Allie poked her head out of the laundry supply room door and looked around. The air was clear nobody was around and she couldn't hear steps or voices either. Turning back she waved at Boomer.
- All clear, come on!
Boomer was carrying a big bucket with her treasured brew inside. They placed both of the sticky bags into a bucket. It was easier to carry them that way. Allie walked few steps in front of her making sure their route was clear. Reaching the top of the stairs she was relieved to see that the laundry trolley was still there where they left it. She picked up few sheets from it and after Boomer placed the bucket inside she put them back effectively covering it.
- Thank you. – Boomer said as she started pushing the trolley.
- For what?
- Helping me, duh! – Boomer rolled her eyes at the blonde.
- My pleasure Booms. I´m happy to help, its fun.
- There is nothing fun about me being robbed. – The bigger woman complained making Allie chuckle.
Their plan was simple. Moving the brew will keep it safe and out of reach from unwanted takers. Staking out the laundry room was not successful but this should help. They have decided to move it into the kitchen and hide it under the middle shelf in the equipment room. Not the safest place but it should do until they catch the thief or come up with some better solution.
- I´m glad that you are here. – Boomer said to Allie as they turned a corner.
- Well, thanks!
- I meant that I´m happy that you and Bea you know. That you two…
- Ok, ok I get it, no need for details. – Allie hissed at Boomer's not so subtle tone of voice.
- You are good for her. I have never seen her this happy and relaxed. You must be really good in…
- Booms, you should stop this. It is funny, I know, but once you will say something like this in front of other people and Bea will rip you a new one. – she said as they finally walked into the kitchen. Allie made few steps forward her eyes quickly scanning the room. Thankfully no one was there. She moved to the equipment room and opened the door for Boomer.
- Put it there! – Allie pointed at the bottom shelf. – Take out that box first, there should be enough room behind it for the bucket. Then we will cover it.
Boomer nodded and carefully placed the bucket down so she could move closer to the shelf. Space was small so Allie just stayed by the door, pulling it close watching Boomer shuffling with the box. It was hard for her to lean down in this small space and she started sweating. Wiping it off with her hand she whispered.
- I really hope this will help blondie.
- No worries Booms, my plan is perfect. Nobody knows we moved it. We just have to stake out the laundry storage now that the brew is safe. The thief will look for it and I´m sure she will be surprised not finding it, so she will act strangely and we will get her.
- It makes sense, I have to give you that. I really hope it will work.
Suddenly Allie felt a push on the door. "Shit!" she thought. Quickly she leaned against it and tried to hold it closed.
- Booms, hurry! – she whispered.
- What?
- Hurry, someone is at the door! – Allie said and right after that, they heard banging on the door.
- Fuck! – Boomer said as she fell on the ground while trying to move the bucket.
That is what Allie thought too, they are fucked. She felt a nudge on the door. They will be shived by someone who saw them and guessed they are moving something valuable because they were acting too suspiciously or if it's the screws they will end up in the slot. Boomer was still on the floor trying to collect herself, she managed finally to get on her knees and now she was trying quickly hide the bucket but obviously without success.
- Allie, it is me, open the door.
- Oh, thank god!- Allie breathed out after recognizing her favorite redhead´s voice. She stepped forward and opened the door letting Bea slip in. – Bea, you scared the crap out of me.
- What the hell are you two doing? – The redhead asked completely thrown back by the sight of Boomer on her knees hovering over some bucket.
- We moved the brew here. – Allie said leaning in and kissing the stunned redhead on the cheek.
- Hey Bea! – Boomer casually said as she was putting the box back in front of the bucket. – Should be good, right? – she asked and looked up at the two.
- Yeah, it looks good. Nobody will notice it. – Allie said.
- But if they do, you will be in trouble. – Bea chipped in. – Did you have to hide it exactly here?
Allie took her hand and smiled.
- No worries, it will be fine, nobody will find it.
Bea just rolled her eyes not really wanting to get into a fight with Allie. Maybe she could convince her later to move it somewhere else to some less incriminating place. She intertwined her fingers with the blondes and smiled at her. She was looking for Allie when she saw them carrying a bucket with what she rightly assumed was the brew towards the kitchen. This was not exactly the way she wanted to find the blonde but the outcome was the same.
- Booms, I think that you will find the girls outside. – Bea said smirking at Allie who squeezed her hand and licked her lips in response.
- Cool, let's go! We can talk to Anna. – Boomer stood up.
- Who is Anna? – The redhead asked with raised eyebrows.
- She will help us staking out the laundry supply room.
- Oh god, - Bea groaned. Maybe it was not a good idea to let these two play detectives. Obviously they took it too seriously and went all in. Most probably it will bring trouble sooner or later.
- We can´t talk to her on the yard Booms. Whoever is stealing might be outside and see us. You just go and find the girls. We will stay here a bit. – Allie winked. Boomer looked between the two of them.
- Ahhhhh, alriiiiiiiight! I get it now! – she said smiling as she walked past them. Allie closed the door behind her never letting go of Bea´s hand.
- Are you having fun with Booms? – the redhead asked.
