To Hook A Star. A Jemily Fanfiction

Seven

Emily drank her morning coffee, happy it was Saturday as they had both Saturday and Sundays off. She had the TV on but her thoughts were consumed by something else.

What had happened between her and JJ last night? She was sure it was just her but she felt like something had happened. Maybe it was her imagination, or maybe because she kissed the blonde. Not kissed her, but the gesture still delt intimate. She had done it before, but this felt different. Of course, she was only trying to comfort JJ but a part of her wondered if she was feeling something more. She liked how she felt when she did it... when JJ told her to call her Jennifer. She knew JJ didn't feel what she was feeling though, she just hoped JJ hadn't taken it wrong. Emily berated herself for doing it, JJ was mourning her lost marriage.

Upstairs, JJ was just waking up. The events of the night before played in her head, angering her as she thought about Will. Her anger quickly turned to softness though as she remembered how much Emily had comforted her. How she had stayed with JJ all night when she asked. How she told her she loved her and how JJ said it back. She was just comforting you. JJ told herself. But just comforting or not, JJ was glad Emily was there last night. She hopped out of bed and made her way down the stairs. Clutching her sore hand as she went.

"Hey Em, goodmorning." JJ smiled.

"Hey." Emily said softly. "How you feeling?" She asked with a caring tone. JJ took in a shaky breath before answering, as she made her way over to pour herself some coffee.

"I'm uh... I guess I'm okay. I feel kind of like a huge weight has been lifted to be honest." JJ nodded, she wasn't completely lying. "Still hurts though I guess." JJ shrugged, trying to tell herself it was okay. Emily nodded in understanding. "Oh and uh..." JJ started as her cheeks flushed a light shade of pink. "I just wanted to say thanks for last night... and sorry." JJ said, slightly embarassed.

"Of course, I'm glad I could be there." She told the blonde truthfully.

"Really... are you sure?"

"You're always welcome at therapist Emily's office." Emily joked, trying to bring some light into the morning. JJ laughed as she walked over to join the brunette on the couch.

"Well in that case, you're always welcome at therapist JJ's." She played along. "Anything you wanna do today? Seeing as we have the day off." JJ asked.

"I was thinking of going to the gym, if you wanna join me?" Emily proposed.

"Hmm, sure, think you can beat me in a workout?" JJ teased.

"Oh JJ, is that a request at a competition?" Emily laughed.

"Hmm yes... I say you try to beat me a boxing." JJ egged the brunette on.

"Oh Jesus, you're definetly gonna beat me at that one. I mean...," Emily joked, poking JJ's biceps.

"Yeah I definetly am."

The two women arrived at the gym. Emily spoke to the woman at the front desk.

"Can I have two hour passes please?" She asked the woman in Russian. The woman passed the bracelets over to Emily.

"Hey Em?" JJ said as they were walking to the locker room.

"Yeah Jayje."

"Whats Jennifer in Russian?" JJ said with a smirk.

"I believe its pronounced Dzhennifer." Emily said, pronouncing the blondes name in a perfect Russian accent.

"Shit see why is it so much better in every language except English?" JJ complained with a laugh.
