So this is something new I thought I would try. A couple of things gave me some ideas for this story.
Not sure if I will let this be a one shot or if I will see where it takes me as it is not my usual type of writing. So here is to hoping I can pull this one off
….
Waking up the next morning, Stella can feel the warmth of another body lying next to her. Opening her eyes she rolls over and sees that she is lying next to Shannon and she tries to think about what happened the night before.
"Hey, it's been a long day, do you wanna hang out with me tonight, there is this new club that I have been going to and you can come for a drink and some fun, watch me pick up." Stella says with a small smile.
"Yeah why not, it's been a while since I went out with you, let's go have some fun." Shannon says and they decide to catch a taxi there so they wouldn't have to leave their cars behind after consuming alcohol.
After not having much luck at picking up anyone, Stella asks "You wanna catch the cab home?"
"Yeah, we got work tomorrow." Shannon says as Stella grabs her hand and leads her out of the club to catch a taxi. Feeling a tingling sensation from the contact Stella knew it was more than just a friendship but she couldn't work out if it was due to the alcohol or if it meant something more.
After arriving back at Stella's place she invites Shannon to stay the night and they enter her apartment.
Putting her bag and jacket on the floor near the door with her shoes, Shannon looks at Stella enquiringly and asks "Do you have any spare blankets and pillows because your couch will become uncomfortable?"
"Just sleep in bed with me, it's not like anything will happen now will it." Stella says while getting dressed.
"I guess not." Shannon says catching the clothes Stella threw her way for her to change into.
Staring at each other both wearing a singlet top and shorts of Stella's they both walked towards each other and Stella wrapped her arms around Shannon's waist and Shannon placed her arms around her neck and slowly started to kiss each other which started to get heated pretty quickly.
Pulling away, Stella asks "Are you sure?"
"Yeah I am." Shannon replied and with that they both fell onto the bed and started making out.
Looking up at the roof, Stella decides to try and let Shannon sleep and slides out of bed as slowly and quietly as she could without disturbing Shannon from her sleep.
Getting ready for work, Stella makes sure she sets the alarm clock for Shannon to give her plenty of time to get ready to get to work. Without a seconds thought she grabbed her backpack and left.
Stirring just shortly after Stella has left, Shannon remembers all of last night and she can't help but feel happy about it which surprised her, she didn't think that she would feel these kinds of feelings for a female let alone Stella, but she couldn't help but notice how it just felt so right.
Rolling over she opens her eyes and notices that Stella isn't there in the bed or in the apartment. She notices that the alarm has been set for another half hour which was obviously set to give Shannon more time to get ready. She gets out her mobile and calls Christian.
"Hey Shannon, what's up?" Christian asks.
"I was wondering if you could possibly give me a lift to work, my car is still at base and it's a really long story." She says.
"Yeah sure, what time should I pick you up from your place?" he asks.
"Well that's the thing, I am at Stella's and like I said it's a long story, but I was hoping you could pick me up as soon as you can so I can go home and have a quick shower and get dressed for work." She says.
"Yeah sure, just send me the address and I will check my smses soon." He says.
"Thanks for this, I will see you soon." Shannon says.
'See ya." He says before hanging up.
…...
Walking into base later on with Christian with her, Shannon sees that Stella is already there and that she won't acknowledge Shannon at all or looks in her direction.
Annoyed that Stella won't look at her or talk to her, Shannon slams her locker shut and walks out of the room.
Looking up at the sound of the locker being slammed, she sees Shannon walk out of the room and sees Christian slightly shaking her head at her.
"Geez you can cut the tension with a knife." Michael says as Lawson makes sure they all know where they are going.
Heading towards TR2, Josh and Stella see Shannon in the car with one earpiece from her iPod in her ear and looking angry.
"Did you have a fight with her?" Josh asks Stella.
"Um, sort of, don't worry, it's under control." She says as they reach the car doors.
"Your eager today Shannon." Josh says hopping into the car and looking over at her.
"Yeah well we got a job to do and we can't do it standing at base all day chatting away." Shannon says with a menacing glare.