-Yes, I do but not as much as with you. – Came the reply and soon enough Bea felt a pair of lips on hers. Allie´s hands wrapped tightly around the top dog as she pulled her close while sucking on her bottom lip. Bea slipped her arms around the blonde with a smile. She couldn't help it her mouth just kept spreading into a big smile every time the blonde was around. What she felt when the blonde was this close is indescribable though. Allie Novak is warm, soft, smells good and feeling her tongue inside her own mouth made Bea´s head spin and legs go weak. She grasped at the younger woman´s hips trying to hold on and pulling her close in the same time. Allie swirled her tongue in the redhead´s mouth, their tongues brushed and Bea moaned softly into the kiss. The door gave out a dull thud as she leant against it harshly. She felt dizzy and yet so grounded. Kissing never felt like this before and the redhead felt warmth spreading through her body rapidly. Allie sucked on her tongue and Bea´s hands started wandering. While hesitating between going under the blonde´s t-shirt or rather sliding up, it was Bea this time, who slid her tongue into the younger woman´s mouth kissing her passionately before deciding to slide her hand up over the smooth fabric of Allie´s shirt. Maybe she hesitated before but now reaching the swell of the younger woman´s breast she didn't hesitated at all. She palmed the soft mound and squeezed softly. The reaction was instant. Allie´s knees buckled and her grip on the redhead tightened. A soft moan escaped her lips and her body slumped against Bea´s who instinctively hardened her grip pulling the younger woman against her body. Their tongues brushed against each other in a wet passionate kiss before Allie pulled away.
- I have to find Boomer! – she said with shaking voice and opened the door.
-What?- Bea asked her eyes glowing with confused haze. - No way! – She grabbed her elbow before she could step out. -You just said that you have more fun with me.
- Sure I do, but you know her, she is probably already talking to Anna and they will spook the thief.
Before Bea could even blink the blonde was gone. "What the hell!" – Bea thought. "This is not right. " Allie was pulling away lately. Suddenly there was a lump in Bea´s throat. "What this all mean?" – she was clueless. Taking few deep breaths to calm her racing heart she walked out of the equipment room and decided to go outside and get some fresh air. She needed some distraction from her confused and upset thoughts.
XXXXXX
The women were quietly working and talking. The laundry room was as peaceful as it could be in a place like Wentworth. Bea was working the steam press but her eyes were glued to the young blond standing across the room folding clothes.
-Bea, you are not listening.- Maxine said as she looked at the redhead and saw the love-struck face on her friend. – Even if it's cute how you can't peel your eyes off Allie.
Bea looked at the taller woman who was standing next to her.
- I don't know what you are talking about.
Maxine smiled.
- Oh, honey, I´m sure that you exactly know what I'm talking about. The eye shag you are giving her is not subtle at all.
Bea froze for a little bit. She didn´t do that, did she? Trying to recollect her memories she opened the press and took out the sheet. What was she thinking about? She was simply admiring how good Allie looked in her white shirt. Yeah, the white shirt suits her very well. She looks good in hoodie too though. Actually, Allie is looking good in everything. Bea smiled. Yeah, she is cute and beautiful all the time but there are times when she is simply just breathtaking.
- I never felt like this Maxi. All I want to do is just touch and kiss her.
- That is good Bea, there is nothing wrong with that.
- I'm not sure. I think that she doesn't like it and I don't know if it is me as a person or if in general.
- Oh, Bea, I think that you are totally wrong about this. You should talk to Allie.
- I'm not wrong about this. We are kissing and suddenly she pulls away and runs – mostly to find Boomer. Good thing that I know better or I would be jealous.
Maxine laughed.
- Trust me on this, you have to talk to Allie.
- There is nothing to talk about. Last night she turned her back to me and almost crawled into the wall as she tried keeping space between us.
- Maybe she just wants to take it slowly. Probably she thinks that you need time as you never, you know with a woman. – Maxine hoped that she eased Bea´s mind without giving out too much about Allie.
- That could make sense. – Bea replied after thinking a little bit. – But I showed her few times that I´m ready. – she blushed. Thought of their last time in the equipment room came back into her mind. Her palm was itching and burning at the memory. She never thought that touching another person let alone a woman would give her this much pleasure but it did. Allie is so soft and warm. Bea never felt this kind of pull towards anyone. Nobody ever draws her in like this - physically or emotionally. She craved being close to Allie. Her body wanted to caress and touch her, she wanted to feel the softness of her skin and the sweetness of her lips. While her soul needed Allie´s smile, her laughter she needed to see happiness shining in the young woman´s eyes.
- What do you want to do with Kaz? – Maxine asked interrupting her way of thoughts. - Are you going to ask the women to leave her alone as the governor wants?
- I don't know. I don´t think that it is a good idea. The women are too pissed and stressed, if we don't let them punish her they will explode.
- Do you want to burn her hands again? Or beat her up? – Bea was silent. – Do you want to let the women decide? That could be dangerous.
- Yeah, I know. I just, - Bea shook her head angrily. – I really have no clue what to do. - Bea said not knowing what will happen next. There was no way she could have known that down the hallway a young woman is running. That she is in a hurry to find the top dog. Before Maxine could continue their dialogue and tell the redhead her opinion the door to the laundry room flew open.
- Bea! Bea! – the young brunette yelled. - Kaz is out! And she is suicidal or what! – Bea´s eyes left the brunette and landed on Allie who was standing frozen in shock.
- What are you talking about? – Maxine asked looking at the young woman with a shocked look.
- She is going to the yard!
- Fuck. – Boomer stated into the quiet room. Well, she is right. Going outside between the women is the worst thing she could do. Maxine glanced at Bea and with a nod, they both started running. Bea was running as fast as she could. They turned a corner and slowed a bit down in front of the screws but then started running again. Bea felt her heart racing but she had no clue why. She didn't know if it was the fear that Kaz Proctor would be killed or the anger that Kaz Proctor is out and she suddenly remembered how scared she was for Allie´s life. Bea Smith felt the anger and she wanted her revenge. Maybe she could take advantage of the women´s anger and get rid of Proctor once and for all.
