Hotch had gone through the details with Emily and JJ and after some discussion they'd agreed that they would go to the gayclub undercover tonight, the sooner the better.

Emily returned to her desk when Morgan approached her

"So... you, JJ, gayclub..." He said with a smug smile and winked at her

" I'm getting visuals already" he continued teasing her

"Shut up!" Emily hit him on the arm

"Ouch!" He smiled and headed back to his desk.

JJ came down from her office to grab a cup of coffee. Emilys eyes followed her til she caught herself and looked down at her desk. Putting her hands to her head she rubbed her temples. What are you doing? Dont give Morgan more reasons to get to you by catching you staring at her She sighed and looked up surprised to see JJ standing in front of her desk with two cups of coffee in her hands.

"Are you busy right now?" She asked

"Eh.. no not really" Emily answered

"Wanna join me for a cup of coffee in my office? I thought maybe we need to discuss some things before... tonight?" JJ finished

"Yeah, sure" Emily stood up and took the coffeecup from JJ. Their fingers brushed lightly and Emily felt her heart speed up Get a grip Prentiss! she thought to herself.

Inside JJ's office Emily took a seat in the chair infront of JJ's desk. JJ leaned against her desk facing Emily.

"Ok, so I thought that maybe we should talk about tonight. You know, maybe decide how we're gonna do this" JJ started, feeling a little nervous. She didn't look Emily in the eyes.

"You're right. It's probably better if we have some sort of 'plan' for how the night is going to be, I take it you're new at this aswell?" Emily smiled at her trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah..." JJ smiled back "A plan sounds like a great idea" She trailed off before she continued "Emily...if this is going to work the unsub must think that we are..." JJ hesitated with her next words "...uhm...in love..." Emily looked up and caught her eyes God this is going to be harder than I thought Once again their eyes locked and they just looked at each other She has the most amazing eyes... I could just drown in them...NO stop it right now Prentiss, you need to focus! FOCUS finally Emily broke their gaze and looked down at her coffee cup.

"I know...so...we should probably arrive together, and then..." Emily thought about what to say next. She looked up at her again.

"You know, why dont we just take it as it comes when we arrive?" Emily continued. She couldn't think, little less speak out loud, what they would be doing once in the club. She understood that they would have to be more intimate with each other if they were going to pass as a couple in love, but she didn't want to think just how intimate. It scared her because she was afraid of what it would do to her, being that close to JJ.

JJ actually felt relieved that Emily suggested that they'd take it as it comes once they're in the club. She was starting to feel nervous about it already.

"Yeah that works for me, so do you want me to come pick you up later on, or?" JJ asked

"Yeah that would be great" Emily said. They looked at each other again, silence filled the room, then Emily looked at her watch and continued "Well, I'd better get back to my desk and wrap up before I head home, but give me a call when you're ready, ok?" She got up and walked to the door

"Emily...?" JJ said softly

"Yes?" she turned around and looked at her

"It'll be fine" JJ said and gave her a smile. Emily just nodded and smiled back before returning to her desk. She sat down and took a deep breath JJ's right, it's going to be fine, we're professionals, it's just a job. It's just a job... But why do I get a feeling that tonight's gonna change everything?
