Chapter 1

"Alison to the Nurse's station, Alison to the Nurse's station" echoed through
the theatre speakers.

"I'll be right with you ma'am" the chestnut hair girl smiled at her patient as
she removed her gloves and made her way to the nurses station at the end of
the corridor.

"What's up Sandra" she asked leaning her body against the counter of the
station, her manager glanced up almost surprised she had came so quickly
to her call.

"There you are Ally, I just wanted to see if you wanted a couple of extra
shifts next week, Margaret is still on sick leave for at least another couple of
weeks and I need a check in nurse to cover" the petite matured blonde asked
her Nurse.

"Are you asking me or just informing me I have extra hours to do" Ally
questioned knowing her boss far too well.

"Well I can't force you but you must remember all those mornings I got
cover for you when you were siiiiiick" Sandra teased knowing full well how
a 26 year old single nurse behaved. Sandra herself was once that age and
didn't blame the brunette for being late at times.

Ally rolled her eyes, she knew Sandra was probably the best boss she had
ever had, letting her away with things a nursing manager probably
shouldn't. How could Ally say no?

"Ok ok fine but as soon as that hag Maggie is back, I want dibs on the best
surgeries going for a week" she demanded as she began walking away and
back towards her patient hearing Sandra singing her praises as she walked
away only made her smile.

Ally was a theatre nurse at one of London's busiest hospitals..her average

day consisted of getting up at 6 to be in work for just after 7, she spent most
of her working hours scrubbing in to surgeries, assisting the Surgeon. She
truly loved her job despite its long hours and being exposed to bodily fluids
on more than one occasion, she just loved her job.

Of course there was a demand for scrubbing into surgery and when she had
to share she was either a floating nurse in the theatre which assisted the
scrub nurse getting gauze or equipment whatever was needed she done
it..and if Sandra really had it in for Ally, the brunette was forced to work in
recovery or like today at the front desk checking patients in. It bored her to
death doing the same thing over and over for 12 hours, checking patient IDs
and allergies. She felt most comfortable staring down at the insides of some
poor old fellas guts. Vascular was her favourite, she had spent 2 years living
in Gambia where she had trained in theatre and found out she had loved it.

Ally had been mostly assisting with amputations or surgeries on the arteries
around the body, it was one of a few things she fell in love with while over
in Gambia. Now back in London for the past 8 months it was strange, very
strange settling back into a new job, new lifestyle and a new life in general
but she was beginning to enjoy life again finding her happiness in her job.

It was after 9 by the time Ally got back to her flat that evening, walking in
she placed her keys on the kitchen counter allowing the fresh smell of
spices hit her nose she snuck up snaking her arms around a slender body
causing the short blonde to jump in her touch.

"Honey I'm home" she whispered into the blonde locks as she gave the girl
a tight squeeze.

"You stink...go have a shower, dinner will be ready in 10" the blonde said
moving out of Ally's touch as she busied herself draining the pasta in the
sink. Ally gave a salute as she made her way towards the bathroom.
"Oh Shel is coming over so put on a bra..I don't want my girlfriend drooling
over you" the blonde warned causing Ally to turn and laugh.

"I Can't help how sexy these bad boys are Rach" Ally replied grabbing her
breasts between her fingers giving them a jiggle as she giggled her way
towards the shower. Rachel was Ally's wacky roommate. She was literally
whacky. She was one of those echo friendly whack jobs who believed in
Woman's rights and an extreme animal lover, she had long blonde
dreadlocks tied back with bits of faded purple through her roots, a few
facial piercings and the sweetest heart. They had only known each other
since Ally had moved in but Ally knew she had made a friend for life with
the hip blonde...they were like sisters and she adored her long term
girlfriend Shel too.

**

Ally slammed her palm against the loud alarm clock that read 6:15am the
next morning. This should be illegal she thought to herself as it was her 5th
12 hour shift in a row. Her head a little fuzzy from the numerous glasses of
wine she had at dinner last night with Shel and Rach, she quickly got
dressed and made her way to work.

Flattening her oversized scrub top, she tied her scrub hat tightly over her
chestnut hair making her way into the morning staff report. The report was
held every morning outlining what was scheduled for the day. Ally sat with
Sarah another nurse she had became somewhat close to the past couple of
months.

"Morning ladies" Sandra declared as she walked into the room getting every
ones full attention as the chatting subsided.

"And Barry of course" Sandra added dryly given the only male a quick nod.
Barry was probably more feminine than all the nurses combined but Ally
loved his bitchy gay self.

"We have a full schedule in Orthopaedics today so I need two nurses the
afternoon for Mr. Timmons two slots" she said as Ally began to zone out.
Same old, same old she thought knowing she was stuck at the front desk
checking people in for 12 hours she had wished she slept it in this morning.

"Also we have a new Surgeon on Mr. Hunts vascular team" Sandra added as
she disappeared out the door causing people to whisper and mutter with
confusion she returned a few seconds later.

"This is Ms. Thomas" Sandra perked as the young Surgeon stepped into the
room. Ally felt sick to her stomach. She felt the blood drain from her face as
she sat quietly hoping not to be seen. The brunette covered her face partially
as Sandra welcomed the Surgeon and informing how all the staff are
pleased to have her join the team. The dyed brown head didn't seem to
notice Ally in the corner of the room.

The staff began to exit the room as Sandra dismissed everyone as she
escorted Ms Thomas out. Great Ally thought I'm just going to slip out of
here and never ever step foot in this hospital again. The panic raced through
her. What the hell was she doing in London Ally thought to herself. Ally
needed to leave now, to get home and get her head around who had just
walked into the room..struggling to her feet she took a couple of deep
breaths as she walked over to the window looking out to the busy street
below.

Relax Ally it's ok you can do this she told herself as she made a plan of
heading straight to the dressing room she would just ring Sandra later,
dealing with the consequences next week right now she didn't even know if
she could stay working here.

Ally sighed as she turned for the door, those light blue eyes burning into her
causing her to stop in her tracks. Her throat dry and a horrible knot formed
in her stomach as emotions came running back. Ally had managed to
somehow live again and now this..why was she being punished again.

"Hey Al" she spoke as Ally's heart sank..she couldn't do this...not now or
ever. Ally managed to get her feet to move as she headed for the door, not
being stopped by the dark haired girl she breathed out heavily as she could
as she made her way towards the locker room bursting through the door she
struggled with her breathing.
This was the first time she had seen Katie Thomas since she left Gambia.
The last time she had seen Katie, Ally swore to herself it would be the last.
Ally paced the locker room as she panicked, now what. What was she going
to do, just expected to walk back out there and pretend it was another
boring day at the front desk or leave and most likely get the sack from
Sandra on Monday morning. The door crept opened as Katie stepped
through closing the door behind her as she folded her arms awkwardly
stepping in to the cluttered room.

"Ally" she said softly, no hatred or anger visible in her soft American accent
that Ally was used to hearing.

"What are you doing here" Ally asked still in disbelief. What the hell was
going on she thought.

"I got a job" Katie replied allowing a small smile appear on her face. A
smile one time would have made Ally's heart melt but now all Ally felt was
confused and disorientated, was this some sort of sick joke.

"Why here Katie, why now" Ally snapped feeling frustrated.

"I wanted a change, there were too many memories in Gambia" Katie
replied her facial expression slightly more serious as her eyes poured into
Ally's.

"And what about Ally, I never want to see you again" Ally shot back she
was trying to be calm but hurt and slight anger came over her.

"Things change Alison" Katie said as she stepped forward causing the
brunette to step back as she began to panic again.

"I can't do this" Ally breathed out as she removed her surgical hat.

"Ally" Katie whispered afraid to take another step towards the brunettes.
She could sense Ally was having a meltdown right now but there was no
easy way of walking back into her life.

"I need to go" Ally said as she brushed passed the dark haired surgeon.
"You need to leave Katie" she added as she marched towards the door.

"Walk away Ally but I'm not leaving" Katie replied as she turned watching
Ally halt at the door.

"Why Katie, there are thousands of hospitals out there, you don't need to
work in this one..just leave please" Ally begged as she felt tears prickle her
eyes, she turned around again opening the door.

"I'm not leaving, you're my wife Al whether you like it or not" Katie replied
as the brunettes head snapped around, her brown eyes glared at the young
surgeon...

Thanks for reading :)

 Chapter 2

"What" Ally replied ensuring her voice was low until she closed the locker
room door once again behind her glaring at the dark haired girl.

"You're my wife Ally whether you like it or not" Katie repeated. She has
gone mad Ally thought to herself as she paced the short distance between
the door and some closed lockers, there was no way this was possible.

"You are crazy Katie" Ally mocked the other girl's madness.

"I signed those stupid papers before I left, I gave you what you wanted"
Ally's snapped feeling her tears surface as the memories of her heart ache
came flooding back. Why was Katie here to torment her after everything
that had happened.

"Look now really is not the time to talk about this, We can discuss this over
lunch" Katie said almost avoiding Ally's question. It was true, Ally had left
Gambia all those months ago when she gave in to Katie's request. Sure
Katie was angry and said things she now knows were in heat of the
moment, deep down Katie never thought Ally would actually sign the
divorce papers and when she did, Katie never actually went back to her
lawyer. Not yet anyway..

"You have a lot of fucking explaining to do" Ally shot back as she sniffed
back her emotions, wiping her eyes she knew if she didn't get to the first
desk. Sandra would be on a war path hunting her down. She left the locker
room without so much as a look in Katie's direction.

Flashback

Ally knocked back the last of the whiskey in her glass as she stumbled to her
feet. This was it, she was finally giving Katie what she wanted. The way her
wife looked at her earlier that day in the hospital, the hatred in those bright
blue eyes ripped her heart out.

3 months Ally had tried everything in her power to convince Katie she was
the same sweet English girl Katie had fallen head over heels with nearly
two years ago but here she was drunk as hell as she played loosely with her
wedding ring between her fingers. Memories of the happiest day of her life
made her nauseous or maybe it was just to 4 glasses of neat whiskey she
had just devoured contemplating signing her life away.

She held her head in her hands as she glanced down at Katie's signature on
her divorce papers. Katie had given them to her almost two months ago.
Hearing the front door shut loudly her blurred vision glanced at her wife,
soon to be ex wife now glared back at her.

Katie shook her head as she placed her keys in the bowl. The smell of booze
entered her nostrils as soon as she walked in to the apartment. How long
was this going to go on for, she was sick of night after night having to clean
up the empty bottles of beer, whiskey or whatever Ally was in the mood for.

"This needs to stop sooner or later Alison" Katie muttered as she walked
passed the sitting room and straight in to the kitchen, flicking on the kettle.
Katie leaned against the counter as she heard footsteps stumble in her
direction, she already had a shit day in surgery losing one of her patients,
she really was not in the mood for one of Ally's drunken speeches of how
she was sorry and that they could make things work.

Katie watched as her frail wife stood at the door frame, worry washed over
her as Ally's eyes fixated on the floor as she kept quiet, suddenly not
appearing as drunk as she normally was these past couple of months.

"Do you love me" Ally asked keeping her eyes firmly on the ground.

"Not again" Katie sighed holding her head in her hands, she had been
asked this question a hundred times but had somehow managed to always
end up in a screaming match with the brunette before she would even have
to reply to her question.
"Katie..I..I..just answer me please" Ally said calmly as she looked up her
brown eyes pleading with Katie. There was no shouting or begging for
forgiveness, just a plain and simple question she needed answered.

Katie sighed as she hugged her body tightly, she couldn't do this anymore.
Whether she loved Ally or not it wasn't about that and truth was she knew
how stubborn Ally was that whatever answer she gave, Ally would always
be there, always try to worm her way back in. Hell Ally wouldn't even move
out after Katie had said they were over, this was just another opportunity
for Ally to feel sorry for herself.

"No" Katie lied as she watched the words hit Ally like a ton of bricks.

"I have told you before I want you to just walk out that front door and never
come back, I never want to see you again but I still have to in work, here"
Katie snapped.

She knew it was all going to kick off now. Ally would shout how selfish
Katie was and how a marriage was for life. Katie felt helpless these past
few months, she needed to end this marriage for herself.Ally was no longer
that girl who made her heart flutter with her sense of humour and sweet
caring personality that she fell in love with. Ally was now turned into some
bitter underweight drunk who constantly made Katie feel bad for putting
herself first and ending their marriage.

Ally nodded as her heart sank, this was it, she had made the right choice
two weeks ago when she walked into her bosses office and handed in her
notice, she booked her flights back to the England keeping it quiet she was
hoping she would get one last chance.

"Ok" Ally whispered giving her wife one last look she turned around taking
the envelope that contained Katie's freedom and headed straight for the
spare room. Katie was surprised how calm things were. Maybe it was harsh
her speaking to Ally that way but she had so much anger, Ally was the one
to blame for this. Katie had said her piece and now Ally needed to leave her
to get on with her life.
Looking down at her wife's signature, the perfect signature with no signs of
hesitation as Katie Thomas scribble across the dotted line. Ally sat on the
bed as she clicked her pen looking down at the dotted line over her printed
name Alison Thomas, this was it. She took a deep breath as she signed her
name as a single tear drop splashed against the page. That was the last
night she spent in her home, the last time had seen Katie.

It took two days for Katie to realise Ally was gone, she had felt slightly
guilty for her outburst of never wanting to see Ally again. Normally she
would see Ally in work at least a couple of times a day but she knew
something was up the second day she had gotten to work.

Ally never came home the night before and Katie just put it down to her
going on a pub bender or maybe extra shifts at the hospital but when she
spoke to Tina who was one of Ally's friends who was also a scrub nurse
asking where Ally was, Tina's face said it all, she was gone.

Racing home that evening Katie burst through the door calling out Ally's
name she went to the spare room, the pillows and cushions placed neatly on
the freshly made bed..the room was spotless, empty wardrobes. The room
was cleared, all that remained was a white envelope with Katie's name on it
that rested on the bedside table.

Katie sat on the bed as she tore open the envelope emptying the contents.
Two copies of the divorce papers signed and dated two nights ago, the last
time she had seen Ally. Katie's fingers tracing over Ally's signature she
began to feel sick, this was it, this is what she had hounded the brunette for
past 2 months to sign.

Katie should be jumping for joy. She held the white gold wedding band and
diamond engagement in her hand. A folded piece of paper with two simple
words of 'I'm sorry' in Ally's neat hand writing. Katie was free now, she was
young and single and had her whole life a head of her but already she felt
as though she was missing something..or maybe someone...

***
Ally sat in a daze in the staff canteen. It had been 4 hours since she had seen
Katie walk back into her life, starting as a new surgeon in the hospital. She
had managed to busy herself into her work. Why the hell was Katie back,
Katie had made it clear months before Ally left Gambia that she didn't want
Ally and even though it broke her heart to sign those papers and leave her
life they had built together.

Ally had finally settled back into a job, made new friends and was
beginning to start to live again, enjoy herself and now all those memories
and mistakes were just coming back. Two slender fingers folded within her
gaze at the table, she knew those fingers. A white gold wedding band that
was identical to the one she used to wear was now looped around the girls
right middle finger. Ally snapped out of her gaze as she looked up meeting
those bright blue eyes., her heart raced.

Ally missed Katie so much, those bright blue eyes, her amazing figure and
remembering how intoxicating her laugh was. Katie appeared different
though. The Surgeon's hair dyed darker than her natural mousy brown locks
it suited her, it made her eyes the more dominant in her appearance, her skin
appeared much more clearer and healthy than the last time she had seen her.
Then again Katie no longer had the stress of her in her life. There is was
that sickening feeling in the pit of her stomach Ally felt, they had a lot to
talk about.

"Hey" Ally said softly as she pulled her tray of half eaten sandwich back
towards her giving Katie more table space.

"Hi" Katie replied as she chewed the inside of her cheek, something Ally
knew the other girl done when she was nervous. She had first noticed it
when they had their first date.

"You seem to have calmed down a bit" Katie observed.

"I took a few Xanax" Ally joked but the dark haired girl didn't seem to see
the funny side "I'm joking" Ally coughed away her awkwardness enough of
this small talk, she needed answers.
"So you want to tell me why we are still married" Ally blurted out and Katie
gulped.

***

"Here she is" Shel cheered as Ally threw her coat on the couch walking
around it and putting her feet up as she sat down and sighed.

"Hey" she hummed as Shel began to rub her head. Shel was the complete
opposite to her girlfriend. Shel had jet black hair and feminine looks, she
had been brought up in a town house in Mayfair to a Mother who was a
Doctor and Father who was a top solicitor. Ally could only imagine the
picture on Shel's Parents faces when Shel brought Rachel home for the first
time.

Ally loved the couple, they had become her closest friends since coming to
London. Ally had left her life she had in Gambia and started over something
Rach and Shel had let her do with very few questions, maybe they knew it
was hard for Ally seeing what life was like in Gambia for the natives, the
lack of health education and facilities in the hospitals they had known it
couldn't have been easy, little did they know that wasn't the only bad
experiences she had put behind her.

"Hard day at work" Rach asked plonking herself down on the couch
opposite her girlfriend and friend.

"Mmmmmh something like that" she hummed, she knew she would have to
tell them sooner or later about Katie but now she emotional drained. How
could she randomly come out with oh hey guys by the way my ex well no
who I thought was my ex wife has just waltz back into my life.

No she had done enough talking today and honestly talking about Katie was
the last thing she wanted to do right now after how she left things at lunch
time. It was now Ally who was pissed off with Katie. How she could keep
the secret of not filing those divorce papers after all these months angered
her, it broke Ally's heart knowing she was a 26 year old divorcee who
needed to start her life over all the while she was still married to a girl who
hated her back in Gambia.
She needed to lie down, needed time to get her head around all of it and try
process what the hell had happened in the last 15 hours. She excused herself
as she headed to bed, this really wasn't like her. Friday night with no work
for the weekend she should be doing shots of tequila off her kitchen counter
by now with the two girls but instead she opted for a long hot shower and
her pyjamas as she settled into bed dozing off to sleep.

"Stop" she groaned sleepily as she felt something wet in her ear, she was
enjoying her sleep. A few seconds later an even wetter object entered her
ear along with a fit of giggles. Ally groaned again as her eyes open lazily
she slapped Rachel's arm away.

"Oww bitch" Rach hissed as she wiggled her wet finger in her friends face.

"Go away pest this is my first lie in all week" Ally mumbled pulling her
pillow over her head.

"Time to get up, you have a guest waiting for you in the sitting room" Rach
replied casually as she pulled the pillow away.

"Tell them I'm not in, I went out last night and fucked some gorgeous
blonde, I'm sure you will think off something" Ally grumbled she needed to
catch up on her sleep.

"I don't think your Wife will be to happy to hear that, she's sat outside"
Rachel replied dryly as Ally's head shot up facing her friend who glared at
her, her face must have said it all as Rachel's hand covered her mouth.

"So it is fucking true" Rachel whispered as she took her almighty dramatic
gasp.

"Bollocks" Ally mumbled as she pulled the edge of duvet over her head.
She buried herself under the undercover wishing her bed would just
swallow her up...

 Chapter 3

"Ugh god" Ally mumbled as she hopped out of bed opening her bedroom
door a jar, she watched as Shel chatted away to Katie offering her a cup of
something hot.

"What the fuck" Rach snapped as she shut the door closed demanding
answers from her friend

"I didn't know ok" Ally sighed as she put her hands up in her defence
walking around her the blonde she went to pick some clothes to wear.

"How the fuck do you not know if you were married or not" Rach
questioned as she sat on Ally's bed arms folded tightly.

"No I mean I thought we were divorced, I signed the papers the night I left
Gambia and thought she got it finalised" Ally replied as she slipped a pair
of loose track suit bottoms on, she tied her chestnut hair back into a messy
bun.

"Why didn't you tell me" Rach eyes furrowed with hurt.

"We are suppose to be friends Ally, if that is even your name" she mumbled
sulking as she glared at the pile of clothes on the floor.

"Rach" Ally sighed. Of course she felt bad about keeping it from her but
there was nothing she could do to change it now, she sat on the edge of her
bed as she entwined her fingers with the blondes who looked up at her with
sadness.

"I fucked up Rach before I met you, I made mistakes, broke her heart as
well as mine and truth be told I never thought I would see her again until
she turned up at work yesterday" Ally explained.
"Yeeeeesterday" Rachel groaned clearly pissed she hadn't told her about it
last night.

"Look Rach I know you hate me right now, I will explain everything to you
later I promise" she said as she hooked her pinky with Rachel's as Ally
pouted her lower lip over her mouth the blonde smiled as she gave her
friend a quick hug.

"I'm sorry" Ally mumbled into her friends neck as she pulled back from the
embrace and stood up. Ally felt butterflies in her stomach as she gave
herself a quick glance in her full length mirror before opening her bedroom
door encouraging her friend to come out of the room with her.

"Hey" Katie said as she got to her feet, placing her coffee on the table. The
Surgeon felt her heart flutter as she saw Ally coming from her room with
the short dreadlocked woman. Ally was dressed in a white tank top and
oversized track suit bottoms , this used to be her favourite look of her
wife's.

They spent the majority of their first year of marriage lazing around their
apartment nursing hangovers, dressing down and eating Chinese. That
doesn't mean to say when Ally wore a sexy dress showing off her curves
and legs it didn't send Katie's brain on overdrive but she thought Ally's
natural beauty was way more sexier. Ally had gained back her sexy curves
she had lost towards the end of their marriage, she got a glimpse of the old
Ally she knew and loves..loved...

"What are you doing here" Ally replied looking over at Shel who smiled
awkwardly as she stood between them nurturing her cup of coffee.

"Can we talk" Katie questioned, Ally nodded after a few seconds she
couldn't bear the awkwardness of someone from her past meeting her new
friends.

"Come on" Ally said as she headed back towards her room in silence for
some privacy. The brunette stood by her door as Katie walked in past her
Shel mouthed "she's hot" to Ally as the brunette rolled her eyes and shut the
door closed tightly.
Katie smiled to herself as she looked around the messy room. She
remembered all the times she would have to clean up after the brunette and
how she had nagged her wife to do house chores in their home. Ally didn't
seem to lose her ability of making a wardrobe out of a floor.Katie glanced at
the bed, this was where Ally lived now, slept here every night without her
for the past 9 months.

Katie felt anxious as thoughts raced through her mind in that very minute.
What if Ally shared this bed with another girl, a new girl. It was possible
that Ally could be in a new relationship. Ally could sense an uncomfortable
glare from the Katie as they stood in her room.

"How did you even get my address" she asked as Katie's nervous habit
kicked in as she chewed her cheek.

"Denny gave it to me" Katie replied as Ally's teeth grinding together. Ally
should have known her sister had something to do with this, of course her
little sister Denise couldn't keep her fat trap shut she was just going to have
to pay her younger sister a trip very soon.

"Katie you need to give me space" Ally spoke honestly as the last 24 hours
were a whirlwind.

"What like you did when I told you we were over" Katie shot back at the
brunette's bluntness but immediately regretted what she said as hurt washed
over Ally's face.

"You got what you wanted in the end Katie so don't throw that shit back in
my face" Ally snapped folding her arms tightly across her chest.

"Look I'm not here to fight with you" Katie said trying to keep their arguing
to a minimum, they had fought enough in the past to last them a life time.

"Why are you here then" Ally asked her voice equally as calm.

"To make sure you are ok after yesterday, you just left lunch in such a hurry
I wanted to make sure you were ok" Katie replied.
"No I mean why are you here in London, why are we still married, you
couldn't wait for me to leave our apartment, our life..why Katie" Ally
shouted unable to keep herself calm she could feel her buried emotions
creep back. She spent months her pinning for even one more day of her old
life back how she would treat Katie differently and be a good wife but like
Katie had said before there was no going back.

There was no taking back what had been done so why was Katie here, here
acting like nothing had happened between them. Ally fought to keep her
tears back. She couldn't show her weakness. Katie had seen her at her rock
bottom but she was different now, she was strong and could face anything.

"I don't know" Katie cried as she felt defeated.

"I don't fucking know" she repeated slightly more angry this time she began
pacing the room.

"I spent months hating you Ally, wishing we never got married and when
you signed those papers I was finally free but I didn't feel free, I don't feel
free" she added as she wiped her tears in her sleeve as she dropped to the
edge of Ally's bed as Ally was puzzled looking down on her.

What was Katie saying, firstly she regretted their marriage but now was she
saying she regretted ending it? Ally sat down beside her ex. This was twice
in the past 10 minutes she had comforted two women on her bed. This was
the most action her bed had ever witnessed.

"I don't know why I'm here Al, I really don't, I thought maybe if I seen you
it would help me move on" she sniffed as her eyes locked with Ally's dark
chocolate brown eyes.

"And now" Ally questioned not breaking eye contact.

"I don't know" Katie shrugged knowing her answer wasn't very clear.

"I have missed you though" Katie muttered as she wiped her eyeliner into
her sleeve feeling slightly embarrassed but she felt at ease knowing Ally
had seen her in a lot more compromising positions.
"I've missed you too" Ally agreed as she places her palms together between
her legs. It was truth and no matter what was happening and how messed up
things were between them at least they had agreed on something for the first
time in over a year. Katie's smile reflected off the brunette as Ally
remembered the first time she had ever seen it.

Nearly 3 years ago

"Nervous" Tina whispered in Ally's ear as they stood looking around the
operating room. Ally had qualified when she was 21 and worked as a nurse
on a surgical ward for over two years back in London.

This was what she had dreamt of doing, being a nurse scrubbed into an
actual surgery on an actual person. She had arrived in Gambia a month
ago and started work straight away at the hospital. She had spent the past
few weeks learning the tricks of the trade around the operating theatre,
ensuring to stay safely in the background, memorising all the instruments
she was finally ready for her first scrub in..An amputation was going to be
her first ever surgery she was going to scrub in on her own.

"Shitting it" she whispered back knocking the girls shoulder playfully and
made her way to the large sinks where she was about to perform her
surgical hand wash, flipping her mask over her mouth, she felt nauseous
from the excitement of actually scrubbing in to her first surgery alone.

This is what she waited for, spent hours preparing for an interview and
getting the job she learnt everything, she needed to know for this. She began
spent five minutes sterilising her hands as much as possible as she quickly
turned around to put her surgical gown on she collided with something.

"Bloody hell watch where you are going" a man of 6 foot snapped dressed
in his theatre gown continued to march towards the operating theatre..he
couldn't have been more than his late twenties with his west London
accent..clearly another rich boy who's parents forced him to become the
latest Doctor in their stuck up family.
"Dickhead" she muttered as she returned back to the sink to start her hand
hygiene from the beginning. She heard a muffled laugh behind her as she
turned her head, bright blue eyes staring at her with amusement with a
surgical mask covering her face, the girl passed her placing a hand on
Ally's shoulder leaning forward.

"He studied in Oxford, he's excused from having any people skills" the
American accent rang through Ally's ears as the light brown hair peeped
through the others girls pink scrub hat. She was gone before Ally could
reply, a smile crept on Ally's face beneath her mask as she turned back
quickly scrubbing her hands.

"Have you got everything" Tina asked Ally as she stood back from the
sterile area.

"I Think so" Ally replied as she pointed at each instrument naming them off
in her head. She needed to relax as she stood over the unconscious patient.

Just my luck she thought to herself as the arrogant twat she bumped into
earlier was now standing beside her most likely going to assist in this
surgery. This was going to be messy she thought and she wasn't talking
about the blood bath with the poor guy lying on the table was getting his leg
chopped off. She busied herself checking over the equipment once again not
noticing the surgery was about to start until she noticed the sound of
diathermy being used against the patients skin.

"Gauze" Ally heard faintly in the background as she snapped back into
reality, she glanced around the room disorientated after zoning out.

"Sorry" she mumbled as she looked over to those blue eyes staring back at,
great the American girl was a surgeon too and most likely thought Ally was
simple.

"She needs gauze" was shouted into Ally's ear causing her to flinch as she
quickly busied herself handing the dick head gauze who then handed it to
the mysterious blue eyed girl.
"Thanks" came from the Surgeon who Ally could sense gave her a
sympathetic smile. Another tall man walked into the operating theatre
known as Mr. Masood who performed the amputation.

Smart comments were throwing in the brunettes direction for the rest of the
surgery, she felt embarrassed. She was here doing her job and some snob of
an arse hole was making a fool of her in front others.

Once the surgery was finised, the patient was brought to recovery. Stepping
outside of the operating theatre as she pulled off her scrub gown throwing it
into the bin she burst out to the corridor she leaned against the wall taking
a deep breath, maybe this was a mistake, maybe she wasn't cut out to be a
theatre nurse, maybe changing pads and emptying commodes was what she
was meant to do.

"Nurses" she heard being muttered as her new favourite Doctor walked out
of surgery with the Anaesthetist clearly mocking her. She placed her hands
on her hips as she watched him walk away.

"Doctors" she muttered "What a prick" she added turning in her heels she
jumped back as a masked face was directly in front of her.

"You know technically when we become Surgeons the whole Doctor thing
drops" the sweet American voice said as her dark eye liner enhanced the
light shade of blue in her eyes. Ally was memorised by them, she has never
been so a taken by eyes before. Ally herself was more of a boob and arse
sort of girl but she had yet to check these things on the surgeon.

"Miss Thomas" the light haired girl said as she extended her right hand
allowing Ally to take it in her own "but you can call me Katie" she added

"and that was Dr. Keane, he hasn't quiet made the Mr. status yet" she
pointed towards the end of the corridor.

"but you can call him a prick if you would prefer, just maybe not to his face"
Katie joked as she dropped Ally's hand. The brunette's cheeks flushed
feeling embarrassed that Katie had heard what she said, another thing to
add to how shit of a nurse she was.
"Alison" Ally said not really like using her full name as it reminded her too
much of her mother.

"Alison" Katie repeated the other girls words.

"I prefer Ally though" Ally added kind of hoping the other girl would say
her name..she could feel an instant attraction and she hadn't even seen the
girls face.

"Ally..I like it" Katie said as she reached up to scratch her nose noticing she
still had a mask on

"Sorry" she laughed as she took her mask off, her eyes connected with Ally's
chocolate brown eyes. She could stay here all day looking into those eyes
but she knew she was already late for another surgery.

"Anyway I've got to assist another amputation" Katie said almost

disappointed as she began to step backwards keeping her eyes on Ally.

"Everybody has a shit first day scrubbing in Alison" Katie said as she
smiled and there it was Ally knew from that moment there was something
special about this girl.

They say love at first sight and normally Ally didn't believe in that shit but
she knew her life changed that day. That was the first day of the rest of her
life or so at least she thought. It turns out that day wasn't the first time
Katie had noticed Ally.

Katie had seen Ally around the four weeks prior to that day. Katie first
noticed her in the staff canteen, sitting not far from the Nurse's table she
had overheard people introducing themselves to her so she was another
new kid on the block.

Katie had only arrived in Gambia six months before after finishing up in
her homeland of New Jersey. She was almost finished her assistant surgeon
internship in vascular surgery. She knew what it was like to start off new,
how people looked at you like you were the dumbest thing to come out of
America in her case.
Katie felt compelled to the new girl, that shiny chestnut hair and brown eyes
she got a glimpse of from the distance. She was very attractive at least 5
years younger than herself, what totally made her gone on the brunette was
hearing that British accent.

Katie was definitely a sucker for an English accent. She had taken an
particular interest in the new Nurse. Her first encounter with her today
confirmed her feelings, she was definitely attracted to Ally. She thought it
was cute how flustered the brunette was during the surgery, she couldn't
help glance up every now and then from her work as she watched Ally's
fingers point at each instrument clearly naming them off in her head.

Ally had scrubbed into 4 minor surgeries later that week all of which
performed by Katie. A week later they shared their first kiss. A month after
their first kiss they moved into together and on their six month anniversary.
Katie flew them to South Africa were they exchanged vows on a secluded
beach in Cape Town...

***

"So what do we do now" Ally asked not having a clue what was going on.
She was still married to the girl sat next to her on the bed but yet the same
girl hates her guts. Do they stay married or what?

Katie wiped her tears as she tilted her head back sighing as she looked up to
the ceiling. The more she thought about it, the more she knew she was
crazy. She had asked for a divorce not proceeded with it and now turned up
on her wife's door step unable to even explain why she was in the country.

"I don't know" she replied shrugging her shoulders.

"Do you want me to leave" she added turning her head to look into those
brown eyes still full of sadness after all these months, they lacked the spark
they had when they were together.

"I don't know" Ally replied honestly, she didn't know. Could she really have
someone she broke to pieces and knew she still loved in her life..in her
work? as what..her friend?
Or does she tell Katie to leave, could she handle saying another good bye to
her. To the girl she loved, still does. She still had her doubts. Why now did
Katie turn up. Where was Katie's angered attitude Ally was used the months
leading up to her departure and why the hell was she introducing herself as
Ally's wife.

"So you want me to leave" Katie asked her voice now low and timid..

"No...I..I just can't get my head around this Katie, I'm still me, I'm still the
person who ruined our marriage, It's me who you hate and wanted to leave
your life..and now..what you want us to be friends?wives? I just don't know
what this is" Ally spoke honestly. She watched as Katie's eyes closed
momentarily. She knew this was just as hard for Katie as it was for her.

"Al" Katie sighed as she turned her body towards the brunette giving Ally
her full attention

"I know you probably think I'm insane after how this ended in Gambia, I
was so hurt and bitter and probably still am to some extent but life there
wasn't my life anymore, I tried so hard to block you out..pretend like I
didn't need you in my life..for months I pretended to be happy, that I had
moved on..then one morning I woke up and before I knew it I was on a
flight to Heathrow to come here..I moved here a month ago..I wanted to
find you straight away to at least talk but when Denny told me where you
worked I just went for it..applied to the hospital and they offered me the job
straight away...I'm not here to destroy your life or make you feel guilty"
Katie spoke as she played nervously with her wedding ring on her right
middle finger.

"I want you back in my life" Katie said as she chewed her cheek, it was the
truth.

"I'm not saying I want us to get back together or that we ever can but I need
to try, I don't know..try.."

"Ok" Ally interrupted.

"Ok" Katie's eyes furrowed at the brunette who nodded.

"We can try be friends or whatever people do who are still married but are
not together" Ally chuckled. She knew herself she was mad for agreeing to
do this, to try and be friends with someone she had already had her most
intimate and loving relationship with but deep down she had already lost
the best thing of her life when her and Katie broke up so NOW what did she
have to lose.

Thank you for reading :) X

 Chapter 4

A/N : Hope it isn't confusing when I do flashbacks..basically anything

in Italics is a flashback lol just wanted to clear that up!Hope you enjoy
X

"I can't believe you invited her to dinner tomorrow" Ally huffed as threw
herself back against the couch.

"I can't believe you were bloody married and you never told us" Rachel
snapped as she glanced at her girlfriend for support.

"She seems nice" Shel smiled as she sat down drinking the remainder of her
coffee

"She is" Ally sighed.

Katie was one of a kind and seeing her these last couple of days brought
back all of Ally's feelings towards her wife. She missed her smile, those
eyes. She still needed to keep a distance though, until she knew what Katie's
intentions were in London.

So they agreed to well, they didn't really agree to anything. Katie wasn't
going anywhere at the moment and they were going to try well at least be
civil to each other. They would next see each other in work on Monday
when Ally was next in that was until Shel tried to shove another cup of
coffee into Katie and make her stay for brunch.

Katie politely declined as she said she had to drop by work for a few hours
to check in on patients but not before Rach had persuaded Katie to come
around for dinner tomorrow night. Katie had looked at Ally briefly before
answering almost looking for permission while Ally coughed and agreed
saying it was a good idea.
Was it heck a good idea, her wife hanging out with Rach and Shel. Not so
much Shel was Ally worried about. It was Rachel who she feared, a few
glasses of wine into that girl and she was unstoppable. This was going to be
fine she tried to convince herself. She would have dinner, a couple of
glasses of wine and then call Katie a taxi home, voilà. Ally placed a cushion
over her head as she screamed out her frustrations.

***

Katie gripped the bottle of red wine as she stood in front of Ally's front
door. Why did she feel so nervous, it was only dinner and it wasn't as if it
was just her and Ally. Rachel and Shel would be there too. She liked them,
Shel was sweet and certainly knew how to make a strong cup of coffee and
Rachel, she could tell Rachel was like a short big sister for Ally.

They clearly had a close relationship but she liked Rachel's quirkiness. So
here she was her stomach doing flips, she was glad Ally had taken her
arrival better than she thought. Ally looked like she was back to her old self
now. She had her amazing figure back and didn't appear to be getting
trashed every night like she had been for her last couple of months in
Gambia.

Then again she was now single and didn't have a nagging wife in her ear, it
got Katie thinking was it her that brought out the worst in Ally. Were they
one of those poisonous couples who were mad about each other but
destroying everything around them. Katie would like to think not but she
still felt skeptical about being back here, was she really making the right
decision coming here and having Ally back in her life.

The Surgeon still wasn't sure how she felt about Ally anymore, she knew
she didn't exactly hate Ally of course she didn't but she still felt hurt and
betrayed by Ally. When it came to loving Ally her head was messed up.

Katie knew she wasn't in love with Ally right now but there was something
still there buried deep down she knew the real Ally was buried deep down
in the brunette who was on the other side of this white door, the door burst
open in that second revealing two big hazel eyes and a grin as limbs leapt
forward and yanked Katie inside.
"I was wondering where you where, I buzzed you in ages ago" Shel laughed
as she took Katie's coat revealing her tight jeans and black and white striped
top that clung to the right places. Katie had actually bought this top with her
wife over a year ago but loved it so much she insisted on buying it in all the
other colours this still being her favourite, she knew Ally would appreciate
it.

"Here" Katie smiled handing Shel the bottle as they walked further into the
apartment to smell of homemade cooking filled her nostrils her stomach
rumbled.

"Come on in and take a seat" Shel chirped as she ushered Katie over to the
couch.

"Can I get you wine or beer or vodka or rum or" Shel rambled.

"Wine would be prefect" Katie giggled as she sat down on the comfy couch
looking around the flat which was homely decorated.

"Als your wifey is here" Shel called out rounding the corner to the open
kitchen. Katie's heart flutter, she hadn't heard anyone refer to her as Ally's
wife in a very long time. It made her warm inside briefly before she heard
muffled voices clearly Ally giving out to Shel for saying it.

Ally walked into the living room as she smiled widely walking over to
Katie who got to her feet. Katie's eyes skimmed down at Ally's tight dark
blue dress that stopped half way down her thigh. Ally had definitely got her
sexy curves back Katie thought as she quickly looked back into those
chocolate brown eyes.

"Hi" Ally smiled wiping her hands in a tea towel not sure whether to hug
her wife or not, she kept a small distance waiting for Katie's reply.

"Hey" Katie coughed clearing her throat as they both watched each other
awkwardly lean forward for a hug. Ally breathed in Katie's smell as she's
locked her slender hands around Katie resting her chin on Katie's shoulder.
Katie sighed quietly to herself, god she missed Ally's touch. The warmth of
her body against her own. She quickly broke away ensuring no old feelings
could take over she gave Ally a quick smile and sat back down. Ally was
about to say something but Shel came rushing in with Katie's wine.

"Dinner won't be long" Ally stated as she made her way back into the
kitchen. Ally picked up her beer as Rach stirred the sauce watching the
brunette knock back her drink, placing the empty bottle on the counter she
removed another bottle from the fridge twisting the cap.

"Ally are you ok" Rach asked sipping her own beer as her friend glared at
her. Rach had never seen her friend like this, so excited yet nervous for the
whole day she had watched Ally pace their flat tidy up every now and then.

"I will be after this dinner is over with" Ally breathed out taking another
large gulp.

"You still love her don't you" Rach said ensuring she kept her voice down
she knew Shel and Katie were next door deep in conversation. Ally's brown
eyes glared at her, she didn't need to answer her friends question.

*****

"Hey sexy" Ally smirked standing at her door looking down at Katie's short
skirt, she bit her lip as her eyes roamed back meeting those lustful blue
eyes. Katie didn't say anything she didn't need to, she stepped forward
taking Ally's lips in her own as she pushed the nurse back against the door
allowing her leg to slip between Ally's dress.

This was their first proper date, having met officially two weeks ago, kissed
last week and had sex every day since. Katie was already smitten with the
English girl, sure they had sex amazing hot sex whether it was in her bed,
Ally's bed, on an operating theatre bed or their new secret store room, it
was amazing.

Katie knew this wasn't like an ordinary booty call, sure they had their fair
share of dirty texts but Ally was different. They laughed and joked over
lunch, talked about anything and everything. Katie could admit already Ally
was the closet person she had in Gambia, earlier that day as they flirted
over lunch.

Ally had asked Katie to come around for dinner, their official first date
Katie joked as Ally gripped her hand entwining their fingers together. Ally
agreed with all seriousness, it made Katie's heart flutter as Ally brought
Katie's hand to her lips placing a chaste kiss on the soft skin causing Katie
to grin. She loved how after so little time spent together how comfortable
they were.

Ally would sneakily walk along Katie down a corridor taking her hand in
her own briefly giving her a quick flirtatious smile or stealing a peck on the
lips before running back to work..

"Mmmmm you taste amazing" Katie mumbled..bringing her left hand from
around her back she held a single white rose between them as a huge grin
appeared on Ally's face..

"You are too cute" Ally said placing a quick kiss on Katie's lips, she tore
away from the surgeon and yanked her in towards the kitchen.Katie's eyes
furrowed at the funky smell coming from the kitchen.

"What is for dinner" Katie asked curious to what the smell was

"Chicken Yassa" Ally clapped her hands together.Katie nodded in

agreement truth be told she was expecting fish and chips or as Ally would
call it a bacon butty. Half an hour later Ally serve up two plates of, well
how could Katie describe it without being rude...oh screw it..gunk..two
plates of gunk...

"Yummmmm what's in it" Katie said smelling it as she put on a brave face,
poking her fork at the contents similar to what she removed from a 49 year
old Gambian man only 6 hours ago.

"Oh a whole load of stuff" Ally said shaking her hand in the air she picked
up her own fork ready to take a bite. Katie put some food on her fork as she
mimicked Ally's actions, she had to brave it and eat some after all the effort
Ally had put into it.
Both girls placed a fork full of food in their mouth as the taste of spices hit
Katie the back of the throat first causing her to panic she coughed violently
getting up from her chair. Ally spat her food out as she quickly raced over
to Katie as worry took over watching Katie's faced turn red a tomato as she
coughed violently

"Oh my god babe" Ally panicked sure she was a nurse but what was she
suppose to do

"Water" Katie choked out a breath as the brunette raced to the sink finding
a glass and handing it to Katie who quickly gulped back the cool
liquid...Katie soon caught her breath as the burning sensation had stopped
she looked over at the brunettes face was in her hands..the colour was
drained from Ally's face as tears pricked her eyes..she thought she killed
someone..not just anyone..Katie...

"I'm sorry" Ally sniffed " I can't cook" she added causing the breathless
surgeon to laugh abruptly

"I thought I would impress you by cooking so you'd like me..I'm sorry" she
mumbled wiping her tears into a nearby tea towel she began crying
uncontrollably.

"Baby it's ok" Katie smiled as she stepped forward taking the crying
brunette in her arms

"No it's not" Ally whale holding her face on her hands as she continued to
cry

"Why" Katie questioned

"I had chilli's on the tea towel" Ally cried in pain keeping her eyes clamped
shut.

"Shiiiiiiiit" Katie said as she grabbed the brunette pulling her over to the
sink needing to wash out Ally's burning eyes as quickly as possible....

**
"Holy fuck" Rachel pissed herself laughing at the blushing brunette as Katie
finished the story of their first date..

"To my defence I did make it up to you" Ally defended herself

remembering how she spent 5000 delasi on flowers for Katie. The four of
them laughed and joked over dinner..Katie was impressed she had eaten
every single crumb on her plate..Ally had definitely scrubbed up on her
culinary skills.

"So how long are you in London for" Rach asked catching Katie a little off
guard

"I don't know yet, it depends" Katie replied

"Depends on what" Rach questioned as Shel gave the dreadlocked girl a

quick nudge and a shut the fuck up look.

"Who is for desert" Shel blurted out grabbing dirty the plates.

"Let me help" Katie offered as Shel ordered her to sit back down and have
more wine as she forced Rach to help leaving Ally and Katie sitting alone
opposite to one another..silence filled the room as both girls looked around
the spacious setting.

"So I see you still drink" Katie said instantly regretting her observation
judging by Ally's furrowed eyes brows.

"I have never had a problem with drink Katie" Ally said calmly surprising
Katie, the surgeon could have sworn Ally would normally kick off a fight
by now especially when it came to her alcohol intake.

"Sure I drank a lot in the past but I had my reasons to back then" Ally said
taking a swig of her beer. Katie was surprised how much her wife had
changed. All of Ally's bitterness was gone.

Katie knew how argumentative her wife was but this woman in front of
her..she was mature..no longer a sulky drunk who drank herself reckless
every night feeling sorry for herself. Katie knew Ally had no self pity for
herself anymore, she had grown the past year for the better as far as Katie
was concerned.

"Can I ask you something" Katie said taking a sip of her wine as Ally
nodded in agreement

"Do you think we rushed into things like after we first met, moving in
together and getting married" Katie asked she wanted to know now that
they weren't together did Ally regret it, regret them. Ally shook her head in
disagreement for a few seconds and she thought about her words.

"No" Ally replied

"Honestly Katie, marrying you was the best thing that ever happened to me,
I know I took advantage of that and I will never forgive myself for it but I
was the luckiest girl in the world" Ally smiled thinking back on their
marriage "you don't realise it until it's gone" she added taking a swig of her
beer. Katie had to admire Ally for her honestly

"Realise what" Katie asked she needed to hear Ally's words let Ally admit
she fucked up.

"How much I loved you, how much I lived for us, god Katie I blew the best
thing that ever happened to me, I loved you more than anything in the
world..you were my life..when I got back here I had to start a new life" Ally
said as she sighed remembering how heart broken she was when she first
moved into this flat

"Do you regret it" Katie asked as Ally's eyes connected with hers. Ally
knew exactly what Katie was asking about.

"Everyday" Ally whispered her eyes becoming glossy.

"I could never expect you to forgive me because I will never forgive myself
for it but I'm glad you are here" Ally added as she watched her words hit
Katie. Katie began to panic, all those feelings came flooding back. The hurt
and anger she knew after all these months the wound was still raw. How
could Ally sit here saying she was the best thing that ever happened to her
after everything. Tears pricked her eyes as she quickly stood up.

"I'm sorry, I have to go" she sniffed as worry washed over Ally.

"No wait, I'll drive you" Ally panicked as she stood up and followed her
wife towards the door

"No I'll tell the girls thanks for a wonderful evening, I'm tired I just want to
go home" Katie sniffed putting her jacket on as she left the flat. She
contained her anger inside the last thing she needed was Ally to push her to
say stuff she would regret.

"Katie" Ally called following Katie towards the stairs "Katie please..I'm
sorry" Ally pleaded as Katie quickly whipped her body around..the anger
and hatred back in those blue eyes Ally gulped.

"Sorry for what, for ruining my life" Katie cried as months of built up
frustration and anger was now being released.

"You fucked it all up Ally, I don't even know why I came back because you
mean nothing to me" Katie spat as her tears streamed down her face, she
breathed out watching Ally look at her sternly.

Ally knew she deserved this and more but it didn't mean it didn't hurt. It
hurt how everyday she had to live with ruining the best thing she had and
now Katie coming back into her life punishing her for something Ally was
already punishing herself for.

"I'm sorry" was all Ally could say as she backed up knowing this was
probably the final time she would ever see Katie. What else could she say,
nothing because nothing was going to change anything. She walked backed
into the flat slamming the door shut as Rach and Shel stood holding desert
and plates staring at her

"Where is Katie" Shel asked

"She is gone" Ally muttered as she headed straight for her room.
 Chapter 5

A week had passed before Ally seen Katie again..Ally thought after Katie's
ultimatum that that would be the last Ally would see of her wife. Katie's
words haunted Ally..she meant nothing to her when Katie meant everything
to Ally. Ally knew she needed to move on..she was never going to have her
old life back. A life she had no control over well now she had control over
her new one. She had spent the week working 9-5 hours out in the check in
area ensuring she stayed well clear of any operating theatre she couldn't
face seeing Katie. It was now a Friday evening when Ally was finishing up
for the week..the only good thing about covering Margaret's hours is that
Ally got the weekends off..she couldn't wait to go out tonight. Drink, dance
maybe even have a little flirt she was definitely going to get bladdered
tonight..she needed it after last weekend. She needed to let loose.

"Enjoy your weekend kiddo..I know I will" Tam wiggled her eye brows as
she passed Ally who was changing at her locker

"Oh yeh..anything exciting planned" Ally smiled placing her hoodie over
her head

"I've got me a hot date with the new hot surgeon" Tam replied a little too
excited for Ally's liking as Ally's heart sank deep in her chest..Tam was a
player..she was a short haired aneasthist nurse with lesbian written all over
her with her piercing and tattoos..Ally gave the short haired girl a quick
smile as she muttered a good bye and left the locker room. The last time she
had felt this much pain in her chest was when Katie gave her their divorce
papers. Sure Katie was single and had every right to do what she wanted but
was it really necessary that she went out with one of Ally's coworkers..Katie
was throwing this in Ally's face and it made Ally's blood boil..
"Ally" speak of the devil herself Katie jogged up to Ally slightly breathless,
her bright blue eyes staring into hers

"Hey" Katie said clearly a lot less angry than when they had last seen each
other.

" I wanted to apologise for last week" Katie said chewing the inside of her
cheek as Ally's stern face glared at her

"What I said" Katie sighed feeling guilt eat her up inside, she had wanted to
talk to Ally all week but she knew she needed to give them space. Give Ally
some head space about her coming to work in the same hospital

"It's fine" Ally said staring at Katie as her teeth gritted

"I've got to go" she mumbled stepping forward as Katie stepped to the side
blocking Ally's way.

"Al look I really didn't mean.." Katie trailed off as she was interrupted by
Tam calling her name as she came their way. Ally stared into Katie's eyes
full of sadness she wanted to beg Katie not to go out with Tam..beg her to
come home with her and give her another chance..tell her how much she
loved Katie and wanted to spend the rest of her life with her..but her heart
broke a little more now knowing Katie had moved on from their
marriage..it was over..they were over

"Al" Katie whispered as she seen how upset Ally was..she wanted to know
what had happened

"Enjoy your night" Ally smiled weakly as she brushed past Katie this time
Katie didn't stop her..Katie sighed as she watched the brunette walk away...

***

Katie glanced around the busy club as Tam went to get them drinks. They
had just went to an Angus steak house..Tam spoke mostly about herself
throughout dinner which Katie didn't really mind since she didn't have to
talk..she wasn't in the mood to be out tonight..All she could think about was
how guilty she felt for how things happened earlier with Ally. She tried to
apologise but then Tam coming a long she had clearly told Ally all about
their dinner plans..Tam had hounded Katie the past 3 days between
surgeries to go out with her..she finally agreed for her own sanity of hearing
Tam beg one more time..dinner and drinks she thought..why not it's not as
though she knew that many people in London. She thought it would be no
harm that was until she seen Ally's hurt face on the corridor after work.
Katie missed not seeing Ally all week..she had seen her a couple of times
ordering take out lunch from the staff canteen and then was gone..Katie had
never felt so torn about her feelings, at least in Gambia Katie thought at the
time she hated Ally so it was easy to be nasty to her wife. Now Katie felt
bad for turning up and turning Ally's life upside down.

"Here you go babe" Tam smirked handing Katie a cocktail.

"Thanks" Katie replied taking a sip she glanced around the busy gay club
she noticed a familiar face.

"I'll be right back" Katie shouted over the music handing Tam her drink she
quickly made her way over to those blonde dreadlocks she'd recognise
anywhere..Katie tapped on Rachel's shoulder who was sucking the face of a
girl she hoped was Shel

"Oh hey Katie" Shel chirped wiping her lip gloss from around her mouth

"Hi" Katie smiled looking around hoping Ally might be here too

"You girls out for the night" Katie asked making small talk she couldn't see
the brunette anywhere

"Yeh this is our local" Shel replied wrapping her arm around her girlfriend

"She's not here" Rachel muttered Katie who stopped looking around the
club

"Where is she" Katie asked over the loud music

"Look Katie..she told me everything and I don't blame you for being pissed
at her but you didn't need to come to London to do that" Rachel said as Shel
tugged at her girlfriend about her bluntness

"No Shel..she needs to here this" Rachel snapped at her girlfriend and
looked back at Katie

"She loves you Katie..she loves you so much that she signed those papers
for you to let you move on with your life and so could she but since you've
came back you are breaking her heart..she deserved it back in Gambia but
now she's trying to move on...so if you are going to divorce her..then do it"
Rachel warned Katie who appeared shocked to how Rach spoke to her..

"Don't come back here and fuck with her heart" Rachel snapped

"She fucked with mine" Katie snapped hating how she was being portrayed
as the bitch

"Yeh and she left you to it..she didn't flaunt a new relationship in front of
you" Rachel said as she pointed at Tam who was stood by the bar chatting
some young birds up as Katie rolled her eyes

"Where is she" Katie asked not wanting to speak with Rachel any longer it
was Ally she wanted to talk to

"Just leave Katie" Rachel said as she turned around to a gobsmacked Shel.
Katie hate the way Rach spoke to her..what gave Rachel the right to involve
herself in their marriage..a marriage no one was involved in..maybe Rach
was right..she was just hurting Ally by being here but she needed to see
Ally..she turned in her heels as she walked back towards Tam..maybe Ally
was at her flat..only one way to find out. Katie excused herself from her
"date" with Tam who didn't seen too bother as she continued to chat up two
blondes by the bar. As she pushed herself towards the exit she felt a slender
arm pull her back..

"She's in Brighton" Shel said giving Katie a sympathetic smile

"Thank you" Katie smiled giving Shel's hand a tight squeeze

"Look after her Katie..she means a lot to Rach and I" Shel warned a little
less threatening than Rachel.

"I will" Katie smiled to Shel and left the busy club. Katie made her way
quickly to London Victoria were she caught the last train to
Brighton..settling down in a seat she remembers train journey of the first
time Ally had brought her home to meet her family in Brighton...

********

"Oh god I'm so nervous" Katie squealed as she sat on the train heading
towards Brighton

"My family will love you" Ally purred as her nose nestled in her wife's neck
causing Katie's eyes to shut as she released a quiet moan

"Stop it babe" Katie warned allowing her fingers to trace under Ally's
top..Goosebumps appearing under her touch she giggled at her wife as the
flirted their whole way to Brighton. They had been married 10 months and
had finally gotten time off work for them both to go to Ally's hometown for a
two week holiday. They held hands as Ally pointed out different things as
they past by..Katie knew how much Ally was excited to come back to
England, she could sense apprehension when it came to Ally talking about
her mother..Katie didn't know much about that relationship but overall she
knew how much it meant to Ally that Katie came to meet all her friends and
family.

"What you thinking about" Ally asked her wife giving her a quick peck on
the cheek

"How I still can't believe that you are mine" Katie replied as she looked
down at Ally's left hand..Katie still got excited every time she looked down
at the white gold wedding band and engagement ring on Ally's finger..even
tho they were never engaged she insisted on buying Ally an expensive
diamond ring to show her love for her wife..she loved Ally wearing it..it
symbolised their love and how Ally was Katie's and no one else's
"Get used to it baby" Ally cooed as she captured Katie's lips in her own..her
tongue teased her wife's mouth as she bit down gently on Katie's lip..Ally
was feeling a bit mischievous...

"Let's go to the bathroom" Ally whispered as she let go of Katie's hand

letting her fingers now glide along the inside of her wife's thigh..

"Ally stop" A wide eyes Katie pushed the brunettes hand away from her as
she glanced around the train..they had caught an early train so luckily for
her only a few people were on the carriage and her wife had not got their
attention.

"Coooome on" Ally sulked as her hand found its way back over Katie's
skinny jeans

"Al we are on a train" Katie whispered as she move her sides brown locks
behind her ear

"Babe" Ally whispered in Katie's ear sending shivers down Katie's body she
hated..noooo loved how seductive Ally was

"What" Katie replied playfully acting annoyed..Ally's hot breath tickle her
ear as she felt Ally's tongue play with her ear sending her body on
overdrive..Ally knew exactly what to do to get her way..

"You drive me insane" Katie growled pulling her wife's mouth to hers giving
Ally a short passionate kiss. Ally smirked as leaned forward whispering
"follow me" against Katie's lips as she slowly got up..straddling her wife
briefly she ensured to grind her body against Katie's, she loved teasing
Katie, she made her way to the wheelchair accessible toilet at the end of the
carriage.

It was only a matter of seconds before Katie was now in the toilet with her
locked the door she pounced across the spacious toilet and lunged at her
wife pinning Ally to the wall as she attacked her mouth..Ally was so turned
on, she had never seen Katie so fucking sexy..so forward and pulling at her
clothes as Katie's tongue battled against her own..
"God you are so fucking sexy" Ally growled quickly pushing Katie back
towards the opposite wall..she dipped her hand under her wife's jeans..this
wasn't about kissing every inch of her wife's body or taking in Katie's
beauty..they were both here for one reason..to fuck each other. Katie
moaned as Ally inserted her fingers inside her

"You are so wet" Ally moaned feeling herself more and more turned on by
the second as her wife's body arched towards her touch..she began at a
steady pace as she lifted Katie's loose top upwards pulling her bra down
she reached down taking Katie's nipple in her mouth as she continued her
hand in a increasingly harder rhythm as Katie moaned loudly..

"Fuck me" Ally whispered as she let Katie's nipple go and kissed her wife
on her lips, Katie didn't need telling twice..she slipped her hand under
Ally's denim shorts. Ally moaned into Katie's mouth as Katie pushed her
fingers deep inside picking up a similar pace to her wives..they moaned into
each other mouths as they fucked each other at a hard and fast pace..Ally
knew her wife was close to coming as she felt her body clench around her
fingers

"I'm gonna come" Katie moaned as Ally's began sucking her neck feeling
her own muscles begging to contract

"Ally" Katie moaned as her head pushed back against the wall she felt her
orgasm ripple through her body, her wife's body mimicked her same actions
as Ally's captured Katie's lips moaning loudly into her mouth as they both
rode out their orgasms..Katie whimpered one last time as her body jerked
from the pleasure..removing her hand from Ally's short she wrapped her
arms around the brunette kissing a humming Ally's forehead

"I love you so much" Katie said staring into those chocolate brown eyes as
a huge smile crept on Ally's post sex face

"I love you too" Ally replied as she leaned forward kissing her wife once
again...

