Part 2

Rosie suddenly looked up and smiled. Her boss always made her feel so good. So special. She always felt like she was wanted and needed in Robin Peter's presence, It was a different atmosphere for the young woman.

"Hi."

Hi. Ok, time for you to go home. Shut down and get ready to git. Um…Do you have any plans for dinner tonight?" Robin asked suddenly shy.

Rosie shook her head no as she shut down and pulled her purse out of her desk drawer, "No I don't Robin do you want to discuss anything?"

Robin smirked and replied, "Yep, the menu."

Rosie blushed and looked down at her hands, Oops, Did it again. Pretty soon I will need a crow bar to remove my foot from my mouth. Though Rosie morosely. She looked slowly up into amused sparkling blue eyes and said quietly, "Sorry."

Robin shook her head and leaned against the archway to the young woman's office, "Why are you sorry? Rosie, I just asked if you wanted to eat. We've been working really hard all week and I think you've done great. So what's wrong with relaxing and enjoying a casual dinner?"

Rosie smiled and asked shyly, " I've done ok then?"

Robin winked, "Yep, Come on lets go. I'm starved."

Rosie smiled and hopped up and left in front of her amused boss. Rosie felt like she was floating out of the building. Robin felt like she just hit a home run. I think its time for our little chat, Thought Robin as she followed her friend down the hall and out of her building.

They were now all settled at the restaurant having ordered and were chatting about this and that when Robin took a deep breath and thought, Ok, Its time to get this show on the road. "Rosie, I think we need to discuss a very special issue, But let me tell you up front you don't have to answer me. I want you to think about this. This is a personal issue and we have left our professional selves at the office. We are just friends ok?"

Rosie looked confused but not uncomfortable as she nodded, "Yes."

Robin then took another deep breath and closed her eyes for a second to steady her nerves her hart was beating wildly. She opened her eyes and met concerned green orbs, She smiled sweetly and said, " Ok, I need to tell you that I feel something deeper then just friendship for you. I…Rosie, I'm deeply in love with you and I need very badly to hear how you feel toward me. "She held up her hand as Rosie was about to interrupt her with a response, "Before you say anything please remember that's its just Rosie and Robin sitting here. I don't want to put any pressure on you…I…um…Just need to know that's all," Robin then closed her eyes and waited in agony for her loves response. I know it will be a gentle rejection but I really needed to get this out in the open. I wanted my dearest friend to know that I love her. Now all I have to do is wait.

If Robin's eyes were open she would have seen bright happiness and joy reflected on the face across from hers. Rosie reached out and took the older woman's hand caressing it gently. Robin's eyes flew open as she felt the gentle caress.

"I really love you Robin," Was said quietly from the girl across the table.

Robin swallowed a lump of emotion as she thought, Ok, Here goes the big hurdle. "Thank you Rosie but are you in love with me? There is a big difference my friend."

Rosie's eyes reflected the same intense emotions as her own making Robin feel like she was going to faint, Rosie's quiet voice filled her with joy as she responded quietly, "I'm deeply in love you Robin."

Robin wanted to jump out of her seat and sweep her up in her arms and kiss her deeply; Unfortunately the waiter brought there order right at that moment so all they could do was stare deeply into each others eyes as he set every thing down before them. After he left Robin said, "Thank God."

Rosie smiled at her and said, I have from the day you walked into Starbucks sat down with me and added purpose to my life."

"Oh my sweet love, You added happiness to mine."

Robin drove Rosie to her home and took her little hand leading her on a tour of her home watching for her reactions. Rosie seemed to love it, which made Robin very happy because she intended to ask the beautiful blonde to move in sooner or later. For right now she ended the tour by taking her to her favorite room her den. It was beautifully appointed room filled with books and leather furniture. The oak paneling was of set beautifully by the color of the books and the brightly colored throws on the couch and chairs it was the most comfortable room beside her bedroom. A perfect place to get to know each other in. Rosie was immediately drawn to the books absorbing all the titles, Robin smiled as she watched her knowing that they had reading in common too. Robin walked over to the couch, cleared her throat to get the younger woman's attention. She smiled and patted her lap arching an eyebrow in question.

