"What"? Traci smirked ..
"Huh"?
Traci stopped what she was doing to look at her friend "well you've been looking at me for ages and it's obvious you want to say something or ask me something"
Gail opened her mouth and then closed it again ..
"Spit it out Gail"
Gail sighed heavily .. She knew Traci would coax it out of her eventually so decided just to get it off her chest .. "Ok so " she swivelled around in her chair " I kinda have this problem and I'm not sure what to do about it"
Traci frowned "oooook"
Gail looked around to make sure no one would hear her .."so Holly wanted me to ask her out"
Traci laughed clapping her hands "I knew it"
"Yeah alright alright" Gail moaned .."anyways I kinda did and we're going out Friday"
"Ok and the problem is"? Traci asked ..
"Well what do I do? I mean where do I take her"? Gail sighed " I'm not good at this, I mean when I was with Nick and Chris we kinda just hung out, they didn't make that much effort and I didn't care,.. But I like Holly, like I really like Holly and I don't want to screw it up"
Traci smiled , Gail was actually really sweet when she wanted to be and her nervous made her cute "awww Gail"
Gail pointed at her friend " no don't do that, don't be all "aww Gail" I don't like it"
Traci held her hands up " ok but I think it's cute, so why don't you just do dinner" ?
Gail shook her head " she's a healthy eating freak I wouldn't know where to take her, and I defiantly don't want to hit the Penny.. So what do we do"?
"Mmmmmm, ok so what does she like ? What kinda stuff is she into"? Traci asked
Causing Gail to screw up her face ..
"Well she like sports and running and nerdy stuff, I don't.. so again, what do I do"?
Traci drummer her fingers on the table thinking "how about a picnic"?
"Uh it's winter, it's cold" Gail sulked ..
"Trace lets go" Steve called over her shoulder "hey brat"?
"Fuck you" Gail mouthed looking back her friend ..
Traci was putting her blazer on.. " that's what blankets are for Gail" she winked ..
Gail slumped back into her chair, wondering if maybe a picnic would be ok? .. She slapping her head when she remembered that she was picking the pathologist up at seven pm so it would be dark .. "This is harder then I thought" she sulked ..
"What is",? Diaz asked from behind her ..
"Life Diaz,...life" the blonde sulked ..
"Well you know where I go when things are getting to me" the cop smiled ...
Gail jumped off her seat grabbing her fellow officer by the face.. Kissing him quickly "you Diaz are a fucking genius and don't let no one tell you different" she smiled slapping him twice around the face ..
"What did I do"? He laughed rubbing his cheek
"You don't need to know,"Gail called out "wait?" She quickly turned back "what are you doing tomorrow night"?
Chris shrugged "Penny probably"
"Good, can I use your truck"?
Chris shrugged "sure"
"Diaz if I didn't like you before? I like you now"
Chris Diaz laughed at his friends weirdness ..it made a nice change for her to be in a good mood..
...
Friday morning Holly is stood in her kitchen staring at her phone ..
"It doesn't ring because you stare are it" Cassie teased entering the kitchen .
Holly rolled her eyes placing her phone on the kitchen side .. " I haven't heard from Gail"
Cassie shrugged "didn't you say she was working the night shift"?
"Yeah" Holly nodded "but well I thought maybe I would have heard from her, we're suppose to be going out tonight and I don't know where we're going or what I'm suppose to wear"
"So text her" the teen offered ..
"Mmmm" Holly mopped "maybe I will later, you know if I don't hear from her"
Cassie shook her head "adults are weird " she laughed popping some bread into the toaster ..
Holly was in the lab when she got a call from Steve Peck about a body found in a stream down town .. Heading out she grabbed her forensic kit, laughing a little remembering Gail calling it a lunchbox .. "Rodney we have a body down town, I need you to help me out"
"No problem Doctor Stewart the intern saluted .. "Let's go ...
"So Do you know this guy"? Traci asked Steve looking over the body ..