***
Katie was 20 minutes from Brighton when she decided to make a phone
called

"Hey Denny" she said as the younger girl answered her phoned

"Yeh it's me..listen I need you to pick me up I'll be at the train station in 20
minutes"

"Yesss Brighton" Katie rolled her eyes

"No she doesn't so keep you mouth shut and come pick me up..bye" Katie
said hanging up the phone..she looked down at the wedding band that rested
on her right hand taking it off she placed it on her wedding finger..it hung
loosely on her finger as she brought it to mouth making a fist..looking up at
the next station board it read destination...Brighton...what was she doing....
 Chapter 6

Katie smiled as she seen Denny waiting by her car at the train station.
Denise was Ally's younger sister. She was 22 now all grown up. Katie and
Denny had always gotten on so well, Denny had came out to Gambia and
stayed with Katie and Ally for a month one summer.

Katie loved the sisters relationship, they fought, cried, laughed and most of
all loved each other. Ally was good to Denny, she always looked out for her
little sister. When Denny dropped out of a business course in her first year
of college and said she wanted to do hairdressing, their parents were not
pleased and refused to fund Denny's fees Ally being Ally with her heart of
gold sent her younger sister more than enough to keep her little sister going
and now Denny was a qualified hair stylist and running her own little salon
in Brighton.

"What are you doing here" Denny squealed with a mixture of apprehension
and joy in her voice as she gave the American girl a tight squeeze.

"I'm looking for your sister" Katie replied as they broke apart, Denny
looked up at the dark haired girl.

"She's pretty upset" Denny said as Katie nodded, she knew Ally confided in
Denny.

"I know but it wasn't like that" Katie replied, she wasn't going into details
about it.

"I don't know if it's a good idea you coming here" Denny warned

"There's certain things that Ally has kept from Mum and Dad" she added as
a confused Katie opened the passenger door climbing in.
***

Ally was lying in her old bed upstairs while her parents watched telly down
in the living room. She hadn't spoken much to her parents since returning a
few hours ago, her mum of course snapping at her for not telling her she
was coming to stay.

Ally lied saying she had planned this a while back but must of forgotten to
tell her parents she was coming. The truth was she needed out of London,
her heart ached since she found out Katie was going out to dinner with Tam.
Ally wished she could just go out to a random club right now and pick some
random girl and fuck them, use them until she got Katie out of her head but
she couldn't do it.

Ally had told her close friends that tonight she was going to stay in and
catch up with her family. Four words had been muttered from her father
since dinner and that was only to change the channel to sports so Ally made
an excuse of being tired and went to her room.

She wished she was one of those girls who could sleep with anyone. She
had plenty of invitations over the past few months but her heart was never
in it, she had a couple of snogs here and there but she knew her heart was
back in Gambia where her life was.

Now she felt stupid, how many girls had Katie been with since they broke
up? Katie clearly didn't appear to have any problems with moving on from
Ally earlier when she was going on her big date. That was it Ally thought
she was going out tomorrow night with her friends and picking up the first
hottie she found.Lacey's was the club she spent many a drunken night
growing up in Brighton.

"Alison" her mother shouted up the stairs as Ally groaned, now what.

"What" Ally shouted as she huffed still lying in her old bed.

"Don't say what to me, get down here now" her Mother snapped.
"Bloody hell" Ally muttered as she pushed herself off her bed making her
way out of the room, stomping down the stairs in a t-shirt and tiny shorts
she opened the living room door stood in her living room was Katie who
had the biggest grin on her face. Shit shit shit Ally thought as panic rippled
through her, Ally's father Jim stared at her waiting for her reaction.

"Hi...erm..what you doing here" Ally smiled nervously hoping to god Katie
wasn't going to blow her cover.

"Well don't get too excited to see your wife babe" Katie chuckled as she
stepped forward and leaned in placing a kiss on Ally's cheek. Ally blushed
as Katie's arm slid around her waist. What the hell was this, Ally gulped as
her Mother came rushing in with her finest china she placed it on the coffee
table.

"I really wished you would have told me you two were coming Alison" her
Mother said pouring out tea. Ally's mum loved Katie, in fact if it wasn't for
Ally marrying the Surgeon she was sure her Mother would have disowned
her years ago.

Their relationship was icy ever since Ally came out as a lesbian to her
family at the age of 17. Her Mother always tried to set her up with different
friend's sons every now and then,

When Ally moved to Gambia she barely heard anything from her Mother
but as soon as her Mother got wind of her going out with Katie, a surgeon.
Julia was back talking to Ally every week on Skype. Ally knew it was false,
that her Mother was just a brag and wanted her children to turn out the best
but for Denny's sake, the brunette tried as hard as she could to be a part of
this family.

"Sorry Mrs. Harris I wanted to surprise Ally" Katie beamed as she leaned in
kissing Ally's cheek again.Ally's head was fuzzy from feeling those lips
against her skin for the second time in two minutes. What was Katie playing
at, her touch, her kisses they were driving Ally insane. Ally glanced over at
her younger sister who gave her two thumbs up with a huge grin on her
face. She should have known Denny had something to do with this.
"Please Katie call me Julia, We are well and truly family by now you know
that" Ally's mum smiled as she handed Katie the delicate cup full of tea.

"I'm just going to put something more appropriate on" Ally muttered as she
beckoned her sister to follow her. The brunette gave Katie a nervous smile
before breaking their bodies apart as she disappeared out the door. Upstairs
she threw on trackie bottoms and a hoodie while she paced the room until
Denny made a quiet appearance.

"What the fuck Den" Ally snapped as she stopped her pacing.

"Ally chill, she rang me saying to pick her up at the station what was I
suppose to do" Denny replied as she walked over sitting on her sisters bed.

"You could have told me so I could have sent her back on that train" Ally
shot back as she racked her slender fingers through chestnut hair. This was
bad, Katie being here was bad.

"Look I told her that Mum and Dad still thought you guys were married and
she was actually pretty cool with it after a couple of gasps" Denny replied
shrugging her shoulders.

"Oh god" Ally cringed into her hands. Katie probably thought she was some
freak for keeping their marriage going to her parents. The truth was Ally
couldn't bring herself to tell her parents that her marriage was over.

She would always say Katie was at work when Julia phoned her and
somehow had managed to get away with it..of course Katie was a Surgeon
and was very busy working and saving lives as Julie would say. Her
bedroom door opened as those piercing blues eyes gaped at her. Neither of
them said anything they just stared at one another as Denny was quick to
make an exit.

"Sort this mess out lesbos I'm done" Denny teased as she pulled Katie into
the room and towards her wife.

"Why are you here" Ally asked her heart sinking as her eyes roamed over
Katie's dress she had clearly made the effort for her date. Katie breathed out
a long deep breath as she racked her fingers through her long darkened
hair..truth be told she didn't know herself..

"Same reason why I'm in London I guess" she replied as she made her way
to sit on the bed, she flicked her feet out in front of her as she watched
Ally's eyes furrow.

"What does that even mean" Ally snapped, she was sick of not knowing
what was going in Katie's head. She was playing mind games and Ally
wanted out.

"I don't know" Katie shot back as their eyes remained locked. Ally had
never seen Katie look so lost, her eyes pleading with Ally to what? be nice?
try read her mind?

"Well if you don't know, what am I suppose to do" Ally snapped as she felt
her heart in her throat as her tears pricked her eyes. She needed to get what
she was feeling out in the open.

"I don't know what to do" Ally cried brushing her fingers across her cheek
wiping her tears away.

"I left because you hate me, my own wife hated me and now you follow me
to London telling me we are still married and you don't know why" she
snapped

"I don't need you coming here to show me what I'm missing how I messed
you and how you have moved on" Ally cried.

"I haven't" Katie mumbled wiping her own tears her eyes broke from Ally's.

"It was only dinner with Tam, she pestered me until I said yes" Katie replied
honestly she stood up as she step towards a tearful Ally. Ally knew Tam
well enough, she was very flirty and persistent, it didn't mean it didn't hurt
any less.

"I don't want you to cry" Katie sniffled back her tears as her fingers brushed
across Ally's dampened cheeks but the brunette continued to sob.
"Please" Katie begged, her heart ached seeing Ally this way. Katie had
spent months watching her Wife cry when their marriage broke up but this
was different. Ally seemed different, she wasn't a bitter drunk who felt sorry
for herself anymore. Katie knew she was hurting Ally and it was hurting her
seeing Ally like this.

"What do you want from me" Ally sniffed.

"Al" Katie sighed her hand cupping the brunettes cheek, god she missed
Ally so much. She missed their talks, their jokes, their secret glances they
used to give each other in theatre, their cuddles, their kisses and exploring
one another's body. She could never get enough of Ally.

"Can we just pretend for this weekend that we are back to normal, just me
and you with your family" Katie asked as Ally's eyes furrowed.

"Please, I know your parents don't know about our break up" Katie pleaded
with her eyes. She needed this, needed comfort from Ally. Maybe this could
help her figure out what she was doing her and how she felt.

Ally hesitated for a moment, her head was screwed up. She knew Katie was
confused and clearly had a lot going on in the pretty little head of hers and
it was all her fault so Ally had to at least try and be there for Katie..This was
the first time in the last year Katie actually wanted to spend time with her,
Ally nodded as she wiped the last of her tears away.

"Yeh" Katie nodded as a small smile crept on her face

"Yeh" Ally whispered smiling weakly at her wife.

"We should probably go back downstairs though" Ally sighed the thoughts
of spending another hour small talking with her Mother was making her
cringe but at least now she had her wife with her.

**

"Well that was painful" Ally sighed as she entered her room flicking on the
lights. Ally and Katie had just spent the last hour and a half listening to
Julia compliment Katie to the max, how beautiful she was and how lucky
Ally was to have such a wonderful smart Woman in her life. How Katie
changed so many lives by her line if work, Ally rolled her eyes as she
caught Katie sniggering at her. It really was just like before.

They felt comfortable sitting beside each other as they spent time with
Ally's family. Giving Ally's hand a quick squeeze, Ally nodded knowing
Katie was done here for the night, they quickly said their good nights and
headed up to Ally's room.

"You can have the bed" Ally said getting Katie some shorts and a t-shirt to
wear she handed them to the dark haired girl as she watched Katie's smile
fade slowly.

"And so can you" Katie mumbled giving Ally a quick smile, she brushed
past the brunette towards the en suite. Katie sighed as she stood in front of
mirror, she ran her fingers over her soft cheek. The warmth of her own skin
and the colour radiating she was starting to feel like herself again, even
though Ally was suffering downstairs, Katie couldn't help but feel a warm
smile the entire time she sat there next to Ally.

Their eyes locking every now and then, she knew how uncomfortable Ally
was being here with her Mother but one quick smile and Ally's face would
soften returning her smile before turning back to listen to Ally's mother rant
about the latest gossip around Brighton. Katie brushed her loose strands of
her darkened hair back off her face glancing at herself again in the mirror
she smiled shyly. She had butterflies in her stomach knowing Ally had
agreed to just forget about things for this weekend.

Katie wasn't sure what she wanted but she needed to try figure things out.
Being around Ally again was somehow a comfort, the past week in work
even though the pair hadn't spoken. It gave Katie comfort knowing that she
was here operating on some poor middle aged woman, Ally was only down
the corridor. Not exactly talking to her but she was still there if Katie
needed her.

Ally's presence lingered around the theatre with her name coming into
conversation between some of the nurses, Ally was clearly a popular nurse
here. Katie quickly changed as she went back out to the room she suddenly
felt nervous as Ally was sat up under the covers in her bed rubbing
moisturiser between her hands. It was like Katie had never left, Katie's heart
pounding against her chest she stood looking at her wife who quickly
looked up as their eyes locked.

"I can take the floor" Ally whispered, typical of the old Ally Katie thought
when they used to fight back in Gambia during their marriage it always
ended up both of them huffing and puffing before Ally would mumble sadly
about sleeping on the couch. Ally was always the one to let Katie have the
comfort of their bed, depending on the fight sometimes Katie would stop
her wife before she got out of the bed and bring her down against her body
where they mumbled their apologies and end up having hot make up sex or
if Katie was really mad she would let her wife leave her alone in their king
size bed. This always only about an hour without Ally before she would
make her way out to the couch and spoon her wife again mumbling their
apologies and again proceeding to have hot make up sex.

"No you goof" Katie laughed off as she walked around the bed lifting the
covers slightly her stomach tightening with nerves by the second.

"Don't call me that" Ally huffed as Katie laughed looking into the brunettes
sulky brown eyes. If there was anything in this world that Ally Harris didn't
like, it was flying and being called a goof. It made Katie laugh every time
she used to call her wife a goof, Ally would turn into a sulky child as soon
as the four letter word escape her lips. Ally could never say why she hated
the word it was just something Katie knew pissed her wife off. Getting a
death glare off the brunette Katie held her hands up in defeat as she settled
between the sheets.

"Ok" Katie smirked as Ally huffed fixing the sheets around her she shuffled
down to lie on her side facing Katie. This was weird Ally thought. A month
ago she thought she was a 26 year old divorcee moving back to London to
work and most likely end up a cat lady living within a 10 step radius of
Rach and Shel when she was older. Now her ex was back in town telling
her they were still married.
Katie was actually talking to her now like another human being with less
hate in her voice and now she was joking with her in her bed..who would of
thought aye?

"This is weird" Ally blurted out as Katie's smile faded slightly.

"I mean I keep thinking I'm going to wake up someday and the last few
weeks are a dream" Ally mumbled her head now buried against the pillow.

"I am glad you are here" she added blushing slightly. Katie shuffled down
the bed mirroring the brunettes body as her eyes remained on Ally's, she
puffed the pillow under her face. A month ago she would never have
thought she would actually see Ally again but she accepted the job and here
they were, she made a choice back in Gambia, now she just hoped it was
the right one.

"I'm glad I came, I think" Katie replied with slight hesitation.

"I don't know what's this is" she said flicking her finger back and forth the
small gap between them.

"Or what's going to happen" she added honestly "but I realised I needed to
come to London to see how I felt" Katie added.

"And how do you feel now" Ally asked curiously.

"Confused" Katie replied "I'm not over what you did Al, I don't know if I
ever will be" she added as Ally's face flinched slightly with her words.

"But I don't hate you, I could never hate you Ally..ever..can we just see how
things go for now..no more questions for now, let's just have fun this
weekend and we can worry about everything else another time" Katie said
as Ally's head nodded slowly.

"The girls can't wait to see you, including Beth" Ally said changing the
subject she wasn't going to push Katie at least she didn't hate her that was
something..right?
"Oh goddddd" Katie cringed as her palm slapped against her face
remembering how one of Ally's friends attached to Katie like a leech every
time they met. Ally found it hilarious how her extremely straight friend was
like putty around her wife.

Ally never felt jealous of either of them..she knew Katie would never cheat
on her and to be honest it made Ally laugh watching how awkward it made
Katie around Beth..Beth was like a little love sick puppy around the dark
haired girl.

"Do they know" Katie asked "about us I mean" she watched as Ally bit her
lip nervously

"Amy does" Ally sighed "I haven't been home much, I couldn't face telling
mum so I just kept quiet with everyone else..I will tell them though..soon"
Ally shuffled sleepily in her position.

"I guess you will be needing these then" Katie said as she pulled her neck
lace from under the t-shirt Ally had given her. A quiet gasp escaped Ally
mouth as she seen her engagement ring and wedding band dangle with
Katie's engagement ring against Katie's neck.

It made Ally's heart melt knowing Katie had kept them..she was sure the
way Ally had left things in Gambia that Katie would have pawned them or
burnt them to crisp. Katie removed her necklace allowing the rings to fall
into her hand she placed her own engagement ring onto her finger, her heart
racing she looked up to see Ally gulping watching her movements intently.

"Give me your hand" Katie whispered as Ally's eyes locked with her briefly
almost looking for reassurance Katie nodded with her approval as Ally
removed her hand from under her pillow..their fingers touching Katie
slipped the two rings along Ally's slender finger remembering back to the
happiest day of their lives.

****
"Oh Jesus I'm so nervous, what if I regret this" Ally exclaimed nervously
"no offence" she pointed at Katie who's eyes widened.

"Am I doing the right thing..are We doing the right thing..you could be an
axe murderer for all I know" Ally rambled as she paced the hotel room
Katie giggling at her girlfriends nervousness. Katie and Ally had been
together 6 months now and both of them head over heels in love with each
other..Ally had drunkenly told Katie how she couldn't wait to get married to
her and have lots of Kally's running around the place..yes Ally wanted to
call their first child a combination of their names which made Katie chuckle
every time Ally spoke of their future.

Sure they had only been together 6 months but Katie knew there was no one
else like Alison Harris..no one else made her heart race everyday and made
her feel so..alive and complete..time didn't matter when Katie was around
Ally, it was as though they lived in their own bubble..a soppy bubble at that
but when Ally had mentioned the M word Katie didn't want to run..she
wanted Ally to be her wife..she never wanted anything more in her life so
here they were in South Africa for the weekend Katie having booked a
surprise ceremony for them at the beach at sunset. She knew Ally loved her
just as much as she loved the brunette and it made her smile warmly as she
watched Ally panic.

"This isn't funny" Ally snapped.

"Are you an axe murderer" she asked suspiciously as she stopped pacing.
Katie stepped forward taking Ally's hips between her hands as Ally's arms
instantly wrapped around her shoulders..

"I may chop people's limbs off but I'm not an axe murderer" Katie replied
smiling at a slightly calmer Ally.

"I love you so much Ally it scares me" Katie said as Ally nodded in
agreement

"If this isn't for you..it's cool babe..we can enjoy the rest of the weekend and
go home" Katie continued as she pulled her girlfriend closer.
"I don't need a certificate to tell me how much I love you and how lucky I
am, I wake up every morning knowing it" she added honestly as Ally
suddenly burst into a fit of giggles. Katie's eyes furrowed as she dropped
her grip from the brunette.

"I'm sorry" Ally continued to laugh as she held her hand over her mouth she
regained her breath "Katie Jessica Thomas but that was the most cringey
thing I've ever heard" she laughed as Katie's face hardened. Ally's nerves
had washed away of course this was what she wanted..she loved Katie more
than any of her previous relationships. This was it she thought..this was her
life..Katie was her life from now on.

"You know you're starting to make me have seconds thoughts too" Katie
mumbled clearly upset by her girlfriends reaction to her honest..Ally pushed
her bottom lip out as she stepped forward now her taking her girlfriend in
her arms as she placed a chaste kiss on Katie's lips, leaning their foreheads
together.

"I can't wait to marry you" Ally whispered as Katie's face softened. Placing
another kiss on her wife to be lips Ally's turned Katie around smacking her
arse towards the door

"Go before I change my mind" Ally joked as Katie's head glanced behind
giving her girlfriend a quick cheeky grin

"I'll see you at 6" Katie confirmed opening the hotel room to make her way
to her own room to get ready.

"If I'm not there by 5 past you know I've done a Julia Roberts on you" Ally
teased as Katie shot her an evil glare before shutting the door..Ally squealed
to herself..she was getting married..

**

"I call upon these persons here present to witness that, I Katie Jessica
Thomas do take thee Alison Jane Harris to be my lawful wedded wife. I
promise to care for you, to give you my love and friendship and to respect
you and cherish you throughout the rest of our lives together" Katie said as
she grasped a nervous looking brunette hand..they were stood near a shore
of the Sandy bay in Cape Town. The sun was setting on the cool evening as
they she held her wife to be's hand, with a minster and two locals they had
paid to witness their marriage.

"And you Alison repeat after me" the grey haired man said as Ally gave
Katie a quick smile taking a deep breath..here goes nothing she thought..

"I call upon these persons here present to witness that, I Alison Jane Harris
do take thee Katie Jessica Thomas to be my lawful wedded wife. I promise
to care for you, to give you my love and friendship and to respect you and
cherish you throughout the rest of our lives together" she grinned as she bit
down gently on her lips..she zoned out as he began to speak again..she
couldn't wait to ring Denny and Amy to tell them she was married, she
couldn't wait to bring her wife back to their hotel and make love to her as
wife and wife. She loved the idea of calling Katie her wife...

"This ring is a symbol of our love. Wear it always as a reminder of my

promise to you today" Katie said pausing as she chewed the inside of her
cheek her shaking hand taking the ring as she held Ally's left hand allowing
the ring to glide along her slender finger until it rested on Ally's finger.

"This ring is a symbol of our love. Wear it always as a reminder of my

promise to you today" Ally said as her eyes remained locked with Katie's
bright blue eyes she slipped the white gold ring over Katie's finger as it
rested snuggly on her finger..this was it..life could not get better than
this..little did Ally know she was going to break this promise and break her
wife's heart.

Thanks for reading :-) X

 Chapter 7

"Jesus Al slow down" Katie panted as she watched the brunette disappear
further up the pier.

They had gone straight to sleep last night after exchanging rings
again..Katie knew it was a bit awkward considering they weren't actually
together but she wanted this weekend to just relax and let them enjoy them
selves just let it be like old times, no dramas or fights.

Ally had been up at the crack of dawn, normally she was a bed hogger but
when she woke up this morning with Katie's arm rested across her hip bone
no way could she sleep..she laid there for an hour just trying to reduce her
speeding heart beat.

She smiled to herself watching Katie sleep so peacefully beside her.

Eventually stirring in her sleep Ally pretended to only wake as they each
had a warm smile and Katie mumbled an apology taking her hand back to
her chest.

Ally said she was going for a run and was more than surprised when Katie
said she would come to..Katie was never into fitness even if she was a
surgeon. She ate and drank what she wanted as she inherited her mothers
slender figure.

Katie gasped as she finally caught up with Ally who stood in her leggings
and oversized grey hoodie.

"Bloody hell" Katie mumbled as Ally glanced at her laughing how the
American had picked up her lingo when they first got together, it always
made her smile.
"God I actually missed this place" Ally hummed looking out at the wintery
sun glistening against the calm water.

"You think you will move back" Katie asked as she looked out to the sea,
Ally didn't reply she just shrugged her shoulders.

"It's not really home anymore" Ally eventually replied as she caught Katie's
attention

"Then where is" Katie asked as Ally's brown eyes stared into her own. Ally
shrugged her shoulders again, home was where her heart was Ally always
thought growing up, sure she had a normal up bringing but she always felt
something was missing.

She always knew that there was more to just drinking vodka from a coke
bottle on the pier every Friday night with her best friends, there was more to
just living in some 3 bedroom house around the corner from her mum and
dad when she was older. She knew Brighton could never be her home and
she finalised that decision when she moved to Gambia.

"So what do you want to do today" Ally asked as Katie frowned with the
sudden subject change. Katie knew Ally was being closed up.Ally was
always one to push for answers, before they split up she had pined for Katie
telling her she loved her always and forever but not once since Katie had
came to London had Ally opened up about her own feelings..both of them
were as confused and closed up as each other.

"Whatever you like" Katie said as Ally smiled breaking eye contact and
looking out to the calm sea once again...

"Allllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy" Amy squealed at her friend as the blonde girl

pounced on the brunette when Ally and Katie entered Lacey's.

"Hiya babe" Ally squealed back as Katie's heart sank hearing the brunette
saying babe, that was her word. Ally only called her babe, she knew she
was overreacting. Ally and Amy were friends since they were 5 but it still
made her body react subconsciously. The two women giggled as they
hugged and kissed each other.

"Katie" Amy smiled sympathetically as she brought Katie to her chest

giving her a warm hug. Katie knew Amy was the only one who knew about
their split, she could sense Amy's heart felt hug was genuine.

They stood greeting each other as a few of Ally's old friends made an
appearance. After a few minutes of chatting with the girls Katie felt a warm
hand against her arm as Ally leaned forward.

"You want a drink, I'll go to the bar" Ally asked keeping her hand against
Katie's skin both girls could feel the electricity between them.

"I'll come with you" she smiled as the brunette nodded and walked towards
the busy bar.

Katie ordered a vodka and coke as Ally ordered a water handing over a 10
pound note.

"Water" Katie asked raising an eye brow. As Ally nodded

"I want to remember this night" she said with a slight smirk, Katie frowned
slightly as she gave a quick nod turning to around the club.Truth was Ally
did, this was probably going to be the last night Ally would get the
opportunity to be out with Katie before they headed back to London and
what continued a professional relationship in work?she wanted to enjoy
Katie's company with a clear head.

The night flew by as Katie began to relax after a few shots and drinks..true
to her word Ally stayed away from the booze. The brunette caught up with
all her friends including Beth who had now spent the last half an hour
ogling over Katie.

Amused from two tables down Ally laughed every time Katie had shot her a
get the fuck over here and save me look, enough was enough Ally thought
as she excused herself from some of the girls.
"Hi baby" Ally said confidently snaking her arm around Katie's waist and
allowing it to rest comfortably on her bum causing Katie to cough slightly
as she sipped her drink. Her stomach fluttered to what Ally had called her
and the fact Ally's hand was rested on her ass.

"You two are so cute" Beth squealed clapping her hands together.

"She's a keeper this one" Beth added allowing her hand to glide down the
length of Katie's exposed arm giving Katie the creeps. Katie's body
instantly moving closer in to Ally's touch. Ally could sense Katie
apprehension.

"Do you mind if I take my wife for a dance" Ally said to Beth who snatched
her hand back and wavered them off. Ally grinned to Beth as she slipped
Katie's hand in her own walking them between the crowd.

"You bitch" Katie snapped hitting Ally's shoulder as they turned to face
each other between the crowd that danced to the music. Ally shot her head
back as a loud giddy laughter escaped her mouth. Katie folded her arms
across her chest clearly pissed at Ally's amusement.

"Come on dance with me" Ally said a little too flirtatiously. She had
suddenly found confidence in herself to "pretend" for the weekend they
were still together, if this was her opportunity to be close to Katie she
wasn't going to let it pass by.

Katie's head was a muddle, they had spent the whole day together walking
around the shops, chatting and laughing about everything and anything. As
soon as Ally got ready for tonight Katie's eyes widened as she gulped
instantly feeling an attraction as Ally wore tight jeans with heels and a
cleavage revealing red top.

Katie couldn't help how she was feeling despite everything it didn't change
the fact that Ally was definitely to most fuckable woman in this club. Ally
smirked as she began to dance around her, shaking her hips ridiculously to
encourage Katie to lighten up and dance with her.
"Come on" Ally shouted over the music she continued to dance earning a
few nods from boys around her, ignoring their attention there was only one
person Ally wanted to dance with her. Ally pouted as she continued to
dance, Katie began to smirk playfully as Ally grinned grabbing Katie's two
arms to unfold them as she clasped their fingers together they began to
dance.

They continued to dance for a few songs, the crowd growing forcing them
to dance closer to one another, Katie placed her hand on Ally's hips partly to
keep her up with the effects of the alcohol she consumed earlier hitting her
blood stream and partly because she wanted the closeness to Ally.

"I'm really glad you came this weekend" Ally said close to Katie's ear as her
stomach fluttered. Katie knew nothing had changed this week and looking
into Ally's eyes she could sense Ally knew it to but they were getting
somewhere. Katie was beginning to enjoy being around Ally again.

"I'll be right back" Ally said as she pointed towards the toilet "don't go
anywhere" she winked taking Katie's hand in her own she gave it a quick
squeeze and pushed her way through the crowd leaving Katie to dance.

Ally stopped to chat to Amy on her way back from the toilet, she genuinely
was having a good night despite being surrounded by drunks, tonight was
the first night she had gotten the sense of the old Katie back,laughing and
dancing. It was the first time in months she was actually enjoying a night
out without having to drink a gallon of cocktails.

"Babe" Amy said looking at Ally who was texting Denny to meet them at 3
outside the club to share a taxi. Ally smiled as she glanced at her friend
who's face was stern.

"What" she laughed as Amy almost winced as she pointed towards the
dance floor where Ally's eyes followed. Katie was grinding against some
blonde who's hands were firmly on Katie's thighs roaming slightly under
Katie's purple dress.Ally watched on as her stomach knotted before she
could move Katie was being twirled around as the girls lips were on hers..

***
"Ally" Katie sighed as she closed the front door and placed her keys on the
table.

"Don't" Ally spat back as she stomped her way through their apartment
disappearing into the kitchen.

"She was only flirting" Katie mumbled instantly regretting it as the brunette
came charging back into the sitting room where Katie stood.

"Don't defend that slut" Ally snapped swaying as she held a bottle of
opened orange juice.

"Al...you know Lynne is a player..it's comes natural to her that she flirts
with any woman she sees" Katie sighed removing her heels referring to a
recently new surgeon who had started at the hospital...Ally had instantly
taken a disliking to the redhead girl mainly because she was a lesbian and
flirted bluntly with her wife at any opportunity she got..she was stunning of
course Ally had a reason to kick off.

Lynne who hauled from South Africa strangely had the longest reddy brown
hair Ally had ever seen, her tanned complexion complimented her hazel
eyes..she was beautiful but also extremely arrogant and cocky when it came
to women. Katie would laugh off Lynne's effort to woo her..of course she
wasn't bad looking but Katie only had eyes for her wife she just wished Ally
would see it..Katie secretly loved how jealous Ally had gotten since Lynne
had started working with them.

It was a turn on how protective and possessive Ally was but tonight at the
staff due Katie knew Lynne's touches here and there were sending Ally over
the edge, they ended up leaving half way through the night.

"Not when it's my wife" Ally snapped as Katie felt moist between her
legs...god Ally was so hot when she angry..even though they had been
married over a year now hearing Ally calling her her wife always put a
smile on her face.

"Get that smile off your face" Ally snapped returning to the kitchen.
"What did I do" Katie shot back as she waited for her wife to come back out
only seconds later.

"You let her touch your arm and were like oh Lynne you are so funny blah
blah blah...I HATE HER" Ally shouted as she began unzipping her dress
walking towards their bedroom her wife following swiftly.

"Babe..she was only being friendly" Katie sighed as stepped towards Ally
who now had her back to her as she stepped out of her dress. Once Katie's
lips pressed against her shoulder Ally snapped around.

"Not tonight sweetheart" she snapped sarcastically as she stepped around

her wife grabbing a tshirt and pillow she slammed their bedroom door shut.

After venting to Amy via whats app for 15 minutes..Ally settled down on the
sofa as she pulled a blanket over her legs..she was furious over Lynne..she
knew her and Katie were married yet she still persisted to try get Katie into
her bed. Ally knew Katie was a softy at heart and would never want to have
confrontation with anyone, she would always be polite to Lynne and step
away from awkward situations but tonight in front of Ally she just smiled
awkwardly while Lynne's hand was on her arm or back as she flirted with
Katie while Ally was across the room. Ally began to nod off..she would wait
until tomorrow to talk things through with Katie right now she was angry
and tired.

"Babe" Katie whispered as she straddle her wife who was fast asleep on the
sofa. It was an hour since Ally had stormed out of the room. Katie never
slept without her wife and tonight was no different. Ally groaned in her
sleep as Katie shook her shoulders gently. Leaning down Katie placing light
kisses against Ally's neck.

Ally breathing began to deepen as Katie's lips kissed along her neck, it
wasn't long before small moans escaped Ally lips as her lazy eyes flickered
open staring into Katie's blue eyes. Katie leaned back as she reached and
pinned Ally's arms above her head..after staring into her wife's eyes intently
for a moment, Katie brought her left hand between her and Ally as she
remained in a straddling position.
"What does this mean to you" Katie asked seriously as she glared down at
her wife holding her wedding finger in front of Ally...Ally rolled her eyes as
she shut them again not in the mood for a conversation..it was either sex or
sleep tonight.

"Alison" Katie snapped poking the brunettes shoulder causing Ally's eyes to
dart open.

"I said what does this mean to you..answer me honestly" her stern voice
now softer as she pleaded with her wife. Ally sighed as she reached up
entwining her own wedding finger with Katie's as the rings brushed against
each..she breathed out a long deep breath as her eyes glanced back to
Katie's.

"Everything" Ally replied as her voice softened keeping their fingers

entwined.

"So why should you think differently of me" Katie replied almost hurt
behind does blue eyes.

"I love you...not Lynne..she means nothing to me but you, you are my
everything babe" Katie spoke honestly as a small smile crept across Ally's
face.

Ally realised she was in the wrong for kicking off at her wife..of course
Lynne was a nasty tramp who wanted her wife but it didn't mean Katie felt
the same, Ally did trust her wife she just sometimes let her anger strengthen
her insecurities.

"I'm sorry" Ally mumbled as she broke their contact and placed her two
hands on her wife's hips. Katie bit her lip, even the slightest touch of Ally's
finger tips brushing against her skin at the hem of her top she sighed
contently as her eyes closed.

Ally sat up keeping her wife against her waist she began placing delicate
kisses along Katie's neck
"I love you so much" She mumbled between kisses as Katie moaned feeling
Ally's pull her tshirt over her head, Katie raised her arms allowing it to
drop on the bed beside her. Placing her lips back on her wife's soft skin,
Ally kissed her way to Katie's erect nipple taking it between her lips. Katie
groaned as her hands became lost in Ally's dark hair.

"Fuck" she moaned as Ally sucked her nipple hard releasing it Ally leaned
forward pushing Katie back until her back collided with the other end of the
couch, Ally was now on top of her wife..kissing and nipping Katie's
stomach. Katie groaned as she felt the wetness between her legs increase.
she needed Ally's tongue inside her.

"Please" Katie moaned as Ally's tongue traced over her hip bone, biting
down hard against her skin the pain was making Katie even more turned on.
Ally's teeth tightened around her wife's underwear, yanking her head
downwards as the skimpy material came with her teeth.

Katie's breathing hitched as the cool air met her wetness. Ally's lips pressed
against the inside of her wife's thigh allowing her tongue to trail up until it
met Katie's wetness.

"Uhh babe" Katie's whimpered almost as the pleasure of Ally's tongue

between her legs caused her body to arch. Ally smirked as her tongue
brushed against Katie's throbbing clit, she loved hearing her wife moan
under her touch. Katie's body arched into Ally's mouth as her tongue dipped
in and out of Katie causing Katie to groan loudly.

"I need you" Katie gasped as she knew it wouldn't take her long before she
would come. Ally drew circles over her clit before kissing her way up
Katie's body, Katie attacked her wife's lips. Pulling Ally's top swiftly over
her head.

"You are so fucking hot" Katie gasped crashing their lips together as Ally's
naked body pressed against hers. It didn't take long for Ally to slip her
fingers between Katie's wetness feeling Katie's body arch once again to her
touch.
The tips of her fingers brushing vigorously over Katie's sensitive clit, Katie
moaned to every touch. Knowing her wife was close to coming, Ally's
pushed her fingers inside of Katie working them at a rough fast pace.

"You are mine" Ally said breathless as their mouths inches apart both
breathless as Ally pumped in and out of her groaning wife. Katie began to
moan loudly as her body rocked against her wife's touch.

"Ally" she moaned as her muscles began to contract Ally continued to fuck
her roughly. Katie's nails dug deep into her wife's shoulders, her head flat
against the couch, the brunettes lips rested on Katie's shoulder.

"Uhhhhh Al" Katie moaned as a rush of pleasure rippled through her

causing Ally to bite down on Katie's shoulder trying to suppress her own
pleasure. Katie clenched around her touch as she moaned out her climax,
Katie's body shuddered and soon became limp as Ally's movement came to
a halt. The brunette remained on top of her wife as she placed a lingering
kiss on Katie's lips watching her eyes open lazily.

"You are still in me..fuck" Katie mumbled as she capture her wife's lips
again instantly deepening the kiss. Ally shifted her body as she lay flat
couch,pulling a blanket over her and her humming wife beside who
snuggled into Ally's body as Katie remained hazy from her orgasm. Ally
kissed the top of her wife's head as her eyes became lazy..their fingers
entwined..Katie was definitely Ally's and no one else's...

***

Katie felt nauseous as an unfamiliar tongue flicked over her own. She
opened her eyes as she froze in shock. Some blonde girl was ramming her
tongue down her throat. Katie groaned as she pushed the stranger back
gasping for air.

"What the fuck" Katie snapped wiping the saliva from her mouth as the
blonde smirked at her.

"What you were enjoying that" the blonde said stepping closer causing
Katie to step back even further.
"I thought you were someone else..Jesus" Katie mumbled as she brushed
back her messy hair..the alcohol had full effect on her now, she gave blonde
one last glare as she made her way back to the table to find Ally.

Katie made her way over to where Amy was stood watching her as Katie
approached the table.

"Have you seen Ally" Katie asked trying to ignore the taste of stale alcohol
that bimbo had tasted of.

"She's outside waiting with Denny, you should go" Amy replied with no
sense of sympathy or warmth like she had been earlier in the night.

"What's the rush we are having a good time" Katie smiled trying her hardest
to ignore what had happened moments ago.

"I mean you should leave England" Amy sighed.

"I know she's a knob head for what she done but she doesn't need to come
here and see you shoving your tongue down some tramps mouth" Amy
added, both gasping at what she had said. Amy was a quiet pleasant girl
who was just looking out for her friend while Katie walked away wide
eyed. Shit Ally had seen what had happened.

Katie sighed as she made her way out of the club. She chewed the inside of
her cheek on the way out, even though they weren't together she felt awful
for what had happened like she had cheated. Approaching the two sisters
she had noticed a drunk Denny and some poor fella against a wall. Ally
noticed Katie was coming and quickly flagged down a taxi hopping straight
in.

They sat in silence the whole way back to Ally's mum and dads
house..Denny and the Boy had hopped out of the car thanking her sister for
pay before sneaking the boy into her house. Ally was next to exit the car
with Katie not long after her.

"Al" Katie sighed as the brunette turned around her facial expression
remained blank.
"That girl..that was a mistake..I'm drunk and I didn't even know what was
happening" Katie said as Ally's eyes remained blank.

"I'm getting the 10 o'clock train back to London tomorrow we should get
some sleep" Ally said allowing a small timid smile appear on her face as
she quickly turned back and headed into the house.

Katie got herself ready for bed as she laid in Ally's old bed alone..Ally still
hadn't came up from downstairs when they got in..thinking the whole night
over in her head, Katie enjoyed meeting up with Ally's friends, feeling a
sense of her old life back but what happened out on the dance floor was a
mistake.

Katie was so caught up in her time with Ally she was sure it was Ally's
body pressed behind she danced to the music, she was sure it was Ally who
twirled her around and kissed her passionately..
 Chapter 8

"Morning" Katie greeted her staff as she made her way over to her
unconscious patient. Everyone responded with a polite hello except one
person, one person who had ignored her for the past week since they
returned from Brighton.

Katie still felt nauseous remembering she had kissed some random blonde
at the club last week. The way Ally had suddenly closed up again and didn't
speak another word of that night to Katie, in fact she didn't speak at all to
her.

Katie wanted to explain but she knew Ally being as stubborn as she is that
she needed to give Ally space and time to calm down but here Ally was in
Katie's surgery about to assist her operating. The staff busied around as Ally
counted the instruments. A true pro now she could name them off in her
sleep compared to when Katie had first had the brunette in one of her
surgeries.

"Ok everyone ready for time out" Katie pronounced as marked her patients
neck for her incision line.

"Yes" echoed in agreement as Katie's eyes were firm on a silent Ally.

"Alison" Katie said sternly sure Ally could be in a piss with her outside of
work but once anyone walks into her operating room she expects full
respect from the staff.

"Yeh ready" Ally mumbled under her mask as her eyes diverted back down
to her busy hands.

"We have Mr. Thomas James, DOB 23/07/1949, NKDA, Hospital number
is 2354678, he is here for a carotid endarectomy of the left carotid artery
with 78% stenosis" Sarah the floating nurse confirmed.

"Any concerns on your part Dr. Hussan" Katie asked as she turned to face
the Anaesthetist who glanced over the patient and monitor.

"No concerns Ms. Thomas" he confirmed giving the Surgeon a thumbs up.

"Any concerns with our Nurses regarding Mr. James" Katie asked glancing
around the room as Sarah shook her head and said no concerns. Katie
looked at Ally who seemed disinterested in even being there.

"Alison" Katie snapped as the brunette glared at her.

"You heard Sarah didn't you, no concerns" she replied dryly as rage filled
Katie's veins..no one spoke to her like that in her operating theatre.

"Sarah scrub in" Katie ordered as Sarah stared at her confused.

"But Ms. Thomas Al.."

"I said scrub in" Katie snapped as the pale Nurse nodded her head
nervously and turned to quickly get ready.

"You can't do that" Ally snapped knowing well Katie was being
unreasonable.

"Watch me" Katie replied breaking eye contact as she asked Dr. Hussan if
the patient vitals were ok for a slight delay who nodded back with no
concerns.

"Fuck this" Ally muttered as she stepped back ripping her scrub suit off and
headed for the door.

"Ally where do you think you are going" Katie snapped but the brunette
was already out the door before she could get a reply.

"Five minutes and We will commence" Katie confirmed to her a stunned

looking operating staff who gave her a nervous nod before pretending to be
busy again. Katie stepped back from her patient as she whipped off her
scrub suit as lowered her mask to her neck as she headed the direction of
Ally. Stomping down the long corridor she noticed Ally storming off
towards the nurses' station, Katie quicken up her pace.

"Ally" Katie shouted as she watched the brunette walk into her managers
opened door office.

"I don't want to work in vascular anymore" Ally blurted out as Sandra
looked up between her glasses as Ally stood with her hand on her hips
followed by an angry looking Katie who stood at the door.

"She demoted me to floating nurse, I was scrubbed in" Ally added as Katie
laughed as her wife's choice of words. Demoted, really. Ally turned to give
the laughing surgeon a glare and then snapped her head back to face a
confused looking Sandra.

"She has no respect for superiors" Katie said calmly as Ally shot her
another look

"Superiors" Ally mocked "Who the fuck says that" she muttered as Katie
and Sandra snapped her name in unionisation.

"Ms. Thomas, I'm sorry for any inconvenience Alison had troubled you
with, I can assure it will not happen again and I will get a replacement
Nurse right away" Sandra apologised as she stood up from her desk.

"I don't want another Nurse" Katie replied.

"She's one of the best but she just needs to respect that work is work" Katie
added directing it at Ally who refused to turn around and look at Katie. Ally
knew she shouldn't have taken her anger or hurt out on her work or how she
acted but she was still aching inside after what she had witnessed in Lacey's
last week.

Sandra could sense something more than just a silly disagreement in the
operating room was going on between the pair..Ally was near tears and
Katie was stood behind her almost pleading with Ally to turn around to look
at her.
"Like I said Ms. Thomas I will get a replacement right away" Sandra smiled
sympathetically at the surgeon as she approached her ushering her gently
out the door. Sandra closed her office door one Katie had reluctantly made
her way back up the corridor.

"Ally" Sandra said as she watched her nurse burst into tears keeping her
back to her boss. Ally couldn't be around Katie anymore.

***

Katie winced as she blocked the light from her sensitive eyes. The
humiliation of the night before all came rushing back as her arm stretched
across the empty cold space beside her. Ally barely spoke to her. Ally had
clearly seen her kiss the random blonde last night in Lacey's.

Katie sighed..her head was so muddled up, she had thought it was Ally who
wrapped her arms around her waist last night and kissed her and deep
down Katie secretly wished it was Ally.

Although Katie still needed time to think about her future with or without
Ally, last night she was sure she wanted Ally. Katie checked her phone, it
was half nine.

"Shit" she cursed quickly grabbing some clothes from Ally's wardrobe and
dashing downstairs. Julia and Jim were sat at the breakfast table as a rough
looking Denny hugged a mug of tea.

"Morning sweetie" Julia's smile beamed.

"Come on sit down..plenty of sausages to go around" Jim declared jamming

his fork forcefully into the sausage on his plate. Katie's stomach churned as
she gripped it tightly allowing her nausea to settled before she replied.

"No thank you" she smiled weakly.

"It's a shame you just missed Alison, she is only gone 10 minutes to get the
train..pity she was on- call this weekend" Julia added as she ate her
breakfast.
"Den can I get a lift to the station" Katie asked the younger girl who
groaned into her mug.

"Oh Katie stay..just because Alison is gone, you are more than welcome to
stay for dinner later" Julia smiled.

"Sorry Mrs. Harris I should really get back too" Katie replied as she
beckoned Denny towards the door. Denny huffed and puffed as she went to
get ready while Katie said a short and sweet goodbye to her in-laws.

Katie rushed into the train station quickly as the 10 o'clock train was
leaving in 3 minutes, she quickly bought her ticket and made her way to the
platform where she searched for the brunette.

Looking into every window she passed in search of Ally she smiled 3
carriages down as she seen Ally studying a magazine as she sat alone in
one of the seats. Katie quickly hopped on to the train as her heart began to
race.

"Hey" Katie said quietly as she slid into the seat opposite Ally who didn't
even glance up from her magazine.

"Ally" Katie said trying to get the brunettes attention. Katie reached her
hand across brushing it against Ally's who quickly retracted her hand as
though she had been burnt.

"What" Ally snapped keeping her voice down knowing there were a few
stray of people on the carriage.

"Can we talk" Katie asked as Ally shook her head confused.

"About what" Ally replied coldly.

"About last night" Katie replied as she noticed Ally's eyes wince slightly
battling not to show her hurt but Katie knew her wife too well.

"There's nothing to talk about" Ally replied coldly bringing her attention
back to her trashy magazine.
"Ally please" Katie whined almost, she needed to explain.

"Katie just leave it, there's nothing to talk about" Ally warned allowing her
eyes to glance up from her magazine briefly before dropping them back to
the gossip in front of her.

"Fuck sake Ally" Katie snapped she hated how stubborn Ally could be. Ally
snapped her magazine shut as she picked up her bag and slide out of the
seat, Katie watched silently as Ally walked to the moving carriage and
placed herself in another free seat away from Katie. Katie cursed herself as
she folded her arms and sulked the whole way back to London.

"Ally how long you going to keep this up" Katie rushed behind her wife who
raced quickly through the underground station towards the Northern Line.

"Katie just go home" Ally sighed as she took a sharp right and reached the
track she stood among the crowd.

"Ally last night was a mistake, come on you have to believe me" Katie
pleaded she didn't care who heard her she needed to talk to Ally.

"Katie, I can't do this, yeh you are confused but you are hurting me more
than anything" Ally mumbled trying her hardest to keep herself together.

"I've learnt to deal with being the bitch that broke up our marriage and
maybe someday move on in the future but I can't deal with you coming back
and proving you have in front of me..I get it ok" Ally gulped her eyes
becoming glossy she could hear her train coming.

"Ally" Katie mumbled "It's not like that" she added

"I need space Katie..proper space" Ally warned giving Katie one last look
as she got onto the busy train, Katie stood unable to move..she had really
fucked things up now.

***
"Jesus Christ girl you kept that quiet" Sandra said as she handed the
sobbing nurse a box of tissues.

"Am I in trouble" Ally mumbled as she blew her nose, Sandra gave her a
sweet sympathetic smile..Sandra had never seen Ally so vulnerable before.

In all the months she had gotten to know the brunette, she always knew
Alison Harris as a young feisty nurse who was passionate and outspoken
about her job, now she could see a heartbroken woman who was in love
with her wife..ex wife or whatever they were.

"No" Sandra shook her head "But you need to keep your personal life
personal Ally" she added patting Ally on the shoulder as Ally sniffed and
nodded her head.

Katie was still angry after Ally's outburst that morning, she had successfully
gotten through two surgeries and was finally finished for the day. She had
kept an eye out for Ally whilst on the corridors but she was nowhere to be
seen.

"Ms. Thomas" Sandra called out as Katie stopped and allowed the short
woman approach her.

"Katie please" Katie said, she didn't like being called Ms. Thomas.

"Katie" Sandra agreed "I just want to apologise on behalf of my staff again,
I can assure you it will not happen again"

"You didn't suspend Ally did you" Katie asked she didn't need another
reason to feel guilty for coming to London.

"No" Sandra replied shaking her head "Alison explained her..your situation
and I informed her that she needed to keep her personal matters outside of
working hours" Sandra added as Katie's eye brows furrowed.

"She did what" Katie snapped, there was no way she wanted any of the staff
here knowing anything about her personal life especially not the Nursing
Manager.
"Look you need to sort this out with Alison's in your own personal time but
until then I have to respect Alison's wishes and not have her in any of your
surgeries for the foreseeable future" Sandra said as Katie's eyes bulged with
anger.

How dare Ally refuse to work with her, she wouldn't even give Katie the
opportunity to explain things and here she was telling her boss all her
troubles.

"Where is she" Katie snapped looking up and down the corridor, she needed
to have this out with Ally once and for all.

"Ms. Thomas, Katie" Sandra warned trying to reassure the surgeon not to
take offence.

"Where's my wife" Katie snapped as Sandra flinched to her tone of voice.

"I sent her home for the afternoon" Sandra replied defeated as she watched
the surgeon charged towards the lifts.

"What the hell" Rach snapped as her back was pushed against the opening
door as Katie stormed into the flat.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing here, how did you even get in"
Rach snapped as she followed Katie who ignored Rachel and began
slamming her hand against Ally's bedroom door.

"She's not here" Rach snapped squaring herself up to the surgeon who shot
the short blonde a mocking look and banged against Ally's door again.

"Rach what" Ally snapped as her eyes widened she noticed her roommate
and wife both jaw clenched glaring at her.

"We need to talk" Katie snapped pushing her way into Ally's room as it all
kicked off.
"Get that fucking loon out of my house" Rach shouted at Ally who pushed
the short blonde back gently.

"Flat" Katie teased as Rachel screamed in frustration.

"I'll sort it" Ally said calmly as she brushed her hand against Rachel's tense
shoulders as the blonde began to back away from Ally's room.

"I don't want her here" Rachel warned as she pointed her finger sharply at
Ally and stormed back in front of the television. Ally gritted her teeth as she
shut her bedroom door turning to see an equally angered Katie standing in
the middle of the room arms folded tightly around her chest.

"What gives you the right to walk in here like that" Ally said slightly more
calm that she and Katie had expected.

"What gives you the right to tell your boss about us" Katie shot back
causing Ally's anger to flare.

"Excuse me, you were the one who fucking told my friends who you were
when you decided to show up here out of the fucking blue" Ally snapped
walking further into her room

"Stop fucking cursing at me" Katie snapped as Ally glared at her.

Katie hated when Ally cursed at her in arguments..it had always made Ally's
words sting that bit more.

"Why are you here" Ally sighed brushing her fingers through her hair in
frustration.

"Because you act like a spoilt child in my operating theatre and then refuse
to speak to me" Katie snapped.

"Spoilt child..fuck you Katie...you have done nothing but hurt me" Ally
replied trying to keep her emotions intact.

"Likewise baaaaabe" Katie mocked as Ally's face winced.

"Stop throwing that shit in my face Katie...I did what you asked and now
you come back and tamper with my life" Ally said as Katie remained silent
her anger subsiding slightly her body remained tense.

"You frustrate me" Katie groaned as she brushed her hand roughly across
the back of her neck

"Likewise baaaaaaaaaaaabe" Ally mocked as Katie's teeth gritted once

again.

"Ugh you are so irritating" Katie snapped.

"Then why the fuck are we still married" Ally said as she stepped further to
the surgeon

"If I irritate you so much why didn't you process our divorce, I mean you
got to keep our apartment and stuff anyway" Ally added getting a dig in she
noticed her words hitting Katie where it hurt but Ally wasn't done pushing.

"Why are you here displaying that you are clearly moved on in front of me,
do you despise me that much that you needed to come to Brighton act all
lovey dovey and then kiss some random girl in front of my friends,
humiliate me" Ally said as she stopped leaving a few feet between them.

"Did you enjoy yourself" Ally asked as a single tear streamed her face.

"Don't" Katie replied shaking her head she couldn't listen to the brunette
anymore, seeing her tears made guilt take over but Katie wasn't here to feel
guilty, she was angry at Ally and it needed to stay that way.

"Don't what, come on Katie don't go all shy on me now..You could have
fucked her if you wanted to" Ally mocked as she sniffed back her tears
"Why didn't you fuck her" she pushed as Katie clamped her eyes shut, her
hands forming a fists.

"Was she too trampy looking for you, or maybe she didn't meet your
educational needs since you the superior of others Ms. Thomas" Ally
snapped as Katie's eyes shot open.
"She's not you" Katie snapped out her anger, she watched Ally's eye brows
furrow as she was a little taken back.

"She's not a spoilt obnoxious brat that however much I try to get out of my
head..I can't...I only kissed her because I thought she was you" Katie said
throwing her hands up in defeat as Ally's became pale and blinked at her
words.

"You happy now, you happy that it was you I wanted to kiss...it's you that is
in here" Katie cried as she held her hand over her heart.

"It's you that I want to hate and love at the same time" she cried as Ally
leapt forward crashing their lips together..Finally....Ally thought as her heart
skipped a beat..
 Chapter 9

"So come on, who is she" Sarah asked as her and Ally wheeled a patient to
recovery room after assisting in Mr. Barry's orthopaedic surgery.

"I don't know what you are talking about" Ally laughed as they positioned
the bed against the wall. Ally handed her patient over to the recovery nurse
while Sarah waited for her smirking the entire time.

There was definitely something different about Ally now..her brown eyes
had a sense of sparkle that Sarah had not seen from her co-worker before,
she noticed Ally was a lot more perky than she had been the last few weeks
around the theatre.

"Come on Ally just tell me, I know you by now and trust me you have hot
sex written all over your face" Sarah said causing Ally to laugh as they
walked back towards the nurse's station.

"You seriously read into things way too much" Ally mocked brushing her
shoulder against Sarah's as they took a seat. They sat at the nurses' station as
they both caught up with paper work. Ally couldn't hold her happiness. She
smiled allowing her fingers trail over her necklace were her wedding ring
dangle under her scrub top, was it really that obvious? If Sarah could sense
something how come Rach hadn't said anything.

"Girls" Sandra greeted her Nurses as Sarah and Ally said hello in
unionisation.

"Ally I'm short a nurse in a liver transplant this morning" Sandra said, Ally
groaned knowing she didn't have a choice in the matter..anything to do with
the liver was definitely meant she wasn't going to be out of before nine
o'clock tonight.
"Ok" Ally shrugged as she dropped her pen and continued to write some
notes.

"Sarah" Sandra now gave her attention to the blonde

"Some of these are not signed by Ms. Thomas, I need you to get her to sign
them before I can file them away" Sandra said handing Sarah some files as
her eyes locked briefly with a wandering Ally's. Ally cleared her throat and
continued her work.

"No probs" Sarah smiled taking the files and placing them next to Ally who
tried to focus on her work until Sandra had made small talk and disappeared
back into her office. Five minutes later and Ally couldn't take her eyes off
the yellow sheets beside her.

"I can get Ms. Thomas to sign them if you want" Ally said casually causing
Sarah to glare at her.

"I don't think that's a good idea after Monday do you" Sarah asked
cautiously remembering how awkward the surgery was after Ally had
stormed out and Katie's thundering attitude for the entire surgery.

"Seriously it's fine, I should probably apologise to her anyway" Ally said
nervously hoping Sarah would believe her.

"Ok cool but if Sandra asks, I did it" Sarah warned as Ally grinned hopping
up from her chair as she gave her friend a pat on the shoulder and left the
nurse's station.

"Ally" Sarah called out as Ally raced back blushing as she took the yellow
sheets Sarah held out for her. Sarah smirked as she watched the other nurse
chirp down the hallway..

*
"Come in" Katie shouted as her pen tapped gently against her paper work.
The Surgeon stretched back in her office chair as she sighed loudly into her
hands. She felt stressed after her two hour meeting with other Surgeons this
morning, her office door closed as the presence kept quiet she peeped
between her fingers instantly feeling her heart race as Ally stood leaning
against her office door in her scrubs.

"Hi" Ally smiled shyly as she watched Katie stand up in her pin skirt and
blouse, it was nice seeing Katie all professional looking every now and
then. Katie smiled as she slowly made her way over to Ally who didn't
move, her eyes just roamed over Katie's tanned legs and tight skirt clinging
in all the right places. Ally gulped as Katie's face remained blank as her
hand reached out tracing lightly over Ally's scrubs that parted at her hips.

"Sandra needs a few things signed" Ally breathed out as Katie's fingers
brushed against her skin causing her to shuddered slightly.

"Any other reason you happen to be in my office" Katie asked raising an

eye brow as her thumb pressed against Ally's navel piercing, a new edition
to Ally's body since they had been together in Gambia.

"Nope" Ally shook her head casually, her breathing hitched as Katie's
fingers traced over her bra. Katie chuckled lightly as her body pressed
forward allowing her wandering hand to drop back down to Ally hips as she
held the nurse tightly resting her head against Ally's ticklish neck.

"I missed you" Katie sighed kissing Ally's neck as Ally sighed contently
wrapping arms loosely around Katie's tense body.

"We were together last night" Ally laughed as Katie's head popped up to
hers.

"I mean, I miss this" she replied shyly as Ally's grinned capturing her lips
with her own.

"I missed this" Ally broke their short, sweet kiss as she slapped Katie's arse
causing her to squeal.

Katie leaned forward capturing Ally's lips with her own. She couldn't
believe she could finally get to do this again, so they hadn't exactly spoken
much the last 3 days just sex. Lots and lots of hot sex, over 10 months
without each other they had plenty of loving to make up for.
Katie's hand slipped under Ally's scrubs once again as her fingers dipped
teasingly to the ridged edge of Ally's underwear causing Ally's tongue to
deepen the kiss as she gripped Katie's hips and quickly twirled them around,
Katie was now pressed up against her own office door.

"Mmmmh babe we can't" Ally cursed herself hating her own words as she
rested her forehead against a breathless and slightly flustered Katie.

"It's fine no one will come in" Katie breath out as she allowed her hand to
slip behind her locking the door.Ally's eyes furrowed to why Katie would
have a lock in the first place as she shook her thoughts away.

"See" Katie smirked as her hands cupped her wife's cheeks and connected
their eager lips once again. Ally groaned as Katie's tongue teasingly brushed
off the roof her mouth, she snapped her head back as Katie furrowed staring
at her.

"I can't, I have to scrub into a liver transplant in 5 minutes" Ally groaned
leaning in pecking Katie on the lips and then backing away further into the
room as she sat on the edge of Katie's desk.

"Ally" Katie sulked "you wouldn't be busy if you were still working with
me" Katie teased stepping towards the brunettes again causing Ally to
smirk.

"I had my reasons" Ally said dryly as Katie rolled her eyes ignoring her
comment she spread Ally's thighs apart as she stood between her.

"I want to see you tonight" Katie said as she chewed the inside of her cheek,
her finger tracing over Ally's soft cheek.

"Rach is cooking Shell dinner so my place is out of the question" Ally

replied as Katie almost shuddered the thoughts of Ally's nasty roommate
gave her the creeps.

"Come to mine" Katie said as her fingers trailed over the two loose white
gold rings that hung from Ally's chain. Ally nodded in response as she
quickly leaned forward catching Katie's lips forcefully with her own..she
couldn't get enough of Katie. She was waiting to be pinched and awoken
from this dream but after 3 days of kissing and touching she knew this was
hopefully her second chance and she wasn't going to let any opportunity of
showing Katie how she felt slip away.

"Stop" Ally groaned pushing Katie off her as Katie's wandering hands were
beneath her scrubs once again. She needed to get back to work. Katie
smirked as she stepped back allowing Ally to brush her scrubs back down
as she patted down her chestnut locks.

"I'll text you my address later" Katie said now the one sitting on the edge of
her desk as she admired a flustered Ally who caught her staring.

