She - JJ & Emily

POV 6: JJ

I left Hotch's office after going over everything that happened that day. Emily was sitting at her desk and looked up at me nervously.
I instantly felt safe again.
"Waiting for me?" I asked, smiling. She seemed embarrassed and got off guard.
"Yeah," She chuckled and stood up. "Sorry, I just didn't wanna leave , I was worried about you."
It was a horrible day for both of us. I was still slightly shaking. I was so glad she didn't leave, I didn't want to go through the night alone without her.
"Thank you." I said as we got into the elevator.
"Was everything okay with Hotch?" Emily asked.
"Yeah I just needed to go over what happened with him." I said.
"Sounds fun," Emily laughed.
"Yeah, don't wanna relive that ever again." I said.
Neither of us were addressing the elephant in the room, but maybe there was no need to. Emily truly was my best friend. I probably would've reacted the same way if the roles were switched. We got outside and stood there, looking at each other.
Will was out of town and Henry was with my mom. There was no way I could be alone that night. My heart started beating faster.
"Emily," I said. She looked at me.
"Yes?"
I took a deep breath and swallowed my pride.
"Do you wanna...go somewhere?" I asked. She broke into a smile. "Will is out of town and my mom has Henry and I just don't want to be alone tonight."
"I was hoping you'd say that," Emily said. "Come with me."
We walked side my side to her car. I felt so safe beside her.
"I was scared to let you out of my sight tonight." She said with a laugh.
"Yeah, I thought I was the one with the motherly instincts. You really showed up." I said. Shit I hope that didn't make it weird.
"Want to go to the lake?" Emily asked, turning on the car. Watching her, I wanted to look the way she did when she drove. Wow.
"Emily!" I laughed. "Are you looking to get murdered?"
"Trust me, you're safe. It's a place only I know." She said with a smile. Anywhere with Emily, was the safest place I could be.
"Alright, I trust you." I said.
"How are you feeling? Any better?" She asked. I nodded.
"I'm still a little shaken up... that kid ... it could've been Henry." I said, recalling the dread I felt.
"It would never be," Emily said. "He has you to protect him."
I smiled at her.
"I think that you know just about everything there is to know about me, Emily." I said.
She looked over at me and smiled. There was something deep in her eyes that I couldn't put my finger on. Emily and I obviously had something more intimate than friendship between us, but there was a chance I had made it all up in my head. That something more intimate than friendship could be the kind of bond that two sisters share. She was my best friend. That was it. I had never been with a girl.  I don't know about Emily, but I know she would never want me like that.
But then right as she pulled up to her secret spot, the song started playing oh so softly on the radio. Come away with me by Nora Jones. I remember listening to it in the car on my first case with Emily. It had to be a sign from the universe.
I had almost died that day, whether or not what I was feeling for Emily was real, I needed to hold onto that moment.
"Emily." I exclaimed. She looked at me and laughed.
"What?"
"Get out. Leave the car on." I ordered, turning the radio up.
The moon shone on the water and I could see her black hair toppling over her shoulders. And her gorgeous brown eyes that swallowed me whole. She looked so nervous. But so, so, so beautiful.
"Dance with me," I said, taking her hands.
"JJ I don't dance-"
"Shh," I pulled her close to me and we swayed to the music.
Holy shit.
There had never been another time in my life I was feeling what I felt then. And I wasn't sure that I ever would again.
When the song was over, we pulled away from each other and just looked at each other.
Had I made a mistake? Did she want me to say something? Did she feel what I felt? Did she feel nothing that I felt?
