Chapter 4

"Baby? Are you okay? Do you need anything?" Holly was whispering to Gail. The blonde had woken up an hour ago and hadn't spoken a word to anyone. She smiled at Holly,"just you", Holly smiled from ear to ear she was sure if anyone saw the smile on her face right now they'd think she had problems.

"Holly I-" Gail couldn't continue because the brunette had interrupted,

"Gail it's okay if you don't feel the same way, I mean you were shot and then you died and then you came back to life, I mean it's been traumatic, so I understand, we can go back to being best friends and-" this time it was Gail who interrupted Holly's rambling, but with a soft tender kiss, Gail cupped Holly's face and rested her forehead against Holly's, ignoring the throbbing she could feel in her neck., "Holly you are a nerd, my nerd, a smart, beautiful, sexy librarian looking nerd, but sometimes-" Gail paused and looked into Holly's chocolate brown eyes, she saw passion, love and slight confusion "- you can be so stupid" Holly looked Gail in the eye and saw she wasn't playing around, "stupid?" Holly looked a little hurt, this wasn't what Gail wanted to do,

"Hol, can't you see I am crazy about you? Gail kissed Holly gently "I" kiss "love" kiss "you" kiss "Holly" kiss "Stewart" Gail was still cupping Holly's face and their foreheads still touching, Holly finally breathed, she didn't realise she'd stopped. "Hol? What's wrong?" Gail looked at Holly with concern and backed off slightly but decided to hold her hand.

"Gail...You died...You died and when you died... A part of me did too, I feel so numb and empty inside, i'm scared, I can't feel anything anymore Gail, I can't-" Holly started sobbing, Gail was still processing what Holly had just said, and decided there was one way to check whether Holly was truly numb and empty inside, Gail grabbed Holly and pulled her in for a passionate kiss, Gail's tongue danced at Holly's bottom lip, demanding entrance which Holly granted, their tongues were duelling for dominance, Gail pulled Holly on top of her so the brunette was on her knees, one leg between Gail's and the other straddling her left leg being careful to make sure she didn't injure Gail. Holly moaned into Gail's mouth and she felt the blonde smile and break the kiss, "so Dr Stewart judging by your reaction and soaked panties, I say you can definitely feel, but i'm no doctor" Holly shyly looked away, maybe all she needed was to feel Gail, to feel her lips against her own, to feel Gail responding to her. "Gail...I do love you, I'm most likely still in shock from-"

"-the amazing kiss, I know Holly, I am skilled in that department" Gail winked at Holly who playfully shoved her shoulder,

"behave you! I am trying to tell you that I'm not second guessing us, I just need to spend more time with you, I want you to let me look after you, so I know that you're recovering, to know that...you're alive" Holly whispered the last word so quietly Gail wasn't sure if she'd said them or not.

"Right doctor, not that this view isn't awesome, I am sure this looks a little dodgy. Holly, I would do anything for you not to feel empty or numb because of me, so if playing patient and nurse will help you then so be it" Holly leaned down and planted a kiss on Gail's nose and then lips before getting up to sit on the chair,

"Gail your nose is small and all cute, awww don't pout, it makes you look even more adorable" Holly cooed at Gail.

"I am not cute or adorable Holly, I am the badass cop who eats criminals for breakfast" Gail said through pouted lips, Holly leaned forward and kissed Gail's pout away and whispered in her ear

"Honey don't worry, your secret is safe with me".

I felt like Holly needed to be vulnerable and unsure and Gail to be totally honest about her feelings, just to switch it up, for now. They're both in their own little world at the moment Gail's barriers are none existent and so are Holly's.

I don't mind writing angst but sometimes, a little lighthearted banter is needed!

I hope you're enjoying this so far!