"Bye" Ally smirked leaning forward and placing a quick peck on Katie's
lips who immediately gripped the back of Ally's head and deepened it..it
wasn't longer before their tongues battled and both girls moaned with Ally
snapping back into reality broke them apart.

"Stop it" Ally groaned stomping her foot as her cheeks burned with desire
she backed her way out of the office "sign those papers" Ally warned
pointing at the yellow sheets as Katie bit down on her lip a huge grin
forming on her face watching Ally unlock the door and leave her
office..tonight was going to be fun...

****

"Ugh god" Katie moaned as Ally straddled her unzipping her hoodie as
Katie quickly shuffled out of it attaching their lips again. Ally moaned as
Katie squeezed her arse tightly causing Ally to grind against Katie's slender
body.

"Fuck" Katie growled her anger now formed to lust. She didn't expect Ally
to kiss her in the middle of their argument when she had blurted out that it
was Ally she wished she had kissed her in the club last week but here Ally
was tugging the string of Katie's scrub bottoms as Ally's tongue massaged
her own.
"You drive me in fucking sane" Ally cursed as she tugged Katie's scrub top
swiftly over her head chucking it behind her. Katie leaned up on her elbow
as she gripped Ally's chin in her left hand.

"Watch that fucking mouth" Katie snapped as she crashed their lips
together. Their kisses became deep and forceful as both girls fought for
dominance..removing items of clothing from one another, it soon ended up
with Katie beneath Ally's sheets as Ally pinned her wife's hands above her
head.

"I'm sorry for being a twat at work" Ally mumbled between kisses as her
tongue glided down Katie's neck nipping at her tasty skin causing her to
moan.

"I'm sorry for kissing that girl" Katie breathed out as she bit down on her
lip feeling Ally's mouth now around her nipple as Ally tongue flicked over it
before brushing her teeth against her sensitive skin.

Ally ignored what Katie had said as she descended further down Katie's
body kissing and licking her soft toned stomach. Ally felt Katie tug at her
neck before her tongue collided with Katie's hip bone.

"I want to kiss you" Katie said shyly causing Ally's heart to melt as she
nodded and kissed her way back up her wife's body. Placing her lips on
Ally's, Katie hummed into their kiss..she wasn't sure what this all meant but
she knew deep down she couldn't fight what she wanted, despite her head
and heart being at war since she came to London she knew right now this
wasn't a mistake. She wasn't going to regret this tomorrow or next
week..feeling Ally's body against hers again..she hadn't felt this alive in
over a year.

"I have missed this so much" Ally panted as her hand slipped between them
gliding slowly back and forth over Katie's stomach she knew she was
having the right effect on her wife who's eyes clamped shut.

Ally placed a lingering kiss on Katie's lips as the Surgeons eyes flickered
open. There was no tension between them now, the anger had subsided to
lust and need. Ally needed this to happen, she needed to love Katie and
show her how she wasn't that messed up girl back in Gambia she had
turned into.

Ally's fingers slowly slid along Katie's wetness between her legs forcing
Katie's eyes to shut as she fought to suppress her moans. As Ally's finger
found Katie's swollen clit Katie's hand instantly stopped her. Ally began to
panic, was this where Katie said this was a mistake and leapt out of her
bed, saying she hated Ally and could never let this happen again.

Katie's piercing blue eyes locked with her own. Katie looked vulnerable
almost as her forehead creased with her thoughts.

"Al" Katie breathed out as she chewed her cheek nervously,

"I need to know something before we do this" she added feeling slightly
mortified that here she was lying naked under her wife who was about to,
well fuck her brains out. She hoped that's what was about to happen..

"Anything" Ally replied sweetly as worry washed over her face.

"Has there been anyone else you know since you, well since we" Katie
asked nervously "in this bed or with you" she added.

Is that it? Ally thought as she breathed out a sigh of relief shaking her head
from side to side.

"No" Ally replied as she brushed Katie's hand off her off before slipping her
fingers into Katie's wetness causing the surgeons body to arch as she wince
with pleasure.

"Only you" Ally said as she captured her wife's lips...

***

Katie whipped open her apartment door as a sketchy looking Ally stood in
her hallway.

"Hi" Ally smirked eye fucking Katie's body as she held a brown bag. Katie
grinned as she reached her hands forward and yanked the squealing brunette
into her apartment.

"Very fancy" Ally teased as she ran her finger tips along the black marbled
kitchen top looking around the newly decorated spacious apartment.

"Do you live alone" Ally asked honestly..she had never even questioned
where Katie had been living the past couple of months.

"Yes I can afford it after my estranged marriage" Katie joked as she

removed her t-shirt displaying her black laced bra against her loose track
suit bottoms. Ally gulped as her eyes locked with that prefect body
dropping the spring rolls on the counter..

"I brought Chinese" Ally stuttered suddenly the spring rolls were the least
appetising thing in the room.

"Food or sex" Katie asked raising an eyebrow as she slowly slid her
bottoms down revealing a matching black thong. Ally glanced between the
battered spring roll and her wife..

"Both" Ally growled as she bit into the spring roll and pounced towards a
squealing Katie who raced towards her room as Ally discarded her own
clothing along the way...

Thanks for reading :) xx

 Chapter 10

"Jesus" Katie panted as she lifted up the sheets over her exposed body, her
body numb from the pleasure Ally had just given her, she smiled as Ally
struggled to catch her breath as her eyes clamped shut showing her after sex
sex face.

"You are going to kill me one of these days" Ally groaned brushing her
sweaty hair from her face as Katie giggled against her neck.

"Why is the sex twice as good now" Ally chuckled as Katie shot her an evil
glare "I mean it was amazing before but not it's like...bloody hell" Ally said
her thick English accent making Katie laugh as she planted a kiss against
Ally's collar bone. Katie glanced at the clock it was already after 11pm, she
pushed back the sheet as she scrambled to find her discarded clothes.

"Just stay" Ally sulked as she watched Katie put her top back on and
flattening her ruffled hair in the mirror.

"I've got an amputation first thing tomorrow" Katie replied as she slid her
jeans back up her toned thighs and reached for her converse.

"Yeh and I've work tomorrow too..we can go in together" Ally replied as
kneeled forward draping her arms around her wife who tied her laces as she
sat on the edge of the bed.

"Ally" Katie sighed as she turned her face to meet a sulking brunette

"I need an early night" she added brushing Ally's chestnut strands of hair
from her face as she leaned forward placing a gentle kiss against Ally's nose
"anyway I'm sure Rach is due back soon" Katie mumbled untangling her
body from the brunettes as she stood up gathering her stuff in her hand bag.
"Fuck Rach" Ally snapped harshly her face remaining saddened as Katie
continued to get ready to leave. Katie swung her handbag over her shoulder
as she wrapped her scarf around her neck and stepped towards the bed
where Ally sat with her sheet wrapped around her. Katie felt guilty she
could tell Ally's eyes were pleading with her stay but she needed to go..she
wasn't ready for the whole sleep over thing..so they may have been sleeping
together for over a month but Katie still wanted to take things slow..no one
knew about them except Sandra who true to her word had not mentioned
another thing to Katie after that day in the corridor.

"I'll see you tomorrow" Katie whispered as she gave Ally a sweet kiss
cupping her cheek "bye" she pecked her wife's pouting lips and headed for
the door..that was it..she felt bad but she needed to go back to her own
place. As she opened the front door four eyes widened as they glared at her.

"Katie...er hi" Shel smiled as Katie returned a warm smile.

"Hey Shel" she replied as she felt an evil death glare from rach.

"Rachel" she smiled as she stepped around the short dreadlocked girl and
proceeded to walk to the stairs..Shel and Rach didn't say another word..katie
did of course hear a muffled voice followed by a door slam seconds
laters..no doubt rach was about to bombard Ally for answers..

**

"I mean a month" Ally snapped as she leaned back on the swivel chair "am I
overreacting...I'm overreacting aren't I" Ally babbled as a flushed looking
Sandra glared at her in disbelief in her chair...Sandra was all ears for her
nurses when it came to sorting out a nasty surgeon or changing their
allocation but this..listening to Ally talk about her amazing sex life with one
of the surgeons Ally happens to be secretly married to was NOT in her job
description.

"I er I don't know what to say" Sandra said nervously picking up files in her
hands and she shuffled them in a neat pile as Ally's eyes furrowed.
"I mean it's just sleep...why can't she just fuck me and then sleep over or let
me stay"Ally scowled.

"Alison" Sandra gasped wide eyed she really didn't not need to hear this.

"I'm over reacting aren't I" Ally mumbled crossing her arms.

"I think you should speak to one of your friends about this" Sandra replied
awkwardly...

"I can't..you are the only one that knows in this place...my flat mate Rach
isn't exactly speaking to me because of Katie and no one else knows...please
Sandra I need your opinion what should I do" Ally replied pouting her
bottom lip she was in desperate need for help even if it was from her 60
year old boss. Sandra cleared her throat..the sooner she gives an opinion the
sooner she got Ally back out on the floor.

"Ok Alison" Sandra said as she leaned forward clasping her fingers together
"here's what you need to do..."

**

Ally felt nauseous as she made her way down an all too familiar corridor
towards Katie's office..it had been a week since Rach had found out Ally
and Katie were back sleeping together..a week of Rach ignoring her and a
week of still no sleep over with her wife and now after her motivational
chat with Sandra, Ally needed to put her foot down. Ally and Katie had seen
each other everyday since but it normally consisted of a quickie on Ally's
break right before one of Katie's surgeries in her office or in an empty
conference room..sure the sex was amazing and any opportunity to kiss
Katie but it was beginning to bother her how physically close they had
become but Katie emotionally was distancing herself away from her. They
never really had much conversations..only the odd foreplay from Katie or
her telling how sexy Ally was but as soon as they both came, Katie was out
of there like a shot..Ally had tried on several occasions to bring the subject
up but Katie would laugh it off or tell Ally there was nothing to be worried
about..but Ally was worried...she was addicted to Katie...now that she had
her back in her life she was petrified Katie would be up and gone, Ally
knew it would break her heart all over again.

Ally knocked on the office door as she pressed down on the handle hearing
a polite come in.

"Hi" Katie's smiled beamed as she dropped her pen remaining seated at her
desk.

"Hey" Ally returned a short smile as she stepped further into the office

"I need you to sign these for Sandra" she added handing Katie the paper
work, their fingers gently brushing off one another as Ally's heart raced.
They stayed silent as Katie placed the sheets in front of her and looked
down quickly scanning over contents and signing the dotted line Ally
looked around the plain office..Katie smirked handing back the signed
sheets to Ally, licking her lips as Katie leaned forward slightly staying
seated.

"Anything else" she smirked as Ally's legs turned to jelly..how could two
words turn her on so much..Ally cleared her throat as she shook her head
from side to side.

"No thanks" she blurted out as she twirled her body around to walk back out
the door. Within seconds Katie was stood in front of her blocking the door.

"Babe whats up"Katie asked quietly as her fingers played with Ally's loose
strand of hair brushing it behind Ally's ear.

"Nothing" Ally lied "I'm just busy" she added as looked at her fob watch.
Katie knew her wife too well, she knew something was bothering Ally by
her nervousness.

"Okaaaaaay" Katie nodded not wanting to push her she dropped her hand to
her side "why don't you call over tonight for an hour or two" Katie asked.

"An hour or two" Ally questioned as her wife nodded.

"I can't sorry" Ally mumbled as she quickly brushed passed Katie who held
out her hand gripping Ally's arm.

"Ally" Katie snapped "what is going on" she asked irritated to how strange
Ally was acting. Ally shook her head from side to side..was Katie really that
thick that she couldn't sense how hurt Ally was..she wasn't some sex doll
that could be used for an hour or two and then expected to run off home..

"I'm just not in the mood for coming around for an hour or two...I may fall
asleep afterwards and god forbid if I had to sleep in your apartment" Ally
sneered as she shrugged out of Katie's grip as her wife rolled her eyes.

"Not this again" Katie mumbled clasping her hands tightly under her arms
as they remained near the office door "we spoke about this"

"No we didn't Katie" Ally snapped annoyed how Katie always assumed
once she brushed off a subject that was it solved.

"We are taking this slow" Katie warned

"Slow" Ally mocked as Katie nodded in agreement..she still wasn't quite

ready for the lounging around all lovey dovey in each other's apartments.

"Ok well then this is going to jump back a few steps..until you are ready of
course" Ally added seriously as Katie glared at her confused shaking her
head for the brunette to explain.

"No sleep overs means no sex until you are ready" Ally smiled suspiciously
as Katie's mouth parted slightly.

"No I didn't mean it like that..."

"No no I insist" Ally replied as placed her hand on the door handle.

"You know where I am when you are ready" she said placing a sweet kiss
on Katie's lips and brushing past the surgeon. Katie groaned as she slammed
the door in frustration...Ally really knew how to push her buttons...

**
"You are not wearing that" Katie gasped as she watched her wife model a
short white dress that had a v shape slit down the front teasingly showing
her amazing cleavage. Ally laughed as she walked towards the mirror to
apply her make up ignoring Katie.

"Alison" Katie snapped

"Kathryn" Ally mocked back causing Katie to cringe...she hadn't been

called that since her school days.

"I mean it" Katie stood her ground as she battled to keep her stern face
while her eyes wandered over her wife's delicious body.

"Babe" Ally laughed staring at her wife in the mirror as she applied her
make up "it's just a dress" she added as Katie's fist clenched. Katie had
opted for a black strapless dress...it was sexy yet sophisticated that was
appropriate for the work party they were attending. Ally's dress on the other
hand was too revealing and Katie knew if it turned her on..god only knows
how the creeps from the surgeon board were going to react seeing Ally in
this tiny number.

"Please change" Katie said as Ally corrected her foundation and turned
around to face her wife.

"Why it's just a dress" Ally replied slightly irritated.

"That is not a dress" Katie's eyes widened over her wife's almost exposed
breasts.

"You are such a prude" Ally laughed stepping forward as she clasped her
fingers around Katie neck leaning forward but Katie turned her face away.

"I mean it...change" Katie warned as she placed her hands either side of
Ally's hips and positioned her to the side whilst letting going and stomping
out of the room.

"Al the driver is here" Katie called out as she turned off the lights in their
apartment and opened the front door.
"Did you change" Katie asked as her wife appeared sour faced with her
black knee length jacket buckled around her body. Ally grunted as she
walked out the door passing her wife ensuring her heels made a huffy exit
while Katie smirked and closed their apartment door.

They remained silent in the limo the whole way to the party. Ally sighed as
she looked out the window..this party wasn't even her scene, it was going to
be some lavish dinner in a swanky hotel with a bunch of surgeons who
would turn their noses at her it they got word she was just a nurse. Ally
hated the idea of spending the evening by Katie's side and pretended to be
some barbie doll while she grunted an hello to those cocky surgeons..ok so
they weren't all bad Ally thought she knew a few she could laugh and joke
with and then there was Katie who she was in love with and that was
enough reason for her to make an effort for her wife. She was going to
respect her wife's wishes and just go to the stupid party..anyway most likely
that whore bag Lynne was going to be there..Ally thought if she wore
something sexy Lynne would finally give up trying to take advantage of her
wife, she wanted to show Lynne that Katie was more than happy with what
she has..Ally....little did her wife know who sat beside her clasping her hand
between them, that Ally remained in her white dress under her jacket but
that will be revealed later. Ally was going to try and behave, get this night
over with and take her wife home and make love to her and snuggle for the
night.

"You still mad at me baby" Katie murmured helping Ally out of the car as
she held her close to her body.

"That dress is for my viewing only" Katie continued as her thumb brushed
over Ally's plump lips "you are so beautiful" she whispered making Ally's
heart melt as they both leaned forward capturing each other's lips....she
was a bold girl Ally thought about her self as her wife lead her into the
posh function...

They had been at the party for a few hours now with dinner over, Katie
proudly introducing Ally to everyone. Ally wondered how Katie knew half
these people, she still kept her jacket on despite the heat in the room was
boiling her skin..now she felt bad..she understood why Katie didn't want her
wearing the dress...these middle aged creeps looked at Ally like she was a
succulent piece of cooked meat..there was one thing Ally was grateful for
and that was that that bitch of a plastic surgeon Lynne was no where to be
seen.

"Babe aren't you roasting in that" Katie asked her wife as they made their
way over to the bar

"No no" Ally smiled warmly at her wife as Katie nodded ordering them
drinks.

"Thanks for coming" Katie finally said as she played with her wife's fingers
between her own.

"Anything for you" Ally gushed seriously yet with a hint of cheesiness
causing Katie to laugh as she leaned forward capturing her wife's lips.

"Well well I was looking for you all night" Lynne irritating yet sexy accent
broke the couple apart. You..not you two..Ally's jealously bubbled once
again.

"Lynne hi" Katie beamed slightly embarrassed whilst Ally just gave the
blonde a quick smile and turned her attention back to the bar. Lynne began
chatting away to Katie blatantly ignoring Ally who ordered some shots and
knocking them back one by one.

"Excuse me while I go to the little girls room" Ally chirped a half an hour
later as pulled Katie to her lips given her a short but passionate kiss
causing her wife to moan..bingo.. Ally smirked.

"Wait here" Ally whispered biting her wife's lip slightly and releasing it as
she heard Lynne clear her throat. Ally swayed to the toilet after leaving the
pair..it was time to get the big guns out...

Katie laughed and joked with Lynne..despite her constant need to flirt with
Katie, Lynne was a great surgeon she had her patients needs at heart and
underneath her flirtatious self she could actually hold an interesting
conversation. Ally was gone at least 10 minutes and still not back..maybe
she should check on her but then again she knew Lynne was not her wife's
favourite person she probably just went for some air.

"Holy shit" Lynne mumbled as Katie took a swig of her champagne her eyes
following Lynne's, Katie began coughing up her drink as she noticed the
revealing white dress on her wife. Ally was giggling as she clutched the arm
of one of the directors of the health board, Ally swayed slightly in her heels
as both men and women who happened to be Katie's coworkers were eyeing
up the brunettes in her Marilyn Monroe like dress only slightly more
revealing. Jealous and anger raced through Katie's veins..she had warned
Ally to take off that dress and now here people were eye fucking her wife.

"Nice dress" Lynne mumbled as she sipped her champagne.

"Shut up Lynne" Katie snapped as she charged towards her giggling wife.

"Ah Katie" Mr. Darbo the chief of surgeons in the region smiled extended
his hand.

"Hi wifey" Ally giggled clearly drunk.

"Quite the lady you have here" he said in his thick African accent to Katie's
who's jaw clenched keeping her eyes on her swaying wife.

"Indeed she is" Katie replied her face remaining harden.

"Anyway Alison it was a pleasure and don't forget Mrs. Darbo wants you
ladies over for dinner soon" he said giving the brunette a kiss on her cheek
and doing the same to a stiffened Katie who said her good byes. Once he
was out of ear shot Katie snapped her head back to her wife.

"What the fuck are you playing at" Katie snapped trying to keep her
angered tone to the minimum. Ally rolled her eyes as she drained the last of
the contents in her glass placing it roughly on one of the tables close by.

"What I'm having a good time" Ally smiled waving her hands in front of her
she knew her self those shots of sambuca were clearly having a full blown
effect.
"Come on" Katie sighed as she yanked her wife's hand bringing her
towards the exit.

"Oh wow" Ally said stumbling on the last step, the air worsening her
drunken state, Katie let go of her hand walking over to a secluded part of
the grounds.

"God you done this on purpose" Katie snapped pulling at her hair.

"Wow dude chill" Ally joked in her best Katie accent who's face remained
stern. Ally rolled her eyes approaching her wife she flung her drunken arms
around Katie you gripped her tightly as she felt Ally about to fall.

"I love you" Ally mumbled as her lips brushed over Katie's neck. Katie held
her sulking wife back.

"I asked you not to wear it...so why did you" Katie snapped keeping a firm
grip on her wife..she was angry at Ally but no way was she going to the let
her fall to the ground.

"You aren't my mother...although right now you are acting like it" Ally shot
back pushing herself back from Katie but Katie kept a firm grip.

"I'm your wife Ally" Katie replied slightly more calmly she knew her
jealously was getting the better of her..Ally was hers and no one else's, she
hated being in that room looking at all those pervy men staring at her..she
was beginning to realise how Ally felt whenever Lynne was looking at
her....

"Yeh I know" Ally giggled "I was there when I said I dooooooo" she joked
as her mesmerised over her own wedding ring, Katie smirked without her
wife seeing her..god she was madly in love with this childish brat but Ally
was her childish brat. She knew Ally was a funny drunk and also a very
horny drunk...her best way of getting back at Ally wasn't to shout and be a
possessive wife but deny Ally something she knew would really infuriate
Ally...no sex...
"We should get you home" Katie said softly as she loosened her grip on Ally
allowing a huge drunken grin appear on her face.

"Mmmmmm" Ally smirked clasping her arms around Katie's neck as she
leaned forward

"Ah ah no" Katie jerked her head back smelling the sambuca off her wife's
breath.

"Whyyyyyyy" Ally groaned like a little school girl. Leaning forward she
whispered in her wife's ear

"I'm horny".

Katie bit her lip trying to suppress the urge to yank Ally around the side of
the building and fuck her senseless against the wall...no sex she thought.

"No sex" she said loudly trying to convince herself unclasping her wife's
hands and taking five slender fingers in her own as she lead her back
towards the entrance of the hotel to order a driver.

"Let's get a room" Ally caught up with her wife as they walked briskly, she
pulled Katie back their eyes and bodies meeting. Ally pursed her lips
together as she lifted her finger to trace over Katie's outlined face. Katie's
heart melt as she watch Ally's face concentrate taken in Katie's beauty, her
tense eyes roaming over Katie's face she suddenly thought Ally had sobered
up.

"Katie" Ally whispered as her wife gulped brushing her face into Ally's
touch as she cupped Katie's soft cheek. Love was definitely in the air..Katie
knew Ally only wore that dress to prove a point..Alison Thomas was an
independent woman no matter what...she was always going to make her
own choices...

"Katie" Ally repeated her face remained serious

"Yeh Al" Katie replied waiting for Ally to most likely declare her love for
her and then succeed in seducing Katie in a hotel room upstairs.
"I feel sick" she mumbled and suddenly Ally was crouched over her wife
puking the contents of her stomach up...Katie rolled her eyes as she grasped
her wife's hair back....how romantic she smiled to herself as she watched
Ally vomit on the gravel...she didn't need a wife that was a complete
airhead to stand by her side all night with a fake smile to her coworkers or
who wore a long expensive gown and dazzled expensive ear
rings...nope..her wife wore a skimpy white dress who got drunk at the bar
and joked around with Dr. Samba Darbo..the man who had all of Gambia's
health care system in the palm of his hands and now here was puking her
guts up at a 5 star hotel..Katie loved this girl beyond anything in the world.

"Let's get you a nice comfy bed upstairs" Katie said as she kissed her wife's
forehead holding her tightly as they walked up the steps to the entrance of
the hotel she was pretty sure Ally had nothing left in her system to vomit.

"Mmmmmmh I want you in bed" Ally mumbled against her wife's neck.

"No sex" Katie reminded her wife who slurred something to herself.

Ally swayed as she stood in the hotel reception watching her wife book them
into the hotel for the night..she was still pissed off about that tramp Lynne
flirting with her wife, extremely drunk and also horny as hell. Katie glanced
over her shoulder as she gave Ally a quick smile checking to make she
hadn't passed out on the floor before turning back and handing the
receptionist her credit card..Ally really was a lucky bitch she thought to
herself..she had a hot wife..a hot possessive wife..a jealous hot wife...a
loving hot wife...

"Nice dress Al" a seductive voice broke her from her trail of thoughts as she
snapped her body around a little too quickly causing her to sway as Lynne
placed a hand on her arm to steady her.

"It's Ally" Ally mumbled brushing the cold hand from her arm. Only Katie
and her close friends called her that and Lynne was far from being her
friend..not in this life time anyway.

"Whats your problem" Ally slurred the alcohol allowing her to be a bit more
outspoken that usual.
"I don't know what you are talking about" Lynne replied flicking her red
locks from her face she clutched her handbag.

"She's married to me...that means she's off limits so stop with the flirting"
Ally snapped slightly more sober as Lynne scoffed a laugh.

"Alison relax anyone would think you are worried about a little
competition" Lynne replied looking over to Katie who's curves and ass were
in perfect view.

"Back off" Ally snapped stepping forward to the red head who smirked
widely knowing she was hitting a nerve.

"She's hot" Lynne whispered in Ally's ear as Ally's fists clench.

Lynne noticed Katie walking back towards them "but who says she's the one
I want" she added as Ally's eyes widened.

"Everything ok" Katie asked a little confused to why Lynne was close to her
wife and Ally looked like she had seen a ghost.

"Perfect" Lynne smiled stepping back

"I think she needs some water" she added giving the couple a quick smile
and headed back to the party.

"Let's get you upstairs" Katie smiled wrapping her arm around her wife's
slender waist and began walking towards the lift with the silent brunette...

**

"Hi bitch" Ally sang as she entered her flat and headed straight for the
kitchen. Rachel mumbled an hello keeping her eyes glued to the telly in
front of her.

"Let's go out tonight...I'm meeting some people from work..you should

come"Ally suggested as she drank from the carton of milk.

"Let me guess Katie will be there" Rach replied looking up from the telly.
Ally knew Rach meant well..rach looked after her friends and she knew
Katie coming back had ruffled a few feathers.

"I didn't ask her" Ally replied as Rach raised an eyes brow, she knew the
couple had been sleeping with each other the past few weeks and
unfortunate for had it herself on a couple of occasions.

"No Katie" Rach asked a little more enthusiastic on the idea of heading out
with her friend.

"No Katie " Ally agreed "No sex" she added convincing herself as she
skipped her way into her room to get ready for her night out.

"Shots" Ally declared banging her hands against the wooden bar as Rach
and a couple of the girls from work followed.

"Can I get four tequilaaaaaaas" Ally ordered watching the girls cringe at the
choice of shot. Surprisingly Ally was having a good night..she had one
missed call from Katie since being in her office 12hours ago and now she
was well and truly drunk. She needed to let her hair down...live a little and
also to get back on Rach's good side. They had spoken about Katie and
Ally's relationship and Rach had said she wouldn't get involved anymore..as
long as Ally was happy she wasn't going to make anymore comments...little
did Rach know about the whole no sleeping over thing..Ally had apologised
and the girls had made up by buying rounds of drinks and shots for each
other...soon being the only two of the group left by the bar.

"I'm so drunk" Rach shouted over the loud music as she sighed looking
down at her phone.

"No girls" Ally warned snatching her friends phone and chucking it back in
Rach's bag.

"Oh please I'm sure you are just waiting for your next fix" rach mocked
sipping her drink.

"Nope I'm an independent woman now" Ally declared sipping her vodka as
Rach shot her a mocking look.
"Don't tell me the honey moon period is over already" Rach teased as Ally
glared at her.

"Come on...you can tell me I promise I won't say anything..well to your

face anyway" Rach winked clicking her fingers gesturing the bar maid to
give them another round of drinks. Ally sighed as she finished off the last of
her drink in the glass, she still wasn't sure if maybe she was overreacting
about the whole "sleep over" thing with Katie. Sandra had suggested Ally
take a step back..not give Katie what she wanted that would maybe make
Katie realise what she is missing..for an old bat Ally had new found respect
for her boss with her agony aunt qualities but then again maybe Sandra was
wrong..what if this pushed Katie away..Katie did only ring once today...Ally
began to panic as she reached for the full shot from the steady bar maids
hand.

"Fucking hell babe" Rach gasped picking up her own shot she mimicked
her friends actions only slower and winced as she felt the raw alcohol slide
down to her churning stomach.

"Katie won't sleep with me" Ally blurted out resting her heavy head against
her arm on the bar.

"You sure about that..I'm pretty sure my poor ear drums had to listen to
your pathetic moans the other night whilst watching emmerdale" Rach
laughed as Ally rolled her eyes.

"She won't sleep over..ever or let me stay..she always has some excuse
straight after sex" Ally mumbled playing with the empty shot glass in her
hand. Rach eyes furrowed as she watched her sulking friend..Ally had it
bad...

"Al this is going to sound strange considering Katie and I haven't exactly
gotten off to the best start but you need to give the girl time" rach said
placing her fingers on Ally's shoulder.

"Not many people can survive a marriage like you two have done but you
guys are clearly giving it a go..what's the rush..what's there to lose" Rach
spoke honestly knowing Ally was crazy about Katie.
"Everything...I could lose it all again...I don't think I could deal with it" Ally
sniffed..she was drunk, sad and slightly horny for her wife but now really
was not the time.

"Babe chill ok...she moved here to see you, got a job to be around you...I
don't think that girl is going anywhere" Rach said giving her friend a gentle
smile. Ally nodded, surprisingly Rach made a lot of sense for someone who
repeatedly called her wife a lunatic and bitch.

"Let's get you home" Rach sighed taking her drunk friend in her arms, they
waved their goodbyes to Ally's coworkers and headed for a taxi.

"I looooooove you so much" Ally sniffed through her drunken tears as Rach
tried her hardest to hold her up

"You know I've never had a proper best friend besides Katie but you..you
are my best friend...fuck that Amy one back in Brighton..did you know she
slept with my boyfriend when we were 15, not that I was into him or
anything but seriously" Ally slurred as they reached the top of the stairs
both stumbling forward.

"You're my best friend" Ally cried as she watched Rach's tears fall they
stood in front of each other.

"You're my best friend" Rach sniffled "I'm sorry for being a bitch..I just
care and love you so much I don't want to see you get hurt" Rachel whaled
as they both stood bawling and holding each other.

"I love you" Ally repeated to Rach as she noticed Shel come out of their
apartment.

"I love you too" Rach cried. Katie appeared by Shel's shoulder as she
watched the two friends sway and cry.

"You two are such a mess" Shel laughed as both girls whipped their heads
to see smirking Katie stood beside Shel...Ally began to whinge again as her
tears continued to fall..this is what tequila did to her..

"What's wrong" Rach asked as she wiped her friends tears away.

"She hates me" Ally mumbled her finger unable to point directly at her
wife.

"No she doesn't" Rach replied "Katie tell her you don't hate her" she added.

"I don't hate you" Katie smirked at how drunk the pair were.

Their creepy neighbour who lived in apartment 27 snatched open his door
as his red face stood in the door opening.

"Keep the bloody noise down" his thick London accent echoed through the
hall as Ally and Rach snapped their heads around as they held onto each for
support.

"Oh fuck you and your gay music...man up bitch and go back to sleep"
Rach snapped..two years she had wished for this moment to tell him what
she really thought of his Barbra Streisand power ballads on repeat.

"Yehhhhhh" Ally added awkwardly agreeing with Rach's odd choice of

words. Ally stumbled further towards his door as Katie stepped forward not
knowing what Ally was going to do.

"I pay my taxes...I pay rent so I can do what I want" she slurred her body
leaning hard against the wall. Their neighbours face furrowed as the anger
was no replaced with confusion.

"Freaks" he mumbled before closing his door.

"Can we please take this inside" Shel whispered always one to be

considerate to others.

"Mmmmmmh sounds good" Rach flirted as she stumbled latching onto her
girlfriend who rolled her eyes giving Katie a sympathetic look..she was next
to bring a drunken Ally inside.
Ally fell on her bed as the room continued to spin. Katie had silently
brought her to her room, glancing around the room her door was shut..great
she's gone before the sex now Ally thought as she rested her head back
against her covers. The bedroom door clicked open quietly, Ally's eyes
flickering open she watched as Katie stood over her holding out a glass of
water.

"Drink it" Katie offered it again as Ally sat up..her emotions kicking off
again..that bloody tequila...

"You can go now" Ally sniffed snatching the glass as she turned and placed
it on her bedside locker.

"Someone's had a bit too much tequila" Katie joked as she sat on the edge
of the bed next to the sniffling brunette.

"I thought it was over..you only rang me once today..I should have kept my
mouth shut" Ally mumbled wiping her reddened eyes, she was done with
the crying..for now.

"If you weren't so stubborn and answered your phone you would have
known I was in surgeries all day and was planning on coming to talk after
work but I came here and Shel said you two were out so I thought I'd wait"
Katie replied brushing her thumb over Ally's damp cheek

"What time was that at" Ally questioned

"After 7" Katie laughed as Ally checked the time it was already near 3am.

"I'm sorry" Ally slurred "I thought if I acted all cocky and made you want
me you'd want more of me than just sex but I've been regretting it all day...I
knew I shouldn't have listened to Sandra" Ally rambled as Katie's eyes
widened.

"You need to stop talking to Sandra about us..it's creepy" Katie replied her
face scrunching. Ally laid on her back as she sighed.

"I missed you" Katie said as leaned on her elbow beside the brunette.
"I don't want you to feel I'm using you for sex" Katie added as her index
finger twirled around a strand of Ally's hair.

"You could never just be sex Al" she sighed "but right now I'm confused
you know..we should be divorced...I need to find that trust again...I should
be working my way up the hospital board in Gambia" she added as the
word divorce made Ally's stomach churn. Their eyes locked as Katie bit
down on her lower lip.

"But you aren't" Ally sighed as Katie shook her head.

"Let's talk about this in the morning ok..you've been drinking" Katie said as
she sat up walking around Ally's room looking for pyjamas. Ally wasn't
going to argue with Katie sure she had plenty to get off her chest but Katie
was right tomorrow would be better. Katie grabbed a pair of shorts and an t-
shirt placing them next to Ally. Katie beckoned for her wife to lift her body
as she tugged Ally's dress upwards exposing her body. Ally sat up allowing
Katie to pull it completely over her head. She gave Katie a mischief look as
her hands reached forward pulling Katie towards her.

"No sex remember" Katie smiled as Ally's flirtatious smile dropped. Katie
unclasped her wife's bra..the temptation in her mind to take advantage of a
drunken Ally was quite the lover when she was intoxicated lingered in her
mind as she quickly dressed the brunette into her pyjamas and pulled back
the duvet allowing her drunken wife to slip into comfort.

"I guess I will see you tomorrow sometime" Ally mumbled hugging the
duvet to her body as she prepared herself for another night alone.

"I guess you will" Katie replied leaning forward as she placed a soft kiss on
Ally's forehead tucking her into bed and switching off the light she left a
silent Ally in her room.

Ally shuffled in her bed she looked at her clock it was near 4, Katie was
well and truly home and most likely sleeping right now. She sipped the
water Katie had left her. Her bedroom door opened quietly she could make
out the shadow of Katie's body, her jeans now removed she stood in her top
she wore earlier and her underwear. Quietly Katie stepped forward and
pulled back to duvet slipping her body next to Ally.

"What are you doing" Ally voice startling Katie slightly.

"Going to sleep" Katie mumbled as her body snuggled into Ally's.

"Really" Ally gulped as her arm wrapped around Katie's slender body, her
heart raced as she felt Katie got tickling breath against her neck.

"Really" Katie mumbled. Ally was grinning as she lay holding Katie
close..she was wired..Katie was actually going to spend the night..worry
suddenly washed over her, what if she went to sleep and Katie was gone in
the morning, she tightened her grip around her wife as her body tensed.
Suddenly Katie's body shuffled back as she reached back flicking the lamp
on.

"Ally go to sleep...I've been awake 23 hours I'm not going anywhere" Katie
said rubbing her eyes.

"Promise" Ally asked holding out pinky as Katie rolled her eyes.

"I promise you big child" Katie huffed linking their fingers together as Ally
grinned leaning forward she captured Katie's lips in a brief sweet kiss...she
no longer felt scared of Katie getting up and leaving her..it was the first
time in over a year she really felt that what had happened could be
somehow put behind them..this was her second chance...

***

"He needs a triple A surgery before you even think about touching his colon
Lynne" Katie snapped as she entered her office with the red head soon
behind.

"Katie he has a tumour that is blocking his intestine I need to get it out
ASAP" Lynne replied as Katie rolled her eyes.

"He's my patient..I'm not letting you do this until I perform the surgery"
Katie snapped..there was no way she could let Lynne open her patients
colon.

"How long before I can operate" Lynne asked.

"It's a big surgery so I don't know maybe 4-6 weeks if his recovery goes
well" Katie shrugged her shoulders.

"No way" Lynne shook her head "that's too long...the cancer will just
spread..he needs a colectomy first and then you do your little surgery"
Lynne added coldly as Katie groaned in frustration..Lynne who once was
all over her like a heat rash was now the same of the rest of the surgeons
Katie had to share the theatres with..Lynne was snappy and determined to
remove Katie's patient's colon before she removed his bulging aneurysm in
his aorta.

"That cancer won't mean shit when my patients bleeds all over the
operating table" Katie snapped "6.4cm is bulging out of his Abdominal
Aorta..he could bleed at any time and be dead just like that" Katie said as
she clicked her fingers.

"I'm performing two weeks time...come back to me in 6 weeks and we can

discuss it further..I suggest in the mean time you get him some
radiotherapy" Katie said more calmly as she glanced at her watch, she was
already half an hour with meeting Ally.

"This isn't over" Lynne threatened as she stormed out of Katie's office.

"Sorry I'm late" Katie rushed over to her wife who sat at the theatre
reception.

"It's ok" Ally smiled leaning forward and kissing her wife.

"Rough day" Ally asked as her arm wrapped around Katie's tense waist.

"You have no idea" Katie mumbled kissing Ally's hair line as they headed
home.

*
"I mean she's going against my professional opinion...doubting me as a
surgeon" Katie snapped as she paced her living room clutching her glass of
wine as Ally watched safely from the couch.

"Babe...don't you think you are overreacting a little" Ally winced at her own
words as Katie's blue eyes darkened as they glared at her.

"I mean don't get me wrong..it is Lynne we are talking about and I would
never defend the bitch but I doubt she's calling you a bad surgeon, she just
feels that maybe Mr. Kah would benefit from the bowel surgery first" Ally
explained as Katie continued to glare at her.

"Ally he has a mini golf ball bulging from his aorta that's about to pop any
day" Katie shouted as Ally flinched....Ally hated the way Katie was
speaking to her like she didn't have a clue.

"It's getting late" Ally mumbled placing her half empty glass of wine on the
table she stood up.

"Let's go to bed" she whispered kissing Katie's cheek but she knew her wife
was far from relaxed to settled in bed for some cuddles.

"I'm not tired" Katie mumbled as Ally let her go just watching her for a
couple of seconds.

"Well good night then" Ally said giving her wife's tense arm a light squeeze
and making her way to their bedroom. Katie sighed as she slouched down
onto the couch...she knew she shouldn't have snapped at Ally but her anger
was getting the better of her..one thing in life Katie could not bear was
anyone doubting her medical skills...she had studied since the age of 12
ensuring she got top grades to go to college and become a doctor..she never
spent her college weekends out partying or getting high..she studied and
studied throughout med school until the day she got accepted into a surgical
programme. This was her life, Ally and saving lives was her life...like hell
she was going to let that fiery bitch Lynne tell her what is best for her
patient.

*
Katie changed into her scrubs as she got to work. Almost two weeks she
was having an ongoing feud with Lynne about Mr. Kah. Katie had been
tensed to the max..she'd approached other surgeons for second opinions
and gotten nowhere. Half of them agreed Katie's surgery was most
important due to the high risk of bleeding but then others stated his cancer
was an aggressive form and needed to be dealt with straight away to
improve his chances of long term survival. Ally had remained quiet the past
couple of weeks, Katie knew Ally had scrubbed into Lynne's surgeries a few
times a week due to staff shortages but Katie had noticed how Ally had
stopped complaining about Lynne ever since the hotel function over a
month ago around the same time Lynne had stopped being a dog in heat
around Katie. Katie knew Ally would never cheat but there was something
lingering at the back of her mind...something made her feel uneasy.

"Is Mrs. Bello ready in theatre 2" Katie asked placing her patients folders
at the nurses desk.

"No Ms. Thomas, Ms. Robson is using theatre 2 but theatre 4 will be ready
by 11 o'clock" Loli one of the senior nurses explained as Katie looked at her
confused.

"But there's no colorectal surgeries on Tuesdays" Katie replied.

"She said it was urgent it and needed be done today" Loli shrugged her
shoulders and carried on with her paper work. Katie made her way to
theatre 2, firstly she should have been informed that her surgery was
rescheduled and she had passed Lynne only a couple of hours ago who
hadn't spoken a word to her about any emergencies. Holding a mask over
her mouth loosely Katie made her way into the quiet operating room.

"What the hell" Katie snapped startling both Lynne and Ally, flinching as
they both glanced at one another in worry....

**

She hadn't seen Ally since last night..Ally had left a note on the pillow this
morning saying she was called into work early for a surgery and she would
see her later..at least Ally had signed it with an Xx so she couldn't have
been completely annoyed at Katie for how she spoke to Ally last night. She
searched the theatre for her wife..so the guilt was getting the better of her,
as she walked by the empty staff room she heard her wife's intoxicating
laugh..the hint of happiness and flirtatiousness in her laugh always made
Katie's heart melt but now her pent up anger had bubbled as she watched
Lynne's hand rest teasingly on her wife's thigh as they appeared cosy in the
secluded corner.

"What the fuck" Katie gritted through her teeth as both startled women
flinched.
 Chapter 12

A flood of panic washed over Ally as she reached out to the empty space
beside. Her head banging she dashed out of her room stumbling towards the
dining table where Shel, Rach and Katie stared at her mid breakfast.

"Sleeping beauty is awake" Rach joked snatching a slice of toast off the
plate Katie held offering some to Shel who politely declined. Katie gave
Ally a warm smile..despite Ally's churning stomach to the small of
breakfast and a whopping headache Ally was squealing inside that Katie
had exactly slept over last night, beside her, in her bed.

"Yo numpty" Rach called out as Ally jumped in her spot.

"What" she grumbled.

"I said sit down for some food" Rach pulled out the chair beside her
beckoning her friend to sit beside her

"So I was wrong about wifey over here" Rach pointed at a smirking Katie
"and we are cool now as long as she continues to make a brekkie like this"
Rach said as she stuffed her mouth with sausages.

"Yo how does an American know how to do a full English" Rach whispered
her mouth full of half chewed food whilst Katie was busy in the kitchen.

"I guess I trained her well" Ally smirked as she held her head in her hands.
She remembered her and Katie were talking last night about everything, she
needed to pick up where they left off. They both had stuff they needed to
say to one another that remained bottled up for over a year.
"Here" Katie smiled as she placed a home cooked full English breakfast
plate in front of her. Ally heaved as she stood up.

"No, excuse me" Ally said holding her mouth as she ran straight for the
bathroom whilst hearing a rupture of laughter echoed from the kitchen.

"You look rough" Katie said sitting on the edge of the bath as she held a
glass of water out for a pale faced Ally.

"I'm such an idiot" Ally breath out as she rested back from the toilet bowl
wiping her tears and mouth in the hand towel.

"Yeh you are" Katie smirked.

"You are loving this aren't you" Ally snapped throwing the dirty towel at her
wife who squealed and ducked for cover. As Katie's laughter died down, the
silence eased between them.

They were back having a physical relationship for over a month know, Ally
knew an emotional relationship needed to be formed to at least try and
forget about the past.

"We need to talk" Ally finally said standing up she reached for her tooth
brush as Katie remained sitting on the ledge of the bath.

"I know but I've got to go to work for a while" Katie replied as Ally rolled
her eyes brushing her teeth.

"One day, can you just not go in for one day" Ally mumbled with her brush
in her mouth as she looked down on her wife.

"Ally it's my job" Katie replied slightly irritated

"Not everyday Katie, you need a break too" Ally said wiping her mouth as
she placed her tooth brush back in the cup next to Rach's.

"To what get so drunk that you are puking your guts up the next day" Katie
shot back as Ally's eyes widened.
"Ok since when did this turn into an argument" Ally joked but Katie was
beyond finding this one bit funny.

"This is one big joke to you" Katie mumbled as she stormed out of the
bathroom.

"What's that suppose to mean" Ally shot back offended. Anything between
her and Katie was definitely not a joke.

"Nothing" Katie mumbled once in Ally's room she quickly gathered her
stuff in her hand bag.

"Babe" Ally said softly,

"Please stay with me today, We can go for lunch and talk about everything,
about us" Ally replied stepping forward she reached to touch her wife but
Katie's body moved back as she slung her bag over her shoulder.

"I have to go to work" Katie said coldly as Ally shook her head stepping out
of her wife's way. Katie walked out of Ally's room and mumbled her
goodbyes to a open face Rach and Shel who sat at the table.

"There was always more than the two of us in this marriage Katie and right
now you aren't choosing me" Ally snapped as Katie stopped in her tracks.
Ally's face remaining stern she glared at Ally who stepped out of her room,
her arms folded tightly she knew what effect her words were having on
Katie.

"Fuck you" Katie spat as she snapped her body back and stormed out of the
apartment door. The three girls flinched as the slam of the door echoed
through the apartment.

"Shit" Ally groaned as her foot collided with the radiator against the wall.

"Ally" Shel shot to her feet as Ally wince falling to the ground as she held
onto her foot.

"What the fuck did you do that for" Rach snapped helping her friend to her
feet.
"Ow why the fuck is that there" Ally groaned.

"It's a bloody radiator numbnuts" Rach snapped as her and Shel carried the
brunette to her bed.

"We should get you to the hospital" Shel said as she propped the already
swollen foot onto a pillow as Ally groaned in agony.

"No its fine" Ally insisted as she battled to keep the tears away.

"Ally stopped being nurse ratchet and let us take you" Rach snapped as Ally
scowled at her.

"Just leave me alone..I want to be alone" Ally snapped hiding her tears until
both girls were out of her room. Why was she such a fuck up she thought as
the tears streamed freely against her pillow.

***

Ally sniffled as she laid in her bed, she knew Katie didn't mean to snap and
be so cold but it didn't mean it didn't hurt any less. She knew Lynne was a
shit stir in work but at the end of the day both surgeons wanted best for the
patient.

Changing into her pyjamas maybe this was going to be her first night since
being married to Katie she was going to have to spend the night alone in
their bed and she did...she woke up early the next morning with her phone
ringing from work.

"Hello" she grumbled letting her hand trace over the un slept space beside
her.

"Hi Alison..I need you to come to work early this morning, I'm short staff
and there's been a change in theatre schedule" Loli said as Ally groaned
looking at the clock it wasn't even 6am..this was going to be one long ass
day...

**
"What the hell" Katie snapped as Ally jumped holding the clamp, she
looked nervously at Lynne whose head was snapped in Katie's direction. It
took Lynne a few seconds to gain her composure before she was back being
her cocky self.

"Nice of you to join us Ms. Thomas" Lynne said as she continued to operate
on her unconscious patient.

"Please tell me that is not Mr. Kah" Katie gritted her teeth as she walked
around the lifeless body, her fists clenched, if the name on the whiteboard
wasn't a giveaway, his pale expressionless face confirmed it.

"What are you doing" Katie snapped walking around the sterile body so she
was opposite the surgeon.

"Katie" Ally said quietly knowing this was not the place for her wife's anger.

"Don't" Katie warned her wife, she would deal with Ally later.

"Well Ms. Thomas what does it look like" Lynne said focusing on her
surgery "I removing this bad boy" she added removing another piece of the
tumour and placing it in the kidney dish.

"I told you as he was a patient under my care, he specifically was not to get
this surgery" Katie's voiced raised as the staff around her stared at her
except for Lynne.

"You need to leave right now Ms. Thomas I'm in the middle of surgery"
Lynne cautioned a red faced Katie who was not prepared to back down.

"Katie come on we can talk about this later" Ally whispered trying not to
make a scene.

"Ally don't even talk to me right now, I swear to god" Katie gritted through
her teeth. She knew if she let loose there was no going back and was not
prepared to do this in front of everyone especially Lynne.

Ally sighed as she glared at Lynne who was clearly enjoying every moment
of ripping that tumour out of Mr. Kah's bowel.
Ally closed her front door gently placing her keys on the table she crept into
her home. It was a long stressful day. Nearing midnight she had been in
work for over 16 hours and not heard from her wife since Katie stormed out
of Lynne's surgery on Mr. Kah, but that was only the beginning of her
disastrous day.

Ally placed her handbag against the wall as she headed for the bathroom
she wanted nothing more than a nice long hot shower and couldnt wait for
her head to hit her pillow. She knew Katie was not going to let her off
lightly for keeping Mr. Kah's bowel surgery a secret from her but truth be
told if Ally had known about it before she scrubbed in that morning of
course she would have told her wife.

She was just doing her job when Loli ordered her to scrub into one of
Lynne's surgeries that morning little did she know was it on the patient her
wife refused to let have this surgery until Katie had preformed a triple A on
him the very next day and little did Ally know that he was going to die on
Lynne's watch.

"You are late" Katie's harsh tone caused her wife to jump as Ally turned in
her tracks noticing Katie sitting on the sofa in their darkened apartment.

"Katie, Jesus" Ally jumped placing her hand over her palpating chest. She
flicked the nearest light on as her eyes connected with her stern wife's.

"Babe about earlier" Ally gulped as Katie quickly shook her head
dismissing her wife and shot up to her feet

"Don't you fucking dare" Katie warned pointing her finger at her wife.

"Katie I didn't know" Ally mumbled as she watched how upset Katie
actually was, Ally's heart ached with guilt but she was only just doing her
job.

"Bull shit" Katie snapped walking into the kitchen she needed room to
breathe, her anger flared as soon as she seen her wife.
"Honestly babe I didn't know, Loli phoned me to come to work..I only found
out it was Mr. Kah at time out when I was already scrubbed in...I couldn't
leave the theatre" Ally said as she leaned against the door frame watching
her wife's body react to her words

"Why couldn't you" Katie shouted "Why couldn't you leave and call me, I
would have came straight in" Katie sniffed

"Babe" Ally sighed stepping forward she needed to hold her wife, console
her wife and tell her she had to do her job.

"Don't" Katie warned as her tears soon disappeared and anger filled her
eyes once more and she composed herself.

"For god sake Katie" Ally snapped taking a step back she couldn't
understand why Katie was being so harsh and cold..it wasn't her fault.

"I didn't do this, I was just doing my job Katie..I didn't fucking know so stop
looking at me like I fucking killed him" Ally snapped

"You did" Katie shot back the venom in her voice gave Ally chills down her
spine.

"You did this...you let that stupid bitch go ahead with the surgery this
morning without telling me and now Mr. Kah is dead" Katie shouted
spitefully at her wife.

"He should be at home with his wife and kids preparing for the surgery I
was going to perform tomorrow but now thanks to you and Lynne he's lying
in a morgue tonight" Katie spat as she watched her words hit her wife like a
moving train.

Ally nodded as she wiped away her tears, she had been called a lot of
things in her life but never a cold blooded killer and especially from the one
person's opinion which mattered the most to her in the world, her wife.

The woman who now looked at her as though Ally had physically popped
that aneurysm herself and made Mr. Kah bleed to death only moments after
Katie had stormed out of the theatre earlier that day.

"I'm going to bed" Ally sniffed as she quietly made her way to her room
without giving Katie another glance. She cried herself to sleep that night.
Katie surprisingly had joined her in bed a sometime during the night and
kept her distance.

Exhausted and emotionally drained as her phone rang after only getting
two hours sleep her boss phoned her to come straight to work as they were
short on staff.

Secretly Ally was glad of the early phone call as she quietly got dressed and
glanced over at her wife who was fast asleep in their bed. Katie's words
hurt last night but she knew despite being hurt her wife was angry. Angry
that she was right all along about Mr. Kah and Lynne had really fucked up
and now the poor man was lying in the hospital morgue.

Lynne wasn't completely to blame..Mr. Kah's aneurysm happened to burst

while Lynne was removing his tumour, it could have happened at anytime,
at home, in his sleep or on his way to the hospital but it just so happened
when Lynne was performing a life saving operation to remove his cancer
but Ally knew Katie was going to fight this and make sure Lynne went down
for this for not playing by Katie's rules...

"Fuck" Ally groaned as she felt the hot water from her coffee splash against
her sensitive skin.

"Here" a timid voice said behind her as Ally's eyes furrowed watching
Lynne quickly get some cold water and splash it against Ally's reddened
hand. As the pain eased from the dripping cool water their eyes connected.
Lynne looked how Ally felt...awful..

"Thanks" Ally mumbled as the pain eased and she picked up her coffee as
Lynne gave her a quick friendly nod and watched Ally make her way to the
table in the corner of the staff room.
Ally sighed as she poured the sugar into her coffee watching it quickly
dissolve..she was tired and moody and hated when her and Katie fought
maybe Ally could catch up with her wife later.

Ally wasn't prepared to apologise for doing her job, she was a nurse. She
was given orders by her boss to scrub into surgery yesterday and that's
what she did.

How was she to know before she scrubbed in that it was her wife's patient
unconscious on the table or that when Lynne had successfully removed the
entire tumour in Mr. Kah's bowel that he would haemorrhage and die within
minutes.

"Mind if I sit" Lynne mumbled looking at the spare chair next to Ally.

"I don't think.."

"Please" Lynne begged "I could really do with a friendly face to talk to
right about now" Lynne's darkened eyes pleaded with the brunette.

Ally nodded as she pulled out the chair allowing the surgeon to sit down. It
was strange seeing the usual cocky Lynne sat her almost in tears as she
hugged her mug of coffee between her hands.

"You have difficulty sleeping then too" Ally asked the shattered looking
surgeon who smiled and gave a quick nod.

"I just can't believe what happened" Lynne mumbled.

"Well maybe next time you should listen to your colleagues" Ally blurted out
a little too harshly as she watched Lynne's face crushed with pain.

"Sorry" she mumbled as Lynne shook her head.

"I deserved that" Lynne sighed pushing her coffee away, it was the last
thing she wanted.

"I'm sorry for getting you dragged into this, if I had known what was going
to happen I would not have operated" Lynne sniffed as Ally actually felt
sorry for her.

"Hey" Ally said placing her hand on Lynne's leg.

"This wasn't your fault, yeh you did a really shitty thing by performing it
without telling Katie OR meee for that matter but you weren't to know that
the aneurysm was going to burst when you were closing up, it could have
happened at anytime and you did your best" Ally said as she patted Lynne's
thigh and quickly removed her hand. Lynne remained quiet for a few
moments while Ally sipped her coffee. Katie's harsh words haunted her and
made her feel nauseous, the whole thing was one big mess.

"How's Katie" Lynne finally broke her silence as Ally's eyes shot her a
sarcastic glare.

"That bad" Lynne asked with a gently smile

"You have no idea" Ally smirked taking another sip of her coffee.

"Apparently I'm a cold blooded murderer" Ally sighed as the words began
to hurt even more now, her wife spoke to her like that. So much for working
things out together and being together but anything work related came first.

There was no us when it came to work, there was only Katie and her career
and nothing could come between that. Not even listening to what Ally had to
say about the whole situation. Now it was Lynne's turn to check if she was
ok.Lynne's hand consoled her thigh as the surgeon looked at Ally..

"Hey now who's the one who looks like she's going to cry like a baby"
Lynne teased in her strong South African accent.

"I'm sorry for getting you involved that was wrong of me, it won't happen
again..I can assure you" Lynne added

"And besides, we could always be bunk buddies in jail" Lynne smiled as

Ally began to laugh. They both laughed, sure they were both distraught over
what happened but Ally knew her and Lynne had something in common.
They were mourning the death of one of their patients and both felt guilty
but were beginning to understand that despite both of them feeling guilty for
how things turned out. There was nothing that could have been done,
whether Mr. Kah had gotten his tumour removed or not he was still one day
short of his surgery with Katie.

"What the fuck" Katie gritted through her teeth as Lynne and Ally
flinched....
 Chapter 13

"Ow ow ow ow" Ally groaned as Shel apologised helping her to a chair in

the waiting room of the hospital.

"My clutz of a mate over there decided to kick a radiator after a domestic
with her other half..she needs to be seen" Rach declared to the receptionist
who's eyes furrowed as she began clicking on her computer.

"Her name" the dry toned woman asked

"Alison Harris" Rach chirped "no wait" she held a T shape with her hands
and she twirled around to look at the brunette who was wincing in pain.

"Ally...are you Alison Harris or Alison Thomas" Rach asked as Ally glared
at her

"Harris" Ally gritted through her teeth..she had spent an hour after Katie
stormed out of her flat crying into her pillow..the pain in her heart from
Katie and the pain from kicking the stupid radiator in fury. It was only when
she stopped sobbing and noticed how swollen and red her foot had actually
became that she knew she needed to go to get it checked. So Rach and Shel
carried her 2 blocks down towards the tube station before finally calling in
defeat when Rach called Ally a fat bitch and said she couldn't carry her
anymore, they flagged a taxi to the hospital. Rach insisted on calling Katie
several times to which Ally snapped a short and harsh no...

"You heard the lady" Rach replied removing her T shape gesture with her
hands she was back in the game answering questions. After giving the rest
of the details Rach joined her best mate and girlfriend as she watched the
sweat begin to drip from Ally's forehead..the girl was in pain..Ally never
liked to trouble people when it came to her own health..she was a
nurse..helping sick people is what she does but when it came to her own
health she didn't like to fuss..Rach learnt this about her flat mate only a
month after the brunette moved in with her..she hadn't seen much of Ally
for a few days except hearing the constant door slamming between Ally's
room and the bathroom door. Rach knew something wasn't quite right. They
were still only acquaintances not quite met the friend status but yet they
shared their common interests of French wine and watching reruns of
Friends every night. Rach thought it was only right she checked on
Ally..after a few knocks on the bathroom door with no reply she opened the
door to the fresh smell of vomit in the air as a half dead Ally cradle the
toilet bowl on the floor..turns out Ally wasn't the best nurse for looking after
herself..she ended up spending the night in this very same A&E department
getting fluids flushed into her for a viral infection she had pick up in work a
few days before. Ally knew after a night of vomiting and shitting in front of
Rach that they would soon skip the friends status and become the very best
of friends to where they are now..Rach holding Ally's leg well above her
shoulder

"I seen this on casualty babe..above heart level" Rach beamed keeping
Ally's leg rested on her shoulder. Despite the crippling pain in her foot Ally
managed a weak smile god she loved this girl.

"Come on it's been an hour and she still hasn't gotten anything for the
pain...she fucking works here for god sake doesn't she get some staff ticket
straight through to the hard drugs" Rach waffled on as the stern faced
receptionist didn't look one bit amused by the hippie.

"I'll pass on that riveting request to the doctor but until then she will just
have to wait her turn" the lady replied dropping her gaze back to her
computer screen as Rach remained standing in her spot not taking her eyes
off the receptionist.

"Can I help you with something else" the receptionist finally asked after
ignoring Rach for two solid minutes. Rach glanced around at where Ally
was sitting..her eyes clamped shut with the pain as Shel stroked Ally's hair
as a sign of comfort. Ally would kill her for this but thank her in the long
term if it meant she could get her hands on some drugs to dampen the pain.

"Yeh you can actually...I need you to ring Ms. Thomas she some fancy
surgeon here" Rach kept her voice low enough that the receptionist could
just about hear her.

