JJ jumped into the cab. She was late. Why? Because straightners are a bitch. And eyeliner is a bitch. And mascara can just go fuck itself. By the time she got to the restaurant her date would probably have left.

And what a shame that would be.

Maybe straight to Emilys? Unless her date went well. JJ felt a pain in her stomach. She wanted Emily to be happy, to find someone. She jusy wished that person could be her. But things rarely worked out like that.

The cab pulled up out side the restaurant. JJ glanced at her phone 7:30. God, she must look so rude. Her date must have left by now. God knows she would have.

She hurried through the doors and approached the hostess.

'Hi im looking for the table under the name laura denton?'

'Right this way' the woman ushered her over to the far end of the restaurant. To a secluded table, and JJ stopped dead in her tracks. She went to rub her eyes in disbelief, but just in time remebering how long she spent on her eyeliner.

Emily. Her face was turned the other way, and she gulped down the remains of her wine. She looked fucking hot. Red was definetly Emily's colour. JJ composed herself, smoothed down her dress and wiped the drool about to pour out of her mouth at the sight of the dark haired beauty.

Laura was about to get the biggest bunch of flowers JJ could possibly find.

'Hey red dress' she called over.

Emilys' head moved so fast her neck should have snapped. Her eyes widened.

'Wow' Emily blurted out, before her brains filter kicked in.

'Wow yourself'

The women stared at eachother for what seemed like hours, before Emily's brain kicked into gear.

'Please, sit down' she said with a smile. She briefly considered telling JJ she could go. That thier mutual friend has obviously made a mix up. But this was her chance. Her body tingled with excitment at the chance. Be bold prentiss, she told herself. She called over the waiter and asked JJ: ' what do u want to drink?' And orderes a refil of her glass before rembering the wine's foul taste, making her screw up her face slightly.

JJ noticed the face 'Are you ok Em?' JJ asked, concerned. Oh God, what if she dosent want to be here? The iternal monologue warred within JJ. She hasnt tried to leave. Maybe she's just being polite. For gods sake say something.

RING RING

JJ mumbled an apology before rooting for her phone in her purse.

Laura. JJ answered quickly.

'This is ur emergency call'

'Not needed'

'She's hot isnt she?' JJ could hear the smugness in her voice.

'Now is not the time' JJ said, trying to end the conversation.

'Thank me later' Laura said with a laugh, hanging up.

'Sorry about that Emily'

'No problem' she chuckled 'ur emergency call i assume?' Her eyebrow was raised and her smile was crooked. She was beautiful.

'No... yes...yo...ness... how did you know?' JJ sputtered out.

RING RING. Emily's phone blared from her bag. The women both laughed.

'Thats why' JJ winked.

Emily fished her phone and anwered.

'Not needed' she said down the phone, quickly hung up and tossed the phone back into her bag. Her pale porcelin features had turned bright red. JJ made eye contact and said: 'U dont have to stay Em.'

'I want to.'

'Me too'

The meal carried on. Followed by desert and more wine. The women taked aboit anything other than work, relishing getting to know a side that was hidden from eachother as coworkers and friends. The perfect date in both the women's opinion.

As they left a brief akward hug was shared.

'I had a great time tonight, Em'

'Me too'

Neither woman knew what to say. How to end the night. To make thier hopes and intentions for more clearer.

'Well, see you later' JJ lingered for a moment more and left.

That was your chance Prentiss. You blew it. Run after her. She turned around, but JJ was already in a cab. Em felt tears begin to form. Its over.

RING RING. Emily looked at her phone. JJ came up as the caller ID.

'Hey Jayje'.

'Hey Em'

'Is everything ok?'

'Well, my date was a bust'

'Oh really?' Emily smirked.

'Yep. Not even a kiss goodbye.'

'Well thats just rude.'

'I know right! How was your date?'

'Bad too. Hot girl, but always on her phone'

JJ laughed. 'So both bad then? Does that mean your coming to mine now like we planned?'

Emily did a victory dance before hailing a cab. 'On my way now.'

'Does this mean ill get my kiss goodnight?' JJ quipped.

'Definetly'
