"Come on, let me take you home", Holly said facing Gail. They waited long in the hospital and she saw how exhausted Gail looked.

"No, I don't wanna go home, what if they come up with any news?" Gail folded her hands in her lap and looked down. Holly knelt in front of Gail, took her hands and lifted, with one hand, her chin up. "Hey, you look really tired", she said very soft "let me take you home, Steve will call you when there are any news". Gail looked Holly deeply in the eyes and just said "Okay"

Gail unlocked the door to her apartment and between them was an uncomfortable silence. "I-uhm I think I should go now" Holly said and looked down

"Uh yeah -thanks for bringing me home"

Their eyes met and Gail wanted to ask Holly to stay but she couldn't . "Goodnight" Holly placed a light kiss on Gail's lips, turned around and went downstairs. The desire in Gail built up and she wanted to be with Holly now. Holly was already on her way back to her car but the desire after Holly was bigger than her pride, so she sprinted downstairs and caught Holly as she wanted to get in her car. "Holly", Gail shouted, staying in the door frame.

Holly turned around and smiled, Gail came to her.

"I-I don't want to be alone tonight"

"You want me to stay?"

"Yes" Gail said quietly

"Can I place my coat here?" asked Holly and pointed at the wardrobe.

"Of course you can"

Gail went to the fridge and grabbed a beer "You want one?" "Yeah" Holly replied and sat down on the sofa. Gail handed the beer to Holly and sat down next to her.

"Aren't you tired?"Holly asked.

"No, and I don't think I could sleep now, I can't stop thinking about it, what if Sam dies, what if-" her words were cut off by Holly's lips. She kissed her slowly and passionate. As if they had done it a million times. Gail loved it and in this moment she knew that she would never want to do anything again besides kiss the beautiful brunette who now sat on her lap, placing kisses on her neck. She breathed heavily but then Holly abruptly stopped. She cupped Gail's face and looked her deep in the eyes. "Do you even know what you do to me?" Gail smiled and felt butterflies in her stomach which was a really strange feeling and she didn't quite know how to handle it. She just kissed Holly and pushed her back on the sofa, so she was now on top of Holly.

She stroke Gail's hair back and pulled Gail closer. Their noses were touching and Holly said quietly "You are really beautiful" "You are lying" Gail said laughing, pretending it didn't mean anything to her that the cutest brunette in the world just called her beautiful. "No, I am not" she said serious.

"I wanted to tell you that since the moment we met" Gail's heart fluttered as she heard those words.

And they got into another intense kiss. Soon they didn't quite know where their lips were at. Gail placed a kiss on her collarbone, then her neck, ear, forehead and Holly's hands slipped under Gail's shirt, she drew circles on her hip and Gail let out a quiet moan. Holly felt something wet on her face and it took her a bit until she realized it was Gail crying. She broke the kiss. "Am I really this bad?" Gail smiled quiet, wiped away her tears and sat up, Holly was still under her. "No, it's just.. I am scared that-" "No" Holly sat up and it caused Gail to wrap her legs around the brunettes waist, still sitting on her lap.

"Gail, look at me" She did and as she looked in those dark eyes she knew she would believe anything what this woman said to her. "Everything will be okay, I promise" and as soon as Gail heard the words from Holly she knew that it was true.

"But what if-"

"What if, what if, life is short Gail you can't ask yourself that all the time. What if I hit you with that pillow?"

Before Gail realized what she just said Holly grabbed the pillow from behind her and hit her on her shoulder.

"Ow" Gail shouted "Why did you do that?"

"Oh you know, maybe you just deserved it or I just felt like it or-" she didn't even finished her sentence as she got hit with a pillow.

"Oh so you wanna start a pillow fight? Fine, but you have no chance against the Master"

"Master?" Gail chuckled and hit her on the head "I see how much of a Master you are" She stand up and grabbed another pillow as she tried to hide behind a chair because Holly already had one in her hand and she looked like she's ready to fight.

"Come here if you dare" Gail said and threw a pillow at Holly. She eschew the pillow and threw hers at Gail, it hit her on the chest and Holly quick grabbed the one who's lying on the floor and threw it too.