"Please just do it" Rach added ignoring the ladies disapproving look..

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" Ally squealed bolting her body up as the porter

wheeled into a private cubicle in A&E on her way back from just getting an
X-ray. Rach held her phone pointing at her friend who was clearly enjoying
whatever injection and pills the nurse had given her prescribed by the
doctor as soon as he assessed Ally's foot.

"Rach stop" Shel warned her girlfriend pushing the recording phone away
from Ally who was now rubbing her pillow as though it was Egyptian
cotton.

"She is gonna wanna see this in 10 years time" Rach laughed as she
continued to record her friends strange yet amusing behaviour.

"I'll go get us some coffee she'll need it when she comes down from her
high" Rach giggled as she finally snapped her phone back into her pocket.
Walking around the department as she squirmed looking a people with
bloody heads and nosey or their limbs wrapped in blood soaked towels and
bandages there's no way she could stomach being a doctor or nurse.

Clasping two cups of coffee she headed back towards Ally and Shel

"Rach...where...where is she" Katie snapped Rach from her daze as she held
onto the dred locked girl's elbow.

"Oh heeeeey doc" Rach chirped as a panicked Katie continued to grip her
elbow
"Where is she" Katie asked looking around the war zone of the emergency
department.

"She's over here" Rach replied nodding her head towards the corridor as
they began to walk

"Is she ok...what happened" Katie asked as she followed quickly behind

"She's fine..chill babe..thanks for sorting out that moody bitch out
front..Ally was in an awful way but now she's different" Rach smirked as
they approached the closed curtain

"Different how" Katie frowned as they had reach their destination

"You caaaaaaaame back" Ally cheered as she clapped her hands together
excited to see a giggling Rach who stepped next to her girlfriend. Ally's
smile dropped as she glared at Katie who stood at the end of her bed..she
placed her fingers gently over her wife's swollen foot which rested on a
stack of pillows.

"What happened Al" Katie asked softly as she continued to sooth the
reddened skin..the curtain pulled back as an Asian man in his forties held
the material greeting all four girls

"Miss Harris" he said as Ally shifted uncomfortably wincing but succeeding

in removing Katie's delicate fingers from her foot. Ally's eyes remained
fixated on Katie who's lip twitched as she listened to the doctor say her
maiden name..it confused Ally to why Katie was here...they had done but
argued and had mind blowing sex since Katie had came back into her life
but she hated herself for how angry Katie had become.

"Ms Thomas" he gave Katie a quick nod and shook her hand before
glancing down at Ally's medical notes.

"Thank you for seeing Ally so quick" Katie smiled as Ally glared at her and
then at Rach..Katie knew after their heated debate earlier that day, that it
was Rach who was asking for the favour of getting Ally seen ASAP and not
Ally wanting her wife to be by her side.
"So Alison" he skimmed over the X-ray report

"It's Ally" she replied allowing her face to soften as she remained feeling
woozy from the pills resting her head back against the pillow.

"It seems you have broken a couple of bones in your foot" he spoke
studying her notes "you said you kicked a radiator is that correct" he asked
as Rach laughed silently loving every minute of this.

"Yehhhh" Ally sighed as Katie looked at her in disbelief

"You will require a minor surgery to help the bones promote healing and
will be in a cast for a few weeks I'm afraid" he gave Ally a sympathetic look
as he closed over her notes.

"I'll arrange a slot for you in the morning, in the mean time get some rest
and don't kick any more radiators" he smirked giving her a quick hand
shake.

"Thanks Sam" Katie smiled "I'll walk with you" she added giving Ally a
quick glance and pushing exiting the cubicle.

"Why the bloody hell did you ring her for" Ally snapped as Rach still
amused at her friends stupidity.

"She's youuuuuur wifey remember" Rach mocked as she flicked her finger
against Ally's head causing the brunette to grunt in frustration "Besides
she's like top dog in this place" Rach added looking around the room.

"I just want to go home" Ally sniffed feeling embarrassed about the whole
thing as her happy pills were beginning to wear off. Katie returned
moments later her blank expression Ally really didn't understand why she
was here.

"You ok" Katie asked as Ally nodded twisting the sheet between her fingers

"Just a little woozy from all the tablets" Ally mumbled "listen sorry Rach
bothered you but you really didn't have to come thanks for speeding things
up..you can go back to work now" Ally added a little more dryly. Before
Katie could react nurse came to check Ally's blood pressure and ask a few
questions

"We won't be long and Alison but unfortunately two of you will have to
leave, only one visitor per patient" the nurse said staring at the three girls
who all remained silent staring at one another.

"Right...bye babes..best of luck" Rach blurted out placing a quick kiss on

the brunette and dragged her girlfriend quickly out of the cubicle before
Ally could protest. Katie smiled as she gave the girls a quick wave as they
hurried down the corridor and out of site. Ally sighed as she remained silent
as she rested her head back against the pillow once again wishing she was
anywhere else but here..

That night Ally had been moved to a private room as she was bed bound
waiting for her surgery the next morning. She knew just because she was a
surgeon's wife she was getting the very best of care. Her own room, surgery
on a Sunday morning, whatever she wanted she was going to get. The
conversation between her and Katie had fizzled out and Katie had excused
herself when Mark one of the Orthopaedic surgeons had come down to chat
with Ally. Rach had phoned to make sure Ally was ok and promised she
would come see her the next day after the surgery. Katie had walked in mid
conversation and held flowers and a bag of goodies as she placed them on
the end of Ally's bed.

"Listen Rach I've got to go but I should be discharged tomorrow evening if

all goes well and since you are technically my NOK pick me up ok" Ally
said holding the phone close to her ear.

"No I can do that" Katie interrupted as there was an awkward silence, Rach
sighed on the other end of the phone and mumbled give her a chance before
ending the conversation. Ally placed her phone on the bedside locker as
Katie took a seat next to her bed.

"Did you sign your consent" Katie asked changing the subject, she wasn't
going to push Ally about after the surgery but she was determined to be the
one taking Ally home the next day.

"Yeh" Ally sighed

"Did you get an ECG" Katie questioned playing with her fingers "and
bloods" she quizzed

"I can do them now..just to make sure"

"Katie relax" Ally laughed at how fidgety her wife was getting "They're all
done...relax ok" she nodded as Katie took a deep breath and gave a quick
nod.

"Why'd you do it" Katie asked as her eyes connected with Ally's

"Why'd you think" Ally sighed remembering how nauseous she felt
listening to Katie shouting fuck you and slamming the front door.

"It was stupid I know...I'm never going to live this down kicking a bloody
radiator and breaking my foot..but I was so angry...so fucking angry at you
Katie" Ally snapped knowing her tears were close she was emotionally
drained. Katie nodded as her eyes dropped to her fidgeting hands..they were
becoming people they couldn't recognise anymore and a serious talk was in
need.

"Listen Katie thank you for everything but really there was no need" Ally
smiled at the brunette, breaking the tension in the air.

"Al you're my wife of course I did" Katie replied as Ally shook her head in
frustration.

"You can't say that" Ally snapped as Katie frowned in confusion

"Say what" Katie asked

"I'm your wife and that you care..it's fine ok I get it" Ally replied holding
back her tears, after the day she had crying in front of Katie was the last
thing she was about to do.
"Of course I care" Katie snapped her short temper flaring despite being
worried sick when she got the call earlier that day that Ally was brought in,
she hated how Ally could say things like this.

"I'm not in the mood for round 2 ok" Ally shot back rolling her eyes

"Then stop acting like a bitch" Katie snapped getting to her feet. Both girls
sighed in frustration, they brought the worst out in each other but on the
other hand they couldn't live without one another.

"It's been a long day and I'm tired..I think you should go" Ally said as she
faced towards the window allowing a single tear to fall. She couldn't do this
with Katie..not when she was bed bound and had other things to worry
about. She waited until Katie had finally given up and picked up her bag
leaving the brunette there to cry herself to sleep....

***

"What the fuck" Katie snapped as Ally and Lynne flinched to the angered
tone causing Ally to slide her chair away slightly.

"Hey babe" Ally smiled nervously giving Lynne a quick glance who
appeared uncomfortable as Katie stood glaring at both of them.

"What the hell are you doing here...you should be suspended" Katie
snapped ignoring her wife and glaring at the blonde who kept quiet.

"I should go" Lynne mumbled as she went to stand, Ally's slender fingers
grasped around her wrist encouraging her to stay.

"Sit down Lynne" Ally said softly as she glared at her wife.

"Katie chill ok we were just having coffee" Ally smiled picking up her cup to
prove her point

"Why the hell was that murderer holding my wife thigh and giggling when
she should be locked away" Katie shot back as Ally rolled her eyes. Lynne
got to her feet as she mumbled a quick good bye to Ally and kept her eyes
firmly to the ground as she shot past Katie before she could say another
thing. Ally groaned as she racked her fingers through her thick brown hair
before tying it back up into a messy bun. She knew Katie was bubbling with
anger and now wasn't the time to tell her off for being rude. Ally collected
the near empty cups and stood placing them in a nearby bin and began
making her way towards the exit.

"Hey" Katie said softly reaching for her wife's hand stopping her from
leaving, Ally sighed as she turned to face her wife.

"I'm sorry for how I spoke to you last night..What I called you was wrong
and horrible..I'm just so angry about what's after happening Ally" Katie
said as her tone became harsher

"I was just doing my job" Ally snapped as she removed her hand from her
wife's grip, it was going to take a lot more than an apology to get on Ally's
good side again.

"Baby I know that now...I'm angry at that stupid bitch and took it out on you
and I'm sorry..Please I need you" Katie begged as she placed her hands on
her wife's hips, Ally rolled her eyes as she snaked her arms around Katie's
neck.

"I don't want you near Lynne" Katie warned as Ally placed teasing kisses
against her wife's neck "I mean it babe..I don't trust her and I don't like her
putting her hands on you" she added as Ally laughed placing a sloppy kiss
on Katie's cheek and stepping out of her grip.

"She's upset Katie..I know what she did was wrong but she's a stubborn
surgeon like you, she thought she was doing the right thing" Ally replied
hoping Katie wouldn't kick off again. Katie breathed out her anger as she
gazed as her wife, she knew Ally always saw the good in people. She had
been a bitch to Ally last night and pushed her wife into Lynne's dirty paws
this morning there was no way she was about to kick no matter how much
she wanted to shake sense into her wife about Lynne and how much Lynne
fucked up yesterday.

"I'm so lucky to have you" Katie smiled grasping her wife between her
snaking arms as she planted kisses around a squealing Ally's face....
After walking Ally out to her car at the end of her shift, Katie apologised
profusely to her wife. Katie was still furious over yesterday but she was
good at putting up a front to her wife waving her off and promising to make
it up to her that night, Katie quickly raced back into work. Banging on
Lynne Robson's office door she didn't even wait for her a welcoming in as
she barged through the door.

"Ms Thomas" Lynne smiled as she sat back in her office chair "to what do I
owe this pleasure". Katie slammed the office door as she walked further
into the office.

"I know what you are fucking up to and you won't get away with it" Katie
threatened as Lynne laughed.

"If you are talking about Mr. Kah that genuinely was a mistake and I feel
awful but let's face it Thomas he had no hope with that aneurysm" Lynne
said as she remained relaxed sitting in her chair.

"You shouldn't have done it without my consent..he was my patient and you
killed him" Katie snapped.

"Ah Ah that's where you are wrong" Lynne warned as she leaned forward
onto her desk pointing her finger at a confused Katie.

"You killed him" Lynne accused as she stood up and slowly began to walk
around her large desk as she continued to talk

"You had two weeks to perform that surgery Thomas and you didn't"

"I had picked the date for today Lynne, there was no free slot to perform it
sooner" Katie replied

"Ah but as his Surgeon you should have prioritised his care, he should have
had that surgery sooner but that's all down to you Thomas" Lynne sneered
as she pointed the finger again

"This is your fault that man bled to death on my table so don't start calling
me a murderer around here or pretty soon your wifey is going to be taking
my side" Lynne laughed as Katie's hands clenched.

"Gave her a right performance this morning, could have even got a cop of
those luscious tits if you hadn't have interrupted our little heart to heart in
the staff room" Lynne smirked

"You fucking bitch" Katie snapped as her arm rose to the other surgeon.
Her fist clenched all she had to do was whack the whore a smack and be
gone. Lynne flinched but her evil smirk remained on her face, this is what
Lynne wanted..a reaction from Katie so she could run along like the
innocent victim to Ally and make Katie out to be an even bigger bitch than
she was already being portrayed as..Katie lowered her arm as she quickly
exited the office ignoring the sly remarks coming from the office as she
made her way down the corridor.

Maybe she was to blame for his death, maybe what Lynne said was
right..Katie began to panic..her own professional judgement she knew Mr.
Kah wasn't stable enough for such a big surgery and that's why she
suspended it for two weeks but then again two weeks was a long time..she
was blaming Lynne for Mr. Kah's death but perhaps it was actually her fault
that the man was now dead...
 Chapter 14

Ally rested back against the pillow on the trolley as she was being wheeled
down an all too familiar corridor. She was normally the one chatting away
to the patients about the news or the weather as the nurse who was looking
after her was doing now she soon realised that none of her patients were
actually interested in what Ally was saying.

She was nervous even though it was only an operation on her foot, she was
still nervous..she had cried herself to sleep after Katie had left last
night..only managing to drift off for a couple of hours before spending the
remainder of the night wide awake staring out onto the city lights. She was
mad a Katie yet she craved having her around, were they ever going to get
past were they were now..snapping and fighting with one another..an
argument riling Ally up so much she had managed to break her fucking foot
by kicking the stupid radiator in her flat.

"You alright Ally bear" Tim asked glancing down at her as he wheeled her
towards the theatre. Tim was an elderly porter who she knew well who
transferred many of her patients back to recover or back to their wards. She
gave him a soft smile as she nodded.

"Well look who it is" Sandra beamed as she glanced down at the brunette
"how you doing pet" she asked sympathetically as she held onto Ally's
hand.

"Mortified" Ally mumbled as Sandra just smiled knowing that the entire
operating staff were fully aware of Ally's admission.

"Theatre 3 Tim" Sandra said following the trolley into the spacious sterile
room.
"Right guys you know the drill..5 minutes before Mr. Jones will be here"
Charlotte one of the orthopaedic scrub nurses declared giving Ally a quick
wink and busying herself with preparing equipment.

"I'll see you in recover sweetie don't worry it'll be over before you know it"
Sandra said as she placed a small kiss on the brunettes forehead. she
watched as Sandra's face lit up as Sandra's eyes remained fixated towards
the door.

"About time you got her" Ally's boss said as she headed for the door leaving
the brunette to turn and see Katie stood by the theatre door, scrubs on and a
surgical mask covering half of her face. The staff were scurrying around the
theatre each preparing their own duties as Katie made her way over to her
wife.

"Hey how you doing" Katie asked softly pulling down her mask to her chin
as she gripped onto the bed railing..Ally's eyes connecting with the
sparkling rings on Katie's left hand caused a jolt of excitement race through
Ally's body.

She was still annoyed with Katie's snappy behaviour over the past few days
but who was Ally kidding of course she was excited to see Katie was
actually stood here and wearing her wedding ring.

"What are you doing here" is all Ally could manage as her eyes remained
fixed on the sparkling band that wrapped Katie's slender finger.

"You didn't actually think I was not going to show up did you" Katie
frowned..her face displayed hurt rather than the anger she had been
displaying the past few days.

"Thanks I know I haven't said it but it means a lot you being here" Ally
sighed as she played with her wrist band. She chewed her lip as she reached
under her gown..maybe deep down she knew Katie would turn up or she
just took a chance but she revealed her long chain that her own wedding
band and engagement ring dangled from.
She had kept it around her neck the past few days. It was comfort to her the
past few days even if Katie had been keeping her distance. Katie smiled
warmly as she helped the brunette take the chain off and let it drop into her
own hand. They remained quiet for a moment while the staff prepared the
machines around Ally.

"I've been a real shit this week Ally" Katie mumbled as she held onto the
chain tightly

"I've said stuff that I don't mean and I'm sorry" she added making eye
contact with Ally's worried brown eyes as she entwined their baby fingers
together.

"Me too" Ally sighed playing with Katie's fingers.

"I'm sorry I stormed out yesterday morning..I should have known better
than to annoy you like that and now look you can't even walk" Katie
mumbled

"We've got a lot to talk about and sort out" she added as Ally nodded finally
they could agree on something.

"Listen I've been thinking..and I know you are going to think I'm crazy but
I've really thought about it and think it will be good for you..for me..for us"
Katie stuttered and Ally smirked at how her wife stumbled her words when
she was nervous

"Katie just say whatever you got to say" Ally laughed as Katie shot her a
glare before taking a deep breath.

"I think you should move in with me" Katie blurted out as Ally's eyes
widened.

"I know it sounds crazy but I think it's a good idea..just until you get back
on your feet..it will do us good..I don't mean live live together..just..just let
me help you and let's work things out" Katie said trying to make sense of
what she was saying.
"Ally you ready" Charlotte beamed as she began connecting the brunette to
the heart monitor.

"Just think about it while you eh sleep..yeh" Katie smiled causing the Ally
to laugh.

"I'll be right here with you ok" Katie smiled as she leaned down placing a
sweet and short kiss on the brunettes lips....

**

"Babe it's ok" a breathless Ally panted as her wife lay on top of her, so it
was the first time they were having trouble in the bedroom department but
Katie was determined to please her wife and judging by the recent moans
and shuddering of her wife's body she had succeeded but here she was..her
gorgeous wife beneath her and she couldn't focus.

Katie couldn't focus on how good Ally felt inside her, how sweet the kisses
Ally placed on her neck encouraging her to let go. Katie sighed as Ally
shifted their bodies in the bed allowing herself to be on top as pinned Katie
beneath her, sucking her neck as she caressed Katie's tone soft skin.

Katie snapped her eyes shut, what the fuck was wrong with her..she loved
sex...especially loved sex with Ally but all she kept thinking about was that
smug faced Lynne and what had happened last week in Lynne's office.

Lynne had turned the whole thing back on Katie. Katie felt guilty even
though the coroner had ruled out any fault, the man was a dying man and
there wasn't much either surgeon could do for him but Katie begged to
differ.

She felt guilty after what Lynne had said maybe if Katie had done the
surgery sooner he would be recovering now and not 6 feet under. That
wasn't the only thing that was bugging her, Lynne's smug face when she
spoke about Ally.

Lynne had Ally wrapped around her finger, pretending to be mourning and
saddened by Mr. Kah's death it enraged Katie how Lynne could use an
innocent man's death to make herself out to be grief stricken as she used
Ally for comfort.

Ally and Katie had already clashed over Lynne previous days before but
Katie thought she would be able to put it behind her for one night. She had
cooked Ally a romantic meal and wooed her into the bedroom and now she
couldn't even relax...she hated herself...

"Al stop" Katie sighed as she unpinned her wrists while her wife's tongue
traced over her navel ignoring her.

"Ally" Katie snapped as she pushed her wife back. Ally sighed as she
straddled her wife, she hated how distant Katie had become since last week.
Ally knew her wife took her patients death badly and it wasn't the first time
has occurred but she was worried about Katie.

Katie had spent longer hours in work this week ensuring all her patients
were ok and rearranging any important surgeries as soon as should get a
free slot in the theatre. Katie had made it clear to Ally she didn't want her
speaking with Lynne and that Lynne was playing her.

Ally knew her wife was protective and jealous at times just like she was but
really Lynne had seem to changed, Lynne seemed upset and frail after what
happened with Mr. Kah and Ally felt like she needed to comfort her having
been there when they lost their patient.

Ally racked her fingers through her wife's dampened hair, studying her wife
she was clueless to what Katie was thinking...what was going on in that
bright head of hers...

"Babe talk to me" Ally whispered as her hand rested against Katie's cheek.
Katie sighed as she held Ally's gaze, she knew the brunette was worried
about her but making love and opening up about her feelings was the last
thing she had on her mind.

"Nothing Al I just have work I need to get done" Katie replied as she pushed
off the bed causing Ally to groan into the sheet she had now wrapped
around her body.
"Katie it's after nine come on, work can wait until the morning" Ally
mumbled as she watched her now dressed wife tying her messy hair into a
bun.

"No it can't" Katie snapped

"I have surgeries to prioritise for next week before 3 surgeries tomorrow"
she added as Ally rolled her eyes.

"It can wait" Ally shot back tightening the sheet around her body feeling
fully exposed.

"No it can't, I have patients to look after" Katie snapped as she headed
straight for the door

"And what about your wife" Ally shouted after but it was too late, Katie was
already out of ear shot. Ally groaned in frustration as she collapsed back on
the bed glancing over at the clock on Katie's bed side locker...the night was
still young...

Ally stomped her way into her living room, after a long hot shower and
change of clothes she was still livid at her wife. She grabbed her jacket as
she plunged each arm into the material and made her way to the full length
mirror by the front door, checking her appearance even she knew she
scrubbed up well.

She had now gotten her wife's full blown attention, who immediately sat up
from her slouching position on the sofa and dropped her laptop on the sofa
nearby.

"Where are you going" Katie asked like a young child asking their mother
where they were going.

"Out" Ally replied dryly applying a layer of lip gloss and giving her wavy
brown locks a toss.
"Out where" Katie asked impatiently as she rose to her feet and walked
around the coffee table.

"I don't know yet, I haven't decided maybe a bar or a club" Ally replied
finally turned to face her wife who now had a face like a slapped arse.

"You are joking right" Katie let out a nervous yet dry laugh. If Ally was
looking for attention she had certainly gotten it now especially dressed like
that. Ally rolled her eyes..something that she knew infuriated her wife to the
max.

Most of time she wasn't aware she was doing it but now she knew what she
was doing as she turned in her knee length boots taking a few steps forward
she knew her tight black jeans hugged her arse and would definitely get her
wife's attention.

"Don't wait up" was Ally said as she swung her bag over her shoulder
opening her front door smirking as she listened to Katie's raised voice
following her trail, she slammed the door shut as she continued to walk
down her drive way and unlocking her car as she climbed into her
convertible BMW , a present she had gotten for her 25th birthday off her
wife.

Her front door opened a few seconds later as Katie stood in disbelief by the
door frame, watching on as Ally reversed out of their drive and within
seconds of revving the 2 litre engine she was gone. Just like that her wife
was gone and she had no idea where or who with...

Ally allowed the remainder of the burning liquid in her glass slide easily
down her throat, she was well and truly pissed by now..pissed drunk and
pissed off at her wife.

It wasn't so much the fact she felt she couldn't please Katie earlier in bed,
which had never in the history of her broad sex life had she ever gotten
complaints from previous partners.
Ally had always received compliments of her loving and adventurous
attitudes in the bedroom department. What pissed Ally off was the fact her
wife wasn't acting like her wife, any issues they ever had they spoke openly
about it but now the past week or so Katie was distant.

Sure Ally knew what happened in work had effected Katie but treating Ally
like a complete stranger wasn't exactly making it easy on either of them.
Katie spent long hours in surgery and then checking her patients post- op
leaving herself exhausted and coming home to spend even more time
catching up on paper work which left Ally sitting watching TV or tossing
and turning in bed alone.

"Can I get another" she mumbled pushing her shot glass towards the bar
man who gave her a sympathetic look and nodded. Her body shuddered as
she watched him pour more tequila into her glass, she had given up on the
salt and lemon an hour ago and worked herself up an expensive tab.

Taking out her phone she glanced over her missed calls...Katie had rung 16
times in the past two hours and Lynne had also rang once..Ally sighed, she
had given Lynne her number on Tuesday after Lynne approached her crying
along once of the corridors and explained to the surgeon to call her
whenever she needed to talk to someone..m

Ally felt a weird connection to Lynne maybe she felt like she had to protect
the surgeon from Katie knowing her wife was on a warpath or maybe it was
that she knew how Lynne was feeling..they were both there when Mr. Kah
died, both watched as his blood pressure and heart rate drop within
seconds, both performed CPR as his bled to death.

Ally grumbled a quick thank you as the barman slid another tequila in front
of her, her eyes fixated on her phone..she quickly knocked back her drink
and clicked the call button after 3 rings an eager voice answered.

"Hey" Ally sniffed placing the shot glass onto the bar.

"Can you come pick me, I'm at The old navy bar" she cried as she nodded
to her response and quickly hung up the phone.

xxxx

Ally's back collided with the unfamiliar wall as her heart raced, she
groaned in pain as her neck was being sucked harshly..she knew it would
leave a mark and that's the last thing she wanted..

"Don't leave a mark" she moaned as her hands became entangled in the
long locks..her eyes flickered open to the timid light in the corridor of the
bar..the rush of excitement and tequila has made her head become
fuzzy..feeling a tongue now brush against her ear..she felt weak at knees

"We shouldn't be doing this" she moaned at the sudden realisation that this
wasn't the time or place for what was about to happen as she felt her belt
buckle being tugged open along with the buttons of her black skinny jeans..

"It's fine" a whisper tickled her earlobe as Ally yelped feeling teeth bite
down hard against her skin as an eager hand slipped quickly past her damp
underwear.

"You're so wet"

"Jesus" Ally groaned as she two familiar fingers force into her causing her
further against the wall.
"No not Jesus it's your wife" Katie mumbled against Ally's neck as she
quicken her pace..listening to her wife's moans she was secretly relieved
that it was her who was sucking on her wife's neck in the corridor of the old
navy bar..Katie had felt angry and nauseous when she seen her wife storm
out of their house earlier that night..Ally's tight skinny jeans and low cut
grey top paired off with knee high boots..Ally really did look sexy and Katie
feared how angry and confident Ally had stormed off earlier that night...she
trusted Ally of course she did but when your wife is as hot as hers, there
was always something in the back of her mind..Something that made her
feel on edge..how beautiful and smart Ally was, Katie knew a lot of people
thought the same as she did and she sometimes she feared she would never
be enough for Ally.

"I'm sorry about earlier" Katie panted.

"Shhhhhhhh" Ally hushed as she pulled Katie's face back to her neck riding
against her wife's touch...Katie smiled against her skin as began sucking
hard on her neck once again.

"Babe you know I love that but...Jesus" Ally gasped at her wife's movement
"you can't leave a mark..I've got work" she moaned as Katie removed her
lips and jerked up capturing Ally's lips..it didn't take long before Ally could
feel herself about to cum...the pent up frustration of her wife's
behaviour..she was certainly making up for it now..

Ally had phoned Katie in tears asking her to come pick her up..Katie slid
into the bar stool next to her wife 20 minutes later..they remained quiet as
Katie entwined their fingers on the bar..Ally sniffed silently not flinching to
her wife's touch, Katie quickly took her wife in her arms

"I love you" Katie whispered against her wife's hairline as the smell of
tequila hit her nostrils she knew Ally had consumed quite a lot.

"I'm so drunk" Ally mumbled as her arm snaked around her wife's
waist..suddenly feeling angry or alone had washed away as Katie held
her..this is what she craved..her wife's comfort after a long day at work and
to feel loved.
"Nooooo really??" Katie joked as Ally's face came to meet hers..Katie
smiled at her wife..she wasn't having a hard time and wished she could just
open up to her wife but right now she just needed to get through this on her
own..she needed to get Lynne away from her wife for good.

"I'm glad you called me..I was starting to worry about you" Katie licked her
lip as she brushed the strands of Ally's hair back from her face. Leaning
forward she kissed her wife softly, she could taste the mixture of salt and
tequila on her wife's lips. Katie moaned into Ally's mouth as her wife's
tongue brushed against her own, Ally's hands found her wife's neck as she
pulled her impossibly close allowing her tongue to battle for dominance...if
there was one thing tequila done to Ally beside make her exceptionally
drunk to the point of blacking out if consumed enough she also became
horny as hell. She could Katie was with her now..unlike earlier in bed when
she knew Katie was physically with her but her mind elsewhere..Katie's
tongue battling with her own she had her wife's full attention...

"Let's go home" Katie ushered as her eyes darkened looking at her wife
with lust, Ally crashed their lips together for a short passionate kiss and she
shook her head..

"I can't wait that long" Ally whispered her eyes diverting to the barman who
was changing a barrel at the end of the empty bar and clueless to what was
going on behind him. Ally swayed to her feet with her wife's protective arms
and yanked Katie to her feet, pulling her to the toilets sign at the other end
of the bar....

And so here they were..Ally's muscles contracting as she groaned into her
wife's mouth..Shuddering with sheer pleasure of Katie's hard and quickened
pace inside..

"Let go" Katie growled ignoring the tiredness of her arm she watched Ally's
body react to her words as Ally's body jerked with her release and slid back
against the wall..Katie held her wife for support watching Ally's face was
worth it every time...Katie loved how vocal Ally was...how husky her voice
became when she wanted Katie to touch her but most of all she love how
sexy her wife's pleasured face was..Ally would bite down hard on her lip as
her eye brows furrowed..Those moans that escaped her mouth was almost
enough to send Katie over the edge...

"God you're amazing" Ally groaned her eye flickering lazy the alcohol and
sex had well and truly made her woozy..

"No not God..like I said earlier..your wife" Katie smirked as she placed a
quick kiss on Ally's sticky forehead. They had been married over a year and
still the sound of Katie talking about being her wife made Ally's heart melt.
After a few moments of kisses and staring at one another a devilish look
came over Ally as she checked the coast remained clear..pushing herself off
the wall she flipped her wife's body around within seconds she had Katie
pressed against the wall as she began attacking her neck. Katie sighed as
she felt her throbbing for Ally's touch..Although she enjoyed making Ally
come..Katie on the other hand was sober as a judge and climaxing in the
back of a dingey bar was the last thing on her mind..it was bad enough she
couldn't concentrate at home in her own bed but against the corridor next
to the toilets was the last place she wanted to be right now..she was
exhausted..all she wanted was to get Ally home and spoon her and catch
some zzz's. She had a meeting first thing tomorrow morning with some of
the other surgeons and it was now already after 2am.

"Baby as much as I want this..I think we should go home" Katie moaned as

her words burned Ally like a hot poker. Ally pushed her palms off the wall
as she stepped back from her flustered wife.

"Al it's late...you're drunk and we've got work tomorrow" Katie added as
she reached forward looping her fingers under Ally's belt and slowly tugged
the brunette towards her. If there wasn't anything that fucked Ally right off
was being accused of being drunk even though there was a 99.9% chance
she was it still didn't mean Ally liked being told she was drunk especially by
her wife who rarely drank...so what if she was drunk she was 25 and unlike
Katie who spent years of college studying medicine...Ally had spent the
majority of her Uni years in bed nursing her hangovers after downing shots
and vodka the nights before..she skimmed her way through Uni and frankly
just because she was qualified and working it wasn't going to stop her from
enjoying boozy night outs...she would work her 4 longs days in work
looking after sick people so what was stopping her from enjoying a well
deserved drink or ten..so yeh as you can tell at this point Ally was fucked
off..she wanted to scream in her wife's face and call her every name under
the sun..tell her to just get back against that wall so Ally could fuck her
brains out like they used to..but it wasn't worth it..already getting a slight
hangover from the tequila Ally wasn't isn't the mood for another
argument..she thought by getting Katie to come here tonight and pick her up
that her wife would see she missed her..wanted her to let go of work for one
night and just be Katie. Ally ached inside as she plastered a weak smile on
her face as she nodded..taking Katie's hand in her own she lead them out of
the bar as Katie threw more than enough cash to pay off her wife's tab as
Ally grumbled a thank you she didn't argue when Katie diverted her to
Katie's Audi, leaving her own car parked up in the bar car park for the
night. They remained silent as Katie drove home holding her wife's
thigh..Ally clamped her eyes shut holding back the tears. Twice in one night
she felt rejected by her wife..as soon as they entered their home Katie gave
Ally a quick kiss on the cheek saying she'd meet her in bed in a few
minutes...Ally sighed climbing into bed her head now banging from the
tequila she felt slight nausea as she hit the light off...still waiting for the
empty space beside her to be filled..she eventfully drifted off to sleep
knowing she was waiting for the impossible....

**

The faint sound of a heart monitor and voices woke Ally as she felt
something covering her mouth..her eyes flickered open groggily as she
squinted at the bright lights above her head..she herself had worked in the
recovery room the odd shift here and there when Sandra had it in for her for
being late and now was beginning to pick up on things she needed to
improve as herself being a nurse..she was done with the weather chatting
before her patients surgeries and was now going to focus on comforting her
patient in telling they are going to be ok..sure they were worried about
being put to sleep but they were in good hands and now she was definitely
going to get on to Sandra about getting rid of those fucking lights that were
blinding her now..Ally tugged the oxygen mask off her face as she sat up
feeling a bit too woozy..she watched as Sandra and Katie sat nearby
chatting but soon had gotten their attention as she removed the finger probe
allowing it to fall to the ground with the alarms raising.
"Hey now sleepy head they're expensive" Sandra pointed her finger and she
raced to pick up the finger probe. Katie was by her side within seconds
reaching for the oxygen mask.

"Hey how you feeling" Katie asked softly relief washing over herself it
made Ally smile..she had only had foot surgery not a triple bypass but it
was still cute how Katie was worrying about her.

"Like I've had 2 bottles of tequila and been smashed over the head with the
empties" Ally replied rubbing her eyes as Sandra snatched her free hand.

"Get that back on" she ordered as Ally rolled her eyes catching her wife's
smirking stare who nodded in agreement.

"She's right you know" Katie smiled as she replaced the oxygen mask with
nasal prongs holding them out for Ally.

"You've only had a general anaesthetic don't think you are any different to
any of my other patients Alison" Sandra tutted as she studied the monitor,
Ally's heart rate and o2 sats all remained above average.

"See I don't even need the oxygen" Ally pointed out as it was her wife's turn
to roll her eyes..she knew Ally was the worst patient in the world..Ally
knew too much having being a nurse and frankly that pissed everyone off
that had to look after her and her stubborn ways.

"Alison" Sandra warned

"It's been roughly 2 minutes since I've woken up and ventilating on room
air and my sats are 98% I think I'm fine to breathe on my own since I've
been doing it for nearly 27 years now" Ally replied smartly as she removed
her two hands out of the two women's grasp and folded them across her
chest.

"She's all yours Ms Thomas" Sandra huffed as she gave Katie a nod and
Ally a dirty look stomping back over to the nurses' station.
"You know you've pissed her off" Katie warned as she pulled a nearby chair
close to Ally's bed, dropping the oxygen tubing she left it close by but be
damned was she going to ask Ally to put it on again..they were only starting
to get along again...

"Any pain" Katie asked resting her chin in her palm as she leaned closely to
Ally. Ally shook her head as she glanced under her blanket noticing her
right leg bandaged up.

"It's stiff more than anything else" Ally replied. "How'd it go" she asked as
Katie's eyes lit up.

"Very well actually...took about an hour but Sam said you had a great pair
of legs on you" Katie teased referring to Mr. Jones the head of orthopaedic
surgery who had operated on Ally's leg.

"Well he wouldn't be first" Ally winked back causing her wife to give her a
playful slap on the arm as Ally's fingers purposely found Katie's.

"Thank you" Ally whispered playing with her wife's fingers as Katie
chewed her bottom lip, she slowly leaned towards the brunette.

"Harris you can piss off back down to the ward now" Gem one of the
recovery nurses declared as she looked up from her nursing notes mortified
as her eyes clapped on Katie.

"Ms Thomas...sorry I eh...I didn't see you there" Gem blushed as Ally began
to laugh.

"Ms Thomas here isn't just a surgeon Gem, she also happens to be my
wife..so watch what you say around her yeh" Ally laughed as Gem gasped
giving Ally a smirky look and excused herself. Ally laughed as she watched
Gem leave the room promptly, she was definitely one up on embarrassing
the hell out of her co-worker. Katie remained silent as Ally's eyes connected
with hers..

"Whats up" Ally asked puzzled to Katie sudden quietness as a small smile
crept on the surgeon face.
"That's the first time you've introduced me as your wife since I came back"
Katie said as she looked liked she was about to burst into tears of joy. Ally
shrugged not realising it as a huge grin appeared on Katie's face. Ally's eyes
rolled as she gave her grinning wife a playful push..

"Any pain or discomfort" one of the nurses back on the ward asked Ally as
she settled back into her room.

"No I'm fine thanks" Ally smiled as she removed the blood pressure cuff
from her arm handing it back to the nurse. She could sense the nurse was
nervous whether it was around Ally or the fact that a surgeon also happened
to be in the room..Although still new to the hospital, Katie knew a lot of the
staff from her ward rounds after theatre.

"If you need anything Alison let me know" the nurse smiled carrying her
folder as she began to leave.

"Ms Thomas" the nurse nodded giving Katie a bashful smile as Katie gave
her a friendly wave.

"Ms Thomas" Ally mimicked the nurse's flirty tone.

"Leave her alone" Katie replied casually like it was nothing new to her.

"You just looooove having nurses drool over you whether they're gay or
straight" Ally teased

"Not my fault I've got the looks and charm" Katie bashed her eyes lids..she
was right..for a brainy bitch she was hot and funny Ally always thought.
Ally let out a dry laugh she would never admit it even if her wife was
right..

"What...it worked on you didn't it" Katie teased back..she could sense Ally
was always slightly jealous from the attention Katie got..she was nice to her
staff because she knew just because she performed the surgery...the healing
had just begun and each individual had a role to play..every doctor, nurse
and carer that looked after her patients..it was team work and having respect
for her co-workers was very important to Katie.

"So you reckon I could get discharged today..I mean I'm perfectly fine
minus this" Ally asked as she attempted to lift her plastered foot.

"I don't know babe we will have to ask Sam later" Katie replied.

"Oh come on...can't you put in a good word for me" Ally winked as Katie
began to laugh.

"And why would I want to do that" Katie questioned...she still hadn't gotten
an answer about the idea of Ally moving in with her until she got better.
Despite their flarey tempers it was this right here..the joking around and
flirty comments was what she missed and she was determined to get her and
Ally back on the right track.

"Because I'm your wifey remember" Ally teased as Katie smirked at her.
Silence fell between the two grinning girls...

"Come here" Ally whispered as she bit her lip wiggling her finger for Katie
to come closer. Katie's smile dropped as she leaned forward closing the gap
between them as Ally's lips brushed against her own..Even after all the
arguing and hurtful words Ally didn't care she wanted Katie..they had both
acted like twats especially her for kicking the bloody radiator but maybe
this is what they needed..something to make them both stop and think that
snapping at one another wasn't going to help anyone...Ally moaned as Katie
tongue brushed past her lips, pulling her wife onto her bed she missed
Katie's touch. A loud awkward cough broke them apart as Ally and Katie
both glanced at the door..a smirking Rach who held an oversized teddy bear
along with Ally's sister Denny and her mother Julia...oh shit Ally sighed..

"Alison what in the name of god happened to you" Julia snapped clearly
obilivious to what had just been happening, she marched straight for Katie
sweeping her into her arms.

"Hello darling how are you" Julia beamed pulling Katie into a tight embrace
and ignoring her daughter with the broken foot. A flustered Katie mumbled
a quick hello as she stood back from Ally's bed.

"Tough day" Rach teased tilting her head to the side as she glared at her
friend who looked equally as flustered as Katie.

"What did you do" Julia sighed staring down at her daughter.

"Hello to you too Julia" Ally replied dryly.

"She tripped over my gym bag Juls" Rach interrupted knowing Ally would
have a lot of explaining to do if she knew why it happened and why Ally
wasn't actually living with her "wife".

"Daft mare should have been watching where she was going isn't that right
Katie" Julia got another dig at her daughter as a nervous Katie smiled
nervously.

"Why don't we get a cuppa you looked parched love" Julia said as she clung
tightly to her daughter in law ignoring her daughter as she ushered Katie out
of the room.

"I'll be back soon" Katie managed to glance back at her wife as Ally gave
her a weak smile. Once the devil and Katie were out of ear shot, Rach and
her sister smirked as they both sat either side of Ally's bed.

"Watch it" Ally warned her little sister who sat a little too close to her
injured leg.

"Never mind that" Denny dismissed her sister as she gave Rach a smirk

"What was that between you and the Doc" Rach interrupted as she wiggled
her eye brows. Ally's mind drifted back to Katie causing her to smile...she
needed to make this work with Katie...

"She wants me to move in with her" Ally smiled

"What" Denny snapped "I thought you too were like donezo" she added
"Just until I get back on my feet Rach" Ally said ignoring her sister as she
gave her a quick shove to get off the sheet tugging on her foot, "Its not
permanent and I'll still be coming home every now and then..we have a lot
to talk about" Ally added trying to convince herself this was the right thing
to do.

"So are you going to do it" Rach asked for once not barking out opinions as
Ally shrugged her shoulders

"I still love her Rach...probably more now than ever because I know what it
was like to lose her...I just don't want that to happen again..and right now
with the ways things are I'm afraid I will and I don't think I could take it"
Ally mumbled as Rach took her friends hand in her own giving her a warm
smile.

"You lesbians and your drama...I can't keep up...I'm going for a fag" Denny
blurted out as she hopped to her feet and scurried out the door.

"God Harris you big soft puppy" Rach teased...Ally shoved her friend..she
knew this was a close to getting a go for it from her friend, Rach was not
your typical friend who would give you a boast of confidence she was more
the you look and are acting like a tramp honest friend.

Rach lay on the bed beside Ally as they watched the video of a high Ally in
A&E the day before, Ally felt mortified as the pair of them giggled
watching her embarrassing encounter with the radiographer who numerous
times had ordered Ally to keep her foot still, she knew once she was back
on her feet she was have to pay to poor man a verbal apology.

"Hey girls" Julia beamed clasping her cup of coffee as she sat down on a
nearby seat to which girls both grunted an hello and carried on watching the
video. Katie appeared 5 minutes later with a beaming smile on her face as
she stood at the end of Ally's bed..

"Good news...you can go home" Katie smiled nervously her eyes almost
pleading for her to come home with her as Rach's elbow dug into Ally's side
teasingly as Ally gave her a quick shove.

"Great...let's go" Ally smiled as she bit her lip...home is where the heart
is...finally she was going home...

***
 Chapter 16

"Come in, make yourself at home" Katie ushered the brunette into her
apartment as Ally smiled weakly hobbling a few steps on her crutches.

Ally glanced around Katie's spacious apartment as her wife carried Ally's
suitcase into the bedroom. The brunette smiled as she looked at the spotless
kitchen and living room..easy to know Ally didn't spend much time here
with how clean it was.

Although she had been here a few times before mainly having amazing sex
in the bedroom, this place was still new to Ally and she wasn't sure how this
was going to work out. Katie and Ally had done nothing but bicker the past
while and now here she was moving in with Katie until she got back onto
her feet.

They needed this...small confined space was bound to make them talk and
work things out..Ally needed Katie.

All of Katie and maybe with them living together for a while they could
build up a relationship they once had back in Africa..just maybe...

"Al what are you doing...sit down" Katie half laughed as she appeared back
from her bedroom watching the brunette who was still standing near the
door balancing on her crutches.

Ally pushed her body forward as she began to get the hang of the crutches,
she was not looking forward to the next 6 weeks as she collapsed on the
sofa removing the crutches as she nursed her already sore hands.

"Can I get you anything..tea..coffee..some food" Katie asked as she plonked

down next to her wife. Ally shook her head as Katie clasped her hands in
her own.

"I'll get you some moisturiser for these, they will be dry in no time from
those stupid things" Katie said as she brought her lips to Ally's hands
placing a sweet kiss against them and dropping them back in her own grip
against her lap. Ally smiled, it was a simple yet sweet gesture that made her
stomach flutter.

"Why don't I make you some soup" Katie suggested as Ally shook her head
once again

"I'm not hungry" Ally yawned as her fingers played with Katie's. The
silence filled the apartment as both girls sighed..there was no awkwardness
as such but both girls didn't know what to do, here they were alone and
living together yet neither of them knew what to do or say. Sure they had
stuff to work out but both girls were drained and exhausted after the past
couple of days talking things out was the last thing they needed to do.

"You want to get some sleep" Katie asked as a grateful smile now appeared
on Ally's face. Katie stood up as she helped the brunette balance on the
crutches as they headed for Katie's room.

Ally collapsed back onto the king size bed as Katie smiled taking the
crutches and placing nearby. Ally struggled with track suit bottoms..even
though they were two sizes too big the pain in her leg darted through her
body.

"Here let me help babe" Katie said as she kneeled on the bed as gripped
either side of Ally's bottoms. Slowly and as gently as she could she
managed to remove Ally's trackies without even causing one stir out of her
wife who watched her lovingly.

"Thanks" Ally sighed "I don't think I'm putting PJ bottoms on after that" she
chuckled as she swiped her hoodie over her head and replaced it with a t-
shirt.

Katie smirked at the idea of Ally sleeping in just her undies and t-shirt..she
gave the golden legs one more glance before placing the duvet over her
wife's body.

"I'll be only outside if you need anything" Katie smiled as she tucked her
wife into her bed, Ally frowned at her words.

"What" Ally snapped "You're not sleeping here" she added as her hand
patted the huge space beside her, it was Katie's turn to shake her head.

"I don't want to hurt you" Katie replied "I'll end up kicking your foot in my
sleep" she added as Ally's faced remained saddened.

"You won't hurt me...babe sleep here..I want you here" Ally pouted as Katie
looked away, she couldn't look at Ally's saddened face as she was already
tempted in changing her mind.

Leaning forward she placed a quick kiss on her wife's forehead and stood
up walking towards the bedroom door.

"Katie" Ally groaned as Katie glanced back given her wife a cheeky smile

"Night Al" she smiled switching off the light as Ally huffed and settled back
to bed. Half an hour later Katie was settled on her couch placing the duvet
over herself she shifted until she was comfortable.

Even though she barely slept a wink last night worrying about Ally and half
feeling guilty about she had snapped at Ally yet again..at least now she
could let all her worries go..as she played with her wedding rings on her
finger, Katie felt at ease knowing her wife was asleep in her bed.

She was so excited when Ally agreed to come back and stay with her. Katie
was the one who needed to look after her wife and that's exactly what she
was going to do. She had quietly checked on her wife five minutes ago who
was sound asleep.

This was going to be good for them, spend time with each other and Katie
the chance to build up a relationship with Ally again. At least Katie had an
advantage now if they did fight, number one Ally could barely walk with
those crutches and also she was now living with her. They would have no
choice but to deal with each other and sort things out..

**

Katie yawned as she poured two cups of coffee making sure to give Ally an
extra spoon of sugar she knew her wife hadn't lost her sweet tooth after all
these months. Gripping the two mugs she quietly made her way into her
bedroom as the brunette remained content in her sleep.

Katie couldn't let her sleep anymore she wanted to spend time with Ally,
maybe she was being selfish but she didn't care she needed to hear Ally's
sweet voice. Placing her own cup on the bedside locker she sat on the edge
of her bed allowing her free hand to glide lightly up and down her wife's
exposed arm, it wasn't long before the brunette began to shuffle slightly
under her touch.

"Morning sleepy head" Katie whispered brushing her thumb over Ally's
chin as the brunettes eyes flickered open lazily.

"Hmmmm what time is it" Ally groaned as she stretched her arms above her
head letting her body shudder

"After 11" Katie replied taking a small sip of Ally's coffee she shook her
head in disgust at how sweet it tasted.

"Here this is for you" Katie mumbled as Ally smiled shifting her upper
body up against the pillows and headboard.

"Shouldn't you be in work" Ally said as she took the mug from Katie and
placed it gently against her lips taking a quick sip of the hot liquid.

"I have the day off" Katie replied as Ally coughed in shock nearly spilt the
hot coffee over herself Katie quickly snatched the cup away from her wife
before she could hurt herself.

"Eh its Monday, it is like your busiest day" Ally replied still not quite
believing her wife was actually sat in front of her this late in the morning
"Yeh it is but some things are more important" Katie said as a warm smile
appeared on Ally's face, her heart was melting, this was the first time Katie
had ever said this to her.

Even when they were married, work was always Katie's priority, not in a
nasty way but Katie was so dedicated to helping people..healing people..she
always put others first and that's why she was such a great surgeon but she
never looked after herself.

"If you are doing this for me, honestly I'll be fine until you get home" Ally
replied feeling slightly guilty that maybe Katie felt she was being forced to
stay and babysit her.

"No" Katie shook her head dismissively "like I said some things are more
important than work" Katie smiled as she reach down the bed placing it
lightly over the brunettes injured foot.

"How is the pain" Katie asked glancing back up at her wife

"It was a little sore during the night but I took some more pain killers so it
has eased" Ally replied shifting her body slightly to get comfy again.

"You should have called me if you were awake Al" Katie said slightly
annoyed.

"Well it would have been easier if you just slept in here beside me" Ally
replied clearly getting a dig..they had already argued enough about Katie
keeping her distance if it didn't involve sex or talking casually but Ally
knew last night Katie was being far from spiteful last night, she genuinely
didn't want to hurt Ally especially on her first night.

"Alright grumpy" Katie shot back deciding she was going to ignore it given
that Ally had only woken up.

"So what have we planned for today" Ally chirped placing her cup next to
Katie's.
"You are going to rest on the couch and I'm going to make sure you do"
Katie smiled warmly knowing Ally was not one for enjoying lazy days....

***

"Hey I've been bleeping you the past hour" Ally sighed closing the door to
Katie's office. Katie's head remained fixated on her paper work on her desk
as she muttered something under her breath..

"Babe" Ally said as she slowly made her way further into the office and
stopping as she stood beside her wife's occupied chair. Silence filled the
room as Katie's attention remained on her paper work.

"Katie" Ally snapped if there was anything Ally Thomas hated it was being
ignored especially by her wife.

"What" Katie snapped throwing her pen on her desk as she finally glared up
at her wife.

"I was talking to you" Ally replied a little less angry but a lot more hurt

"I'm busy Ally..I'm sure it can wait" Katie replied casually as her head
dipped back down to her paper work. Ally nodded she didn't feel anger
anymore looking down at her wife now who was clearly under stress with
work.

Ally felt alone, she wished she could have erased the past month after what
happened to Mr. Kah in theatre with Lynne.

Katie hadn't been the same since, she was caught up in her work all the
time..ensuring her patients were alive when they entered those hospital
doors and alive when leaving but this meant taking a step back from her
marriage.

Katie's eyes didn't light up as soon as her wife walked through the door in
fact after what happened just now it broke Ally inside, all she wanted was
her wife.
To see her, talk out there worries and let Ally in so should she could help
Katie with her grieving and whatever else was going on inside the surgeons
head. Ally left Katie's office without so much as a goodbye..she sniffed as
she made her way back towards the nurse's station...

"Babe she's probably just tied up with work" Tina said as she patted Ally on
the shoulder making their way into the old navy bar. Ally had been working
alongside Tina since day one and right now was the only person she could
vent to..she didn't want to worry any of her friends or family at home about
her problems and quite frankly she wasn't sure she was even having
problems.

How was she suppose to know what marriage problems were..she had no
clue..her and Katie had never gone more than a few hours without calling
or sending a loving text about missing each other and right now it had been
roughly 10 hours since she last seen Katie who engrossed in her work.

"Yeh I get the whole Mr. Kah situation knocked her back but there was
nothing she could do..or Lynne for that matter..the guy had no hope even I
knew that" Ally replied as she gave a couple of co-workers a quick wave
before heading straight to the bar.

"I know but you know what surgeons are like..they think they can cure
cancer and one blip like this and booooom it knocks them down" Tina
replied in her thick Yorkshire accent.

"Well she won't let me pick her back up again, in fact she won't let me do
anything..any time I try talking to her about how she is, she just freezes up
and says she's fine and we're fine but clearly we aren't" Ally replied as she
gulped her own words kicking her into reality

"Maybe she's not in love with me anymore" Ally mumbled as Tina ordered
their drinks.

"Ally shut up, that girl is besotted with you" Tina shot back.
"It doesn't feel like it, I mean she doesn't even know where I am and my
phone hasn't buzzed once" Ally snapped checking the time it was already
after 9 on a Friday evening.

Normally by this time her and Katie would be just after demolishing a take
away and curled up on the couch soothing their food babies..proper old
married couple but that's what Ally longed for..their giggles and chats.

Katie moaning about Ally's shit taste in reality shows and the simple
gestures of holding hands or sweet kisses when Ally least expected it..it
always made her smile...

"4 tequilas please" Ally ordered ignoring the two beers that were ordered by
Tina...she needed the hard stuff to block out the pain..

"Ally" Tina warned.

"Shhhhhh" Ally hissed as she gripped the shot glass and knocked the
burning liquid back.

It was after midnight in the old navy bar and Ally was well and truly
drunk..she had downed far too many shots and even smoked a few
cigarettes out back with one of porters from theatre 7. Making her way back
from the toilet towards Tina and a few others she felt a light grip on her
arm

"Hey Ally" Lynne smiled at the brunette as her hand remained on Ally's arm

"Oh heeeeeey Lynne" Ally replied as her body began to sway with the
tequila.

"Looks like someone's enjoying themselves" Lynne laughed as she gripped

tightly onto the brunette and directed her over to a free table in the bar. Ally
shuffled into the booth as Lynne climbed in beside her.

Ally knew she was gone beyond her limit with the alcohol she was most
likely going to puke and have a nasty headache by tomorrow morning.
"How are you doing, I haven't seen you in a while" Lynne asked as she
clicked her fingers at one of bar staff gesturing for two beers.

"Peachy" Ally mumbled her eyes dragging lazily

"How's Katie" Lynne asked

"I have no clue" Ally blurted "she doesn't talk to me in fact has barely even
looked at me this past week" Ally hiccupped revealing too much information
about her marriage.

"She's still not going on about Mr. Kah is she" Lynne questioned keeping
her cool she knew she had to play her cards right with Ally. Lynne knew
from word going around in surgery that Katie hadn't been herself since Mr.
Kah's death and this is exactly what Lynne was hoping for.

Katie off god only knows where and her lonely hot wife here beside her
drunk and in need of some attention, attention Lynne was willing to give...

***

"I'm bored" Ally snapped her magazine shut as she threw it on the coffee
table

"Geeeeee thanks" Katie replied in a strong yankee accent causing Ally to

laugh.

"It's true, look at us, your equally as bored as me and don't deny it" Ally
huffed it was day 4 of lounging around Katie's apartment. Much like the
other three days it involved Ally waking up at the crack of dawn, having a
cooked breakfast by Katie followed by a wash.

Not a shower just a wash, Katie refused to let Ally have a shower saying
she wasn't able for it without keeping the cast dry. Shortly after her
independent wash Ally would be forced to lie on the couch her foot rested
up on a mountain of pillows and that's what her day pretty much consisted
of watching TV, eating at meal times and going to bed ALONE.
Katie was taking this broken foot thing far too serious for Ally's liking, she
had even taken a few days off surgeries just to look after Ally..it was sweet
but Ally knew there was only so much work Katie could do on her laptop
while Ally watched TV before she would crack and want to go back to
work.

"This isn't what we are used, sitting around and not working" she added as
she folded her arms..Ally loved her job..she lived for her job and going
from being rushed off her feet for 12 hours to now sitting lazily on the
couch watching day time trashy TV she couldn't adjust to it.

"Well that is totally out of the question Ally" Katie warned not even looking
at her wife as Ally rolled her eyes

"Why not, come on I'm sure I could work at the check in with Sandra until
I'm out of the cast...plus you could be back in work within the hour...doing
what you do best..slicing and dicing people" Ally said as her eyes widened
waiting for the temptation to be as eager in her wife's eyes. Katie smirked as
she closed her mac book and placing it on the coffee table.

"I'm not going back to work until tomorrow and you aren't going back until
you can walk again" Katie ordered as Ally rolled her eyes huffing and
pushing her body flat against the couch staring up at the ceiling.

Katie got to her feet as she slowly made her way over to her wife sitting on
the edge of the couch, Ally shuffled slightly to give her room.

"What do you want to do" Katie asked as her pinky connected with Ally's
trying to soften the brunette up. A mischief grin appeared on Ally's face as
she leaned forward biting her bottom lip.

"What" Katie rasped nervously watching that glint in Ally's eye she knew
she was up to no good. Ally leaned further until her lips connected with
Katie's and her arms pulled the surgeon on top of her.

It had almost been a week since they last had sex but once Ally got a taste
of what she had been missing since leaving Gambia she couldn't get enough
of Katie, she couldn't take it anymore.
4 days she had been staying with Katie and the most action she got was a
kiss on the cheek or forehead every night after being tucked into bed by
Katie, now her wandering hand had found Katie's right breast she gave it a
light squeeze causing Katie to moan into her mouth as Ally's tongue flicked
past the surgeons lips.

"Mmmmm babe" Katie mumbled against Ally's mouth as Ally's hand

quickly yanked at the hem of Katie's top pulling it swiftly over her head
briefly breaking contact.

"Al" Katie groaned as Ally uninjured leg pushed firmly between Katie's
thighs

"We should stop" Katie managed to breath out as her body subconsciously
pressed further into Ally's leg as she straddle the brunette. Ally was now
sitting up and she pulled Katie's body around her allowing her lips to
connect with Katie's collar bone.

"Ally seriously" Katie moaned as her fingers became lost in the long brown
locks as Ally's nipped at her skin.

"It's fine...all is forgiven" Ally mumbled as continued to kiss her wife's

exposed skin...that was it..Katie's body tensed as she pulled back from
Ally's grip and quickly climbed to her feet.

"What's wrong" Ally asked as she racked her fingers through her messy
locks. Katie snatched her tshirt and she placed it swiftly back over her bra
and flattened her clothes.

"I just don't think we should be doing this right now" Katie said as she
flattened her own hair trying to regain her composure.

"Katie I broke my foot not my vagina" Ally sulked

"I'm not talking about that..I mean you living here now..maybe it's not a
good idea if we do that right now" Katie stuttered as her cheeks burned
pointing to where she was only straddling Ally a minute ago half naked.
"Why not...we've been doing thaaat for over a month" Ally frowned as she
swung her body to the sitting position.

"I know I know and it's not that I don't want to..I just think it complicates
things" Katie replied

"We are still married, sleeping and now living together" Ally said raising an
eyebrow.

"Please, let's just take this slow for a while..until we start to figure things
out" Katie pleaded with blue eyes as she sat next to the brunette who still
needed convincing.

Taking Ally's hands in her own she wanted Ally to know she was
trying..trying hard with this marriage but she needed to do it her way.

"Ok..fine whatever you say" Ally nodded in agreement as she stared at their
connected hands. It was Katie's way or no way and she was determined to
make things work between them.

"Ok so ring me if you need anything at all ok" Katie ordered as she placed
her mac in her computer bag and gathered her stuff for work

"and take it easy ok, I've left chicken and salad in the fridge for lunch..I'll
pick us up some take out on the way home" Katie added as she placed her
scarf around her neck double checking she had everything.

"Will you go already..it's 9 o'clock" Ally ushered her wife away with her
hand as she elevated her foot on the couch.

"I'll call you before surgery this afternoon ok" Katie said as she approached
Ally, leaning forward she placed a sweet kiss on Ally's lips and quickly
made her way back to collect her stuff as she headed for the door.

