Blind date

Sat 10th

'you've been single for nearly a year now jj, time go get back out there!' Laura shouted over the loud, heavy beat of the music in the club her and JJ were in.

'im out there' JJ retorted defensively. 'i just haven't had much in the way of a relationship recently'

'no shit Jajye… you need to get laid.'

'shut up Laura'

'Whoever this girl is your into, either get over her or get under her!' Laura cackled, supremely impressed by her own joke.

'Your vile' JJ replied, screwing her brow.

'im setting you up with someone, your weird when you're not in a relationship.'

'THE HELL YOU ARE!?' JJ nearly screamed 'I dont need to be set up, i'm fine'

'sure you are...look, I know the perfect girl for you' Laura said, as she took a sip of her martini 'she's pretty, smart, a little older than you, a cop or something…'

'A cop or something?' JJ snorted 'Is that your way of saying we have loads in common?'

'Well it's a start' Laura replied sarcastically 'Look just give it a try, i'll even be your emergency caller for if it's not going to well' she offered, whilst fighting back a laugh, remembering when JJ had done her a similar favour when she went on a date with a suddenly very creepy taxidermist.

'Fine… but if this is anything like the last one…'

Laura interrupted 'Will was a really nice guy and i wont hear any different!'

Mon 12th

On the phone to Emily, Laura said all to sweetly: 'Emily, you know that girl I told you abou…'

'No' Emily interrupted.

'Yeah you do, well I told her about you and'

'No Laura'

'Come on Em, just one drink…'

'Laura, im at work'

'Agree and ill leave you alone.'

'Fine, but she better not be a he like last time.'

'Ha, that was funny… if i didn't think she was actually a good match for you I'd so do that again…'

'What was this about leaving me alone?'

'Ok fine, Montey's at 7 on friday ok?'

'Whatever, just make sure your my emergency caller'

'Of course' Laura laughed, 'Im sure it'll be fine, wear that red dress that shows of your tits'

'Laura!' Emily barked, causing Morgan and Reid to look up, worried, and JJ to peer round the door of her office and begin walking into the bullpen. 'Ive got to go, and i don't want to talk to you about this until its over.' She abruptly hung up the phone, slamming it into the receiver.

'You ok princess?' Morgan asked tentatively.

'Yeah… just a friend pissing me off' she replied, rubbing her tired eyes, no doubt smudging her usually perfectly applied makeup.

'What's happened?' JJ asked.

'She's just set me up on a blind date'.

'Oh god, well, you're not the only one'.

'huh?'

'A girlfriend is setting me up on one too… and Im dreading it.' JJ said, laughing slightly, turning to walk back to her office, slightly disheartened at the thought of Emily going on a date. But Emily was straight. And a colleague. It would never happen. Right?

As JJ walked away, Emily couldn't help but stare at JJ's ass. Once she realised what she was doing rebuked herself silently. ' You sure you're ok prentiss?' Morgan asked again over the desk divider.

'Yeah, yeah'.

'Look, Prentiss, whoever this person is i'm sure they're perfectly fine.'

'sure' she said back. But they're not JJ. She tried to return to her case file, trying to get rid of the image of someone else with the girl of her dreams.

A/N: so this fic is based on how my girlfriend and i began dating. We'd known eachother for four years as friends and had a crush on eachother and thought each othr was straight. A mutual friend who didnt know we worked together set us up and the rest is history.

Ive kept this as close to how this really happened as possible, right dowm to the creepy taxidermist. The only real differences are:

We were estate agents, not FBI agents and names obviously.

With love to my girlfriend, Emma. Thankyou for writing your part of this story and for being the love of my life. Happy 2nd anniversary! (Too bad she only uses Ao3 ;).
