Instead of going back to the dance floor, I went out outside of the club. The night air cooling my burning cheeks.

I can't believe he would say something like that to me!

I lean against the brick wall, still able to hear the music faintly from inside.

"Everything okay, baby?", I hear Garcia say.

"It's Hotch", I whine. "He's such a fucking jerk. He is the only person in the world that could ruin a night out."

"If it makes you feel any better, I think most people get that vibe from him." I laugh at her antics. "Do you want me to get Reid to take you home?"

"No, I don't want to pull him away from the party. I'm not that drunk, I'll just call a cab." Penelope smiled sadly.

"Okay, be safe, sugar", she rubs my shoulder. She walks back into the club, leaving me alone again.

I debate finding a restaurant to eat at, but decide it's best if I just go home. The cab ride was short, but it was long enough to find myself overthinking.

Was I really attracted to Hotch? Was it my dumb mind desperate enough for a man that it would chose the one I hate the most?
