Chapter 13
Maxine and Allie were meeting up with Franky for dinner after work bea was going to the shelter so she wasn't going
"So where are we eating" Allie asked Maxine as they were driving
"A pizza place Franky picked its right around the corner not far from work"
"Sounds good" a few minutes later and Maxine parked they got out and walked in
"Hey you two" Franky said hugging them as they walked over
"Hey Franky" Allie said
"Oh so I have someone else meeting us here" franky said
"Who" Maxine asked
"There she is" Franky said nodding to the door Allie and Maxine turned around to see who
"Mum" Allie said shocked when she saw Kaz she jumped up and hugged Katz tightly when she got to the table
"Hey babe miss me" Katz said pulling away slightly looking at Allie like she hasn't seen her in forever
"You have no idea how much I have missed you" Allie said a few tears dropping
"I hope these are happy tears" Kaz said wiping them away
"Of course they are"
"Good I can't wait to catch up with you" Kaz kissed allies cheek hugging her one more time before taking her hand and sitting down
"Hello I'm Maxine"
"Hey I'm Kaz I'm a friend of Franky and Allie"
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you"
"I hope you like my surprise Allie" Franky said
"I love it Franky you are the best When did you get out" Allie said looking at kaz
"A week ago I called Franky I couldn't get ahold of you"
"Yeah I'm sorry about that I don't have that number or live there anymore"
"We can talk about all that later babe right now I'm starving"
They all ordered a pizza to share
"So Beas birthday is next week I was thinking we should throw her a small surprise get together" allie said
"That would be great I'll cook" Franky said
"Who is bea"
"Our friend you will meet her eventually" Maxine said
They finished eating and planning Beas birthday they all headed out
"Want to hangout for a bit Allie" Kaz said
"Yeah sure"
They said bye then headed to a park they sat on a nearby bench in silence for awhile
"How are you kiddo" Kaz said breaking the silence
"I'm doing good"
"Franky said you were into drugs again"
"I was Kaz I didn't have anywhere to go I started my old job and drugs again"
"I see you are clean now" kaz observed
"Yeah I am well I met bea in a woman's shelter she was serving dinner so she caught my attention I went back a few times just to see her she seemed familiar to me well one night a client I had dragged me into a alley he was beating me bea came and pretty much saved me she took me to her apartment she got me off drugs helped me get a job I'll always be grateful for bea also remember how I told you about my neighbor" kaz nodded
"Well she is that be smith"
"Wow" Kaz said
"I know it is pretty crazy almost like we were meant to cross paths again I like getting to know her we obviously aren't the same we were all those years ago kaz can I be honest with you"
"Of course you can tell me anything"
"I like bea I might even love her all I know is I'm falling for her it scares me kaz but I can't help it she really is amazing and she is beautiful inside and out it's hard not to fall for her"
"Does she know"
"No I haven't told her she doesn't like me like that and I wouldn't want to make things awkward plus she can do a lot better than me"
"You are quite a catch babe anyone would be lucky to have to"
"I'm fine with being Beas friend if that is all I get I'm ok with that"
"Are you really" Kaz gave Allie a questioning look
"No I wouldn't it's hard enough I have to keep my distance from her sometimes I sleep with her she has nightmares and the only thing that calms her is me she said I help her"
"Nightmares" kaz asked
"Yeah she has been through so much she lost her daughter a few years ago"
"That's horrible"
"I know"
So I'm assuming all the cuddling isn't helping you with your crush on her it's probably making it worse"
"Yeah but I love it it's nice sleeping next to someone i love it when she is wrapped in my arms I know its cheesy but I do love it"
"You really like her" Allie only nodded
"Be careful I don't want you hurt"
"I will"
They talked a few more hours until allies phone rang
"Hey bea" kaz smirked as allies face lit up when she saw who was calling
"Where are you"
"I'm with an old friend her name is kaz frankly surprised me earlier with her and we were just catching up"
"You had me worried sick Maxine and Franky weren't answering there phone its late and you weren't back yet I didn't know what happened to you and you didn't answer your phone earlier I even texted"
"Hey calm down I'm sorry I worried you bea I lost track of time I'll be home right now"
"It's ok take your time I'm sorry I overreacted I just didn't know if something happened to you I guess I'm just on edge since I got those pictures yesterday" bea said slightly embarrassed
