They were sitting in the car just talking for five minutes when Gail finally said I am going to be late l better go, it was like Holly read Gail's mind when she looked around to see if there was anyone near before she place a kiss on her lips.
Gail walked out of the car and straight to the locker room were she went and sat down on one of the benches and put her head in her hands, she didn't see Andy coming in because when she heard one of the lockers opening she almost jumped as she look to see who was it.
G: oh it's you, morning
A: Morning
G: Have you been to the hospital and how are they doing
A: They are still unconscious but they are stable
Good news said Gail and with that she walked out of the locker room heading to the meeting room where Frank and Oliver were looking at the board to sort out what was going to be done today and who is going to be working with who.
It didn't take long for the room to be crowded with blue uniforms. Everyone was handed their assignments and Gail found out that she was stuck on the deck today, she didn't even complain or said anything as she just walked out. She was stopped by the voice of Chris calling her.
C: Hey how are you, you didn't come home last night where were you.
G: Morning to you too..,
Chris wanted to say that didn't answer my question but he knew better to just let it go because he knows that if he keeps on pushing the buttons ,Gail will start being mean and yet she was in a good mood for some reason already.
On her way to the desk she passed Traci who said hey Gail how was your date. Morning to you too Traci said Gail as she turned back and said don't people know how to say morning anymore and turned back and started walking again. Traci just smiled to herself and was about to continue walking when she saw Steve and started talking to him.
She was sitting on the front desk waiting for the phone to ring or someone to come in with any of the criminals who needed to be booked in, but there wasn't a lot of people and calls .
It did give Gail time to think about her relationship with Holly, she remembered that last night she almost sent Traci a text massage telling her she was with her girlfriend and this morning before they left the house Holly did call her girlfriend.
She knew what she was getting herself in to the moment she first kissed Holly, she knew where this was going but she didn't like how fast it was going. Yes she knew that they have been dating for few weeks now… she was interrupted by the phone ringing.
It was a old lady who was calling to complain about the noise that was coming from the next door neighbour, will send someone to check it out ma'am said Gail, she said something on the walkie-talkie to inform those who were out there to go and check it out.
It was lunch time when she thought she would go down to the morgue and check on Holly , she hasn't talked to her in more than 3 hours, she switched with who she was supposed to switch with and let them know she was heading out but she will be back after lunch.
When she got there she said a few word to the security guard and made her way up stairs. She saw that Holly was reading something on the computer, so she just stood there and watched her and thought to herself how sexy the other woman looked right now.
G: what are you reading there?
H: How long have you been standing there?
G: Long enough to look at your sexy body
Holly stood up and made her way to where Gail was standing and gently kissed her and said I missed you today, it's not even four hours since you dropped me at the station nerd said Gail as she continued to kiss Holly.
H: Let me go and get something to eat and we can go upstairs. What do you want
G: Get me anything as long as it doesn't have tomatoes.
Holly went down to the cafeteria and got 2 Wimbledon's sandwiches and two bottles of orange juice. When she returned she just knocked on the door to signal Gail to come up stairs.
They got up stairs in their favorite room and ate while they were talking to each other about what they have been up to and more teasing and more and more touching.
G: Hey remember this morning when you called me your girlfriend?
H: Umm yer, wats wrong?
G: Umm nothing, I just wanted to make sure I head you right, as she said this she was kicking herself why did she even brought up the conversation.
H: I called you my girlfriend because I am serious about you, and I want to take this feather to see where it takes us. As she said this she was holding Gail's hand.
Gail opened her mouth to say something but she closed it as she couldn't find any words to say. She tried again
G: I like you as well and I enjoy every single time I spent with you, you are the only person who I know who can make me smile and happy at the same time. There is no one out there I know who can do that. I know that it's too soon to say this but I fell for you the moment I laid my eyes on you. There were tears in her eyes. Holly you are like crazy beautiful.
Holly saw that she was about to cry so she pulled her closer and put her hands around her.
It's like Holly can read her mind because she kind of had an idea what she was going to say but she wasn't sure at the same time and she wanted her to say it.
G: I am scared Holly
H: What are you scared of
G: I am scared to be your girlfriend… she continued crying, I am scared to be your girlfriend because that means me telling my friends who I am dating and my family that I am dating a girl. I am not ready to tell them that I am gay. I am not ready for people to judge me, they already say I am mean and some of them they don't even like me.
H: Hey look at me, who said we have to go and tell the whole world that you are my girlfriend; this is between me and you. It can be forever or whatever I don't care as long I got you.
Gail's smile started to return and Holly noticed so she leaned and pressed her forehead with hers and said baby it's just me and you and we are going to take baby steps together, as she wiped her tears with her thump and kissed her on the lips. She kissed her on the forehead and said I have to go; lunch time was over 15mins ago and if we stay here any longer one of us is going to lose our jobs. She was about to walk out of the door when Gail pulled her hand and gave her a goodbye kiss.
Gail was 20 minutes late for a switch over for the afternoon, she was ready to apologies to the Lindsey who she left about fifty minutes ago, and she was surprised to see Traci on the desk
G: I know I am late I am so sorry
T: Where have you been?
G: I had to take care of something, I am so sorry.
Traci just looked at her with a questioning face, she wanted to say what so important that gat you to be late, but she didn't because she knew her friend way better to know that if she keeps on pushing for answers she will burst of anger and no one likes Gail when she was angry. Instead she just said you own me Peck, and walked away.
Hey sister how are you, I swear I saw Traci few minutes ago standing here said Steve as he scratched his head like a confused child.
G: Maybe… I am just saying maybe she is trying to avoid you
S: Very funny sis , very funny
G: Hey don't hate the messenger; she was bursting in laughter as she said this because the face that was on Steve's face was so funny, she went that way pointing to the left.
The phone rang again and this time it was a child asking for ambulance because his father just fell off the ladder, will send someone soon said Gail as she informed the ambulance crew.
As the day moved on more calls kept on coming and she only booked in three people. It wasn't an busy at all.
It was home time when Traci called out and joined her as they walk out of the station, so did Chris, Andy and Dov.
Penny tonight Gail? Said Chris, she was about to answer when she got a text from Holly asking her to come over tonight. Can only do few drinks and I have to go.