" yeah" the red head nodded looking annoyed " he's an informant of mine, that this second one this month,.. You know the case I've Been working on? Well I think it's about to fall apart"
"You think they've found out"? Traci asks
Steve scratched his head "well it isn't a coincidence that he's dead, they had to have found out we're on to them,.. Damn it"
"This better not be a long one I have plans later and I want to clock off on time" Gail huffed as she approached the detectives ..
"Shut up Gail" Steve snapped walking away.
"What did I do"? Gail asked with a frown ..
"He's stressed, this is the second informant of his that's shown up dead this month, he thinks the gang he's been watching know they're under surveillance" Traci explained
"Ouch" Gail replied ..
"Oh look lively" Traci smiled nodded pointing behind the blonde cop..
Gail turned to see Holly exiting a blackout Suv, lunchbox in hand ..
"Did you decide where you're taking her" Traci asked ..
"Shhhhh " Gail hushed "stop taking"
"Doctor Stewart? Thanks for coming so quickly" Steve smiled leading the way towards the body "so I know the guy, he's an informant of mine, remember earlier this month the guy who was left in the dumpster? Well I think this is the same kinda killing"
Holly nodded "you think they're connected"?
"I'm betting you find the cause of death the same, I think my surveillance has been busted, Like they're watching me watch them"
Holly sympathised "so I'm guessing they found out these two had been going back and forth and eliminated the weakest links"?
"Yup" Steve sulked " how fast can you get the report back to me"?
Holly pulled on some latex gloves and knelt down by the body.. Using her torch to look into the dead mans eyes "hard to say, I mean I have to get him on the slab first.. I will say though ,he hasn't been dead long, maybe couple of hours"..
Gail watched on as Holly worked, she loved the seriousness on her face when she was engrossed in something, she really was a beautiful women .. " I'll start as soon as we get to the lab and hopefully I'll have something for you in a few hours" ..
"You ready Doc" Rodney asked..
"Yeah bag him" Holly instructed dusting off the knees of her pants ..
"Ok just call me when you have something"Steve smiled walking away ..
"Bring your lunchbox where ever you go Doc"? Gail teased with a smile ..
Holly laughed " well you never know when hunger strikes..
Gail raised her eyebrows looking around .. "You gonna be done with this before you're shift ends"?
Holly shrugged "I hope so.. Are we still going out tonight"?
Gail slapped her forehead "aaah man I knew I had something on later" she joked causing Holly to shove her gently "not funny Officer "
"Oh It is" Gail teased.. "But yes we are, and I'm still picking you up at seven.. shape so be ready" she added walking backwards towards her squad car ..
"Wait?" Holly called out " you didn't tell me where we're going? What do I wear"?
Gail still waking backwards smiled " something warm and comfortable"
"Warm? Holly frowned "what kinda comfortable"?
Shrugging Gail laughed " I don't know whatever nerds wear when they're relaxing?.. You're doctor, you'll figure it out" the blonde winked getting to her squad car ..
"Warm and relaxing" Holly repeated "ok that does not help"
"We're ready Doctor Stewart" Rodney said bringing Holly out of her thoughts ...
"Uh yeah.. Sure lets go" Holly smiled following her intern ...
...
Holly arrived home a little later then she had planned due to Steve Peck constantly calling her in Regards to the body found earlier that day ..
"Thought you was gonna be home ages ago"? Cassie asked when the Doctor entered the house ..
"Me too honey but Gail's brother is relentless" Holly sulked pulling a bottle of water from the fridge ..
"Well you have like an hour to get ready! Cmon you don't want to be late" Cassie urged
"Honey I'm sure Gail won't mind if I'm running behind, it's not like we are going to dinner or anything"
"Still" the teen sighed "come on you haven't even picked out an outfit, and you need to shower"
"Hey are you saying I smell"? Holly laughed
"Well you've been working on the dead all day so ... Yeah"
Holly rolled her eyes at her niece " ok I'm going"
Once Holly was out of the shower she and Cassie rummaged through her closet ..