"Don't apologize you don't have to be sorry for caring bea It's late anyways I'll be home soon"
"Ok I'll wait up for you Allie cat"
"Bye bea" Allie hung up with a huge smile on her face
"My god you are quite smitten by this woman it" Kaz said making Allie blush
"I told you I was well I should get going bea was called worried she didn't know where I was I'm going to check on her"
"I'll give you a ride home babe"
The car ride was silent until they pulled up to the apartment they both got out
"I'll walk you in" they made it to the door
"I'm happy to see you Mum don't be a stranger come see me whenever" Allie wrote her number down and gave it to kaz
"You look good Allie I'll see you later sweet girl" Kaz pulled her into a warm embrace
The front door opened
"Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt I thought you were by yourself Allie cat" bea said
"No problem bea this is kaz and Katz this is bea"
"Nice to meet you I've heard a lot about you" Katz said
"Nice meeting you to"
"bye Kaz" Allie said she than leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek
"Bye bea bye babe"
"Bye" bea felt jealousy run threw her why did Allie kiss her and why did she call her babe who was she to my Allie cat wait no bea she isn't yours you have no right to be jealous bea thought
"Come on I need some water" Allie said wrapping her arm around Beas waist pulling her inside with her she let go of bea grabbed a water then sat on the couch so she was facing bea
"I didn't mean to rush you home"
"It's fine I just lost track of time talking to kaz"
"She seems nice" bea said trying to hide her jealousy which didn't go unnoticed by Allie why was bea jealous Allie thought
"She really is she is great she's amazing I love her" Allie said noticing bea tense slightly
"How do you know her is she an old girlfriend or something" bea said sounding jealous why would you asked that bea thought to herself
"Is bea smith jealous" Allie smirked knowing bea was she poked Beas side moving closer to her
"No" bea said quickly poking her back
"Sure sounds like it"
"Well I'm not I was just curious" bea said blushing
"For your information she isn't a girlfriend she is like my mum"
"Oh" bea said feeling stupid
"By the way you being jealous is pretty cute bea" Allie said staring right at bea she was feeling more confident all of a sudden maybe it's because she is in such incredible mood today
"Really" bea asked her dark eyes meeting allies blue ones
"Yeah it was cute you are cute" Allie said noticing how close they were she couldn't break her trance with bea it was so easy getting lost in her eyes
Bea felt butterflies in her stomach the way Allie looked at her gave her chills bea couldn't help her eyes from glancing down to allies lips
Allie saw Beas eye move to her lips does she want to kiss her Allie wanted to lean in but something kept holding her back what if she was reading the signs wrong what if bea didn't want that than things would be awkward around them you know what screw it it's worth the risk she reached up and cupped Beas cheek
Bea leaned in to allies touch she loved it the feeling she couldn't help herself she leaned closer to allie wanting to desperately feel her lips on hers she stopped
Allie leaned closer ready to close the distance between them her heart pounding she was almost positive bea could hear it she was so close she could feel Beas breath on her lips when their lips almost touched Beas phone started ringing causing them to pull apart bea got up to answer the phone Allie decided to go to bed
Bea watched as Allie got up and went to her bed room she sighed frustrated
"What's wrong bea" Maxine said
"Hang on a second" bea walked to her room and closed the door so Allie couldn't hear
"Ok"
"Are you alright you sounded like something was wrong"
"Um Allie and I almost kissed"
"What when"
"Like a few minutes ago the phone ringing interrupted us"
"I'm sorry"
"You obviously had no idea its fine"
"Well how did it happen" Maxine asked sounding excited
"Well I may have got a little jealous when I saw her and kaz together I thought they used to be girlfriends then she said I was cute and I just got caught in the moment"
"Did you want it to happen"
"Yes I really did the other day I wanted it to I almost kissed her than chickened out last minute and I just kissed the corner of her mouth than I apologized"
"What did she do"
"She didn't mind it"
"You two clearly want it go for it with her"
"I don't want things to be awkward if it doesn't work out"
"Don't worry about that bea take the risk"
"I'll think about it what did you call for"
"oh yeah I was going to tell you ill be late going into work tomorrow will you take one of my clients in the morning"
"Yeah no problem"
They both hung up bea got up to go see Allie but decided to leave it until tomorrow they could talk about it later
