"So I was wondering if I could go ice skating tonight"? Cassie asks as Holly drives her to school ..

Holly checks her mirror before turning to her niece " ice skating huh! Wow I haven't done that in years! " she smiled . "Who would you be going with"?

Cassie sunk in her chair a little as she cheeks blushed " some school friends, Jess will be there and uh.. Maybe Josh I don't know"

The corners of Holly's lips curled slightly "Josh huh"?

Cassie rolled her eyes " he's just a friend"

"Mmmm" Holly nodded this time smiling more " he seems nice"

Cassie shrugged "so can I go"?

Holly thought about it for a while, once she pulled up outside the school she turned in her seat " ok so! Why don't you text me details, how you'll get there and back?Times et cetera and I'll see"

Cassie sighed as she opens the door "fine"

"Have a good day honey".. The brunette called out as she pulled her phone from her bag ..

H- so I think Josh is Cassie's boyfriend!

Gail had been at work over four hours which meant it was lunchtime for her ., " how can you eat that crap?" She asked Chloe as the red head tucking into a chicken salad sandwich " I mean you've ruined it with all that grass in it"

Chloe laughed as she swallowed " it's only a little salad Gail, it's nice anyways!"

Gail screwed her face up "it's wet and makes the bread soggy,it has no taste to it and I hate the colour green"

Chloe shook her head in amusement " your phone beeped by the Way"

Gail took it off the dash board,tapping in her passcode..

Gail- do not let him back in the house!

Holly- ha! I can hardly ban him from coming over, and I don't know for sure if he is, but Cassie wants to go ice skating tonight and she when said he's going she blushed..

Gail- lunchbox! No good will come of this! Boys are smelly and they like boobs and the delinquent has them.. I don't trust him!

Holly- you are insane! You know that right"?

Gail - so are we going to spy!?

Holly- no she would kill me!

Gail - wait doesn't that finish late? Would that mean you have the house to yourself?

Holly- I like your thinking officer ..

"Is that Holly"? Chloe asks in a teasing tone..

"No"

"It so is" the redhead laughed "you have that sappy grin on your face"

Gail put her phone onto her vest "Chloe don't ask me personal questions.. And .. If you ever describe me as sappy again? I'll kill you"

Chloe grinned " you are so cute over her"

Placing her hand on her gun Gail gave the petite woman one of her famous death stares " do it again I dare you"?

Chloe laughed "Ok ok calm down!"

...

"So your be home by ten thirty?"

"It finishes at ten so yeah around about then " Cassie nodded as she packed her bag ..

"And jess's moms taking you and bringing you home"? Holly asked ..

"Yessss" Cassie sulked after going over it for the second time " I will text you when I get there so you know I'm safe ok"?

"Thank you honey" Holly smiled ..

"Sooooo is Gail over tonight"? Cassie teased

Holly blushed kicking herself for doing so "I don't know! Maybe!

"Mmmmmm maybe" Cassie said sarcastically with a giggle .."Ok I have to go" the teen stated hearing the beep outside .

Holly handed the girl some money " ok have fun, be good"!

"Cassie checked out the dough, she liked the fact her aunt wasn't cheap .. "Thanks and I will.. Have fun with Gail"

Holly knew the teen was teasing her "get out of here" she laughed ..

She had enough time to shower and change into something more comfortable before Gail was due to arrive .. Cooking wasn't an option so Holly heated up some left over stew she had in the refrigerator..

Gail wasn't sure what the night held but she didn't want to come unprepared .. She showered and changed at work, applying a little more make up and perfume then normal .. She wanted to look good no matter what happened ..

...

Gail gently knocked the huge black front door bouncing on her heels.. It was getting a little cold now and she kicked herself for not wearing a warmer jacket..

"Hey" Holly smiled as she opened the door ..

Gail hurried in gently taking the brunettes lips in hers "hey yourself .. I come baring gifts ..

Holly smiled looked at Gail's hands .. In the right as a beautiful bunch of flowers and in the left was what looked like a very expensive bottle of wine .

"Thank you honey, you didn't have to bring me anything" Holly swooned smelling the flowers "

"Don't get to excited nerd, the wines for me" Gail smirked as she walked past Holly into the house ..

"Wow something smells good"

"Don't get carried away" Holly laughed opening the cupboard to retrieve a vase " it's just left overs, I didn't have time to cook"

Gail had no interest in what the Doctor was saying , her attention was on the pot on the stove " that looks good "

Holly passed her a spoon " here" ..

Once Gail had tasted the Wintery dish she turned to Holly who was pouring the wine " so the delinquent went skating huh?"