"Aunt Hol you have so many clothes in here with the tags still on" Cassie mentioned as she pulled another shirt off its hanger .
"Yeah I'm kinda buy on impulse" Holly groaned " I need to have a clear out at some point"
"You should" the teen agreed " ok so how about this shirt"
Cassie held up a cream coloured shirt with black collar and cuffs..
"Mmmm" Holly moaned screwing her face up " it's not very warm, and Gail said wrap up"
Cassie placed the shirt back and sat on her Aunts bed " ok so we're talking sweater and jeans maybe"?
"I guess" Holly nodded "
"Ok well you do hair and makeup and I'll find you something to wear" the teen grinned heading back into the closet ..
6.45pm and Holly is just about ready with the help from Cassie hurrying her up ..
"You look great" the teen grinned ..
"Hardly Honey" Holly frowned looking down at her clothes .. She was dressed in tight skinny blue jeans a figure hugging vest top and a loosely hanging sweater " I look like I'm relaxing at home"
"Well .. That is what Gail said so.. Don't worry about it" Cassie shrugged "so where do you think you guys are going to go"?
"I have no idea" Holly sighed " she's not said anything other then dress warm so I gather it's outside"
Cassie thought about it for a moment " well Gail's pretty awesome so I'm guess it's going to be fun"
Holly smiled, she was glad her niece had taken to the cop, if they were to move past tonight then Gail could be around a little more so it made her happy knowing it wouldn't be awkward..
"Are you nervous"?
Holly nodded " a little I mean it's been a long time since I ... "Clearing her throat she continued " well since I've dated, and Gail's great so yes I'm nervous"
Cassie nodded "well don't be, I know tonight's going to be fine .. And Gail isn't the only one who's great you know, you are too.. And I bet Gail is just as nervous as you are? I mean she is the only planning the date and if it's shitty, it's on her " the teen laugh as did Holly..
"Honey please stop using those kinda words"
"Sorry" Cassie cringed
"It's ok" Holly winked "and thank you"
The door bell chimes through the house causing Cassie to jump off yet aunts bed " I'll get it" she calls out as she runs out the room ..
Holly took a deep breath checking herself in the mirror once more ..
...
"Officer" the teen smiled as she opened the door ..
"Delinquent " was Gail's reply as she headed inside ..
"Your Aunt ready"?
"She is" Holly answered from the bottom of the stairs checking her watch .. It was 7.12pm
"And your late" she smiled
Gail smiled back with a shrug "I said seven-ish .. This is seven-ish "
Cassie laughed "so where are you going"?
"Out" Gail answered not taking her eyes off the Doctor "you look nice"
Holly laughed a little" really"?
"Mm hmmm" Gail hummed "and don't worry about this one" she pointed over her shoulder at the still grinning teen " I have a squad driving by every hour to check she isn't having a house party"
Cassie rolled her eyes "yeah cause I'm really going to do that"
Gail turned " your a teenager, it's what you do and I'm not joking about the drive by's, McNally and price are on shift and said they will watch out for you"
"You're lying" Cassie laughed stopping when she saw the seriousness on the blonde's face .. "You're serious"?
"As a heart attack kid" Gail laughed turning back to Holly "ready"?
Holly looked down at herself once more " I guess"
"Mmmm do you have like a scarf and some gloves? It's kinda cold"
Holly's jaw dropped a little " gloves and scarf"?
"Yeah"
Cassie ran over to the laundry room returning with Holly's winter garments "here"
Holly took them with a smile still confused "Gail where are we going"?
"Gees why are women so impatient? Let's go and you'll see "
Holly gave her niece a kiss on the head as she left " be good and call if you need anything"
"Why would I when the cops are watching Me" she said sarcastically ..
"Layers delinquent" Gail waved "don't wait up" ..
... Once in side the car Gail checked her sat nav " any music requests"?
Holly shook her head " I'm easy"
"Well we've established that's not true" Gail teased causing Holly to gentle shove her "just drive Peck" ..
