I do not own Rookie Blue.
So here goes nothing.
Creating Us Chapter 1.
Who is Gail Peck?
"Do you have an appointment sir?" asked the young blonde behind the desk.
"Yes, Collins at 3." he replied
Nick looked around the waiting room of the architecture firm. He was in awe at the grandeur and use of modern chic. With an abstract painting here and there and stainless steel and glass everywhere.
"The architect is ready to see you." the young woman said as she lead him to two stainless steel doors.
"Thank you." he smiled. The office was just as splendid as the waiting room; with glass walls, leather,
and it smelled like roses.
"Hello, Mr. Collins I'm Ms. Stewart." said a gorgeous young woman with the most silky raven hair, a smile to die for, and probably the most beautiful brown eyes you'll ever look into.
"Nick, please call me Nick." He replied taking her hand and shaking it.
"Holly, pleasure." She smiled
"Well, Holly, do you think we could..." He smiled getting closer to her, "probably take this meeting somewhere more private. Maybe coffee, probably even dinner."
"I'd rather we keep this professional, if you don't mind..." she said completely annoyed.
"Oh... No no. You're right. How rude of me." he tried sounding less arrogant.
By now Holly knew that working for this man was going to be very unpleasant. Maybe she could get another one of the architects
to take this one just this time.
"Well what is it that I can do for you then?" she asked sitting down behind her desk.
"My spoiled brat of a fiancé wants to build her first home." he said irritated.
Holly looked at this man incredulously, he had just tried to hit on her and now he lets her know he's getting married. This man had
no shame. She felt worse however, for the girl he was going to marry.
"Well, do you have any ideas of what she may want?"
"None whatsoever. My fiancé can't be pleased. This is where you come in."
"Well, is she here, will she be coming?"
"Look, your job isn't that hard. The hard part will be planning this out with her."
The architect looked at him, she wanted nothing more than to kick him out and maybe even throw in a punch.
But Holly needed this, she needed this project, she hadn't expected a house project and now she wanted it.
"Please don't come in insulting me in my own office. If this is so easy, why don't you do it yourself?"
"Well you see miss, I can't draw to save my life. This architect firm is the most highly recommended and you're the best female architect in it."
"What does me being female have to do with anything?" she replied irritated now more than ever.
"Well, maybe you'll get along with my fiancé. No one else does." he smirked "Can you come by on Monday?"
"Yes, I'll be there at 8."
"Make it 11, she's going to court at 8 and wont come back till 10."
"Alright 11 it is."
"And we'll go about the contract at the house?" he asked
"Yes, my partner and I will bring the necessary paperwork. Of course, it won't have to be signed until I have plans that
your fiancé likes."
"Then don't hold your breathe. I'd just settle for just a sketch, she'll be changing it a lot anyway." he said turning away towards the doors.
Holly looked at him puzzled, he knew this would blow over but he wanted her to do this anyway. She turned back to him and walked over to let him out.
Holly returned to her desk and looked down at the file. She couldn't believe she was taking this job. She needed it she told herself.
Ever since she was little she would draw out what she wished her homes would look like. Growing up her parents had very little, she
was happy nonetheless, but still she never really knew what it would feel like to live in a house. She was 26 now, and had yet to have her own house.
This job was getting her close to her dreams. Soon she would have enough money to build her own home.
The next morning Holly was running around her office getting her contract and bags ready to head out.
"It's your first home isn't it?" asked Chris.
Chris was Holly's best friend, they had known each other since freshman year in high school when they connected over their love of architecture. Together they went through the next 3 years in high school, then college, and now at the firm. While Holly liked to take projects close to home her brunette male friend liked to explore the world. He had gone everywhere to help with designing everything from libraries to skyscrapers.
"Yes, I'm actually more nervous than I thought."
"Don't be Hol, you don't give yourself enough credit." He said giving her a sweet smile and squeezing her arm.
"That's why I need you to be there today. Plus I'm actually scared of these clients."
"They can't be that bad. Don't worry, stop stressing yourself."
Holly realized that the area where the house would be built was a lot more fancy than she had imagined. These were mansions, palaces almost. They arrived at the empty lot that they imagined was their new canvas and got out of the car.
"Holy shit, this place must be at least 40 acres? Is it all theirs?" Chris said in awe.
"Actually it's 50, if you include the lake." Nick said from behind him.
"Good morning Mr. Collins, I'm Chris Diaz." He said shaking the blonde man's hand
"Nick, please." he smiled walking over to Holly and greeting her with a kiss on the cheek.
"You'll have to forgive the mess, with our busy schedules we've barely had time to move stuff over here. However I can offer you a cup of coffee."
"Coffee sounds fantastic." Holly replied
"Feel free to use the dining table to set up whatever you need. I'll be picking up a bigger one later today."
Holly looked over to the table and realized it was smaller than she was used to but she would manage for now. She began taking out her instruments and drawing pads and laying out as much as she could. Then the three sat down with their coffee and had small talk.
the sound of a car pulling up and someone opening the door caught their attention. A box and stacks of folders covered the face of whoever walked in.
"i fucking hate that son of a bitch! I don't even know why I take these stupid cases! Fucking bastards! I'm glad that little shit got locked up up!"
"Hi honey, we have visitors." Nick said embarrassed as he walked over to kiss his angry fiancé.
"They weren't supposed to be here till 1, Nick."
"They've been here since 11. You're late."
"Oh wow I'm sorry. The fucking judge had to pee so much and it lasted longer than I expected."
it was then that Holly actually saw the woman. This was no ordinary woman; with deep blue eyes, white blonde hair, and features that could take over the world. Holly was taken aback by her beauty. She had forgotten that even though all she heard was bad things about this woman, that she could actually be gorgeous. She wore a right pencil skirt and matching suit with a red button up shirt with a clear view of the black lace bra she was wearing. She looked a mess, but Holly couldn't help but think that she was breathtaking.
"I'm Gail Peck, it's nice to meet you." the blonde said smiling a little too wide at Holly.
"Stewart. Holly Stewart." She stammered realizing she had been caught ogling the blonde.
Who is Gail Peck? I'll Let you know.
This is my first attempt at a Rookie Blue fanfic. I'm writing on my phone so bear with me, I was trying to post ASAP because of all the Gailly feels so tomorrow I will be fixing all mistakes. If you like this idea please review! I know an AU is a long shot but I actually love what I have planned for this! So please review! They give me life and motivation!