Holly handed the blonde a glass with a smile "mmmmhm"

"Did you give her the talk? I mean about boys and there grubby little hands"

Holly laughed loudly " Gail I'm pretty sure at nearly sixteen Cassie knows about the birds and the bees"

Gail wasn't amused. Losing her virginity at sixteen! She knew first hand what boys of that age are interested in.. " maybe we need to have a little chat with this Josh kid then,? You know make sure he knows we're on to him"

Holly frowned placing her glass down " honey I think it's really sweet that you want to look out for her, but I don't think we need to scare the boy! I mean he already knows you're a cop! That in itself has probably scared him.. Not to mention the death stares you gave him all night!"

"Well if that isn't enough I do have a gun" Gail said seriously making Holly smile .. "Anyways" she swooned strolling over to the blonde, placing her arms around her waist

I'm not interested in the thoughts of horny teenage boys, I'm more interested in the thoughts of a certain hot blonde cop "

Gail grinned from ear to ear "well they're pretty much the same"

Holly slowly took Gail's bottom lip between hers " oh I know" she smiled kissing the cop deeply, pushing her back into the kitchen unit ..

Gail pulled Holly with her wrapping her hand around the Doctors neck, moaning into her mouth as Holly entered hers with her tongue ..

"Wow" Gail whispered pulling away slightly before leaning back in for more ..

"Let's take this to the couch" Holly smiled after a little heavy petting ..taking Gail's hand gently she pulled her towards the living area.. Wasting no time in pushing Gail to where she wanted her ..

Gail willing took a seat still holding Holly's hand ., The brunette sat on Gail lap placing her legs either side of her waist .." No more teen talk" she smiled kissing the blonde again and again ..

"Suits me" Gail replied running her hands up the brunettes back under neath her shirt .. Her skin felt like silk and warm to touch, Gail could feel the fire in her belly ignite and the more Holly kissed her, the more she wanted ..

Holly felt nervous, it had been the first time in a long time she had been in this position with someone, yes she dated and had made out with some of them, but never took it to the level where sex was pretty much inevitable..

Gail moved her hands to Holly's side.. Her finger tips stroking the side of Holly's bra clad boobs.. They were just as she imagined .. Firm and full.. She couldn't help wonder just how good Holly's boobs would look with out clothes.. The amount of cleavage the Doctor displayed daily was in Gail's eyes .. "Teasing"...And now Gail was finally going to get the answers to all her wonderings about this women's body ..

"Can I "? She asked Holding the hem of Holly's shirt ..

With a smile Holly lifted her arms so Gail could remove the garment.. And there they were.. Sat beautifully in a sexy black laced bra.. Her tanned skin made it even more sexier .. Gail couldn't help but smile.. More at the fact she now felt like a grubby hand school boy .. "Your beautiful"

Holly rolled her eyes " and your lines are outdated " she laughed as she began to unbutton Gail's top.." And wearing to many clothes"..

Gail in one quick move rolled Holly off her lap and on to her back .. Gently laying herself on to her she smirked " maybe but my games on point"!

Holly laughed " whatever, just shut up and kiss me"

Gail happily did as she was told! kissing the Doctor hard.. Using her tongue to heat up the moment.. Holly could only imagine how good Gail would feel between her legs, just as the thought entered her head, she felt Gail's thigh make contact with her burning centre.. A small gasp caught in the brunettes throat .. In that moment Holly realised just how much she had missed sex ..

Gail flicked the bottom of Holly's jeans to revel the top of her underwear .. Matching set.. She thought .. Classy..

Gail couldn't take her eyes off Holly's flat strong stomach.. Even her belly button was cute to the blonde .. "Exactly how much do you work out"? She wondered out loud noticing the outline of a six pack when Holly breathed in..

" a little" Holly smiled .."a lot"

"Well nerd! Just so you know? don't work out at all" Gail shrugged, causing Holly to frown "so you eat all that junk food and don't work out? How do you have a body like this"? She asked poking at Gail's stomach ..

"Chasing bad guys" Gail said circling Holly's belly button with her index finger ..

Holly just smiled pulling the blonde back into her, kissing her on the neck, sucking gently on her beating pulse ..

Don't even think about returning the hickey nerd" Gail warned only to be answered by a giggle and a little pinch of her skin ..

"I'm warning you Stewart"

"Ooo scared" Holly teased this time biting a little hard with her teeth..

"Holly"!

"Ok ok .. I won't,! wouldn't want you to have to explain that at work" ..

"Stop taking" Gail sighed placing her mouth over the brunettes " put your mouth to other uses" ..