"Good bye Alison" Katie said giving Ally a warning look to do as she was
told and take it easy.
"Good bye Kathryn" Ally smirked blowing her wife a loving kiss and
watched Katie grin as she closed the front door. Ally breathed out a loud
sigh as she reached for her phone.

"Rach, I'm coming over" Ally said into her phone as she struggled to her
feet...
 Chapter 17

Ahhhhh you guys 10,000 views on this story..I love you all so much for
reading, it means a lot <3 I hope you continue to enjoy Ally and Katies
story xxx

"Oh thank god" Ally sighed as she gripped Rach between her arms
squeezing her tightly and hobbling her way into her flat.

"Well well I'm surprise you can walk" Rach chuckled as she closed the door
and followed her flatmate towards the couch.

"I can't" Ally shot back chucking her crutches to the spare seat and she
plonked her body on the couch.

"Is that from all the dirty sex you and Doc have been having" Rach raised
an eye brow and threw her body next to her friends waiting to hear all the
juicy gossip.

"Erm no...its because I broke my bloody foot" Ally huffed slapping her
friends arm playfully.

"I'm sure you are making good use of that one bedroom luxurious apartment
of hers" Rach teased

"If you call me being tucked into being every night by ten o' clock and her
sleeping on the couch..good use, well then yeh Rach you are spot on" Ally
replied dryly as she flicked the remote at the telly.

"Whaaaaat" Rach erupted into a fit of laughter as Ally's stern face glared at
her friend.
"Are you done" Ally snapped flicking the telly off. She was sick of the
same crap being on this time of day.

"It's like the past month has being a blur and I'm one of her patients or
something, I've been on house arrest and no sex, I mean can you imagine
living with her, seeing how sexy she is first thing in the morning or when
she comes out from a shower all hot and bothered..God I just want to hop
on her and it hasn't even been a week" Ally groaned as her face flushed
thinking about how sexually frustrated she was.

"Sheeeesh that's rough" Rach replied "Have you guys even talked about
things, like are you together, not together"

"No, I don't want to push her but just when I feel like I'm getting
somewhere with her it's like we go back to square one again..I know she
hasnt forgiven me for the past" Ally replied

"Babe you need to talk things out with her...tell her how you feel...you need
to know where you stand with her" Rach said as Ally nodded in agreement.

She knew her friend was right but how could she get it all out, dig up the
past and try and sort through it. She knew no matter how nice and loving
Katie was now to her that once they started sorting through things, her
feelings would change and be dug up again. Would Katie really be able to
get past everything?

"I need a drink" Ally huffed as Rach eyes widened checking the time it
wasn't even midday but who was she to refuse booze....

6 hours later...

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeeeeeehhhhhhh" Ally chanted over the loud music

as she held her crutch in the air celebrating her victory of hitting her sixth
pair of socks with her crutch in a row leaving Rach a sore loser.

"You cheated" Rach mumbled throwing the last pair of socks to the ground
she was beginning to get the spins
"How" Ally said defensive as she balanced her cast in the air her body
swaying from side to side as she dropped her crutch to the ground.

"I don't know but you did" Rach said after a moment deep in thought.

"Want to see something funny" Rach asked as Ally shook her head in
excitement. Rach charged in her heels straight towards a drunken Ally who
shouted Rach's name.

Rach stopped inches from the brunette who quickly swayed without her
crutches and suddenly fell straight back against the wooden floor as Rach
burst into a fit of drunken giggles.

The front door swung open as Ally went in for her attack and bit Rach's
ankle causing the blonde to wiggle out of her grip and fall equally as hard
on the ground this time causing Ally to break into a fit of giggles as both
girls were now flat arse on the floor.

"What the..." Shel shouted over the loud music quickly running for the
docking station she tore the ipod from it as the two girls remained in a fit of
laughter on the floor.

"Rachel" Shel snapped as Rach's body stiffened as Ally continued to laugh.

"Ally" Katie snapped as silence filled the room.

"Babe it's not what it looks like...I was minding my business and Ally
popped up out of the blue and forced that bottle of gin into me" Rach said
seriously but giggled as she mentioned the word gin.

"What's up Doc" Rach giggled as Katie gritted her teeth. The Surgeon
sighed as she shut the front door but kept her distance from the pair on the
ground, suddenly Ally didn't feel so drunk as she watched Katie glare at her.

"Right up now" Shel broke the awkward silence as she yanked Ally helping
her to her feet and carried her while Ally hobbled to the couch.

"You, my place now" Shel snapped pointing at Rach who remained sitting
on the floor. Rach immediately got to her feet as she followed Shel towards
the door hand gesturing for Ally to call her later.

"I'll see you soon hun" Shel said to Katie as she gripped her elbow
momentarily looking back to Ally who gulped as she sat like a bold child on
the couch "go easy ok" she added and quickly made her way to the door
with Rach hot in her heels like a lost puppy. Katie watched as the flat door
closed her attention going back to Ally.

"How was your first day back" Ally smiled not sure what else to say. The
gin was either going to make her laugh or cry and judging by the look on
Katie's face, there would be plenty of tears.

Katie's jaw clenched as she stepped further into the apartment looking
around the pokey apartment it was definitely a downgrade from her
luxurious apartment near Mayfair.

"Why do you do it Ally" Katie said coldly as she removed her jacket
standing in her tight jeans, boots and jumper she looked hot but now really
wasn't the time for Ally to compliment her wife.

"Do what" Ally asked

"Take things a step too far" Katie shot back slowly but surely unable to
keep her cool any longer

"Katie I..." Ally attempted to get to her feet

"Sit down Ally" Katie snapped marching towards her drunken wife

"Look at you..you're a fucking mess" Katie huffed.

"Do you have any idea how worried I was when I phoned earlier and got no
answer" she added as Ally shifted uncomfortably in her seat, she lost track
of time with Rach so shoot her.

"I'm sorry we just had a couple of drinks and..."

"A couple, it smells like a fucking brewery in here" Katie snapped "You
shouldn't even be drinking on in your state"
"I broke my bloody foot big deal, you can't keep me glued to that couch and
not expect me to come see my best friend Katie..I needed to get out" Ally
snapped.

"Are you already regretting staying with me" Katie replied a little offended.

"No but I didn't think I was on house arrest" Ally replied "I'm my own
person Katie and I don't need babysitting" Ally huffed folding her arms
across her chest.

"I'm your Wife Ally, the least you can do is answer your phone and let me
know you were ok" Katie shouted.

"Oh so now you are my Wife" Ally sneered, those gin and tonics really
weren't going to do her any favours in this argument.

"What is that suppose to mean" Katie mumbled glaring down at the

brunette.

"Last time I checked when you are married you open up, talk about things,
share a bed, make love and tell each other you love each other" Ally hissed,
she knew she was pushing Katie but they needed this, she couldn't stand not
knowing what was going on between them anymore.

"Yeh well last time I checked you don't fuck someone else when you're
married" Katie shouted as her words echoed through the empty flat hitting
Ally like a ton of bricks...

"Finally" Ally cheered "She speaks of what her trampy wife did" Ally
mumbled as she reached for her half full glass nearby and taking a gulp of
her drink....

***

"You are so beautiful you know that" Lynne whispered in Ally's ear as Ally
laughed sitting back to keep a distance

"What" Lynne smile "It's true" she added

"I should get going, Katie will be wondering where I am" Ally said
nervously trying to leave the awkward situation she hadn't flirted with
anyone in over two years and she wasn't about to start now..sliding out of
the booth she felt a tight grip around her wrist.

"You deserve to be loved Alison, spoilt in fact" Lynne stated keeping her
voice low "if you were my wife I wouldn't leave your side, especially in a
bar like this where every guy checks you out" she added.

"I'd take care of you, give you what you needed when you needed" she
added as Ally gave her a sympathetic smile.

"I know we got off on the wrong foot but you are a sweet person Lynne and
you'll find someone someday but it's not me..I'm married..I love Katie" Ally
smiled weakly as she removed her wrist from Lynne's grip.

"Good night Lynne" she added as she quickly headed to her co-workers
table. Ally felt weird after Lynne's declaration, after doing two more shots
at the bar she knew there was only one place she wanted to be..back at
home with Katie..

Standing in the car park she quickly took out her phone knowing she was in
no state to drive she dialled her wife's number.

"Enjoying yourself are you" Katie snapped not even saying hello.

"Katie" Ally sighed, it had been a hard week in work and for once she just
needed to speak to her wife.

"Where are you" Katie asked coldly

"The old navy" Ally mumbled into her phone as a loud harsh laugh echoed
through the phone

"I should have known" Katie replied.

"It's just a few of us from work..you need to chill out" Ally grumbled as she
began to get the spins.
"Chill out..I fucking work hard too you know but I come home on a Friday
evening and you aren't even hear and don't bother to even let me know
where you are" Katie snapped as Ally clamped her eyes shut.

She would have told her first thing this morning if Katie had even bothered
to speak to her in the office...it was useless...Katie hated her..for no reason
she had suddenly become an enemy in her own marriage.

"I have to go" Ally's voice broke as she hung up the phone before Katie
could even say anything else. Ally burst into tears as she fell back onto the
steps leading to the bar.

Burying her head in her hands her tears ran freely...why was Katie taking
everything out on her..she hated how she became Katie's punching bag.

A soft hand brushed against her shoulder as she continued to sob, her life
was a mess and she was petrified that this was it..Katie was going to leave
her drunken ass and find someone else...marry some else. Ally dreaded the
thought of going home and hearing Katie say she was leaving her.

"Ally come on, get up" Lynne gripped the brunette and pulled her too her
feet.

"Stop" Ally mumbled through her tears as she pushed Lynne off her while
she swayed.

"Let me take you home" Lynne suggested as Ally's teeth gritted of the
thought of home

"No" Ally slurred as she rummaged through her bag and gripped her car
keys, heading for her parked car.

"You are not driving" Lynne snapped as she quickly followed the brunette
who swayed past some cars.

"Go back inside Lynne" Ally cried as she clicked her key to unlock her car.
Before she could open the door she felt a harsh tug at her body as her back
collided with her still closed door.
"Get off me" Ally shouted as Lynne struggled to take the keys from her
grasp.

"Just give me the keys" Lynne gritted through her teeth, Ally didn't put up
much of struggle as she lost grip of her keys letting them drop to the
ground.

"Just let me go" Ally cried as she reached out for the keys once again but
Lynne placed them in her back pocket.

"No you could be wrapped around a tree if you drive with the state you are
in" Lynne huffed

"So..." Ally sniffed "No one would even care"

"Don't say that" Lynne whispered "I care" she added as she wiped Ally's
tears away..she had Ally exactly where she wanted her..

"You're only saying that" Ally sniffed her eyes unable to focus from the
alcohol. Within seconds she felt Lynne's tongue against her own as her body
was pressed hard against the car, feeling a warm hand slide up the inside of
her dress...

***

"Do you have any idea how long I waited for you to say it since you came
here...you have so much anger inside Katie" Ally said as Katie paced the
room.

"You ruined my life Ally, our perfect life" Katie snapped as Ally let out a
harsh laugh

"We were far from perfect Katie as much as you want to block out all those
nights I tried to get close to you, tried helping you grieve through what had
happened you just pushed me away" Ally sniffed as she took one last swig
from the empty glass

"You didn't love me anymore" Ally added "You loved your work...your
patients but not me"
"That's bullshit" Katie shouted as she glared at her wife "I loved you more
than anything...I should be promoted head of vascular now in Gambia but
you took that away from me"

"I know what I did was unforgivable and after months of trying to win you
back I got that...I left..I left my job, my life in Africa for you Katie..to let
youuu move on with your life so yeh call me a cheating whore or a drunk
but do not blame me for you being here right now" Ally cried.

She couldn't do this anymore...she had spent the last year feeling like a
heartless cow and bitch for ruining the life one person who ever meant
anything to her but she knew when she moved to London she would have to
live with that every day for the rest of her life, knowing what she had with
Katie was ruined over a drunken mistake with Lynne.

"Did you just think that you could just leave Africa and I'd live happily ever
after" Katie cried as she sat next to the brunette leaving a gap, her voice was
hoarse from shouting she was drained but it was now or never to try and let
go of all this anger inside.

"Of course not but you told me you hated me, never wanted to see me
again..it broke my heart signing those papers before I left but you did it..you
wanted me out of your life so that's what I did" Ally mumbled.

"The past two months have been amazing, I got my old Katie back..the one
I married and loved but I see the way you look at me when we argue
Katie...no matter how much you try and make an effort with us you can't get
passed what I did and see the old Ally"

"I'm still me in here" Ally sniffed as her hand traced over her heart

"I still love you with all my heart Katie and I always will" she added as she
cleared her throat knowing what she was about to say was going to break
her heart all over again.

"I'm so sorry for everything" Ally said as she brushed her tears from her
cheek
"I can sit here and blame you for neglecting me in our marriage with work
but it'll never excuse what I did to you, I broke your trust and that's
something I have to live with everyday Katie" Ally sighed as she reached to
the back of her neck loosening her neck lace as she allowed her wedding
rings drop to her palm.

"What are you doing" Katie sniffed through her fresh tears.

"Giving you your life back" Ally whispered as she placed the two rings on
the coffee table next to her wife.

"Maybe one day you will forgive me whether it's today, tomorrow or 10
years from now but I'll can't forgive myself and as much as this kills me...I
can't keep going around in circles with you" Ally sniffed as her eyes finally
connected with Katie's who sobbed quietly.

As much as it broke Katie's heart she knew deep down Ally was right..she
had come to London to try sort through her feelings with Ally but all they
were doing was hurting each other..maybe they weren't ready for moving
on..

"Come here" Ally whispered as the surgeon slowly made her way next to
the brunette. Ally's arm wrapped around Katie who began sobbing
uncontrollably into her wife's chest

"I don't want to hurt you anymore" Ally whispered as she kissed Katie's hair
line, holding her close.

"You're going to meet someone who can give you what you deserve...love,
happiness and a family" she added as she gripped Katie's face to meet her
own.

"I'll always love you Katie Thomas" Ally cried as placed a chaste kiss on
Katie's trembling lips....
 Chapter 18

Wound healing part 2 of the book :D

3 years later...

As the plane's tyres collided along the run way of Heathrow airport, Ally's
heart raced deep in her chest. This was it..the day she dreaded since leaving
this miserable weather and starting fresh or at least to try.

She stared out into the mist of terminal 1in the far distance, no matter how
much she was dreading coming back, it was still home.

It was still the country she was born and raised, her friends were here,
family still settled in Brighton and Katie was here...

3 years is a long time being away. Ally had decided to leave London as
soon as her divorce was finalised.

She needed to get away, maybe she was running away from her life but it
seemed the right thing to do at the time.

Before leaving she eventually made it back to work after breaking her foot,
persuading Sandra to let her work with her in the check in desk, it wasn't
long before she was scrubbing back into surgeries.

Her relationship with Katie was strained..they were both clearly hurting and
having to see each other most days wasn't helping..so after Katie got hold of
her solicitor in Africa they were officially divorced within a couple of
months.
There was no hatred between them, they were civil as they could be, small
talking and always polite to one another but theres only so much you can
say to the woman who's heart you broke and ending any chance of
happiness together.

Ally needed to get away, spread her wings and start living a life she could
begin to appreciate again. As a divorcee hitting her late twenties what did
she have to lose.

So she packed up her job and booked a trip around the world. It was exactly
what Ally needed. She travelled almost a year through India and Asia before
finally making it to Australia were she settled for the next two years of her
life.

Working in the Royal Melbourne hospital she found a new love for
orthopaedic surgeries, she had even undergone a managerial course and was
now a qualified clinical nurse manager.

As much as she enjoyed the lifestyle in Melbourne, meeting new friends

and women she still thought about everyone back home. She missed her
little sister who was now a mother to a two year old boy called Luke, she
missed Rach so much.

It was hard with time difference but they made it work with Skype dates.
Whether Rach was drunk and begging her best friend to come home or Ally
drunk saying she would book her flights home the next day.

She never did end up booking flights though, not until late last year after
Rach had finally mucked up the courage to ask Shel to marry her which
brings us back to why Ally was finally back on home turf.

She couldn't wait to be a part of the wedding with Rach asking Ally to be
her maid of honour. Ally immediately put in for extended leave to return to
London.

Ally didn't know if she would head back to Oz or not but this was her life
now, making her own choices and trying her hardest to get by and be happy.
Collecting her bags she pushed her trolley through arrivals her nerves were
getting the better of her, she couldn't wait to see Rach and Shel. Rach had
been texting Ally on her stop overs ensuring Ally she would be at the
airport at least an hour before she was due to arrive.

"There she is" Rach squealed as she jumped up and down on the spot as
Ally approached her..

"Ahhhhhhhhhh" Rach squealed as she gripped onto Ally tightly squeezing

her.

"I've missed you" Ally mumbled as she gave her friend one more tight
squeeze and let her go.

"You look hot" Rach blurted as she played with Ally's now highlighted
wavy hair.

"So do you" Ally smirked back as she ran her fingers through Rach's lightly
gelled blonde short hair having chopped her dreadlocks out a few months
back.

"Now now, watch it my fiiiiiance is over there" Rach chirped as she pointed
through the small crowd as Ally gave Shel a goofy wave.

Ally's heart skipped a beat as she noticed those piercing blue eyes next to
Shel. 3 years, 3 years without seeing those eyes, that sexy smile and
amazing body.

"Ex Wifey is here too, put your tongue back in your mouth" Rach
whispered to her friend as Ally gave her friend a dig of an elbow to her
boob as Rach squirmed with the pain.

Ally smiled at Katie as she gave her a quick wave..she remembered saying
goodbye like it was only yesterday..

***

"Bloody hell" Ally groaned as she dragged her last box to the hallway of
her flat. She has packed all her essentials in one rucksack she was bringing
with her and the rest of her stuff was being collected by her dad and
brought back to Brighton for storage.

"Serves you right for leaving us" Rach grumbled keeping her eyes firmly on
the telly, refusing to have any involvement in Ally packing.

It was Ally's last night in London before she caught a flight to Delhi first
thing tomorrow morning.

She wasn't exactly sure where was even going to stay when she got there but
this was her new start, no planning or worrying was her new motto.

"You gonna miss me babe" Ally mumbled as she gripped her friend between
her arms from the back of the couch holding her tightly.

"More than you'll ever know" Rach mumbled back gripping onto the
brunette as they stayed silent holding one another.

"You could always stay, you and Katie could.."

Ally sighed as she let go of her friend. She wasn't going over this again with
Rach..Sure she debated at times she was doing the wrong thing. Leaving her
life she had set up back up in London..her job, Rach and most of all Katie.

The last time she left Katie it wasn't by choice. Katie wanted her out of
Africa away from her but now she wasn't sure what was going on in Katie's
head.

They had met with Katie's new solicitor last week with the final documents
of the divorce for South Africa. Neither of them said much.

Ally insisted that Katie kept the earnings of their house and the cars the
only thing Ally wanted was half of their savings she had lodged her salary
in over in Africa.

Katie insisted on giving her half of everything but truth was Ally didn't want
it. She didn't deserve it and that was final, so she sat in front of her soon to
be ex wife and Katie's Solicitor while she scanned over a newer version of
the papers she had signed over a year ago back in Gambia.
The solicitor had insisted Ally to call her own solicitor while she was here
but truth was Ally didn't have one. This wasn't a bitter divorce.

She loved Katie and needed to let her be free, she didn't need to pay some
hot shot to try and haggle her wife out of half her earnings. She felt sick to
her stomach as she read through the mountain of paperwork, this was really
it.

The end of her marriage for real this time, she glanced at Katie who broke
eye contact immediately. Part of Ally wished Katie would have stopped her
by now, ripped those papers in two and fought for whatever they had left
but then again it was Ally who ended things this time.

She knew Katie deserved a lot more than a cheating wife who couldn't even
forgive herself and spent most of her time punishing herself for ruining their
marriage. She signed the papers, shook the mans hand and gave Katie a
weak smile..hugging her now ex wife was the last thing she wanted to do so
she darted out the door and never looked back.

Ally spent the rest of her evening crying over full bottle of vodka until Rach
and Shel got in from work that evening, with Shel carrying her into the cold
shower telling her to get a grip on her life and forced her to puke up most of
the Smirnoff.

"You know I need to do this" Ally warned as she checked over her packed
boxes.

"I can't stay here and pretend that life is peachy, I can't see her everyday in
work when she's not mine anymore...she's going to eventually move on and I
can't be here to see that smile back on her face when it used to be me who
made her smile" she sighed as Rach now turned to face her.

Rach's face softened as much as she was going to miss Ally, she knew the
girl had to do what she had to do.

"I'm going to jump in for a quick shower" Ally said as she walked back to
the couch and placed a sweet kiss on her friends head
"I love you" she breathed out as she headed for the bathroom

"I love you too Ally" Rach sighed quietly as she watched her friend
disappear into the bathroom.

"Do you want to order some pizza, celebrate the last supper" Ally shouted
out to Rach as she wrapped her towel firmly around her body, racking her
fingers through her damp hair as she made her way to the living room.

An awkward cough escaped Rach's mouth as Katie's head whipped around

from the couch and stared at a wide eyed Ally who stood in her towel.

"Katie...er hi" Ally stuttered placing her hand over the top of her towel,
Katie's eyes glanced at the length of her body before quickly diverting back
around towards the telly.

"I just came to say good bye, if its a bad time..."

"No" Ally shot back her face flushing whilst Rach sat amused between the
pair.

"I'll just get changed..give me 5 minutes" she added as she quickly dashed
for her room...

"Hey" Ally said as she came back tying her hair in a messy bun after
putting trackies and a t-shirt on.

"Hi" Katie smiled weakly as her eyes scanned over the brunettes now fully
dressed body as she sat down next to her.

"Where has Rach gone" Ally questioned as she glanced around her flat.

"She went to pick up the last supper" Katie replied trying to sound at ease
but her voice was as tense as her body. Ally nodded at a nervous Katie.
"So are you all set" Katie asked filling the silence in the room before it
became awkward.

"Yep" Ally chirped "Who would of thought I could fit my whole life in one
rucksack" she added.

"Wow...I take it your heels and dresses are staying put" Katie teased
knowing her ex wife's love for fashion had taken up most of their wardrobe
in Africa.

"Ha yeh" Ally replied silence filling the room once again

"So what about you, any plans to head back to the States" Ally questioned
as Katie quickly shook her head

"No I think I'll stick around for a while...Sandra is growing on me" Katie
replied causing the brunette to chuckle as she soon joined in..

"I'm gonna miss you" Katie blurted out as the atmosphere seemed more
relax

"I'll miss you too" Ally smiled as she leaned forward taking Katie in her
arms to which the surgeon gladly accepted inhaling a deep breath as her
arms wrapped tightly around the brunette.

A moment passed as they both reluctantly pulled away, before Ally knew she
felt Katie's lips on her own. Their eyes fixated on one another as Katie's lips
remained pressed against the brunette's.

Katie closed her eyes as she deepened the kiss, her tongue massaging Ally's
slowly, there was no lust or urge in their kiss. As Ally's fingers brushed over
Katie's soft cheek she knew this was a good bye kiss.

Whether they would see each other in a week or a year or maybe never
again. They both meant something to one another and were done with
words this was their only way of showing it.

"Can I stay" Katie mumbled against Ally's lips as her hands snaked around
the brunettes waist
"I mean not for...I just want to stay with you on your last night" she
stuttered.

Ally hesitated, god she wished she could go against her word and just take
Katie to her room and make love to her. Cancel her flight and stay with
Katie but she knew it would never work.

They still had issues that they both weren't over and leading Katie along
wasn't going to help especially when Ally had to battle her own demons.
Learn to love herself again before she could love anyone else.

"Ok" Ally nodded

"You can sleep next to me tonight" she added making sure they were clear
about what would happen tonight. Two ex lovers sharing a bed for the last
time, and so they did. They ate pizza with Rach and chatted, felt at ease
with one another since the divorce.

Ally climbed into her bed that night as Katie held her. They took turns in
sobbing quietly, comforting each other and saying their last goodbyes.

Ally's alarm woke her at 6 the next morning as she brushed her fingers over
the empty space beside her. This would be the first morning of the rest of
her life....a life without Katie...

***

"You never said she was coming" Ally gritted through her teeth into Rach's
ear as they approached Shel who held a bottle of wine and Katie who held a
bunch of flowers. Rach gave a nervous laugh as she elbowed her friend
forward.

"Well well look at you Harris" Shel chirped as she pulled Ally into her arms
giving her a quick hug

"Congratulations Shel, I do hope you realise you are stuck with this one for
a long time" Ally teased pulling back as she felt Rach's hand clashed with
her arse causing Ally to yelp as she giggled.
Ally's stomach fluttered as her eyes connected with Katie's yet again. She
looked the very same as she did 3 years ago..beautiful...

"Welcome home" Katie grinned as she stepped forward allowing Ally to

snake her arms around her in a quick hug.

"It's good to see you Katie" Ally mumbled into the surgeons shoulder and
retracted her body.

"You too Al" Katie smiled weakly...Al...she hadn't been called that in 3
years. She gave Katie another smile before turning her attention back to her
trolly.

"Lets get you back to the flat, I'm sure the jet lag will come to visit you
soon..ah ah allow me" Rach insisted as she took hold of the trolly and began
steering towards the car park. Shel, Ally and Katie strolled through the car
park as they small talked about Ally's flights. As they approached a black
range rover, Rach lifted to booth door as she began loading Ally's cases.

"Who owns the fancy car" Ally smirked as she heard a car door close. A tall
blonde rounded the car as she approached the group.

"It's Jane's" Shel chirped as Ally's heart sunk glancing at Katie who's eyes
set firmly to the ground, she could sense the surgeon was nervous.

"Ally meet Jane...Jane meet Ally" Shel said as both girls extended each
others hand...Jane..the beautiful blonde long legged Jane...The wonderful ex
model Jane who Rach persisted to tell Ally about over Skype numerous
times..Jane...as in Katie's girlfriend Jane....
 Chapter 19

"Was that really necessary" Ally grumbled as she entered swiftly behind
Rach as they entered her old apartment dumping Ally's cases near Ally's old
bedroom.

"I didn't know..she just showed up outside the flat when Katie was suppose
to collect us" Rach replied "relax babe I'll get rid of them soon" she added
quietly hearing foot steps and voices coming towards the flat.

"So is it good to be back" Shel chirped as she was followed by Katie and
Jane into the flat.

"Ask me this time tomorrow" Ally laughed off how much she wished she
was back in Melbourne doing anything besides standing here like a loser.

"Tea...coffee" Rach interrupted.

"Tea for me baby" Shel hummed as she walked towards her fiancée
grabbing some cups.

"Yeh same, what about you sweetie" Jane asked as her arm snaked around
Katie's waist.

"Nah I'm good" Katie cleared her throat still avoiding any form of eye
contact with anyone. So this is what Ally wished for all along, for Katie to
be happy but seeing it with her own eyes hurt like a bitch.

"You know what guys I'm pooped so if you don't mind I'm just going to hit
the hay" Ally mumbled as she wheeled one of her bags into her old room.
"Thanks for the lift and it was really nice to meet you Jane" Ally smiled
weakly as she stood by her door having wheeled her second case by her
side.

She would love to just hop on the bitch and pull every strand of her
platinum blonde hair from her scalp. So it was a bit extreme but Jesus who
turns up to meet their girlfriends ex wife at the airport.

Ally felt sick to her stomach..listening to them all chatting and laughing
after she got picked up..she felt like an outsider. She had caught Katie
staring a couple of times through the rear view mirror as she drove them
back to Rach's flat.

She needed to go to bed and bury herself in her duvet, feel sorry for herself
and hope the next month would just fly by so she could fly the fuck out of
here.

"You too Alison, we will be seeing plenty more of each other I'm sure since
I'm part of the bridal party" Jane grinned widely keeping her protective arm
tightly around Katie who smiled nervously in agreement.

Jane...bridal party...Ally needed to remind herself to kill Rach tomorrow

keeping this shit from her. She knew Jane was an old friend of Shel's but
bridal party,really. Could this get any worse..

"Great" Ally smiled

"Good night" she added as she quickly disappeared behind the bedroom
door not even waiting for a response from any of the girls.

Falling on her bed as her head hit the pillow, she felt nauseous. Nauseous
how amazing Katie looked, nauseous how hot Jane was. Nauseous how nice
Jane seemed and nauseous to how much time she was going to have to
spend with Jane and Katie..

**
"Wakey wakey Ally baby" Rach hummed as she dusted her toe against
Ally's nose, Ally shifted in her sleep as she scratched her nose. A musty
smell caused her to groan as her eyes flickered open.

"Ewwwww" Ally grumbled as she pushed Rach's foot away from her.

"You really need to learn to wash your feet properly" she added as she
pulled her duvet over head.

"I see you are still a crank in the morning" Rach teased as she lifted the
duvet from Ally's grip and slid in next to her friend.

"About last night.." Rach started off

"That was a bit shitty of her turning up last night, I swear if I knew I would
have said something to Katie before but Katie didn't know..I spoke to her
yesterday afternoon and she said she was just borrowing Jane's car" Rach
blurted.

This was a change, Rach was actually defending Katie. The woman she
couldn't stand when Ally was still married to her. Now all of sudden they
are chums. Ally felt queasy as she remained silent.

"Anyway enough about that, How did you sleep" Rach asked swiftly
changing the subject

"Fantastic, I heard Jane's intoxicating laugh until well after midnight" Ally
replied dryly as her eyes remained lazy, she wasn't letting this go.

"Do I sense some jealously" Rach teased as Ally's eyes shot open..if it was
any other person Ally would bullshit her way saying of course not but no
matter what lie Ally would come up with Rach would figure it out.

"She seems perfect" Ally sighed

"A model, blonde, tall, nice and a fabulous set of tits on her..whats not to be
jealous of"
"Ex model and blondes are overrated these days, I much prefer the
highlighted type..its more natural" Rach replied casually as she played with
Ally's coloured hair.

It made Ally smile at how Rach was attempting to make her feel better A*
for effort but Jane really did seem like a catch.

"She does have a nice rack on her though..I can't fault you on that" Rach
giggled as Ally's eyes rolled smacking her pillow into her friends face.

Fortunately there wasn't much left to organise with the wedding. The
wedding was next month and Shel had already finalised every last detail
just before christmas which left Rach at ease knowing she had nothing to
organise except their hen party.

Lesbians being lesbians they decided to have one big bash for their hen
party. Both girls were inviting their closest friends for a weekend to
Manchester organised for two weeks away.

Rach being a party girl had arranged everything a couple of weeks back
which meant all Ally had to do with this wedding was to wear a dress and
look pretty. After the night she had last night Ally cursed herself for not
bringing a date to the wedding.

She had been having casual flings here and there but nothing was ever more
serious than casual hook ups..

Although Megan would have been perfect..she was a 22 year old art student
Ally had met at a beach party out in St. Kilda one night last summer. It was
hardly love at first site, more like Ally had a few too many Cosmos and
fucked Megan against the pier wall.

It always remained casual between the two. Megan was similar to Ally, nice
body and bubbly personality which meant she could have who ever she
wanted.
This is why it suited Ally and Megan to hook up, if they didn't find anyone
half descent it meant they had their safe guard of each other for company by
the end of a drunken night.

Ally knew this was what she deserved..there was no running back to Oz
with some stupid excuse about work bailing on her best friends wedding.
She had to endure every part of this wedding which included watching her
ex wife being loved up with her girlfriend.

From what Ally could remember from past conversations with Rach. Jane
was in her early thirties and had travelled the world modelling in places like
Milan and Paris for fashion shows.

She was now a successful fashion designer owning her own boutique in
Mayfair. Ally knew Katie and Shel had stayed in contact after Ally had left
on her travels so what does one friend do to help her two hot single friends.

Set them up and boom they may live happily ever after while Ally turns
thirty in a couple of weeks, sad and alone. This was how her life was
suppose to be, she deserved this after messing up her marriage, it still hurt
like hell.

Ally made her way up an all too familiar corridor, god she missed this
place. The fresh smell of burning skin and disinfectant what was not to love
about her old work.

"Oh my fucking god" Sarah gasped as she looked up from the check in
desk.

"Miss me bitch" Ally chuckled as she watched her old work bud die squeal
as she raced around her desk.

"Allllly I can believe it" Sarah said as she squeezed the life out of Ally who
struggled to breath.

"Ok ok can't breath" Ally gasped as Sarah muttered a quick apology and
removed her body from Ally's.
"You look amazing" Sarah complimented Ally as she played with her wavy
hair

"You too, how is baby number three" Ally asked as Sarah immediately took
out her phone and insisted on showing Ally tons of photos of her kids.

"So what has you in check in area, have you pissed Sandra off to the max
that you've been banished here until you are retiring" Ally laughed as Sarah
gave her a nervous chuckle.

"Haven't you heard" Sarah frowned slightly

"Didn't Katie tell you..."

"Tell me what" Ally asked shaking her head in confusion suddenly feeling
an unwanted knot in her stomach...

**

Ally sighed as she heard muffled voices the other side of her old flat's door.
Giving it the one, two, three she twisted her key as the door unlocked.

Girls lots and lots of girls were scattered around the apartment as a party
was in full swing.

"Allllllllllly" Rach squealed as she pulled her friend into a tight hug. Ally
acted polite as she worked her way through hugged all her old friends she
had met through Shel and Rach and meeting a few newbies to the group.

Finally slipping away from the crowd she smiled weakly at people who
stood around the room as she made her way into the kitchen. After the day
she had she needed a drink. Ally stopped in her tracks as she watched Katie
being pressed against the kitchen work top with Jane's tongue down her
throat..REALLY was this necessary.

She shook her head as she proceeded into the kitchen grabbing a glass and
slamming the fridge door both girls tore apart.
"Ally..hey" Katie stuttered as she pushed Jane to her left slightly keeping a
small gap. Ally didn't bother to even look at the pair as she poured a large
vodka with a dash of juice taking an enormous gulp.

"Ladies" Ally grinned fakely finally giving them the once over before
polishing off the rest of her drink. Pouring out the same mixture Katie
watched worriedly debating whether she should say anything to her ex wife
or not.

Jane clung to her tightly as her nose brushed against Katie's neck clearly
wanting to finish what she had started before Ally came into the room.

"You ok" Katie finally said as she manoeuvred her neck away slightly until
Jane sighed and finally got the hint.

"Peachy" Ally replied dryly as she took another large gulp of her drink.

"I went to see Sandra today" she added as Katie's body froze.

"Jane will you give us a minute" Katie mumbled but it was too late Ally's
anger flared.

"Oh no she can stay since she seems to be attached to your hip" Ally shot
back as Jane scoffed.

"Jane please" Katie mumbled "a minute". Jane huffed as she glared at Ally
placing a lingering kiss on Katie's tense body and leaving the kitchen

"Al...I.."

"Don't" Ally warned as she could feel her tears prick her eyes.

"She told me not to say anything" Katie shot back, she hated seeing Ally's
tears form as they slowly one by one streamed her face.

"I didn't want you to be upset over there"

"Oh and so it's ok to come back here and be upset now while you play tonsil
tennis with that" Ally shouted pointing towards the direction Jane had set
off.

"About last night I'm sorry"

"Saying that word a lot nowadays are you" Ally snapped

"What's that suppose to mean" Katie shot back as her body leapt forward
losing her temper.

"Nothing" Ally mumbled

"I get that you've moved on trust me I do but if you have even one ounce of
respect left for me, next time don't bring your fucking girlfriend to the
airport or dry hump her in my kitchen"

"I said I was sorry" Katie shouted

"I see you're still as stubborn as ever and besides it's hardly your kitchen
anymore now is it since you fucked off to the other side of the world"

"Fuck you" Ally shouted through her tears.

"What is going on" Rach snapped as she entered the kitchen after
overhearing voices from the sitting room.

Ally wiped her tears away as she shook her head. She wasn't about to start
world war 3 with Katie especially when it was Rach and Shel's wedding
coming up.Jane stood sour face behind Rach as Ally sighed.

"Nothing" Ally muttered

"Jet lag, I'm going to bed" she added as she gripped the bottle of vodka and
forgetting about the juice it was beyond that stage now as she place a quick
kiss on Rach's cheek brushing passed.

"Ally" Katie shouted from the kitchen as Ally held her head high ignoring
her ex wife and the stares from around her.
"Night" she said awkwardly to the group as she dashed for her bedroom,
this was by far the worse day ever.

***

Ally cracked her knuckles as she opened the small gate leading to a terrace
house half an hour outside London city.

She felt nervous..unknown what to expect as she knocked lightly on the

wooden door. Glancing around the street she was definitely sure Sarah had
given her the right address.

Knocking again impatiently she faintly heard the sound of a door opening
and closing seconds later as Ally took a step back from the large door.
Sandra's pasty face appeared from behind the door as a bandana wrapped
firmly over her head.

"Hey Sandy" Ally smiled knowing how much her old boss hated being
called that.

A bright smile appeared on Sandra's gaunt face, as Ally's lips began to

tremble..the small woman beckoned for her into her arms as Ally sobbed...

"You look great" Sandra said as they settled in the sitting room, having
spent 10 minutes fixing two cups of tea she refused to let Ally help her.

"So people keep saying" Ally replied rolling her eyes. Maybe she did look
great with her sun silk tan but inside she felt miserable and all the more
since seeing Katie with Jane last night.

"Really you do Alison" Sandra smiled weakly.

"You look like shit" Ally said bluntly. So she broke down out on the door
step 15 minutes ago but she sure as hell wasn't going to change her and
Sandra's way of speaking to one another.

"Well that's a first...don't you think it suits me" Sandra replied as she
brushed her fingers over her bright pink bandana almost matching the
scrub hat she used to wear in surgery.
Ally shuffled closer to her old boss as she gently skimmed her fingers over
the material and pulled on the end lightly.

Sandra didn't need this, she didn't need to cover up in her own house. Ally
removed the material as Sandra watched her intently as the young nurse
brushed her finger tips lightly over her few strands of fair hair.

"How long" Ally asked snatching her hand back as she tried to keep her
composure.

"Few months..maybe if I'm lucky"Sandra replied as Ally inhaled deeply.

"I didn't know..Katie didn't tell me" Ally sniffed as Sandra reached grasping
her hand

"I told her not to tell you" Sandra replied giving Ally's hand a light squeeze

"Why" Ally mumbled as fresh tears streamed her face.

"Because look at you now..you looked fabulous walking in here 15 minutes

ago and now you look awful" Sandra replied

"Very ugly when you cry so stop it" she teased as Ally began to laugh her
tears away. Sandra was by far her favourite boss ever.

Despite regular run ins she had the utmost respect for Sandra as her
manager and could only hope one day she would be able to half as good as
she was.

"So tell me about you...how has Australia been treating you...judging by

that tan you must have pulled plenty of those sick days, I should have a
word with your boss" Sandra huffed

"No can do..I'm afraid I'm the boss now" Ally grinned as Sandra's eyes
widened "I became the ortho CNM last year"

"Pffffft orthopaedics...Those witch doctors do a better job with bones than

those good for nothing surgeons" Sandra huffed as Ally laughed knowing
Sandra was an exceptionally good manager in the theatre but Sandra was a
vascular nurse through and through just like Katie with her surgeries.

"I enjoy it most of the time" Ally smiled empathising now with Sandra how
stressful being a manager is.

"And how are things with Ms Thomas" Sandra asked as Ally sighed
shrugging her shoulders.

"Good as they can be..we email every now and then nothing major..there's
only so much you can say to the person you loved more than life itself and
let her go" Ally replied.

She was angry at Katie for not telling her about Sandra's cancer even if
Sandra warned her not to. Katie should have known how Ally would have
wanted to know.

"I met that Jane lassie at the hospital ball a few months back" Sandra said
as she retrieved a square tin from her pocket.

"Seems like an airhead if you ask me and terrible teeth" she added causing
Ally to smile it was like Rach all over again trying to make Ally feel good
about the situation.

"Do you know what the best part about dying of cancer is" Sandra
questioned as she removed a joint and lighter from the small tin, lighting it
in her mouth she took a couple of drags as it began to take its effect.

"You can get high whenever you want" Sandra giggled as she passed the
joint to a laughing Ally.
 Chapter 20

It was 10 o' clock and Ally had already been to visit Sandra for an hour and
just back from a 5 mile run. Making her way into her old flat she smirked at
the state of the place the girls had left it in last night.

Ally began clearing the empty bottles and cans. She felt bad for bailing on
Rach last night and her party but after spending an emotional afternoon
with Sandra after finding out the one woman she respected the most in her
line of work was going to be dead before Christmas, partying was the last
thing she wanted to do.

She had dumped the half bottle of vodka next to her on the bed as she
drifted off to sleep ignoring the music and laughter outside. She was still
pissed at Katie, maybe Ally got riled up seeing Jane all over Katie in the
kitchen and the fact Katie snogged her girlfriend where her ex was staying
knowing Ally could walk into the kitchen at anytime.

Ok so Ally was really pissed at Katie but Katie kept Sandra's illness from
her for over a year. So what if her and Katie hardly spoke everyday but they
did email each other every now and then, especially with birthdays and
Christmas.

Ally deserved to know the truth, maybe if Katie had told her sooner. Ally
could have came back to visit, she hated seeing how frail and vulnerable the
woman who used to boss her around and make her do her job efficiently.
Ally knew she couldn't cure cancer but maybe she could have been there for
Sandra..

"Morning" Rach groaned holding her head as she looked worse for wear

"Hey" Ally replied throwing the last of the empties into a black sack.
"How was last night" Ally asked as she began to collect the empty glasses
and strolled into the kitchen.

"Good but it would have been better if my best friend was there" Rach
yawned as she leaned against the kitchen counter.

"Babe I'm sorry I found out some shitty news that Sandra is dying and Katie
knew and didn't say a word to me...Plus she was practically shagging Jane
when I came in here last night" Ally sighed dramatically, running the hot
water as squeezed some washing up liquid into the sink watching the
bubbles appear.

"I was wondering what happened between you too, she seemed upset after
your quick exit and left straight away" Rach replied casually as Ally bit her
lip nervously knowing she was angry last night.

"I think we should stay away from each other" Ally said as her face winced
looking at Rach's open mouth reaction

"It's for the best Rach...I'm here for you and Shel..I don't want things to be
awkward and any way she's got Jane..I'm not going to be some needy ex
wife" Ally sighed as she began cleaning the glasses.

"Ally" Rach huffed as she thought about her words she wanted to use, Ally
loved how her friend would try her hardest not to be a blunt bitch but in the
end she always ended up saying it how it was..

"You are being selfish" Rach said casually as she nodded at her own choice
of words.

"I'm being selfish" Ally snapped. Now wasn't one of those times she loved
Rach for her bluntness

"She's the one snogging the face off her blown up Barbie doll right there in
front of me" she added as she suddenly felt better releasing her jealousy.

"You know Ally I love you dearly, really I do" Rach said as she held her
hand across her heart "
But you are one fucked up girl you know that" she added as Ally frowned.

"You were the one who ran away, wanted her to move on a be happy and
now you are acting like a jealous teenager because you are still in love with
your ex wife and don't even think about fucking denying it Alison" Rach
said as she held her finger up in protest.

"I'm team Kally trust me I am but this was your choice and Jane will be
sticking around whether you like it or not so I suggest you get back on that
plane if you can't deal with this or suck it up be civil for everyone's sake
and be there for your best mate who really really reaaaally wants you to
stick around for her wedding" Rach smiled weakly through her begging
eyes as Ally's face softened slowly with her words.

"You are right I'm being a twat and I'm sorry" Ally mumbled as she flicked
her wet hands and walked over to her friend wrapping her arms around her.
Ally was just going to have to suck it up for the next few weeks.

"I'm always here for you babe no matter what" Rach mumbled into her
friends head as they held each other tightly.

"I know it can't be easy seeing her with Jane but please just try and be
civil". Ally nodded against Rach's shoulder in response she needed to put
her feelings aways. This was Rach's wedding and she was not going to ruin
it for her friend.

"Am I missing out on some action" Shel yawned as she stretched her way
into the kitchen.

"Come here" Ally mumbled keeping her arm around Rach as she beckoned
Shel to join them.

"I love you guys so much" Ally sighed as they all held each other.

"Lets go out tonight, let me make up for being a shit head the past couple of
nights...XnO's or whatever its called now and invite everyone" Ally chirped
as the two girls groaned..
*

Ally grinned as she followed Rach and Ally to Ruby's. When she first
moved to London and moved in with Rach the girls lived in this club.

Now under a new name and management. Ally was excited to be back in
one of her favourite clubs. Rach approached a lean looking woman who
looked to be in her early forties and was covered in random tattoo's up her
arms as she gave Rach and Shel a hug.

"Tiff, this is Ally my long lost friend I've been telling you about..Ally this is
Tiff..the new owner of the place" Rach shouted over the music.

"Nice to meet you" Ally smiled at the older woman whose eyes roamed up
and down her body causing her to laugh.

"Subtle much" Ally smirked as Tiff's hand found hers placing a sweet kiss
on her hand as Ally continued to laugh.

"Hey she's only back, I don't need you scaring her away before my big day"
Shel warned the black haired woman who gave Ally a wink and pointed
towards the seats beyond the stage.

"I have blocked off the whole area for you ladies tonight" Tiff shouted over
the music

"Some of the others are already up there wait, I'll catch you girls later" she
said to the couple turning her attention back to Ally.

"It was a pleasure to meet you beautiful" Tiff bowed causing Ally to
giggle..she knew this Tiff girl was flirting and most likely the biggest player
in her own club but she amused Ally.

Tiff blew Ally a kiss and disappeared back behind the bar as Ally laughed at
Rach who was smirking

"I like her" Ally giggled "she's funny"

"mmmmmhuh....come on trouble" Rach hummed as she gripped Ally's hand
and followed her fiancé...

Two hours later and Ally began to relax..sure she had a few drinks in her
but still sober it was the first time she felt relaxed since being back in
London..seeing Sandra this morning just chatting and spending time with
her she felt at ease.

Rach had made her really think about things with Katie, she was right. Ally
couldn't take things out on Katie so she was jealous but that wasn't Katie's
fault.

Ally knew she was just going to have to suck it up and let Katie be happy
with Jane, get this wedding out of the way and then Ally could piss off back
to Australia and get back to her job.

"Want to dance hot stuff" Rach whispered in her friends ear as Ally bashed
her eye lids and followed the blonde down to the dance floor. They giggled
and swayed to the music just like old times.

"Thank you" Ally shouted over the music as Rach raised an eye brow
continuing to dance

"I mean for everything, for letting me stay with you guys, for putting up
with my tantrums and knocking some sense into me" Ally said as she
twirled the blonde in her grip.

"No probs babe you can get ahead of yourself sometimes but you know
what would really make my night even better" Rach asked now twirling
Ally in towards her and back out again as her head nodded in the direction
of the bar where a frowning Katie stood watching the pair.

"Be friends, pretty please" Rach begged as Ally rolled her eyes.

"It would mean a lot to Shel if there's no tension at this wedding so sort this
out before she picks up on it" Rach encouraged her friend. Ally sighed as
she looked over to Katie once again who gave her a weak smile.

"Fiiiiiine but I'm only doing this for you" Ally grumbled pushing past her
friend and slapping Rach's arse as she headed for the bar.

"Hey" Ally said sliding up to the bar as she stood next to her ex wife.

"Hi" Katie replied nervously as she gripped her glass of wine. Silence fell
between the two women.

"I just want to say sorry.."

"No" Ally interrupted.

"You have nothing to be sorry about, I know Sandra told you not to say
anything..I just thought you would have that's all..but let's forget about it
ok..I'm sorry for overreacting last night" Ally said sincerely.

"It's just hard ya know" Ally said truthfully.

Everything was hard, coming back. The news about Sandra, seeing Katie
moving on.

"I know" Katie whispered her eyes nervously diverting across the club to
where Jane glared at the pair.

"Listen about last night you walking in..I didn't.."

"Let's not" Ally interrupted.

"You seem happy" Ally said as her eyes followed the surgeons, Ally gave
Jane a short wave and beckoned her to come over.

Katie nodded as she gave her ex wife a weak smile.

"We should catch up soon" she mumbled quickly before Jane made her way
towards them.

"Soon" Ally agreed as she turned to get the barmaids attention.

"Get these two ladies whatever they are having and keep the change" Ally
smiled to the butch looking woman behind the bar as Jane reluctantly
ordered two wines, Katie gave Ally a grateful smile.

"Jane I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable last night, I just got some
bad news and shouldn't have spoken to Katie in that way especially in front
of you...I hope you can accept my apology" Ally said as she braved a smile,
giving Jane's arm a quick brush she gave Katie one last smile before leaving
the pair be.

So she should feel better for being the bigger person and apologising for her
behaviour but instead she feels slightly tipsy and a tenner poorer for buying
her ex wife and ex wife's current girlfriend a drink, great now she needed a
drink.

"Well well if it isn't my beautiful Aussie girl" a hot breath tickled Ally's ear
as she sat at the table which consisted of a group of drunken lesbians
including Rach playing tonsil tennis with her future wife.

Jane wrapped firmly around Katie and a few other girls who rudely
interrupted one another as one girl stuttered her way through another
drunken story.

"You do realise I'm from Brighton yeh" Ally laughed as she watched Tiff
pull out a chair opposite Ally as she sat next to Jane who shifted even
further into Katie.

"Brisbane...Brighton both have beaches and beautiful bitche..."

"Ah ah don't" Ally warned with a laugh as she held her finger against Tiff's
open mouth.

"Charming as always Tiffany" Jane snorted at Tiff and diverted her attention
to Katie who's jaw clenched tightly before taking a sip of her wine. Tiff
took Ally's raised hand in her own as she played with Ally's fingers.
"So I hear you are around for a while" Tiff asked keeping her flirtatious
grip.

"Hmmm until after the wedding anyway" Ally replied back catching Katie
staring at her intently before quickly looking away as she kissed Jane's
forehead... 1-0 to Katie.

"Want a job until then" Tiff asked as Ally casually retracted her hand
leaning her chin against her palm. This was going to be interesting..

"I need an extra pair of hands behind the bar a couple of nights a week and
you will be more than perfect for the job" Tiff said a little too pervy as she
practically eye fucked Ally there and then.

Ally was used to lesbians like Tiff..a dirty mouth that could talk their way
into bed with any girl they wanted. The last thing Ally wanted to do was
work in lesbian club full of drunken lesbians every night of the week. She
had enough to deal with looking after herself after one too many.

"You are joking right" Rach sniggered breaking away from a breathless
Shel who clung off the blonde.

"What is that suppose to mean" Ally shot back.

"Oh come on you would drink that bar dry" Rach replied as the table broke
into a fit of laughter including her ex wife.

"Shut up" Ally huffed and turned her attention back to Tiff who's eyes were
firmly on Ally's low cut top.

"You know what..fuck it I'll do some shifts" Ally chirped as Tiff's eyes lit up
remaining on Ally's breasts..

Of course she didn't want to work in a bar but being made a show of in front
of everyone including Katie she wasn't going to turn the offer down.

"You have got to be shitting me...you wouldn't last one night behind that
bar" Rach teased as the group glanced to the bar where some of the staff
already had their hands full with some drunken girls fighting over some
blonde.

"Don't you worry Rachel, I'll keep an eye on her at all times" Tiff murmured
biting her lip practically undressing Ally with her eyes as Katie excused
herself and stalked towards the toilet causing Ally to smirk. 1-1 to Ally.
 Chapter 21

"Hiya gorgeous" Ally cooed as she removed her nephews straps of his
buggy as his tiny legs wrapped around her waist.

"Hiya" he smiled his new favourite word of the week. Slowly but surely he
was picking up mama and dada but his over use of hiya was by far the
cutest.

"Are you sure you are up for this" Denny asked as she placed the Luke's
baby bag on the couch.

"Of course, he's family after all...aren't you handsome" Ally murmured
softly to the dark haired baby who mumbled jibberish holding onto his
aunties necklace firmly.

"Ok well I've got my phone and Pete's got his so ring if there's anything"
Denny warned as Ally rolled her eyes waving her away with Luke's little
hand.

"Bye bye mama" Ally said ushering her little sister out of the flat

"Go enjoy yourself and don't worry Lukey will look after me" Ally smiled
swaying her hip as the little boy squealed clapping his hands together
squealing hiya once again.

"Thank you I owe you one" Denny smiled placing a loving kiss on her son's
head and kissing her older sister's cheek.

"Bye and tell Pete he better behave himself or I'll kidnap him on my harley"
Ally teased as her sister chuckled and walked down the hallway waving as
she descended the stairs.
Ally had been back a little over a week. Having met Luke and Pete for the
first time a few days ago, Ally couldn't keep away from her little nephew.
Denny had met Pete on a girls weekend to London and 9 months later out
came Luke who was almost 2 and the cutest little boy in the world.

With Dennys dark hair and Pete's blue eyes he really was adorable and Ally
insisted on taking him for the night so Pete could bring Denny out for a
decent night out. Although Pete had told Ally he expected her to be less
feminine and to ride motorbikes Ally soon laughed it off and they actually
got on well with one another.

Truth was Ally was only delighted to offer to take Luke for the night since it
meant she had a valid excuse of not going out tonight. She had worked her
first shift last night in Ruby's and well things started out fun had ended sour
and with Ally waking up with the worst hangover ever however Tiff was
only happy to offer her more shifts whenever it suited Ally judging by her
text this morning.

Drink and Katie apparently don't mix well with Ally anymore so she was
only glad to be sat in tonight minding her nephew while everyone else was
out enjoying themselves. It annoyed her how much of a socialite Katie now
was.

She was now going to bars any night of the week, she never done that when
they were married..unless they had some event to attend to or they were
going out for dinner.

Ally and Katie pretty much spent their nights at home in front of the telly
but who was Ally to judge she was merely just her ex wife. Rach and Shel
were taking their wedding celebration to a whole new level..they had been
out most nights since Ally was back meeting up with different friends
before the wedding and it was still 3 weeks until their wedding day.

Ally knew by the time she was ready to leave again she was in dire need of
a detox from all the drinking.

A loud knock to the door startled Ally as Luke bounced on her

knee,wearing a white tank top and baggy trackies she definitely wasn't
expecting any visitors.

"Let's see who's at the door little man" Ally chirped kissing Luke's head as
she carried him to the front door.

"Well well hello there sexy" Tiff said in a low seductive voice as she leaned
against the door frame holding some flowers and wine as Ally smirked.

"Oh I didn't know you had company" Tiff shot up almost afraid of the little
guy who sucked his fingers as he gazed at her inked arms.

"Tiff hey what are you doing here" Ally smiled as she stepped back
beckoning the older woman to enter the flat.

"I just thought I would stop by to see how my favourite employee was
doing but I can see you have your hands full" Tiff replied turning her nose
up at the dirty nappy that was sitting in an open bag on the couch almost
causing her to vomit.

"It's saturday shouldn't you be working" Ally asked as she placed Luke
happily on the mat with his toys as she began tidying the child infested flat.

"I'm the boss so I do what I want" Tiff replied seductively as she strolled up
next to Ally and handed her the flowers.

"Aww how sweet" Ally smiled.

"But I'm still not sleeping with you" she laughed as Tiff frowned.

"So you remember the last night then" Tiff grumbled as Ally continued a
light chuckle finally feeling somewhat over her whole melt down last night
in work.

"You know you should really have a policy on staff drinking when they are
working..it could be a hazard some night" Ally replied as she stepped
around the taller woman and as she replaced the rotted flowers Katie had
given her last week at the airport with the fresh daisies.
"Now why should I forbid a lesbian on one side of the bar wanting to buy a
smoking hot lesbian on the opposite of the bar and drinking it just because
she's working...I make money and I got to see how even sexier you are with
a few drinks in you despite not keeping grip of your emotions" Tiff replied
as she gave Ally a flirtatious wink following the nurse over towards the
couch.

"You just don't give up do you" Ally laughed sitting down as she kept a
close eye on her nephew who happily sat on the mat in front of her playing
with his toys Ally had bought him.

"Why would I" Tiff leaned forward keeping her gaze on Ally "you have no
idea how fucking sexy you are" she added as her hot breath tickled Ally's
lips.

Sure Ally was attracted to Tiff why wouldn't she be she looked amazing for
a forty two year old and had a mouth that most likely bedded half of the
straight girls of Camden, maybe this was what she needed. A distraction
from Katie from the horrible thoughts of Katie and Jane.

Ally leapt forward as her tongue darted into Tiff's causing the older woman
to moan as she gripped Ally's slender body between her arms pulling Ally
on top of her as the nurse straddled the dark haired woman.

Ally grinded into Tiff's thigh as she felt her wetness, sure there was no love
or affection between the pair. It was pure lust and pent up frustration,
hearing Luke coo behind her Ally immediately tore her lips from the dark
haired woman.

"We have to stop" Ally said breathlessly as she tried to remove Tiff's
wandering hand under her top. Tiff ignored her as she began sucking on
Ally's neck causing Ally to groan as she pressed further into Tiff.

"Seriously...Luke's here we can't" Ally mumbled her fingers lost in Tiff's

long locks.

"Mmmmmmm come on Al you're killing me" Tiff grumbled as her hands

traced over Ally's bra. Ally's body tensed with her words...no one called her
Al except for Katie.

"Hey what's up" Tiff asked tracing her thumb over Ally's hardened nipple
under her bra. Ally swallowed the hard lump in her throat as she slowly
climbed back onto the couch next to a groaning Tiff who sulked like a
school girl.

"Ally" she mumbled trying to touch Ally anyway she could but the moment
was gone.

Whatever chance of Ally giving in to her lust in that split second it was well
and truly gone, all she could think about was Katie.

How Katie used to call her Al or be the one to make her moan on this very
couch. She wished she could just put Luke to bed and let Tiff fuck all
thoughts of Katie out of her but she couldn't.

Coming back to London was making her feelings more real, at least in
Australia she could block out her thoughts knowing she was the other side
of the world but now seeing her face, seeing her old katie was driving her
insane.

Ally was completely head over heels still in love with her ex wife and there
was not one thing she could do about it but avoid the surgeon like the
plague after last night.

"Can you leave please" Ally mumbled as she raked her fingers through her
hair.

"Ally what..come on..what's up" Tiff questioned "I thought you were
enjoying it" she added

"Please just go" Ally sniffed suddenly feeling exposed and vulnerable
despite being fully clothed. Tiff sighed as brushed back her dark hair from
her face, standing up in defeat she wasn't going to push Ally any more.
Leaning down she placed a sweet kiss on Ally's cheek.

"Call me ok" Tiff said quietly as Ally smiled and gave her a quick nod
"Remember what I said last night..Fun" Tiff added as Ally sat watching the
older woman head straight for the door.

***

"Ok so that's the basics" Karen smiled who was one of the bar staff at
Ruby's. She'd just shown Ally the basics of the bar.

It was after nine and the place was already beginning to fill up on a Friday
night. Ally had dreaded coming to work all day she wished she hadn't been
stubborn about Rach teasing her because now she was stuck behind this bar
for the next 6 hours.

