Chapter 9
Holly is sitting I her office trying her hardest to help this poor sucker who came to her for help but she's having a hard time getting her mind off of the hot blonde who spent the night at her house. She still couldn't believe what had happened between the two. Holly honestly thought that Gail was running, she still couldn't wrap her head around the fact that Gail had stayed and talked to Holly about how she was feeling. Yes she didn't know Gail for a very long time but she knew that Gail had been hurt in the past and it wasn't until last night that Holly realized how scared Gail truly was.
"So what I need to do is look over the improvements in DNA analysis and I should be good?" asked the student, she was starring at Holly with a questioning look on her face but Holly was still in her little world where only her and Gail existed. The student asked her question again and this time Holly snapped out of her daze.
"What? I'm sorry I didn't hear you."
Finally about thirty minutes later the girl left Holly's office Giving Holly the privacy she needed to properly day dream about Gail, when they woke up this morning they did exactly what they planned on doing. They made out in bed for a little while, only stopping because Gail was promised pancakes and she was sure to collect on her promises especially if they involved food.
Holly walked out to her kitchen and started to cook she was surprised that Gail just stayed in her room but she just assumed that she had fallen back asleep. She had started to pour the batter when she felt two cold hands on her waist. Holly tried to ignore what such a simple touch did to her body; she knew that if Gail would keep this up she would not be able to resist her for much longer. Gail got up on her tiptoes and rested her chin on Holly's shoulders to where she could see Holly's hands mix the batter. She stayed like this for a few minutes watching Holly pour the batter onto the hot pan and flip the golden brown pancakes.
Holly couldn't tell if Gail was unconsciously trying to turn Holly on. She was moving her hands gently up and down the front of Holly's thigh and she would make small little pattern on every upward motion causing Holly to loose focus. "They smell soo good Holly" Gail whispered in Holly's ear causing Holly's mind to melt like a hormonal teenager. Okay that was it Holly knew that Gail was doing this on purpose. Gail couldn't be that oblivious to what her actions were doing to Holly.
Holy turned around in Gail's arms she kissed her passionately, she moved her hands to Gail's lower back and started playing with the hem of her t-shirt, she felt Gail's hands move to cup her ass. Earlier this morning Holly realized that Gail was an ass girl. It seemed that every opportunity that she got to touch Holly's ass she took it. Holly noticed that Gail was becoming more confident with her touches, where before she could feel the hesitation now Gail only evoked confidence with every touch.
They mutually began to deepen the kiss this time Gail allowed Holly to dominate it. It was becoming heated rather quickly. Things started to feel rushed, hands were pulling and tugging at one another. Holly moved her hands to the front of Gail's shirt making a path to Gail's breasts. Holly stopped when she found Gail smiling into the kiss and on the verge of giggling. She stopped and looked at Gail with her eyebrows slightly furrowed with a confused look on her face as if she was asking 'what's so funny?' she felt Gail lift a bit to her tip toes to whisper in her ear "I think something's burning nerd." Only then did Holly realize why Gail was laughing and holding her stomach, she quickly tossed the scorched pancakes into the trash and turned to scowl at Gail.
"This is all your fault I hope you know." Holly said.
"No, you were cooking so its your fault" Gail laughed even harder seeming Holly slightly pissed off.
"No its yours you were distracting me."
"How was I distracting you? You're the one who kissed me?"
Holly looked at Gail, was she being serious? She knew all along what would happen when she was touching me like that. There is no possible reason for her not to know what she was doing to me. Thought Holly.
"You're kidding me right? You didn't think for one second that you touching me like that was distracting in the least?"
"God, Holly I just thought that you would have a little more control then that." Gail said with a smirk this told Holly that she indeed know exactly what she was doing and Holly was pissed, she fell for it and then gave Gail the opportunity to make some snarky comment about how turned on Holly was getting.
"I mean I guess you should be thankful that you're not a guy…" Holly raised an eyebrow to Gail urging her to continue.
"And why is that Gail?" Holly said with a challenging tone.
