Disclaimer: i don't own criminal minds. (but i can dream) Sigh...

Chapter 1

It had been a week since Emily Prentiss had met Mick Rawson and ever since then she had been receiving romantic poem texts. All together she had received 86. How Mick knew so many romantic poems she did not know.

Sitting up, Emily looked for the noise that had awoken her. On the coffee table lay her blackberry still bleeping signalling to her that she had received another text. Sighing, she picks it ready to see another poem text but instead was met with a text from one of her best friends, JJ.

'Hey Em, Me and Garcia will be coming around yours soon for our girls night in at your place. Pick a movie and we'll get the ice cream and sweets, JJ,' it had said.

She threw the phone back on the coffee table and laid back on the sofa, her eyes fluttering closed. She re-awoke to the sound of banging coming from her front door. She walked to the door expecting to find JJ, Garcia and a tub of ice cream but instead was met with a very handsome looking Mick Rawson.

"Mick?" she asked confused. "What are you doing here?"

"Can I come in, please?" He avoided her question while flashing a dazzling smile.

She opened the door further signalling him to follow her.

When they reached her living room Emily, who had been walking in front, abruptly stopped and turned around resulting in Mick crashing into her almost sending her to the floor but she was caught by Mick.

"Oof!" she exclaimed whilst detangling herself from his arms.

"So, what are you doing here?" she said, raising an eyebrow in question.

"Did you get my texts?" he said avoiding the question again

"Yes, they were sweet, for lack of a better word." She answered with a small smile.

"Huh, thanks. Well that went better than expected."

"What were you expecting?"

"Well, for you to either shoot or punch me." He answered smirking at her

"If you don't rub that smirk off of your face," she started, while leaning closer to him "I will." She said before pulling away.

"So what did you want Mick?" She asked.

"I was hoping that my texts would have wooed you enough for you to agree to me taking you on a date." He said, smirking again

"Mick, why are you pursuing so hard? I'm sure you could get any girl you wanted." She said with a sigh

"Because," he said pausing for enthuses "I don't want to go out with just any old girl, I want to go on a date with you." he replied slightly smirking cockily.

"But thats what i don't understand, Why?" she asked confused

"Because, Emily, other than the fact that you are mind blowingly hot," he said smirking at her obvious blush, while pausing "you can also hold your own, you have amazingly beautiful eyes and you are sexy smart." he said genuinely

"Sexy smart?" she questioned

"You know," he said like it was as obvious as her blush "You make being brainy very sexy." Reaching up to touch her cheek lightly, making her blush more.

She grabbed his hand, ignoring the tingles it gave her and firmly said, "Ok then," While smiling at him.

"What?" he questioned averting his gaze to his shoes briefly, before looking back up at her.

"Yes, ok, I'll go on a date with you."

"Really?" he asked disbelievingly

Before she could answer she heard the door go again for the second time that night. She turned to go to it before noticing she still had hold of Mick's hand and dropping it.

She opened the door only slightly as not to reveal Mick to the two peachy blondes on the outside.

"Hey guys what are you doing here? She asked confused

"Girls night in remember, Em, I sent you a text about an hour ago telling you we'd be here soon, we've been planning this for 2 weeks." JJ said sighing

"Ooh yeah sorry I, err, forgot." she said turning her head and glaring at Mick who was smirking at her fumbling words.

"It's ok, my raven haired warrior princess." Garcia replied

The three girls could distinctively hear Mick trying to stifle laughter, although JJ and Garcia were confused about the sound.

"What was that?" JJ said narrowing her eyes at Emily, who looked positively nervous.

"Nothing, err, it could of been the cat." She said trying to hide her nervousness but failing miserably

"It didn't sound like nothing, sugarplum fairy" Garcia said before her and JJ pushed their way through Emily to see Mick still trying to contain his laughter.

They turned back to Emily, who now had a very obvious bright red blush rising to her face.

"Ooh, Lucy you got some 'splainin' to do!" JJ exclaimed

"We'll go put the ice cream in the freezer while your walk your, err, guest to the door" Garcia said smiling cheekily

With that JJ and Garcia walked into the kitchen leaving Mick and Emily alone once again.

"So I guess you're being kicked out, I'm sorry." Emily said smiling apologetically

"It's ok Em." He said walking over to her near the door.

"So, huh" she muttered

Mick let out a short laugh and said "I guess I'll see you later then, Em" he said opening the door.

"Wait, Mick!" She called out to him.

"Yeah?" he questioned, looking back at her.

"Saturday, at 7." She said simply.

"Huh," he said scrunching his nose in confusion.

"You know, our date. I said yes and that's when you can pick me up."

"I'll be there, see you then." He said smugly before walking away.

She stood at the door for a few minutes longer watching him walk away before she felt JJ and Garcia's presence behind her; therefore she closed the door awaiting the intense inquiry that was to come.

"So, an explanation would be nice right now, Ms Prentiss." Garcia started

"Ok, so it all started after san Francisco when he started sending me these incredibly cheesy but really romantic poem texts" she stared before being cut off by Garcia

"He sent you poem texts, how sweet." She cooed

"And a bit stalkerish," JJ muttered smirking

"Stalkerish? Is that even a word?" Garcia pondered

"Ooh, you know what I mean." JJ shot back

Before Garcia could reply Emily said "anyway, moving on, so I had been receiving them all week when today I received another text but this time it wasn't for him like I thought it would be, it was from JJ confirming our girls night in. So while I was waiting for you two I accidently fell asleep on the sofa the woke up to someone knocking on my door, although, at the time I thought it was you two."

"Which it wasn't," Garcia interrupted again.

"Thank you, Garcia, I know I was there remember, so anyway I opened the door and the stood in all his hot British glory was Mick."

"Now you admit he's hot." JJ proclaimed.

"Yes, JJ, Ok he is, in your words a hot British dude with a sexy accent badge and gun, totally my type." She admitted in response.

"So why was he here then?" Garcia impatiently asked the dreaded question.

"Well." She started hesitantly. "All that happened before you came was him asking me on a date and me saying yes."

"So, you didn't bed him?" Garcia asked

"No, Garcia!"

"And you didn't kiss him at all." JJ asked

"No guys."

"Well, why not?" Garcia asked rather loudly.

"Because Garcia, 1. You two interrupted, 2. We haven't gone on a date yet and, 3. I do not kiss or even sleep with people before I date them, you know, been there, done that, got the tee shirt, sold it and got it returned to me." She replied in one breath

And with that being said JJ and Garcia burst out with laughter.


I know, not a great first chapter, my second chapter is longer and hopefully better but that is up to well whoever is reads this.