"Seems like you are gonna lose"

"Oh, I don't think so" Gail went towards Holly and tackled her onto the floor.

"You don't play fair" complained Holly but she smiled.

"You neither"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that you look damn sexy" In that moment Holly's smile was wider than the sky.

"Lets go to bed"

"What? But-"

"Gail, you need your sleep" advised Holly.

"Ugh you really are a nerd" was her snarky comment but she stand up and went to her bedroom, Holly followed her and asked

"Do you want me to leave now?"

Gail hesitated with her answer but she mumbled "No"

"Sure?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah I am, come I will give you some comfy clothes, isn't it hard walking around in these skinny jeans all day?"

"Not if you get a blonde, cute police officer in bed" Holly and Gail laughed and Gail said "I don't know what you mean, I could hesitate you whenever I want"

"So? Prove it" Holly said and moved closer to Gail, planting kisses on her neck and her collar bones. Gail felt the heat in her and she started unbuttoning Holly's jeans. "So that's what you call 'hesitate'?" she said smiling "Yeah, I just help you the get rid off those skinny jeans and change into more comfy sweatpants"

"I see"

In that moment Gail's mobile ringed "Wait a sec." she said to Holly and sprinted to her handy.

As Gail came back, Holly was already changed. She looked brilliant in her white T-shirt and her grey sweatpants. She leaned in the door frame and said

"Wow you should definitely wear my clothes more often"

Holly chuckled "That's fine by me" She gave her an unbelievable sexy look and Gail felt how she

blushed.

"Who called you?"

"You are really curious"

"You don't say" Holly gave her a smile

"It was just Steve saying that there won't be anything new until tomorrow, but he stays in the hospital anyways"

Holly just nodded and Gail knew that she cared about her and what's going on in her life. It made her feel safe.

"Do you have something against if I change here?" She asked, moving to her wardrobe

"I have waited for that moment"

Gail raised an eyebrow at Holly "Hey I'm just joking" She grinned.

But she couldn't help looking at Gail as she pulled off her sweater and changed into a blue tee. You could see her muscles on her back work as she grabbed her black shorts.

"Is that Winnie the pooh on your panties?"

Gail slowly turned around, holding the shorts in front of her center "...No"

Holly couldn't hold back her laughter "It is I saw it!"

"And? I couldn't know that I would get a cute pathologist in my bed as I dressed this morning. Why did you look there at all?" Ha, Gail Peck just caught the brunette looking at her and strangely it was a really good feeling.

"As if someone could look away when you stay half-naked in front of them" Gail's heart dropped. It wasn't the first time today and it felt good, God Gail felt good after a long time. "Come here" Holly tapped on the bed sheets. Gail quickly put her shorts on and moved to her bed.

They talked and laughed for hours. It was after 1am and they already cried of laughing.

"Why do you even put those glasses on? It makes you 100% more of a nerd" Gail said giggling

"Oh shut up" She gently poked Gail's shoulder

"Try them on"

"What?"

"Try them on, lets see if it makes you a nerd" Holly gave Gail her glasses

"OH GOD WHATS UP WITH YOUR EYES? Are you blind or something?" Gail chuckled

"Very funny I am actually -"

"Oh stop, so late at night I can't hear any more Google-talking!" She put off the glasses and gave it back to Holly.

"Wow you look really sexy without your optical aid"

"hmm, but I can't see without it so I have to wear my glasses and deal with the fact I don't look sexy with it"

"Oh God, you look always sexy" Gail blurted out.

"Really?" whispered Holly as she leaned in for a kiss.

"Yes" Gail whispered back against her lips.

Holly pushed Gail in the sheets and they shared a long, breathtaking kiss. Gail could feel the heat crawl to her center and her stomach and she let out a small moan. Holly lifted her shirt up and started to plant kisses around her navel.

"Does it feel good?" Holly asked careful

"Fuck yes"

It made her smile and she looked into Gail's eyes. One hand still under her shirt, caressing her hips.

"I think I am falling for you" Holly said under her breath

And Gail couldn't resist those eyes. Full of joy and truth. She knew this woman would never lie to her.

She didn't say anything in this moment.

She just

put her lips

softly on Holly's.
