What's the story about: Emily gets injured on their last case and JJ decided to organise a girl's road trip home with her...what will happen?


The sun shone brightly into the girl's room and whilst Emily's nightmares were non-existent last night, they were replaced with a certain blonde sleeping in the bed next to hers and the kiss they shared last night.

She looked over and her heart raced at the sight of the beauty in front of her.

Were last night’s feelings real? Did JJ feel the same for me or was it the alcohol?
JJ was certainly flirting with her, but was she imagining it because of the alcohol or was JJ too tipsy? Until she knew, she had to wait. She had to forget the kiss last night. But how was she going to find out.

At that moment, Emily heard her name escape the blonde's lips and her heart raced a little more. She was certain of her feelings. The alcohol had given her the confidence to act on them.

JJ began to stir and immediately groaned.

"Good morning, trouble!"

JJ groaned again, this time reaching for her head.

"I'll get you some water and aspirin for that head of yours." Emily got up and rubbed JJ's shoulder comfortingly, before heading to the bathroom for water.

"I shouldn't have had that last glass. I always get in trouble with red wine! And YOU..."

"What...?" Emily asked, pretending to be shocked.

"Don't look so innocent! You getting that second bottle! It's all your fault!"

Emily chuckled, "you have a mouth..." She looked at that gorgeous mouth, shaking her head trying to wipe the images popping into it..."..you could've used it!"

"Mmmm...I thought I did!"

Emily blushed, handing JJ a glass of water with the aspirin, sitting beside her.

"Uummm...errr..."

JJ immediately regretted bringing Emily's attention to their interaction last night.

"Oh..." JJ let out softly and cleared her throat. "I'm sorry Em...."

"No it's not what you think...I just thought you wouldn't remember it, or, would avoid the topic."

"Prentiss, I'm a media liaison! We don't dismiss things unless we need to. We'd rather get straight to the point!"

Emily grinned, "Yeah I briefly forgot!"

"So...."

Both girls looked intensely into the eyes opposite them.

Neither of them regretted the encounter last night. Both wanted more. Alcohol had only prompted the interaction and opened their eyes to what was in front of them - each other.

What seemed like hours, but in reality was only a few seconds, Emily began to open up. She was unsure how the blonde would react, but had decided the best course of action was to be honest about her attraction to the younger woman.

"JJ...I'm not sure for how long, but somehow along the way, my feelings for you have become more than someone who'd be friends with another," Emily lightly touched JJ's arm, wanting really to touch her cheek.

JJ reached for Emily's hand on her arm and squeezed it, keeping hold. She did not want to interrupt the brunette. JJ had become aware of her own feelings more than a few months ago, but was unsure if her feelings were reciprocated, and, now that Emily was opening up, she certainly wasn't going to stop her from continuing.

"I guess...well...I know, that I like you, JJ. Last night wasn't a mistake on my end; I hope it wasn't on yours."

Emily wanted to say more, SO much more...but she did not want to scare JJ off. Emily did not want a one-off, nor did she want to be told was an alcohol-inspired event. She wanted to tell JJ this. She wanted to stop looking into those beautiful, deep blue eyes staring at her, close her eyes and attack the lips facing her.

"Em...".

Emily broke from her daydream, returning her gaze on JJ.

"I have one question for you."

Emily raised her eyebrow, unsure and afraid of the words that could come out of her mouth and looked down shyly.

JJ grabbed Emily's chin and brought back their eye contact.

"How come it took so long to figure it out?"

Emily could not stand it any longer and enveloped JJs lips. She closed her eyes and deepened the kiss. JJ responded with an inviting moan, finally bringing her arms around the brunette and pulling her closer to her. The intensity between the two was growing by the second.

Emily reluctantly withdrew, gasping with a smile on her face.

JJ gasped out, "Prentiss....I think that's the biggest smile I've seen on your face ever!"

"Mmmm what can I say? You've just made me a very happy woman right now!"

JJ smiled, "Well hopefully I can keep you happy more than just right now!" The blonde grabbed Emily's hand, entangling her fingers with the brunette's and kissing the back of it.

Emily's heart was melting from the attention and the words that had just come from the blonde's mouth.

"And, by that you mean?"

"I like you too Em, more than just friends...and....I hope I’m not getting too far ahead of myself, but it maybe more than just like!"

JJ squinted into Emily's eyes, looking for a reaction but Emily was too stunned to respond.

How did I miss this? I'm the profiler and missed the beauty in front of me's attention....

Snapping out of her thoughts, Emily smiled once more and leaned in focusing her attention on the delicious lips in front of her.

She purred in the most seductive voice JJ had heard, "Jennifer...That’s exactly what I wanted to hear," before claiming those luscious lips, leaving JJ to whimper and moan.
