Ok, maybe I've been a bit M.I.A. But, being honest, I'm just lazy. And now that I have almost no responsibilities for a while, I will try to post regularly. I'll try.
As always, thank you for the reviews, you are all awesome. If you see any mistakes please tell me, and If you want to make a long fic from one of this chapters feel free.
AU where they both meet in a club
No, Holly didn't like parties. Well, actually she did, but she had a criteria. Parties with friends at their houses: Like. Parties with friends at crowded places: It could pass. Parties with those friends being Lisa and Rachel trying to help her to forget about her ex in an overcrowded place: NOT LIKE. At all. But here she was, in her best pair of tight red trousers, combat boots, a plain white T-shirt with her leather jacket and waiting for those two supposed friends that were running late. Again.
"Hol, Hol, Hol, here we are" Called Lisa leaving the cab. She was wearing a very short leather skirt, with a blue blouse and high heels.
"She couldn't pick the right outfit" Added Rachel from behind. She was wearing a very beautiful and simple red dress.
"Well, I wanted to be fab… Holly! Why are you dressed like that?!" Asked Lisa startled. Her face was pure horror.
"Like what?" Holly frowned and looked down to herself.
"Like, you know, screaming "Don't you dare to get close to me because I will rip your head""
"I think I look ok" She looked at Rachel, who smiled and nodded at her.
"Who are you looking for? Buffy?"
"I wish" murmured Holly
"I think you look great, very Holly-ish" Helped Rachel "Can we get in now? It's cold here and I want to get drunk"
They got in and found the club full of people. Like there-is-no-space-for-a-soul-in-here full. They made it to the bar and asked for their drinks. Holly just asked for a beer while her friends went with some tequila, vodka and the speciality of the club. All in a row. Then they just disappeared on the crowd dancing. She moved to a wall and stayed there, keeping an eye on her friends from the distance and swiping on her beer. So time passed.
When she was on her third beer, the music stopped and a voice started to fill the place.
"HELLO THERE PEOPLE! ARE YOU HAVING A GOOD TIME?" The crowd cheered as an answer "I CAN'T HEAR YOU" They cheered again "THAT'S BETTER! LISTEN TO ME COSTUMERS, NOW BEAUTIFUL WOMEN WILL START DISTRIBUTE SOME STICKERS WITH ANIMAL NAMES" Suddenly a hand slapped a sticker on her boob. She didn't see to who belonged that hand, but saw other people getting slapped as well with tinny and painted fingernails. "IF YOU FIND YOUR ANIMAL PARTNER YOU GET TWO FREE DRINKS, SO DOGS FIND DOGS AND LIONS FIND LIONS… COME ON PEOPLE! MAY THE LOVE BE WITH YOU!"
And all of a sudden all the crowd was moving, trying to find their animal mate, and get some free drinks. Holly looked down to inspect her sticker. It was a cloud with purple purpurin and a cocktail with olives, and written on it there was the word "SHARK".
Awesome she though. Well, let's find this other shark and get those drinks.
She moved through the crowd looking for 'SHARK'. Holly didn't know if she preferred it to be a boy, that he thinks he has an opportunity with her and having to reject him, or to be a beautiful girl who surely is straight. While she was moving she caught the sight of a very beautiful platinum girl, with stunning blue eyes and an amazing body.
"Good morrrning babe, you wanna have a good time with a tigggger?" A boy that stunk at alcohol and had very red eyes came up to her and grabbed her by the waist and pulled her against him, making her lose sight of the girl. She glared at him.
"First of all, NOT your babe" She said pushing him away. "Second of all, good morning my ass-"
"It looks good though" He struggled to say
"Third! Don't you interrupt me when I'm speaking" The guy pretended to zip his lips
" Fourth, you don't know how to talk. Don't you think you have drunk too much? Why don't you leave or change alcohol by a bit of water?"
"So, is that a no?"
She sighed "Yes, is a no"
"But why?" He moaned.
