So i know i haven't done anything from the other story, but i'm giving it a break, i'm just doing this story for now. Sorry/
Hope you like :) x
*Bzzz bzzzz* Gail hates mornings, the fact that her alarm had to be the thing that wakes her up. She'd rather stay in be today. "Gail, wake up you're going to be late."
"Yea yea I'm coming, be there in five"
She's one of those people that just isn't a morning person. "Dov, what day is it today?" "Seriously Gail, you can't even remember the day? You need help man" "Shut it doosh, not my fault I got drunk last night." "I wasn't the one who made you drunk, did it on your own that time" "whatever doosh" her friends really do wind her up sometimes. "By the way Gail it's Tuesday." Gail happens to get into habits of getting drunk on work nights. More like she gets hammered.
"Sup Gail" "hey man. Did ya know it was Tuesday today. I swear it was Monday." "Haha no-one at the penny got as drunk as you did last night. We all though we was gong to have to carry you out." After her heavy night drinking she realized she needed to cut her drinking down "how embarrassing" "haha you should have seen yourself. Oh your with Oliver today" "thank god, least I know my day won't go too bad" since the incident between Andy and Gail. Gail has been avoiding Andy by doing shifts that Andy isn't doing. "Don't be too happy, it isn't just you two though. McNally is swapping with him at lunch" "fuck, why? Can't she be with someone else? That's the last thing I want." "As long as you don't kill her, you'll be ok... Make sure you don't kill her." "Ha funny Chris and I'll try not to."
"Gail, guess who your working with this morning?" "Haha let me guess... You!" "haha yup. Should be fun" "as long as I don't have to run, yea it'll be awesome" Oliver and Gail have always got along. People say they make the best working partners. "This morning us two are going to check out something and you and McNally are gonna finish off checking it and stuff this afternoon." Just as Gail thought her day was going to get better she realizes that she's stuck with the one persons she doesn't want to be near. In the same place.
"Hey Ollie, who's that?" "Who?" "Ya know the person walking towards us" just as holly walked into the room both Gail and Oliver stared. "Oh her, never seen her before. Though I did get told that we might be getting us a new pathologist or whatever they're called. Though she looks to pretty." "Oh my god stop drooling. You're freaking me out with your drooliness"
"Steve. There you are, who's that new person, wondering round here?" "Urrmm... Oh you meant the pathologist, she's new to 15 and she works with a couple other people as well. Why?" "Oh nothing just wondering" "okay, well you get to meet her anyways now, you need to go down to the morgue to check something for me." "Ugh why can't you do it?" "Because.. Well I got to go do something." "Whatever.. Just... Ugh never mind."
"Hello? Anyone here? Jesus it's like a freezer version of a grave yard." "Haha your not the only one" as Gail hear the voice behind her, she jumped realizing someone was behind her. "Jesus you scared me" "sorry. You looking for me?" "Dunno, you the pathologist lady thing?" "I'll take that as a your looking for me" "do you work down here?" The look of the place brought both discomfort and yet peace to Gail. "yea it's my job." "Oh okay whatever." "Holly." As holly introduced herself Gail just stared. "Huh? Oh right sorry. Gail." "Nice name." Both just stared at each other for a second. Not moving just staring. "Jeez thanks. Not so bad yourself. Name wise." "Haha thanks" "so you got what I'm looking for?" "Have to run some test first. Might take a couple minutes." "Take your time nerd." "Already got a nickname for me.. And you barley know me" "your a nerd." "Jeez thanks" as holly was sorting out the paperwork for the officer. Gail just stood in awe at the woman. Admiring her name. And the way she works. As holly was handing Gail the paperwork she noticed her staring. "Here ya go... Gail?" "Huh what? Oh yea thanks" mesmerized by holly. Gail just stood there not moving. "Hey so look. I don't wanna go back up there, so can I hang here for a while? Ya know till Steve gets back from what he's doing." "Just met and you wanna hand out? Haha sure I don't mind." "Thanks."
