The Morning After
Emily lay awake in the hotel bed, she could see the alarm clock on the bedside table, it's bright red numbers told her it was 5:16 AM. She should have been fast asleep; she had about three more hours of sleep coming her way before the alarm was set to go off. But try as she might, sleep just did not fine her. The reason she couldn't sleep could have been because thoughts of the day before were still playing on her mind, maybe it was because she was in a strange bed; however, the more likely cause for Emily's insomnia was sleeping soundly next to her. Her partner was sleeping next to her. Actually her naked partner was sleeping next to a naked Emily. She had slept with her partner that was not good. Her mind kept racing, she had slept with her partner and she had been completely sober while doing it. Not that alcohol intake would have excursed her behaviour but it might have helped her to rationalize her actions. Not that the FBI had any official saying about male and female agents hooking up, Emily assume it was more of an unwritten rule, that not many agents were dumb enough to cross. And Emily was certainly not dumb, but yet she lay there with her naked partner's body pushed up against her own. If this ever got out, she would be screwed. Her reputation at the office would be ruined, not to mention the respect she had earned from her co-workers would be shattered. The guys wouldn't take her seriously anymore and she was convinced the girls would think she just set them back ten years. So Emily continue to lie there with her mind racing, hoping that the situation she was in, was really a dream. No scratch that a nightmare.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP the alarm went off. Emily stretched out her arm and hit the snooze button. She felt Matt stir beside her. Crap it wasn't a dream, well she could hope right? She felt him move his arm from around her waist and gently laid his hand on her hip for support as he moved his head over to give her a good morning kiss. She returned the kiss for an instance, until she remembered that this was a bad idea than she pulled back.
"Something wrong?" Matt asked
"HA!" Emily laughed. "This...this is wrong. Matt, we had sex last night!" Emily stammered
"I know I was there" He said with an evil grin.
"Funny" She certainly was in no mood for his jokes this morning. "So you must know it was a horrible, horrible mistake" she said turning to face him for the first time since they woke up.
"Umm...Ok" he replied. Emily thought for a second she saw hurt in his eyes.
"I mean the actual act wasn't horrible, just the fact it was you and me was bad. We're partners; partners don't do what we did." She rumbled
"Ok what do you suggest" Matt said, he did not agree with Emily's logical but for now he figured he let her handle it however she wanted to.
"You’re going to close your eyes while I get out of bed and get a shower. When I get back you will be gone. We'll get our flight back to LA and we will just pretend this never happened. We'll go back." It was the only logical suggestion she had.
"Ok, it never happened, we'll just go back." He agreed. Knowing all to well they could never go back.
