I would like to thank everybody who has taken the time to review and favor! It truly does mean a lot! It has been a while and I thank everyone who kept with the story! :) This chapter is slightly fluffy, just because I wanted a softer side to Rossi than the usual 'can't reach me' thing he has going on.

Garcia woke up in the middle of the night with a groan. She had been dreaming of Rossi and the dream had started a fire in her. She shook her head and tried to go back to sleep but all she could think of was the naked Rossi from her dream. She groaned and got up to make herself a cup of tea. What was she to do? All she could think of was how she had jumped to conclusions. Why couldn't she believe he actually felt something other than wanting a one night stand? She sighed deeply and was at a loss of what to do.

She rinsed her cup and padded towards her bedroom but stopped short when she heard a light knock. She looked through the peep hole and gasped when she saw the man she had been thinking about the whole night. She opened the door and remained speechless. Rossi stood there in his everyday stance, his hands in the back pocket of his jeans. He gave her a small smile, ''mind if I come in?'' he asked. Garcia shook her head and moved over to let him in. He made his way to the couch and sat down with his head bowed. She sat beside him and watched him wearily, ''Rossi-'' she started but he silenced her as he took her hands in his.

''Penelope, I apologize-'' he started but stopped when he saw her shake her head, ''I'm the one who should apologize. I don't exactly trust men and the fact that you have shown interest caught me off guard. I mean, the great David Rossi, FBI Legend, and legendary Lothario showing interest in the bubbly, perky, hippie tech? It doesn't make sense and I believed the worst and the rumors that came with you'' she said and got up to head over to the kitchen to make more tea.

Rossi followed her and just before she reached the counter, grabbed her gently and turned her towards him. ''Penelope, I know my actions have made you weary but trust me when I tell you that my intentions are pure towards you. I don't plan on taking you for a one night stand, I want to have a relationship with you. I know I'm older than you, and I have this reputation but I'm not that man anymore. I want to give this a shot, please give me a chance. Please don't shut me out of your life'' he said quietly.

Garcia smiled and hugged him. She felt him nuzzle her neck and kiss her cheek, ''why?'' she whispered. He sighed and looked at her, ''why not? You are bright and amazing and smart and simply irresistible. As Morgan would say 'I've fallen under your spell''' he replied. Garcia stood there, speechless at what he had said. It wasn't everyday that a man in Rossi's calibre said things like that t her, actually no one had ever declared their love to her.

Rossi moved slightly forward but then thought about it and moved back. ''Rossi, I have to ask. Why the hell are you here at 3 in the morning?'' she asked with a slight smirk and a raised eyebrow. He chuckled and gently took her hand to lead her to the couch. ''I couldn't sleep. I kept replaying the evening in my head and wondered where it went wrong'' he explained. She chuckled as she leaned against him, ''so you decided to drive up to my apartment at this time?'' she asked, her voice laced with sarcasm. He chuckled again, ''I figured you were probably unable to sleep too so I took a chance. Notice how I lightly knocked, in case you were asleep?'' he said.

Garcia looked up at him and smiled. Rossi cupped her cheek lightly and kissed her, cautiously at first but deepened the kiss. It became passionate and after a few minutes, Garcia had straddled him. He held her close to him, kissing down her jaw and nipping her neck before she brought his face back to hers. ''Stay tonight?'' she asked out of breath. Rossi nodded and claimed her lips once more before getting up, picking her up at the same time. She squealed but chuckled when resumed kissing him as he lead her to her bedroom. He laid her down and laid beside her, ''Cara. I want this so much but I don't want to start off our relationship on sex'' he said. Garcia nodded, ''I understand. How about we just get to know one another before getting into the hot, steamy, sex'' she said with a smirk. He chuckled, ''vixen'' he whispered before kissing her again.
