bullets and bouquets

Gianna wakes up the next morning and turns away from the light that shines through the windows. She then sits straight up when she realizes Sabrina is sleeping next to her. Sabrina wakes up from Gianna's movement.

"Hey," she mumbles.

"Hi," Gianna answers, "This might be a weird question, but... I slept over?"

"Not officially," the blonde answers, "You fell asleep at the end of the movie. Sadie told me you could stay the night."

"Oh, okay," she says, "I don't even remember falling asleep."

"Yeah, it was cute," Sabrina smiles. Gianna blushes, "We didn't do anything last night either. Just so you know."

"No, I know," Gianna says, "I was just confused. Last thing I remember was lying on your chest and holding your hand."

Sabrina blushes. Gianna lies back down and the two face each other in bed.

"Sabrina?"

"Yeah?"

"I don't want you to leave," Gianna says. Sabrina's heart skips two beats.

"I know," she frowns, "But I have to go back to work. You could come back to Greece with me."

"I have school," the brunette replies.

"Oh, yeah," the blonde sighs, "What about the weekends?"

"I guess," Gianna sighs, "I wish you didn't live so far."

"I'm sorry," she answers, "But we could go out on a date this weekend. Wherever you want."

The girl smiles, "Okay."

The two stare at each other in silence. Gianna's eyes dart down to Sabrina's lips. Sabrina then looks down at hers. The blonde sits up and leans forward.

"Is this okay?" Sabrina asks.

Gianna nods, "Please."

The blonde leans down and plants a kiss on her lips. Her heart beats so fast it skips more than one beat. Gianna brings her hand up to Sabrina's head, putting her fingers in the blonde's hair. She pulls Sabrina's body over so the blonde is on top of her.

Sabrina stops though. She's afraid that this will just turn into another friends-with-benefits situation. She really likes Gianna and doesn't want to ruin it.

"Maybe... maybe we should wait," Sabrina says.

"You don't want to?" Gianna asks. She isn't trying to pressure Sabrina into anything but is now nervous and thinks that Sabrina doesn't like her in the same way.

"I mean... I do, but..."

"But what?" Gianna asks softly.

"I'm scared."

"Scared? I don't bite. Unless you want me to..."

The two laugh, "No, I mean, I'm scared that this might turn into another hookup-only relationship. And I really like you."

Gianna blushes.

"I really like you too, Sabrina," she says, "I don't think I could be just a hook-up with you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I don't normally do hookups anyways. If I didn't like you I wouldn't want to sleep with you," Gianna explains bluntly.

"Oh," Sabrina answers.

"Hookups are fine, I mean! For other people! I just... I get emotionally attached," the girl explains further. She didn't mean to offend Sabrina.

"No, I get it. I just... I've never gotten this far in like a real relationship," the blonde replies.

"Oh, okay," she smiles, "Will you kiss me again?"

"Your wish is my command."

Sadie walks out of her bedroom, finding Jenna and Emma already up.

"Hey," she greets.

"Rough night?" Jenna grins. Sadie looks at her confusedly, "Bella is usually already awake with you."

Sadie tries her hardest to not blush, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Sure you don't," the former gang leader laughs, "Emma's leaving here soon, just waiting on the call from your pilot."

"You can give her a ride on the motorcycle, I'll have someone drive her bags over," Sadie smiles. Emma becomes excited.

"Yes!" she cheers. Natalia and Robin come down from the fourth level.

"We're gonna head out now," Natalia announces. The two walk over and begin to say their goodbyes.

"Thank you for coming," Sadie hugs the gang leader.

"Of course. Let me know if you're interested in trainees," she replies. Robin then hugs Sadie.

"Take care, call us if you need anything at all," Robin tells her.

"I will. Have a safe flight," the redhead says. The two head out to the garage. Sadie's men will drive them to their pilot who will fly them back to their mansion. Jenna answers her phone.

"All right, we'll be there soon," she answers, "Ready to go?"

"Yeah," Emma replies, "Thank you for letting me stay here, Sadie."

"Of course, you are always welcome here," the redhead responds.

"Tell Bella, I said bye," she says. Jenna and Emma then walk out to the garage. The former gang leader gives her girlfriend a helmet.

"You ready?" she asks. She gets on Sadie's motorcycle. Emma sits behind her, wrapping her arms around her girlfriend.

Jenna pulls out of the driveway and begins their drive to Sadie's pilot on the coast. Jenna likes to drive fast and she smiles as she hears Emma behind her.

"Whoo-hoo!" the girl cheers, "Will you slow down? I wanna take a picture."

Jenna obeys and Emma takes her phone out. She holds the phone out and snaps a couple of pictures of her sitting behind Jenna while the former gang leader drives.

"Okay, you can go fast now," Emma says. She leans her helmet against Jenna's shoulder as she speeds up. It takes about thirty minutes to get to the coast where the pilot is located. Emma's bags are already loaded in the jet when they arrive.

"You're gonna call me when you land, right?" Jenna asks.

"Of course," the blonde answers. She pauses before a tear falls from her eyes.

"Baby, don't cry," Jenna takes her girlfriend into her arms, "It's gonna be okay. We'll see each other soon, okay?"

She wipes Emma's tears away.

"I know, I know. Staying here was so fun. I'm just going to miss you," she says. Jenna kisses her cheek.

"I know, love, but you have to go be a famous actress," the former gang leader smiles, "My famous actress."

Emma takes a deep breath, "Okay. I love you, Jenna."

"I love you too," the girls kiss again before Emma gets onto the jet. Emma waves through the jet's window as Jenna rides away on Sadie's motorcycle. She gets out her phone to post a picture on Instagram. It's the photo of her and Jenna on the motorcycle. Jenna has a helmet on, so no one can tell it is her. She captions the post "mi amor".
