Dear Sunglasses,
Do you know why it took me this long to write this? BecauseI'm a lazy jerk like that.
Oh Mountain Sound! Love this song.
Set in 4X13. Is this written? It probably is. Forgive me if so.
That was stupid. Sostupid. You stamp back to the lab, pull your glasses of your face and fall into your chair. What were you thinking - turning up the precinct again - after barely sneaking off from the interrogation room. This was going to be an extremely lengthy reasoning session with yourself.
You had wanted to check up on her. Of course you did - you were worried. Now, why were you of all people worried? Sure, she kissed you - which led to one of the steamiest make-out sessions ever - but that was no excuse. Maybe that was Gail being all rattled up after seeing Chloe shot like a dog - and in some new found fervor had kissed you. That couldn't mean anything.
Besides - you were the unreasonable one here - turning up to the Penny with women plain in sight and then expecting the blue-eyed blonde you've been crushing on to jump start a relationship with you right after a little kiss.
Okay - that could not be called a little kiss - that was one of the hottest, most thrilling kisses you've ever had. Reliving it in your mind is giving you these butterflies all over again – the thought of gripping her arm and literally pulling her into the interrogation room behind you - you admit you didn't believe she would follow you.
But now - you had to mess that up, by turning up at the precinct again - and now - all you were going to get from Gail was awkward glances and forced silences instead of passionate kisses. You had no one else to blame really. How you had - inspite of fourteen years of college education - messed this up like a nervous high school nerd is a mystery to you.
You couldn't help yourself there could you - you had to make sure she was okay. You don't know what you saw - but for some reason - this absurd notion had struck you. That Gail wasn't like the rest of the officers heading out this dreadful day. The other officers - those you knew at least - had children and significant others to come home to - and that before risking their lives - would hesitate atleast the slightest bit before throwing themselves in harm's way. And Gail would not. And that snowballed into this huge panic and you had to rush and see her and tell her to be safe.
Except you screwed that up terrifically - and what you're feeling now is worse than the panic you felt about forty minutes ago.
You're still clutching your forehead in your hand when your phone flashes with a call from Gail.
Is it relief you are to feel as you hear her voice again - or complete horror - you aren't quite sure.
