If you asked any member of the BAU what was going on, they'd tell you the world was coming to a screeching halt. Why? Because, for no apparent reason at all, after one of the longest and most exhausting cases of the year, Erin Strauss had given the whole team three days off work. It was a rather unreasonable thing to do, not seen all that often in the bureau, but, needless to say, the members of the behavioral analysis unit weren't exactly complaining.

It was a Friday, and when Morgan came up with the idea of going clubbing that night, both Hotchner and Rossi disappeared from the scene. Hotch saying he was going to spend the weekend with Jack, and Rossi claiming to go hunting God knows where.

First things first, the handsome agent shared the thought with the lab's tech wizard, Penelope Garcia, who, in turn, after giving the idea some inexistent thought, came up with an idea of her own. Not long afterwards, they had invited both JJ and Emily, and Reid, who had surprisingly agreed to go.

Later that night, car arrangements already made, the promise to text each other the address to the bar they were going to go to, and a clueless Reid tagging along with the plan without really knowing so, JJ parked her iron grey car in Emily's driveway. Taking a deep breath, she hopped off and closed the door, silvery keys in hand as she walked up the steps to Emily's building. A few shy, stammered words through the speaker later, JJ was waiting for Emily to come down.
Nerves taking the best of her, she started playing with the hem of her black halter top, her other hand moving to rest two fingertips on her lower lip. She hadn't felt like a teenager in the midst of hormonal rage since she had first started college, and she tried in her mind to deny the fact that it had everything to do with spending the evening with the brunette agent… and the rest of the team. Trying to regain some of her composure, she straightened the invisible wrinkles of her top's fabric and shoved both hands in her jeans' back pockets.

Before she could take them out again, Emily opened the door and stepped outside, a shy yet somewhat smug smile playing on her lips as she said, "Ok, I'm all set to go"

Not really having registered what the other woman had said, since she had been too focused on checking her out, JJ inquired confused, "What?"

"Huh?" Emily replied, then realized that, after doing her fair share of staring herself, she hadn't listened to the blonde standing in front of her either.

Blinking rapidly to shake off the lightheadedness the impact Emily's outfit had had on her over-aroused brain—I mean, who could blame her, the brown eyed woman had a red blouse on with cleavage low enough to get the eyes of over half the world on her—JJ turned in her heels almost uncomfortably and began walking towards the car. She approached the passenger side and opened the door for her companion, not having thought about her actions for a second but doing it instinctively.

A small smile tugged at the corners of Emily's lips as she registered JJ's almost chivalrous act and a blush crept to her cheeks unbeknownst by the blonde, who was too busy mentally smacking herself as she opened the door to the driver seat and slid behind the wheel.

Once they were both inside and JJ had turned the ignition on, Emily cleared her throat and commented, "You…" yet she stopped herself. She had intended to tell the blue eyed agent that she looked good, but she chickened out on the last second and tried to come up with something else to say, JJ looking at her expectantly to drive off.

"Do you already have the address?" she finally managed, another wave of heat hitting her as a soft shade of pink stained her cheeks and JJ couldn't help but finding the gesture adorable, a smile spreading on her features.

"Yeah, Garcia wrote it down for me before leaving the bureau" JJ replied, laughter almost noticeable in the tone of her voice, and Emily found herself feeling less and less nervous by the minute.

Shrugging softly, her mouth the shape of an ‘o', Emily held her gaze on JJ as she stared at the road ahead of them, focused on driving.

However, inside of the cool exterior, the blonde was trying her best not to let her thoughts wander to the woman sitting right next to her, and the closeness of their hands as she tapped her fingers against her thigh. On the other side of the car, Emily was considering the different lines she could use to tell JJ that she more-than-liked her choice of outfit, her tongue darting out for a split second to moisten her lips, action that didn't go unnoticed by JJ, her peripheral sight beyond alert. Upon making up her mind on something, Emily puckered up the courage and turned to give JJ her full attention, "You look amazing," she paused when JJ glanced at her briefly, the beginning of a smirk lingering on her lips, "black goes well with you, it brings out the colors of your face. It makes your hair look golden and the blue of your eyes look brighter"

It was only after JJ answered, "Why, thanks, Em. But, you look a whole lot better than I do. And apparently you don't need me to tell you that red is definitely your color" and sent a wink her way, that Emily realized just how flirty what she had said had sounded. Less than a second later, though, she decided she didn't really care—the woman she was observing so intently and whom she cared so deeply for had just complimented her.

The rest of the drive was silent, and once they had left the car behind in the parking lot, they began walking towards the entrance of the club, neon lights glowing against the dark blue of the clear night sky, a few stars matching their brightness. Despite it being a short walk, throughout it, both women had inched closer to the other's side, their hands barely brushing by the time they reached the door.

Almost scared, they stepped inside. Trust Garcia with choosing the perfect place to go clubbing. The contrast between the darkness of the large, crowded room and the dimly lit street was non-existent, and they instantly recognized Reid sitting on a stool by the bar. Approaching him in few steps, JJ tapped his shoulder in an attempt to catch his attention over the loud techno music playing in the background, yet failing to notice the looks people were sending their way. The young agent turned around almost startled and smiled brightly at them, "Hi"

"Where are Morgan and Garcia?" JJ inquired as she folded her arms across her chest and rested her weight on her right foot, causing her body to lean into Emily's, their thighs touching in the slightest of ways.

