Chapter 9

"Franky why would flat out ask that it was just supposed to be about the cuddling" Maxine said

Bea was silent taking everything in she was mad Allie was upset she doesn't ever want to see the blonde hurt

"I think you two should go"

"Red I'm really sorry I'm an idiot"

"Yeah you are an idiot today was supposed to be a nice dinner Allie is still recovering you could have asked about us laying together because that isn't a big deal but to jump to conclusions about us is wrong I'm mad at you both I'm mad Allie is in my room upset because you were stupid I want to check on Allie now make sure she is alright

"Red we are really sorry especially me I shouldn't of said that I just worry about you and Allie"

"I know Franky I'll talk to you two later when I'm not mad I'm going to see how Allie is lock the Door behind you" with that she got up and made her way to her room she opened the door and walked in closing it behind her she turned to see Allie laying on the bed her back to her

"Allie"

"Yeah" Allie said quietly

"Are you ok" Bea climbed into bed laying down so she was face Allies back

"I'm sorry"

"What why are you sorry" Allie turned so she was face to face

"I overreacted I lost my temper with Franky she just knows how to get under my skin I got mad she could have asked me in private I would have talked to her she knows me well enough and I know she is just concerned"

"Allie it's ok to overreact sometimes" Allie nodded

"I just I was a whore that what I did for a living I just don't want them thinking that's what I am trying to do with you bea that's not what I'm trying to do"

"hey no I know you aren't you gave all that up I think Franky just worries about you"

It still amazes Bea that this was the girl she once babysat she is grown she has a bad past just like Bea does she wonders if she never moved would both of them have gone through what they did know she had to move she wouldn't ever have had Debbie if she didn't move and get married but also if she stayed she wouldn't have had Debbie she wouldn't have had to experience losing her little girl Debbie she felt her eyes start filling with tears but she held them back

"Hey Bea what are you thinking about" Allie asked noticing Bea was lost

"Ugh nothing just tired" Bea lied not wanting to talk about it now she rolled over her back to Allie

"night allie"

"Goodnight" Allie was left confused by Bea she would ask tomorrow maybe

They both fell asleep

Bea walked in to her old house walking setting her keys down on the table

"Debbie I'm home" no response she must Be in her room she walked to her bedroom knocking on the door still nothing she opened the door thinking Debbie had her head phones in

"Oh my god Debbie" Bea ran over to Debbie who was laying on the floor in a puddle of blonde

"Debbie get up" Bea crying hysterically shook her trying to wake her

"Debbie Debbie please"

"Bea wake up" Allie tried to wake up Bea who seemed to be having a nightmare she was crying in her sleep calling someone named Debbie

"Bea you need to wake up" Allie shook her causing Bea to sit up quickly she was breathing heavily tearing streaming down her face

"Bea it's ok you were having a nightmare" Allie said rubbing her back

Bea quickly wiped her tears away not wanting Allie seeing her like this she didn't want anyone to see her like this she looked at the time she had a few hours until work so she got up and walked to the bathroom closing the door behind her

Allie knew whatever nightmare Bea was having was real who was Debbie she thought

Bea splashed some water on herself she then turned the shower on stripping her clothes off and getting in she hadn't had any nightmares in a few weeks she started crying she acted like she was fine to everyone but she wasn't she kept herself busy so she could keep her mind off the that the water was cold now so she finished her shower and got out there was a knock on the door

"Bea are you ok in there" Allie said through the door concerned Bea has been in there for almost an hour

"Yeah I'm fine I'll be out right now"

Bea realized she didn't bring any clothes in with her so she wrapped the towel around her and walked out she noticed Allie sitting on the bed

Allie watched Bea walk out in her towel Allie was very attracted to Bea she knew she was Bea was a goddess anyone with eyes could see that so seeing bea in a towel did things to her now is not the time to get turned on Novak she thought she watched as Bea grabbed a bra and underwear from the dresser she than made her way to the closet probably to get dressed a few minutes later she walked out fully dressed

"I have to go to work I'll be back later today" Bea said walking out of the room be shut herself off

"Bea are you sure you're ok"

"I'm fine"

Allie knew she wasn't fine

"Bye I'll be back later you can message me on the iPad" Bea said walking out the door

"Bye" Allie was worried about Bea

Bea walked into work she didn't want to be here today she wasn't in the mood to talk to Maxine she didn't say hi like she does every day she felt Maxine looking at her a few hours into work Bea got a message it was from Allie