The car journey was comfortably silent with the radio on . Gail drove twenty minutes out when Holly noticed the city lights begin to fade "uh Gail where are we going"?
Gail laughed " this is where I take you to the middle of the woods and you ever return" she teased..
"Very funny" Holly sighed rolling her eyes" cmon tell me"
Gail checked her sat nav " hold out for ten minutes and you'll see "
Holly say back in her chair gazing out of the window " ok but if this car hasn't stopped in ten I wanna know where we're going"
...
Exactly ten minutes later Gail stops the car pulling it into reverse .. "We're here"
Holly looked around at her surroundings "uh Gail where are we? It's pitch black outside"
Gail jumped out of the truck " gimme a minute"
And with that Holly was alone in the front seat wondering what the hell Gail was up too.. So you're really going to kill me"? She called out making Gail laugh .. "Boo" she laughed at Holly's window making her jump ..
"Take wasn't funny" Holly sulked holding her chest ..
"Calm down Doc I'll protect you, cmon"?
Holly stepped out of the truck feeling nervous and if she was Honest, a little scared. Gail took her hand pulling her towards the back of the truck "jump up"?
"Jump up"? Holly frowned
"Yes.. Jump.. Up!" Gail repeated this time a little slower .. Holly stood looking at her date very confused, which again made Gail laugh " cmon" she urged climbing on to the back of the truck , holding her hand out to offer Holly help "you coming aboard"?
Holly exhaled heavily taking Gail's hand, she guessed she had to trust Gail who seemed to know what she was doing ..
"Ok so this is why I said you need to wrap up" the blonde laughed "come scoot over here" she said patting the space next to her, as Holly did as she was asked Gail threw a blanket over the pair of them " ok you ready"?
Holly shook her head " for what"?
"Tut .. For our date"? Gail sighed " where is your sense of adventure nerd"?
Holly laughed " well. I don't usually go on dates in the middle of no where in the dark of night so ..."
"Dark of night"? Gail frowned " well in that case .. Let their be light" she laughed leaning over the truck , instantly a glow shone out among Holly gasp .. In front of her was the most beautiful view she had ever seen .. A lake and a boat house lit up from the lamps Gail had switched on at the side of the truck ..
"I'm not really going to kill you nerd so you can relax " Gail jokes pulling a cooler box from one side of the truck ..
"Gail this is beautiful"
Gail nodded" yup, I'm not big on dates if I'm honest" she explained " I mean I don't usually plan then, it's either the a penny or dinner somewhere and " she stopped to pour Holly a glass of wine " I don't really know what kinda food you're in to or what kinda movies you like, besides restaurants are always busy and I'm not a fan of a lot of people, and they listen to your conversations, " the blonde rambled "so I figured I would learn that kinda stuff about you tonight hopefully, I do how ever know you life expensive wine so here " she smiled handing Holly the plastic wine glass ...
Holly smiled as has took the glass sipping its contents "wow that's good.. And so is this, I mean I would have never thought you would come up with something like this"
"Thanks" Gail sulked
No no .. I didn't mean that in a bad way I just, well I don't know I just wouldn't think you would like something so peaceful, you seem like your always going a hundred miles an hour" Holly explained hoping she didn't offend the Officer ..
Gail leaned back on to some pillows she had brought " relax nerd I get it, and you're right I usually am , but sometimes everybody needs some peace"
Holly nodded clinging her glass with Gail's beet bottle ..
The two women sit closely together sharing a blanket watching over the moonlite lake .. The boathouses lights had come on now so the lake was really lite up, Gail placed her iPod on the floor next to her " you like jazz music"? She asked
Holly just raised her eyebrows at the blonde ., this women constantly surprised her .. "What you got?
With a smile Gail flicked through and the sweet sound of Billie Holiday rang out ..
Holly closed her eyes taking in the sound of the music " my dad loves her" she smiled ..
"Mine too " Gail nodded " it's not really my thing but sometimes it's nice to have change right "?