"Well how was your night last night, did you both get up to much last night? He asks.
"Don't need to talk about it, how about you tell us how your night was last night?" she asks and they start talking.
"Let's pull up for coffee and have a little bit of a break; it's been a little bit quiet any way." Josh says as the girls have been avoiding any form of a conversation between them.
"Sounds like a plan Josh." Stella says pulling up into a car spot in a side street and starting to walk towards the shops.
"Hey Shannon, why don't you go up ahead of us and order us all the usual and we will meet you there, I just need a quick word with Stell." Josh says pulling out some money and about to hand it to her.
"No worries Josh, meet you there." Shannon says before walking off without a second glance behind her.
"Don't you want some money?" He yells out after her.
Waving a hand in the air she yells out "Consider it my shout." And she keeps on walking to cross the road.
"Alright so what happened between the two of you and don't tell me it's nothing, I'm not dealing with this crap all day." Josh says to Stella harshly.
"Why don't you ask her, she is the one who is pissed off?" Stella says not looking at him.
"Yeah well I know Shannon doesn't get pissed off without a good reason, so what happened?" he asks again.
"Nothing alright, why is it that it has to be my fault, I mean it could just as easily be her fault to." She says crossing her arms.
"So something did happen, what was it Stell?" Josh asks.
"Alright, alright, because you clearly aren't going to give it a rest, I slept with Shannon last night after we went clubbing." Stella says looking at him.
"Yeah and the problem is?" He asks pushing her for me as he doesn't get it.
"As in I slept with her." She says emphasising the word and giving him a look that suggested he listen to her carefully.
As it dawned onto him he said "Ohhhh, okay, but what happened after to make you avoid talking to her and with her being in a bad mood."
"Well I kind of left her in my bed asleep and came to work without waking her or leaving a note or anything, I think Christian knows something, considering I think she got him to pick her up." Stella says with a hint of regret in her voice.
"You idiot Stell, your just like Michael, you like her don't you." He says more of a statement rather than a question.
"Yeah well last night made me realise it was more than just alcohol responsible." She says as they see Shannon emerging from the café.
"Well you better make it right." Josh says as they see Shannon starting to cross the road.
All of a sudden Shannon's head jerks up as they all hear the sound of screeching tires of a car that was speeding towards a lady crossing the road with her baby in a pram just in front of Shannon. Without a moment to warn the lady, Shannon drops the coffee onto the road and reaches out in front of her and shoves the lady forward with the pram just before the car hits Shannon knocking her over onto the road.
"Shannon." Josh and Stella yells out before checking the road that is now at a standstill and running towards her.
"Stell you get the lady and the pram, check them over, I will deal with Shannon." Josh yells out.
"But Josh…" Stella starts to argue.
"Stell, just do as your told okay, and get onto Leon to send us some back up for traffic control as well as the ambos.' Josh says before turning around and heading towards Shannon.
"Leon, there has been an MVA, we need ambos sent to our location right now as well as back up for traffic control." Stella says into her coms and unable to fully keeping out the panic in her voice.
"I am already on it Stell, I saw the footage from your cameras, TR1 should be there shortly as well." Leon says as Kerry is on the phone to Lawson.
"I'm fine Josh, honestly." Shannon says trying to sit upright.
"You are not alright, you just got hit by a car that was speeding, and you're lying down until the ambos get here." Josh says pushing her back down.
"Fine, I will make you a deal, I will lie here perfectly still if you go and check on the driver in the car, there may be more than just the driver in there." Shannon says.
"I don't know Shan." Josh says.
"Josh it's your job to, especially if I am currently in a stable condition, Stella is busy so you need to go and check inside the car, TR1 shouldn't be far." Shannon says having heard Leon on her coms.
"Leon, how long until TR1 get here?" Josh asks.
"They should be there in 5 minutes tops." Leon says.
"Fine, you win, but do not move a muscle." Josh says getting up of the ground.
"Scouts honour." Shannon says with a smile while he shakes his head at her and walks towards the car.