"Haha is that really what happened? He just walked out on you? Jesus. Ya see that's why I don't like men." "Me either, they're so annoying." Not realizing what holly meant. She continued. "I mean I'm a lesbian." "Oh. I just don't like people." After finding out that slight detail about holly Gail just brushed it off. "Give me your phone" lost Gail slowly handed holly her phone. "Okay?" "Ok here, text me" "you put your number in my phone?" After a minute of staring at her phone holly spoke up. "I gotta make friends some how" "I've never really had a friend" "yea you have. You got me" both just looked at each other for a moment. Then Gail stood up and started walking away. Before she walked out she spoke up. "Thanks. Means a lot."
Gail: awesome nerd. Really?
Awesome nerd: haha yea. You like?
Gail: different but don't mind I guess
Awesome nerd: haha good.
Gail: what you doing tonight?
Awesome nerd: just met and asking me out? Wow I feel special. Don't think I'm doing anything.
Gail: funny. Wanna come to the penny? I got nothing to do and I'm stuck with someone I don't like at the mo, just need to chill.
Awesome nerd: sure thing. Want me to pick ya up?
Gail: you don't know where I live.. Do you?
Awesome nerd: haha no but I'll be designated driver and come pick you up. You sound like you've had a rough day.
Gail: I'm not getting drunk on my own. I'll meet you there. Take a cab
Awesome nerd: sure thing. See you later xo
Gail: haha okay
During their conversation Gail realized that holly was different. She wasn't like anyone else she had met.
Awesome nerd: don't kill anyone fyi ;)
Gail: way to cheer me up lol
After realizing that holly was joking Gail just stayed looking at her phone when she got interrupted by a voice "Gail.. Shifts over. You can go home." "Cheers McNally. Whatever ya say" "do you have to keep being bitchy to me" "you know what yes I do. I thought I could trust you. You broke the code. And now I'm not happy. As you can see so just leave me alone."
Gail: hey I'm on way to the penny.
Awesome nerd: okay well I'm there. I'll wait outside for you.
Gail: sure thing thanks :)
Awesome nerd: no problem xo
As Gail was in the middle of her thoughts she got interrupted. "Miss? We're here." "Oh right thanks. Here." As Gail got out of the cab she couldn't see holly anywhere. About a couple seconds later, she spotted her leaning against a wall. "Hey nerd." "Hey Gail." "What no nickname for me?" "No not yet. I'm thinking." "Haha okay then." "So did ya kill anyone?" "Funny and no I didn't though I wanted to." "At least you didn't. That's a good thing" "I guess so. Though I wish I did sometimes." During their conversation. Gail got deep into thought. So deep that she couldn't hear holly till she was snapped out of it. "Gail? Hello?" "What did I do?" "You were staring." "Oh sorry.. Didn't mean to." "No worries. Hey so you wanna get outa here. We drank a lot and I'm not sure bout you but I wanna watch some tv." "Wouldn't take you as the tv type." "Haha funny. C'mon let's go"
"Your place isn't too bad" "thanks. I'm never here so that's why it's clean." As Gail was looking around Holly's apartment. Holly was busy in the kitchen. "Lucky you live on your own." "How?" "I live with two guys that are always fighting over the xbox." "Haha good point. Want something to eat?" "Sure whatcha got?" "Eggs. Toast. Pizza." "Don't like eggs, and I'm allergic to tomatoes." "Order in?" "Haha sure thing. Oh can we have Chinese?" "Yeah why not."
*ding ding* just as Gail was resting on Holly's couch. The door Bell went off. "I'll get it... Omg it looks so good. Holly it's here. Where did ya go?" "Be out in a sec. Just changing into sweats." "Okay but hurry up I might eat it all" just as Gail was debating whether to start or not holly walked out. "Hey." "Hey nerd. Glad your out. Thought I might have had to eat it all by myself." "Now I wouldn't let that happen. I need to eat too ya know."
"Gail? You awake?" "Mmm." "Hey" "mm hey nerd" "funny Gail. Hey you wanna stay the night? You look really tired." Just as holly said that she realized that it probably wasn't the best idea she's ever come up with. "I don't wanna be a hassle. I mean you've stuck up for me so far, I'm surprised to be honest." "You're not as bad as you think you know. A bit crazy maybe but I can stand anything. Even you" "haha funny nerd. I like you. Your an awesome friend." "Thanks. Now let's get you set for bed." Holly knew what she was getting herself into. She just didn't want to do anything about it.