"Hell yes" Holly agreed " so Miss Peck tell me something? The brunette paused sipping her wine " how many other girls have you brought here"?
Gail laughed shaking her head " how many do you think"?
Holly shrugged trying not laugh " I don't know? I mean your a good looking women, I'm sure you get plenty of attention"
Gail licked her bottom lip shaking head with a smile " Holly? Do you really think I would have to use a sat nav if I come here regularly"?
Holly blushed " oh"
"Yeah " Gail smiled " I just wanted to do something different, everybody goes to Dinner or a bar, you can't really talk to much and .. Weirdly i actually do want to talk, which is new for me,!"
Holly placed her hand on Gail's shoulder " well I'm glad we came here, the view is amazing and the lake isn't to bad with "
Gail blushed with a giggle" that's cheesy"
Holly smiled "made you laugh though,anyways what else do you have in that box" ?
"Well " Gail said leaning forward bringing the cooled onto her Lap .. "I thought I had to feed you even if it was just snacks, so we have, crackers, cheese,grapes, strawberry, cheese puffs and those cardboard chips you like"
Holly watched as Gail pulled the items out of the box, this women was so different to anyone she had met before, she could make her smile doing the smallest of things, it was a bonus is was breathtakingly beautiful the brunette thought .. " Holly"?
"Mmmm" Holly jumped from her thoughts
"Where did you go"?
Holly shook her head " no where I was just " she shook her head " I just can't believe you've gone to so much effort"
Gail blushed but shrugged it off " it's snacks, not a three coarse meal"
Holly took the blondes hand stroking the top with her thumb " will you just take the compliment"?
Gail narrowed her eyes and smiled pushing a grape into Holly's mouth " sure"
The two eat as Holly educated Gail on different types of cheeses and their origins which Gail weirdly found interesting, their conversation seemed to flow effortless, which again was a first for Gail, this women was doing things to the blonde she wasn't use to and it didn't scare her,. Holly never seemed to push her to open up it just seem to happen effortlessly ..
As the food was packed away Gail found Hilly had moved closer, the blanket wrapped tightly around them both as she sit watching the lake ..
" Holly?"
"Mmmm" Holly hummed
"Why are you single"? Gail asked, it was something she had tried to get her head around from them moment they met, here was this overly beautiful women,who was warm, kind and caring, liked by everyone she met, she had a great job and earned wads of cash, so as Elaine Peck would say, she was a catch. So why hasn't anyone snapped her up?.. Not that Gail was complaining, she was happy to have met Holly and had the chance to take her out ..
Holly seemed to have moved away from the blonde a little , Gail could tell she hit a nerve .. " I mean you don't have to tell me,"
Holly cleared her throat taking a sip of her wine "it's not that Gail, it's just that I uh.. "
"You know what? Forget I asked" Gail insisted not wanting Holly to be uncomfortable .
No no it's fine " Holly smiled " it's just I went though a really painful break up and it's not something I like to talk about"
"Then don't" Gail said moving around a little to face her date " So Cassie huh"?
Holly appreciated the change in subject "what's about her",
Gail sipped her beer "well she seems like a pretty cool kid,she's got that snarky attitude which I like"
Holly nodded licking her lips " remind you of someone"? She mocked
Gail frowned " I do not have that much attitude" she laughed ..
"She's had it tough but she seems to be coming though it" Holly began to explain " I think once her dad and brother get her she can settle properly you know"?
"When are they coming"? Gail asked
Holly leans back a little with a sigh " I don't know , I mean one minute the house is sold, the next it's not, then it's a work thing and lately I've been calling and leaving messages and I'll get a text in reply, it's like he's dumped her on me"
"That sucks"
"I mean I don't mind, I love having her with me it's just .. I don't know it's a lot of responsibility, especially when she goes out and gets arrested"
Gail laughs a little " I think that was a one off Holly. I don't think you're gonna become a regular down at the station... I think you're doing a great job with her, and she is a good kid and yes ok she reminds me of me when I was younger"
Holly laughed nudging the blonde gently " well your both pretty awesome"
Gail blushed thanking the gods that it was dark enough for Holly not to notice .. " so are you.. For a nerd that it "
The two looked up at the stars, taking in the breath taking views, even Gail was impressed with herself . Yes it was winter but the night had a warmth to it, she wasn't sure if it was having Holly so close or the actually climate has changed ..
