Creating Us Chapter 6

Mysteries

Monday was probably the longest day Holly had ever had, literally and emotionally. She got to the temp house at 4 a.m. She met with the contractor and they discussed the blueprints. She could tell Victor had purposely sent this one. She was downright gorgeous. Bright brown eyes, brunette locks, and a cheery attitude. Holly couldn't help but be amused at how adorable this chick was.

"You and I will get along just fine Ms. Stewart, I love your attention to detail." Chloe smiled.

"Whatever it takes to get this project done, right? And call me Holly, please." the architect smiled.

"Alright, Holly. How about we get this show on the road."

They walked out to the property, making last minute observations and Chloe explaining what they would be doing today.

"By the end of this week, I will make sure we have basement dug up and a solid foundation for the house."

"You think that's possible?" Holly winced

"Of course, I'm the one in charge. And I'm going to make you really happy, Ms. Architect." Chloe smiled grazing Holly's arm lightly.

By 10 A.M. , bulldozers and other heavy machinery along with at least a hundred workers had made their way to the Peck property. Holly was leaning over the blueprints with a very flirty Chloe standing next to her.

"Glasses suit you very well." Chloe smiled pushing the glasses further up Holly's nose.

"And I find the fact that a sweet young girl like you can boss around 100+ men, your author authoritative side is extremely sexy." The brunette smirked facing the other woman.

"Oh really..."

"Excuse me, am I interrupting anything." Gail said from the other side of the kitchen. The other women hadn't heard her walk in and immediately distanced themselves from each other.

"Ms. Peck, I'm sorry." Holly started, she was so embarrassed that she referred to her professionally.

"Ms. Peck, it's great to finally meet you, I've heard so much about you. I'm Chloe Price."

"And what are you exactly." Gail asked in a tone Holly couldn't exactly place.

"She's the contractor." Holly smiled.

"Ah, so you'll be working close with this one. Make sure she does a good of a job as you, Ms. Stewart."

The next two months went by quickly. Chloe and Holly had done a remarkable job with the home's structure. The basement and first level's skeleton were finished and the last floors were getting there.

"Chloe seems sweet..." Gail said to Holly one evening.

"She's amazing. I never thought if ever make such a great team with someone." Holly smiled.

"How long have you guys been dating?" Gail asked readjusting herself on the couch the brunette and her shared while watching FRIENDS reruns.

"Gail, I don't ever mix personal and work life."

"You should break your rule. You guys seem perfect for each other."

"You might think so. But honestly, I prefer someone who keeps me on my toes." Holly smiled looking into Gail's gorgeous orbs.

"She doesn't?"

"No, she says and does all the right things, don't get me wrong it's amazing. But I'd rather have someone to bite at me. To mess with my head, take my breath away, leave me dumbfounded. Someone who's an adventure. Someone difficult yet sweet. Someone intriguing, leaving me thirsty for more, yearning for her body and soul."

"Have you met someone like that?" Gail smiled.

"I think I have. Will you excuse me?" Holly got up and ran out the door and took a long breath. What was she doing? Did she want to lose her job? Gail is straight! Gail is engaged! Gail is unavailable! She breathed carefully, her heart was racing and she needed to calm her nerves.

"You okay there champ?" Chloe said bubbly.

"What?" Holly managed when she realized Price was right in front of her.

"You look sick. Would you like me to get-" Chloe tried to say before Holly had her lips crashing into the shorter woman's.

Gail watched the exchange from the window. As a woman who was great at hiding emotion from others and especially herself, she knew that this green tinted emotion was something she hadn't felt in an extremely long time.

"Holly." Chloe breathed as she broke the kiss.

"I'm so sorry."

"Look you're really gorgeous, and honestly I'd be honored to sleep with you or whatever. But it doesn't take a wise man to see that your heart belongs to someone else. You need to tell her, Holly."

"What?!" Holly breathed out

"I'll see around Holly."

Gail's new found emotions lead her to a breakdown. She decided to take on a lot more cases than usual. She was at work around the clock, leaving time here and there to check on the construction of the house. Holly noticed this, Gail was barely there and now most things went straight to Nick. It was for the best Holly thought. After two months her and Nick had become a lot friendlier. He was still the same douche she met almost 6 months ago, but I guess he was now more tolerable. The architect couldn't remember the last time she had talked to Gail, maybe it was a month, month and a half.

The rough framing, rough plumbing, electrical, and HVAC were all installed and ready. With the corresponding inspections passed Chloe was ready for the upcoming months.

Holly and Chloe had been going at it, 16 hour days sometimes even 18. Nick loved their passion and he and his fiance were more than generous. Gail's deadline was the most important piece of the puzzle and they would NOT let her down.

By the beginning of the sixth month the insulation, drywall and interior textures were being finished. And the crew began the exterior finishes. The worst winter months were coming and they had to make sure everything was ready.
There were two weeks left till Christmas, so that meant trying to meet deadlines and a little more so that they could please Gail.

Holly wasn't supposed to go into work today. Something in her told her to go check on Chloe, the young woman had been great to her so the least she could do is bring her lunch on her day off. When the architect got to the temp house she realized that the site was empty, there were no workers. She found it odd but realized that it WAS lunch time. Chloe was the type of contractor that ate on her work so Holly was sure that she'd be inside.

The brunette unlocked the door and walked inside, it was quiet. The blueprints and plans were laid out but there was no sign of Chloe. She made her way to the room where the model was and that's when she heard it. Holly was smart enough to know that those moans weren't of desperation. Her curiosity got the best of her and she peeked in. The architect made Nick out, and immediately turned away. Her heart raced, she knew who was under him, who he was making scream in pleasure. She winced, but as she listened in she realized that that voice was certainly not Gail's. Now she was worried, she felt it in her gut that she had to know who it was. Carefully she peaked into the room and made sure it was Nick. Then looked at the woman under him and realized that it certainly wasn't Gail. The architect ran out of the house and into her car where she sat for a moment too long. She started the engine and sped away.

Sorry for the late update! I've been having a tough time with this story, I was going a completely different way with what I had planned and ended up hating it and erasing 3 chapters. I liked my first idea so here it is.
