You met Emily about 5 years ago and you've been in a relationship with her for about 4 years, you met her in a bar, you came in from work after a long, awful shift and she sat next to you, you sat there and talked to her and slowly got drunk with her for the good part of 4 hours, you got her number and started dating from there.

You always knew that Emily was possessive over you, for the most part you could look handle it, it was mostly waist grabbing when another person got to close to you or when she would hold your hand in busy places, you two were big on PDA so it didn't really make much of a difference to her.

One day though, everything changed, "Hey Em" you called out putting your earrings in "can you zip me up" you shouted out.

Emily walked in to your bedroom in your shared apartment and just tilted her head as she looked at you "Where are you going sweet girl?" Emily came up behind you and slowly grabbed a handful of your hair to push to one side as she would zip your dress up.

"Remember a few days ago? when I told you that Scarlett Invited me to that girls night party thing?" you furrowed your eyebrows

"Hmm?" Emily nodded in affirmation fingers still holding onto your zip.

"That" you turned around gave her a kiss on the cheek "Are you sure you don't wanna come?" you pouted.

"Oh no, I'm not going" Emily started, you nodded accepting her answer, if she didn't want to go you couldn't force her to go and that was fine, you would just come home to her anyway "and neither are you" Emily said seriously.

You laughed in her  face

"Is this a joke to you?" Emily said sternly.

"Is what a joke?" you breath hitched.

"You know what, you are not going to that party and that's it, we're not talking about this anymore" Emily nodded.

"Okay mom" you snarked

"What did you just say to me?" Emily scorned you as she looked down on you.

"Are you...Emily are you serious?" your voice faltered.

"Yes, I am" Emily started walking back to the bed, you stood there dumbfounded as she sat on the bed and scrolled through the channels.

"Emily" you whispered "I can't cancel on Scarlett, she's been waiting for me all day" you didn't look up at her as you played with your fingers.

"Well tell her you can't go" Emily laughed.

"I'm not gonna do that" you pressed your shoulders back and stood up "I'm going tonight whether you like it or not, I'm going and you can't stop me" you said as you picked up your bag.

"Put the bag down" Emily demanded.

"No" you replied "you can't make me do anything" you scoffed.

"You're not going and that's the end of that"

You gritted your teeth and rolled your eyes, Emily ignoring your every move, eyes focused on the television in front of her.

You stormed into the living room, you got out of your phone and was about to text Scarlett that you couldn't make it when another idea came into your head.

"Scar, change of plans, I'm still coming but pick me up at 9 and park around the corner I'll explain everything"

That gave you a solid 2 hours of trying to convince Emily that you were not going to go anywhere and that you were staying home, usually Emily was a late sleeper so the sneaking hard part was going to be difficult.

9 o'clock came and you snuck out without Emily noticing, you got into Scarlett's car and explained the whole situation to her, she instantly understood and said if anything happened tonight to call her straight away, you got to the club and started drinking and dancing.

What you didn't know was that Emily knew you were going to do this and she followed you all the way there and sat in a corner, watching your every move, every single time you harmlessly flirted a little to get a free drink, every single time you danced with another person that wasn't Emily, every time you drunkenly sang.

She wanted to do that with you. She wanted you all to herself.

3 hours into the night she was bored of this and decided to get up and dance, she dances around her way in and out of crowds of people, in the dark and the strobe lighting to see you, you were facing away from her and Scarlett had no idea that you were dating one of the world's most famous FBI profilers.

You were dancing when all of a sudden you felt someone press up against you, you assumed they were trying to get passed so you inched forward a bit, doing the same again, you leaned back into them and shouted "I'm dating someone, I'm not available go hit on someone else"

"Yeah I know and she's here" you quickly turned around to see Emily, you stuttered as you were trying to think of something else to say.

"Em I'm-" you started.

"Are you Emily Prentiss?" your friend drunkenly slurred.

"Yeah I am" You watched Emily take out her ID and badge "who are you?"

"Scarlett Jones" she shrugged.

"Emily what are you doing here?" you questioned as you turned around to hand Scarlett your drink.

"The question is, what are you doing here?"
Emily said sternly "I told you not to go"

"Em-"

"Save it just come home, Scarlett, you're with me too, come on" you grabbed Scarlett's hand as Emily grabbed yours.

"You're so pretty" you drunkenly slurred as you got outside the club.

Emily blushed and smiled a little bit "You too sweet girl"

You slung your arms around Emily's waist as you looked up at her "Emily why didn't you want me to come out tonight?" you looked up and pouted.

"You're too drunk to understand right now, baby, but once your sober I'll tell you everything, okay? how does that sound?" Emily smiled as she tucked your hair behind your ears.

The truth was that, Ian Doyle was after Emily again, and she was trying her best for you to not leave without her, or go anywhere where she wasn't just in case he happened to be there, you were dating the woman who he wanted to end so badly, of course he knew who you were.

You knew Emily had a past, after that much you couldn't work out, she was after all the best of the best, everyone in the world knew who Emily Prentiss was, THAT is why Emily didn't want you to go out on your own tonight.

Once it was the next day and you were fully sober and she explained this to you, everything clicked.

The thing was, you couldn't imagine spending your life with someone who wasn't Emily Prentiss.

You just wanted to lie there with Emily on your bed for the rest of time, you couldn't do that when there was a literal stalker after her, watching both of your every move.

Emily's face slowly was covered with tears by how she treated you the night before, she knew she was too harsh, but she wanted you to be safe.

You wiped her tears away and stayed curled up together in a comfortable silence for the next half an hour.

"I can't lose you Emily" you muttered under breath, a layer of sadness and hope that you wouldn't lingered there.

"You won't" Emily kissed your head "I'll make sure of it" Emily assured.
