Gail knocked on the classroom door and popped her head in. Holly was hunched over, showing a student something in the book on the desk. She stepped into the room and waited for the brunette to finish speaking before she said "can I talk to you for a moment Ms. Stewart."
Holly stood immediately, pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose with a goofy smile playing at her lips. "Of course," she gestured to the hall before turning back to the class "I'll be right outside just keep doing what you're doing."
"You're never gonna call me Holly while we're here are you?" She questioned as she shut the door.
"You're a teacher, we're in a school and it's school hours so no. I will not address you by your first name." Gail smiled. She knew it got to Holly, not much but enough for it to be funny so she kept up the act.
"So to what do I owe the pleasure officer?" Holly licked her lips as she appraised the blonde in full uniform. Was the temperature turned up in the halls?
The gaze didn't go unnoticed by Gail and she smirked. "I need you to do something for me." her voice low as she stepped a little closer to the teacher.
Holly didn't get much time to let her mind wander as she heard her students start to get too comfortable in her absence. With a small shake of her head and a chuckle from Gail she was back to the present, "want to elaborate on that?"
"I have to work much later than usual, long story, so I was wondering if you could bring the gremlins to 15. When you can, I know you like to get stuff done here after school. If you can't that's cool too, I can send someone or whatever." Gail rambled.
"I can do that."
"Cool."
"Cool." Holly smiled, getting lost -once again- in those piercing blue eyes.
"Cool."
"You said that."
Gail rolled her eyes, "you know it sounded familiar."
A yell for someone to stop broke their trance. Holly pointed over her shoulder with a thumb, "I should uh."
Gail nodded and watched as Holly turned the door handle. But before she went she kissed Gail on the cheek, getting a few oo's from watching children and leaving Gail's skin tingling for hours after.
Gail's phone buzzed sending a few gazes her way, a quick glare took care of that.
What's the password?
What're you talking about there Lunchbox
For the kids to accept a ride.
Oh right. It's cheesepuffs
Somehow I'm not surprised.
"What's got you smiling like a schoolgirl?" Steve smirked from across the room. Gail threw a half full water bottle at him, successfully hitting him in the head.
"Hey aren't you supposed to be somewhere? Unless you're being late on purpose."
"And why would I do that? I'd have to listen to a certain young lady run down how inconvenient my being late was for her, and then I'd have to make it up somehow." Gail replied as she read over the case for the umpteenth time. This case was why she was going to be there late, it was a headache to say the least.
"It's worth it though, isn't it?" Steve continued to push the issue.
She flipped a page really loudly, "I have no idea what you're talking about Steven. I think you might be losing it."
"So you being late more times in the past month then you have in their entire lives has nothing to do with a certain teacher"
"Purely coincidental."
"Okay." Steve held his hands up in surrender. "Do you want me to go get them? You're very busy and I don't want Ollie to have to miss her toons." he asked with faux worry.
"No need." she stood abruptly and walked out of the office, leaving a smirking detective behind. She had to find the little portable tv she had gotten Oliver to invest in and a few other supplies to keep the twins occupied so she'd be able to work. Gail found a couple of empty chairs, pads of paper and a few colours sharpies, a box but and put them all in the office she was working in. Still no tv or snacks, I can send a rookie later for snacks. Spotting her old t.o. she waved him down.
"Do you know where the portable tv is?"
Oliver half smiled, "you can't be watching tv just because you're riding the desk, Gail. No matter how much I like you."
Gail sighed. "It's not for me, it's for Zander and Ollie." she explained.
"It's on my desk." He smiled warmly and patted her shoulder.
"Look who's watching tv while riding the desk, Sergeant." Gail joked and walked past him up to his office. It wasn't hard to find in the piles of paper work as it sat on top and was turned up. With a chuckle Gail turned it off and fit it under her arm, heading back to her desk to get back to work.
A round of giggles sounded from the hall. Giggles she knew all too well and she smiled just as Chris walked in Zander in one arm and Ollie in the other and a slightly worried Holly not too far behind.
"Any idea what I should do with these perps?" Chris asked seriously, standing with his hands on his hips and the twins dangling from each arm in a fit of giggles.
Holly wasn't sure where to stand, should she go? Gail was at work and had only asked her to bring the kids, which she had, and they were obviously safe. But the scene playing out in front of her was too amusing and she really did want to say hi to the blonde, even if it was only for a second.
Gail stood, stroking her nonexistent beard and hummed. She inspected the suspects, poking their ticklish spots, asking silly questions and over all circling them while stroking her bread.
"You can leave them here for observation, but if they get too out of control I'll send them to a more secure holding cell, thank you Officer Diaz."
The half puppy half man set the twins on their feet, "oh and there's the victim. I thought you'd want to question her yourself since you've been working on this case for 6 years."
The twins scoffed at the same time. "7 years Uncle Chris." Zander corrected as if he was offended.
All eyes were now on Holly as everyone waited her to continue with the bit. She was caught up in watching everyone that she didn't notice it was her turn until the kids giggled and the lips she'd been staring at smirked.
"She might be in shock, give her some space guys. Gremlins go find a rook to get us food." Gail chuckled as they dispersed. Leaving Holly with a light blush under the officers gaze.
"Wanna stay for a while? I'm on break in a few." Gail mused, taking small steps toward Holly until the tips of their shoes touched. She wrapped her arms around Holly's waist and leaned in for a brief kiss, just long enough to get an 'ew' from one of the kids who hadn't quite left yet and send a rush of heat through her body. Pulling away she smiled, noticing Holly take a few seconds before opening her eyes.
"As much as I'd love to, cause I really would, I already have plans and they can't be cancelled." Holly breathed.
Gail gave her a chaste kiss, "you sure?"
Holly groaned. "Unfortunately."
Another kiss.
"Really I would stay if I could."
Another kiss.
"Kay I should go."
Kiss. Kiss.
"You're killing me Officer Peck."
"You can leave anytime Lunchbox." Gail smirked into another kiss, earning herself a moan from the brunette.
Holly let go of Gail and took a step back, kiss. "Alright, see you later."
"Thank you for bringing me my gremlins."
One more kiss, just long enough to last, to linger until their lips could meet again. "Anytime Officer Peck." Holly winked and walked out of the room before Gail could open her eyes, move, do anything to stop her because she really did need to get going. She was going to be late as it is and Gail was very intoxicating.
