"I'm studying Forensic Psychology."
"Oh studying? That's interesting." She didn't know Holly had a penchant for the young'uns.
"Yeah, it is interesting but also really challenging. So it keeps me on my toes. " Leah replied with a smile. She seemed like a nice chick, Gail thought to herself, but too bad she was on a date with her Holly.
"So tell me Gail, how do you know Holly?"
That was the question Gail was waiting for. She knew she was going to get into a shitload of trouble, but this was the only way to get what she wanted. "Oh Holly and I go way back" she chanced a look at Holly who was still looking at her curiously. "This one time we got a call from one of Holly's neighbours who was complaining of loud noises coming from her apartment. So we had to investigate of course. You wouldn't believe what we found.."
"What?" both the women asked in unison.
"What we found Leah, was here in bed with two hookers!" Gail whispered.
"No way!" Leah exclaimed
"Gail! what the fuck?" Holly almost shouted.
"Oh come on Holly, all that's in the past. Nothing to be embarrassed about! Now it's just a funny story that you can share with your grandchildren. Well...maybe not this particular story. So anyway, back to the story. Now normally it's none of our business what people do behind closed doors you know? But these two women, had drugs on them. So of course we had to arrest them, including here." she pointed at Holly.
Holly was mortified. Gail was clearly joking. She was waiting for Gail to just burst out laughing saying she was kidding.
"You arrested Holly? You got locked up?" She looked at Holly.
"What? no! She's kidding obviously. None of this happened. Gail tell her!" She glared at Gail.
"Sure babe, it didn't happen.." She turned and winked at Leah."She only spent a night in lockup."
"A night?!"
"That's right. Speaking of which, one of the women you hooked up, Gina? Who is a regular perp by the way, I heard she has Herpes. Chris told me when he arrested her couple of days ago. So you might, uh, wanna get that checked out Holly."
Holly just stared blankly at Gail trying to make sense of the scene playing out before her. Leah looked completely mortified and embarrassed as she moved slightly away from Holly.
"Oh, I forgot to tell ya, Andy says hi. She wanted to know if that cream that she lent you for the yeast infection, you know, helped things down there?"
"Wow..." Leah muttered immediately followed by "Owwww!"
"Oh god, I'm so sorry Leah! I didn't mean to kick you! That wasn't for you.." she turned and glared at Gail. If looks could kill..
Leah quickly stood up, "I think that's my cue to go..." she awkwardly looked at Holly and gave her a embarrassed smile.
"Good luck with, you know, stuff.." and with that she was gone.
Holly stared at Gail and gave her a swift kick under the table "What the fucking fuck? What's the matter with you Gail?" Holly thundered.
"Ouchh! That fucking hurt!"
"That was the plan! Why'd you make up those god awful stories about me?"
"Holly listen, I have a really good explanation for what just happened. Just please hear me out! Please?"
Holly didn't say a word.
"What I was trying to do was to sabotage your date.." Gail could barely look up.
"Gail that wasn't a date!"
"Wait, WHAT?"
"That wasn't a date! Leah was my sister's friend who wanted some career advice. She called me asking to meet up because she wasn't sure if forensic psychology was the right path for her and just wanted to bounce her options off of me! Oh god Gail, did you think that was a fucking date?"
Gail clamped her hand over her mouth and just stared at Holly.
"Well?"
"Why did you tell me you were going on a date? Goddammit Hol!"
"Why would I go on a date with someone when I'm dating you? I was just teasing!"
"So you weren't serious about buck teeth?"
"Were you serious about blondie?"
"Annie.."
"Gail.."
"Holly"
"Gail! No seriously! So you were here trying to sabotage my apparent date when you clearly told me you were okay with me dating someone else? why?"
"Because I'm Gail Peck.."
Apparently that was explanation enough.
"Listen Hol, I'm sorry..I'm so sorry that I embarrassed I didn't know what else to do! It completely gutted me thinking that you were on a date with someone else. The thought of someone else touching you makes me think murderous thoughts. The reason I told you that I would be okay with us dating other people was because I was kind of checking if you were serious about me. I can't help but shake the feeling that I'm not enough for you, that you could do so much better.."
"Gail.."
"Please let me finish? When I told you that I was okay with an open relationship, what I really wanted was for you to tell me that you weren't interested in anyone else. I admit that wasn't exactly a bright thing to do. The truth is, I don't want you to want anyone but me. I know we've been only dating for like a month now but you've known me for while now. No one gets me like you do Hol. I know I can be bitchy and frustratingly annoying at times. But that never seems to bother you. I mean I call you nerdface and you call me dork. Not many people are that lucky, you know, to find someone who just understands them and sticks around in spite of it all. I don't think I've ever been this happy before. The moment I met you, I was drawn to you. I'm addicted to you Holly and that scares me. We've barely started and you already have a hold on me. I'm scared that you'll wake up one day and realize you could do so much better than me and just let me go. That would devastate me, so I guess when I stupidly said that I was okay with an open relationship, it was just my fucked up way of seeing if you were really serious about me."
She reached out and took Holly's hand in hers and placed it across her heart and leaned in."You see how you fast you make my heart beat? All because of you. Also because I just got a killer view of your boobs and I've got the raging libido of a horny sixteen year old when it comes to you. Your pups always do that to me."
"My pups?"
"Yeah, I call them my puppies."
"I don't know if that's funny or sexy or both." Holly murmured.
"I'm sorry Hol, I wish I was better at this thing. At letting you know how much you mean to me."
"Gail.." Holly reached in cupped her cheek. "God you are so darn adorable."
"Not exactly the response I was looking for, but whatever".
"No seriously Gail, you'd like people to think that you are this badass cop, which you are so don't give me that look! But also, you are this big ole ball of gooey mush. And I'm so lucky that you let me see that side of you. I cannot believe that you think that you are not good enough for me Gail. I mean look at you! You are smart, strong and beautiful. Not to mention so fuckin sexy. You make me incredibly happy and I would never ever want to change a single thing about you. I adore all your quirks, it's what got me hooked onto you Gail Peck. So, no I'm not going to just up and leave one fine day. I plan on having your annoying ass in my life for a lot longer." Holly smiled and kissed her palm.
"Be with me Holly. Be mine."
"I am yours Officer. Completely and truly." Holly smiled and reached out and stroked her cheek. "But that does not mean I forgive you for making my sister's friend think that I am big fat pimp with a yeast infection and possibly Herpes!"
"About that Hol.."
"She's going to tell my sister you doofus! Oh god, my mom will hear it too!"
"Your mom is not going to believe it! I mean come on!"
"I've had quite a colourful past, so I think she would probably think it's true!"
"I'm so sorry babe. I promise I'll make it upto you. I'll clear the air with Leah, I swear!"
"You don't get off that easy! I plan on making you work really hard for my forgiveness."
"Anything, I'll do anything you want me to."
Holly leaned in and whispered in explicit detail what exactly she wanted Gail to do to her, making her eyes go wide and her jaw hit the floor.
She was still staring at Holly while she signaled for the bill and practically dragged Gail to the car.