"I hope you're having a good day Bea I'm worried about you I'm here if you need to talk" another message came in

"Also it's pretty sad I miss you already it's boring here without you" the message made Bea smile allie was really sweet and she did make her smile

"I'm ok Allie don't worry about me" she put her phone down so she could finish her client's hair once she was finished she heard Maxine

"Bea can we talk please"

"Yeah give me a ride home after work I walked today"

Maxine knew Bea only walks to work to clear her head or if something is wrong

"Are you ok"

Bea didn't respond her next client walked in

Allie got Beas message but decided to talk to her when she got home she walked to the living room when she realized she never looked at any of the pictures on the wall there was picture of Bea and some younger girl she looked like Bea but with brown hair Allie would have to wake Bea who that was she then moved to the next picture she looked at it confused it was her and her neighbor Bea she knew Bea looked like her but now this proves Bea was her Bea smith Allie didn't know what to think why didn't Bea tell me about it she was pulled out of her thoughts by a knock on the door she went to open it to see franky

"What do you want"

Franky walked in

"I want to say I'm sorry I was an idiot"

"You are an idiot" Allie smiled not being able to stay made at Franky

"yesterday we saw you two when you were cleaning her cut it looked like something was there she couldn't keep her eyes off of you and you were the same I kept catching you staring at Bea and you both are all touchy-feely every chance you guys get you are touching or hugging"

"I'm not going to lie to you Franky Bea is a great woman if a woman like Bea ever liked me I would never let them go Bea is a goddess not to mention gorgeous and kind but that would never happen I'm and ex junkie whore Bea would never like me"

"Don't think so low of yourself Allie"

"Me and Bea are friends that's all Franky"

"I love you Allie you're like a little sister to me I will always worry about you"

"I love you to Franky"

Franky then ruffled Allies hair

"Ouch" Franky said as Allie slap her hand away

"Come on help me make dinner for Bea she left upset this morning and I want to cheer her up"

"Ok I can do that"

They walked to the kitchen so Franky could teach Allie how to make spaghetti they started cooking Allie doing everything Franky was telling her to 40 mins later they were almost done

"Hey Allie be careful with Bea she has had a lot happened to her she hasn't been with anyone since her ex-husband I can see you falling for her I don't want you getting hurt if she doesn't feel the same way"

"Franky I'll be fine ok"

Franky nodded she continued helping Allie finish making the food

Back at the shop Bea and Maxine walked to the car getting in heading to Beas

"Bea I'm sorry about yesterday"

"It's fine Maxine I just want to know why you both thought that"

"Bea I'm saying this as your friend"

Bea only nodded

"we were watching you to when she was helping you with your cut after you fell off the couch you couldn't stop looking at Allie like if you looked away she would disappear and the way you two get lost in each other's eyes and the blushing also you both a really touchy and when you hug it lingers more than a friend hug you both look at each other when the other isn't looking you both look like smitten teenagers there is clearly chemistry there"

"I'm not gay"

"it's about the person not the sex Bea"

"I don't know maxi" Bea said confused

"I'm not saying go do something about it I'm saying why we thought something was going on"

Bea remained silent

"why did you walk to work"

"I needed to clear my head that is all"

they pulled up Maxine spoke up again

"Bea you have been through a lot you do deserve happiness"

"Bye Maxine" Bea smiled and got out making her way to her apartment

When she got to her door she went to open it but someone opened it before she could it was Franky walking out

"Hey red I was just leaving I'll see you around" Franky said heading downstairs Bea made her way in

"Hey Bea your back I know you were upset earlier when you left so I wanted to cheer you up so I made you dinner well Franky helped me but I did most of the work its spaghetti I hope you like it and" she was cut off by Bea hugging her

"You were rambling" Bea said

"Sorry"

"It's fine it was cute" Bea blushed at her own comment

"Ready to eat" Allie said trying not to blush to

"Yeah I am" Bea sat down as Allie made their plates up bringing them to the table sitting down

"So Allie I meant to tell you yesterday that the hair shop where I work has a spot open you would have to shampoo but it's yours if you want it"

"Yeah I'll take it Bea"

"Ok good you will probably start next week I'll let you know"

"Thank you so much Bea"

"No problem" they both chatted while finishing their dinner Bea was surprised at how Allie has made her day so much better