"I don't think they'll come" he yelled back, an apologetic look adorning his fresh face. When he realized the two women had no idea what he was talking about, he elaborated, "I got hit on a dozen times already. All by different guys," he paused shortly to bite his lip and glance to a table on the far end by a corner of the place then continued, "see how that group of girls is looking this way? They're checking you two out. Garcia sent us to a gay bar"

Both Emily's and JJ's heads snapped his way in shock and an incredulous chuckle escaped JJ's lips as Emily asked, her eyes wide and dark, "A gay bar?" He nodded affirmatively and replied, "Yeah. Anyway, I just stayed until you guys came, just to let you know that I am not staying here. Those guys creep me out"

Confidence seeping through her pores once again, JJ joked, "Aww, Reid, they just ogle you. You do have this kind of…" she paused to think of the right word whilst Emily looked around the room, seemingly searching for something, "…gay vibe" the blonde finished earning a frown and slap in the arm from her boyish colleague, who stepped off the stool and said, "I'm leaving" He was almost by the door when he turned around and winked at the two women, "You two have fun" Then he was gone, leaving JJ to stare after him in wonder.

The blonde turned to look at her object of affection to find Emily, eyebrow raised suggestively, staring back at her somewhat pleadingly. "What?" JJ inquired, blue eyes, pupils dilated, meeting brown ones.

The brunette was silent for a moment then stated, "I need to go to the bathroom. Would you come with me?" JJ's gaze on her was suddenly too intense as a slightly mischievous smile spread through her features and she folded her arms across her chest, her smile widening, "Why? You afraid some random chick might hit on you on the way there? I wouldn't blame them"

It only took Emily a second to register JJ's words before she had clasped the younger woman's hand in her own, dragging her towards the ladies room. Regardless of the numerous times they bumped into people in order to get there, their hands remained tightly clamped, their fingers intertwined, the warmth too comforting, and the touch soothingly familiar. Releasing a thankful sigh when she realized the room and stalls were empty, Emily relaxed the tiniest bit and felt JJ tugging at her hand as she closed the door behind them.

Before she could know what had hit her, Emily found herself being pressed roughly against the back of the bathroom door, JJ's hand finding its way to the lock as she lips claimed the brunette's in a quick, passionate kiss that knocked the breath out of her. It didn't take long, however, for Emily to react as her left hand flew instantly to tangle itself in JJ's golden locks and her right hand settled in a perfect fit against the small of JJ's back, pulling her closer. In turn, the blonde pulled away enough to take a look at the older woman's face, her hands resting on Emily's hips, and a smile claimed her pink lips when she recognized the flushed look of arousal in her face.

Emily felt JJ's warm breath hitting her own lips and the urge to kiss her again was almost too strong for her to resist, yet she restrained. Her brown orbs reappearing from under heavy lids, the intensity of the kiss still dancing in her eyes, she fixed her gaze on JJ's darkened eyes, now tinged with a navy blue shade she had never seen before, pupils more dilated than earlier.

What seemed like an eternity for the both of them afterwards, a relieved look of approval on Emily's face, JJ brushed her full lips against those of the brunette once again, softer this time, enjoying the feeling and memorizing every reaction she was eliciting from the other woman. JJ wasn't sure which of them did it, but the moment her tongue slipped in Emily's mouth, one of them moaned loudly, the sound reverberating against her lips, causing a tingling feeling to rush through them. Emily's hands were now nearing the waistline of JJ's jeans, her fingers hooking instinctively on the belt loops of the denim beneath her hands, fingertips brushing softly against the velvety skin of JJ's stomach.

The brunette hadn't realized just how bright the bathroom lights were until she threw her head back to rest against the wooden door with a soft thud, to give the blonde access to her neck to scatter a few kisses here and there. And she had certainly never done something of this nature before. Going to a gay bar? Sure, she had thought of it… before having moved to DC. Making out in a bathroom like a teenage school girl? The idea had never crossed her mind and if someone had told her she'd be in this situation with JJ, of all people, she would have laughed in their face.
Soon, she felt the loss of JJ's lips on the skin of her collarbone, and she brought a finger up to place it under the blonde's chin, pulling her up to bring their lips together one more time into a bruising quick kiss.

Grin from ear to ear, JJ pulled away and Emily couldn't help the groan that slipped her lips in protest. Thus, the younger woman shifted her gaze from one chocolate eye to the other then asked, her voice barely above a whisper and even though she knew she had to lean closer to hear her, it felt louder to Emily than it really was, the sound intended to reach only her ears, "Do you want to get out of here?"

