Rosa Diaz was working late with her coworker and best friend, Amy. There was always something about Amy that Rosa was obsessed with, she didn't know what it was about her but she would get butterflies every time she saw Amy. It was a feeling that Rosa had never felt with anyone else. She felt safe around Amy, like If the world were collapsing she would still be happy if Amy was there with her. She didn't know what this feeling was called so in her mind she called it her "Am-otions" that's how she knew it was serious because word play was not her thing. Rosa would sometimes find her self staring at Amy, wondering how to get rid of these feelings but every hair tuck, every nerdy dance, and every second she saw her she just fell more in love

"Are you staring at me?" Asked Amy. "Oh god is there something on my face? I knew I should've moved out of the way when Jake tried to start a food fight"
"Uh... no" said rosa quickly. "I was just thinking about the case" she lied
"Oh well did you come up with anything?" Asked Amy.
"Not exactly" replied rosa.
Amy left to print something and Rosa couldn't take her eyes off her she had tried everything to get rid of these feelings but nothing ever worked.
"Good news!!" Amy shouts while running from the printer but before she could get back to the desk she trips and falls into Rosa's lap
"Oh my god I'm so sorry" said Amy apologetically
"It's ok" said rosa nervously while the butterflies in her stomach flapped around nervously "you know what Ames? I think we should leave the case for tomorrow... do you want to go to Shaw's and get a drink?"
"Yeah, I'd like that" smiled Amy.

Amy would take any chance she could to hang out with Rosa. Growing up with seven brothers she didn't have many strong women in her life so when she met Rosa, the strongest women she's ever known, she was very excited. It didn't take her long to see Rosa as a role model, someone she wanted to be like. She'd often imagine Rosa going with her to pick out new binders at the stationary store but that was just a fantasy she had.

When they arrived at the bar Amy sat down and Rosa went to get drinks. When Rosa returned she saw some guy hitting on an obviously uncomfortable Amy
"Leave. Now." Rosa threatened
"Why? Is she your girlfriend or something" the guy scoffed
"Yes! She is my girlfriend" Amy said quickly "so please leave us alone"
"Fine." He rolled his eyes and slid a piece of paper across the table to amy "but you have my number when you get over this gay phase"
Rosa sat down and gave Amy her drink
"So... girlfriend?" She said nervously
"Yeah... sorry I just wanted him to leave" Amy said
"No I'm the one who's sorry you shouldn't have had to deal with him. But I'm here now and anyone who goes near you will get their toes cut off and stabbed into their eyes"
Amy looked both horrified and comforted. She leaned her head against Rosas shoulder.
"Thanks Rosa, I appreciate it" Amy smiled. Rosa could barely breathe. All she ever wanted was to get closer to Amy but never knew how to. It just wasn't like her to feel... emotion. Amy looked up at Rosa and their eyes met. They could've looked into each others eyes for hours. They both felt safe, and happy. They kissed.
