Federal Love

Chapter 4- Coffee Run

My eyes opened to the sun coming through the window. It took a little bit before my eyes adjusted. When they did however I got out of bed and fixed it before doing anything else. After I did that I walked to my bag and chose my clothes for the day. Since there was going to be a plane ride and paper work waiting for me throughout the day I figured that it would be best to dress more comfortable than yesterday. I took out a black v-neck t-shirt, black skinny jeans, along with all of the undergarments and hygiene stuff. I checked to see if I woke Emily and thankfully I didn't. I quietly walked to the bathroom and shut the door behind me. I changed my clothes and looked at myself in the mirror, I thought I looked alright so I walked out of the bathroom with my things. I put away the clothes I slept in and my hygiene products. I pulled out my makeup and put on my normal amount. I put it away when I finished and checked the room for anything of mine that I need to bring with me. I remembered the lemonade from last night in the fridge. I grabbed it and smiled. I popped it open and started to drink it while I checked the hotel room for anything else. When I confirmed that I had everything I sat down on my bed and checked the time. It was just making it's way to 6:30 in the morning. I figured that I should wake up Emily so we could meet down in the lobby. I stood up and walked over to her bed. She was faced away from me so I lightly shook her shoulder.

"Hey, Em. I think you should wake up now." I said in my normal voice. I figured if I whispered it she wouldn't hear me and I know that if I yelled it she would startle. She stirred a little and turned over. I backed up and sat on my bed so I wouldn't seem so creepy. Her eyes fluttered open and she focused on me. "Good morning." I said with a smile. She groaned a response and turned on her back. 

"What time is it?" She asked.

"It's close to 6:30." I said looking at the alarm clock. She sat up in bed and looked at the alarm clock herself. She sighed and got up to get ready. As she was changing I fixed her bed and gathered some of her things and put them in a pile on her bed to help her pack things back up. She exited the bathroom with all of her things and placed them on her bed. She got out her makeup and started doing it. "Hey if you want me to I can pack up your bag." I said from behind her. She looked at me through the mirror and smiled. 

"Please and thank you." She said and then went back to doing her makeup. I packed up her things and reorganized her bag. I zipped it up and set it on her bed. I put on my leather jacket that was in my bag just in case for bad weather and put on my pumps that I wore yesterday. Emily finished getting ready and put away her makeup, she put on her jacket and shoes and we walked out the door with our bags and room keys. We made it down to the lobby and saw Hotch waiting there for everyone else. He saw us when the elevator doors opened and we walked out. We gave him our key cards and we all sat down. 

"So, Evergreen. With this being the first case you worked with us, how did you like it?" He asked looking at me. 

"I enjoyed it a lot. I don't think I'll be leaving anytime soon if that's what you were hoping for sir." I said with a chuckle. He gave me his rare smirk and nodded.

"I forgot to ask this earlier but I'm going to need you to put me in your phone in case I need to contact you." He said. I nodded and pulled out my phone to make the contact. I named it "Mr. Boss Man" and typed in his number which he gave me. I saved it to my phone and looked at Emily. She smiled and took my hand, she wrote her number in pen on the back of my hand and finished when Morgan showed up.

"Oh are we writing our numbers on her hand?" He asked while giving Hotch his and Spencer's room keys. Emily handed him her pen and my hand and he wrote his number on my hand under Emily's. Rossi came up next to Morgan and took the pen and hand when he finished. Rossi wrote his number on my hand under Morgan's and then JJ wrote her's under Rossi's. I looked at my hand and saw everyone's number except for Spencer's. I looked at him and offered the pen. He hesitantly took it and gently grabbed my hand to write it down. He scribbled his number under JJ's and handed the pen back to me. I smiled and gave Emily her pen back. Once everyone was checked out of the hotel we drove to the jet and boarded the small aircraft. Everyone took a seat on the plane and got settled in. I put in my earbuds and played my music while I read my book. I was on the last stretch of the book and it would take me about a little under halfway through the plane ride to finish it. I started where I left off last and it didn't take me much to get me invested again. About thirty minutes passed and I finished the last sentence of the story. I went to flip the page and continue reading but then I realized that the story was finished. I closed the book and paused my music. I looked up from my own world and saw the team talking and laughing with one another. I put away my music and grabbed my book, I stood up and took an empty seat next to the group.