Luckily Ally was fond of her drink so she knew just about every drink and
cocktail going.

"What can I get you" she smiled as she approached a middle age woman
dressed in a grey suit standing next to the bar waving a 20 pound note for
anyone's attention.

Their eyes connected and immediately Ally flashed the woman a sexy grin,
if she was going to work behind the bar she was going to play the part.

"Gin and tonic please and whatever you are having" the woman smirked as
Ally gave her a wink and began preparing the woman's drink.

"You are good" Karen whispered into Ally's ear as they queued for the till.

An hour later and the bar was full of lesbians, all shapes and sizes Ally was
loving it.

"How you getting on beautiful" Tiff asked rushing behind the bar as she
began pouring pints of lager.

"Good..I'm actually enjoying it and I've had 5 drinks bought for me too"
Ally chirped.

"What did you have" Tif asked as she placed the lagers in front of the
customer and proceeded to the till.
"Well nothing yet" Ally frowned as she carefully poured out the cocktail
mixture from the shaker.

"Whaaaaaaaat" Tiff gasped checking the time on the wall handing the lady
back her change.

"You have been working over an hour and you haven't had one drink yet"
Tiff snapped as she grabbed a bottle of tequila as Ally served her finest
cocktails earning herself a nice tip.

"Come here" Tiff ordered as Ally ignored the ladies whistling for her
attention.

Tiff stretched Ally's hand out as she placed two lines of salt on her
hand..bending down Tiff's tongue brushed along Ally's skin as her head
popped back up to knock back the shot of tequila and squirming as she
placed the lemon between her teeth.

Tiff ordered the brunette to mimic her actions as Ally did what she was told
shuddering as the burning liquid descended her throat.

"Drink the night away otherwise you'll be bored" Tiff winked as she placed
a lingering kiss against Ally's flushed cheek. Well this was a first actually
allowed to get drunk on the job.

Ally remembered if Sandra ever so much as got a whiff of Ally's antics from
the night before she was immediately sent to do paper work for her entire
shift, then again she knew herself she would do the same to any of her
staff..patients lives were at risk.

Ally quickly turned back to the busy bar as she caught three familiar faces
glaring at her..Rach and Shel had smirks plastered on their face whilst
Katie stood there like as Ally had slapped her with a wet sloppy fish.

"Hey" Ally cleared her throat.

"Hey yourself" Rach teased as she wiggled her eyes brows at a blushing
Ally.
"What can I get you guys" Ally asked as she ran a cloth along the wooden
section of the bar.

"3 tequilas and one for our sexy new bar staff" Shel declared waving a 50
pound note in the air.

"None for me" Katie said dryly "water please" she added and turned her
attention back to the DJ as Ally shrugged and prepare 3 tequilas.

"Cheers" the three friends said in unionisation as the gently clinked their
shot glasses before knocking it back and slamming the empties on the bar.

"Two beers when you ready too" Shel winked as she turned her attention to
Katie making sure she was ok.

"Where is lady Jane" Ally whispered to Rach who just shrugged her
shoulders and mumbled something about Paris.

"Why is she even here if she isn't even drinking" Ally added as Rach gave
her another shoulder shrug.

Katie gave Ally a cold stare before following Shel towards the smoking
area.

"Catch you guys later" Ally smiled as she waved her friends off who
disappeared into the crowd.

Ally loved girls and girls loved Ally...Having worked 4 hours she had
already made over a 100 quid in tips, got 12 girls numbers and 10 shots of
booze as well numerous flirty smiles.

So maybe working behind a bar had its perks. Beautiful women all around
her shouting for attention and some for her affection she was loving it. Ally
stumbled out to the smoking area as she began collecting glasses.

"Well look at you still standing" Shel teased Ally who gave a weak drunken
smile.
"Just about" Rach giggled taking a swig of her beer as Katie sat silently
watching Ally who swayed as she collected glasses from the empty tables.

"I'm so drunk" Ally whispered leaning down to the three women as she
looked suspiciously around at laughing women drinking and chatting in
groups.

Rach gripped Ally's ink covered hand with two numbers scribbled across
her skin as she began to laugh at her drunken friend.

"There are lesbians everywhere" Ally whispered as Rach burst into a fit of
giggles.

"I think someone's had too much tequila" Katie said dryly as she glared at
Ally. Ally's smile dropped.

She had hardly even spoke to Katie since she got back and tonight her first
opportunity without Jane snooping about but Katie was being cold and
bitchy to Ally who's blood was beginning to boil.

Katie had no right to comment on how drunk she was even if Ally knew
already she had too much tequila.

"Yeh and we all know what happens when Alison drinks too much tequila
don't we" Ally blurted out and regretting it as soon as the words left her
mouth as she watched Katie's jaw drop while Rach gasped.

"Nice Ally...really fucking mature" Katie snapped folding her arms tightly
across her chest as Shel and Rach sat awkwardly between the pair.

"I..eh..fuck" Ally muttered suddenly feeling embarrassed and ashamed.

"I didn't mean that" she added sincerely as Katie glared at her.

"You never do" Katie shot back.

"Some things never change do they" she snorted coldly as she looked at Ally
the very same way four years ago when she called her a drunk and a slut.
Ally held back her tears as Katie frowned suddenly realising they both had
said shit they shouldn't have. So much for being civil to one another Ally's
eyes were glossy as she gripped onto the glasses in her hand.

"I'll see you later" Ally mumbled towards Rach who's voice trailed after her
but Ally was back in doors in the busy club as she fought her hardest to
hold back her tears.

"Ally wait up" Tiff gripped Ally's elbow as she could see she was clearly
upset making her way towards the bar.

Tiff removed the empty glasses from Ally's trembling hands and directed the
brunette towards the stairs. Ally had never noticed the upstairs of the bar in
all the times being here, walking down a dark corridor Tiff ushered Ally into
the opened door to her office.

"Whats up" Tiff asked worried as Ally's tears were now streaming her
face..she was drunk and felt like such an idiot for saying that to Katie.

She regretted that night with Lydia ever since it happened and she didn't
know what got into her but she hated the way Katie glared at her
tonight..judging her for drinking and having a good time.

Ally felt guilty like she should be locked up and single for the rest of her life
but if Katie was already moving on why was Ally going to sit back and be
miserable for the rest of her life. She already punished herself enough for
losing the best thing that ever happened to her...Katie...

"I'm just drunk" Ally sniffed as Tiff pulled her tightly for a hug as she held
Ally while she sobbed for a couple of minutes.

Ally soon settled on the leather sofa in the corner of Tiff's office as Tiff
disappeared for a few minutes and returned with a bottle of whiskey and
two glasses.

"Here" Tiff mumbled handing Ally the tumbler with whiskey in it the smell
was enough to make Ally want to gag but despite being drunk and upset she
needed something to calm her nerves. Tiff held her own glass as she sat next
to the nurse.

"Listen Rach filled me in all about you and Katie months back...I know it
can't be easy seeing her" Tiff breathed out as Ally wiped her running
mascara with her finger tips.

"You know I can understand where you are coming from" Tiff sighed sipping
her whiskey as Ally mimicked her actions.

"Me and Jane used to fuck" she added as Ally spat the whisky over her
temporary boss. Tiff grunted as she wiped her wet face in her top as she
smirked at the brunette.

"Whaaaat" Ally gasped as Tiff nodded, suddenly Ally was forgetting about
the way Katie was being and more interested in how Tiff had even managed
to talk Jane into her bed.

"Yehhhh it was a few years back..when I was desperate and she was open
legged available" Tiff laughed as Ally's eyes widened her tears fading with
the shock.

"Jesus" Ally mumbled knocking back the rest of her drink.

"She's something else I tell you" Tiff sighed gripping the glass between her
hands.

"She will put up a fight if she knows you are eyeing up what belongs to her"
Tiff warned as Ally's eyes furrowed.

"I don't want to take anything from her" Ally grumbled.

"She can have Katie and all" Ally lied as Tiff let out a mock laugh..was it
really that obvious.

Rach had already called Ally up for still being in love with Katie and she
hadn't even opened her mouth.
"Listen beautiful you can have any girl you want downstairs but I know you
want her and only her" Tiff said as she entwined her fingers with Ally's as
Ally sighed.

"What am I going to do" Ally sniffed as fresh tears blurred her vision. She
was the one who punished herself for what she had done to Katie but now it
was tearing her apart seeing her Katie.

The woman who turned her life upside down and gave her everything she
needed..but now she wasn't her Katie anymore. She couldn't march
downstairs and argue with Katie and then go back and have extremely hot
make up sex like before.

She couldn't so much as look at Katie for longer than 3 seconds because it
tore her inside knowing the feelings she had tried to deny for the past 3
years had resurfaced as soon as her eyes connected with those blues eyes in
the airport.

"You are going to have fun" Tiff chirped as she enveloped Ally in her arms.

"You have got to push Katie and that baggage to the side while you're back
in London babe"

"Screw it..you'll be dead long enough..you're here for your mates wedding
and to enjoy it and guess what..." Tiff asked gripping the younger woman in
her arms to face her.

"What" Ally mumbled.

"I'm gonna make sure you do...you're going to have with me and we're
going to show Ms Thomas the surgeon..." Tiff mocked Jane's irritating voice
"exactly what she's missing" Tiff added giving Ally a flirtatious wink.

"Thank you" Ally smiled weakly wiping her tears as she gave Tiff a tight
hug as she sighed in relief..she needed to relax enjoy the wedding
celebration and forget about Jane and her perfect little life with Katie.
"So....." Tiff hummed as her fingers lightly traced circles on Ally's jean
covered thigh.

"I'm not sleeping with you" Ally snapped her head back letting out a light
chuckle as she shot to her feet extending her hand and pulling a groaning
Tiff with her as they went back down to the busy bar...

Ally quickly began to sober up after her encounter with Katie, she had
managed to avoid her ex wife at all costs even hiding in the store room
when she saw Katie come to the bar before leaving a few minutes later.

"Have you got fairy dust down there or something" Karen asked staring
between Ally's legs as she handed Ally a folded up piece of paper.

Ally smirked as she unfolded the paper as she glanced at a familiar mobile
number followed by

We need to talk please call me. Katie x

Ally felt her heart race as she stared at the piece of paper, the way Katie
wrote please made Ally's stomach flutter or how she squiggled an x after
her name.

Ally sighed as she ignored her body's reaction to the note, blocking out how
much she wanted to rip out her phone and dial Katie's number she couldn't.

They were purposely hurting one another and Ally was done trying to have
any sort of relationship Katie.

She tried but it was too hard..she held the piece of paper between her
fingers as tore the piece of paper numerous times and throwing it in the bin.

"What can I get you" Ally braved a smile to her next customer.

***

Ally slouched on the couch as she soon as she got Luke off to sleep.
Sending Tiff a quick message she apologised for what happened earlier and
she would see her tomorrow in work.
She felt embarrassed a moment of weakness with Tiff she had practically
dry humped her boss in front of her nephew. Things were already
complicated enough with Katie the last thing Ally wanted to do was make
things complicated with Tiff.

Even though they had only met in such a short time Ally loved being
around Tiff..they connected and although there was a physically attraction
on Tiff's side Ally felt like she had made a good friend.

Tiff had been there for Ally and truth was she was glad the older woman
was around especially since Rach was busy with the wedding and Shel.
Another knock to the door startled Ally as she checked the time it was just
before ten.

Brushing down her tank top she made her way to the door as she unlocked
it revealing a sad face Katie who leaned casually against the door frame
looking sexy as hell in her casual jumper, tight jeans and converse.

Ally gulped, she hated how her heart would race as soon as her eyes
connected with those bright blue eyes and how sweaty her palms became.
She hated how even after so many years Katie still had this effect over her.

"Hey" Katie smiled weakly keeping her eyes firmly on Ally's.

"Hi" Ally replied as she held the door close to shoulder not really sure why
Katie was here..no matter how annoyed Ally was after the other night one
look from her ex wife and it just slowly began melting away.

"We need to talk" Katie whispered her eyes pleading with Ally's. Ally
sighed as she stepped back opening the door watching as Katie step past her
and into the flat. This was going to be interesting...

Thanks for reading X

 Chapter 22

"You can't work on your birthday that's just stupid" Rach groaned on the
other end of the phone as Ally rolled her eyes as she walked from the
underground to Ruby's.

"Babe I'm thirty there's not much to celebrate except my days are numbered
before I find a grey hair" Ally replied racking her fingers through her
highlighted hair as she became paranoid.

"You are missing my point we could be celebrating you joining the rest of
us finally" Rach replied as she heard muffled voices in the background.

"Listen Rach as intriguing as the conversation is Tiff begged me to cover

for a few hours tonight, your hen is in 3 days we can have a drink
then..Love you Rach" Ally said as she walked to the entrance of work

"Ughhhh boooo you whore" Rach mumbled

"Where are you anyway" the blonde asked

"Just at Ruby's now..looks quiet" Ally added as she made her way through
the door suddenly the lights flickered on as "SURPRISE" echoed through
her phone and around her.

Ally gasped as she held a tight grip on her phone as she stepped back
looking at all the familiar faces around her including Rach who was now in
a fit of giggles pointing at her.

"Hang up the phone you twat" Rach laughed into the phone before putting
hers away and stepping towards Ally who was still standing by the door.
"Surprise birthday girl" Shel chirped pushing past Rach as she pulled Ally
into a tight hug.

"What the fuck" Ally mumbled to Rach as her fiancé squeezed Ally tightly
and released her as the crowd smiled and shouted happy birthdays towards
Ally.

"It wasn't just me" Rach replied defensively as she kissed her best friends
cheek and pointed towards the bar where Tiff winked and blew Ally a kiss.

"I hate the pair of you" Ally sulked as Rach smacked Ally's arse pushing her
towards the crowd of Ally's friends.

**

"Having a good time sweet thing" Tiff handed Ally a fresh glass of vodka
and coke as a few of Ally's old friends left the brunette with the older
woman.

"You know I felt so bad when you rang me this morning saying you were
vomiting and begging for me to come in" Ally huffed.

"Well how else were we going to make it a surprise for you...thirty's a big
mile stone in your life babe..what better way to ring it in than with your
mates and some hot babes in a bar" Tiff smiled looking around her club..she
really was proud of her club and Ally admired how dedicated Tiff was in
running her business.

"Hot babes aye" Ally questioned taking a sip of her drink as she glanced
around the bar.

Blondes, brunettes, red heads you name it they were there..although Ally
knew quite a few people here there were still some random girls scattered
around the club as it was an open night for customers.

"Don't look now but you're even being watched" Tiff said discreetly sipping
her own drink as Ally's eye scanned the room

"Who" Ally questioned.

"Left to the stage" Tiff said casually looking over Ally's shoulder as Ally's
head snapped around her eyes connecting with a guilty faced Katie who
stood awkwardly next Jane who was deep in conversation with a blonde
middle aged woman.

Ally snapped her body back around to face a confused Tiff as Ally gulped
back her drink.

"Trouble in paradise" Tiff asked keeping an eye on Katie whose eyes

pleaded for Ally to turn back around.

"Let's get some shots" Ally said ignoring Tiff as she marched towards the
bar as Tiff quickly followed....

***

"What are you doing here" Ally asked nervously as she made her way into
the flat and towards the kitchen, she filled the kettle with water.

She wanted to pour herself a drink but considering her ex wife practically
fed off Ally's drinking habits, Ally was not about to let Katie have the upper
hand.

"I think it's about time we sat down and talked don't you" Katie said her
voice right behind Ally caused her to jump slightly as she turned around her
eyes connected with those blue eyes she felt weak at the knees. Keep it cool
Ally she thought to herself as she cleared her throat..

"We have to be quiet..Luke's sleeping in my room" Ally replied as Katie's lip

twitched slightly.

"Ally I'm not here to argue..just talk ok" she said softly as Ally nodded and
quickly turned around to make the tea....

"He's gorgeous..He's grown so much since I last seen him" Katie whispered
her finger lightly brushing over Luke's dark hair.
"Yeah Denny said you've kept in touch" Ally whispered pulling the blanket
up slightly on her nephew as she left him sleeping.

Katie hummed in reply as she left Ally's old room and closed the door
quietly.

"So where's Jane" Ally questioned knowing full well Katie would not be in
her flat if her girlfriend was within a 10 mile radius.

"Paris..something came up with work...she's back tomorrow" Katie replied

as Ally nodded heading for the couch.

"So I waited for you to text me" Katie said quickly changing the topic as
Ally could sense the irritation in her voice.

Ally sighed as she sat on one end of the couch half expecting Katie to sit on
the one seated leather couch opposite but her ex wife sat next to her not
removing her gaze.

"I didn't think it was a good idea" Ally replied honestly as Katie frowned.

"Look Katie" Ally sighed as she watched Katie shift slightly knowing she
wasn't going to enjoy what was about to come out of Ally's mouth.

"I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you the other night..."

"Me too" Katie blurted out.

"I think maybe we shouldn't do this.." Ally stuttered trying to find the right
words to say...she was used to the days where she shared everything with
Katie. All her worries and problems..a bed...hell they even shared a shower
every morning before work for two years but now she threaded softly with
her words...the wounds of their marriage were still clearly healing...

"I mean..Katie we were never friends" Ally said as Katie's eye brows
furrowed deeply

"We were living together within a month of working with each

other...girlfriends, wives and co-workers is what we were..we were never
friends"

"You were my best friend" Katie mumbled clearly hurt by Ally's words.

"I know" Ally sighed as she rubbed her forehead roughly..this really wasn't
going in her favour...

"I just think it would be better if we didn't talk" Ally finally blurted out as
Katie's face crumbled

"I've tried...trust me I have but I can't do it...we just fight and it's not fair on
us or people around us" Ally added her stomach knotting with her own
words.

"Al..."

"Don't" Ally shifted her heart was aching for Katie but she couldn't do
this..she couldn't pretend like they weren't divorced and that she was
completely over her marriage like Katie was.

"What" Katie snapped

"I can't call you by your fucking name now" Katie's voice began to rise as
Ally's eyes shifted towards the bedroom door, Katie's jaw clenched.

"This isn't easy for me" Ally said

"Do you think its fucking easy for me" Katie shot back her anger was
beyond Ally being able to get her ex wife to keep her voice down as the
surgeon stood up glaring at Ally.

"Well I don't know...isn't it" Ally asked shrugging her shoulders..Katie

shoving her tongue down Jane's throat seemed pretty easy to her.

"Is this because I'm with Jane" Katie huffed folding her arms taken a slight
step back

"Are you jealous" she added a slight smirk appeared on her face Ally knew
she was still angry.
"Jealous" Ally mocked.

Yes she was fucking jealous of that blown up Barbie doll Katie was with.

"You are aren't you...you are jealous that I'm with some else" Katie laughed
clearly pleased with herself as Ally teeth gritted as silence fell between.

Ally felt her heart ache..she could stand here and deny it all she wanted but
she wasn't going to gain anything from it..Katie had already moved on and
was now enjoying mocking how even after 3 years Ally couldn't have a
relationship more than a casual fling.

Katie's smug grin soon dropped as Ally remained quiet, Katie had never
seen Ally so vulnerable.

She was expecting a stubborn reply from the nurse that would put her in her
place but instead Ally sat there with jealously and pain written all over her.

Luke's loud sobs echoed through the flat as Ally shot to her feet. She slowly
brushed past a gob smacked Katie who quickly reached out and grasped
Ally's arm.

"See yourself out" Ally said quietly as she pushed her arm from Katie's grip
and headed straight for her room and picked up her crying nephew.

Ally felt sick to her stomach as she cradled Luke in her arms, she was
afraid to even leave the bedroom in fear of Katie being there.

Why couldn't she have just sucked it up and laughed off Katie's accusation
of Ally being jealous instead of letting Katie see how she wasn't over her,
how she hadn't moved on like Katie did.

How Katie was still the only woman she had ever fully committed to and
loved.

"Fuck" Ally muttered as she placed a sleepy Luke back in her bed, she was
going to have to come up with something to say to Katie next time she seen
her.
Of course she wasn't jealous she was only pulling Katie's leg to see her
reaction...Bollocks she was screwed....

Ally quietly closed the bedroom door as she looked around the empty sitting
room and breathed out a sigh of relief, Katie had gone and now it was time
for Ally to get herself a well deserved glass of wine.

Ally quietly made her way towards the kitchen and suddenly stopped in her
tracks at the kitchen door as Katie stood gripping a glass of wine.

"Here" Katie said softly as she handed Ally a spare glass that was half filled
with red wine as Ally stepped forward and accepted the glass and took a
large swig whilst Katie's eyes remained on her.

"Is he asleep" Katie asked as Ally nodded keeping her eyes firmly on the
glass between her hands.

As if this wasn't the most awkward thing ever stood here in front of her ex
wife after what happened a little over 20 minutes ago.

"So you and Tiff" Katie questioned as she took a sip of her wine waiting for
Ally to answer. Ally's eyes slowly looked up at her ex wife as she leaned
against the kitchen counter opposite her.

"What about me and Tiff" Ally replied casually taking another gulp of wine

"Are you fucking her" Katie asked bluntly as Ally choked back the red wine,
her body forward placing the glass on the counter. Ally's eyes darted to
Katie who stood smiling amusingly waiting patiently for an answer.

"You can't ask me that" Ally replied grabbing a tea towel as she wiped her
face.

"Why not..its a simple question...she's a bit old though don't you think"
Katie questioned as Ally glared at her

"I do recall you being my age when I was twenty four Katie...you can hardly
talk about age difference" Ally shot back
"That was different and she's double our age gap" Katie replied as Ally just
stared at her, was Katie bothered about the age difference or the fact Ally
may be sleeping with someone..

"So you are" Katie answered her own question as her voice remained
nervous, she took a large gulp from her drink.

Ally sighed as she shook her head she didn't know what had gotten into her
tonight but whatever Katie asked she answered..so much for trying to put
the tough act over being young, free and single...and quite frankly over her
ex wife..she failed miserably...

"You're not" Katie asked a little shocked as Ally glared at her

"Why are you jealous" it was Ally's turn now to question her ex wife as
Katie quickly laughed off Ally's comment as Ally frowned slightly. That
laugh was like a swift kick to Ally's vagina...

"Look it's getting late" Ally said suddenly feeling like a complete tosser.

Honestly she wasn't expecting Katie to be jealous but then again she wasn't
expecting her to laugh in her face either.

"Al..." Katie's smirk soon dropped as she placed her glass next to her but
Ally was already out of the kitchen and making her way towards the front
door.

"Thanks for the chat" Ally said dryly as she opened the front door and
suddenly felt a body pressed firmly against her as the door closed.

"Katie" Ally whispered almost afraid to turn around to face her ex wife as
her heart began to raced.

"Shhhhhhh" Katie whispered as her hands wrapped around Ally's slender

waist brushing her fingers over the body she craved for the past 3 years.

Ally's eyes clamped shut as she felt Katie's warm body pressed against
her..her heart race as her stomach flutter feeling Katie's hot breath against
her neck and finger tips tracing slightly under the hem of her tank top.
Ally let out a muffled moan..it was too much..the pent up frustration she just
wanted to twist her body around and attack Katie's lips..push Katie to the
couch and fuck the 3 years worth of need and lust out of Katie but for now
she just bit her lip as Katie took control.

"Katie" Ally groaned feeling her underwear becoming damp between her
legs.

"Shhhhh" Katie hissed as she slowly turned Ally around and pinning her to
the door as Ally's breathing became ragged.

Ally knew she looked terrified and truth was she was. She could see the
glint in Katie's darkened eyes as Katie's hand rest on Ally's hip as her free
hand slowly brushed against the outline of Ally's body and finally racking
through Ally's highlighted hair.

Their eyes connection as Katie expression remained expressionless. All Ally

wanted to do was kiss Katie, tell her how much she missed her and wanted
her but Katie needed to make the first move.

She was still being closed like a book and Ally wasn't prepared to put
herself on the line for Katie to toy with her emotions.

Katie frowned as her fingers ascended to Ally's face brushing over Ally's
lips as she traced every inch of Ally beautiful face, her eyes became glossy
as Ally frowned looking at Katie's saddened face.

"Babe what's wrong" Ally whispered her own arms wrapping around
Katie's body as she went to pull her ex wife's body close to her own but the
sudden lust in Katie's eyes was now replaced with sadness as she kept her
distance from Ally.

Before Ally knew it she had been shifted to the side as Katie had quickly
pulled the front door and vanished slamming it shut leaving Ally flustered
and confused.

**
"Happy birthday sweetheart...I have missed you so much" Ally dad's Jim
said placing a quick kiss on her cheek as she gave her dad a tight squeeze

"Thanks dad it's good to see you" she smiled as her dad squeezed her hand
and placed a kiss on his daughter's hand.

"Where's mum" Ally asked as her eyes diverted over to a loud burst of her
mother's severely annoying laugh matching a high pitched cackle.

"Oh great" Ally mumbled as Julia held a tight grip on Jane's arm laughing
about something as Katie smiled nervously at the pair.

"You ok love" her dad asked as Ally gave him a weak smile. Deep down
she had suddenly wanted to bail on her own party.

She knew how much Rach and Tiff had put into organising it but watching
her mother all over Katie as usual and now her perfect little girlfriend it
saddened Ally.

She couldn't understand why her relationship with her mother was so
strained. They had never seemed to have gotten on but ever since Ally's
divorce Julia had become even more distant to her eldest daughter.

They only spoke at Christmas wishing each other their best wishes but other
than that Julia never seeks to speak to her daughter.

"There she is...Alison" her mother snapped Ally out of her daze as Ally
watched Katie's body tense.

"Alison come here" Julia snapped through the crowd as Ally reluctantly
made her way over to the three women.

"Hi" Ally smiled weakly as Jane kept forward giving her a short hug

"Happy birthday Alison" Jane smiled and returned to Katie's side.

"Thanks" Ally mumbled as her and Katie glanced at each other awkwardly.
"Jane here was telling me all about her successful career" Julia spoke not
even wishing her daughter happy birthday or a welcome home for that
matter.

Ally smiled a widely as she could but right now she wished she was at the
bar...standing on a bed a nails..anywhere but here...

"You two seem so happy...don't they Alison" Julia smiled at Jane who took
grip of Katie's arm as Jane grinned and nodded.

"Yeh" Ally croaked out as Katie gazed at her. Ally could sense the guilt
behind the two blue crystals.

"I'm glad you're settled here now Katie, you seemed to really have found a
solid foundation with your career and life with Jane" Julia continued as
Katie just smiled weakly.

Nice one Juls, Ally's jaw clenched. Trust her mother to make her feel
special on her own birthday.

Her mother always had a go at her for not settling in the one place and this
was Julia's opportunity to bring her daughter down at any opportunity she
got.

"Maybe you'll be next Alison" Julia added dryly

"Maybe" Ally smiled...fuck this..she needed to get out of here. This was the
last place she was going to argue with her mother especially not in front of
Miss perfect in front of her who clung protectively off Katie.

"Excuse me I've got to nip to the loo" Ally mumbled trying her hardest to
keep it together.

She was not one to feel sorry for herself but she knew she didn't deserve
this shit especially at her own birthday party.

Jane mumbled a goodbye as Julia didn't acknowledge her daughters absence

as Ally backed away not daring to look at Katie before quickly making her
way towards the toilet as she held back her tears.
Once instead the empty toilet she allowed her tears to stream her face...it
was too painful being here, being around her mother, Katie, Jane.

She couldn't even enjoy her bloody birthday without something eating her
up inside. Wiping her tears away from her eyes and she tried to maintain her
smoky eyes as she stared in the mirror.

Katie quickly burst through the door as her eyes locked with Ally's. Ally
ignored her ex wife as she sniffed back her tears and turned back to face the
Surgeon heading towards the door, she wasn't in the mood for any more
rejection tonight.

"Excuse me" Ally mumbled trying to pass Katie but the surgeon stood solid
by the door forcing Ally's eyes to meet hers.

"Please" Ally's voice broke she just wanted to leave..get away from this
place, she felt like she was suffocating. Katie just stared at her ex wife..her
eyes bored into Ally's as her hand came to meet Ally's cheek..

"Don't" Ally brushed her body away she couldn't deal with Katie walking
out on her again so she was the one who was going to be doing the walking
this time.

Stepping around Katie, Ally's hand gripped the door handle as she pulled it
firmly. Before she could move she felt a sharp tug of her body being pulled
backwards as Katie's lips crashed against her own....
 Chapter 23

"Lets go" Ally chirped as she clapped her hands continuously throwing her
small suitcase on the couch. Rach appeared from her room texting on her
phone as Ally rolled her eyes.

"Babe you seriously need to detach yourself from Shel for at least an hour"
Ally teased.

"You are worse than me when I was married" she added as Rach laughed
clicking send and sliding her phone into her jeans.

"I doubt that Harris" Rach replied as she grabbed her overnight bag hanging
it over her shoulder.

"This is going to be amazing..I can't wait" Ally said excitedly as she held
her plane ticket and passport in her hand.

It was the day of Rach and Shel's hen party, Rach, Ally and a few of Rach's
other friends were flying to Manchester early for some one on one time
whilst they met with Shel and her mates later that evening before heading
for a meal and then onto a club.

Ally really was excited for her trip to Manchester. She had spent many
weekends with an ex girlfriend in Manchester when she was in college and
couldn't wait to get back to the night life.

Ally put her passport and plane ticket in her handbag as a Rach strolled
over to the door answering the knock.
"Are we going to get shit faced or what" Tiff burst through the door as Ally
looked at her confused.

"Come on bitches let's go we've got a plane to catch" Tiff squealed as the
three girls laughed their way out of the flat...

**

Ally's back collided with the cubicle door as Katie quickly shifted the lock
tightly as Ally moaned feeling Katie's tongue roughly against her own.

"Fuck Al" Katie hissed as her hands glided under Ally's top brushing her
fingers against the toned skin. There was no denying it anymore she wanted
Ally since she seen her in the airport.

"I was jealous" Katie whispered as her lips pressed against Ally's pulsating
neck causing her to moan as Ally's hands slipped under Katie's dress
pulling the surgeon further into her.

"Every time Tiff spoke to you..I was full of rage..the way she looked at
you...the way she made you laugh..the way.." Katie hissed as Ally's fingers
slipped from beneath Katie's dress and pressed against Katie's lips.

Asmuch as she was enjoying hearing how jealous Katie was..she needed
her...needed to feel her inside of her...

"I need you" Ally whispered breathlessly as Katie groaned and crashed
their lips together, Katie's hands unbuttoned Ally's jeans as slid down them
her ex wife's thighs.

Brushing her fingers lightly over Ally's soaked thong Katie groaned pushing
her body against Ally's.

"I've missed you so much" Katie mumbled as she bit down on Ally's lip as
her fingers pressed against her clit through her underwear. Ally moaned as
her fingers were tangled in Katie dark flarey hair.

"Jesus" Ally moaned as Katie's fingers pushed firmly inside her, Katie
groaned at how wet Ally was for her.
Steadying a pace as she pressed hard against Ally..Katie's eyes remained
firmly on her ex wifes as she watched the effects of her touches. Ally's head
pressed firmly against the cubicle door as her body clenched to Katie's
touch.

Katie's free hand encouraged the brunette to remove her top, Ally shift her
top off quickly dropping it to the ground as Katie's hand pressed firmly over
Ally's bra as she pushed the material exposing Ally's erect nipple.

Leaning forward she captured Ally's nipple in her mouth as Ally moaned
loudly, she needed to taste Katie's sweet lips on her own.

"You are so sexy" Katie hissed as she quickened her pace as Ally bit down
on her lip trying to suppress her moans.

The bathroom door opened as Katie's movement suddenly froze as she

glared at a breathless Ally.

"Don't you dare fucking stop" Ally growled her voice low as she brought
Katie's lips to own encouraging Katie to resume her actions. Hearing a
couple of noises Ally knew it was one of the staff just making sure the toilet
was tidy.

She groaned inwardly as she felt her muscles starting to clench as Katie's
mouth left her own and began sucking hard against her neck.

The bathroom was filled once again with Ally's moans as soon as the
bathroom door shut again indicating they were alone.

"I'm gonna come" Ally moaned as her hand gripped Katie's neck grinding
her body fast and hard against Katie's touch.

"Katie" Ally moaned as her body shuddered as Katie's tongue found her
own silencing her moans as she came down from her high.

Katie held Ally in place as they both regained their breaths. Katie placed
sweet kisses against Ally's neck and chest as Ally hummed quietly biting her
lip.
Ally couldn't believe it..Katie was actually kissing her, touching her. God
she missed Katie so much, she didn't care that they were in the cubicle of
Ruby's bathroom.

"As much as I want to stay like this...we should get back" Katie whispered
placing a lingering kiss on Ally's lips.

"Give me your phone" Katie asked as she handed Ally her top off the floor
whilst Ally slipped her jeans back around her slender waist.

Ally handed her phone over confused as she watched Katie dial a number
and extract her own phone cancelling the call and saving Ally's number.

"Here" Katie smiled handing Ally back her phone as their hands met Ally
pulled at her phone as Katie's kept a grip whilst smirking flirtatiously at
Ally.

"Come here" Katie whispered as she closed in on Ally once again letting
Ally take her phone, Katie's hands found Ally neck as their lips crashed
together once again.

Ally moaned once again she couldn't help it, her heart raced as she felt
Katie's eager tongue dominating her own. Katie's body pressed against her
own, she just wanted to take Katie back to her old flat and fuck her.

"God" Ally groaned clenching between her legs she knew they had to stop
before she lost all self control.

"Happy birthday Al" Katie whispered against Ally's lips placing a sweet
short kiss and unlocking the cubicle door, leaving an extremely flustered
Ally alone in the cubicle.

"Fucking hell" Ally mumbled as soon as she heard the bathroom door shut.
She smirked to herself as her fingers traced over her swollen lips...best
birthday present ever.

Ally smiled shyly as the group of Rach's hen party sat at the departure gates
of Stansted Airport waiting for their flight to board...a group that included a
certain ex wife that was practically eye fucking her from her seat opposite
Ally.

Ally had squealed inwardly yesterday when Rach had told her the exact
names that were flying down on their flight..if it was 4 days ago Ally knew
she would have dreaded spending time with Katie but now here Katie was
sat with no Jane and looking so fuckable in her fitted T-shirt with skinny
jeans and knee high boots.

She knew it was these few hours a head she had to cherish until Jane joined
the group with Shel and the rest of them that night. Ally tried not to even
think about Jane the last few days since she had been with Katie in the
toilet.

She left the bathroom 5 minutes after Katie had, her body still trying to
recover from her orgasm she had managed to enjoy the rest of the night.
Her eyes connecting with Katie's every now and then across the bar she felt
like a little school child crushing on her teacher and now here she was
trying to join in on the loud chuckles and banter but all she kept thing about
was Katie.

Her delicate hands, her tongue, what she could be doing with her tongue..oh
god...Ally shot up from her seat as her face flushed as Katie smirked
looking away from Ally.

"You alright there babe" Rach asked as Ally nodded

"I'm just going to get a coffee" Ally cleared her throats

"Ok" Rach smiled and turned back to chat with the girls as Ally quickly
walked towards the coffee shop three gates down. She shook her thoughts
away as she scanned the magazine aisle in the shop as she clutched onto her
coffee.

"Hi" Katie's hot breath tickled Ally's skin immediately giving her goose
bumps.
"Hey" Ally smiled clearly her husky voice

"Enjoy you little sex daze about me" Katie asked casually as she picked up
a random health magazine ensuring her thigh brushed against Ally's.

"How did you know..."

"Al we were married...I know every facial expression you have and I know
when you are thinking about..." Katie's voice became lower with each word
she spoke snapping her face back up near Ally's "....me fucking you" she
added as Ally's eyes widened with a gasp

"Katie" Ally snapped looking around the aisle but the elderly lady further
down was still engrossed in a gardening magazine.

"What" Katie laughed.

"It's so true you can't deny it Harris" she smirked.

"You never said you were coming with us on the early flight" Ally stated as
her eyes on Katie who was scanning through the shelves of magazines.

"Well we weren't doing much talking the other night" Katie replied as Ally
rolled her eyes.

"You know what I mean" Ally replied as Katie brought her attention back to
Ally.

Their eyes connected as Katie's fingers brushed Ally's loose strands of

highlighted hair away from her face

"Would you have preferred if I told you before or after I made you come"
Katie asked as Ally melted with her words remembering the night of her
birthday.

"Katie" Ally groaned as her fore head rested lightly on a smirking Katie's
shoulder
"Yes baby" Katie whispered as she kissed Ally's head and wrapped her arm
around Ally's waist pulling her close.

"What are we going to do" Ally sighed her own arm resting on Katie's hip.
Katie shifted her body for Ally to look up at her as her fingers played with
the strands of Ally's layered hair.

"Well we are going to get on that plane to Manchester..check into that

lovely hotel and then I'm going to knock on your hotel room..." Katie said
confidently taking Ally's hot cup from her hand as Ally smiled flirtatiously

"Yeah" Ally asked

"Yeah and then you are going to let me in and..." Katie lowered her voice as
she glanced around the quiet shop as she leaned forward letting her hot
breath tickle Ally's ear

"then I'm going to make you come with my tongue" Katie whispered
seductively as her tongue brushed lightly over Ally's skin causing Ally to
moan.

Katie placed a quick kiss on Ally's forehead as she smacked Ally's arse and
backed her way up the aisle towards the exit.

"You are such a fucking tease" Ally groaned smacking her hand over her
forehead as Katie took a sip of Ally's coffee and giggled her way out of the
shop. This was going to be one hell of a hen party..
 Chapter 24

"Oh my god....fuck" Katie whimpered as her body arched feeling her

orgasm ripple through her body. She moaned as Ally's tongue brushed
lightly over her clit causing her to shudder further as her hands became lost
in Ally's messy hair.

Ally placed lingering kisses on Katie's spread thighs as she listened to the
surgeon hum as she came down from her high.

"Fuck Al" Katie groaned beckoning Ally to come from under the sheets as
Ally's lips kissed her way back up Katie's slender body.

"That was amazing" Katie gasped as her hands brought Ally's eager lips to
her own. Katie moaned as she tasted herself off of Ally's tongue as Ally's
naked body pressed against hers.

It was 3 o' clock in the afternoon in Manchester. Ally and Katie had been in
bed for the past hour and a half.

Luckily Rach had decided she wanted to go to the spa as soon as they
arrived at the hotel, with some lesbians agreeing.

Others including Ally and Katie had disagreed saying they were just going
to chill in their hotel rooms or look around the shops which meant they had
all agreed to meet at four o'clock down at reception for the beginning of a
messy weekend.

Ally sat in her room all of 5 minutes painting her nails as an eager knock to
her door. As she opened the door, low and behold Katie pushed Ally back
against the wall their lips immediately crashed against one anthers.
Stripped within a minute, Ally was flat against the mattress as Katie's
mouth roamed her body...

Katie sighed in contently as Ally placed a sweet kiss against Katie's collar
bone as their bodies tangled together.

"I wish we could stay like this" Ally hummed as her fingers traced circles
over Katie's hip bone.

"I know" Katie agreed placing a kiss against Ally's hair.

"I've missed you so much Al..just being with you" Katie said as Ally smiled
her eyes looking into Katie's as her head remained resting on Katie's
shoulder.

"It's like I have been lying dormant the past few years and now all of a
sudden I feel alive again..I feel complete...does that make sense" Katie
rambled as her fingers trailed up and down Ally's arm.

"I know" Ally sighed.

"I wish I stayed in contact with you more.."Ally added as Katie's eyes
locked with hers

"I feel like such a shit for just forgetting about my life here but I thought if I
moved away started fresh..you could move on and so could I...but..."

"Hey its ok" Katie ushered as her lips brushed against Ally's fore head "the
thing with Jane.."

"Lets not" Ally interrupted.

"As much as I don't really like the girl..this isn't right" Ally sighed as
fingers now traced over Katie's protruding collar bone.

"I know" Katie mumbled taking a deep breath as Ally reached under the
covers for her underwear quickly putting them on.
"I'm gonna take a shower" Ally mumbled as she walked straight into the
bathroom, shutting the door she breathed out.

She felt guilt wash over her, she knew how her drunken mistake with Lynne
had torn Katie apart. It had torn her own life apart and here she was
sleeping with her ex wife behind Katie's girlfriend's back.

Katie had moved on, met someone and suddenly Ally felt like a home
wrecker again. Letting the hot water trickle down her naked skin she let her
tears fall.

How could something so precious she shared with Katie this afternoon
make her feel so cheap and wrong. Her emotions were torn and she didn't
know what she was going to do.

Ally heard the bathroom door click and shuffling behind her as her eyes
remained closed the hot water slightly burning her skin.

"Babe" Katie whispered as her naked body pressed behind Ally's, she
placed a kiss on Ally's shoulder as her arms wrapped securely around her ex
wife as Ally remained quiet.

"I know this isn't easy...on either of us but don't close up" Katie added her
voice stern yet filled with vulnerability as she turned Ally's body around to
face her.

"Katie we are doing exactly what I done that broke up our marriage" Ally
sighed brushing her hands lightly over Katie's wet shoulders. Katie stared
Ally in the eyes as her finger brushed away the spraying water over Ally's
face.

"Please" Katie begged with her eyes as Ally's eyes furrowed. She could
sense the need and confusion in the surgeons voice as Katie's eyes pleaded
with her.

"I just need some time Al..let me get my head around this..you..us" Katie
stuttered as Ally's heart fluttered with the sound of Katie actually saying us.
her and Katie..together..us as in a couple..
"Just not today of all days, please babe" Katie asked her body stepping
closing to Ally's as her eyes burned into Ally's.

Ally's eyes softened she knew this of all weekends was not the time or place
for her and Katie to be discussing what exactly was going on between them.

Truth was Ally was equally as confused as Katie. What did this mean for
them, was it just fun between them while Ally was back. What was going to
happen after the wedding, were they going to go back to a phone call at
christmas time or the odd email in work.

Ally knew exactly how Katie felt behind those eyes..they were scared,
scared of what was happening between them, scared of what would happen
if anyone found out and scare of what it actually meant for them.

"We will talk about it when we get back" Ally sighed as she leaned forward
capturing Katie's lips softly in her own.

She wished she could say to Katie that this was the last time they touched or
kissed until they figure stuff out but truth was once she had Katie after all
these years of need there was no way she could keep away now.

She needed as much of Katie as she could, maybe she was a heartless bitch
for Jane but she couldn't risk losing Katie again.

Katie's tongue brushed passed her lips causing Ally to moan as her hands
roamed over Katie's hot wet skin as the surgeon pushed her back against the
wall.

"Thank you" Katie mumbled between kisses as Ally moaned feeling Katie's
hand descend her body as the hot water trickled down her skin....

**

Ally's heels clicked against the marble floor of the lift in the hotel.
Checking herself in the mirrored wall as the lift descended six floors she
knew she picked the right outfit as her fingers brushed over her short blue
dress.
A dress she knew that from past experience had gotten her a lot of
unwanted female attention but tonight she wanted it..she was newly thirty
and newly back fucking her ex wife..she wanted to show Katie exactly what
Ally still had to offer..

She couldn't deny it of course Katie still had her heart but tonight she was
going to have fun, after spending another hour fucking Katie in the shower
they had managed to make it down to the reception unnoticed shortly after
four as others arrived.

Ignoring Jane when she came for their early dinner and cocktail reception
Ally was actually able to relax in the group as they sat around each other,
her sexual appetite had been satisfied in so many ways with Katie today so
tonight Ally had decided she wasn't about to sit around the club and mope
as Jane clung off Katie making Ally's blood boil.

Nope it was Ally's turn to have fun and do the teasing, which is exactly why
she wore a shouldered blue dress that complimented her figure in all the
right places and showed off her golden brown thighs.

"Shit beautiful...you look...well fucking beautiful" Tiff gasped whose eyes

widened as Ally made her way to the chairs at reception. The girls of the
hen party agreed as they looked Ally up and down giving her the fuck yeh
nod.

Here was Ally's unwanted attention in this dress, the only eyes she wanted
on her were those bright blue eyes that burned through her earlier that day
and she screamed out her orgasm. Having settled down next to a seat next
to Rach, Ally glanced around the group..neither Katie or Jane were here.

"Right that's the lot of us..lets get going" Shel announced as everyone
shuffled out of their seats.

"Are you sure I shouldn't be organising all this" Ally's eyes furrowed as
Rach placed a hen party sash around her friend.

"No relax babe..You know how organised Shel is...she wanted to this
herself..even Jane wasn't allowed to help" Rach replied as she picked
brushed her fingers over her shirt. Now was Ally's chance to ask her friend
where Katie and Jane were without looking like an inquisitive bitch...

"Where is Jane anyway" Ally asked casually as they walked slowly behind
the loud hen party who were already bursting out through the hotel door.

"They've gone for dinner somewhere....it's their 2 year anniversary" Rach

replied as Ally stopped in her tracks...

"2 years" she gasped as Rach mumbled in agreement not noticing her friend
was not next to her.

"Today" Ally added as Rach twirled around in confusion as she stepped

back towards her friend.

"Yes Ally today...whats up with you" Rach asked slightly concerned as

Ally's face drained of colour.

She knew Jane and Katie had been together a while but 2 years, that was
like the length she and Katie had been married.

You don't stay with someone for 2 years unless they mean something to
you. Ally felt sick for what she had done, fucked Katie on Katie's
anniversary with Jane.

How could Katie not tell her, be so heartless to Jane and just think that her
and Ally could have this fling all the while it was her and Jane's
anniversary.

"Babe" Rach questioned as Ally quickly shook away her thoughts clearing
her throat she placed a wide smile on her face.

"Sorry babe ignore me" Ally replied casually as she hooked her arm around
Rach's elbow as they began to walk again.

"You ok Ally..I know its not easy" Rach asked as Ally tried to push her
anger and thoughts to the back of her mind..this was a hen party..Rach's hen
party and she was going to enjoy it like any other single woman would...
"I'm perfect..lets go" Ally smiled to her friend as they quickened their pace
towards the group of cackling girls...
 Chapter 25

"How was dinner" Ally asked dryly as she stood next to a startled Katie.
Katie glanced around the bar and back to her ex wife.

"Babe" Katie sighed as Ally jaw clenched

"No Katie, you don't get to fucking babe me" Ally snapped trying her
hardest to keep her cool.

"2 years today..really.." Ally snapped.

"You didn't think to tell me this afternoon" she added blushing slightly as
she remember how Katie's touches and kisses made her feel.

Suddenly she could feel her temper flaring. Her eyes locked at the party
everyone was sat around enjoying the hen party.

"Al I was going to tell you..." Katie mumbled reaching out to her ex wife
who took a sudden step back.

"Don't" Ally warned.

"Let me just explain everything please" Katie choked as she pleaded with
Ally.

"Do you remember how you would tell me you hated me and that you never
wanted to see me again, how I ruined your life for cheating on you" Ally
said trying her hardest to keep it together.

"I know I'm a slut for ruining our marriage...I'll hold my hands up to what I
done" Ally continued as Katie's eyes furrowed.
"but you're pathetic..a hypocrite" Ally added in disgust.

"Ally stop...can we just go somewhere and talk about this" Katie mumbled
knowing full well Ally had every right to be angry with her but she needed
to talk to Ally, try explain how she was feeling.

"I bet you are really smug with yourself..bedding your ex wife while you
waited for your perfect little blow up doll to arrive" Ally snapped as Katie
looked nervously around the club.

"She's welcome to you" Ally added more calmly this time as she stood there
looking defeated.

She was sick of the mind games..the hot and cold relationship she had with
Katie.

"Ally you don't mean that" Katie replied her hand gripping Ally's elbow
daring Ally to look her in the eyes and repeat her words.

"Let go, you wouldn't want anyone finding out your dirty little secret" Ally
snapped shrugging out of Katie's grip.

Ally sighed as she looked around the bar..she knew Katie wasn't all to
blame for this..she jumped into bed just as fast as Katie did...this was it
whatever had happened definitely was over and done with. Ally's heart was
already breaking all over again.

"I won't say anything to anyone about this" Ally said as she pointed
between them with such regret in her voice causing Katie to frown.

"But in return you don't talk to me, don't even so much as look at me Katie"
Ally warned trying her hardest to keep her emotions together.

"Ally I want you" Katie mumbled

"Don't" Ally warned "Don't you fucking dare say shit like that to me again"

"I meant what I said Katie, this is it" Ally said as she glared at Katie who
was far from giving up on this. Katie was startled as she felt a hand snaked
across her back.

"Ladies" Jane said sarcastically as she draped her body off Katie like a
prostitute in a brothel as Ally rolled her eyes.

Katie eyes remained on Ally who was blatantly ignoring her, her heart
ached. She he wanted Ally..needed her but she knew knowing Ally and her
stubborn ways she wasn't going to get a chance.

A chance to tell Ally how much she ached for her..how much despite being
in a relationship with Jane for 2 years. The past 3 days was the most alive
she ever felt since before Ally left for Oz 3 years ago.

"Excuse me for a moment" Katie mumbled as she made her way to the
bathroom feeling her salty tears prick her eyes, she'd realised how much she
had actually fucked up.

"Is she ok" Jane asked glaring at Ally suspiciously as Ally shrugged her
shoulders and glanced around the club in search for Tiff., she needed Tiff to
get her drunk, let her forget about Katie

"She's your girlfriend you should know" Ally replied casually as Jane's eyes
narrowed

"I'm glad you have acknowledged that" Jane replied dryly as she stepped
closer to Ally.

"She's mine now so keeping your slutty hands to yourself" Jane warned as
Ally's teeth gritted.

Ally wasn't sure if she was angrier that Jane was calling her a slut or the
fact she was calling Katie hers.

"Wow" Ally let out a light chuckle as Jane's fists clenched.

"I mean it Alison..our life was perfect before you came back, we are perfect
for one another..I can provide a luxurious life for her just as much as she
provides me with one..so stay away from her" Jane warned as Ally nodded
slowly.
It would only take one swing of her right hand to knock this bitch down a
few steps but she knew deep down Jane wasn't worth it.

She wasn't worth a night in a jail either...after tonight as much as it killed

Ally to think it. maybe Katie and Jane deserved each other, maybe Jane had
transformed Katie into some snob that she now didn't recognise as her wife
because Ally knew Katie would never have cheated before, never lied her
way into Ally's bed. The Katie she knew was loving and caring.

"You are right you guys are perfect for one another...She is all yours" Ally
replied as she looked over towards the bathroom door where Katie emerged
wiping away her tears.

Her eyes pleaded with Ally to talk to her, give her a chance to talk about
things...

"Excuse me" Ally mumbled as a confused looking Jane watched her walk
away.

**

"Dance with me" Ally slurred as she pulled Tiff onto the dance floor. The
hen party was in full swing and Ally was well and truly pissed, pissed at
Katie, pissed at herself for sleeping with Katie and pissed from all the shots
and vodka she had consumed.

It was 2 hours ago in the club down the road where Ally told Katie she was
done with their little affair. She had managed to stay clear of both Katie and
Jane and Ally was proud she had kept her eyes off Katie.

She knew Katie was watching, feeling those sexy blues eyes on she felt
weak at the knees she was tempted to let her own eyes connect with Katie's
but she was so angry, so angry how Katie could just fuck her in a hotel
room all the while she was playing happy families with Jane that night.

She was angry at giving in to Katie..she needed to move on, she knew she
didn't deserve Katie after what she did with Lynne but she knew she didn't
deserve to be Katie's little sordid affair either.
She wasn't about to break up another relationship. Ally placed Tiff's hands
on her thighs as Tiff's eyes widened how forward Ally was being.

"How much have you had to drink beautiful" Tiff asked as she watched Ally
body sway to the music.

"Only a little bit..come on Tiff" Ally mumbled pressed her body into the
older woman as she pushed Tiff's fingers further up her thighs.

"Let's go back to your hotel room" Ally whispered placing her hot lips
lightly over Tiffs tattooed shoulder as Tiff groaned looking around the
dance floor.

"Are you high" Tiff joked nervously..she was used to talking her way into
girls beds but not the other way around especially Ally who she had
fantasized bedding since she first laid her eyes on her.

Ally giggled as her body remained close to Tiffs she swayed her hips
allowing her crotch grind against Tiff'ss tight jeans causing Tiff to melt
under her touch.

"No Tiffany..I'm not high" Ally smiled lazily as their eyes connected

"I am drunk and exceptionally horny" she added

"If you don't want to fuck me there's a blonde by the bar who's been eyeing
me up since we got here...I'm sure she would like to" Ally smirked giving
the blonde a wink at the bar.

Before Ally knew it she felt Tiff's tongue against her own as Tiff gripped
her tightly between arms.

"Let's get the fuck out of here" Tiff grumbled as her hand found Ally's and
pulled her off the dance floor.

The crisp cool air outside hit Ally as Tiff's grip remained tightly around
Ally's hand pulling her eagerly down Canal Street as they headed for the
taxi rank.
Ally knew she was drunk and most likely going to regret sleeping with Tiff
in the morning but she needed a distraction, needed someone else's kisses
and attention to make her forget about how good Katie had made her feel.

"Ally wait" Katie shouted as Ally's heart began to race she could feel Tiff's
hand tense in her own

"Keep going" Ally muttered as Tiff continued at her quicken pace not
daring to look around at Ally or Katie for that matter.

"Ally" Katie snapped again as Ally could sense her ex wife's voice closer
and more impatient this time.

Ally gave Tiff's hand a light squeeze encouraging the older woman to direct
her to the taxi rank.

"Fuck sake...Ally" Katie shouted finally catching up with her ex wife she
gripped Ally's elbow yanking the nurses body around to meet hers as Ally
had no choice but to let go of Tiff's hand.

"Katie" Ally snapped shifting her body from Katie's tight grip "Let go" she
gritted through her teeth as Katie glared at her.

"Where are you going" Katie questioned possessively as she glanced

between Tiff and Ally.

Her heart sank as she watched Ally flirt with Tiff back on the dance floor
only moments ago..rage filled her veins as she watched Tiff's tongue dart
into Ally's mouth.

"Ugh go back inside Katie" Ally sighed as she rolled her eyes knowing full
well it annoyed the shit of Katie when she done it.

"Tiff do you mind giving us a minute" Katie cleared her throat trying her
hardest to keep her jealously under control.

"Tiff stay" Ally blurted out as Tiff stood awkwardly next to Ally.

"Ally" Katie snapped.

"Katie" Ally shot back as they glared at one another.

"I'll get us a taxi" Tiff said quietly as she leaned into Ally. Katie's heart sank
at the way Tiff was staring at Ally like she was a piece of meat.

She felt sick with the thought of Tiff taking Ally back to her room and
having sex with her.

Katie knew she wasn't in the position to stop them but it didn't mean it
didn't hurt..make her body ache inside with regret and guilt how she was
losing Ally right in front of her all over again.

"Katie piss off back inside" Ally grumbled as she watched Tiff walk
towards the taxi rank nearby

"Don't do this" Katie pleaded.

"I know I've messed up big time but please don't sleep with her I know it's
not what you want"

"Oh and so being your dirty bit on the side is what I've always dreamed of"
Ally replied in a sarcastic tone as she turned to walk away but Katie's firm
grip turned her back to face her.

"You know that's not true..we can talk things out..I want to be with you Al"
Katie mumbled as she reached down and entwined their fingers.

Ally stared at their connected fingers..they fitted perfectly..Katie's soft

delicate hands despite working long hours of healing people they were long
and slender.

Their eyes connected briefly as Katie's filled with sadness and regret...years
of pain and suffering she needed Ally to give her a chance.

They needed to talk about things, a loud horn startled Ally who quickly
broke their contact as she turned around to see Tiff head appearing out of a
taxi.
"I've got to go" Ally mumbled as she turned around but once again Katie's
hand gripped her elbow.

"Ally don't do this..she doesn't want you for you" Katie said as Ally
whipped her head around to face her

"Oh god forbid anyone would actually want me for me and not my body"
Ally shot back knowing she was being too sensitive but she couldn't fall
into Katie's web, she needed to get over this.

"You know that's not true but Tiff...she's just using you" Katie replied trying
to be cautious with her words.

So far she was failing miserably and attempting to keep Ally from getting
into that taxi. Ally laughed sarcastically as she shrugged out of Katie's grip
forcefully this time.

"Go back inside to your girlfriend" Ally snapped as she began backing away
towards the taxi.

"Ally please" Katie replied taking a couple of steps forward but it was no
use she knew well she was losing Ally all over again..

"Enjoy the rest of your night Ms. Thomas...I know I will" Ally said
spitefully as turned in her heels and headed straight for open door of the
taxi...

Thanks for reading :) xx

 Chapter 26

Tiff yawned as she scratched her messy hair away from her face walking
towards her hotel room door.

"Katie..eh" Tiff's eyes widened as she stood awkwardly in her oversized

yankee tshirt

"Is Ally here" Katie mumbled forcing herself to look at Tiff as her jaw
clenched tightly.

"Is that brekkie I'm starving" Ally shouted from the bed as Katie gulped.
Well that certainly answered her question and kicked her in the chest.

"Can you get her for me please" Katie asked quietly as her eyes focused
away from the room she looked firmly down the hotel corridor, the ceiling,
floor, anywhere except at the room knowing full well what happened last
night in Tiff's room it made her stomach churn.

Tiff turned nervously as she stepped into her room and walked towards her
bed as she noticed Ally lying comfortably watching the television.

"Katie's at the door" Tiff smiled nervously as Ally's eyes widened she
quickly lifted she sheet over her bra.

"I don't want to talk to her" Ally mumbled quietly "tell her to go away" she
mumbled.

"Nooooo" Tiff snapped quietly as she glanced at Katie who was now arms
folded standing at her door.

"Fuck Tiff I can't talk to her right now" Ally snapped quietly glancing down
her sheet covered body she felt embarrassed as Tiff rolled her eyes.
Clearing her throat Tiff made her way back to her door as Katie now forced
herself to look at the older woman.

"Now is not the best time Katie..maybe later you could knock to her room"
Tiff replied.

"I need to speak to her now..shut that door and tell her I'll wait right here
until she comes out" Katie snapped as she took hold of the handle as Tiff
stepped back watching Katie shut the door in her own face.

"Ally get dressed...."

**

Ally squealed as her body collided with the soft sheets beneath her as she
soon found Tiff's eager lips on her own.

The older woman straddled her allowing her hands to slide under Ally's
short dress.

"God you feel so fuckable" Tiff grumbled as she sat back slightly allowing
her arms to forcefully push Ally's tight dress upwards as Ally pulled the
material swiftly over her head.

She watched as Tiff's eyes darkened roaming up her body, normally Ally
would feel excited and aroused by this. Someone looking at her like she
was the most beautiful woman in the world but all Ally could think about
was Katie.

How Ally felt like she had been punched in the stomach as she walked away
from Katie outside the club only a short time ago, how she could see how
much Katie was hurting while she begged Ally to give her a chance to talk
but Ally shook all thoughts out of her head.

This was it, she needed to move on from her past..as much as it killed her
she needed to face the facts that she didn't belong in Katie's life anymore.