"So you gonna be alright in here?" "Yea thanks" "okay. The bathroom is that door there. Have a good night." "Hey holly?" "Yeah?" "Thanks. For everything. It means a lot." "No problem. I'll be in the other room." "Night nerd." "Night blondie." "Haha finally came up with a nickname. Not the best I've heard but it'll do." "Cheers. Night."
When holly got into bed, all she could think about what's Gail. They was she walked, looked, talked. Everything about her. During her thoughts she was interrupted with a nock at her bedroom door. *nock nock* "Yea?" "Hey sorry did I wake you?" "No I haven't got to sleep yet. You okay?" "Yeah I just couldn't sleep. Can I stay in here with you please?" Just as Gail said that, she knew that Gail was going to be the death of her."Yeah sure." "Thanks holly." "Wow." "What?" "Either you're tired or being nice, but you didn't call me nerd for once." "Don't tell anyone nerd." "And she's back." Holly defiantly knew what she was getting herself into. As se was settling down in bed. She noticed that Gail had already fallen fast asleep.
That next morning Gail woke up to an empty bed. Gail, being her usual self, thought that holly had got fed up with her and ran. Thinking this she called for holly. "Holly?" "Hey sleepy head. Your awake. Thought I'd have to come and pour water over you to wake you up." "Haha funny. I'm totally laughing. Where'd ya go?" "Made us coffee. Assuming what you're like during the day, your probably worse in the morning." "Thank god. Your a lifesaver." "Well I wouldn't want you dying on me blondie." "Again I'm totally laughing. Nerd." Knowing that holly didn't leave, Gail relaxed. Both drinking their coffee, with Gail still in bed.
"Well you don't look hungover. I'm guessing you've had coffee. Don't look tired. You defiantly didn't stay out drinking all night." "Shut up dweebs. Thought your day off was tomorrow?" "We swapped with Andy and nick." "Of course you did" "well you never came home last night, we were worried. Anyways who'd ya stay with?" "a friend. Non of your business dweeb." "Just a friend?" "Yes. The pathologist holly. I was too tired to come home last night, so I stayed at hers if you must know." "Okay okay, just wondering." "Whatever. See ya later." As Gail walked off from her friends, she when to her room and slammed the door. Knowing that they would take it as a sign to not
Interrupt her.
Gail: I'm home. As you wanted to know.
Nerdy H: glad you okay xo
Gail: btw changed your name in contacts
Nerdy H: it better be good lol :)
Gail: how's nerdy h?
Nerdy H: funny. Not too bad for you ;)
Gail: Nerd
Nerdy H: I know lol
After her conversation with holly, Gail knew that there was something different about her. The way that holly didn't get fed up with her quickly, or the way she laughed at Gail's snarky comments, or the way she never got
Offended by what Gail said to her. She was defiantly different to Gail. And Gail liked that.
"FUCK!" "Gail you alright?" "Ah shit. I'm fine just walked into the dresser. Get me an icepack?" "Why were you walking round your bedroom for?" "Stuff it doosh an get me an icepack." "Haha whatever Gail. Though you have been nicer since you got back from your friends." "Shut it. Non of your beeswax." "Haha see ya ice queen" "AND STOP CALLING ME THAT." Gail hated the name ice queen. On fact she was actually warming up too Holly's nickname for her. Gail thought it sounded less mean. Gail hated the fact that people looked at her like she was cold hearted.
*bzzz bzzzz* Gail really does hate mornings. Especially if their not with holly. In fact Gail had really started to warm up to holly in the last couple days. *bang* "turn that damn thing off" "yea shut up dov. Your snoring is louder than my alarm." "Fuck you Gail." "No thanks. But nice try" "hardy ha ha."
"Hey Steve, need anything from the morgue today?" "Hey Gail. And nope, why you like it there? Dark and quiet for your iciness?" "Ugh shut up, god your so annoying. Anyways I'm going down there to just double check." "Do whatever you want. Just make sure your back in an hour ready for briefing and parade." "Yea yea whatever I'll make sure." Gail knew that she just wanted to go see holly. Sometimes have hate the fact that she couldn't stop thinking about her. Not that she didn't mind though when she was thinking of her.
