I am absolutely overwhelmed with your reaction to this story so far, and that was just the first chapter.
(Alright, I decided to let you all know who my muse is while writing Skylar Aldaine. Before even starting to write this I spent a while trying to find the perfect woman to come after Holly in our favorite cop's life. And after careful investigation, aka looking at pictures of gorgeous women, I realized that the most perfect woman to use was Meghan Ory. If you watch Once Upon a Time you'll know that Meghan is absolutely stunning and can definitely pass for sexy. Her role in Intelligence served as a base for the detective/cop role. Skylar is more outgoing and vain if I may, but Meghan adds that sweet and easy to love aspect.)
The reason I took so long to update was because I forgot to breathe while reading all your wonderful reviews.
Like I stated before and I will keep on stating, I'm writing this on mobile. So that's why I didn't tag the characters, well I thought I did. I'm sorry about that.
I'm sorry in advance for all the mistakes, they are all mine.
I do not own Rookie Blue or any of its characters.
Gail's phone snapped everyone back. She smiled at the brunette in front of her and got up to answer it.
"Peck." She answered making her way aimlessly out the door.
"You know I wanted to be a doctor." Skylar started as she walked around to stand in front of Holly's desk. "Specifically a medical examiner, I liked the idea of giving a voice to those who have none. However I lack the patience. I'm envious of your work, I was briefed on its importance. It takes quite a woman to do what you do." She smiled crossing her arms.
"Thank you. So what lead you to be a cop?" Holly asked looking at her over the rim of her glasses, trying to seek out the woman's intentions.
"Well, it was quicker. Few months in the academy, a year as a rookie till I could try to make detective, and now I'm the best homicide detective in British Columbia. I like being the best, and I'll continue climbing ladders. You see, I'm very competitive, and nothing and no one ever gets in the way of what I want." She leaned in on the desk.
Holly knew exactly what the detective was implying. The two were having a serious stare down when Gail walked in.
"Oliver wants us to check out the dump sites of the cold cases." She said walking to stand next to Skylar.
"Great, we'll go right after I buy you lunch." The green eyed woman smiled at the blonde, then turning back to Holly. "Doctor Stewart it was nice meeting you, I'm sure I'll be seeing you around."
"It was very nice seeing you again, Doctor Stewart ." Gail smiled sheepishly.
"Likewise, detectives."
Holly watched the two women walk out of her office. The pang of jealousy still in her being. She knew Gail had the right to be with absolutely anyone she wanted. Holly had made it clear so many months ago that she was seeing someone and for all Gail knew she still was. the fact that Skylar was flirting with the blonde in front of her wasn't easy either. The detective had made her intentions somewhat clear, and she had the right. If that was what Gail wanted. She slumped back in her chair, taking off her glasses and rubbing the fatigue out of her eyes.
"So I'm not really acquainted with Toronto, so how about you pick the place and I pay." Skylar smirked as they drove out of the morgue.
"There's this really amazing Thai restaurant downtown."
"Thai it is."
They made their way to the restaurant and the two women were seated in a booth.
"How are you liking Toronto?" Gail asked.
"Well, it's definitely not Victoria but I like it." She smirked
"I've been here my whole life." The blonde said looking out the window.
"And you're not bored? Don't you ever feel like seeing something new for a change?"
"As of lately yes, but before I was ok with it. Being a police officer makes your life and city a lot less boring."
"What happened as of lately?" Quipped Skylar
"Bad breakup." The blonde said with a mouthful.
"Ah, the sexy doctor kind huh?" The brunette smirked raising her eyebrows
Gail narrowed her eyes at the woman, "What?"
"Oh don't worry I saw it through her not you." Skylar chuckled
"It doesn't matter, I've moved on. And so has she." Gail's eyes fell to her drink.
"Whatever you say, Peck."
"Hey!" Traci smiled from the door.
"Hey!"
"I brought you lunch, I know how you forget to eat." The detective said walking over to Holly's desk.
"Thank you." Holly smiled walking over to where the detective had set the bag down.
"Heard you pulled out some cold cases for Detective Aldaine's case."
"Yeah, they're out at the burial sites. Well, they're getting lunch first." Holly said sarcastically and rolling her eyes.
"Holly, Gail has shown no sign of wanting to date anyone but you. You're worrying too much." Traci tried
"it's not Gail I'm worried about, it's that damn detective." Her nose flared
"Holly, you and I are friends and I care a lot about you. So I'm gonna tell you this, you've had your chance to talk to Gail. I know you're scared but you can't blame her. You can't blame either of them."
"I know Trace, it's just hard. She referred to me as Doctor Stewart, not even Holly."
"I know its hard sweetie." Traci said placing her hand over the brunette's "Hey, come to the Penny tonight, drinks on me ok."