"So why are you single"? Holly asked scooting down a little so she was led on her side facing the blonde, who lay still on her back looking at the stars still ..."how come you don't have to answer but I do"? She asks
"You don't have to" Holly smiles ..
" my last relationship was Nick Collins , we have a lot of history and when he rocked up on his motorbike one morning it was inevitable we would pick up where we left off, which was stupid considering the idiot left me alone in Vegas the day we were meant to get married"
"Married"? Holly gasped
Gail laughed biting her bottom lip " yeah crazy huh? I mean It would have been annulled as soon as my mom got wind of it, but I don't know , it was a very stupid stupid thing"
"So he what ? Got cold feet"? Holly asked
"Cold feet? Is an understatement "Gail laughed " he ran off and joined the army, he was deployed to Afghanistan and came back the war hero.. And then go make matters worse I .. Like a fool fell for him again and went full circle, but this time he went uncover with McNally and fell for her"
"Wow"
"Yup " Gail signed " we broke up because I cheated on him physically, i chested on him because mentally he did it to me.. And it hurt and it sucked and he's a loser so "
Holly laughed "you certainly don't do things by halves Officer,"
Gail turned to face the brunette who was smiling at her " Holly I'm like a cat, I'm very good at climbing trees, but then the minute I get up there I wanna get back down but I don't know how to do that, so I create an emergency situation to get out of it"
Holly frowned having no idea what the blonde was going with this analogy.." Of the tree"?
Gail sighed heavily " of relationships "
"Ah" Holly nodded in agreement, I use to be like that, until I realised I didn't like men"
Gail huffed "well turns out I don't like men either"
holly giggled under her breath "so what about women? Have you dated many women"?
"Nope" was Gail's reply popping the P.. I was a late bloomer you could say, I knew I liked women and wanted to explore that, but dating them wasn't what I set out for, I've only ever had flings or one night stands .. The Anderson thing being one of them" the blonde cringed ..
Holly felt a knot in her stomach at Gail's revelation, was she looking to get laid or just have a fling with the Doctor?
Gail noticed Holly's silence and quickly ran through what she has said in her mind...
"Oh no I mean up until now" she added " I mean I've never met anyone I've wanted to date or spend this kinda time with ... "
"Gail you don't have to explain..,I.. "
"No!" Gail interrupted " you don't get it.. Holly I really like you. I mean like butterflies in my tummy like you".. Gail took Holly's chin in between her fingers pulling her face so they were looking at each other " And if you want to I'd like to do this all over again real soon"
Holly's breathed hitched, Gail was so close use could smell her perfume, her eyes were fixated on the blinded lips,before she had a chances to assess the situation she felt soft, glossy lips on hers , Gail had leaned in and gently kissed the brunette..
Holly felt like fireworks were going off inside her, Gail felt amazing, her cherry lip gloss helped their lips glide across each other's and before Holly knew it they were gone.. Her eyes still closed and her lips still tingling
So what do you say"? Gail whispered
Holly opened her eyes running her tongue across her bottom lip to savour the taste that was Gail " I'd like that" she answered barely audible ..
Gail leaned in again pressing her lips onto Holly's once more before sitting up " more wine"?
Holly held her glass out for the blonde to take.. If this date was anything to go by she was excited for the next ...
Gail led back down flicking the music to a more softer sound .. Romantic if you like ..
