"Allie are you ready to go I'm all done with work did you want to go to the Shelter to help with dinner or want to get dropped off at home" Bea asked
for the past few weeks Allie has been working at the shop she is still Staying with Bea and helping out at the shelter
"Yeah I'm ready and I'll help tonight"
"Ok let's go"
They said bye to Maxine and made their way out of work to the shelter the food was done they only had to serve it about an hour later they were almost done when boomer came up Bea made her a plate and handed it to her she then took her gloves off while Allie starting to clean up
"Hey Bea can you do my hair soon" boomer said walking up
"Yeah how about tomorrow I'll come do it"
"Sounds good oh I forgot to tell you I might get an apartment well I applied for one the lady said she will call me tomorrow telling me if I got it or not"
"That's great booms I hope you get it I'm proud of you"
"Thanks Bea" she said walking away
"Boomer just reminded me You owe me you know" Allie said to Bea
"For what"
"You said you would do my hair"
"I do I can do it tomorrow what do you want done"
"You know better than I do what do you think"
Bea looked over Allie while she tried to decide what would look good on her Allie was a gorgeous woman it's hard to find what would look good she is already so pretty
"I think a cut and maybe lighter on the color"
"Well I trust you so let's do it"
"I have all the stuff to do it at the apartment I'll do it when I am done with booms"
"Ok it's a date" Allie then left to finish cleaning
Later that night Allie was laying in the guest room reading well I stopped reading a while ago her thoughts were just going wild she started sleeping in the guest room a few weeks ago I wanted to give Bea space and myself to i was falling for Bea smith and I can't stop myself like I know I'm falling but there is nothing to catch me so I keep falling until it's too late at first I denied it I thought it was because everything Bea has done for me i thought it was me just being really thankful and appreciating everything she has done but no the more i spend time with Bea the more i likes her what is not to like about her i tried asking about Debbie and Beas nightmares that have only happened that once that i knows of and the whole neighbor thing to but I couldn't find the right time I almost asked Maxine about Debbie to see if she knew but I couldn't get her alone to ask a knock on the door
"Come in"
"Hey I'm back with the pizza come eat"
Allie got up and walked out of the room she saw Bea put the food out on the coffee table
"why are we eating in here" Allie asked
"It's Friday my show is on right now"
Oh right Bea has been into some baking show making Allie watch it with her it's not like Allie minded though they finished their dinner
"I'm going to put the leftovers in the fridge I rented some new scary movie want to watch it with me" Bea said getting up when the show ended
"Yeah sounds good" Allie didn't know why she agreed she hated scary movies
Bea came back handing the popcorn to Allie then put the movie on and shut off the lights she went and sat on the couch next to Allie so they could share the popcorn that was on Allies lap this movie isn't so bad Allie thought it is about 20 minutes into the movie now and it not to scary she felt tense she was on edge scary movies always did this to her
Bea looked over to Allie to see her sitting there all tense really into the movie Bea hasn't really paid any attention to it she was too busy thinking about Allie over the past few weeks Bea has realized she is attracted to Allie she likes the woman which confuses her she wasn't gay but Allie made her question it Maxine did said it isn't about the sex it's about the person well Allie is a great person it's not like I would do anything about it Allie doesn't like her that way she would want someone more her age and not so shut off like herself she hasn't told the blonde anything about herself she hasn't even mentioned that she was her babysitter this was all new to Bea maybe she should talk to Maxine about this all of a sudden Allie jumped spill the popcorn making Bea laugh
"It's not funny Bea" Allie said her face red as she picked up the popcorn Bea moving closer to help her
"It was funny if this movie is to scary we can turn it off" Bea said
"No im fine I swear it was just a little scary" Allie said not trying to look like a wimp in front of Bea
"Come sit next to me if you get scared I'll keep you safe"
