to actually go out and meet in a public place. It wasn't so much a conscious decision as Emily simply suggesting ideas for three of their consecutive dates and JJ gladly accepting them. Neither of them was really ready for what was happening between them when they were alone together, so restaurants and movie theaters seemed like a little bit safer choice for the time being. Of course they wouldn't talk about it just yet, but they both knew that the other one must have been thinking about sex. And they knew and hoped that eventually it would happen, but were a little too scared to venture a guess as to when.

At work they tried really hard to stay professional, especially when the others were around, but every now and then they would steal a secret glance, a touch of hand or a kiss. And sometimes they almost wished someone would figure out what was going on between them to spare them the hassle of eventually coming out to the rest of the team. On some level, they even thought that maybe everybody already knew what was happening, but they wouldn't say anything just to torture them. After all, they were all great profilers, so it was kind of hard to believe that no one had any idea about their secret little affair.

It was around 2pm and JJ was in her office going through some files when she heard a knock on the door and heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, can I come in?" Emily's head popped inside the office.

"Sure, what do you need?"

"Files from the case in DC last week. Do you have them?"

"They should be somewhere around here." JJ said as she started going through some papers on her desk. The case was fresh, so she was sure the files were somewhere on her desk. "There they are!" She exclaimed as she found the right folder and stood up to hand it over to Emily. When she was doing that, Emily couldn't resist the urge to grab JJ's hand and pull her in for a kiss.

"You look so good behind that desk." Emily said in between kisses.

"Why agent Prentiss, this is a work place and some people are working." JJ tried to reprimand her and be serious about it, but she had a hard time coming off as serious when two seconds after she said that she had her tongue shoved down Emily's throat and her hands on the other agent's face. Emily was still holding the folder with her hand that was now on JJ's back and her other hand was behind JJ's head playing with her hair.

They knew they should stop, but it was so extremely difficult to pull away. It became a little easier, though, when they heard a voice coming from the door.

"I knew it!" It was Garcia popping her head inside and Emily and JJ immediately pulled away from each other and straightened their clothes. Although there really was no point, because Garcia's look was telling them that she indeed knew everything. "I thought I was gonna have to work really hard to get it out of you, so thank you very much for making it easy."

The three of them laughed, with Emily and JJ still a little bit embarrassed by the whole situation.

"You do know that this door locks, though, right?" Garcia asked after a moment and burst into laughter.

"I was just getting some files." Emily replied, her cheeks still a little rosy.

"I have gotten my fair share of files from JJ, but it has never involved tongues." Garcia pointed out grinning and both JJ and Emily couldn't help but laugh.

"You don't seem that shocked?" JJ finally asked curious.

"Yeah, well, it's no secret that Emily is gay." Emily turned to Garcia and tried to say something, but Garcia continued. "I know my stuff, honey." She grinned and turned to JJ. "You I haven't quite figured out yet..." Garcia paused for a moment. "Didn't you use to date men?"

"I did." JJ replied, biting her lips. "But that was before Emily showed me that I was clearly wasting my time on the opposite sex."

"So Emily turned you gay?" Garcia inquired, clearly very amused by the whole situation and dying to know the details.

"Do we really have to put a label on it?" JJ asked, not wanting anybody to start analyzing her now.

"I guess we don't." Garcia agreed and after a moment of silence she added. "Damn I knew something was up in the last couple of weeks, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was, because I always assumed JJ was, well, straight. But now it all makes sense - the secret looks, the touches... I can't believe I didn't put two and two together earlier."

"Well now you know." JJ smiled.

"Yes, and I am so happy for you guys. Really." Garcia squealed, "You are so absolutely cute together. Seriously, that is the best news I've heard in a really, really long time." Garcia continued to say with tons of excitement in her voice. And after a moment, she walked up to the two of them and gave them both a hug. "Oh, I'm just so happy." She smiled and headed towards the door and before she left, she turned around to face them once again. "Well, I'll be on my way then. You two carry on." She winked.

"Was there something that you needed?" JJ asked, suddenly remembering that there must have been a reason Garcia was storming into her office at 2pm.

"Oh, right!" Garcia stopped. "Nothing urgent, though. I just wanted to see if you maybe wanted to get lunch or something, because as much as I love my computers, I needed a break." She said and added, "But now I see that you have much more exciting plans for the afternoon than lunch with good ol' me, so I'll just let you guys go back to whatever it is that you were doing before I came in." She left the office, but not before she shared piece of advice with her two friends. "Just be sure to lock the door next time you decide to have a make out session in the middle of the day."

"So that's that." JJ said leaning against the door after Garcia left. "Nice going, Prentiss!" She chuckled.

"Yeah, like it's my fault that you tried to suck my face off, Jareau!" She shot back in between her own laughs. "I guess we don't have to worry about how to tell everyone else." Emily pointed out, knowing that Garcia won't last long without spilling the beans.

"I guess we don't." JJ sighed.

"Are you okay with it?" Emily questioned after a moment.

"With what?"

"With everyone else knowing about us." Emily explained. "Are you sure this is what you want? Because if you don't, we can talk to Garcia and-"

"No." JJ protested. "Let her share the news, we've been hiding it long enough and it's not like we would be able to hide it forever." She smiled gently. "And I'm fine, really." She assured the other agent. "How can you want to hide the fact that you're with the most amazing person in the world?" She asked as she took Emily's hand in hers and after a moment asked, "Are you sure you are okay with everybody knowing about us?"

"Absolutely." She smiled. "At least all the guys will stop hitting on you once they find out you're not swinging that way. You're gonna make dozens of men very disappointed." She grinned.

"Very funny." JJ chuckled and leaned in for another kiss. Emily kissed her back only to pull away after a moment with a very disappointed look on her face.

"As much as I would love to stay here and continue this," she started and sighed, "I do have to get back to work."

"I know." JJ managed to steal one last kiss before Emily turned to leave. "Feel free to drop by if you... need any files, agent Prentiss." She added and made Emily chuckle.

"I most definitely will, agent Jareau." Emily replied and disappeared behind the door. JJ walked up to her desk and sat on her chair. How in the world was she ever going to get work done now?