As the two made out on the couch, there hands exploring each other's skin, Gail decided to be brave and ran her finger across the top of Holly's underwear .. Waiting for Holly to let her know if it was to much to fast .. When she didn't respond Gail took it as a sign to be a little more braver.. Kissing Holly a little deeper she moved her hand inside the black underwear ..

Holly gasped arching her back a little.. as Gail gently moved her fingers into the pool of wetness ... She deepened the kiss.. Her tongue working against Holly's for control..

Holly's hips moved in rhythm with Gail's fingers .. Gail was in no rush and gently toyed with Holly's clitoris, while enjoying the feel of Holly's arousal on her fingers ..

"Gail" Holly whispered as Gail kissed her way down the brunettes neck " oh god"

Gail smirked against the tanned skin " that feel good"? She asked

"Mmmm" Holly hummed .. She always liked her neck being kissed.. But Gail felt different, she felt soft and forceful at the same time.. It felt good!

In that moment Holly would have give anything for Gail to enter her.. To taste her, to take her over the edge .. As Gail began to kiss down the Pathologists body, the sound of Holly's phone disturbed her .. " you wanna get that" ?

"God no" Holly sulked "don't stop"

Gail continued only to be interrupted by the same sound again.. " someone's eager"

"It's ok! It's only Cassie" Holly said pushing herself into Gail a little to let her know what she needed ..

"Maybe you should check it then ? Gail said kissing just underneath the belly button ..

"Gail it's fine, ignore it" Holly practically begged .

Gail was about to remove Holly's jeans when the phone rang out ... "Get it!" She sulked

Holly let out an annoyed sigh dragging her phone off the table ..

"Hey!"

"Why not"?

"Ok, uh huh... Ok Honey well let me know when you leave then ok?.. Ok bye"

Throwing her phone on the floor! Holly pulled Gail back on to her " ok no more interruptions," she grinned "get back to what you were doing"!

Gail Laughed "what did she want"?

Holly kissed the cop before explaining " not much. She's just not getting a ride home from jess's Mom.. Jess went home early so they're just going to get a cab"

Gail's hand was about to return to where it was before when she stopped dead " what!.. A cab? On her own?"

Holly frowned "no! with some friends "

Gail sat up grabbing her recently removed top " no they cant get a cab, not on their own"

Holly lifted herself up on to her elbows " honey it's ok, she's old enough"

"We'll Pick her up" Gail said sounding worried " call her and tell her we're coming"

Holly was confused " you want to go out and get her .. Now? Like right this minute when we're kinda in the middle of .. You know?"

Gail by now was fully clothed picking up her boots "you can wait here if you want? I don't mind"?

"Gail! We've been wanting this for a while and now we actually have the place to ourselves you wanna pass it up"? Holly asked sounding a little annoyed ...

"We can do this another time ! Cmon lets pick the teens up"

Holly's frown was so deep it hurt her head .. Two minutes ago she had Gail's hands in her pants and now she was on her way to pick her niece and her friends up.. The drive was quiet with Gail at the wheel .. Holly felt a little rejected..

"Hol'?

"Mmmm"

"I'm sorry we didn't ... You know! I just don't like the thought of Cassie getting a cab, and I know this was meant to be our night but well.. We have plenty of time right?" Gail smiled..

"Not really Gail" Holly huffed " I mean it's not often Cassie isn't home. And as silly as it is, I can't do anything with her in the house.."

Gail pulled up outside the ice rink " I know and I really wanted to .. But!"

"So why are we sat here instead"? Holly asked not bothering to hide her disappointment ..

Gail shifted in her seat., her hand squeezing the stirring wheel " cabs aren't safe.. For kids, or anyone ..especially at night"

Before Holly had a chance to answered Cassie and her friends came into view .. " I'll sleep better knowing she's safe"

Holly watched Gail for a few seconds trying to work out what had changed in her.. Why she was so hell bent on picking the kids up ..

It baffles the brunette when it was Gail who struggled more with the no sex rule in the first place ..

"Hey! You didn't have to pick us up you know? We could got a cab" Cassie said as she buckled up in the back .,

"Well you know how your aunt worries" Gail smiled.. Holly raised her eyebrows in confusion as to how she got the blame for the "parental invasion"

Gail turned to look at the three kids in the back .. "Who are you!?she asked the dark skinned girl behind her " me? My names Kelly, I go to school with Cass"

Gail looked her over then smiled before eyeing up an uncomfortable looking Josh " Joshua?"

"Officer peck" the boy swallowed

"did you enjoy yourself"?

The boy nodded

"I hope you behave yourself"? Gail asked narrowing her eyes at him..

