A/N Sorry this has been forever! School has just been crazy busy and I haven't really been inspired. Here it is though. I know Maureen may seem OOC at the beginning, but I think she gets back to normalish towards the end. One more part left I think! R&R please! BTW, I don't own RENT unfortunately

After walking the several blocks from the restaurant to Joanne's apartment, the women were feeling a bit awkward. Should Joanne ask Maureen to join her? Maureen had a boyfriend, but she had already said yes to lunch.

"Would you like to come up to my apartment?" asked Joanne.

"Sure", Maureen said as she grabbed onto Joanne's hand.

Joanne was surprised at this interaction. Something about their hand holding felt natural. Their fingers interconnected, thus forever interconnecting their lives. When they finally climbed up to Joanne's apartment, Maureen felt a rush of butterflies in her stomach. Should she do this? She'd never been with a girl completely sober like this.

"Well here's my apartment", said Joanne as she let go of Maureen's hand to get her keys. She nervously rattled through her purse to find the keys. Why was she so nervous? She had taken girls home before. She had even had one or two one night stands. This was different though.

As Joanne opened the door, Maureen was shocked to find how nice the apartment was. It had been decorated quite nicely and was much different than the loft.

"Make yourself at home", Joanne said. "Would you like something to drink? I have wine or beer."

"Umm could I have a beer please?" Maureen responded as she made herself comfortable on the couch. She looked around and began to observe everything; she noticed the framed high school, college and law school diplomas, the pictures Joanne had with famous dignitaries that Maureen loathed, and on the coffee table, she noticed the Playbill from when she was in Cats. When she looked closer, she noticed that the page where her headshot was on was opened. "Wow", Maureen thought, "has she really been thinking about me?"

Joanne came back a few minutes later and saw how gorgeous the brunette looked. She sat down and gave a beer to Maureen.

"Thank you so much!" Maureen exclaimed as she chugged the beer. "So I saw that you were looking at my headshot…"

"Yeah I was! This might sound creepy but I can't stop looking at it. You are so pretty. You're more than pretty though. You're stunning. I can't keep my eyes off of you."

"Are you serious? You really think so?"

"Think so?! I know so. Your eyes are piercing. Your smile makes me smile instantly. Your laughter is contagious. I just want to run my fingers through your hair", Joanne said as she blushed and began to run her fingers through Maureen's curly, brown hair.

Maureen began to purr like a kitten, but was ready to pounce on her like a tiger.

"Is that all?" Maureen said sensually.

"Well, when I'm not looking at your face, I look at your tits. And then at your ass. You have a very nice ass." Joanne said as she began to rub her hand on Maureen's thighs.

Even though Joanne was a woman, when guys said this, Maureen knew what to do next. She began to make out with the lawyer. Their kiss felt like fireworks, like peanut butter meeting the jelly or peas and carrots...it just felt right. Kissing led to more and soon both girls were naked in Joanne's bed. Maureen may not have been a virgin but Joanne was taking her straight identity.