"Because you wouldn't be able to hide your boner." She laughed as she pointed towards Holly's crouch and making n upwards motion with her hand. Holly just stood there stunned she knew she shouldn't be surprised by what comes out of Gail's mouth but she was not expecting that.
Holly stood there and crossed her arms over her chest and huffed "well I hope you enjoyed our little make out session because that the last you'll get from me." She smiled brightly once she saw the fear rush Gail's face it was too cute Holly knew her threat wouldn't be long lived but seeing Gail react that way just made it all the more enjoyable.
Gail was now at her apartment with Dov and Chris they were planning on going out for the night, well it was more like Dov and Chris were planning on going out and forcing Gail to go along.
"Gail you're going! We haven't seen you all week." Said Chris. He always seemed the most hurt when Gail was away.
"What do you mean you haven't seen me? I live here for Christ sake!"
"Come on Gail just for a few hours? Everyone has been wondering where you been, you really haven't spent much time here."
"Who's exactly everyone?"
"Gail you know who everyone is. Traci, Andy, Chloe, Chris and me."
"Just for a few hours then I'll drive you home if you want to." Chris piped up flashing his puppy dog eyes.
"Fine." Gail huffed. She really didn't want to go to the Wooden Nickel tonight. She didn't want to do anything she just wanted to hold up in her room and play video games. She had originally wanted to hang out with Holly but she had office hours and then she was supposed to hang out with a friend.
It was close to 9:00 when the group made it to the wooden nickel, they had managed to get a few tables and Dov broke out his trivia cards and began breaking up in teams. Dov and Chloe, Traci and Andy and lastly Gail and Chris. Gail hated that this is what her friends did for fun, who liked sitting around a college bar playing stupid card game. It also didn't help the fact that Gail always lost to Dov.
They played a few rounds and everyone was starting to feel a little bit of a buzz when Gail noticed a tall slender athletic built woman enter the bar. She instantly knew it was Holly, Gail was getting ready to walk over to her when she saw a girl grab Holly's hand and pull her towards the bar, Gail was trying her best not to stare at her but she couldn't help but notice that they were being particularly affectionate to one another. Now Gail has never been a touchy feely person but she was getting the vibe that Holly and this girl were more than friends.
Chris got up motioning to the bar "anyone want another?"
With that Gail just held up her glass and said, "Make mine a double."
She managed to limit her starring, she knew that she wanted to talk to Holly but she didn't know how to go about it so instead she just got drunk, drinking drink after drink this is what she does. Gail Peck avoids and she was going to avoid Holly at all cost.
Everyone at her table began to notice that Gail was starring and they all exchanged questioningly looks, no one dared to ask Gail what was going on because they all knew Gail was not a talker and it was best just to leave her. But Traci knew Gail better than what everyone else did; Traci decided that she would be the one to speak up first.
"Hey Gail you want to go to the bathroom with me?"
"God Traci you can't pee alone?" snapped Gail
"Come on Gail please?" Traci fake begged, but it worked Gail rose and made her way the bathroom. Traci quickly followed.
The two women got into the bathroom and Traci stopped Gail by placing her hand on her arm. "You gonna tell me why you were mean mugging those girls all night?"
"I don't know what you mean?" Gail practically spat.
"Gail really… you can talk to me you know, I think that our friendship has been through enough for you to be able to trust me." Traci knew this approach was risky, yes her and Gail have been trough a lot but she didn't want to force Gail into anything. Traci unlike the rest of their friends has seen it first hand how Gail is forced to do things because of her Peck name. Traci has been so lucky to be invited to a few Peck dinners because her relationship with Steve.
Gail looked at Traci for a while she was clearly deciding if she wanted to go there right now. "Listen Traci its no big thing."
"Okay, Gail just know we can talk."
"Yeah I get it. Are you going to go pee or no?"
And with that a conversation that never started was finished. Yes Gail wished that she was able to open up to her friends but she also felt so weak even thinking about needing someone else. Yes Holly was with someone else but Gail wasn't ready to let anyone know that she had spent the nigh there last night or the fact that they had kissed. She wasn't worried because Holly was a woman she was worried because if she told Traci about Holly it made everything real and Gail has been burnt too many times. Whatever this was with Holly wasn't real therefore she couldn't be hurt by the fact that Holly was currently being touchy feely with someone else.
