Accidental Attractions

Chapter six

A whole day and two quarters later, I'm finally discharged. I'm especially relieved that I don't have to have an IV any longer. I see JJ waiting for me in the waiting room, ready to escort me to the SUV. "I've got some good news!" She said with a sneaky smile plastered across her face. "Hotch granted us an extra day here and we get to do whatever we want." I love the face she makes when she gets excited. The crinkles that form when she smiles and laughs are some of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Wait, hold up. Why am I thinking about how pretty she is? She is my best friend, that is all. That has to be all. Right?

"Oooo, we can go get beignets, go to the French quarter. Oh!! And I've always wondered what crawfish tastes like!" JJ exclaimed, her voice becoming pitchier as her excitement increases. "Okay, okay. We do a couple of those things, but first you need to take a chill pill and drink less coffee." I said jokingly. She smile softly. Quickly averting her gaze when I saw her looking at me. "Speaking of coffee. I need some. Like, right now!" I said whatching her face light up at the humor. She grabbed me by the wrist to whisk me away to Cafe de Monde, a locally famous coffee shop that was known for its beignets. Her warm grip was fastened gently around my wrist and I am beginning to feel the butterflies erupt in my abdomen. I could smell her lotion waft past me as she quickly leads me towards the cafe.

The wait time really wasn't bad considering we were able to listen to a man playing his saxophone on the curb next to us. The day was quite enjoyable in all. We had beignets for breakfast then walked through the French quarter and listened to the local musicians and saw some art as well. We also tried pralines and crawfish for the first time, and I was not a let down.

We decided to head back to the hotel at around six and we were going to order room service and watch some movies or something. "I had an amazing time today! It was perfect." JJ said with a very large grin as she walks over to single bed in the room and just plops face first into the mattress. I walk over and do the same right next to her warm body. "Ya I had fun too. Especially when that bald dude fussed you for calling them 'prAylEans' instead of pralines." I said with a chuckle. "Ha, oh my god he was so annoyed!" She said stifling laughs.

We both then went take showers and began to prepare for bed. I took an extra long shower, it being my first one out of the hospital. We climbed into bed and just sat in silence for a while. We had already eaten whilst watching Pocahontas, my favorite Disney movie. It was around eleven and we were both sleepy from the day of walking we had accomplished. "Hey, um-" JJ stumbles. "I wanted to, uh apologize for the kiss at the fair the other night. It was unprofessional and I am sorry." She said while we both lay on our backs looking up at the white ceiling. Our legs brushing up against each other's. Again I could smell her amazing lotions and shampoo, the signature scents that make up Jennifer Jereau. "Honestly-" I hesitated. "I didn't mind. Your actually a pretty good kisser." I said, unsure how she would react to the stupid response to her genuine apology. She chuckled "And your not too bad yourself Agent Prentiss." My stomach did a backflip as the words spilled from her mouth and her fingers grazed mine.

I turned to face her and found that she had been staring at me. My heart was beating so loud I could hear it. Our eyes were locked in a seemingly unending staring contest, when finally I went to say something to break the silence. I had barely opened my mouth when I was interrupted by the contact of her lips on mine. I honestly don't even know how I am feeling right now. Overwhelmed, excited, nervous, all things included in the bundle of emotions clouding my brain. She tasted minty. Her breath was warm on my upper lip. Her tongue crept it's way into my mouth nervously. Our tongues danced around each other's mouths and the kiss began to become deeper and harder. It was a frantic. She then sat up and straddled me. My nerves were skyrocketing and I didn't know what to do. I've never done this with a girl. I've never ever in a million years even fathomed that this could happen. But it was. My coworker was now on top of me,kissing my neck and I was ok with that. I was, yet I wasn't.
