AL xxx
Bea pulled on her teal clothes as she redressed after her strip search, Ms Miles had done it again and although she didn't particularly like the screw, she was disheartened by her response to the sight of her scars each time. It made her feel like a freak, she supposed she should get used to it, once the other women began seeing her in the showers again she would receive many of the same responses. But deep in her heart, it hurt to be covered in such ugly scars, Allie had been the only one to not make her feel abnormal. She smiled softly at the thought of her girlfriend, looking forward to being in her arms and feeling her comfort.
She looked up as the door opened and a tall woman entered, at first there was a slight shock to tall woman's face, but a menacing grin covered the surprise quickly. Bea watched as the woman she didn't know looked down to her abdomen, almost taking pleasure in seeing the scars there. She watched the woman intently, wondering who the hell she was, and why she seemed to be almost excited at the scars.
As a pain shot through Bea's head, she closed her eyes tightly, a faintness rolling over her like fog.
"You want it?" The voice echoed around her head, reaching from the darkness before the woman who had been stood before her just moments ago, was now stood against her, her face close enough to kiss, her breath sickly sweet against her face. She attempted to pull away, feeling a sharpness in her stomach she watched as the tall women looked down at her, a pure satisfaction covering her strict face.
"I win" she heard herself say, she knew it was her voice despite not feeling herself say it, then she felt gravity pulling her to the ground, she felt a warm dampness surround her before her eyes focused on the sky, the clouds rolling over her head, two clouds formed into seahorses above her as everything faded into black.
She awoke in the medical unit, with Bridget and Ms Bennett perched on seats beside her bed, she could read the worry on their faces immediately.
"What happened" Bea croaked, she felt dreadful.
"You passed out in the inspection room, do you remember what happened?" Bridget spoke slowly, her hand lightly rubbing Bea's arm soothingly.
Bea tried to think but her mind felt fuzzy, she shook her head and watched as the governor and Bridget glanced to each other with confusion and panic.
"The freak?" Bea asked, the memories rushing back to her, the look in the woman's eyes as she viewed the scars on Bea's abdomen, then feeling like she was going to pass out, the vision that came to her, the voices, the physical pain that washed over her.
"She was never meant to be exposed to you, we tried to process her while you were out of the prison, but somehow you got back earlier than we expected and it was just bad timing, I'm so sorry you had to see her Bea" Vera spoke softly, the strain in her voice was apparent.
"Are you ok Bea?" Bridget prompted.
"I remembered, I remembered her stabbing me... the pain in my stomach... falling to the ground... the blood..." Bea trailed off, tears forming in her eyes. Bridget remained rubbing her arm soothingly, waiting for her to continue.
"Why was she here?" Bea asked, the anger in her voice shocking both women. Bridget looked to Vera, telling her to be honest with her eyes.
"She is up for trial for the attempted murder of you, they placed her here in protective custody until she has been sentenced. I fought for it to not happen, but it has to be Wentworth, I'm so sorry Bea" Bea could hear the sincerity in the governors voice, but it did nothing to calm her anxiousness.
"I need to see Allie" Bea stated, beginning to sit up, ignoring the pain that flushed through her abdomen at the speed of her movement, she winced in annoyance.
"We want to keep you in here for monitoring for a little while longer" Vera stated, trying to ease Bea back to the bed.
"No fucking way. I want to go back to my unit. I need to see Allie, make sure she is ok. I need to be surrounded by my friends" the determination in Bea's eyes made it pointless to argue with, and so Vera nodded her agreement.
"I will escort her back, I want to have a quick chat with her on the way" Bridget stated, refusing Vera an opportunity to argue with her, she took Bea's arm and guided her towards the door.
They walked in silence for a few moments before Bridget took a big breath and glanced to the redhead that she was beginning to think of as an extension to her family through Frankie.
"I will find out what I can ok, for now... just take it easy, you still have a lot of healing to do, so keep your head down... and think about it this way, today must have been awful for you, but you have another memory back, regardless of how much of a bad memory it is, it's another memory...ok?" Bridget asked, receiving only a nod in response.