It wasn't much longer when she noticed Holly and the mystery girl get up to leave. Gail saw Holly hand the girl her keys and motion towards the bathroom. Gail had told herself all night 'don't react just avoid' it was starting to become a mantra she chanted to herself every time she say Holly swat at the girl before breaking out into a deep laughter. Gail was more than tipsy by this point and the alcohol had given her the boost she needed to get up and follow Holly back into the ladies room were she and Traci just were an hour prior.
She opened the bathroom door. It was a three-stall bathroom and waited for Holly to finish before she talked to her. Holly exited the stall and didn't notice Gail standing here until she went to wash her hands.
"Hey Gail, I didn't know you would be here tonight." Holly was clearly happy to see her she to wanted to spend time with Gail but she promised Steph that they would do something tonight and she wouldn't hear the end of it if she bailed on her to hang out with a girl that she liked.
"So is this your game or something?" asked Gail clearly not in a good mood.
"Game?" asked Holly "what do you mean?"
"Oh you know your game, is this how you pull a girl? Do you make her feel like you might have something then show up with someone else just to make them jealous so you can get them in bed quicker, make them feel like they need to do something to keep someone as smart or as pretty as you interested?"
"Gail what are you talking about?" Holly was genuinely confused.
"That girl you were with! God Holly the way you were touching her you might as have been fucking her for the whole bar to see!"
Holly was pissed she has never been talked to in this manner she was seconds away from blowing up on Gail when she saw that the blonde was clearly too far gone for explanations, but never the less Holly was still pissed that Gail had the nerve to come at her like this in a bathroom of all places.
Holly grabbed Gail by the arms and led her out of the bathroom more forcefully than she had intended on being. Thought this experience Gail was complaining that Holly was 'hurting her and to get her fucking hands off of her.' Holly knew that she was being aggressive but nowhere near painful so she chose to ignore Gail's failed attempts of dismissing Holly.
Shortly they reached Steph, Holly's friend. "You think your being funny Stewart? I'm not gong to going you and this…" pointing to Steph. "In some weird threesome"
Steph just stood there stunned she had no idea what was going on she could tell that the look on Holly's face told her that this was far from planned. But she decided to let Holly handle whatever was going on.
"Gail. Shut up, this is my best friend. Her name is Steph."
Gail just gruffed, her face turned bight red but she was not going to bow down that easily, she knew that she would eventually dig herself a deeper hole but she didn't care she was already in too deep.
"Is that supposed to mean something to me?" Gail spat.
Steph looked to Holly, and could see how hurt both Gail and Holly were she then spoke up. "Gail right?"
Gail just nodded with an awful scowl plastered on her face.
Steph ignored the blonde standing in front of her and continued. "I don't know exactly what's going on between you two but I know whatever it is it sparked up pretty fast because tonight all Holly could talk about was this gorgeous, smart, sarcastic, vibrant blonde named Gail. And how she shouldn't like her as much as she does or how her kisses are soft, firm and passionate all in one. And how she puts this adorable scowl on her face any time someone one ups her, And now all of the sudden Holly looks like she could kill you, so I just wanted to let you know before this gets too out of hand that whatever it is that you think happened or is happening between us has never happened and will never happen, don't get me wrong Holly is a catch and anyone would be proud to have her its just I'm straight like really straight and think that you should know that I'm actually married to her brother."
Gail looked like a child that just found out that Santa isn't real. That perfect mix between astonishment and sadness, Gail Peck knew she fucked up and she couldn't bear to look at Holly. Steph's words burned deep. Not only were they sister-in-laws but also they were also best friends and Gail couldn't help but think that she surly ruined any chance of making this better. So she decided to take one last look at Holly before she made her way to the exit.
She could tell that Holly was still fuming and she knew better than to say anything but her mouth and brain betrayed her.
"I'm sorry I fucked everything up."
And proceeded to the exit.