A few minutes later Allie jumped again she then moved so she was sitting her knees to her chest Bea smiled at how cute Allie was she was obliviously scared she was stubborn Bea didn't mind turning the movie off she doesn't even know what's going on Allie got scared again so she closed her eyes she opened them jumping when she felt a light pull on her arm it was only Beas hand pulling Allie into her Allie scooted into Beas side Bea wrapping her arm around her feeling butterflies instantly pretty soon Allie face was in Beas neck causing Bea to get goosebumps at the close contact Bea turned the movie off with the remote
"Are you ok Allie"
"Yeah I am" Allie felt Bea shake slightly
"Are you cold" Allie asked pulled away
"Yes a little" Bea said not wanting to tell Allie she was the reason for it
Allie gave her the blanket from the back of the couch Allie looked around the room her eyes landing on the picture of her and Bea
"Hey Bea" Allie said getting up walking to the picture
"Yeah"
"Why haven't you to me you were my neighbor Bea smith"
"I was going to when I found out"
"Why didn't you"
"I found out when we met as soon as you told me your name I knew it was you I didn't think it was the right time you were barely getting clean I know I should have told you I'm sorry Allie" Bea said walking over to her thinking Allie was going to be mad she was surprised when Allie wrapped her arm around her pulling her into a warm embrace
"You aren't mad Allie"
"No why would in be mad"
"Because I knew and didn't tell you" Allie pulled back rightly but didn't let go of Bea
"Ive known for weeks now I was looking at your pictures and saw the one of us Bea those were the best few years of my life you and your mum were amazing to me when you didn't have to I remember I was at your house for all the holidays and weekends hell I pretty much lived there my parents were never home do you remember that snow globe you bought me for Christmas it was my favorite gift I ever got I was devastated when I accidentally dropped it and it broke it was all I had left of you and your mum when she passed away and you moved I dropped it when I was moving out of my house I think it was like 4 years after you left" Allie had a few tears on her face
"I'm so sorry I moved away I wonder if thing would have been different if I stayed there maybe you wouldn't have had to go through everything you did" Bea wiped the tears away leaving her hand stroking Allies cheek
"Don't be sorry Bea you can't prevent things from happening in a weird way I think everything that did happen was supposed to it led us back to each other" Allie leaned into the touch
"I wish I could you wouldn't of had to sleep in ally's or god knows where or do the drug and the job I wish I could have prevented it"
"You couldn't and I'm ok now"
"Your my Allie cat" Bea said causing Allie to laugh
"You are always my knight in shining armor Bea smith" Allie said looking Bea in the eyes
"Always" Bea yawned
"Let's go to bed you have to get up early"
"Ok"
"Goodnight Bea" Allie hugged her and kissed her on the cheek
"Goodnight Allie cat" They both went to their rooms to go to sleep
Later that night Allie woke up to Bea screaming she ran into Beas room
"You killed her" bea was screaming
"Bea wake up" Allie said shaking Bea it didn't work
"You monster you killed her" Bea had tears streaming down her face
"Bea wake up" Allie yelled shaking her waking Bea up causing her to sit up
she sat next to Bea before Bea could run away like last time Allie pulled her in hugging her not letting her go bea not being able to hold it together she sobbed into Allie all Allie could do was hold her she placed a gentle kiss on Beas head 30 minutes had passed by when Bea finally calmed down
"I'm sorry" Bea whispered
"You have nothing to be sorry for"
"Yes I woke you up all because I was loud"
"Hey don't worry about that I want to Bea here I'm worried about you"
"I'm ok"
"I'm here for you if you ever want to talk about it Bea"
"I don't want to right now I want to try to get more sleep"
"Ok I'll let you sleep I better go" Allie went to get up but was stopped
"Wait can you stay please it really helps being here with you"
"Of course I will" Allie guided them so they were laying down Allies arm around Bea
"Thank you Allie cat"
"No problem at all Bea" a little while later Bea was asleep once again Allie was confused she didn't know what was the cause of Beas nightmares she needed to know Allie finally let herself fall sleep with Bea wrapped in her arms