"Leave him alone" Holly warned softly "ignore her Josh"

"Yeah just drive please " Cassie sulked feeling embarrassed ..

The car journey was full of chat from the teens about their night .. Gail kept a watchful eye over Josh the whole time .,

"Your suppose to watch the road when you drive " Holly smiled ..

"I'm a cop nerd, I'm fully trained in how to drive and watch grubby teenage joys through my mirror "

The whole car laughed including Josh " I'm not doing anything I promise"

"Good! And keep that promise continuously Joshua because I'm about to drop you off at your house so I know where you live"

"Gail" Holly gasped "Josh she's teasing you honey, don't take her seriously"

Gail pulled up at the address Josh had gave her before hand " do take me seriously Josh " she called out as he walked up his drive .,

"Could you be anymore embarrassing" Cassie moaned throwing her hands over her face " not even my dad would do shit like that"

"Language" Holly warned before turning to Gail " your give that boy nightmares"

"Good" Gail shrugged pulling away from Josh's house ..

Once they pulled into Holly's drive, Holly noticed Gail didn't unbuckle her belt .. "Go on inside Cass" she said looking over her seat to her niece ..

"Gladly" Cassie huffed stepping out the car " oh and Gail! If I'm the laughing stock of school tomorrow it's going to be all your fault "

"You're welcome " Gail smirked as the teen slammed the door ..

"I love teasing her" Gail laughed ..

"What's going on?"Holly asked seriously causing Gail to frown ..

"Nothing! It's just pointless coming in now when I have to be up for work early "

"I dont mean you not coming in Gail" Holly sighed " I mean this.. The whole giving up our night together to pick the kids up... I mean if you didn't want to go all the way you could of just said"!

Gail sighed! She could tell Holly was mad but knew it wasn't the time to explain her reasons . "Hol! I'm a cop, I know the underlined dangers of public transport and especially for kids.. I just think it was better for us to collect them .. And as if I wouldn't want to have sex with you"!

Holly shook her head licking her bottom lip . " ok whatever"

"Hol"?

"Don't worry about it Gail, it's getting late! You should head home.. Night"

"Shit" Gail hissed hitting the stirring wheel as she watched Holly head into her house " what the fuck is wrong with you Peck"?

Gail drove off knowing she had a lot of explaining to do as well as grovelling .. Holly was mad at her or hurt even .. The more Gail thought about it the more she kicked herself ...

She was half way to heaven with Holly and passed it up because of her own insecurities.. Who does that!?

...

Gail was sat at her desk in a bad mood. Holly usually texted her in the mornings and yet today there was nothing ...

"Today sucks already" Andy sulked pulling up a chair " can you believe they've paired me with Duncan... Again?..placing her head on the table she continued " I mean didn't they learn anything from last time? The guy is a menace, he's incapable of listening or following orders, I knew I shoulda called in sick" Andy looked to her side " Gail? You listening"?

"Mmmmmm? What!? The blonde asked ..

Andy sighed "forget it, what's with you"?

Gail shrugged " the usual, you know people thinking it's ok to come to me to sulk about their day and how hard done by they are, forgetting that I really don't care" she smirked sarcastically..

"Fine" Andy snapped " thanks for being a friend Gail " she added pushing herself out the chair and leaving the blonde be..

...

"Cassie what is this?" Holly called out as she stood in the laundry room ..

"Uh dirty Washing!? Cassie answered from behind the doctor ..

"Yes.. Yes more dirty washing when I asked you yesterday if you had any? I mean you're 16 nearly! I'm sure you can work the washer for god sakes " Holly snapped

"Woah! Who pissed you off"? The teen asked

"Nobody and will you please for the hundredth time stop with the swearing "

Cassie frowned she had rarely seen her aunt in a bad mood before and she certainly hadn't ever been on the receiving end of it

"sorry! I'll do it" she offered holding her hands out for the pile of clothes she had dumped on the floor the night before ..

"No it's ok!" Holly sighed "I'm sorry honey, I didn't mean to snap at you"!

"Is it Gail?" The teen asked carefully " did something happen"?

Holly filled the washer turning it on " no .. I'm just tired and have a long day ahead of me that's all..."

Not believing a word of it but allowing the lie Cassie nodded " ok well how about I cook dinner tonight? I make a mean lasagna"

Holly smiled stroking her nieces hair " that be great... I should be home by seven"

...

"Steve"? Gail called out through the bull pen at her brother ..

"Yes sister of mine" Steve smiled ..

"I need your advice and I need you to not ask questions after.. Not one"

Steve was curious "ok?"

Gail pulled her brother to one side away from Prying eyes " ok so you're always pissing Traci off so how do you grovel? like apologise for being an idiot?"

