Rosa's whole body tenses as she feels Gina's lips crash into hers. But slowly, she allows herself to melt into Gina's touch. She places her hands behind Gina's neck and lessens the space between them as she deepens the kiss. When they finally pull apart, Rosa lets out a happy sigh and looks into Gina's fiery blue eyes.

"Gina I...what was....why did you...who..." she says as she struggles to make sense of what just happened.

Gina smiles softly. "Well it was a kiss, I did it because I wanted to, and it was none other than Gina Linetti, baby!" she chuckles.

"Gi, I don't understand."

Gina sighs. "I like you, okay? I don't know. It's complicated," she smiles sheepishly.

"You like me? God, you sound like a middle schooler, Linetti." Rosa responds, smiling widely.

"Oh, come on!" Gina laughs. "Look, this is all new to me, okay? I've never felt this way before. I'm still figuring all this out."

Rosa nods knowingly. "So, what happens now?"

"This," Gina smirks before grabbing Rosa's face and pulling Rosa's lips to hers.

She gasps softly as she feels Rosa's hands grip her waist and pull her closer, intensifying the kiss. They move in sync until they are pressed against the apartment wall, Gina leaning into Rosa's body. Fire fills Rosa's soul as she fades into the feeling of Gina's body on hers. Rosa tightens her grasp on Gina's hips, not wanting to let go of her or the feeling just yet.

A few hours later, Gina feels her eyes flutter open. She blinks in the darkness trying to collect herself as the TV hums quietly in the background. She looks down at Rosa snoring softly with her head in Gina's lap, their fingers laced together. They had fallen asleep together on the couch.

"Rosaaaa," Gina says softly, brushing Rosa's curls out of her face. "Roro, wake up."

"What?" Rosa groans sleepily.

"We fell asleep," Gina smiles.

Rosa opens her eyes and sits up.

"Shit, I gotta go," she says, suddenly noticing the time. She gets up to collect her things.

"Rosa, what? It's like 2 in the morning."

"I know. And I have work tomorrow. I need to get home."

"It's the middle of the night. You're not leaving."

"You want me to stay? Here?" Rosa feels herself blush as she asks the question.

She'd stayed at Gina's apartment pretty late a few times before, but she had yet to spend the night.

"Yeah," Gina shrugs. "You can just leave in the morning to go back to your place and get ready for work."

"I don't know, Gina I—"

"Rosa, pleaseeeee!" Gina interrupts.

"Fine," Rosa sighs, melting at the sight of Gina's pleading eyes. She makes her way back over to the couch and lays down with her head in Gina's lap.

"Night, Roro," Gina smiles, stroking Rosa's hair.

"Night, Gines," Rosa sighs before drifting off to sleep.