"Do you always stand there and stare at new friends?" "Huh what? Oh right sorry." Holly knew she caught Gail in the act, and she didn't even mind. She kind of liked it. "So what you doing here. You don't need to be." "Oh.. Uh I just came to make sure that nothing was forgotten." "Well... I think we got everything done the other day." "I guess we did." Holly knew she was staring but she didn't care. And the thing was, Gail didn't even realize. "So what that the only reason you came down here to do?" "Guess not. Guess I wanted to see my friend. I haven't got many of them left." "But you still got me. So how long you got?" "Bout 45 mins." "Cool. You eaten breakfast?" Holly could tell if Gail ate breakfast by the look on her face. "Not really. I had a slice of toast." Here... Trust me, you'll like it." "Bloody hell. What is it, it's lovely?" "It's just a little something I like to make." "God you gots to make me more of this." "Haha. I guess you like it then." "Gowd I muves ip."
"Well looks like you might have to get ready for parade." "Ugh but I wanna stay. Don't wanna do anything today." Holly couldn't help but smile at the way Gail pouted. She knew she souls by think too much about Gail. Just from having to remind resell that Gail is straight. "When do you finish?" "Ugh I dunno 7 I think." "I finish at 8 if you want to come here after your shift?" Again holy was just causing a trap for herself but she didn't care. "I'd love that. Thanks friend." "Haha no problem, blondie. What you doing this weekend?" "Urrrmm nothing really. After today frank said I could take the rest of the week off and start again Monday." "Cool. I gotta work tomorrow morning, but if you wanna stay the weekend you can." "I don't wanna be too much of a pain. I've already stayed at yours this week." "Ah don't worry bout it. Gives you a break. You look like you need one." "Okay well I gotta go. Thanks hol it really means a lot." Just as Gail stood up she wet over and gave holly a hug. "No problem anytime. See you later."
Holly knew the only reason she did that was just so she could see more of Gail. She was always on Holly's mind, wherever she was.
"Oliver i really just wanna get this shift done and over with. I gots to go home sometime." "Jeez Gail. It's only four. You got another 3 ours to go yet. Don't complain too much." Gail knew that complaining too much would get Oliver to ask questions. All she wanted to do was to just see holly. "Okay so what are we doing then?" "We gotta go check out so druggies making sure they ain't doing anything then go patrol round town and we done. Well that's what frank told me we were doing anyways." "Oh fun. Ugh I just wanna go." "Don't we all Gail. Don't we all." There was something about holly that kept Gail thinking about her. For the first time in years, Gail was actually missing someone.
Near the end of their shift, Gail had, had enough. "Hey Ollie?" "Yea Gail." "Is it alright if I leave you now. We got 20mins left and I just wanna get outta here." "Yea sure no probs. nick isn't far from here. I'll go meet him." "Cheers Ollie. See ya later." "Yea bye."
When Gail turned up to see holly, she saw that holly was still working. During the time that Gail was thinking, holly had finished and had interrupted Gail's train of thought. "do you always stare at your friends boobs whilst they're working?" "Huh. What? I wasn't staring." "Haha whatever you say Gail." To Gail's disappointment she knew that she got caught and wouldn't get away with it. "Hey so I didn't bring any clothes so I was wondering if I could borrow some of yours?" "Yea sure. Remember I'm working till 10 tomorrow." "Yea. Whilst your working I'll go home and get my stuff if that's alright." "Sure thing. So whatcha wanna do tonight?" As holly asked that question, she walked closer to Gail. To sit next to her. Realizing that Gail wasn't listening and was on her own bubble, holly spoke up. "Gail? Hello? You in there?" "What sorry. Urm can we like I dunno watch a movie or something? Just chillax. I've had a boring day. And I bet you have too." "Tell me about it. Paper work all day." "I've been driving round the city all day." Gail was dragged into thought again, when she knew that holly just made her smile. She was dragged back out her thoughts when holly spoke. "Kay well I'm nearly done. Wanna go out for dinner?" "What?!" "Ya know just instead of take out." "Oh right yeah sure." "Cool. Let me get my stuff together then"
Since the moment they first met, holly has been mesmerized by Gail. Just everything about her made holly smile. Not to mention the fact that holly was falling hat for this girl. "This was awesome thanks." "No problamo." "Jesus who says problamo. That was like 1940's shit." "Haha whatever you say blondie" "cheers nerd" holly couldn't handle anymore of Gail without the urge to want to kiss her. She was really hoping that Gail would sleep in the other room. Not to mention the big urge to kiss her. "Wanna watch a movie?" "Yeah sure though I hate horrors." "Really. But being scared is the best bit." "Don't bully. If ya wanna watch a horror I don't care." "Haha okay blondie. Looks like you'll be needing a cuddle blankie." "Shut up." Holly was too far in thought thinking about Gail. That she never heard her talking to her. Holly was brought out of her thoughts when she just caught the end of what Gail was saying. "-so basically I was wondering if you wanted to come?" "Huh? Sorry what?" "I have to go to a wedding on my own. And I was wondering if you wanted to be my plus one?" "Oh right, yes I'd love to go." "Cool thanks. Soo what horror we watching?" "Well we got Saw, The Grudge. Haunted house. House at the end of the street. Urm and I think that's it." "You choose." "How scared do ya wanna be?" "Not too scared but I guess a little." "Haunted house it is."