Ally sighed as her head rested back against the pillow as Tiff's soft lips
kissed down her stomach, as she felt Tiff's tongue slid around her belly
button stud. She knew if this was Katie she would have practically cum
right now..she didn't feel anything..she needed to block out her thoughts,
forget about Katie.

"Take off your top" Ally ordered leaning up on her elbows as she watched
Tiff nod like a little puppy and quickly discard the tank top on the floor next
to them.

Ally bit down on her lip..she couldn't deny Tiff was hot for her age, her
body held well and even though Ally never was much of a fan of tattoo's Tiff
was hot.

Ally's fingers reach up to trace over the latin scripture under her right
breast. Ally could feel the lust in Tiff's on her and Tiff's eyes bored into her,
reacting to every finger tip that brushed over her skin.

Tiff let out a ragged breath as she tried to keep her cool..a woman who
could bed any girl she wanted to was now putty in Ally's hands.

Ally gulped as she reached behind her own bra unclasping the hooks..her
mind was on overdrive, sure she was attracted to Tiff of course she
was..who wouldn't be but was this really a good idea...fucking another
girl..no wait..Jane's ex while Jane was mostly likely fucking her ex..her
Katie..

"Bloody hell" Tiff mouthed as she assisted Ally removing the loose material.
Without so much as wasting another second Tiff was back on top of Ally as
her lips nipped and kissed her exposed chest.

Tiff began sucking the skin roughly causing Ally to moan, that's it Al she
cheered herself on as she let her hand become lost in Tiff's long dark hair.

Let her fuck you she reminded herself as she felt pressure on her left breast
knowing full well Tiff had left a mark.

Ally groaned as she felt Tiff's lips firmly around her nipple..why couldn't get
let go..enjoy this like she did in the room only 2 floors below where she was
now.
Ally enjoyed sex of course she did but for the first time in her life she
couldn't stop her brain from going on overdrive, why was she feeling guilty
as Tiff's lips released her nipple and descended her body.

She couldn't get Katie out of her head, why the fuck couldn't she get her out
of her head. She sighed as her eyes flickered opened she watched as Tiff's
fingers lightly brushed over Ally's underwear.

This was her opportunity to get the fuck of her life from an older hot
experienced woman yet she couldn't let go, let her body enjoy being kissed
and touched, let her clit throb to be touched.

There was only one person that could do that for her nowadays, make her
cum so hard that her body ached as she felt her orgasm ripple through her
body.

There was only one Katie Thomas and Ally hated how she could let herself
be still in love with her ex wife.

"Fuck sake" Ally grumbled as she racked her fingers roughly through her
hair..she hated herself for feeling this way, she hated Katie for making her
feel this way.

"Tiff stop" Ally breathed out as she shifted her body slightly but Tiff's lips
remained firmly on her hip bone.

"Tiff" Ally mumbled again she watched Tiff's wandering hands slowly slip
under her underwear.

"Tiff stop" she snapped as Tiff shook from her daze and shifted back up
Ally's face as she glared at Ally with worry

"What's up babe" Tiff asked slightly flustered

"I just..." Ally muttered trying to figure out herself what was going on in her
head

"I can't right now" she finally admitted as Tiff nodded slowly getting up
from Ally she grabbed her top and placed it over her head.
"You want to talk about it" Tiff asked as she sat on the side of her hotel
room bed next to Ally her cursed herself under breath.

"No" Ally muttered as they fell into silence..they stayed silent for a few
moments as Tiff stared into space on the ground forcing herself to look
away from Ally naked body as

Ally manoeuvred herself into a comforting ball she made no effort to get
dressed again as she struggled with her thoughts and embarrassment.

"Ally can I ask you something" Tiff finally broke their silences as Ally
smiled and nodded.

"How long have you been fucking Katie" Tiff spoke as Ally's eyes
widened..Tiff smirked knowing full well she hit the jack pot...

**

Ally shut the door tightly as Katie's body flinched to the sound standing up
straight in the corridor.

Ally was wearing the same dress from last night as she gripped her handbag
stalking straight for Katie. Before Katie could even open her mouth to
speak but Ally was already in front of her

"What do you want...I told you last night to stay away from me" Ally
snapped harshly annoyed Katie even more after what happened or should
she say didn't happen between her and Tiff.

This is Katie's fault for being so perfect and loveable she loved and hated
Katie all at the same time it was driving her insane.

"No you didn't" Katie shot back.

"You had a rant at me but you never said to stay away" Katie added as
Ally's teeth gritted.

"Then I'm telling you now..stay away" Ally warned as she began walking
down the corridor towards the lifts.
"Ally" Katie growled as she quickly followed her ex wife

"Katie please just back off" Ally sighed as she clicked on the lift button
numerous times begging for the lift door to open before she had to listen to
another word from Katie.

"Al I need to.."

"Oh fuck this" Ally grumbled pressing the button roughly as storming off
towards the stairs as she burst opened the door the Surgeon soon followed
her.

"Ally" Katie shouted her tone causing the brunette to whip around as she
stopped descended the stairs.

"What" Ally snapped harshly glaring at Katie. No matter how angry she
was at her ex wife, Katie still looked intoxicating in her jeans and tight
fitted t-shirt.

"Sandra is in hospital" Katie blurted out as she watched Ally gulp slowly
taking steps back up towards her. Ally's face softened as worry washed over
her.

"Is she ok" Ally asked as Katie frowned...

**

Ally walked briskly through the main doors of the all too familiar hospital
she used to work in.

She had hopped on the next train from Manchester to London as soon as
Katie had told her Sandra was admitted to hospital. Katie insisted she came
with her much to Ally reluctance.

Ally wasn't going to argue with her, she was done with arguing for now and
just wanted to get back to London as soon as she could to see Sandra. She
quickly packed her stuff and let Katie ring Rach on their way to the train
station.
Ignoring one another as they got on the train, Ally knew Katie was dying to
speak to her..she could read Katie's nervous body language as she sat
opposite Ally the whole way back to London..trying to pluck up the courage
to speak to Ally but almost afraid of what Ally's reaction would be, she
decided against opening her mouth in case they made a scene on the busy
train.

So Ally sat quietly listening to her iPod praying Sandra was ok..Katie didn't
receive much details from one of the Doctors who had phoned her to say
she had been admitted to A&E with some infection. Katie knew it wasn't
good, she had seen Sandra's scans and her body was infested with tumours
she was surprised Sandra was holding out this long.

Katie wasn't about to tell Ally that though, she was going to sit in silence
opposite her and when the time was right she knew Ally would need
support and she was going to be there to comfort her no matter what.

"I'm looking for Sandra Wilson" Ally asked breathlessly as she stood at the
nurses station.

"Can I ask who you are" a nurse asked

"A friend...where is she" Ally shot back irritation in her voice

"I'm sorry but..."

"Hi...eh Gina" Katie interrupted looking at the nurses name badge

"Ms Thomas hi" Gina smiled as Ally rolled her eyes.

"If you could tell us where Miss Wilson is that would be great" Katie
replied with a smile as the woman smiled and nodded.

"Room 12" she replied as Ally stalked away without so much as a thank
you. Katie smiled at the nurse and quickly followed.

"Nayaya Ms Thomas" Ally grumbled mocking the nurses voice with slight
jealousy.
She hated how Katie would just have nurses fall at her feet with her polite
manner and smile.

She used to be that nurse and now she was her old jealous ex wife who was
more bitter than lemon.

Katie smirked at Ally who walked briskly in front of her, it made her smile
knowing exactly how Katie irritated her being nice to the staff and how they
treated her the same.

She was respected in her job just as she respected others knowing that nurse
was only doing her job in protecting her patient and checking who was
visiting.

"Ally" Katie reached forward as she tugged at Ally's elbow arriving outside
room 12. For the first time Ally didn't shrug out of her grip or tell her to let
go, she just turned to face Katie.

She looked scared, alone. Katie wanted to just hold her, tell her Sandra was
going to be ok but she knew she couldn't give Ally that false sense of
hope..she knew Ally knew deep down knew it herself.

"You ok" Katie asked as Ally nodded slowly as she glanced at the closed
door.

"I'll be right here ok" Katie added as she let her hand slide down Ally's arm
to grasp Ally's hand in her own.

Ally nodded again she appreciated the gesture for a moment before
dropping her ex wife's hand as she gave Katie a weak smile..despite not
wanting to be anywhere near Katie an hour ago.

She now appreciated why Katie had insisted on being here knowing she had
a very sick friend on the other side of that door, Ally needed Katie..

Thanks for reading xx

 Chapter 27

Ally sat quietly as she watched Sandra sleep peacefully surrounded by IV

drips and monitors, it saddened Ally to see her boss like this.

A woman who spent her whole career looking after her patients was now
dying in the same hospital she had spent 20 years of her a career. She had
never chosen to marry or have kids.

Her work was her life and she enjoyed every day despite having to tame the
younger nurses such as Ally. Even though Ally had only worked with
Sandra for a year she had learnt so much off her old boss.

She learnt how to be more passionate about her job, embrace every
operation she was involved it..changing that patients life. She was a part of
it and Ally owed her new way of doing her job to Sandra.

Sure they didn't see eye to eye a lot of the times but Sandra was there for
Ally especially in the months when Katie had came back into her
life..although not entirely comfortable with Ally's honesty of her
relationship with Katie.

Sandra was still always there to at least support Ally if not guide her in the
right direction..

The hospital door slowly clicked open and Katie's head appeared around it
glancing at Sandra and then giving Ally a weak smile as she entered the
room.

"How is she" Katie asked gripping a chair from the corner of the room and
placing it quietly next to Ally as she sat down.
"Still sleeping..she hasn't woken up...what did Dr. Watts have to say" Ally
replied as she twisted in her chair to face her ex wife, she knew by Katie's
face it wasn't good.

Katie had to break bad news to patients and family members all the time but
Ally knew how Katie worked.

She was married to her long enough to know when her ex wife was aching
inside as she had to tell bad news.

"Why don't we go for a walk" Ally asked as Katie's eyes locked with her
own, the Surgeon gave a quick nod as Ally placed a sweet kiss on Sandra's
forehead and followed her ex wife out onto the corridor.

Ally and Katie walked in silence towards the benches of a quiet park a short
distance from the hospital.

Ally could sense Katie had bad news as she stayed quiet clutching her cup
of coffee in her hand as her eyes focused on the ground.

Despite having there ups and plenty of downs the last few days Ally
breathed out a content sigh, for these few moments she blocked out
everything.

Sandra being sick, Jane, all that mattered was being here right now with
Katie just like old times they had a comfortable silence between them.

As Ally took a seat on the wooden bench she watched as Katie's eyes closed
for a couple of seconds as she inhaled the fragrance of freshly cut grass.

"Soooo" Ally said as she watched Katie finally taking a seat beside her.
Katie looked into her ex wife's eyes.

She hated breaking news to anyone but especially when it was someone she
loved. She didn't want to see Ally's eyes in any more pain she had caused
enough of it herself the last couple of weeks.
"It's not good babe" Katie finally said

"She's got pneumonia..they repeated some scans this morning and she has
four new tumours in her lungs, bowel and liver, the best thing they can do is
make her comfortable" Katie said quietly as Ally listened her tears began to
stream down her cheeks.

Ally began to sob as Katie pulled her tightly into her chest. She knew how
much Ally had respected and loved Sandra.

Katie hate breaking bad news to people and her heart broke as she held Ally
in her arms while she sobbed. Katie wanted to be here for Ally..she needed
to be here.

Katie knew she had big decisions to make and fast before she finally lost
Ally forever.

An hour had past as Katie's fingers brushed lightly through Ally's hair as
Ally's head rested lightly against Katie's chest.

She listened to Katie's slow strong heart beat something she loved to do
when they were married every morning as Katie would be asleep. She really
was glad Katie was back in London with her now while the others stayed at
the hen party.

It was two weeks until the wedding, until Ally went back to Australia, for
good this time. She couldn't bare the thought of coming back here again
with everyone's life so perfect while she still lived in the past, still in love
with her ex wife after all these years.

"Let's get back and see if she's awake" Katie said lightly as Ally nodded as
she leant back and stood up away from her ex wife.

Ally began to walk slowly towards the direction of the hospital as she
listened to Katie gather her bag behind her, within seconds she felt Katie
body brush against hers and their fingers found one another.
"Katie" Ally sighed as she glanced into her ex wife's eyes but Katie kept a
firm grip on her fingers as they continued to walk.

"Ally" Katie replied giving her a weak smile. Ally just wanted to rip her
hand back and tell Katie that she meant every word she said last night
outside the club but she couldn't.

She couldn't removed her hand from Katie's when they fitted so perfectly, it
felt so right. Ally rolled her eyes at Katie who chuckled lightly giving Ally's
fingers a light squeeze as they left the park.

Ally smiled inwardly as her heart raced her thoughts went back to her
conversation with Tiff last night..

**

"What" Ally blushed as she reached for her dress placing it swiftly over her
exposed body.

"I know you are fucking Katie and don't even think about denying it" Tiff
smirked as she sat back down on the bed she watched Ally closely.

Ally glared at Tiff as she inwardly panicked. Were things really that obvious
between her and Katie?..did Jane or Rach know?

"How'd you know" Ally mumbled as Tiff squealed and clapped her hands
together

"I fucking knew it" she laughed as Ally's cheeks blushed further.

"So let me get this straight Katie is having an affair with her ex wife whilst
cheating on my ex girlfriend" Tiff asked her bruised ego of the lack of sex
between her and Ally had suddenly vanished as Tiff was eager for details.

"Tiff" Ally sighed.

"You can't say a word please"

"How long" Tiff asked as she stood up and raided the mini bar in need of a
drink.

"Since my birthday party" Ally mumbled as Tiff turned to stare at her for a
moment, deep in thought as her eyes widened.

"Holy shit" Tiff gasped.

"What" Ally panicked.

"It was you two in the bathroom that night..you fucked her in the
bathroom...I came in to check the toilets hearing sounds and then I seen her
leave a few minutes later but didn't think anything of it...fuck Ally you dirty
dog" Tiff teased as she carried on pouring the mini bottles into two cups.

Ally racked her fingers through her hair feeling embarrassed as she thought
back on that night.

"Please Tiff, you can't tell anyone" Ally pleaded

"Who knows" Tiff asked stepping towards her as she handed the nurse a cup
of neat vodka, watching as Ally knocked it back straight shuddering with
the taste.

"No one and I want to keep it that way" Ally warned.

"So that's why you don't want to have sex with me not because you don't like
me but because you shagging your ex Mrs" Tiff questioned as Ally shot her
a dirty look

"Do you have to be so crude" Ally snapped back placing the cup on the
bedside locker

"I'm sorry Alison...aren't you the one who practically dry humped me on the
dance floor earlier and asked me to bring you here to fuck you" Tiff teased
sipping her brandy as Ally rolled her eyes "so tell me more" she asked.

"There's nothing to tell...we gave in to feelings in a moment of weakness

and anything that happened was a mistake and it is over now" Ally replied
trying to convince herself with her own words as Tiff nodded her head
slowly.

"Over" Tiff questioned.

"Over" Ally agreed.

"Why" Tiff asked taking another sip of her drink.

"Because" Ally shot back "She's with Jane...apparently for two years an all"
Ally added dryly

"She's clearly moved on"

"You are something else you know that" Tiff replied shaking her head.

"What's that suppose to mean" Ally snapped clearly offended.

"You ask your Mrs for a divorce because you couldn't get over what you
did..piss off to Australia and now act like a bitter ex because she's with
someone else after waiting for a year for you" Tiff shot back as Ally frowned

"How the hell do you know all that and what do you mean waited a year for
me" Ally snapped

"Nothing..it's getting late maybe you should go to your room" Tiff replied as
she polished off the end of her brandy and went to stand up but Ally's eager
hand gripped her own.

"Tiff...what do you mean" Ally asked confused as she watched the barmaid
chew her lip nervously contemplating on whether or not to open up or just
forget she had ever said anything.

Tiff rolled her eyes as she sat back down on the side of the bed.

"Before I bought Ruby's I used to work there..I was there when Shell
brought Katie every weekend out on the piss, attempting to cheer Katie up
after you left" Tiff said as Ally listened intently
"Your break up broke that girl anyone could see it..I didn't even know either
of you but I could see she was hurting..ignoring every girl that went near
her for months she just drank and attempted to be sociable for Shell's sake
anyway I was seeing Jane at the time..nothing serious but one night Shell
introduced to Katie and that was it..Jane found out Katie was a sucessful
Surgeon....stinking rich...in fact you clearly didn't rob half" Tiff smirked as
Ally shook her head.

"Jane chased Katie for almost a year...hounded her to go out with her for
dinner but for months Katie just ignored her..she worked and came out once
a week to see Shell and Rach keeping her distance from Jane as much as
she could..Katie had even gotten drunk one night and admitted to me she
wasn't interested in Jane or any other girl in the club for that matter little
did I know I'd be trying to bed the love of her life over two years later" Tiff
laughed.

"She finally gave in and they have been together since..you can't blame her
for moving on..she waited long enough for you Ally" Tiff added as Ally's
tears began to stream.

She was torn with her feelings for Katie, she knew she was just to blame for
sleeping with one another but she hated how Katie still had a hold over her.

She loved Katie suddenly feeling guilty yet she empathised with her wife
because thats exactly how she spent her first year in Australia...miserable.

"I'm such a fuck up" Ally sobbed as Tiff closed the gap between them and
wrapped her arms around the nurse

"I'm sorry for saying what I said..I just think you needed to know that Katie
isn't as bad as you think she is" Tiff replied as she held Ally who sobbed into
the older woman's shoulder.

"Honestly I know how Jane works she was more in love with the title of
Katie being a surgeon than actually Katie and honestly I think Katie let her
in just to fill the gap of not having you around" she added.
"I broke her heart when I cheated and then when she came to London I
broke it again..she deserved better than me..better than Jane but seeing her
now when I came back I realised I don't want to her to have better..I want to
make her happy...try a make up for what a shit I was in the past...I want her
in my life so bad it actually hurts in here" Ally cried as she held hand close
to chest.

"I know babe" Tiff soothed Ally as she continued to cry.

"You need to make your mind up about what you want because if Jane finds
out she won't give Katie up without a fight Ally" Tiff warned as she wiped
the brunette's tears away.

"I know" Ally mumbled as she sat up

"Thank you for putting up with me" she added as Tiff gave her a sweet
smile.

"How about we raid this mini bar and watch some telly" Tiff asked knowing
leaving Ally alone in this state was the last thing the broken hearted nurse
needed.

****

"Hey sleepy head" Ally smiled as Sandra's eyes began to flicker open. Ally
sat on the edge of her old boss's bed.

"Alison what are you doing here, shouldn't you be surrounded by strippers
now" Sandra replied weakly as she coughed.

"Nahhhh I decided I would surprise my battle axe of an ex boss with some

flowers" Ally replied casually pointing to the pink flowers on Sandra's
window ledge.

"Cost me ten quid them lot" Ally added.

"How are you feeling" she asked a little more serious as she stared at the
pale woman.
"Good considering I'm about to kick the bucket any day now" Sandra
replied weakly.

"Sandra" Ally warned as Sandra smiled but broke into a coughing fit as she
struggled to breath.

Ally twisted the knob of the oxygen tank higher, allowing her ex boss to
breath more in through her nasal prongs as she soon settled back.

"Thank you for being here" Sandra said as she reached for Ally's hand and
entangling it in her own.

"You don't need to thank me besides Katie came too, she's just nipped up to
her office" Ally replied

"Katie" Sandra smirked weakly as she attempted to wiggle her eyes brows
but it was no use she had no energy

"You need to fill me in on that but first Alison I need you to do something
for me" Sandra asked her eyes becoming heavy

"Anything" Ally replied placing a sweet kiss on Sandra's forehead.

**

"Thanks for taking me home" Ally said as she opened the door to her old
flat as Katie followed swiftly behind.

"No problem" Katie replied standing close to the door as Ally stood
nervously in the middle of the room.

"We need to talk" Katie blurted out nervously as Ally nodded taking a step
forward.

"I really want us to talk, no shouting just talk" Katie said as Ally was now
stood in front of her.

"I know" Ally whispered as her fingers brushed against Katie's soft cheek.
Katie's breathing became ragged as her eyes closed momentarily she
brushed her cheek into Ally's touch.

Ally leaned forward as she allowed their lips to brush against one another, a
sweet short kiss Katie was hesitant at first as she waited for Ally to pull
back and regret it but she soon found herself moaning as Ally's tongue
brushed against her own.

"Stay tonight..talk tomorrow" Ally whispered breathlessly against Katie

lips.

Katie nodded as she reached behind her shutting the flat door. Ally grasped
Katie's hand in her own as she lead them to her room.
 Chapter 28

Ally sighed as her eyes opened lazily, she noticed the early morning light
peeping through her curtains as she glanced at the clock on the bedside
locker.

Feeling a warm body snuggle further into her own she smiled as Katie
placed soft kisses against her exposed back.

"Morning" Katie mumbled against Ally's neck causing her to moan slightly
knowing exactly where Ally's weak spots were.

Gliding her hand that rested on Ally's stomach up she gave Ally's breast a
light squeeze as Ally turned to back to face the Surgeon.

"Hi" Ally breathed out clearly effected by Katie's touch as her finger tips
brushed over Katie's soft lips.

"What time is it" Katie questioned her lips playing against Ally's fingers,
god those fingers that drove her insane for hours last night.

"Nearly 7" Ally replied biting her lip nervously, even though it was sunday
she was hoping Katie didn't have to rush off to work.

Katie simply nodded as her hand remained over Ally's breast she let her lips
drop to Ally's exposed shoulder.

"You need to sleep, you look tired" Katie mumbled against Ally's shoulder
as Ally breathed out a content sigh.

Biting her lip as Katie's hand released her breast and teasingly ran down her
stomach, sleeping was the last thing she needed. The wetness growing
between her legs, she knew exactly what she needed.

"God" Ally groaned pressing her body firmly back against the mattress as
Katie smirked allowing her body to hover over the flustered nurse.

"What's wrong babe, anything I can help you with" Katie questioned as her
hand descended between Ally's legs she loved watching Ally bite her lip as
she struggled to keep her moans to herself.

Pressing her thumb against Ally's wetness she knew exactly how to tease
the nurse.

"Hmmmm something doesn't feel right" Katie said in a serious tone as

Ally's lazily eyes shot open as they locked with the Surgeon's.

Ally felt a knot in her stomach, last night had been perfect since they got
back from the hospital they couldn't get enough of each other.

Katie explored Ally, tasted her. She had craved her touch since friday. She
knew they had a lot to sort out with one another but last night wasn't about
fighting over Jane or Tiff.

It was about Katie and Ally, being with one another, showing each other
exactly how much they wanted each other and cherished one another.

"What is it, what doesn't feel right" Ally's eyes furrowed as Katie's face
remained blank.

Watching Ally gulp back her nerves Katie smirked as lifted up the sheet
over her giving her more access to Ally's naked body.

"I need to have a look" Katie smirked as she placed a quick kiss on Ally's
lips and slowly and teasingly descended Ally's aching body.

Ally's eyes widened as Katie's tongue brushed between her legs knowing
full well Katie was only teasing her.

"Fucking hell" Ally moaned as her body arched to Katie's contact causing
Katie to smile as began to listen to Ally's moans.
**

"What is it Sandra..anything" Ally asked as her hand connected with her ex

boss's.

"Take me home" Sandra mumbled as Ally frowned

"What" Ally questioned sitting slightly on Sandra's bed.

"Please just take me home..I know I'm going to kick the bucket and this
place is the last place I need to be" Sandra replied looking around at the
plain white walls.

Ally sighed as her eyes followed Sandra..she was right..it was empty this
place..depressing...she never understood why all rooms in hospital were like
this...sick people need cheering up not walls that mirrored exactly how they
felt.

"Sandra.."

"You could get Katie to discharge me..Please Alison" Sandra added as her
piss pot eyes pleaded with Ally.

"Sandra I can't..I mean..how...she's not even your doctor" Ally sighed

"and there's no way she will agree to it even if she was..you need some IV
antibiotics and then you'll be feeling better by next week.."

"No Ally" Sandra snapped

"I'm dying...I know it, Katie knows it, those useless morons out there know it
and so do you so stop talking to me like I'm one of your patients" Sandra
huffed as she fixed the nasal prongs in her nose.

She coughed as Ally shuddered with the sound of her chesty cough it wasn't
pretty.

"Please Alison..I'm asking you because I trust you..I trust you to help me go
home and enjoy whatever time I have left in this poxy world" Sandra said
calmly this time as her hand tightened around Ally's.

Ally chewed the inside of her cheek, her heart ached looking into Sandra's
saddened eyes.

"Ok" Ally nodded as Sandra gave her a grateful smile

"I'll talk to Katie"..

**

"Mmmmmhh I could never get tired of this" Katie hummed sprawling back
against the mattress and as a grinning Ally appeared from under the sheets
and rested her head against Katie's chest.

"We should get up at some point today" Ally said listening to Katie's rapid
heart beat as she traced her finger over Katie's stomach.

"I know..I should probably call into the hospital check on a few patients"
Katie replied placing a kiss on Ally's forehead.

"What time is Jane due back" Ally asked as she felt Katie's body tense.

Sure they had spent the last 18 hours in bed having mind blowing sex but
they couldnt hide out here forever, pretend like they could play happy
families.

"I don't know, I think their train was leaving at 2" Katie mumbled as Ally
glanced at the clock. It was nearing 3 and she needed to head into Sandra.

"She will be due back soon I'm sure" Ally said lightly as she removed
herself from Katie's grip and reached for a hoodie and bottoms nearby.

"Where are you going" Katie frowned sitting up as the sheet draped over
her naked body.

"I need to go see Sandra" Ally replied as Katie frowned watching the
oversize body cover her ex wife's body.
Ally chewed her lip nervously as she stared at Katie for a moment, she
needed to ask her about Sandra.

"Al why are you looking at me like that..out with it" Katie laughed as Ally
smiled nervously.

"I need to ask you something" Ally said as she approached the bed and sat
next to Katie.

Katie's hand slipped under Ally's hoodie as she trailed her fingers lightly
over Ally's stomach causing as Ally struggled to suppress a moan.

"Katie" Ally groaned.

"Seriously I need a favour" she asked as Katie smirked sitting up and

placing her hands on Ally's thighs pulling her closer to her.

Her fingers brushing back Ally's highlighted strands from her face as she
placed a short kiss against Ally's lips, god she could wake up like this every
morning for the rest of her life if she could.

"Anything for you babe" Katie whispered against Ally's soft lips. Ally
fidgeted with the sheet against Katie's skin.

"I want to bring Sandra home" Ally blurted out as Katie frowned slightly

"She wants me to bring her home" she added as Katie's face remained
expressionless.

"I'll do anything but that" Katie replied simply as she sat back against the
headboard as Ally frowned.

"Katie" Ally sulked

"Ally" Katie replied dryly causing the nurse to roll her eyes.

"You haven't even heard me out" Ally mumbled as she crossed her arms
over chest.
"She needs to stay in hospital and besides she's not even my patient" Katie
replied

"No she needs to go home, let her die with a bit of dignity at least" Ally shot
coldly as she stood up.

"Ally you can't just discharge her back home alone" Katie snapped as she
shot out of bed grabbing her discarded clothes as she followed Ally out of
the room.

"She won't be alone..I'm going to look after her...I should have known you
wouldn't even consider the idea" she grumbled as she made her way into the
kitchen flicking the kettle on. Katie gripped her elbow as Ally tried to
march back towards her room.

"Ally" Katie snapped as Ally rolled her eyes and stood facing her ex wife.

"She will get all the care she needs in the hospital...if she keeps getting the
antibiotics she might even get an extra few weeks" Katie said softly as she
placed her hands on a reluctant Ally.

"She's dying Katie...she doesn't want to be staring at those 4 walls for

whatever time she has left...she asked me as her friend...her ex colleague to
care for her...she needs me" Ally replied sadly as Katie sighed.

"I thought you could take over her care and discharge her..I can look after
her...I'm all she's got" she added as her eyes pleaded with Katie's.

Waiting for a response, for Katie to say of course babe anything for you.
She knew by Katie's stern look she wasn't going to get anywhere.

"Forget it" Ally said defeated.

"I'm going to have a shower before I go see Sandra" she added as she place
a quick kiss on Katie's cheek before making her way back to her room.

**
Ally watched as Sandra slept soundly in her bed. She had been sat here for
over two hours wishing there was something she could do..anything.

She knew getting Sandra out of here was out of her hands now she had tried
talking to Katie but it was no use. Katie wasn't her doctor and even if she
was there'd be no way of her even thinking about letting Sandra out of here
with her infection that bad...doctors..they fight until the end even if Sandra
was dying.

Ally knew Katie would do anything in her power to maker sure she got the
best treatment with Dr. Watts. She had walked hand in hand with Katie into
the hospital as they remained silent after leaving her apartment.

Katie suggested they talked about what was happening between them but
truth was Ally was drained, her body was exhausted from last night with
Katie not that she was complaining but her mind was occupied with Sandra.

She had managed to get Katie to give up on the idea of the "talk" today...she
just wanted to be with Sandra for however long she had.

Ally watched as the door opened hoping it was one of the on call doctors
back with Sandra's bloods Ally had been hounding them for.

"Hey" Katie whispered as she glanced between a sleeping Sandra and Ally
who sat back in her seat.

"Well don't look too happy to see me" Katie mocked as she sat next to Ally
handing her a cup of coffee.

"Sorry" Ally mumbled as she leaned forward placing a short kiss on Katie's
lips as she took the cup gratefully.

"I just thought you were one of the doctors" she added as she glanced
worrying at Sandra who was out cold.

"Ah but I'm a Surgeon..I'm even better than those silly doctors out there"
Katie replied as Ally rolled her eyes taking a sip of her coffee.
"Besides they don't even know what they are doing half the time" Katie said
casually as Ally's attention remained on Sandra.

"Which is why I spent the last hour speaking to Dr. Watts on the phone in
my office and convinced him that even though Sandra isn't a surgical
candidate I'm taking over her care" Katie added as Ally's head snapped
around to look at her.

"Really" Ally's brown eyes pleaded with Katie as Katie smiled allowing her
fingers to wipe away the tears now forming in Ally's eyes.

"Really" Katie agreed.

"I'll speak with Palliative tomorrow and maybe would could arrange home
IV's for Sandra for next week...maybe" Katie added sternly as Ally squealed
wrapping her arms around Katie.

"Thank you..thank you" Ally mumbled into Katie's hair as she place sweet
short kisses on her head causing the surgeon to laugh.

"You have no idea how much this means to Sandra and to me" Ally said
leaning back as she reached for Katie's hand entangling their fingers.

It was there and then that Ally knew she couldn't deny it anymore, she
couldn't block Katie out anymore.

Sure they needed to sort things out and as far as she knew Katie was still
with Jane but she didn't feel guilty for feeling this way about Katie. How
could she feel guilty when Katie had her heart for all these years.

"I love you" Ally said sincerely as their eyes locked. Katie felt like she had
been winded as Ally's words rang through her ears, her heart raced and
hands became sweaty as she stared at the woman in front of her.

The woman she could never get off her mind even if she wanted to.

"I love you too" Katie replied as she brought their tangled hands to her lips
as placed a sweet kiss against Ally's soft skin.
 Chapter 29

"Let's get you comfortable on the couch" Ally insisted as she held Sandra's
hand tightly as the older woman slowly made her way into her living room.

Sitting down she gasped for air as Ally quickly changed her portable
oxygen to her home oxygen machine.

"It's good to be home" Sandra hummed causing Ally to smile to herself as

the prop the pillow behind Sandra.

"I'll make us some tea" she smiled as she began to walk towards the kitchen
she felt a tight grip around her wrist.

"Thank you Alison..I really mean it...I couldn't have done this without you"
Sandra said with such warmth in her voice it could almost have brought
Ally to tears.

She wasn't used to Sandra being so vulnerable. The Sandra she knew was
the bossy sarcastic old woman who she worked with her every day when
she lived in London.

Now Sandra was skin and bone, still battling a nasty chest infection that
could possibly kill her before the multiple tumours in her body did.

Ally needed to do this for Sandra, take care of her after years upon years of
Sandra caring for others. It was her turn now to receive the best care
possible and Ally was going to make sure she did.

"Oh stop it you old battle axe...I know you only want me here cause you
fancy me" Ally teased as a grin formed on Sandra's face.
She needed Ally's humour to get her past the fact she wasn't going to be
living in this world for much longer.

Ally flicked the kettle on and began sorting out Sandra's home supplies.
Katie had pretty much organised everything herself from the hospital.

Making sure antibiotics were delivered to the house so Ally could give her
home IV's and the morphine pump would be arriving by the pharmacy in
the next hour.

Ally made a mental note to make sure and she thanked Katie properly later
for all her hard work. They hadn't spent much time together since Sunday.

Ally had been spending her mornings helping out with whatever she could
for Rach and Shel's wedding as they made their final preparations while
spending her afternoons in the hospital with Sandra.

Ally hated the fact that Katie was working only two floors above Sandra's
room but yet she couldn't see her. She knew Katie was busy this week with
surgeries and getting Sandra home as soon as she could.

It was putting pressure on the Surgeon, they spoke as much as they could on
the phone chatting and flirting. Ally didn't dare mention Jane's name. She
knew Katie was still clearly in a relationship with her and Ally wasn't about
to get involved.

It made her skin crawl the thought of Jane even talking to Katie, let alone
whatever else the couple were doing.

Ally didn't even know what her and Katie were even doing, of course they
had finally admitted they loved each other sure that meant something to
Katie?

But what was actually going on between them. Ally was glad to be moving
in with Sandra for a while to look after her. The last thing she wanted was
to risk bumping into Jane in Rach's apartment or Rach finding out about her
and Katie.
Ally's phoned buzzed as she checked the clock above the sink knowing it
was now the afternoon it was most likely Katie after getting out of the last
of her surgeries.

Afternoon beautiful!I hope Sandra is settling in ok!I'll be over with

some Chinese at 5...I love you X

Ally grinned at her phone as she clutched it towards her chest, biting her lip
she couldn't wait for the next 4 hours to hurry the fuck up so she could see
Katie.

She missed her, she wished she could just call around to her flat whenever
she wanted or stay the night like a normal couple, were they a couple
though?

They were technically having an affair and if it was anyone but Jane, Ally
may have actually felt guilty for sleeping with Katie. Tiff had filled

Ally in on how much of a using little shit Jane really was, she didn't care
about Katie, about what made Katie laugh or smile.

All Jane cared about was having a successful surgeon as girlfriend she
could boast to all of her friends who also happened to have a nicely figured
bank account.

**

"Hey" Katie beamed as Ally opened the front door.

"Hi" Ally smiled like a little child as she stepped to the side allowing Katie
to enter the house.

"I missed you" Katie said as Ally's heart raced feeling the Surgeon lips on
her own she melted into Katie touch.

"Hmmmm" Ally hummed as her head rested against the wall as their eyes
locked..
"Oii lesbians I can you hear you dry humping from in here" Sandra called
out as Ally blushed rolling her eyes causing Katie to laugh.

Katie stepped back as Ally placed a short kiss on her lips and clasped the
surgeons hand in her own directing into the sitting room.

"Ms. Thomas" Sandra huffed as she fixed the her nasal prongs in her nose.

"Sandra how many times do I have to tell you...Katie will do just fine"
Katie said as she placed the brown bag of Chinese takeaway on the coffee
table.

"I'll get some plates" Ally said as she exited the room.

"None for me" Sandra called out "I'm not hungry..why don't you girls make
yourselves at home in the kitchen..I'm just going to have a nap...that woman
of yours Katie has drained me with small talk all afternoon" Sandra said as
she rested back against the pillow.

Katie smirked as she took the food and followed Ally into the kitchen.

"She needs to eat something" Ally mumbled as she opened the cupboards
taking out two plates out as Katie dished out the food.

"How is she doing" Katie asked and Ally shrugged her shoulders

"She's done more work for herself than she'll let me...she won't even let me
flush her port" Ally replied as she sat down at the table.

"Are you sure you can manage babe...this isn't going to be easy especially
with the wedding coming up and all" Katie asked.

"I'll be fine anyway it'll do me good staying here for a while I'm sick of
hearing Shel shouting down the phone correcting the wedding planner
everyday...poor woman will end up in an asylum if Shel doesn't take it easy
on her" Ally replied causing Katie go laugh as they ate their food.

Katie reached across as she took Ally's fingers between her own.
"Speaking of the wedding....I think it's best I don't say anything to Jane
about us until afterwards" Katie said as Ally placed her fork on her plate.

"It's cool" Ally said shrugging her shoulders

"I haven't slept with her, I mean since you know..well since Manchester"
Katie stuttered as Ally shook her head

"I don't want to know" Ally replied sharply.

The idea of Jane and Katie made her heartache but she wasn't about to
admit that to her ex wife.

Looking after Sandra and getting through the wedding was the first priority
right now..she knew Katie wasn't going anywhere so they could talk about
after the wedding.

"I love you Al...like really fucking love you...if I knew Jane wouldn't freak
out I would have ended things the night of your birthday but Jane's...Well
Jane is.."

"Is difficult" Ally added as Katie smirked taking a mouth full of rice.

"I love you too..we will figure this out after the wedding..I promise ok...but
until then we can have a little fun can't we" Ally questioned as she placed a
chip in her mouth.

The flirtatious smile grew on Katie's mouth as she pushed her plate towards
the centre of the table, suddenly she was hungry for something else.

"You know it was awfully rude of you not giving me a tour of your new
room" Katie huffed retracting her hand as she folded her arms across her
chest causing Ally bite her lip.

Ally pushed her full plate of food next to the surgeons as she got to her feet.
Walking around the table she reached out entwining Katie's fingers with her
own as she began walking down the hall way quietly with Katie in tow.
Gentle snores escaped Sandra as she was passed out with Jeremy Kyle in
the background she squealed as she raced upstairs trying to escape Katie's
wandering a hands.

**

Katie released a content sigh as her body collapsed back against the
sheets..her arms wrapping around a breathless Ally who shifted against the
Surgeons chest.

"I don't think I could ever get bored of you doing that with your tongue"
Katie groaned as fingers traced over Ally's arm. Ally giggled as she kissed
Katie's collar bone.

"Something I learnt in nursing school" Ally teased as Katie laughed.

"Babe even when we were married the sex was good but Jesus I don't know
if it's the Australian sun or what but keep doing that thing with your tongue
to me for the rest of my life and I might just have to marry you again" Katie
laughed as Ally's body tensed...what the hell...how did making Katie come
with her tongue end in some sort of marriage proposal.

They had only told each other they loved one another last week, they
weren't even a couple for Christ sake. Katie sensed Ally's sudden quietness
and the brunette was deep in thought.

"What's wrong" Katie asked as she shuffled her body to her side and stared
into Ally's lost eyes..

"You just said marriage...I..I..." Ally stuttered

"Al I was joking" Katie laughed as Ally's face soon softened with relief
washing over her she breathed out a sigh of relief

"Thank god..that would have been awkward" Ally laughed as she lay her
head down against the pillow resting her eyes shut she'd gladly have a nap
right now but she soon felt as though she was being watched her eyes
flicked open towards Katie who was staring at her with a blank expression.
Mimicking Katie's position Ally was soon facing her on her side.

"Now what's wrong" Ally asked lightly as her finger traced over Katie's
neck and chest she was confident she could go for round two just looking at
Katie made her body want more..

"Would it be such a bad thing if we got married" Katie asked almost

offended by Ally's reaction as Ally's eyes widened her hand quickly
retracting.

"I..I don't think...no I mean..I don't know if I want to ever get married
again..I never thought about it" Ally said honestly feeling uncomfortable as
Katie's face furrowed.

"Oh" is all Katie could say a little disappointed but not really sure why, she
didn't even know if she could go through all that again either.

"Why...do you want to get married..." Ally asked feeling totally

uncomfortable now talking about marriage to her ex wife while they were
technically having an affair.

"No" Katie snapped a little too quickly not really sure why they were
having this conversation. Now Ally looked a little disappointed, they stared
at one another awkwardly for a moment.

The truth was Ally never really thought about marriage after her divorce
and here she was in her most vulnerable position, naked and having this
weird conversation with Katie

The urge for round two with Katie was well and truly out the window, now
she wanted to crawl under a rock.

"I mean...I never thought about marriage again after..I just..." Ally stuttered
as she pulled the sheet further up her exposed body.

"No me either...I was just joking..I mean sex...I was talking about your
tongue and..." Katie stuttered as the awkwardness became a little too
overwhelming.

"I should go" Katie said as she reached for her discarded clothes on the
floor with her back to Ally.

"Ok" Ally agreed as she slapped her forehead. She climbed out of the bed
and collected her own items of clothing swiftly putting them back on.

"I'll text you" Ally offered as Katie nodded stepping forward placing a
quick kiss on Ally's lips as Katie smiled turning around and walking
towards the stairs, cursing herself as she descended the stairs.

Even after their break up Katie had never felt this awkward, she should
have kept her big mouth shut. She didn't even know if she wanted to get
married again.

It was a slip of the tongue but she could tell she caught Ally off guard with
the it and truth was she wasn't even thinking about she was saying, could
they get married again..was that were their relationship would eventually
end up, Katie didn't know.

She knew she wanted Ally in her life..she couldn't bear the thought of not
being around Ally again, not being able to love her again and now she
freaked Ally out.

She knew she needed to let this settle before she even began to try explain
what she wanted. Her phone buzzed in her pocket as she reached the front
door of Sandra's house..no doubt it was Jane wondering where she was it
was almost 9, god she didn't need to be around Jane right now.

She wanted to crawl under her duvet and go back in time to erase today,
well maybe not the sex part..the sex was good...amazing in fact..so amazing
it got her into this awkward situation.

"Bye babe" Ally's face softened as she placed a sweet short kiss on Katie's
lips.
"I...I...bye" Katie stuttered as she quickly opened the door and descended
the steps and out onto the quiet residential street. Ally sighed as she leaned
against the closed door. What the actual fuck...

"Harris" Sandra shouted through her coughs as Ally quickly raced into the
sitting room.

"Are you ok" Ally asked flustered as she checked Sandra over. Sandra
slapped Ally's hand away from her subcutaneous pump

"Mine" Sandra snapped playfully as she held her pump of morphine in her
hand.

"Bloody hell Sandra I thought there was something wrong" Ally huffed and
she fell back on the sofa.

"There is, I'm disturbed for the rest of my short existent life" Sandra snarled

"Did you enjoy christening my spare bedroom on your first night" she
added as Ally blushed

"You heard that" Ally mumbled

"Yeh...paper thin these walls" Sandra added

"Are you going to fill me in on your little situation between you and Ms.
Thomas"

Ally shrugged her shoulders in defeat. What could she say other than she
loved her ex wife.

She never stopped loving her but things were complicated. They both had
their own lives now.

Ally's being the other side of the world..was she really ready to leave her
career in Australia or was Katie willing to leave her job to move over.

They couldn't expect one another to make that decision after a few weeks of
sex, could they?
Then of course there was Jaaaaaaaane...Ally was never intimidated by
others but there was something about Jane.

She couldn't put her finger on it but she knew as soon as Katie broke things
off with her. Ally would be her number one target..

"It's complicated" Ally sighed. Where did she even begin to try and explain
to Sandra what was going on between her and Katie, when she didn't even
know...

Can I just say thank you so much for everyone who has been reading,
voting and commenting nearly at 35000 views..A M A Z I N G feeling so
cheers :D The awkwardness between them is simply awkwardness haha
nothing else dont worry KALLY are fine lol it's just awkwardness from
past experience when you are in that vulnerable position of the comfort
of your bed lol!!Anyway thank you xxx
 Chapter 30

"What I would do for a pair of tits like that" Ally exhaled as she coughed
out the thick smoke.

"Easy Alison" Sandra warned as she barely turned to look at the nurse.

Ally knew Sandra was getting weaker and weaker as the days past by.

"Honey from here, your tits look perfect" Tiff whistled as Ally rolled her
eyes passing over the joint to the older woman.

"Not happening Tiff" Ally shot back as Sandra gave them both a
disappointing look.

"Do you lesbians have to be so vulgar..the poor lady is presenting a show

and you two are talking about her like a pair of teenage boys, show the lady
some respect" Sandra snapped as she gasped for air.

"It's not as though she can hear us" Ally shot back as she glanced at Tiff
who inhaled sharply and remained staring at Ally's boobs.

"Stop" Ally warned covering her chest as she reached to take the spliff from
Tiff once again.

"Sorry I forgot only the Surgeon gets a sneak peak nowadays" Tiff teased as
Ally rolled her eyes.

"Speaking of...where is your lover tonight" Tiff asked as Ally shrugged her
shoulders.

"Working I presume" Ally said casually as Tiff's eyes squinted not looking
convinced.
"Lovers Tiff" Tiff asked giggling at herself at her own joke.

"No she just doesn't stalk me every night of the week" Ally shot back
getting a dig at Tiff who had spent the last 2 evenings around in Sandra's
house.

Of course she said she was here to support Sandra but Ally knew full well
once she heard what Sandra had stashed in her cookie jar in the kitchen she
was clearly here for the free drugs.

The truth was Ally enjoyed the company. Rach was busy with wedding stuff
and Katie had been on call the past couple of days so they only really got to
see each other briefly in the afternoons when Katie would come to check in
on Sandra.

They hadn't mentioned their previous awkward encounter between them

again after that day in bed, truth be told Ally was glad Katie didn't bring it
up the next day over lunch.

Ally knew she overreacted but she didn't expect Katie to mention the word
marriage again...not after everything they had been through the last 6 years.
So having Tiff here to keep her mind occupied was actually a god send.

It meant she wasn't sitting here evening after evening pining for Katie or
waiting for Sandra to deteriorate, nope Sandra was stubborn as always and
although she was becoming more weak as they week went on she still had
her usual sharp tongue.

She refused any more IV's Ally had set up for her, all she wanted now was
her box of morphine to get her through the day.

"How long until those brownies are cooked" Ally asked as Tiff shrugged her
shoulders relaxing back against the sofa she was clearly beyond caring as
her freedom took over her body.

"Useless" Ally grumbled as she swayed slightly getting to her feet, she felt
relaxed as she made her way into the kitchen and checking on the pot
brownies.
The strong smell of pollen filled her nostrils as she left them out to cool.
Ally smiled as she stared at the photo hanging over Sandra's dinning room
table.

It had been taking a few years back in theatre with all the staff on Ally's last
day working with Sandra, it made her smile. She knew her and Sandra had
clashed at the best of times with Sandra nagging at Ally like an old mother
but now that she reflected on their relationship she knew Sandra had always
had Ally's best interest at heart.

"You ok" Tiff asked as she strolled into the kitchen.

"Yeh...you" Ally asked as she watched Tiff's finger glide lightly over the
freshly brownies clearly still too hot as Tiff winced slightly as she shook her
hand in the air as she nodded in reply.

"You know you don't have to hang around here..I'm sure you have more
interesting stuff to do than hang out here with me and Sandra" Ally said
leaning against the kitchen counter as she closed her eyes momentarily
feeling the full effects of the joint she shared with Tiff moments ago.

"What" Tiff laughed.

"No of course not...I'm cool being here...besides I miss your perky self now
that you aren't working at the bar anymore" Tiff replied

"and by perky I mean those" Tiff added as her eyes wandered over Ally's
chest once again causing the nurse to laugh as she reached across smacking
the older woman's arm.

"I just want you to know that if you need to talk I'm here..I know I flirt and
joke all the time but really Ally if you need to vent about anything I am here
for you as a mate" Tiff smiled as she playfully pushed the nurse away.

Ally smiled as she stepped forward wrapping her arms around Tiff as she
brought their bodies close.
"Ohhhhh what is this for" Tiff asked as she held Ally close breathing in her
intoxicating smell.

Ally pulled her head back as she kept her arms firmly around Tiff's
shoulders and as their eyes locked

"Thank you for being here, I haven't told you how much our friendship
means to me..I know it's only new but seriously since I've been home...you
are the only one I can really talk to...about everything" Ally said as Tiff
gave her a warm smile.

"You don't have to thank me Ally...you're a cool girl and I just don't want to
see you get hurt out of all this shit with Jane....I'm just worried about you"
Tiff said as Ally gave her a reassuring nod.

The kitchen door swung fully open as Ally's head snapped around to see
two familiar blue eyes glaring at them.

"Katie..hey" Ally coughed awkwardly as she dropped her hands to her side
settling back from Tiff who's hands dropped from Ally's hips.

Katie remained quiet as she glared at Tiff who stood awkwardly looking
towards Ally, anywhere around the room but directly into Katie's glaring
eyes.

"What are you doing here" Ally asked keeping a distance between both
women.

It was hardly appropriate to greet a woman she was having an affair with in
front of Jane's ex girlfriend.

"I took the night off, they'll ring if anything urgent comes in..I wanted to see
how Sandra was and see you" Katie said her eyes softening slightly as they
connected with Ally's.

She glanced back at Tiff who was clearly avoiding her gaze like the plague
and feeling very awkward but why Katie thought to herself.
"If I'm interrupting something I can go home" Katie suggested as Ally's
stepped forward in response, wrapping her arms around the Surgeon.

"No" Ally snapped

"We were just making some brownies and chilling with Sandra" Ally smiled
as she leaned forward placing a kiss on Katie's cheek causing Katie's tense
body to soon relax as her arm wrapped around Ally's slender shoulder.

"I thought I could smell something funky when I walked in" Katie said as
Tiff burst into a fit of giggles followed by Ally.

"I'm just gonna...go...Sandra" Tiff gasped through giggles as she pointed

towards the living room.

Ally's giggles soon subsided as she was left with an irritated looking Katie
who broke from Ally's touch.

"Am I interrupting something here" Katie frowned as she stared at the

nurse.

"Me and Tiff...what no...god no" Ally began to giggle again as Katie began
shaking her head clearly not satisfied with her answer.

"Babe no" Ally said softly as she stepped forward to Katie and wrapping
her arms around her.

"She's just a friend..a really fucking good friend..that's it...I promise" Ally
said as she leaned forward placing a tender kiss on Katie's lips.

"I missed you" Ally kissed each word against Katie's lips until the surgeons
body relaxed into her own.

Capturing Katie's lips against her own, Ally's tongue teasingly begged for
entrance as Katie soon gave in and deepened the kiss. Katie moaned as Ally
pushed her causing Katie's back to collide with the kitchen counter.

Her hands becoming lost in Ally's long sun kissed hair..this is what she
needed...she had been counting down the hours in work until she could
finally leave and get to spend time with Ally.

She felt bad with her schedule in work the past few days meant she couldn't
see Ally much..if she wasn't working, she was sleeping or keeping Jane
sweet as she could.

She couldn't wait for Rach and Shels wedding which was only a week and a
half away as soon as they said I do. Katie was going to tell Jane that they
were over.

Sure she felt guilty but strangely not as guilty as she felt now not getting to
spend her nights holding Ally and telling her how much she loved her.

She had told Jane this morning she would be working tonight and was
determined to get one night to hold Ally and wake up with her and now she
felt jealous seeing Tiff's hands on Ally made her blood boil but she couldn't
exactly kick off.

Here was she with a girlfriend, sleeping with her ex wife. How fucked up
was that?

"I'm staying the night" Katie mumbled as she gasped for air, feeling Ally's
fingers brush under her top caused her body to jerk with excitement.

She couldn't wait to bring Ally upstairs and show her how much she missed
her.

"What about Jane" Ally mumbled against Katie's lips trying her hardest to
keep it PG knowing Tiff and Sandra were in the next room.

"She thinks I'm working..fuck Ally...I want you so bad" Katie mumbled as
she gripped Ally's hips and twirled them around so Ally was now pressed
against the counter.

Katie's hands traced over Ally's jeans causing the nurse to groan as she
crashed their lips together for a brief passionate kiss.

Ally groaned as Katie's lips descended to her neck..they had to stop..she

knew if Katie laid another finger on her she wouldn't be able to stop.
She would gladly enjoy getting fucked on this kitchen counter but she
needed to respect Sandra..this was Sandra's house and plus Tiff was here.

"Babe we need to stop" Ally grumbled at her own words as A breathless

Katie took a step back.

"Let's go upstairs" Katie suggested biting her lip innocently as Ally

squeezed her legs tightly together knowing full well if she did go upstairs it
wouldn't take Katie long before she'd have Ally screaming out her name.

"We can't, we have company and besides it's only 8" Ally replied as she
leaned forward placing a sweet kiss against Katie's flushed cheek.

"Later, I'm gonna make you come over and over just with my tongue" Ally
growled into Katie's ear as she felt Katie's body to shudder to her words
causing her to smile.

"But until then you are going sit in there and behave yourself for at least
another hour" Ally smirked as Katie gulped and gave a quick nod. She was
like a puppy on a short laois, waiting and waiting for her reward and she
couldn't fucking wait.

"Good" Ally grinned pecking Katie's lips and she grasped her hand and
pulled her towards the living room.

"Ms. Thomas" Sandra croaked looking between Ally and Katie.

"How are you feeling" Katie asked as she crouched to her feet whilst Ally
threw a cushion at Tiff who looked bored watching the telly.

"Like I'm about to die" Sandra replied sharply.

"Not with a stubborn tongue like that, what are you vitals like" Katie asked
as it made Ally smile.

Katie wasn't treating Sandra just as a patient she was speaking to her like
they were back in theatre and Katie was inquiring what she needed to know
by the nursing staff.
Katie needed to give Sandra some dignity and treat her as though she would
if they were back in the operating table.

"Stable...for now" Sandra replied shifting uncomfortably.

"You know you should consider moving into your room" Katie suggested,
remembering how much she had to bribe bed management to spare Sandra
a hospital bed to bring home in case she needed it.

"I have already said that several times" Ally interjected as Katie frowned
looking over to where Tiff was rolling what looked like joint.

"I am not staring a four blank walls, if I move in there I might as well be
back in the hospital..I like it here and I'm staying here" Sandra huffed as
Katie stood up knowing not to push any further.

Katie sat on the empty couch opposite Sandra as she glared as Tiff licking
the tobacco skin as she folded it into a perfect cone shape.

Ally immediately got to her feet as she grinned whilst sitting next to Katie
and stretching her arm behind Katie's seat as she nuzzled her nose teasingly
against Katie's neck before snuggling in to the surgeon and focusing on the
telly.

The instant smell of weed hit Katie's nostrils could have made her puke, it
reminded her of being back home in NJ in college.

Her old room mate used to smoke the stuff all the time and came reeking
home with the smell, it still made Katie nauseous to this day.

Katie never got into the whole drug scene, sure partly because she was
studying medicine but also her own personal choice.

What was the need to get high, if your life was shitty then change it..you
didn't need a plant extract dictating your mood or when it was time to eat.

"You want some babe" Tiff asked exhaling a long drag as Ally shook her
head keeping her eyes fixated on the telly as she played with a strand of
Katie's hair.
Katie's jaw clenched, she hated how casual Tiff was with Ally. She knew
they were just friends but it didn't stop her jealousy at how Tiff called Ally
babe and how casual Ally declined to take drugs.

Biting her tongue Katie urged herself to calm down as she tried to focus on
the television.

"You ok" Ally mumbled as she released the strand of Katie's hair allowing
with to curl as she brushed it behind Katie's ear.

"Great" Katie mumbled as her eyes diverted back to the television, this
wasn't how she wanted to spend her night with Ally.

Watching some shit reality crap on the television while the room filled with
smoke..she couldn't keep it in anymore as her body tensed.

"I don't think you should be smoking that around Sandra do you" Katie
snapped at Tiff who flicked ash into a nearby ash tray as she glanced
nervously between Ally and Katie.

"Medicinal purposes" Tiff smiled as Ally scoffed a short laugh turning back
to the telly.

"Funny that...I don't remember writing that on Sandra's prescription" Katie

replied dryly.

"It's fine...honestly I enjoy the second hand effect of it since it sends me into
coughing fits nowadays when I take a drag" Sandra said as Tiff grinned and
took another long drag causing Katie to mumble under her breath.

"Babe why don't you go up to bed and I'll follow you up" Ally suggested as
Katie could feel her anger bubble anymore

"No I'm fine here" Katie snapped giving Tiff a threatening scowl and then
looking back to a nervous looking Ally who gave her a sympathetic smile
causing her heart to melt..god she loved this girl..

"You staying here tonight then Thomas" Tiff asked as she pushed the
burning joint against the ashtray and place it on the coffee table as she
leaned back on the sofa allowing the aroma around her take it's effect.

"Yeh...are you" Katie shot back a little too harshly as Tiff held her hands up
in defence.

"Katie" Ally mumbled.

"What" Katie snapped as Ally was a little taken back.

"Sorry" she mumbled as Ally remained quiet.

"I'll be off then" Tiff said as she shot to her feet "wow" she giggled as she
walked over to Sandra placing a quick kiss on her forehead.

"I'll be back for some brownies tomorrow" she smiled as Sandra grunted a
good bye.

"I'll call you tomorrow babe" Tiff said to Ally who remained quiet and
nodded in agreement as she got to her feet.

"Thanks for the company" Ally said as she wrapped her arms around Tiff,
she could feel Katie's stare burning into the back of her head but she didn't
care.

Katie was acting like a twat tonight and her and Tiff weren't going to be her
targets for any longer.

"Night Katie, give Jane my regards won't you" Tiff smirked as Ally pushed
the older woman out the room towards the front door.

Katie gritted her teeth as she heard muffled voices and giggles from the
hallway.

"Oii relax...she loves you remember that" Sandra warned as she switched
the television off

"Don't push her away with your insecurities..you don't want a repeat of last
time" Sandra said as Katie got to her feet and approached the frail woman.
Placing her hand on Sandra's cool arm she heard Tiff shouting a goodbye
from outside the house.

Katie felt a tight grip around her wrist as she looked down into Sandra's
blood shot eyes.

"You are twice the woman Tiffany will ever be...I know it...Tiff knows it
and so does Ally....look after Alison for me" Sandra said weakly as she
choked back her tears.

Katie nodded as she leaned down placing a kiss on Sandra head.

"I'll see you in the morning" Katie whispered as Sandra released her grip
and she closed her eyes.

Flicking the light off Katie quietly made her way out of the living room as
she closed the door over.

Stepping into the hall, Ally leaned against the front door as her expression
remained blank. Katie felt like a shit.

She knew she shouldn't have snapped at Ally,maybe it was the stress or
tiredness getting to her but either way she knew Tiff was only trying to
wind her up.

Katie flashed Ally an apologetic smile as she could sense Ally's face was
dying to break into a grin but she refrained from it as she walked towards
the bottom of the stairs.

"I'm going to bed" Ally mumbled as she climbed the stairs leaving a
confused looking Katie.

"Shit" Katie muttered as she stepped towards the front door. Why couldn't
she just keep her stupid mouth shut.

She needed to learn how to control her jealously but honestly when it came
to Ally she had no control over it.
She had lost Ally twice before and she was damned if she was going to lose
out on a chance of happiness this time around.