"Can I do anything for you?" Bridget asked as they approached the door to the unit, she noticed Bea's friends beginning to make their way towards her, completely unaware of what the redhead had just experienced.
"You've done everything you can, thanks... Ms. Westfall... Frankies really lucky to have you" She whispered the last part not wanting to advertise Bridget's secret and get her in trouble.
"I'm the lucky one" Bridget smiled. "Now you rest up. I will come see you first thing on Monday. If you need anything just ring Frankie and ask for me ok, any time" Bridget held Bea's gaze until she was confident that the shorter woman understood the sincerity of her request, opening the gate, she ushered Bea inside, and left without another word.
"The fucking freak" Boomer whistled with annoyance. "Why the fuck would vinegar tits let her back in here after everything she did"
"She said it's out of her hands. She seems as happy as you do about it" Bea stated, the feel of Allie's hand on her back soothing her despite still feeling in shock.
"And she just stared at you? She didn't say anything?" Liz asked, still trying to wrap Bea's story around her mind.
"She just stared, then she looked down to my scars, and she got this smile on her face... like this satisfied... demented look... like the sight of my scars turned her on or something" Bea admitted self consciously.
"Fucking freak!" Boomer fumed. "If I see her I'm going to give her some fucking scars to stare at" she promised, Bea wasn't used to seeing this side of Boomer, she had been nothing but a funny character since she returned from hospital and seeing this side of her scared her a little.
"Calm down Booms" Maxine ordered.
"Fuck that! Did you see what she did to Allie... to Bea... to all of us. I swear if she comes near either of these girls again, I'm going to rip her head off and shit down her neck" Boomer threatened causing the entire group to giggle despite the tension.
"Vinegar tits isn't going to let her get anywhere near us all" Allie promised, feeling the tension and slight tremble in her girlfriends body.
"I doubt it's the freak we have to watch for" Doreen stated. "she had help last time, and they still don't know who it was... we need to be really vigilant around here for a while" the other women nodded their agreement.
"No one is to go anywhere alone, we go as a group everywhere we can. Where we cant, we go in pairs. When Bea and Allie go for their shower, I want either Booms or me with one other person stood outside on watch" Maxi ordered.
"Is that really necessary?" Bea asked.
"Definitely" Liz agreed with Maxine.
"We aren't going to let her even have an opportunity to get to you, especially while your still healing love. Don't you worry we all have your back" Doreen added.
It was hours later when Allie finally found herself curled up around Bea. Last count had happened not that long ago, and after finishing their cups of tea, the two women excused themselves to the privacy of Bea's cell. Allie helped her change, noticing how Bea acted more self conscious about her scars and not wanting them to be seen. Allie let it slide, not wanting to push Bea after such a hard day.
"Thank you for the sunflowers, they were beautiful" Bea sighed as she shuffled backwards slightly, determined to extinguish any distance between the two women, despite how small it may be.
"not as beautiful as you" Allie cooed, her fingers stroking Bea's hip underneath the hem of the redheads t-shirt.
"I love you doing that" Bea whispered, her eyes closed as she luxuriated in the sensations coursing through her body.
"I love you" Allie whispered into the red hair surrounding her face.
"I love you too" Bea admitted, the first time that she could remember, she smiled as she felt Allies breath hitch behind her.
"I have missed hearing you say that" Allie confessed as her lips pressed against Bea's cotton covered shoulder.
"It's true though, you know. There is a lot I don't remember, there is a lot I don't know... but I know what I feel, I couldn't fight falling in love with you even if I tried to" Bea stated as she spun around with great difficulty to be face to face with the blonde.
"that is possibly the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me" Allie confessed, a blush reaching her cheeks, It was an unusual sight to see Allie blush, she was normally so confident and self sure.
"You make it so easy to say things like that" Bea confessed, her fingers finding Allies cheek and running the fingers over the soft skin beneath it.