During the end of the movie, holly noticed that Gail looked scared. She thought this was cute, and then got into thinking about what else was cute about Gail. She was interrupted when Gail stood up and said "Hey hol. I'm gonna head off to bed now. Great movie choice." "Yea okay. Remember where it is?" "Yup. So I'll see you in the morning." As Gail stood up she gave holly a hug, this making both of them smile. "Night." Holly sat down on her couch thinking for a moment. She then got up and headed to her room. As she entered she was surprised to see Gail on her bed. "hey. Sorry. I guess I just like the comfort of someone when I sleep." "No problem. As long as you sleep okay I'm okay." "Thanks." Holly knew Gail was going to be the death of her.
*bzzzz bzzzzz* when holly was comfy she hated to work. And having Gail sleeping next to her, made it even harder for her to want to get up. "Ugh turn that damn thing off holly." "Haha sorry Gail." "Do you have to go to work? I don't want you to go." "It's only for 3 hours. I think you'll survive." "And what if I don't?" Gail was flirting with holly and she knew it. But holly didn't mind. "Well I'll be sad. Won't i?" "Jeez just get to work nerd." "Sure thing blondie. Wanna coffee.?" "God please." "Don't think god can hear you but okay." "I haven't woken up yet. Leave me alone." She really didn't want to leave Gail. But she knew she ha to go to work. And it was only for 3 hours. "Hey hols remember the wedding is tomorrow. I'll meet you there." "But your staying here the weekend." "Chris and dov need me just before. I'm really sorry. I'll meet you by the bar." "Okay. Sure thing. I gotta go so I'll see ya later." "Okay have a good morning." "I'll try. just push the latch down before you leave, it'll lock the door." "Okaii. See you later."
"Hi holly." ""Hey mike. Working today?" "Yeah unfortunately." "Well I hope your day goes alright." "Thanks. And yours. Have you got the reports that we were after?" "Ah yes, give me two minutes and I shall be done with the last one." "Okay thank you holly." "No problem." Holly liked mike. He was one of those guys that were easy going. Or she just never saw him much. Yet still on her mind was Gail. All the time, she could think of Gail. "Here you go. All the reports you asked for." "Cool thanks holly." "No problem."
Blondie: hey how's your work doing?
Holly: not too bad, boring though
Blondie: want me to come cheer you up?
Holly: really?! You cheer someone up? ;)
Blondie: funny nerd. I'm bored.. How long you got left?
Holly: 1hr and a half
Blondie: are you doing anything?
Holly: nope just sat here for the next hour and a half.
Blondie: okay I'm coming to get you
Holly: why?
Blondie: coz I'm bored and you sound bored.
Holly: fair enough xo
Blondie: see ya in 10
Holly: okaii
"Dweebs I'm out." "Where ya going?" "None of your business. I'll see you tomorrow before the wedding." "Never go to a wedding alone Gail." "Funny dov. And I'm going with someone." "Who? You never told us." "Why would I want to tell you? And I'm going with a friend." "Firstly because we're your friends and secondly is it that holly girl?" "Whatever you say doosh. And yes if you must know it is." "Sweet. Well we'll see you tomorrow ice queen." "Stop calling me that." As the days got on she was starting to hate her old nickname and was actually warming up to her new one that holly gave her.