Rosie understood and immediately obeyed, Happily snuggling back into Robin's loving arms.

Robin pulled her love as close to her as physically possible and gently started to kiss her neck making Rosie melt completely into the loving embrace.

"I love you so much, My Rosie, " She whispered into a delicate ear, gently licking the rim and nibbling the ear till she heard the young woman moan with desire.

Rosie swallowed several times as the sensations overwhelmed her she was finally able to squeak out a barely audible, "I love you too."

Robin smiled and pulled back so she could look into passion filled green eyes and asked suddenly shy, " Are you ready for the next step, Sweetheart?"

Rosie looked into passion filled eyes and hers suddenly filled with tears as she admitted, "I don't know….I have never…."

Robin gently wiped the tears and caressed the cheek as she sweetly replied, "Don't worry about that, Sweetheart. I only want to love you, I will guide you so slowly you will demand more. Lets try the first step, shall we?" She said with a huge smile as lowered her lips to the waiting slightly parted lips beneath her. Robin slowly deepened the kiss and sunk into the sweet softness thinking, God, If it feels like this with a kiss the good stuff might just kill me…What a way to go… Robin felt her love for Rosie swell in her heart as she brought her even closer to her.

Rosie felt like she was floating in a pink cloud, she felt so many emotions she need to anchor herself so she held on tightly to Robin as if she would just float off into the sky.

Robin ended the kiss when her lungs told her she needed to fill them again, She rubbed her cheek against Rosie's soft cheek and breathed in a full gulps of air, "I love you so much…Thank you for coming into my life. "She said breathlessly. She pulled back and looked deeply into love filled green orbs as she said, "I have never felt so happy and complete, Thank you my love, thank you."

"Oh no, Thank you Robin. I thought that this was only some illusion in books and in movies, but you just showed me it could happen to anyone. Do you feel like your heart is going to burst because you have so much love in it?"

Robin nodded and then kissed her nose then rubbing it with her own gently she replied, "Oh yeah, Oh God, I never felt like this either. You are so precious to me…How in the hell did I get so damn lucky,'

"You? I'm…I mean…you are so….I…"

Robin hugged the befuddled woman to her, "Oh Sweetheart, Your descriptive powers are at work again I see. Yes, my sweet I do mean me. I am so blessed to have you in my life. Um… Would you like to stay with me tonight? All we need to do is cuddle. I just want to hold you all night, I never, ever want to let you go, please," Robin asked quietly suddenly shy.

Rosie could only nod her head, she wanted that more then anything.

Robin looked into sparkling green eyes and her kissed her deeply again. As she continued the well-connected kiss she stood up, lifting the precious cargo attached lovingly to her. She gently carried her little one to her room to cuddle the night away.

Robin gently lowered on the bed and followed her to a cuddle position as she thought, I get to hold her all night. This is my dream come true. I have been dreaming of this from the day I first laid eyes on her. Oh God, I want more but she is so scared we have to go slow. Please God give me strength do this right. I love her so and I want her so I have to keep myself on the right path. One step at a time. You can do this Robin, Damn it. For her I'll do anything. Robin and Rosie parted, She asked, "Would you like to change into one of my tee shirts it would be the size of night gown on you?"

Rosie smiled and nodded as she looked around the beautiful blue and white room. Admiring it but her eyes kept coming back to its owner as she crossed to her dresser and pulled out a tee for the young woman. She held it out and said,"You can change in the bathroom I'll change here and then I'll wash up and we can have our cuddle,ok?" I have never been so nervous or shy in my life, Thought Robin as she watched Rosie take that shirt and go to her bathroom. She then slowly changed into her sleepshirt and shorts and thought, But it's never been so damn important to me, I building a life here instead o f tumbling into bed. I will build this life step by step each building block will be done with love. I can do this damn it.

I can do anything as long at that woman is my life…