"You're just full of charm tonight" Allie giggled.
"When your laid next to a beautiful women who you're madly in love with, how can you not be charming" Bea leant forward, her lips brushing softly against Bea's.
"Madly in love with, hey?" Allie smirked.
"Madly in love with" Bea confirmed, the smile tugging at the corner of her lips.
"You're not too bad yourself" Allie grinned, she couldn't help the smile from bursting across her face.
"That's not quite what you were saying when you tried to go down on me in the shower that first time" Bea grinned.
"Ha... well if you hadn't acted all prude and ran away, maybe you wouldn't have been saying 'tried' right now" Allie giggled.
"Maybe you should have tried harder" Bea smirked, the thought of Allies lips pleasuring her causing a flush to rise to Bea's cheeks.
"I would have had be Usain Bolt to catch up to you, you were running that fast" Allie giggled, a guffaw escaping her lips as Bea began to tickle her ribs.
"Wait... I can remember it..." Bea stated, calming instantly.
"I've told you about it several times Bea, your probably just confused about the memory" Allie frowned lightly whilst she waited for the disappointment to register on Bea's beautiful face..
"No this is different... I can see it, I can remember it... you had longer hair, like really long and the cut to your forehead, it was right here..." Bea paused, her fingers brushing against the faint scar above Allies left eyebrow. "I remember it" Bea grinned.
"That's fantastic Honey... now you just need to remember the times we actually got it on, not the times you knocked me back" Allie grinned.
"Why don't you help me remember" Bea asked suggestively.
"What do you think I have been trying to do?" Allie laughed.
"Avoiding me... knocking me back... hurting my pride" Bea threw a playful glare at Allie, her pet lip sticking from her mouth.
"Come on Babe, you know it isn't like that... your not fully recovered yet, your body is still weak. We need to wait, trust me, not touching you properly is destroying me" Allie admitted.
"Then touch me" Bea smirked, her eyebrow raising seductively.
"Bea..." Allie groaned, feeling her resolve falling.
"I am literally begging you to touch me, and your still knocking me back" Bea pouted again. "Anyone would think you have gone off of me" Bea added, faking a sniffle.
"Pah... gone off you, sure. If you could see the dreams that I have had about you, then you would know that your claim is 100% bullshit" Allie stated, laughing a little at Bea's antics.
"You've been dreaming about me?" Bea asked shyly.
"Of course I have... I dream about you all the time... what it would be like to be on the outside with you, where we would live, if we would have a dog or cat, what jobs we would do... whether we would have a child together" Allie stated nervously, the thought had crossed her mind several times, but she was unsure how Bea would react after losing Debbie.
"Really" Bea gasped, unsure how to respond. she took a few moments to gather herself before allowing her eyes to meet Allie's again, she could see the nervousness behind them. "Honestly, I don't know how I feel about having a child... another child... I don't even know how I should feel. All I can promise is that I will consider it, and when the time comes for us to talk about it properly, I will be open to your perspective... I just... right now, I can't answer that" Bea felt tears prick the back of her eyes.
"That is all I can ask for" Allie smiled warmly, her heart melting at Bea's honesty. "I also dreamt about other things... the things I want to do to you, the things I want you to do to me, the things I want us to do together" Allie grinned seductively.
"Care to share?" Bea smirked, glad that the moment wasn't completely ruined.
"How about I show you a few of them?" Allie grinned as she dived her mouth towards Bea's neck, the redhead shrieking as she felt the lips attack against her skin. She allowed Allie to roll her onto her back, where she carefully straddled the shorter woman. Her hands snaking beneath Bea's shirt, skimming lightly across her abdomen before reaching her breasts and beginning their gentle assault. Allie smirked as Bea's face was unable to hide her pleasure and desire.
"God you're stunning" Allie whispered as she leant down to capture Bea's lips with her own.
"You talking to yourself again Alliecat?" Bea purred against the soft lips assaulting hers.
"Definitely talking about you Queenie" Allie grinned
