Hi everyone. Well this is a new pairing for me, It is out of the ordinary, but it has been begging me to be written since I first saw these two together, Enjoy.
Yes sure, after Tessa had left there had been a few girls, probably more then she cared to remember. Yet this one was different. It wasn't a one night stand like the rest of them. From the first moment she had seen her, she had fallen in love. She couldn't help it, she just had. She had already broken the first rule – not to fall in love with a colleague and added to the fact, as far as she knew, she was straight, not to mention the age difference, she was barely 20. She wanted what she could not have so what did she do? She became a bitch. It hurt her, but not as much as the loving her and not being allowed to have her did. Jo had tried to forget about her, but she couldn't. She was always there, coming up to CID about some case or to give some information that she had remembered with her incredible memory.
Tonight was going to be the start of the rest of her life. She was going to get drunk and once and for all forget about her. After only a few drinks she could feel her plan starting to work. She looked towards the door and to her surprise she saw her entering, looking as beautiful as ever. Suddenly a thousand questions were going around her head; this was a gay bar. What was she, a straight girl doing here?
Shit, this was not meant to be happening thought Jo, she was meant to be getting over her, not thinking that there might be a chance. As fast as she could she walked to the bathroom and rinsed her face, to try and make some sense of what was happening. The door opened and Jo tried to ignore it.
"Jo."
Damn she was sprung.
She couldn't do it, couldn't talk to her, not here, not now, so muttering some excuse she ran out, saw a side door and took it. The cold air was refreshing; it cooled her hot face, now she had to find her car keys. The door burst open and she groaned she knew who it would be and she didn't want to deal with it.
"Go away, just go away Beth."
"Right I've had enough of this, first you're a bitch to me at work from the first time you set eyes on me, now…" Beth didn't finish the sentence.
"Why?"
"I want to know why," Beth repeated.
"There's no reason," Jo replied.
"There's always a reason."
Jo gave her a look as if to say, when you're older you'll understand.
"What, coz I'm young, you don't think I can do my job, did I do something wrong, is it something I said?" Beth questioned.
At this stage Jo could see tears in Beth's eyes. It must have been the alcohol in her system because the next thing she knew she was talking.
"Because I love you, and I can't have you and you're always around, making it worse for me."
At this moment some people came out of the club making quite a lot of noise. In the time it took Jo to look up at them and give them an evil look for interrupting and then back down at Beth, the girl was gone.
Jo entered work quietly the next day, fully aware that she would probably come in contact with Beth, although to her amazement she never did. Just as she was finishing the last of her paperwork, Mickey came up to her desk.
"Coming for drinks Jo?"
"Why not, meet you down there in 15," she replied. That's what she needed, a good night out with some mates.
An hour later she was at the bar waiting for drinks and severely regretting coming, as Beth had also turned up and she hadn't been able to relax all night.
Suddenly Beth was next to her.
"We need to talk," Beth said matter of factly.
"I've told you everything," Jo replied tersely.
"I haven't. Toilets in 5." Jo just nodded her head trying to get over the words that Beth had just said.
So an agonizing five minutes later, Jo made her way to the toilets.
Luckily there was no one else there.
Before Beth could speak Jo started.
"Look Beth, before you start, I'm too old for you and we're colleagues, it would never work."
"You know I am sick and tired of people telling me that I am too young, and anyway you're in CID I am in Uniform, we don't work together a lot and I am sure we can be professional.
"What are you saying Beth?" questioned Jo, slightly shocked.
"Look, I've been out as bi, since I was 15, Jo, I like you okay, that's why I always try so hard and that's why it hurts when you insult me."
Jo just stood there for a few moments, her mouth open.
"So are you going to take me for dinner?" asked Beth smiling.
What did you think, should I continue? Anyway please review. Cheers A for Antechinus
