I think I love you

9)

I stood anxiously outside of the bar contemplating when I should enter.

whether I was early, or if it was late.

or if I was on time.

what if its super awkward?

what if they don't like me?

what if only half of them is there already and it's super awkward?

what if they absolutely hate me?

what if they think I'm dumb? that I'm not worthy because they're in the fucking FBI?

what if the-

"oh!... hey you're y/n, right?" I turned my head to see a brunette stood, smiling gently in the doorway.

"hi hello, yes I'm y/n" I nodded.

"nice to meet you, I'm Emily" she still had that smile on her face as she reached out her hand to shake mine.

I reciprocated and shook her hand back.

"oh yes, Emily! of course, Lucy has told me a lot about you. It's lovely to meet you" I nodded.

"all bad I hope. you gonna come in?" she wondered.

"yeah, I'm just.. I'm just a bit nervous" I chuckled pathetically.

"awh no need, we're all like one big family here, you'll fit right in" she grinned, grabbing my hand and leading me into the bar.

She led me through the dance floor and through the seats of singles and couples before we reached a booth where I noticed Lucy sat with 4 other people.

"hey baby!" Lucy exclaimed, noticing I was there. She stood up from her seat to stand by my side. "everyone, this is y/n, the lovely girl I've been telling everyone about!"

They all murmured their hellos and waves.

"y/n. This is Agent Derek Morgan" she gestured to one of two only males at the table, I'll admit he is very handsome and that smile on his face tells me that he's definitely popular with the ladies.

"this is Agent Penelope Garcia" she then gestured to the other blonde, who was noticeably dressed very colourfully and even had a pair of blue glasses rested on her nose.

I could tell from just her smile and her style that she was just the sweetest person I'd ever meet.

"you know JJ and Emily I presume" she chuckled gesturing to the two women across the table.

"and this is Doctor Spencer Reid" she pointed to the boy who sat in the corner of the booth.

He clearly wasn't as much of an outgoing party animal as the rest of the group was but he looked sweet and quiet. He looked like he'd rather be at home reading than be here, I could tell by the cardigan and tie he was wearing.

"it's.. so great to meet you all" I practically gushed over the group of beautiful people, before turning my attention back to the quiet boy. "so what makes you a Doctor and the others Agents?"

"well pretty boy here has an eidetic memory, 3 PhDs and an IQ of 187 so that might have something to do with it" The boy I knew as Derek chuckled gently.

"no shit, really?" my mouth was agape at this point.

"yes shit" the boy spoke, a small but amusing smile on his face.

"I didn't know a person could be that smart. I mean, I could tell you were smart just by looking at you but not that smart woah" I laughed lightly, taking a seat next to my girlfriend. "I mean, you're all super smart I mean, you're in the FBI but woah"

"3 minutes and she's already gushing over Reid, that's a new record" Garcia snickered.

"hey, leave the girl alone. There aren't many geniuses in Manhattan, I don't blame her" Emily smiled, defending me without a thought.

"JJ mentioned that you've always wanted to be in the FBI" Derek stated.

"yeah! it's always been a dream of mine but.. haven't got the brains or the stamina unfortunately. but I really goddamn respect you guys who can just go out and kick ass and fight crime, its super cool and admirable" I nodded.

"awh I like her already" Garcia grinned, placing her hand on mine for a moment.

"yeah she's great" Lucy nodded, grabbing that same hand and edging it away from Garcia's touch.

"you know, since Lucy mentioned you guys, I've kind of been dying to meet you all and so far, you've completely exceeded my expectations" I admitted.

"awwhhh god why didn't you tell us she was so damn sweet, Lucy?" Emily pouted.

"yeah, you might be having some competition soon" Derek smirked causing me to chuckle to myself.

"ohh I'm sorry, chocolate thunder but I don't think your her type" Garcia teased, gesturing to mine and Lucy's hands.

"I mean, I do like guys too so who knows?" I joked, joining in on the banter.

"oh fuck she's got game" Emily looked almost impressed.

"she's just joking" Lucy grinned cheesily.

"so let's get to know you! uh just curiosity, what did you do Thursday?" Emily leaned my way from across the table.

"don't pay attention to her, she asks random questions to people in order to get to know them" Penelope nodded.

"uh I just stayed home, and listened to some music" I stated.

"any specific music? any type of songs?" she batted her eyelashes softly.

I noticed JJ shoot her a glare from across the table but I didn't think anything of it.

"uh maybe some Bowie, beatles, I like to listen to game and movie soundtracks to concentrate sometimes" I shrugged.

"oh that's really cool, any specific Bowie songs?" she wondered.

"so drinks anyone?" JJ wondered, standing up from her seat, changing the subject almost purposely.

We all responded and cheered, completely moving on from the slightly strange conversation we had just had.

I think I'm gonna have a good night tonight.