"Alright, drinking sounds perfect." She smiled
Gail had spent the rest of her day with Skylar. And even though she wouldn't admit it, she enjoyed her company. She knew that another detective would have looked down on her for being new but the beautiful brunette was actually helping her.
They were at their last site of the day and it was already late.
"We can visit the last site tomorrow," Skylar told her as they walked around the woods with some uniforms.
"Great cause I really want to call it a day." Gail sighed stomping around branches and roots. "I hate nature."
"You and me both." Laughed Skylar
It was nice, having things in common with the other detective. Gail realized how quickly they had gotten along and it wasn't just the physical attraction speaking.
"You have any family out here?" Gail asked as they walked to the car.
"Nope, my family is back in Victoria. My mother is a doctor, my father is surgeon, and my younger sister is in med school.
"A family of doctors? What happened to you?"
"I'm very impatient Gail, medical school was not for me. Luckily my parents never really cared what I did as long as I was happy and making a name for myself.
"I wish I would have had that choice."
"You always have a choice. "
"Not when you're a Peck you don't. I was born flashing a badge." Gail quipped
"What would you be doing if you weren't a cop?"
"That's the thing, I love my job. I love everything about it. I was born to do this..."
"It's in your blood, not just because of your name. Cops aren't born, they're made, it's in your heart. Skylar added utting her hand over the blonde's protected chest.
"You sound just like Oliver."
"Oliver is a wise man." she smirked
The two women made it Back to the station and had just finished showering.
"Hey!" Andy walked in, followed by Chloe.
"Hey guys, this is Detective Aldaine." Gail formerly introduced them. "Detective this is Officer McNally and Officer Price." She pointed
"Nice to meet you both." Skylar beamed.
"Would you guys like to come out for drinks?" Chloe chimed
"Yeah, everyone is going." Andy added
"That sounds like fun." Skylar smiled
"Great! Maybe you can convince Gail to go. She hasn't set foot in the Penny since she started to go for detective." Andy quipped
"You have to go." Skylar said turning to Gail.
"No I don't." She bit
"But if you don't go, I'll be all alone. I'm a lightweight, I need a buddy." the detective pouted.
"And she can definitely hold her liquor, come on Gail you have to come."
"Please!" The detective begged
"Fine! But you're all buying!"
"Yeah!" The other three women high fived as the blonde narrowed her eyes at them.
"Don't be a sour puss, you know you want to go out drinking with me." The brunette teased.
"Don't flatter yourself, I just feel like taking your money and getting wasted."
"Okay maybe I just really want to go drinking with you."
"How about we make it just you and me and head to my apartment? I'm pretty sure I have some tequila left." She smiled, unsure why she got nervous all of a sudden at the thought if the two of them alone.
"As amazing as that sounds." Skylar started her voice dropping low, "I wasn't lying about not being able to hold my liquor. And tequila plus a heart throbbing blonde doesn't mix well with my self control." She breathed out against Gail's cheek and proceeded to kiss it before walking away. "I'll wait for you in the car."
The blonde stood there, dumbfounded and flustered. She took a couple breathes to slow her heart beat down. She blamed that it had been too long since she had made any type of sexual contact with anyone since Holly. Holly! She wasn't with her anymore, why should she be worried about this new woman in her life. She should have fun, make the best of this gorgeous being that's walked into her life. Skylar will be here as long as the case lasts then she'll go back to Victoria. It's not going to be serious and if the other woman is up for it, so was she. Maybe this was a sign, this is what she needed to move on and be happy again. She needed Skylar. She needed to have fun.
On that note she pulled her bag on her shoulder and made her way out to the car.
"For a second I thought you weren't gonna come anymore." The brunette stood against the hood of Gail's car her thumbs hooked on her belt loops. Skin right jeans, red v-neck and black chucks; Gail couldn't keep her eyes off her. "See anything you like detective?" Skylar quipped arching an eyebrow.
"Shut up." Gail scrunched her nose in annoyance.
"You don't look bad yourself."
"I'm wearing jeans and a black tee. You don't have to suck up."
"You're stunning in anything and nothing. And the fact that you're not sure of that actually saddens me." She said walking up to the blonde sincerity covering each and every word. Gail's breath hitched and her heart thrummed against her chest. It was nice to hear that from someone, it had been a LONG time.
Skylar didn't react until she felt soft lips pressed against hers. The kiss was quick and simple but it was all the thank you the brunette needed.
"Let's go, casanova." Gail breathed out, smiling at gorgeous green eyes.
My main focus right now is Skylar and Gail, I will try my best to develop the crime part of it in the next couple of chapters.
Thank you for reading. Review review review!
love you all! Xoxox
