A/N So here is the very late finale to my tequila trilogy. As always I don't own anything related to Rookie Blue. I hope you enjoy.
Holly's pov
Taking a nap proved to be beneficial to Holly in a number of ways; first her headache was gone… like 'poof' no more percussion marching band practicing in her cranium; second she woke to feeling Gail's body pressed firmly to her own and Holly was enjoying how Gail's hands had found their ways to her breasts and backside. This was a much better way to wake up.
Holly didn't even try to stifle the moan that let her throat as Gail's fingers wandered unconsciously over her. Thankfully the noise didn't wake the blonde who continued her explorations. Holly was trying to not get too caught up in the actions of her bedmate so she attempted to strategize her next steps with Gail; she didn't want to screw this up before it had a chance to start. She could admit (at least to herself) that she was nervous about being with Gail…really being with her. Drunken make-out sessions were fun but they didn't always make for the best relationships, Holly had found that out the hard way with her first college girlfriend. She wanted things to progress naturally like their friendship had; but thinking back their friendship was always something more than just friends. This was either going to be really easy to make the shift from friends who spend most of their free time together to more than friends that frequently enjoy each other in states of undress or really difficult. Obviously Holly was hoping for the easy route.
The problem was Holly's big brain coming up with worst-case scenarios; Gail was just experimenting or would feel differently sober. Or even worse they breakup and she loses Gail altogether. That thought sends a shudder down her body.
"Hey." A low and thick with sleep voice says against her chest.
"Hey." Holly answers as she sweeps some hair from Gail's face as she tries to push her doubts and fears back.
Lifting her head and blinking a few times the blonde smiles and repeats, "Hey." Although this time it is much softer.
"You already said that." Holly teases as Gail sits up and stretches.
She yawns and nods, "It did sound familiar. Whatcha doing up? Your nerdy brain overanalyzing stuff again?" It frustrates her at times that Gail knows her as well as she does but appreciates it at the same time. Nodding as she shifts her body into a sitting position as she notices that Gail's hand is still resting on her stomach under her tee shirts make circular patterns, it is both calming and exciting at the same time. "So what are you internally arguing with yourself about?" Gail asks with a hint of nervousness in her usually strong voice.
As much as Holly wanted to change the topic she knew that she couldn't; one of the great things about her and Gail was that they could tell each other stuff and just be honest and she wasn't about to change that. "I am worried that you are going to change your mind about me…about us…and I can't lose you. It would devastate me." The last few words were barely audible but Holly knew that Gail heard them from the look on her face.
Without a word Gail relocated herself to be sitting on Holly's lap looking deep into her eyes. "I will say this as many times as I need to, as many times as you need me to…Holly I want to be with you. I know that it seems sudden and all that and for you maybe it is but I have known it for a while, I denied it for even longer. You say it would devastate you to lose me, Holly I would be obliterated if I lost you." Gail took a deep breath and continued, "I have no plans on changing my mind and let me tell you if you haven't already noticed I am a fairly stubborn woman who usually gets what she wants and I want you. I want you to be the one that teases me when I say something stupid, I want you to be the one that I surprise with takeout after a long shift, I want you to be the one that holds me during thunderstorms, I want you to be the one that I kiss goodnight, I want you to be the one that pulls me closer in the night just because you want me…"
It was all too much for Holly as she pulled Gail in for a very emotional kiss. It was part 'shut up before I end up crying uncontrollably' kiss and 'shut up before I rip all of your clothing off' kiss. Now fully sober Holly could appreciate what a good kisser Gail truly was as the blonde deepened the kiss as she leaned forward causing their bodies to slide down the headboard back to a laying position. It amazed Holly how natural it felt having Gail move atop her as her kisses moved from her lips to her jaw and down her neck. At a practically sensitive spot on her neck earned Gail a moan she smirked before Holly attacked her lips. There was no battle for dominance as they took turns exploring each other's mouths, Holly especially loved when Gail took her lower lip and lightly bit it before kissing it fully.
In the end it was Gail that pulled back, out of breath and flushed, "I don't think I have ever liked kissing someone as much as I do with you." She said honestly as she straddled Holly.
Holly could feel her face turning red at the words but didn't really care, "I feel the same."
Gail smirked, "I know I have magic lips. It is a blessing and a curse."
Rolling her eyes Holly laughed as she placed her hands on the tops of Gail's thighs, "And you call me a nerd."
Not to be out done Gail splays a hand over Holly's collarbone while bracing herself up with the other as she leans down, hovering just over Holly's face. "I will always call you a nerd because you are my nerd." She says as she places a quick kiss on Holly's forehead.
