02) Rescuing Erin...
- Holzmann, I ... - Erin sounded very nervous - You see, I need you to come to my apartment as fast as you can. It's just ...
- My sweet Erin, are you okay? - Holtzmann asked worried, but before answering, Erin had gotten off the phone. Erin's call in the middle of the night had surprised her. Why would Erin wish to see her at those hours? She looked at the clock and discovered that it was almost two a.m..
The engineer wasn't sleeping, she was actually working on new weapons in their new location, with the help of her mentor, Dr. Rebecca Gorin. But if Erin called her, she was able to leave everything to go get her, no questions needed. Her heart belonged to Erin Gilbert, but they hadn't yet discussed that issue seriously.
Although since the great ghostly-apocalyptic battle in New York had happened, Erin had been more receptive to the Holtzmann's flirtations and she had even dared to flirtatious back even if they were only joking.
When Holzmann arrived to the apartment she knocked on the door and shortly after Erin opened, at first she only left space for Holzmann saw her face.
- Goodnight Gilbert, what's going on? -She asked scratching her own hair, thinking about the strange behavior of her friend.
- Now they are good nights Holtzy - she said with a wink, which began to seem too weird. But the biggest surprise was when Erin opened the door and Holzmann could see her friend in a semi-transparent black nightgown. Holtzman was shocked for a moment, as if everything was in slow motion. There she was in front of Erin's sculptural body and so impressed that she couldn't close her mouth.
-But what-ho...! - She exclaimed completely blushes and with her body temperature starting to turn up dangerously. Then, she stared at the ceiling, as if there's something really interesting. Holtzmann had to remove the image of Erin wearing that clothes opening the door for her and winking her an eye, or her poor heart of engineer was going to explode.
- Do you desire me Jillian? - certainly, she had not imagined that one not in a million years and less when Erin took her holding her T-shirt strongly and made her enter the flat. They were standing only few millimeters of separation and they were looking at each other. Holtzmann was feeling defenseless, that was not anything that Doctor Erin Gilbert had done, or at least she thought that. Although certainly, Holtzmann also had been surprised that Erin has that kind of piece in her wardrobe.
It had nothing to do with her demure clothes to which she was accustomed. Erin was irresistible, the situation was rare, weird to the level of Abby possessed by the ghost of Rowan, but this exceeded even that.
- Oh and thousand times oh! -the enginner exclaimed, realizing what was happening - You don't... This can't be happening.
-Do you desire this body, Holtzy? - she asked again with a strange voice, looking up and down her body, and confirming all the suspicions in Holzmann's mind - I can understand you.
Was it was physically possible that two bodies could be so close? Holtzmann perfectly knew the answer to her own questions. She desired and loved Erin. And with that clothes, Erin couldn't be more sexy. Holzmann liked playing with fire, but Erin's body was too much fire even for her. If it had been a normal situation, she had surrender to Erin's will. It could be said that the situation in itself was a Holtzmann's fantasy turned reality. But that was not her Erin and she wasn't going to allow that a ghost should possessed the body of her ... friend? partner? mate? lover? everything?.
- I have to invite you kindly to move out Erin's body - she told bravely to the ghost, while she leaned on the back of the sofa.
- Why? - the ghost asked trying to get closer, but Holtz moved away from her and she went to frontside of the sofa. She wasn't sure how much she was going to kept the situation without fighting - You and I could have so much fun! - the ghost exclaimed and it throw Holtzmann hard against the couch and stand above her.
Holtzmann deep breath, her heart was racing. Why couldn't this be happening with the real Erin? or ,,, why it couldn't be one of her fantasies and wake up and laugh at what she dreamed? No, it had to be a ghost possessing the infinitely sexy body of Erin Gilbert and tempting her that way. The touch of her skin was so soft that Holzmann melted at times, but she needed to keep being strong, she needed to protect the real Erin.
- Because I will not take advantage of this lady - she pointed her, trying to escape from under Erin - So you'll have to get out of there - she looked into her eyes.
- She 's also crazy about you, did you know that? - Those words caused a moment of shock and doubt in Holtzmann, which was clearly reflected in his eyes - You're so pathetic! - the ghost laughted- So long waiting so she could took the first step, when you only needed to kiss her. Her heart was already melt by you.
-Very well, matchmaker, thanks for the info and now, go away! - Was it true what that ghost had said? Was Erin correspond her feelings? Well, it didn't matter, the important thing at that moment was that the ghost went out Erin's body and vanished for good. At least, Holtzmann managed to escape from under Erin's body and she was in the middle of the living room.
- No, if you don't want to play, I'll have to kill you - the non-Erin said rising from the sofa, crossing her arms with a evil look.
- Girl, what drastic! - Holtzmann exclaimed, but soon she received the first charge, since the non-Erin hit her with her arms.