"Look, you are a tiger. I am a shark, we both are in different mediums." He stared at her, confused "Ok, fine. I like girls"
Realization hit him right in the face, making him suddenly sober. "That's totally cool ma'am, no more entertaining" He said lifting his arms in surrender "Go for the ladies then, good luck" He high-fived her and then he left.
"You what?!" A high pitched voiced screamed near her. She turned and saw a little brunette in a pink leopard dress and black high heels staring at her. She had a fluorescent drink in hand and was chewing gum so wide that she looked like a concrete mixer. Holly eyed her from head to toe, getting ready for what may happen.
"I'm sorry?"
"You just said you like girls"
"Yes" Holly answered not sure about why this was happening
"OMG! And I am a girl"
Good for you, Holly thought and stared at her for a few moments while the other girl smoothed her sticker.
"I can't believe my animal mate is a… a… chick who likes chicks" Holly just looked with wide eyes to her. She looked to her sticker to confirm that, in fact, she had a SHARK sticker"Are you, like, falling in love with me right now? Or something? Because I know I am killing it in this dress"
"I don't… you… have you ever talked to a lesbian before? We don't fall in love just because you are a girl"
"I try not to. I don't want girls falling all over me and…" A hand appeared out of the blue and ripped the girl's sticker. The beautiful blonde was now between the two of them, glaring at the concrete-mixer-girl. She put the 'SHARK' stick on her jacket and shoved her previous sticker into the other girl's cleveage.
"Leave" The now Shark-girl said quietly. The other one looked at her like she was about to say something, but the blonde gave her a look that made her turn around and disappear.
"Well, that was unexpected" Holly said smiling and looking at the girl. "I'm Holly by the way. Thank you"
"It's nothing, she was just being stupid"
"It's ok, I'm on my way to get used to it"
"Well, you shouldn't have to get used to it. People should have more brains, think before they speak"
"Thank you…"
"Gail, my name is Gail"
"Ok then, Gial. Shall we go get our drinks?"
"Sure, follow me"
Gail took her by the hand to led her to the bar. When their hands first touch both of them felt a spark spread all over their bodies, but neither thought a lot about it. That night.
After hours talking to each other, Lisa and Rachel nowhere to be found, Gail and Holly exited the club. Together. Hand in hand. Gail walked Holly where she had parked her car, 10 minutes walking from the party.
"So, I was thinking" Gail began "I had fun tonight"
"Me too"
"And maybe… If you want to... we could… you know… Because we have only known
each other for like, three hours and a half… not that I've been counting, maybe, we could"
"Gail, do you want my number so we can text and go grab some coffee?"
The blonde smiled from ear to ear "I would love to"
After the exchange, both of them looked at the names on their mobile phones.
"Knight in Shark armour? That's you code name or something?" Holly laughed
"I stick to reality" Gail said proud, then looked at her phone "Holly Stewart? That's all I get?" She began to tap quickly on her screen.
"What are you doing?"
"Changing your name, it doesn't suit you" Then Gail turned her phone and showed the new name to Holly. Miss Hot Shark (Holly Stewart). Holly couldn't help but through back her head in laughter "That stupid game, We are never forgetting this night"
"I really hope not"
Holly stopped laughing and looked at Gail straight in the eye. The blonde took a quick glance at her lips and then back to her eyes. They both met at mid distance for a sweet, slow and tender kiss. One of Gail's hands came to rest on the brunette's hip while the other one caressed carefully her cheek. Holly had grabbed the lapels of Gail's jacket and was pulling.
"I liked that" Holly whispered when they stopped kissing. Then they parted a few inches. Eyes still closed.
"Me too" Gail smiled. "I should get going, I have a family thing tomorrow" She bit her lip and looked at Holly.
"Maybe you should"
Gail started walking backwards, smile on her face, looking at Holly who had a very similar expression.
"Talk to you tomorrow Lunchbox"
"Lunchbox? What?"
Gail just shrugged "I saw that Lunchbox you have on your backseat"
"It's a forensic kit!" Holly shouted
"No it's not, but we can debate during dinner"
"Perfect"