"Such the charmer."
"You love it." Gail counters as she leans down again this time kissing her lips.
"Eh." Holly said against her lips.
Gail pulled away, "Eh? I will show you eh." She said as she raised an eyebrow and proceeded to attack the sides of Holly's ribs, tickling her ruthlessly. Holly laughed and tried to roll out from under the cop but Gail was not to be moved, she held her ground as her tickling fingers slipped under the loose tee shirt and grazed the side of Holly's breast. Suddenly the giggles and laugher gave way to a charged silence. "You surrender and admit that I am charming?" Gail asked as her fingers ventured down her trembling stomach and circled her naval.
Not wanting to give in to quickly Holly answered "You have your moments." Gail rolled her eyes and pulled Holly's shirt up a little to expose her stomach, she leaned down to place light kisses just under her ribs and hummed against the taut muscle there. It was getting to be too much for Holly, her arousal level was off the charts and if Gail kept this up Holly was not going to be responsible for her actions. "Gaiiiiiil…"she stuttered as the blonde played with the hem of the shorts she wore. Gail looked up and smiled a devilish smile before her fingers curled under the elastic. This time Holly took action and grabbed the wandering hands and held them prisoner while Gail pouted.
"Why did you stop me?"
It was hard to resist a pouting Gail but Holly needed to try. "Don't you think that this is all happening a little fast? 24 hours ago I was getting ready to go on a date with a zit doctor…"
"And I was contemplating having her car towed." Gail interrupted. "What does that have to do with us?"
Holly held back a laugh but kept her serious face on, "I don't want to rush this, I know what you said earlier and last night and I know that you want to be with me and trust me I want you too but I worry that jumping from you being the best friend that I ever had to us having sex…"
"Incredible sex." Gail amended with a smirk as she shifted to sit next to Holly.
"Yes what I am sure is going to be incredible sex," Holly said teasingly, "is going to be too much. Gail, I have never had a one night stand." This statement made Gail scowl and Holly quickly added, "Not that you would be one. I only meant that when I sleep with someone it is when I am in a relationship and before you say anything; yes we are in a relationship together but it is new…so very new and I need some time to get used to you wanting to kiss me instead of me imagining it. Does that make sense?"
Gail looked thoughtful as she leaned back against the headboard. "How much time? Because I have needs woman, you can't start up something so hot and leave her hanging." She said in a mock serious tone. "No seriously how much time?"
Holly sat up as well and took Gail's hands in her own and ran her thumbs over the cop's knuckles, "Maybe after a few dates? I mean if you want to go out with me…"
Once again Holly found herself on the receiving end of Gail's lips. "Of course I want to go out with you, one you don't have a faux british accent, two after you shower off the dead person stink you smell really good and three I know that you will come up with better conversational topics."
"Okay so it is settled."
Gail shook her head, "Uh uh, you haven't asked me yet."
Holly groaned, "Gail would you like to go out with me on a date in the near future."
With a shrug and a hint of a smile, "I guess, sure."
"You are going to drive me crazy aren't you?" Holly said as she leaned her head against Gail's.
"Yep but in the best ways. You want to go get a drink to celebrate us becoming an us?" Gail asked.
"Sure as long as it isn't tequila, I think I had enough tequila to last me a long while last night."
Gail pouted, "Oh I was thinking that tequila could be our drink, you know instead of having something lame like an "our song" we could have an "our drink"."
"That is…kinda sweet. Okay one tequila but no getting me drunk and feeling me up officer."
"Aww."
"Okay you can feel me up a little. Better?"
"Much better, I suppose this means getting out of bed and putting clothes on."
Holly looked at the clock on the nightstand, it was late evening already; they had slept the day away. "Maybe we could just order in and watch Netflix instead? You know ease into being us?"
Gail reached for her phone, "Pizza or Chinese?"
"You pick, I am going to use the bathroom." Holly responded as she got off of the bed.
"Wait up." Gail said dropping her phone and grabbed her duty go-bag off of the floor. "Here, for you." She handed Holly a new toothbrush that had skull and crossbones on it. "I found this when I was getting a new one for myself and saw this and thought of you. Maybe you could keep it here…"
This time Gail found herself on the receiving end of a 'shut up' kiss. "Thank you, I love it."
Gail blushed a little and grumbled, "It's only a toothbrush."
Holly smiled and said nothing as she left the room holding her gift. Life was about to get a lot more interesting.