- I'm going to win this - the ghost laughted - You're too afraid to hurt the owner of this body - and the ghost was not mistaken, Holzmann didn't want to hurt Erin, but if it was all she could do to save her, then she had no choice.
The non-Erin and Holtzmann fought and destroyed the dining room, but finally, the engineer knocked Erin unconscious and tie her to a chair with her belt. She never had fight like that, Holzmann had been dropped a thousand times from one side to another, but now she had won and the ghost had escaped. She knew that as a Ghostbusters she should go behind it. But she couldn't leave Erin alone after all, so she warned Patty, Abby and Dr. Gorin. After just half hour, Abby had sent her a message to confirm her that everything was under control.
Since the ghost had left Erin's body and this remained unconscious, Holtzmann decided that Erin didn't need to keep tied to that chair, so she began to release her to take her to the couch. But just when Holzmann was trying to untie the belt, Erin began to wake up.
-Oh my gosh! -she exclaimed opening slowly her eyes still confussed - What has happened? - she asked looking at her tiny, nearly transparent nightgown and getting red of embarrassment when she discovered that indeed, she wasn't alone, Holtzmann was there. Holtzmann looked at her with a smile, relieved and unleashed the belt.
- Are you okay?
- Why am I wearing this? Why am I tied to a chair? Why are you in my apartment with a broken shirt? - Holtzmann looked down at her own clothes, and she realized that indeed her shirt was broken and revealing more than she expected - Holtzmann, why is my livingroom a completely mess? Why my whole body hurts me? - she asked with eyes wide open due to shock and going almost in a state of hysteria.
- Who was going to say you were so freaking wild? - She asked with a wink and a laugh.
- So, you and I, we had ...? - Erin asked without looking at her due to the bad time she was going on.
- Honey, you would remember if something like that had happened between us - she began to flirt - Believe me, we're not into 50 Shades of Holtzmann, unless you wish it... or 50 Shades of Gilbert - she winked again and handed her a blanket that was on the couch so Erin could cover herself a little. She really wanted to keep seeing Erin with that nightgown, but she wasn't going to take advantage over the situation.
- Can you be serious for once Holtzmann? - she asked serious - What happened?
- Okay, okay - she could hardly hold back the laughter now that she knew that everything was under control - I was working with Gorin and then you called me. You urgently needed my help - she explained - I came as fast as I could and when I arrived, you were waiting, dressed only in that - she said indicating the nightgown.
-Unfortunately it was because a ghost had taken over your body, so I had to face him and now Abby just wrote to tell me that they have it under control.
- ... unfortunately? - she asked trying to assimilate all that had happened.
- Yes, I mean, have you ever seen you in the mirror? Any sensible person would have gone crazy having a woman as you, waiting dressed in that clothes... and I'm already crazy, so... - she winked her eye and smile wide - You're so damn smokin' hot, Dr. Gilbert!
-Holtzmann! -Erin exclaimed covering herself more with blanket - That's not true, stop joking!
-You know that I love to joke, but Erin... you're a spectacular woman. I'm not kidding, it is completely true - Holzmann said seriously, it wasn't for her nightgown, Erin was always so beautiful. Why din't Erin realized how much she worth? Apart from being bright, smart, interesting and good-hearted (and millions of other things) she was so beautiful and sexy. Finally, Holzmann changed the object of the conversation - Do you remember something now?
- Yes, I begin to remember - she looked down - I saw it, I saw the ghost, and I phoned you, for you to come to help me. But I think it's when it possessed me - she kept looking the floor - And it chose these clothes for waiting you... - she wonder confused. Erin covered her face with her hands, in shame.
- Why didn't you call Abby? She lives a block from here... - she asked her - She'd arrive earlier than me
- I don't know - she wasn't able to look at her - You're the first person who came to my mind, sorry...
- Erin, you haven't to be sorry for anything - Holzmann put herself of knees so that the look of the scientist had no way out. At the end, Erin stared in Holzmann's eyes, the engineer holded her hands, trying to calm her - Is there anything that you want to say to me? - Holtzmann couldn't avoid to caress Erin's face for a moment - Please, I have demonstrated you that you can trust me.
- I know. I trust you more than anyone. It's really that ... it's difficult ... I never...
There was a deafening silence, both were looking each other and they knew that a turned point has arrived in their relation.
- I think you're right, we need to talk - Erin confessed - But first let me put some clothes on, please - she asked standing up.
- Okay - she nodded - I'll wait here sitting - she smiled pointing to the sofa - Erin - she said holding delicately her arm - Take all the time you need, I'll always be waiting for you. Don't be rush... - Erin's look was full of love after those words, but she didn't want that anything got wrong between them.
Both definitely smiled partly thanks to that stupid ghost, everything would change from that night between them.
