"I'm pretty sure the two of you know why you're here?" Agent Aaron Hotchner asked as he looked first at Emily and then JJ.
"Would this have anything to do with what Garcia might have told you?" Emily asked just in case it was something else, but from Hotch's expression she knew that this was indeed about what she and JJ thought.
"Precisely." He replied and paused for a moment. Both Emily and JJ held their breaths waiting for whatever reprimand they had coming. "I just hope the two of you know what you're doing." He simply stated and looked at them for confirmation. JJ and Emily waited for continuation, but Hotch didn't say anything else.
"What? No 'You know the policy'?" Emily questioned, surprised. "Or 'The bureau doesn't approve of office romance'? Or 'You are going to run your careers to the ground if you continue this'?"
"You really want a lecture that badly?" Hotch asked, a little amused at Emily's suggestions of what he should have told them.
"No, no, no." She protested. "I was just a little surprised that there wasn't one."
"The truth is, I'm not crazy about people in my team dating, I'll give you that." Hotch explained. "But I have known both of you long enough to know that you are damn good at your jobs regardless of the circumstances. So as long as you don't let you relationship interfere with your work, I am ready to reconcile myself to the fact that you are together." He finished and looked at the two female agents, "Are we clear on that?"
"Absolutely!" Emily agreed.
"Yes, sir." JJ chimed in. "Understood."
"Good." Hotch smiled. "You can go back to work now." He looked at them meaningfully.
"Of course." Emily replied and the two women left Hotch's office. Once they were outside, they both breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Wow, that was..." Emily started, but she couldn't really find the words.
"Weird." JJ finished for her and Emily laughed.
"Right? It was so much more scary in my mind." Emily admitted. "I really thought he was going to throw a fit or something. "
"I know." JJ agreed. "I was waiting for 'You either end this or look for a new job.' I'm positively shocked." She said and looked Emily in the eyes. "Not that I mind." She grinned as her hand found Emily's, "It feels good to be able to do that."
"I know." Emily smiled back as she pulled JJ in for a quick kiss. "But you did hear the boss, right? We're supposed to get back to work."
"Yeah, yeah, I heard him." JJ sighed and slipped her hand out from Emily's grip to go to her office. "I'll see you later though?"
"Absolutely." Emily promised as she went her own way.
A few hours later JJ was almost done with her paperwork, but she decided to get one last cup of coffee before she went through last couple of folders on her desk. When she got to the coffee machine, she noticed a not so happy Emily Prentiss banging on the top of it. She couldn't help, but smile.
"You know, it works better when you push the button." JJ chuckled and startled Emily a little bit.
"JJ?" She looked at her surprised. "You're still here?"
"Yeah, I'm almost done though." JJ replied. "But what are you doing here? I thought you went home like an hour ago. "
"That was the plan." Emily sighed. "But my stupid car decided that this was the perfect time to just not start. I just got it like a year ago, stupid thing!" She was apparently getting more and more angry. "So I called a cab, but of course it's just my luck that they can't get me one for at least 20 minutes. So I decided to come here and grab myself one more coffee, but of course the coffee maker is not cooperating either." She covered her face with her hands as she sat down on a chair, "What a day!" she sighed as she rested her head on the table.
"Okay first of all, call the cab company back and tell them you no longer need the cab. If you give me 15 minutes, I'll give you a ride."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I am. Speaking of which, why didn't you come to me right away? You know it's no problem."
"I don't know, I guess I just didn't want to bother you."
"Don't you know by now that you can bother me anytime?" JJ grinned as she made fresh coffee, "Here, take this." She handed Emily the cup. "I wouldn't want you killing our coffee maker in a rage."
"Very funny." Emily chuckled, but gladly accepted the hot beverage, "Thanks."
"I won't be long." JJ promised as she went back to her office.
"Thank you so much." Emily said as JJ parked her car outside of Emily's apartment. "I really appreciate it."
"Anytime." JJ smiled. "So I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Unless you wanna come in?" Emily asked, hope so very clear in her voice. "I could feed you some dinner, so you don't have to cook when you get back to your place."
At first JJ got a little scared at the prospect of being alone with Emily, but she decided that she had been avoiding that for way too long. It was time she just let things happen.
"That actually doesn't sound half bad." JJ accepted the offer.
"Great. Let's go in and I'll see what I have in the fridge."
When they got to the apartment, Emily went into the kitchen to take care of the food and JJ went to the bathroom to freshen up a little bit. When she came out, she heard Emily talking to someone on the phone. She definitely didn't sound happy.
"... Are you kidding me... How am I supposed to get around then? .... Can't you try and pencil me in? ... Thank you very much, but I don't think I will have a very nice evening." She replied angrily as she disconnected the call. "Damn!" She shouted and when she turned around she saw JJ standing in the kitchen entrance.
"What's wrong?" JJ asked, a little bit worried.
"Ahhh, it's my stupid garage!" Emily explained with resignation in her voice. "Apparently they can't take my car before Monday, because God forbid they would have to work on a weekend. I offered to pay more money or get the car over there myself, but no, they can't do anything about it before Monday. It's freakin' Wednesday, what am I supposed to do for the rest of the week? Of course they don't care about that, because, why the hell would they, right? It's not like they are stuck without a car for God knows how many days...."
As JJ was listening to Emily ranting and admiring her beauty even while she was expressing her anger towards the workers of a garage, JJ could barely collect her thoughts and realized that the time has finally come.
She almost ran towards Emily, took her face into her hands and kissed her with such intensity and such passion that Emily Prentiss forgot what her name was, let alone why she was so angry about 20 seconds ago.
The mixture of desperation, desire, lust, passion, affection and possibly love that Emily saw in JJ's eyes almost startled her. As did what JJ breathed out a second later. "Make love to me, Emily."
