A Missed Opportunity

the bathtub

With a wine glass in her hand JJ was picking out an outfit. She wanted to be comfy, but something told her to look cute. She felt the need to dress up for Emily so she put on some black skinny jeans and a white button up shirt. She walked back to her kitchen to pour more wine as a knock on the door made her jump, spilling on her white shirt.

JJ opened the door in her wine stained shirt to Emily. "Wine. Boring" she said as she held up her bottle of vodka. JJ rolled her eyes as she turned around and kept trying to dab at the wine stain. "It's cute that you think that's gonna work." Emily said. She froze for a second hoping JJ didn't notice what she said. As JJ dabbed at the stain she smiled and had to bite her tongue to stop from giggling.

Emily went to sit on the couch as JJ followed behind her. "That's not working. You gonna have to change." Emily said in between sips of Vodka. "Yeah." JJ replied. "But I like this shirt." She complained. After a while of blotting the stain she gave up and started unbuttoning her shirt. She stood up by the time her shirt was off and went to change. Emily sat there for a while processing what she just saw. She knew she shouldn't but she started to develop a crush. Interrupting her thought was Penelope at the door.

The trio sat down on JJ's couch taking shots and playing truth or dare. They were all drunk and wouldn't remember anything in the morning. "Garcia" JJ's tried saying. "Garcia?" Emily poked her face trying to get a reaction. "Pen, Pen, Pen" she said as she continued to poke her face. JJ slapped her arm away. "She's gone leave her be. Now truth or dare Prentiss?" Emily looked at her. "Dare." Jj thought for a moment trying to come up with a good one. "Kiss me." Emily laughed as she replied "huh." JJ repeated what she had said. After a couple seconds Emily told the blonde "Pucker up Jennifer." She scooted closer to the blonde and kissed her. JJ could taste the vodka on Emilys breath as she grabbed the back of her head. Emily pulled away and took another shot. As she downed the shot she quickly got up and ran to the bathroom. JJ's eyes followed her as she walked away. She covered her and let out a silent scream. She was surprised all it took was some vodka to get the courage to kiss her.

With Garcia passed out on the living room floor JJ crawled her way to the bathroom. She found Emily laying in the bathtub with a small  vomit stain on her shirt. "Haha" JJ laughed. "Now who has a stain" Emily groaned as she looked at the stain. "At least it wasn't on the floor." JJ sat with her back on the bath and groaned. "Tomorrow's gonna suck." Emily was still looking at the stain. "Man. This was new." "Throw it in the sink to get cleaned" JJ said with her head in her hands. She saw something fly over her shoulder. She turned around and Emily had taken off her shirt. "I'm gonna puke." She said as she got out of the bath to move to the toilet. "By the way. That's a nice bathtub. It's really big." She said. JJ laughed. "I know it could fit like three people." She said as she hiccuped. Emily was in disbelief. "No way. That's a lie." She said resting her head on the toilet. JJ shook her head. "We're testing it. Get in" Emily said. They climbed into the bath and to Emily's dismay they could sit comfortably in the bath together. After a few minutes they both passed out.

JJ woke up to her phone buzzing in her pocket. She grabbed and saw a message from Hotch

Hotch
Case in New Orleans. Be here by 8 am.

She looked at the clock and saw it was 7:15. She felt movement from under her and turned to see a shirtless Prentiss under her. "Um." Emily woke up to JJ looking at her confused. "Hi." She said to JJ. "Hi." JJ replied confused. "We have a case." JJ got out of the bathtub and grabbed Emily's shirt out of the sink. She tossed it to her. "God what happened?" Emily said as she put on her shirt. "I don't know but you have a little." She pointed at her shirt. "Ew. Come on." The brunette said as JJ offered a hand to help her up.

They walked out of the bathroom to find Garcia still passed out on the floor. "I'm gonna make some coffee. Today's going to be loud" Emily groaned as she walked to the kitchen. JJ walked over to Garcia and started trying to wake her up. "Garcia." She said. "Stop yelling. Jareau." Garcia groaned. JJ laughed. Emily sat on the couch with two cups of coffee in her hands. As Garcia made her way to the couch she tried to take a coffee from Emily as Emily glared at her. "Damn." JJ said as she went to grab two more mugs. Garcia was looking at her phone as a text from Hotch came in.

HOTchner🥵
Garcia we got a case. Be here in 20.

"Got a case ladies. We gotta be there in 20 minutes." Garcia said. JJ rubbed her temples. "Okay. But we're getting an Uber. I don't think any of us are good to drive." She got up and went to change. Penelope looked at Emily. "Soooooo." She said with a giggle. Emily glared at her again. "What happened with you too?  And what's that?" She pointed at the vomit on Emily's shirt. "Well I have no clue as to what happened last night. We woke up in the bathtub. And this. Is reminding me to borrow one of JJ's shirts." JJ led Emily to her bedroom. While they were gone Garcia pulled out her phone to order an Uber.

"So does anyone remember anything?" JJ asked as they were in the Uber. "I got there, we started with shots." Garcia said trying to remember. "Yeah that's it." She said as she rubbed her head. They knew it was going to be a long day. "I've got nothing." Emily said as looked at her phone. She realized she only met them yesterday, and she couldn't even remember the night.

Well that was only kind of true. She kissed JJ.
