Chapter Text
They were all sat around in the briefing room; Hitchcock and Scully had just wheeled in on their chairs and were eating some slightly old donuts, Boyle was watching Jake and Amy flirt and giggle together, Gina had her feet up on the table and was filing her nails, and Rosa was sat next to her, completely in her own world. She was thinking about the time she'd been spending with Alicia recently, and all the cute dates they'd been on. Picnics, cinema dates, coffee dates, walks in the park... it's been incredible. Rosa is snapped out of her happy daydream by Terry and Holt walking into the room, ready for briefing. Holt took a seat front row, while Terry went and stood behind the podium.
"Happy Monday everyone! Baby Ava just wouldn't sleep last night, I'm running on pure coffee and yogurt, let's do this! Everybody else have a good weekend? Jake? Amy? What did you two do?" Terry said, practically shaking. He must've had a lot of coffee, Rosa thought.
"Well, we spent some time in the bedroom and found this one thing I do just-" Jake began, a mischievous glint in his eye, before Amy quickly swept in and covered his mouth with her hand, blushing.
"We just... chilled around the house, watched some netflix, that sort of stuff," Amy stuttered. Gina raised her eyebrows at this.
"Aah, the good Netflix and chill. I see you. I see you," Gina said, winking at them, which caused Amy to blush even more. Jake just pointed finger guns back at Gina. You can tell they grew up together.
"Great..." Terry said, awkwardly trying to take control again. "Rosa? What about you?" And before she even has time to really think about what she's saying, Rosa replies.
"I went out to the cinema with my girlfriend," Rosa said, freezing after she realises what she said. Was Alicia her girlfriend?
"Get it girl! Girlfriend! Yes!" Gina said, pulling out her phone and getting her infamous Holt speaker app, and began repeatedly playing 'Get. Some. Get. Some.'
"I think that's enough," Holt interrupts. Gina puts her phone back into her pocket, whispering "get some" one last time. "Rosa, I think it's great you've reached that level with Alicia-" at this, there were some woops, the loudest being from Jake, "but please, keep it together. This is a workplace." At least Holt was being normal.
As the briefing continued, Rosa was thinking about Alicia. It's only been a few weeks, but Rosa has never felt this way about anybody. Smiling, she settles into her chair and begins to pay attention to the briefing.
----------------------------
Alicia didn't mind talking with her passengers - in general, as long as they weren't too over the top and they didn't have any ridiculous opinions or hats, she had no problem engaging in some friendly conversation - but from the second he walked in, this guy had just given her the creeps. For starters, he was wearing a fedora. Who wears fedoras unironically? This guy, apparently. He kept up an almost constant flow of chatter, with Alicia occasionally contributing the odd "mm-hmm" or "wow, fascinating". Eventually, they pulled up at his destination, and the guy grabbed his wallet to pay her.
"Hey, this was great. I feel like we had a real connection here. How would you like to come in and talk a bit more?" he asked, smiling, although the smile had too many teeth and his eyes were too wide.
"I don't think my girlfriend would be too happy about that," Alicia replied. This seemed to scare the guy off and he left, just quickly nodding a goodbye. It wasn't until Alicia had pulled away and was driving to her next pick up that Alicia really thought about what she had said. Was Rosa her girlfriend? It's only been a few weeks, but Alicia has never felt this way about anybody. Smiling, she settles into her seat and begins to keep an eye out for her next passenger.