"First! I don't always piss Traci off, and Secondly! What did you do"? The redhead smirked

"No questions I said!.. So?"

"Flowers,wine,chocolates" Steve offered..

Gail screwed he face up " done the whole flowers and wine, chocolates are out of the questions.. What's next?"

"Ok so I can't ask questions and my suggestions aren't good enough so there's only one other thing you can do!.. Just say sorry"

Gail sighed looking nervous " I can't .. I mean I can! but then i Would have to explain and I don't think I want to do that "

Steve frowned " I don't get it, I mean I can't ask questions and because I can't... I don't know how to advise you.. Are you ok? Did something happen with Holly?"

"Forget it" Gail sighed waking away leaving Steve still non the wiser as to what was up with his sister ...

"You ok"? Traci asked wrapping her arm around Steve's shoulder ..

"I am yeah" he smiled " I'm not sure Gail is though, she's being weird"

Traci laughed "more then usual"?

"Oddly yeah" Steve answered also laughing " I think she's Pissed off Holly"

"Oh god! I'll be sure to take cover today then" ..

Steve kissed his girlfriends hand " I'll talk to her later .. Lunch"?

...

Holly was in the lab alone which put her in an even worse mood.. Her mind replaying the events of the night before.. Maybe she shouldn't have questioned the cop.. Maybe they moved to fast? Maybe Gail was just being a good person looking out for the kids..

"Ugggghh" Holly sulked to herself " this sucks" ..

"If I say sorry will it make it suck less?" Came a voice from the door .. "Hi "

Holly sat up right in her chair " hi"

Gail walked over leaning on the lab table " so I'm kind of a jerk and I do shit without any real explanation, I don't always have answers for my actions and I'm sorry.. I'm sorry i messed up our night.. And I'm really .. really..really sorry I didn't get to see you naked "she grinned causing Holly to blush " I just don't like taxi's for reasons I don't really want to go into and I know that probably sucks for you .. But I can't right now.. I will tell you one day.. Just not right now.. Is that ok?"

Holly watched the blonde for a while before nodding " I'm sorry I got so shitty with you"

"You don't have to apologise "Gail said " I want you to know that It had nothing to do with what we were doing, cause I really want to do that with you " she laughed " and I know I'm gonna be kicking myself forever about it "

"I was just a little disappointed thats all,"

Gail nodded " I will make it up to you .. Over and over and over again"

"If I let you" Holly joked ..

"You will" Gail said cock sure of herself "can I get some action?" She asked pointing to her pouted lips ..

Holly leaned in stopping a whisper away from the waiting lips " no" she smirked pulling away " your not forgiven completely"

Gail moved back " well that really does suck" she said disappearing out the door returning quickly "what if I said I brought you brunch" she grinned holding up a bag..

"What's in there"? Holly asked..

"Mmmm well " Gail smiled opening the bag " what if I said bagels with a choice of goodies to go on top?.. And if your feeling in the mood to be naughty I also have bacon and other unhealthy stuff"

Holly smiled " ok your forgiven, hand it over"

"Uh every good deed deserves another lunchbox " Gail stated " I'll swap you food for a little sugar"

Holly laughed getting up off her chair to walk over to the blonde .. Taking her face in her hands the brunette gently placed a soft lingering kiss on her lips..

"That's what I'm talking about" Gail laughed handing Holly the bag before jumping up on to the table " so what would I get if I took your for dinner"?

Holly was busy spreading jam on her bagel "well my company for one.. And as nice as that would be, Im feeling guilty about the amount of time Cassie's been on her own lately"

"Not a problem" Gail shrugged " I'll book a table for three"

Holly raised her eyebrows "really?"

"She's part of the package right?"

Holly smiled with a nod.. "For the time being yeah"

Gail radio sounded out " that's my cue to leave.. I'll see you and the delinquent later" she said learning over to kiss Holly quick " I'll text you details.. Don't eat all that bacon, it's not good for you, I like my women trim " she laughed as she left .

Holly smiled to herself,when she and Gail started to get to know each other she asked around a little .. Listened out more when the blondes name was mentioned .. On paper Gail was a ice cold bitch that had the privilege of being cop royalty... A free pass to promotion .. The personality of a corpse .. The attitude of a snotty noses teenager.. Not one to be involved with or messed with..

Holly was glad she had got to know Gail before hearing all that kinda stuff, because to her none of it was true .. To her Gail was the coolest,smartest, most funny person she had ever met.. She cared! she was great with Cassie and made Holly feel like she was sixteen again..

Gail was working her way in to Holly's heart whether she was ready for it or not..