"That will be $10 miss." "Jeez..here ya go." Gail couldn't believe that it cost that much just for a 5 minute drive. "Excuse me miss, where do you think your going?" "Police mr. Gets out my way." "Sorry miss. Have a nice day." "Yea yea. You too whatever." Gail was surprising shocked at how nice the guard was toward her, even is she wasn't in uniform. But all that was on her mind was holly, and that's who she came to find.
"Sup nerd" "Hey blondie." "You okay?" "Yea thanks you?" "Ugh dov and Chris wouldn't stop bugging me, I had to get outa there." "Haha. You don't seem like the person to be bugged much." "It takes a lot to bug me. Well if your not them anyways." "Right okay then. You wanna go?" "Thought you'd never ask. I just wanna sleep." "Not even 11am and you already wanna go to bed." "Hey leave me alone nerd." Both got along very well even if they have only known each other for a couple days. They both acted like they knew each other for years.
During the drive back to Holly's, Gail couldn't stop moaning about how hungry she was. "Holly I'm hungry." "Well what do ya want?" "Bit of a silly question. I want food." "Jeez Gail that's helpful." "Sorry.. I dunno. Pizza?" "No tomatoes?" "You remembered." "Yea it's not difficult to forget. What type?" "How's BBQ?" "Cool. I'll go order." "Cheers nerd." Over the days of both of them hanging out Gail learned that holly has been able to tolerate her, better than she thought. She also learned that holly made her just herself when she was with her. And Gail liked this.
"Pizza's on its way. Should be here in 10." Gail could not stop thinking about holly and what she was wearing. And holly noticed her staring again. "Gail? You in there?" "Huh? What'd I do?" "You seemed out of it. And you were staring." "Again? Ugh sorry." "Don't worry bout it. Doesn't really bother me." "I'll try and get out of that habit." "Haha fine by me."
*nock nock* "I'll get it... Cheers. Keep the tip." All Gail could see was good and she just wanted to eat it all. "Yo holly it's here. Pizza. Here. Food. Hurry your ass in here." Gail couldn't believe holly wasn't there, holly knew she was hungry and yes she disappeared to go do something else. "Sorry... I was tidying my room. Someone made it a bit of a mess this morning." "Oh... Haha sorry." "Don't worry bout it. Let's eat I'm starving." "Haha funny nerd got get your own." "I will have my own if you let me get to it." "Have to come get it then." Just as Gail said this, she knew it would lead to flirting. Something she didn't want. "Your too slow for me blondie. I could out run you any day." "Good luck trying nerd." "OY blondie get back here, I want food." "Haha nope." Gail couldn't help but realize how much she was flirting with holly, she found it weird and yet normal all at the same time. All that was on her mind was holly. No one or nothing else just holly.
"Well I think we earned that pizza. After all the running you made me do." "Me? Your the one that decided to not give me any." "Haha good point. Well I'm gonna head off to bed." "Nope." "What?" "Movie first." "Really? You want me to watch a movie?" "Yes. I'm bored and I don't wanna watch it on my own." "Fffiiinnneee. But this one movie then I am going to bed." "Okay deal. Cheers Blondie." "No one hears of this. Okay?" "Haha sure thing." Even holly noticed the change in Gail when they were around each other. It kind of cheered her up knowing that Gail could be herself around holly.
Whilst Gail was sleeping holly couldn't help but admire it. She couldn't help the thought about how cute she was or the way she looked. Holly knew she had to wake Gail up as they needed to get ready for the wedding."Hey. Gail." "Mmhm" "wake up. It's the wedding today and you need to still get home." "Ugh right. Can I leave my stuff here? I can't be bothered to take it home?" "Yea sure. I'll put it in a draw for you." "Thanks holly your the best." "No problem Gail. So I guess I'll meet you there then?" "Yea. Take a cab. We're getting drunk." "Okay. See ya later blondie." "Yea whatever. Bye nerd."
Holly and no idea what to wear. She debated on a dress and a shirt and pants. The dress lost the debate. She chose on a white button up shirt with a couple black stripes ping parallel to the buttons.
*bzz*
Blondie: hey nerd. I'm leaving in 5
Holly: sure thing. I'm leaving now.
Blondie: ok see ya there
Holly: okaii xo
So this is chapter 1, hope ya like