A smirk took over Emily's lips as she joked, a flirtatious glint sparkling in her eyes, "I don't know. I don't want you to be stolen away when someone hits on you one step out of this bathroom" The rich sound of JJ's laughter filled her ears, causing her arousal to grow in anticipation of what this woman could do to her. Slowly, the pressure JJ's hips were putting on her own dissipated, and the blue eyed agent growled smugly, "I'm stolen already," she paused and pulled away from Emily completely, both instantly missing the contact, then she leaned into the brunette's neck, her breath tickling the brunette's ear as she whispered, "Come on, Em. There's no denying what we both want now" and Emily's knees went weak. Since all she could do was nod in response, her throat suddenly dry, the words drowned in a far corner of her brain, she let JJ take a hold of her hand and lead the out of the club and into the now crisply cool air of DC.

The drive to JJ's place went by slower than Emily would have liked it to go, yet she knew it had been just few minutes. Few yet very, very tortuous minutes and she couldn't keep her hands off the younger woman. Before the door had even clicked shut behind them, their lips joined again as they stumbled towards the bedroom, pausing only when Emily asked almost uncertain, the longing in her eyes saying otherwise, "JJ, you sure you want to go this fast?" Taken aback by the question, the blonde frowned, yet the frown was soon replaced by a content smile, "After everything that has been happening recently, I've realized life is way too short to waste it and not chase your dreams. So, yes, Em, I want to do this now; and no, I don't think it's fast, but we can stop if you want, I can wait. I will wait for as long as you need me to because…" she stopped abruptly and her breath hitched in her throat as her face contorted in a realization she hadn't come to before. Her eyes met Emily's and she finally said, her voice thick with emotion, "…I love you, Emily"

That was all Emily needed to get her senses back alive and take JJ's face between her hands, a raspy whisper leaving her lips like a soft breeze, "God, I love you too" Their kiss was continued and they managed to get to the bedroom in record time.

Dawn was cracking outside, the faintest touch of pink leaving space for the peachy shade of orange to take over the immensity of the sky in which the sun rose. The air was fresh signaling the arrival of a new day, and it was even before the birds awakening to chirp and sing joyfully. The faint morning light was creeping its way through the slips of JJ's half-closed blinds, hitting Emily square in the eye. Shifting her head to avoid the unwelcome, sudden awakening, she opened a squinted eye and before she had even opened both, she noticed the soft body, source of the warmth spreading through her side, that lay half on top of her. Once she had forced her eyelids open, she brought her head up and lowered her gaze, eyes landing on the blonde mass of locks resting on her chest the morning light painting it with golden and platinum, making it glow against her honeyed skin, making her look angelic, the images of the night before flashing behind her eyes like a slideshow, causing a soft blush to stain her cheeks. She knew she hadn't been angelic at all.

She smiled to herself as she thought of how complete her life was at that very moment and the sigh that escaped her lips, though barely audible, caused JJ to stir and cuddle closer to her, curling up on Emily's side. The brunette looked at the younger woman's face, taking in the peacefulness her features carried and waited for JJ to fully wake up, yet she couldn't stop herself when her own slender hand came up to stroke the blonde head resting on top of her.

Her eyes were fixed on JJ's face when the blonde's eyes fluttered open, a line of turquoise appearing and Emily noticed that, just like the shade of blue she had seen the night before, this was one she had never seen before.

"Morning gorgeous" the brunette greeted, her smile widening, to what JJ smiled back somewhat groggily and replied, her voice quite scratchy, "Hey"

The next few minutes were spent in silence, the only sound was their even breathing and the beating of their hearts in unison, until JJ said, "I meant it last night," she propped up on her elbows, the sheet sliding off her back, exposing the flawless skin of her naked back and collarbones and Emily stared at her confused, "I love you, Em"

"So did I. I love you, Jennifer. More than you could ever imagine" Emily confessed softly, her arms wrapping around JJ's slender form and pulling her closer.

The café wasn't exactly crowded, not that it mattered to Morgan, since spotting someone like Garcia wasn't hard, at all. The moment he caught a glimpse of a blonde head with pink lights, a half smile played on his lips and he walked up to her then pulled up a chair and plopped down taking his sunglasses off.

"Morning, baby girl" he said as he made himself comfortable.

"Hiya sugar!" she chuckled, then added, "I've already ordered. Black coffee, extra cream and sugar, right?"

He simply nodded, a satisfied, knowing smirk lingering on his features. Then he asked, "So, how do you think things went last night?"

Penelope laughed chirpily and cocked her head to a side as she leaned back against the back of the chair and folded her arms across her chest, "Reid said they were looking rather cozy when he left, and…" she dragged the world long, "the bartender said they left right after they came out of the ladies room, all lovey-dovey and smiley and touchy feely. Therefore, my scorching piece of flesh, you owe me $50 bucks"

He sighed defeated as he shook his head, then when realization dawned upon him, his $50 dollar bill already snatched from his grasp, his head shot up and he inquired curiously, "The bartender? How does the bartender know you?"

Her eyes sparkled from behind her blood red rimmed glasses and before she could give him an answer, his eyes widened upon another, more disturbing realization, "Wait, wait, wait a minute…" he paused and narrowed his widened eyes, studying her as her grin went beyond wide and she flashed her white teeth at him. Then he asked, "How did you even know of that gay bar?"
