 I look at my watch, my fingers tapping on the wooden table, the seat in front of me being empty. This has been the third time in two weeks that I had been stood up by a blind date, making me have less hope in finding love. The waiter comes along, notepad in hand as I sigh once more:

"I'm sorry miss, but we are full and a couple needs this table" I nod as I stand up, cheking if I forgot anything my feet leading me to the exit. When I'm out of the place, I lean on the wall, my eyes slightly tearing up, this has been the worst week ever. I take a minute to breath in, shaking my head, thinking that every cloud has a silver lining and mine would just take some time to arrive.

I start walking back to my apartment, it only being 10 minutes away by foot. I rub my shoulders and arms, cursing myself as I forgot to take a jacket with me. I walk slowly, looking up at the stars when I decide to stand by a bus stop, knowing that no bus will come by at this time of night, just to stare at the stars, their shine making me hope that one day, I'll find love. My thoughts are interrupted when I hear a group of men coming close, the feeling of their eyes traling my body but decide to ignore and keep staring at the stars. I feel them getting closer, their bodies not far from mine, the three of them just gawking at me:

"Now what's a pretty girl like you doing alone ?" one of them whispers, approaching me as I slowly go back, my hands up to sort of protect myself

"Nothing, just heading home" I answer as I start walking but they follow me, my steps quickening as they keep up with their comments, thinking that they are flirting with me when in reality they are treating like an object more than anything. While they keep their comments going, I send a quick text without them seeing to the first person I think of, sending them my location at the same time. I walk even faster, even passing my apartment that way they wouldn't know where I live, I just keep walking until I look in front of me, seeing Aaron run up to me? He approaches me and kisses me , his hands on my cheeks, rubbing them to make me understand to play along to this ruse:

"How are you, baby ?" he asks with a small smile, kissing your forehead as you answer when he sees the three men gawking at you both

"Take a picture, it'll last longer" he says, making me laugh while being pressed against his chest,, his arm around my waist as we start walking away

"Thank you for that, Hotch, I ruined the end of your weekend with Jack" I whisper, embarrassed from the whole situation, if I hadn't gone to that stupid date, none of this would have happened 

"Anything for you, Y/N" he says with a sweet smile as we let go, my eyes shifting from the sky ti the sidewalk, hoping that he doesn't analyze me in the process:

"Something else happened, am I wrong ?" he asks, worry etching itself on his soft face

"Nothing, just had a shitty night" I answer with a sniffle, rubbing my nose as I try to keep the tears away. Hotch's hand lands on my arm, his arm wrapping itself around my shoulder as he tries to look at me but the tears slip out, leaving me a mess in front of this sweet man who moved just for me when he should be with his son

"Y/N, what's wrong, what happened ?" he starts questioning me, concern growing on his face

"This has been the third time in two weeks that I have been stood up, I mean is there a problem with me, is that why I can( find love, is it because I'm not pretty or funny and that i'm just plain old me, I mean who would love me ?" I ramble on, Hotch's arms wrapping themselves around my frame, my breath hitching itself when I feel his arms around me, tears running out:

"Only idiots would do that because clearly, they don't know what they're missing out on" he answers as I laugh, wiping my tears away:

"Yeah right" I shrug, shaking my head 

"Let me prouve it to you, how about I take you on a date right now" Hotch replies, his arm taking the shape of a hook, waiting for me to accept his proposition. I sigh, my arm hooking itself around Hotch's :

"Alright, I'll give you a chance" I answer as we start walking down the street.

Let's just say that the next day at the office didn't seem like hell...