"Who did you find this place", Holly asked
Gail took a moment before she answered "this is chris' place, he use to come here with his grandfather as a kid, the would fish for hours on that lake, and when she grandma died,his grandfather and he would sit up here for hours and hours just Silently taking in its surroundings"
"Awww" Holly sympathised "and he shared it with you? That's sweet"
Gail got up and jumped off the truck "cmon"?
Holly didn't argue or protest she just took Gail's hand and let her lead her way .. Lamp in hand Gail ushered Holly down to the jetty.. Pulling off her shoes and socks she dipped her feet into the Icey water "oh not" she gasped at the sensation that shot through her body " my god that's freezing"
Holly laughed removing her footwear "don't be a baby" she teased sliding her feet into the lake .. "It's refreshing"
Gail groaned something under her breath and placed her feet in next to Holly ..
"Holly a while back I uh.. I went thought something " the blonde stopped wondering if she should finish what she started and open up to this women or not .. " I uh.. So I uh.. Yeah I went though something and everybody was trying to be there and support me but I just wanted them and everything else to go away, I felt like I was drowning"
Holly sensed sadness and worry in Gail's voice,so took her by the hand placing them in her lap ..Gail smiled and continued .. " I stopped sleeping and eating, drinking heavily to forget, I wouldn't listen to anyone,pushed everyone but Traci away and one day, "Gail stops again to remember the moment she's about to share and smiles.
"One day Chris came home for work, he picked me up and dragged me to the truck, I was kicking and screaming" she laughed " he drove me here and told me "this is where you come to be alone, this is where you come before you drowned, this is where you feel free and find yourself and this is where you come to stop pushing the people who love you away .. and I have ever since"
Holly was intrigued to ask what had happened to Gail, but held back thinking if she wanted to divulge she would have ..
Stroking the side of Gail's face the doctor smiled "thank you"
"For" Gail asked
"For sharing such a precious place with me"
Gail shrugged "my feet are cold "
Holly laughed standing up pulling Gail with her " cmon lets go get in the blanket "
It was only 10.20pm the night was still young none of them wanted to leave but it was getting colder... Are you cold! Why we can get in the cab? I'll turn the truck around"?
Holly shook her head pulling the blanket higher over her shoulders and cuddled into Gail's side " I'm happy here if you are"?
Gail lifted her arm wrapping her around Holly's shoulder so she could practically lie in her arms .. " I could live here"
"Mmmm" Holly nodded " her arm finding Gail's waist and her fingers teasing the hem of her sweater.. " you know this is by far the best date I've ever been on "
Gail chuckled " oh really? Sat in the back of a clapped out truck, listening to me beat on about my issues "
Holly leant up a little " no that's not how I see it,"
Gail looked the the brunette with a smirk " ok lunchbox tell me how you see it"?
Holly smiled licking her bottom lip sucking it in before she's spoke " to me? you took me to this amazing Beauty spot where we .. Or I should I say." She laughed" Drank amazing wine, with an amazing women, who went out of her way to do something different and unique .. It was Romantic and Fun and we got to talk and get to know each other," that to me is a perfect first date "
Gail replied by pulling Holly into her kissing her hard on the mouth .. Her hands gripping the side of her face, Holly shifted to a more comfortable spot which happened to be led slightly on top of Gail .. The cop embraced the moved my moving under her a little more .. Holly's hands found Gail's waist as their kiss intensified.. Gail gained access into the Doctors mouth. Her tongue lightly brushing against her lips, Holly gently moved hers in time with the blonde .. A moan fell from the pathologists mouth which made Gail smile.. ..
Holly's hand ran up the side of Gail's body. Stopped just underneath her bra.. Her skin felt amazing, her toned muscles flexed under Holly's touch .. The air became hot and both women struggled to breath neither one wanting to stop what was happening .. Gail's skin felt like fire .. The women on top of her sent her into a frenzy of excitement and desire and she could easily have taken her there and then... "We should stop" she gasped taking in a lungful of air..
Holly didn't move she herself was recovering from the lack of oxygen ..
"We should defiantly stop" Gail repeated..
"Is that what you want"? Holly asked softly as she sucked on Gail's neck ..
