Villa's POV

I've been working this case for three days now and I still haven't caught a break. And worst part is the more days and time spent on this case means more bodies drop. So here I am at 12 in the afternoon interrogating this white asshole. " where were you at 2:00 in the morning, wensday July 5?!"

This comer mierda just sat there arms crossed without an inch to make or move or an  ounce of words to mutter. I was losing my mind.

Yanking a hand through her hair and releasing a puff of air. She storms out of the interrogation chamber declaring she needed a break. She made her way to her desk taking a seat into her chair and letting out a long breath.

The man was guilty. she could sense it, and her gut is never wrong. But they didn't have enough evidence. At this point she didn't know how they'd be able to convict him.

I felt a hand make it's way up my arm and I popped my head up. There stood Rosie, smiling. "Hi, Villa."

I smiled up at him. "Hi, what's up? I thought you were busy at the lab today."

"I was, I just stopped by to see you. But you don't look too happy. Is the case a tough one?"

She groaned in annoyance, yea. And the problem is that we don't have enough evidence and without a confession; we are back at square one.

Well I'm sorry for your crappy day. But, I hope you're in a better mood by tonight. Momma is insisting I bring my mysterious new girlfriend over for dinner.

"Won't she be surprised to see me? Villa asked."

"I hope not." Rosie leaned down and kissed Villa's forehead. "See you tonight, love."

Villa rolled her eyes at his antics. "I'll be there."

The doorbell rang at exactly 5:30 in the evening. "I'll get it," poppy called out. She open the door to find her brother standing there, alone. " where's your girlfriend?" Momma said I can't let you in unless you brought her.

She's caught up at work. She'll be here soon.

Poppy allowed him to enter in. "Fair enough. But you're explaining it to momma."

"I can handle momma." He headed into the kitchen. "Hey, Momma."

"Hi, sweetie. Where's your girlfriend? I thought you said we'd be meeting her tonight."

"And you will. She just got caught up at work. Once she is done, she'll come."

"She better. I've been waiting to meet her for months. You must be pretty serious if you've waited this long to introduce her."

"Yes i am. Don't worry, Momma. You'll love her." His phone beeped, signaling he had received a text. He fished his phone out of his pocket and checked his message. "She is on her way."

"Wonderful, I'll get the lasagna out of the oven."

Seven minutes later, the door bell rang. Rosie hurried to get it. But puppy beat him. She opened the door with a smile that soon turned into a dropped jaw when she saw who was standing there.

Annalise Villa stood on the porch, holding a bottle of  red wine. "Hi, Pippy. Sorry I'm late. A break was made in the case right as I was about to leave. But I bought wine. She smiled and slipped past a shocked Pippy, kissing Rosie on the cheek as she passed him. "Hey."

"Hi, Momma's in the kitchen."

Villa nodded in acknowledgement. "I hope everyone drinks red," she murmured.

"Oh, we do," Rosie assured her. "My family appreciates a good red."

"Villa is your mysterious girlfriend?!" She whispers-yells. "How did I not catch on?! She's at the lab every day."

Rosie shrugged. "We can be professional, you know."

"Villa! I didn't know you were coming over tonight."

Rosie looked a bit uncomfortable. "I should go." He made a beeline for the kitchen, Pippy following close behind.

When Villa entered the kitchen, Momma Rosewood looked up from cutting the pan of lasagna into squares. "Villa! I wasn't aware you were coming over tonight," she greeted her.

"Oh. Well, Rosie told me I was expected at dinner tonight." Villa held out the bottle in her grasp. "I brought wine, and sorry I'm late."

Rosie approached Villa, placing a hand on her waist. "Ready to open that bottle?"

Villa leaned into his touch ever so slightly. "Got any glasses?"

"Course we do. I'll get them."

"Beaumont Rosewood Junior. Have you been hiding your girlfriend from me in plain sight?"

"No?"

Momma shook her head "let's eat"

Dinner was amazing. The lasagna was divine and paired with the red wine wonderfully. Villa made jokes making momma and Pippy laugh the night away. As dessert time approaches Villa and Rosewood offer to get it from the oven.

After pulling the pie out and setting it on the counter, Rosie wraps his arms around villa's waist. "They love you."

Villa leans back into him, "I guess I was nervous about nothing."

"Baby, they already liked you. So, I knew they'd love you."

Wrapping her arms around him she leaned in for a kiss. A clearing of someone throat brought them back to reality.

Villa pulled away quickly, momma rosewood at the entrance "is dessert coming soon? We can wait."

Rosie loosened his grip from villa allowing her to move away from him. "Dessert will be out in just a moment."

Momma raised her eyebrows "it better be or I'm coming to check."

Villa started cutting up slices "you gonna help me with these?"

"Of course."