"No" Gail sulked running her fingers through dark brown locks " but we should because of you keep doing that I'm not going to be able responsible for my actions"
Holly laughed kissing the blonde's neck once more before rolling on to her back "spoil sport" she teased
"Says you miss I don't put out in the first date " Gail snapped back playfully..
Holly laughed slapping Gail's thigh playfully "shut up "
Gail turned to face the pathologist " I respect that though, and as much as I would really like to continue where we left off, I don't want to spoil this .. Your worth the wait"
Holly blushed hiding her face in the crook of Gail's neck ..
"Have you gone shy on me"? Gail giggled tickling the brunettes side causing her to laugh ..
"No it's just really sweet" Holly answered "and I to really wish we could continue "
"Well tough Nerd you have to wait for all this goodness" the cop joked moving her hand up and down her body .. " you might not be worthy "
"Oh really!?" Holly smirked climbing on top the the sarcastic blonde .. Her legs either side of her waist .. " Gail we both know that if I wanted you right here and now you wouldn't resist "
Gail shook her head " well it's a good job I have will power then isn't it"? She teased pushing the doctor on to her back, climbing on her " your just lucky I really like you" she smiled kissing Holly softly on her lips "
"Well I feel very honoured Officer" Holly smiled . Gail melted, this women really was beautiful and Gail felt lucky to even know her let alone with straddling her and having the permission to kiss her freely .. " are you cold"? The blonde asked feeling Holly's hands were like ice.. " a little"
"We can head back if you want?
Holly shook her head " no I'm not ready yet, can we just lay here under the blankets for a while"?
Gail gently moved herself off the pathologists lap back to her spot. Fixing the blanket so she and her companion could wrap up inside if .. "Scoot over", she orders holding her arm out so Holly could curl into her.. No words were spoke from then on.. Just the sound of the lake and the noise of owls in the distance .. Their night was truly one to remember and Gail led wondering how she would ever top that night ..
...
Holly's eyes opened instantly closing again as the sun blinded her .. It took a moment for her to realise where she was .. Lifting herself up she looks to her left to find a sleeping Gail .. She looked much softer in her sleep then she did when she was awake. Her pony tail hung loosing at the bottom of her neck where Holly noticed a slight discoloured mark .. Oops she taught and reminded herself to apologise later ..
She took in the morning air before looking at her watch " shit Gail " she gasped giving her sleeping buddy a shake . "Gail wake up its five am..
Gail groaned rolling onto her side .." Gail, Gail cmon"
Gail rolled back over protecting herself from the sun " what is it"?
"We fell a sleep. It's morning which means Cassie's been home alone all night"
"Shit" Gail gasped sitting up "we need to go"
"Yeah " Holly agreed jumping off the back of the truck getting into the cab " you think I should call her",
Gail laughed as she started the truck " and explain where you've been alright ?"
Holly shook her head checking her phone " you're a bad Influence on me Peck "
"Yeah so what" Gail laughed .
...
It took twenty five minutes to arrive back at Holly's, the house was how she left it and Gail had received a text at some point from Andy to say that everything seemed ok with Cassie and they last checked at midnight ..
"You better sneak in quietly" Gail teased causing Holly to roll her eyes " I can't believe we feel asleep "
Gail yawn not bothering to cover her mouth " well weirdly I had the best sleep in like forever "
Holly smiled "me too, I better get inside"
"Ok" Gail nodded " thanks for last night"
"No thank you, it was awesome" Holly replied " can I see you again?"
" of coarse " Gail frowned leaning over the passenger seat Holly had just exited .."lay one on me"? She joked pouting her lips..
Holly blushed leaning into the car brushing the cocky cops lips before kissing them gently " I really did have a great night "
"Me too, I'll call you later"?
Holly nodded with a wave before heading inside ..
The night really was a memorable one, one she would never forget nor want to, she wasn't sure yet just where the relationship was heading but she knew she wanted to find out .. That cop really was something special ...