So much for her night with Ally..she lifted her coat off the rack as she
decided she was going to head back to the hospital and stay there tonight.

Opening the front door she sighed as guilt pumped through her.

"Well aren't you coming" Ally's voice descended the stairs as Katie's head
snapped around to look up the stairs as Ally's face remained blank.

Ally reached down to her jeans and began unbuttoning them painfully slow
as Katie gulped slamming the front door shut as she quickly climbed the
stairs following the smirking brunette to her room.

Thanks as always for reading, liking and commenting xx

"You are so tense" Ally said as her fingers pressed against Katie's hardened
back.

"With someone as sexy as you on straddling me who wouldn't be" Katie

replied as Ally laughed slapping the Surgeon playfully.

"Seriously you work too hard" Ally said as Katie shifted her body around
keeping Ally straddling her hips she laid back against the mattress.

"I know" Katie sighed as her fingers traced underneath Ally's oversized
hoodie.

"You won't be young forever you know...you are going to have to slow
down at some point" Ally said casually.

Although she hadn't been around her ex wife for 3 years she knew Katie
was as hard working as ever.

"I have cut down a lot since Gambia though, I'll never get so caught up in
something like that again...I lost the best thing I had because of it" Katie
replied with such regret in her voice as Ally frowned her hands resting on
Katie's neck.

"I love you" Ally said causing Katie to smile.

"I love you too Al and I know there's a lot more to life than just work" Katie
smiled as she pulled Ally down beside her.
"Can we just lie like this for a while" Ally asked snuggling her body into
Katie's as Katie's arm wrapped around her.

"When you say more to life than work, you are talking about having a hot
fling with your ex Mrs are you" Ally teased as she played with the string of
her own trackies Katie had borrowed.

"Fling" Katie scoffed

"No I'm talking about everything...you and me...I want us to have another
go at this..I want us to be a family...have a family" Katie added as Ally
looked up at her ex wife.

Katie's face remained serious...she wasn't joking. Sure they had talked about
having a family when they we married years ago but a lot had happened
since then, was Ally really ready to forget about her past and try make Katie
happy again.

***

"I want one" Ally said as she tapped at the window, heart swelling at the
bundle of cuteness on the other side of the window.

"No way" Katie dismissed her wife as she tugged Ally's hand away from the
window.

"But Katie" Ally sulked as she reluctantly followed her wife.

"Ally you can barely look after yourself, no way are we getting a puppy"
Katie laughed off her wife's eagerness for the ball off fluff in the pet shop.

"That's not true...I look after you don't I" Ally asked raising an eye brow at
her wife who glanced back at her. Judging by Ally's flirtatious smile she
knew she needed to answer this with caution.

"Sort of" Katie replied as Ally's face furrowed

"I mean yeh you make me happy but I don't think having the responsibility
of a vulnerable young pup is what you need" Katie said as Ally's stopped in
her tracks...shit..

"What do you mean what I need" Ally snapped.

"I mean...look babe you are someone who needs taking care of and I just so
happen to like taking care of you so that's why we are meant to be..along
with the hot sex and lovey dovey stuff you know I love you but I don't think a
puppy is a good idea" Katie tried to explain.

Ally teeth gritted as she glared at her wife. Looking around the busy street
she knew having a domestic in front of strangers wasn't her idea of how she
wanted to spend her only day off for the next week.

Biting her tongue she decided to try and be mature about this or at least
until they were back at the car where she could shout at Katie all she
wanted for what she was saying.

"You're right let's not get a puppy" Ally mumbled as she began to walk
again. Katie's face scrunched with confusion as she followed her wife down
the street.

Was Ally really just letting this go. Katie glanced around the street
expecting to be confronted by hidden cameras because there was no way
did Alison Thomas just let things go especially when she was so passionate
about something.

"Besides babe they are troublesome..they wee everywhere and need

constant attention...I work most days and you do shift work...it would
never..."

"Katie I said you are right just drop it" Ally warned not even daring to look
at her wife she felt angry and hurt.

They walked in silence side by side back to the car as Katie felt guilty, was
she being too controlling.

Their marriage was perfect the way it was. They went to work together,
came home and spent whatever free time they could together.
They didn't need a puppy, honestly Katie didn't like the idea of sharing
Ally's attention. She knew she was being selfish but she wanted Ally to
herself.

Obviously she couldn't compare herself to a dog but it was truth, Ally
fussing over a four legged mut when she could be fussing over Katie
instead.

"Baby" Katie said as Ally unlocked her car walking around to the drivers
side.

"Don't baby me" Ally warned calmly as she climbed into the car as Katie
rolled her eyes getting into the passenger seat.

"It's just a dog Al...you know it won't work with our work schedule and..."

"So does this mean you don't want any commitment with me" Ally asked
curiously as Katie looked at her confused.

"Babe we are married" Katie laughed but judging by her wife's face. Katie
might as well be digging herself a hole...

"Yeh but that's just two rings and a piece of paper...a dog is a big
commitment...a dog leads to responsibilities and then babies...do you not
want kids with me...is that what this is about" Ally snapped as she thought
about what she was saying.

"You don't want kids with me that's it" Ally said as she started the ignition
causing Katie to slap her own face in frustration. Dear god this hole was
getting deeper and deeper...

"You want me to cook you something" Katie asked as she emerged from
their room.

Ally was sulking on the sofa as she flicked through the channels on the telly.
She was frustrated.
Frustrated at Katie and at herself. Did she really want a stupid puppy.
Katie was right the novelty would wear off after a few weeks and then the
poor thing would be left hours on end alone because her and Katie had to
work.

She still felt annoyed at Katie though, not that she was sure herself about
having kids..she was only 25 and honestly she needed to used to being
someone's wife first before even thinking about kids but what if she wanted
kids and Katie didn't.

What would happen in 10 years time. She would never regret getting
married but they never really spoke about what one another wanted with
their future, they just fell in love and got married.

"No I'm not hungry" Ally mumbled as she threw the remote on the cushion
next to her.

Katie smirked as she approached her wife on the sofa. Climbing on top and
straddling Ally, Katie gripped Ally's resisting wrists as she connected their
fingers waiting for her wife's face to soften.

"Allyyyyy" Katie beckoned for her wife to look at her but Ally's sulky eyes
remained locked with the television.

"Alisooooooon" Katie teased as Ally huffed allowing her cold eyes to lock
with her wife's

"What" Ally snapped like a bold child.

"Stop being childish and talk to me" Katie said softly

"What's the point, I don't seem to have a say in this relationship so why
bother" Ally replied coldly as Katie frowned at her wife's words.

"Ally..this isn't just a relationship...we are married for god sake" Katie
snapped harshly

"We are in this for the long run..well at least I am anyway"

"And me" Ally interrupted.

"Well good but that means we have to talk about these things..work this out
together...so if you want a puppy we need to talk it out and I'm sorry I didn't
even let you have your say earlier" Katie said softly as her fingers traced
over Ally's wedding rings.

"I don't want a puppy" Ally sighed.

The more she thought about the less she wanted the puppy. The barking, the
wee, the poo and half eaten shoes. Katie was right.

"Are you sure" Katie asked raising an eye brow as Ally hardened face broke
into a smile she nodded.

"I know we kind of rushed into this whole marriage but I would never regret
it and I want what you want...a future..whether it involves dogs or babies..I
want what you want and if none of that is what you want then I don't care
because all I want is you...me and you to be happy and spend the rest of our
lives together...whether we are mothers or not..you'll always be soul mate
Al.." Katie said as Ally's eyes began to water.

"I want those in the future but right now..I just want you" Ally said as
Katie's thumb brushed over her cheek.

Katie smiled as she leaned forward capturing her wife's lips with her own.
Ally moaned against her lips and she quickly broke apart and shuffled them
both to their feet gripping her wife's hand as she pushed a squealing Ally
towards their bedroom...

***

Ally felt two warm arms snake around her waist as she smiled leaning back
against Katie's body. The Surgeon dropped a light kiss against Ally's
exposed shoulder.

"Did you get Shel's text" Ally asked tightening the towel around her bust as
she turned to face Katie who was dressed in her work clothes from
yesterday.

Katie nodded as she leaned forward taking Ally's lips in her own. Ally felt
nauseous, Katie had spent the night last night wrapped up in one another's
arms she should have been on cloud nine.

Getting out of the shower only 5 minutes ago while Katie was downstairs
with Sandra before work.

Ally checked her phone seeing a message from Shel, she felt sick as she
read it.

Pre wedding dinner tomorrow night with Shel...Rach..Tiff...Katie..and Jane.

Fucking Jane, how the hell was she going to survive a night with this lot.

"It'll be fine babe, I promise" Katie whispered against her lips as she gave
her another brief kiss and then gathering her stuff for work.

Ally nodded slowly as she watched Katie walked towards the bedroom door
and stopping to face the nurse.

"I'll see you tomorrow night" Katie smiled weakly as Ally nodded knowing
Katie was equally as nervous as Ally was about having to be around the
group especially when Jane was going to be there.

"See you then" Ally croaked as she watched Katie give her a quick wink
before leaving, tapping a quick response to Shel saying she couldn't wait.

Ally groaned as she collapsed on her bed wishing she could just disappear
until after the wedding..
 Chapter 32

"Slow down" Tiff snapped as she whipped Ally's empty glass from her
hand.

"I'm nervous" Ally grumbled gesturing to the bar man to pour her another
gin and tonic

"Why because your lady and her lady are going to be here...you better not
fuck her in the toilets like you did at my bar...it's so unlady like" Tiff
grumbled as she snatched the drink from the confused looking barman
before Ally could take it.

"Tiff" Ally snapped as Tiff quickly knocked back the drink.

"I don't want to be here...Do you know 6 months ago I couldn't wait to
come back here and see everyone and now..I can't even be around Rach
because I know she'll some how know I've been lying to her...I've already
avoided her and now I've to sit here over dinner especially with Jane going
to be here" Ally grumbled as she glanced around the restaurant nervously.

No one was here yet, she could easily just leave and head back to Sandra's.

"Listen drama queen, keep your mouth shut and your hands to yourself for
the night and Rach won't even know" Tiff replied as she ordered herself
another G&T.

"I'm gonna go, just slip out the back door before they come it'll be fine..I'll
call Rach on my way home" Ally said as she clutched her handbag over her
shoulder.

Ally turned as she began to walk towards the exit she felt a tight grip
around her arm.
"You are not fucking leaving me with this bunch of fannies" Tiff warned as
tugged the nurse back.

"Sit the fuck down and man up" Tiff snapped as she sat back on the bar
stool and handed Ally her own Gin and tonic nodding at the nervous
looking bar man to fix her another drink.

Ally glared at Tiff she had only known her a few weeks but she had never
seen Tiff lose her temper like this. Tiff was right, she needed to man up.

This was Rach and Shel's wedding celebration and here she was being a
selfish slut.

"You're right, thanks Tiff" Ally sighed as her hand rested on Tiff's thigh.

Tiff's face softened as she gave her a quick smile and reassuring nod.

"Well well glad to see you two are enjoying yourselves" Shel beamed
beside them causing Ally to jump.

She glanced over Shel's shoulder where Jane was dragging Katie behind her
towards the toilets as Rach spoke with the waiter.

Ally rolled her eyes as Katie glanced briefly in her direction clearly about to
be warned to stay away from her ex wife for the evening.

"Good to see you babe" Shel said as she gave Ally a quick hug and then the
same to Tiff.

"Sorry I haven't been around, I've just been busy with Sandra and that" Ally
excused herself as Tiff scoffed a little too loudly knowing exactly what Ally
was up to the last couple of weeks.

Ally glared briefly at Tiff as did Shel before gripping Ally's hand and
encouraging her to follow her towards Rach and their table.

"Shut the fuck up" Ally grumbled under breath at a smirking Tiff who
followed swiftly behind.
"You shut the fuck up" Tiff teased pushing her as she leaned forward
whispering slut into Ally's ear and laughing quietly to herself.

"Well well stranger" Rach greeted her best friend with a hug as Ally smiled
wrapping her arms around Rach.

"How is Sandra" Rach asked concerned as Ally felt guilty..guilty she was
lying to her friend about Katie and guilty that she was letting Katie distract
her from Sandra.

Of course she was doing what she could for Sandra and staying with her but
she knew things were getting worse.

Sandra was awake most of the night last night but refused to let Ally do a
thing for her accept draw her up some extra morphine. She felt helpless. A
nurse yet she couldn't do anything to help her because Sandra was too
stubborn to let her.

The truth was Ally was scared, she was petrified of losing Sandra and
Sandra knew it. She didn't want Ally getting too close to her.

Sandra had forced her to come out tonight saying she needed to go have
fun, hell having Katie around was her idea of fun not this, about to sit down
at an awkward table for the next 2 hours.

"She is ok" Ally smiled weakly not wanting to get into it.

"I'm sorry I've not been around much lately" she added as Rach pushed her
playfully.

"Don't be silly...anyway we could do with a catch up soon..I think we need

to talk about things" Rach replied as they sat down.

"Not here..we will talk soon ok" she whispered as Ally nodded and took her
allocated seat.

A few minutes later and Jane was dragging Katie by the arm towards them.
Ally felt sick, she was nervous about being around Rach and Jane...about
Katie.
Glancing up at Katie in her black one shoulder dress she looked beautiful
standing there nervously next to Jane who immediately started blabbering
on about something to Shel.

"You ok babe" Rach asked Ally who snapped her head back to face her
friend.

"Yeh of course" Ally smiled.

"Tiffany....Alison" Jane greeted the two of them as she sat right opposite
Ally.

"Hey Jane so lovely to see you again" Ally said as sincere as she could.

"Katie..you too" Ally smiled at Katie who looked at her nervously and gave
her a loving smile before Jane turned to look at her.

"Hey Al" Katie replied shyly.

"Katie it's been a couple of days...what have you been up" Tiff interjected as
worry washed over Katie's face.

Ally's face snapping around to glare at Tiff who grinned into her 4th drink.

"Katie's been in surgeries all week, what do you mean a couple of days"
Jane suddenly taking an interest in what Tiff had to say.

"Oh doesn't she know about the other night" Tiff asked as she looked
between Ally and Katie.

"Know what" Jane asked as she snapped her head around to look at Katie
and then back to look at Ally who looked nervous.

"Relax ice queen she dropped off Sandra's prescription...I was visiting my
woman" Tiff replied as her arm grasped Ally pulling her close.

"You two...ugh" Jane scoffed giving them a sickened looked as the colour
appeared back on Katie's face.
"How is that old lady anyway" Jane asked as Ally's jaw clenched.

"Her name is Sandra" Ally snapped.

"Let's order drinks" Katie stuttered nervously as she shot to her feet and
called the waiter over.

Ally glared at Jane who smirked at the nurse before placing her arm
protectively around Katie's hips as she stood at the table.

"Great idea" Rach added the awkward tension was felt by all. The waiter
came as everyone settled down.

Katie glanced at Ally who glared at her shaking her head, she knew this was
never going to be easy but Tiff acting the twat wasn't helping either.

Katie grabbed a piece of bread from the table as she began to butter it,
doing anything but looking across the table.

"What are we having baby" Tiff teased as she mimicked Jane's action and
draped her arm protectively around Ally's tense body as Ally eyes broke
contact with Katie who began choking on the bread shoved in her mouth.

"Katie" Jane snapped sitting back as she glared at Katie who was turning
red from the vigorous coughing as Tiff was giggling at her reaction.

"I'm fine" Katie coughed as Shel held onto her worryingly. Katie shot Tiff
an evil glare as Tiff continued to knock back her drink.

"Jesus christ" Ally mumbled to herself as she picked up the menu and
shuffled out of Tiff's grip.

"You ok" Rach whispered looking confused at her as Ally smiled and
nodded.

She was far from ok, she just wished the ground would just swallow her up
and they hadn't even ordered yet.

**
"This is exquisite" Jane moaned as she ate her food as Ally's face scrunched
in annoyance.

"Here baby you have to try" Jane said as she placed some soufflé on her
fork and bringing it to Katie's lips. Ally felt nauseous.

She had been sat here for an hour and a half. Rach and Shel practically dry
humping each other to her left.

Jane using any excuse to rub Ally's nose in it with Katie and then there was
Tiff to her right who was plastered after numerous drinks.

"No thanks" Katie mumbled moving her face away from Jane's fork.

"Come on baby just try some" Jane pushed

"I said no Jane" Katie snapped causing everyone to glare at her including
Ally who gave her a disapproving look.

"Alright then" Jane replied trying to hide her embarrassment as she ate the
spoon of desert.

Katie excused herself to the bathroom shortly afterwards as she sighed

gripping the sink.

This was horrible..torture..she hated being here..in public..pretending like

she was just Ally's ex wife when all the time she just wanted to kiss her and
tell her how amazing she looked tonight..show her off in this restaurant as
hers..no one else's..but no she was sat outside being mauled by Jane every
now and then she knew Jane was just trying to piss Ally off with her
affection at the table.

Then there was Tiff, she wanted to surgically remove every finger one by
one she had on her Ally. She knew Tiff was shit stirring between them but
they didn't need this drama before the wedding.

They needed the next week or so go smoothly, wave Shel and Rach off on
their honeymoon and then Katie could tell Jane it was over..she only wanted
Ally.
She knew she shouldn't have snapped at Jane..she never snapped at her but
sitting across from Ally, her Ally.

She felt angry and jealous, everything was building up and she hated how
Tiff could just whisper something in Ally's ear and make her laugh.

That used to be her that made Ally smile..made her eyes light up in a
horrible situation just like this one and now Katie just felt like a stranger.

She knew she was being insecure and jealous but she felt helpless sitting
there not being able to talk to Ally in case in looked suspicious..and what
could she say..oh hey Ally thanks for the fuck the other night and I love
you.

The bathroom door swung open as Katie sighed looking over. Ally stood
nervously biting her lip as their eyes connected.

They both had felt such anger and annoyance over dinner but now that was
forgotten about. They stared at one another as the tension between them
intensified.

Ally sprung from the door as Katie's body connected with her own. She
groaned as Katie's tongue brushed harshly against her own she allowed her
hands roughly tangle through Katie's waved hair.

"God I love you" Katie groaned gasping for air before biting down on Ally's
lip as she teased her with her tongue.

"Tell Tiff" Katie whispered as Ally moaned loving the feel of Katie's tongue
between her teeth as she was being teased

"To keep her fucking hands off you" Katie warned biting on Ally's lip as
Ally yelped as she groaned deepening the kiss.

"We should stop" She moaned as she pushed Katie back against the wall
allowing her fingers to descend over Katie's dress.

Allowing her hand to slip under Katie's dress and between her thighs. The
surgeon moaned into Ally's mouth as Ally allowed her fingers to brush over
Katie's damp underwear.

"Baby don't start what you can't finish" Katie moaned as Ally's finger tip
brushed passed her soaked material.

"I want to taste you" Ally whispered as they both gasped for air. As much as
she wanted this she knew that their was a restaurant full of people outside
and Jane had already giving her an eye full when she excused herself to the
bathroom.

Removing her hand from beneath Katie's dress she brought her hand
between them. Dipping her fingers into her mouth Katie groaned as she
watched Ally's face satisfied as she tasted the surgeon off herself.

"So fucking good" Ally said as she backed away allowing a flustered Katie
head for the exit and she muttered curse words under her breath...

**

"Hey" Ally said softly as she brushed her hand over Sandra's hot forehead.

"You're burning up" she added concerned as Sandra's eyes tried to focus on
her.

"I'm fine..just a little cold" she shivered as Ally stood up and went to the
kitchen. Placing a cool cloth over Sandra's head, the older woman curse
under her breath weakly.

"Have you taken anything for the temperature" Ally asked looking around
the near by table but everything remained the same as earlier..she hadn't
even touched the beaker of water Ally had left for her before she left for
dinner.

"I'm finding it hard to swallow" Sandra confessed as Ally nodded.

Disappearing again this time upstairs she came back down a few minutes
later now dressed in more casual clothes as she put on a pair of gloves.

"What are you doing" Sandra asked as Ally poured some lub into her hand.
"On to your side" Ally ordered as Sandra's drowsy eyes widened.

"What" Sandra snapped.

"What are you doing with that lubricant" she asked a little too offensively.

"Don't worry Cassandra its a paracetamol suppository nothing else" Ally

teased as she dipped it into the lub.

"Now do as you are told and pull down your pants" Ally ordered as Sandra
pulled the covers further up her body protecting herself.

"I will most certainly not" Sandra huffed

"Listen...you either do it or I am ringing Katie and guess what, she's been a

lesbian even longer than me" Ally teased as Sandra scoffed back her shock.

They stayed for another moment while Ally stood stubborn waiting for
Sandra to give her the go ahead.

"Fine..but if you get some sort of thrill out of this I'm reporting you to the
nursing board" Sandra huffed slowly but surely going onto her left side.

"I like my women older but not that old" Ally teased as she approached her
old boss

"and besides..I'm not even working in England nothing they can do about it
now" Ally shot back as she counted to three and listened to Sandra curse her
name as it slipped inside.

**

Ally sat as she watched Sandra finally settling off to sleep. She had already
giving her two extra shots of morphine..the pain was getting worse and she
was becoming weaker and weaker.

Ally knew it was only a matter of time before Sandra would detoriate even
further and she dreaded the very thought of it..a knock on the front door
startled her as Sandra remained asleep.
Ally tiptoed her way out of the room and quietly made her way towards the
front door.

"Rach hey" Ally smiled as Rach stood at the door.

"What you doing here babe" Ally asked confused knowing it was well after
midnight by now.

Ally had left the restaurant on her own eager to get back to Sandra whilst
the others had agreed to go to Tiff's bar.

"Hey can I come in" Rach asked as Ally nodded and opened the door
allowing the blonde to walk into Sandra's house.

"Sandra's just drifted off..come on" Ally whispered brushing by her friend
and walking into the kitchen to flick on the kettle.

"What are you doing here" Ally asked casually as she leaned against the
counter waiting for the kettle to boil.

"I need to know something" Rach said as she sat down at the chair resting
her hands out in front of her.

"What babe" Ally asked

"How long have you been fucking Katie" Rach asked glaring at Ally who
gulped as she felt the blood drain from her face....shit....
 Chapter 33

Hey sorry it's been a while. I've just been busy but I promise by next
week I will have more time to finish this story up!Thanks for reading
xx

"What" Ally laughed Rach's stern look away, as she quickly turned her back
to face the kettle mouthing shit to herself.

Rach would know when was lying, she always knew...always.

"Alison" Rach snapped getting to her feet as Ally sighed slowly turning
around.

"Don't call me that" Ally muttered as she couldn't even look at Rach who
was now in front of her glaring at her.

Hearing her full name in that tone reminded her of being in trouble with her
mother or Katie and she wasn't about to admit it but she knew Rach wasn't
going to let her off the hook that easy.

"What do you want me to call you...a home wrecker...a liar" Rach snapped
as Ally hushed her not wanting Sandra to wake up.

"So come on..out with it..tell me I'm wrong" Rach pushed as she paced a
few steps in front of Ally and back again.

Ally knew she could try her hardest and lie through her teeth but she knew
herself she was a bad liar and what was the point.

She should have told Rach but she couldn't, she couldn't bring herself to
telling her best friend that she was seeing Katie behind one of Shel's best
friends back.

"Who told you" Ally asked timidly as Rach stopped in her tracks their eyes
connecting Ally felt nervous as she could see the fury in Rach's eyes.

"No one..I could practically smell the sex off Katie this evening when she
came out of that toilet...I seen the way she looked at you..it wasn't like an ex
wife was suppose to look at their ex spouse...she was looking at you the
very same way when she walked back into your life 3 years ago...Don't bull
shit me anymore Ally" Rach snapped as she pointed her warning finger at
her friend.

"Sit down and tell me the truth NOW" she snapped as Ally shifted
uncomfortably and done what she was told.

She chewed the inside of her cheek just thinking back on the past few
weeks. She should feel guilty but she didn't, sh felt her body react to images
of how Katie had made her feel over the past couple of weeks.

The kissing, touching..god the touching but most of all..the love, she loved
Katie..more now than she ever did and maybe they were going about it the
wrong way but she couldn't help how she felt.

"When did it start" Rach sighed as she sat down opposite her friend. She
appeared slightly more calm as Ally began playing with her fingers
nervously.

"Rach we don't really need to do this..I"

"When" Rach snapped causing Ally's body to jerk to her voice.

"We kissed but.."

"When Ally" Rach snapped

"My party, in Ruby's that's when we first slept together" Ally mumbled as
Rach groaned raking her fingers through her short blonde hair as her elbows
rested on the table in front of her.
"Ally" she groaned.

"Why" Rach snapped looking up at her friend

"Why after all this time"

"Because..." Ally could feel her tears prickling her eyes

"I love her Rach..I've never stopped loving her" she sniffed.

"I tried convincing myself I could just come here and be apart of your
wedding and Katie would just be in the background but deep down..the
back of my mind I knew I wanted to see her..wanted to be with her because
I love her..I haven't stopped loving her since the first time I met her and
that's the god honest truth" Ally cried.

"So call me a slut or a home wrecker but I don't care Rach...I love her more
than anything and I don't care what anyone else thinks of me for doing what
I'm doing" she mumbled as she wiped away her streaming tears.

"Jesus Christ" Rach groaned as she stood up abruptly and stepped around
the kitchen table as Ally continued to sob.

Feeling Rach's arms wrapping around her best friend as Ally sobbed.

"What the hell are we going to do" Rach sighed causing Ally to snap her
body away from her friend.

"You can't say anything Rach" Ally snapped

"Not until after the wedding" she added as Rach's jaw stiffened.

"What do you mean after the wedding" Rach asked as her eyes glared at
Ally.

Ally shrugged her shoulders not really sure what her and Katie had planned
to do after telling Jane or even if she was going to be breathing after that
psycho found out but she knew she wanted to be with Katie more than
anything.
"Alison" Rach said sternly as she could see a million thoughts run through
the nurses head.

"Are you two...are you getting back together" Rach asked as Ally's eyes met
with hers.

"No way" Rach snapped getting to her feet.

"You are not getting back together..I won't have it Ally" Rach snapped
pointing her finger at Ally.

"You two break each other..I watched you when you first came here after
Africa..you were like a shattered moose for months and then when you left
for Australia I had to watch Katie being the same...no way...you are not
doing this to each other again" Rach snapped running her fingers through
her short thick blonde hair.

Ally knew now wasn't really the time to be smiling but she couldn't help
it...she knew Rach was only saying this because she cared..she couldn't bare
to see Ally upset now and now Katie had been a big part of Rach's life since
Ally's departure deep down she knew Rach didn't want to see either of her
friends hurting like before.

"Babe I appreciate you being worried that our past isn't squeaky clean but I
love her Rach...like really fucking mean it this time..I can't keep punishing
myself for what I done in Africa because I learnt it's only punishing her
too...I'm done running away...I want to be with her for the rest of my life
Rach" Ally said softly as she meant every word.

Rach smiled as she looked at Ally with such pride. Ally had never admitted
she ran away to Australia or that she was running away from happiness with
Katie before and now here Ally was 30 year old woman finally being true to
herself.

Rach couldn't fault her in anyway despite the circumstances with Ally's life
on the other side of the world and Katie settled here and then there was
Jane...Fuck Jane...
"Babe Jane will freak...like proper go kill bill on your arse when she finds
out" Rach said as she warned her friend who stood from her chair to grab a
bottle of wine and two glasses after that little confrontation.

"I know" Ally sighed

"Katie said she will tell her after you wedding..We are not ruining this for
you and Shel..I promise" Ally added as she poured two glasses of red wine.

"That means I have to keep this for another week" Rach panicked at the
thought of keeping her mouth shut as Ally rolled her eyes.

Handing a pale Rach her glass of wine as she gulped it back Ally took a sip
and pointed her glass towards her best friend.

"Not a word to anyone...especially Shel" Ally warned as Rach's eyes

widened with horror.

"Rachel I mean it..don't fucking say a word unless you want me in a coma
for your wedding" Ally snapped taking another sip.

Rach nodded as she watched Ally sit back down at the table...panic raced
through Rach...she was a terrible liar and Shel knew it but if Shel knew
about it of course she would tell Jane..unless Rach swore her to secrecy.

"Rach sit" Ally smiled as Rach gulped back her nerves..hoping to god she
could survive the next week without opening her mouth to her soon to be
wife.

**

Ally knelt next to Sandra as she finally appeared to have settled. Rach had
left after midnight and Ally had managed to sleep a couple of hours before
Sandra began groaning in pain.

Ally had spent the whole night renewing the cool damp cloth on Sandra's
forehead and injecting her with morphine regularly. Sandra was
deteriorating rapidly and it seemed the tumours were causing a lot more
pain than Sandra was saying.
Sandra wasn't making it to the commode anymore as she was weak and
dreaded the thought of Ally having to change her. Never in a million years
would she have thought 4 years ago that Alison Harris.

The 17 year old trapped in a 26 year old body who came to work in the
mornings stinking of a brewery and a stinking attitude just as bad..but when
it came to her job.

Ally was professional..loving and caring and despite Sandra being

embarrassed now she wasn't able to go to the bathroom herself.

Ally didn't look at her old stubborn boss or another patient, she looked at
Sandra as a friend in need of her help and Ally was certainly not going to let
her down.

Ally sighed as she looked up at the clock it was nearing half 9, she needed
to get Sandra's new morphine syringe pump ready.

Brushing back Sandra's scarf over her head she leaned forward placing a
light kiss on Sandra's clammy skin.

As she stood to make her way towards the kitchen she felt a tight grip
around her wrist causing her to squeak.

"Jesus" Ally mumbled as her eyes locked with Sandra's. Sandra ran her
tongue over her dry lips but it was useless her mouth dry and uncomfortable
as Ally reached behind her and gave her a swab from the cup of water as
Sandra began sucking out the excess water.

"Are you ok" Ally asked as she kneeled back to Sandra's eye level. A single
tear escaped Sandra's left eye as she fought to keep her emotions back as
she shook her head gently.

Ally hadn't seen Sandra like this, she removed to swab from her mouth as
she place it back in the cup and looked back at Sandra who
looked..defeated.
"It's time" Sandra croaked out as Ally felt her stomach churn, she knew
what Sandra meant but she wasn't giving in that easy.

"For what" Ally mumbled as her eyes locked with Sandra's...her eyes once
filled with authority and passion were now filled with sorrow and defeat..

"For this to end, let me go with whatever dignity I have left" Sandra said
and Ally gulped. Sandra was losing her battle and wasn't about to stick
around to be defeated.
 Chapter 34

"Hey babe I've missed you" Katie mumbled into Ally's highlighted locks as
she leaned back against her desk holding Ally softly in her arms.

Ally sighed as she wrapped her arms around Katie. She needed Katie to just
hold her, tell her everything was going to be ok, that Sandra was going to be
ok, that they were going to be ok but she knew that wasn't going to be the
case.

For months Ally pondered the idea of coming back to London for her best
friends wedding and finally thinking it was a good idea but now here she
was, her dear boss was giving up on the will to live another day in this cruel
world and Ally was having an affair with her ex wife.

She sighed as she brought her head back to face Katie..she could see the
love and worry in Katie's eyes...how could Ally have been so stupid to leave
in the first place..she loved Katie..more than anything else in this
world...years that they could have still been married..

"I'm so sorry for everything Katie" Ally spoke softly as her finger tip now
traced over the furrowed lines on Katie's forehead as she looked at the nurse
in confusion.

"Sorry about what babe" Katie asked as she brought Ally between her legs
holding her hips in place as Ally's saddened eyes looked into hers.

"For everything..ruining our marriage...running away to the other side of

the world when I should have fought for us...I should have learnt to forgive
myself and not run away...I could have been here for you..for Sandra when
she was sick.."
"Hey stop" Katie snapped as she brought Ally as close as she could.

"You needed to go, you needed to sort whatever demons you had locked up
inside you...my love for you has never changed Alison..well maybe I love
you that little bit more because I lost you but you came back and I
appreciate your sexy body that much more now" Katie smirked as her eyes
glanced down Ally's body.

"My point is I love you Al...you're back where you belong and you've been
amazing being there for Sandra these past few weeks so stop being so hard
on yourself ok" Katie said as Ally's face softened.

Ally knew she was feeling somewhat vulnerable these past few weeks but
Katie was her rock. She couldn't bare to think of losing her again.

"I love you too" Ally sniffed as Katie brushed her thumb over Ally's damp
cheek as she leaned forward taking Ally's lips against her own.

Ally's arms wrapped around Katie as she moaned feeling Katie's tongue
brush forcefully against her own. She needed this, needed release from
everything.

Gliding her hands down Katie's scrubs she lifted the hem of Katie's top
swiftly over her head causing their lips to briefly break a part but in one
swift move Katie had the nurse spun around on her desk as she attacked
Ally's lips hungrily removing her own scrub pants first before reaching for
Ally's leggings.

"God I want you to fuck me so badly" Ally moaned lying back against the
papers on Katie's desk as Katie began to strip Ally's clothing one by one and
discarding them onto the floor.

Ally's body jerked forward as she felt Katie's tongue against her navel
piercing, she loved the feeling of Katie's tongue anywhere on her body but
since she came back to London and Katie had found out about Ally's new
piercing she knew Katie couldn't get enough of it which turned Ally on even
more.
Katie smiled against Ally's hip bone as she nibbled against the skin lightly
listening to Ally groan knowing full well Ally was beyond turned on, this
wasn't going to take much for Ally to be screaming out her name while she
fucked her.

Katie slid Ally's underwear swiftly down her thighs as she threw the thin
material to the floor, pulling Ally's upper body to connect with her own.

"What are you doing" Ally moaned breathlessly as she gripped onto Katie's
shoulders for support.

"I want you to keep your eyes on me while I fuck you" Katie whispered as
her fingers traced lightly along the inside of Ally's thigh.

Ally crashed their lips together as they moaned against each others tongue,
this certainly was taking her mind off everything.

She needed this, knowing any surgeon or nurse could walk into Katie's
office at any time was even more of a turn on.

Ally could feel Katie's thumb brushing against her aching clit, teasing
her..she couldn't..not today she couldn't bare the idea of Katie teasing her
with foreplay..she needed her inside of her now..

"Baby please" Ally moaned against Katie's lips pushing her body further
into Katie's touch but Katie quickly removed her hand from between Ally's
legs.

"Not until you open your eyes and keep them open" Katie snapped.

Ohhh kinky Ally thought as she struggled to keep her lazy eyes open but for
the sake of being touched by Katie she needed to focus and keep her eyes
open.

"Good girl" Katie whispered as her thumb traced over Ally's thigh dripping
with Ally's wetness Ally gulped as her eyes focused on Katie's.

Katie placed a long hard kiss against Ally's lips before pushing two fingers
inside of Ally..she knew how turned on Ally was, her brown eyes pleading
with her to put her out of her misery.

"Oh god" Ally moaned as she subconsciously went to close her eyes but as
she felt Katie beginning to remove her fingers.

Ally quickly snapped her eyes back open as she focused on Katie.

Katie smirked as she leaned further into Ally, pushing in and out as Ally's
muscles clenched around her with pleasure.

God she could do this everyday for the rest of her life and die a happy
woman.

Ally moaned as she found herself struggling to keep control, she bit down
hard on her lip as she watched Katie's eyes burn into hers while she fucked
her.

This wasn't about showing how much they loved each other, this was about
desire. Katie showing Ally how much she wanted her, wanted her to watch
her fuck her and Katie made sure Ally was doing just that.

"Katie" Ally panted trying to keep her voice down but she could feel her
pleasure building up as Katie worked at a fast pace.

Katie smirked as she watched Ally's cheeks flush, her eyes struggling not to
roll at the back of her head..she had to give it to Ally.

She was hanging in there for dear life..slowly her pace..Ally glared at
her...watching her every move while Katie's thumb brushed over her clit
again.

"I was so close..why did you stoop" Ally breath out as she struggled to keep
her composure.

Katie smiled as she leaned forward placing a quick kiss against Ally's
forehead.

"I wasn't ready to let you come but I am now" Katie whispered as her
fingers pushed into Ally once again causing Ally to moan out in pain.
Ally locked her arms around Katie as her body grinding against Katie's fast
movements, her body already beginning to react her eyes darkened as they
remained focused on Katie's.

Locking their foreheads against each other, Katie pushed through the
cramping in her arm as her free hand gripped Ally's neck bringing their lips
together.

She could feel Ally's muscles contract around her as Ally began to moan
louder and louder against her tongue as she battled for dominance.

"Katie...Katie please" Ally moaned as her body began to jerk with the
pleasure as Katie continued to fuck her as fast as she could.

"Let go Al" Katie whispered as Ally gave one finally moan out feeling
herself reaching her climax..she couldn't do it anymore, her eyes clamped
shut as her body shuddered against Katie's touch.

Fucking hell this was so intense Ally thought as she rode out her orgasm
feeling Katie's soft lips against her neck.

"I love you so much" Ally breathed out as she released her grip on Katie
and allowed her body to lie back against Katie's desk.

Katie laughed as she climbed over the nurse straddling her. Ally bit her lip
as she reached up brushing Katie's messy brown strands behind her ear.

"So fucking much" she whispered as Katie smiled clasping their hands
together.

"I love you too Harris" Katie replied as she leaned down placing her lips
against Ally's.

***

Ally sighed as she shut the door to Sandra's house, she looked down at the
pharmacy bag in her hand.
This afternoon was exactly what she needed, her time..her and Katie
time...she needed to get away from herefor a couple of hours and Katie
certainly had made it worth her while. Hearing voices from the sitting room
Ally frowned as she quickly opened the door.

"Alison" Sandra smiled weakly as she remained weak on the sofa with a
man sat next to her.

"This is Father John...Father this is Alison...she's a nurse...a friend" Sandra

smiled as the priest stood to shake Ally's hand.

"Nice to meet you" Ally smiled shaking his hand...god if this man knew
what she was only up to with a girl a little over an hour again she was sure
he would not be shaking her hand. It made her smile even more.

"I'll leave you two to chat for a while..I'll get your morphine pump ready"
Ally smiled at Sandra before leaving the pair to it.

20 minutes later she listened as the front door shut she made her way into
Sandra as she held the new syringe in her hand.

"Well Cassandra I didn't put you down as a god lover" Ally said dryly as
she sat down on the chair where the priest had only vacated.

"I'm not really but I needed a few things off my chest" Sandra replied as
Ally looked at her.

"How you feeling" Ally asked.

"Like I'm still going to die" Sandra replied sarcastically as Ally rolled her
eyes..opening the lock of the morphine pump.

"Did you think anymore about what I asked of you last night Alison"
Sandra said as Ally felt her jaw clenched deciding to ignore her as she
focused on changing the pump.

"Ally" Sandra snapped as she reached for Ally's hand and taking it in her
own.
Ally's eyes shut momentarily...she wished she could just block it out and
say no but every time she looked at Sandra she could see the pain she was
going through.

She needed Ally's help but Ally wasn't sure she was the person who could
help her with this...not this time..

"Sandra I can't..you can't ask me to do this..Please..I don't want you to die"

Ally begged as she could feel her eyes begin to water.

"Alison" Sandra spoke softly as she gripped tightly onto Ally's hand.

"I know this is hard for you...coming back to your friends wedding and
having to put up with me and I could never thank you enough for all you
have done for me..honestly Alison you are a true friend but it's time for me
to go..I don't want to be lying here unconscious and we both know it will
happen sooner rather than later...please just let me die..help me do this one
last thing while I have whatever dignity I have left" Sandra sniffed as she
brought their connected hands to her dry lips she placed a gentle kiss on
Ally's hand.

Was Ally really prepared to walk out of this room and prepare a lethal dose
of morphine to inject Sandra with and just watch her die.

She wanted to do right by Sandra..a friend in need of her..but what Sandra

was asking of her. Was it too much for the nurse to handle...
 Chapter 35

"Ally yaaay you are here, Rach wasnt too sure if you could make it
with..well...How is she" Shel asked sympathetically as she gripped Ally's
elbow tightly.

Typical Shel she always cared about others and was a good friend, Rach
was a lucky girl that Shel was willing to put up with her for the rest of her
life.

"She's..well..you know" Ally frowned.

Sandra had begged Ally since she got back from Katie's office this
afternoon to end her life.

Just plain and simple inject her with enough morphine until it sent into a
coma and her organs one by one would shut down and finally her heart.

Ally was grateful when she checked her phone forgetting that tonight was
the dress rehearsal for the wedding despite the fact Ally knew Jane was
going to be here she needed out of the house.

Time to think was she willing to give Sandra what she wanted...a free pass
to death while Ally had to live with the consequences...

"Ally....Ally...." Rach shook her friends as Ally gasped shaking her thoughts
away.

"You ok babes" Rach asked concerned as she glared at Ally.

"Yeh sorry...I was miles away" Ally smiled and she coughed looking
towards the kitchen of her old flat as she heard Jane's irritating laugh. Ugh
maybe this wasn't where she wanted to be after all...
"Come on in..the girls are all in their dresses" Rach smiled as she tugged
her friend by the elbow. Making her way into the kitchen the girls all
whipped their heads around to greet her.

"Hi Alison" Jane smiled as she gripped onto Katie who gave Ally a loving
smile.

"Come on babe your turn to show us how hot you look" Shel smiled as she
took Ally by the hand and led her out towards her old room.

Ally needed to keep it together but she couldn't...she couldn't do this...an

evening with snotty remarks from Jane and small talk about the latest
bimbo on the runway..a drink is what Ally needed..

Ally sighed as she plonked down on the bed holding the purple dress...she
needed to suck it up and be happy tonight..this was Rach and Shel's big day
in a week.

She needed to be a good friend and leave whatever else was going at the
door. She heard the front door opening again followed by muffling voices
as she stood up and began to get undressed..standing in her underwear the
bedroom door burst open.

"Oh hello there sexy" Tiff's eyes widened as they circulated around Ally's
body..

Ally looked over Tiff's shoulder seeing Rach roll her eyes along with Jane
giggling and Katie stood uncomfortably as they were heading for the sofa.

"Shut the door Tiff" Ally shouted covering her bra and knickers not that it
was much help. Tiff laughed as she gripped the door and shut it from the
inside.

"Do you mind" Ally snapped reaching for the dress as Tiff shook her head

"Not at all...not at all" she smirked her eyes perving over Ally.

Ally couldn't help but let out a short laugh despite everything she was glad
Tiff was here.
"Here let me help" Tiff said as she took half of the dress allowing Ally to
slip it over her head.

"Thanks" Ally mumbled.

"I haven't heard from you in a couple of days..how have you been" Tiff
asked as Ally suddenly felt herself tear up.

"Heeeeey" Tiff hushed as Ally was full blown in tears now.

Tiff gripped Ally in her arms as she sat them on the edge of the bed..

"What's going on baby girl...let it out" Tiff sighed as she rubbed a sobbing
Ally's shoulder.

**

"What took you so long...oh wow Ally you look stunning" Shel gasped as
Ally gave a nervous smile as she stepped out of her old room in her
bridesmaid dress.

"Looking sexy Harris" Rach blurted which earned her a smack from Shel as
they began to laugh.

"Exactly what I said" Tiff agreed giving Ally's bum a light pinch as she
picked up the bottles she brought from the bar.

"Who's for some champagne" Tiff asked as she held the bottles in her hand
and made her way to the kitchen.

"I'll help with the glasses" Katie mumbled standing up and following Tiff
swiftly into the kitchen.

"What the fuck are you playing at" Katie snapped in a low harsh tone as she
made sure everyone else was still fussing over the dresses.

"I don't know what you mean Doc" Tiff teased searching the cupboards for
some wine glasses.
"You know Ally is with me..so stop that shit with her" Katie snapped
harshly as she folded her arms.

Her blood was boiling, she groaned inwardly as soon as Rach opened the
door and in walked Tiff with a box full of booze.

Katie wanted to grab Tiff by the hair when she watched the older woman
walk towards Ally's old room as soon as Tiff found out where Ally was.

She was jealous, jealous that Tiff could just walk in on Ally whenever she
wanted and it seemed normally. There was no way she herself could just get
up from the sofa and walk into the room.

Give Ally a kiss and tell her how much she missed her even if it was only 5
hours since she last seen Ally. Tiff was doing this on purpose, the flirting
and bum pinching it was everything Katie couldn't do in front of the other
women.

One more week and Katie would be free. She couldn't wait to bring Ally on
a holiday away from here. 2 weeks of just the two of them..somewhere
sunny and hot where she could perve on Ally all day in a bikini, the next
week was going to be torture and Tiff was making sure of it.

"Oh calm your tits Yank...Ally was upset so I was just being there for her
since you are too busy behaving yourself in front of Cruella deville out
there" Tiff whispered back as she counted the glasses.

"Upset" Katie frowned.

Ally had been in a great mood this afternoon in her office...more than great,
why was she upset now.

"What do you mean upset" Katie asked as Tiff ignored her as she began to
pour the champagne into glasses.

"Tiff fuck sake answer me" Katie snapped as she yanked the bottle from the
older woman's hand.

Tiff sighed as she played nervously with one of the wine glasses.
Ally had broken down, she looked so fragile in that room while Tiff tried
her hardest to be there for her but how was Tiff to know what to do.

Ally was put in a shitty position by Sandra, fuck Tiff was heartless at the
best of times but if one of her mates asked her to overdose them. Tiff was
sure she wouldn't have the balls to.

Katie clearly didn't have a fucking clue what was going on and Tiff wasn't
about to land Ally into it...telling a doctor about this was the last thing Ally
needed even if it was her ex wife.

"Look it's not my place to say...Ally needs you right now Katie" Tiff said
honestly as she looked into the surgeon's worried eyes.

"I know we don't see eye to eye but we both want what's best for that fragile
girl out there...so I'm telling you...she needs you to just be there for her" Tiff
said as she picked up the filled glasses and left a confused Katie stood in the
kitchen.

Katie carried the last of the glasses as she soon followed Tiff out handing a
nervous looking Tiff and Ally the remaining glasses as Ally gave her a weak
smile.

Katie knew Ally had been crying, she hated seen those brown eyes in
pain..she wished she could just make it all go away.

"Can we talk for a minute" Katie whispered to Ally as Ally nervously

glanced over to Jane who was deep in conversation with Shel and Shel's
sister.

"Go on I've got you covered just hurry up" Tiff grumbled as she took the
bottle from Katie's hand and began to distract the others as Ally and Katie
quietly made their way back into the kitchen.

"Al are you ok" Katie asked concerned as she placed her hands on Ally's
hips.
Ally's tears began to fall as she wrapped her arms around Katie...what was
she going to do...she needed to make her mind up soon..could she tell Katie
what Sandra wanted her to do.

Katie was still technically her consultant..if she knew about it she could go
to the police or anything.

"Baby tell me what's wrong..I want to help you" Katie whispered as she
began to wipe Ally's tears away begging for the nurse to open up to her.

Ally's eyes locked with Katie's, she could see the worry in Katie's eyes. She
couldn't dump this on Katie.

Katie had enough stress to deal with, with work and telling Jane the truth
next week..she didn't need this too.

Ally had to make her own mind up about this. Sandra was strict in her
instructions for Katie her bloody doctor not to know anything about this.

"Nothing..I'm just a little teary is all" Ally sniffed as she braved a smile.
Katie gave her a confused look before giving her a smile and taking her lips
against her own for a short kiss.

"You look beautiful by the way" Katie smiled causing Ally's smile to widen
further..it really was for the best that Katie didn't know what Ally was up to
at least until she figured out what she was going to do.

**

Ally shut the front door quietly, she had just endured an awkward drive
back to Sandra's.

Jane insisting that Katie drove Ally home on their way back to Katie's. Ally
tried her hardest to say she would be fine in a taxi but Jane was having none
of it.

Making sure she held onto Katie as much as she could in the passenger seat
with her small talk about fashion week.
Ally sighed in the back seat and she stared out the window, occasionally
glancing at the drivers mirror Katie's eyes were staring back as she focused
on the road every now and then.

Ally had managed to keep it together for the remainder of the night. She
gave Katie a weak smile through the mirror as they pulled up in front of
Sandra's house mumbled her good byes and quickly made her way into
Sandra's house.

"Alison is that you" Sandra's hoarse voice echoed out as Ally took a deep
breath and made her way into the sitting room. The room was filled with
darkness as Ally went to put the small lamp on nearby.

"How was your night" Sandra questioned as Ally stared at her clammy skin,
taking a seat next to the fragile woman she looked into Sandra's grey
eyes..this wasn't her boss anymore.

The Sandra Wilson she knew, this was a woman who had given up a long
time ago and needed her freedom.

Ally glanced around the darkened room..it was cruelty. Sandra lying here
day after day barely eating or drinking and having Ally having to clean up
after her because she was too weak to move., her skin was starting to
breaking down.

Sure the pain was being managed with the morphine Ally had been giving
Sandra but it could never take way the pain Sandra felt inside spending her
life looking after others.

Now here she was living a life she always feared of having. Ally could see
it clearly now...she needed to let Sandra go, let her make her own choice
now.

Sandra didn't chose to have cancer but she could at least choose when she
was going to die and not let the cancer beat her to it.

"I'll do it" Ally said as Sandra's eyes furrowed

"Alison" Sandra whispered as warmth began to fill her teary eyes

"Just give me tonight with you Sandra" Ally said as she wiped away her
own tears..gripping Sandra's hand in her own..she knew she was doing the
right thing.

**

Katie felt the sickness rise to her throat as she raced up the entrance of
Sandra's house.

Checking her voice mail as she left theatre a little under an hour ago, she
got here as quickly as should could.

Seeing the three missed calls from Ally's number and one voice mail she
felt her heart sink listening to Ally's low timid voice she asked Katie to get
her as soon as she could.

Katie panicked as she sat in the back of a taxi through lunch hour traffic
repeatedly trying to get in contact with Ally but there was no answer.

She had even rang Rach and Tiff on her way over but they hadn't heard
from Ally since last night.

"Al" Katie shouted up the stairs as she entered the quiet house, there was
nothing. She made her way into the sitting room.

Ally was knelt her head bowed down as her body shook with emotion as
Sandra's lifeless body lay in peace, Ally gripped onto rigid hand.

"Babe" Katie choked back her tears as she dropped her handbag and knelt
next to the sobbing nurse.

Ally's reddened eyes looked up into Katie's as she began to sob harder this
time as Katie wrapped her arms around her. As Katie held Ally into her
chest, her heart sank further as she noticed the numerous empty vials of
morphine...what the hell was going on...
So I know I keep saying it but it really is nearing the end of this book!I
do want to start something new so if anyone has an requests on a type
of book..do let me know I'd like to know what type of story you guys
would be interested in reading..so comment below or PM me!Thanks
for all your support :-D xxx
 Chapter 36

Hey guys so won't be able to update this until the weekend with work
but thank you for your idea's on a new story will think about them all
:)

Also a reminder that flashback is in Italiacs and I recommend you read

back on Chapter 17's flashback because this is kind of the continuation
of that flash back and the final flash back of Katie and Ally's marriage.
Thanks for readings :)

"Here" Katie said softly as she handed Ally a tumbler with whisky to which
her ex wife gladly accepted. Sipping out of her own glass she sat opposite
Ally who's eyes remained fixated on the brownish burning liquid at the
bottom of the glass.

Katie glanced over her shoulder down the hall way. Sandra's lifeless body
was in the next room...she was dead...Katie was used to death.

Well as much as any person in her field of work could ever be used to
someone dying. That's someone's child, mother, friend or lover she has to
break news to when she tried all she can do to save a person after a car
accident or freak accident or even in Sandra's case..cancer.

It never did get any easier but right now Katie felt numb, she could see the
hurt Ally was going through and maybe now wasn't the best time but she
needed answers.

She needed to know how Sandra passed away so suddenly and why when
Katie checked the morphine supply it was now all gone when she had only
given Ally a new prescription yesterday afternoon when Ally came to visit.
She could see Ally was grieving inside but there was something else going
on in her head..something much deeper and Katie needed to find out what
was going on.

"Al" Katie said but Ally eyes remained focused on her glass.

"Ally" Katie repeated impatiently as she reached for Ally's hand. Gripping
it tightly Ally's eyes slowly locked with hers as Ally knocked back the
remainder of the whiskey and releasing Katie's grip on her hand.

"I need to organise the funeral arrangements and let Sandra's brother know"
Ally croaked as she stood up wiping her stinging eyes. Katie gulped as she
watched Ally.

The last time she had seen Ally like this was when she asked her for a
divorce. Ally could never cope with guilt well, it tore her apart until she
would reach breaking point..She could see the exact same pain as that day
back in Africa.

**

"Katie" Ally cried as she banged on against their bedroom door. Tonight
has been the worst night of her life, she had drank far too much at the bar.

Her fight with Katie on the phone had made her so angry and stupid..she let
Lynne touch her against her car.

Ally was confused and hurt along with the drink she let Lynne touch her,
show her the attention she craved off Katie the past few weeks but she felt
sick.

Despite snapping at her on the phone, Katie still came to the old navy
bar...she came to pick her drunken wife up only to be met by her wife being
fucked against her car by no one other than Lynne.

The famous red head bitch Lynne. Katie climbed out of her car as she
watched Lynne looking very please with herself while a breathless Ally
pushed the other surgeon off her.
The look of pure horror on Ally's face when she glanced over to see Katie
stood watching them, Ally continuously apologised and made excuses as
Katie approached them...ignoring her wife's pleads.

Katie stood in front of Lynne. A woman who had it all..a blossoming career
in colorectal surgery, the flash car and big house...she crossed the line..she
fucked Katie's wife..one right hook and Lynne was bent over gripping her
bloody mouth as Ally's eyes widened in shock.

"Get in the car now" Katie snapped as she turned in her heels and headed
straight back to her car as a sobbing Ally followed.

"Babe please open the door" Ally sobbed as she wiped her tears in her
jacket. Katie demanded Ally not to say a word on the way back to their
house or Katie would stop on the side of the road and force Ally out of the
car.

Ally felt nauseous..how could she be so stupid to cheat on her

wife..Katie..her life..Using her anger and Katie was no excuse for what she
had done.

She wished she had never agreed to go to the bar tonight with the
others..she wasn't even attracted to Lynne..sure she was pretty but Katie
was all Ally had ever wanted and now she jeopardised her marriage on a
stupid mistake.

Katie pulled opened the door as she stepped over a sobbing brunette who
quickly stumbled to her feet as she followed her wife towards the kitchen.

"Baby..I'm so sorry" Ally cried as she approached her wife but Katie
shrugged out of her grip.

"Don't" Katie snapped shrugging away from the brunette.

"You sorry you fucked her against your car or the fact you got caught"
Katie asked as she kept her emotions intact.
She could cry right now and tell Ally 101 reasons how she just ruined her
life but she wasn't going to give it, she wasn't going to let Ally see how
much she fucking hurt her.

"How long has it been going on" Katie asked as she gripped the kitchen
counter as Ally continued to sob.

"I swear nothing is going on..I've never even touched her..I wouldn't do
that..you know"

"Ally don't...she had her fucking hands up your dress in a fucking car park"
Katie shouted as she raked her fingers through her hair.

"God I've been so stupid" Katie gritted through her teeth

"I should have listened to my mum when she told me not to rush into things
with you" Katie said as Ally shook her head wiping her tears away.

"Kate no...no you don't mean that...I love you..I only want you...Please
babe" Ally cried as she stepped towards her wife.

"It was a mistake...I was drunk and angry at you" Ally mumbled as Katie's
anger began to flare.

"So what you decided to fuck one of my co workers to get back at me" Katie
snapped

"No" Ally shot back

"Please Katie...let me make this up to you...why don't we go away for a

holiday..you've been stressed a work lately..it'll do us good" Ally sniffed as
she stepped further into her wife, clasping her hands either side of Katie's
stern face.

Katie's brushed against her wife's touch..she felt empty inside...she could
see the pain and regret in Ally's eyes...the two brown pleading eyes begging
her to hear her out.

Katie dragged a long ragged breath as she looked into her wife's eyes.
"I want a divorce" Katie said as her hands pushed Ally's fragile body to the
side. She could see Ally's life begin to shatter before her but truth was
Katie's heart had been ripped out and stomped on in that car park when
Lynne laid a finger on her wife.

**

"I'll return the unused drugs to the pharmacy and call the coroner" Katie
said as she watched Ally's body stiffen with her words.

Katie could read her ex wife like a book...she just needed Ally to confirm it
so she could believe it.

Ally turned her body to face Katie who stared up at her, she knew Katie
wasn't stupid.

"Al I need to ask you something ok and this isn't Surgeon to Nurse..this is
me asking the woman I love...did you do this" Katie asked calmly as fresh
tears began to surface in Ally's eyes.

"I...I...she asked me Katie...I didn't want to but she begged me..I" Ally
began to cry as she dropped to her knees.

"What have I done...Oh god" Ally cried as Katie shot to her feet and sat on
the floor taking a sobbing brunette in her arms.

**

"How is she" Rach asked as she gave Katie a hug and stepped into Sandra's
house as a quiet Tiff followed giving Katie a friendly nod.

"She's just out of the shower, she won't eat anything but I don't want to
force her" Katie replied as she shut the door.

"Is Sandra" Tiff mouthed as she pointed at the closed door that lead to the
sitting room.

"Funeral directors should be here soon" Katie replied as Tiff gave a short
nod before the three girls made their way into the kitchen.
"Shel and Jane are on their way" Rach said suspiciously as she looked at
Katie who let out a short sigh as she flicked on the kettle on.

Tiff gave a loud laugh as she looked how sweaty Katie became..Rach's eyes
furrowed as she watched Katie giving Tiff and a threatening glare as Tiff
quickly quietened down.

"You know" Rach gasped as Tiff and Katie looked at Rach confused

"About Ally and Katie" she added staring at Tiff.

"Wait what" Katie snapped

"You know too" Katie gasped looking at Rach who gave a dry laugh.

"Of course I know I can feel the sexual tension as soon as one of you steps
one foot into the room with the other..I already spoke with Ally..you have
until after the wedding I've told her that" Rach said as Katie felt her heart
race.

Ally never mentioned anything about Rach knowing about them.

Then again she never mentioned anything about helping Sandra end her life
either..what else was Ally keeping from her.

"My point exactly" Tiff agreed

"Worst secret lovers" she added earning another scowl from Katie to shut
her up. The three women sat in an awkward silence...now wasn't the time to
be talking about who was sleeping with who.

Sandra had just passed away and Ally needed to people who loved her
around her right now.

"It's so sad..I thought Sandra would at least hold out for a couple more
weeks" Rach sighed as she sipped her coffee.

"I wish Ally would have told me first..I could have talked to her" Tiff
blurted out as Rach and Katie both snapped their heads towards her.
"I mean..to Sandra...like said goodbye and been here for Ally" Tiff quickly
explained as Rach shrugged off her comment continuing to drink her coffee.

Katie's jaw clenched as she continued to glare at a nervous looking Tiff who
avoided eye contact.

"Hey Rach" Katie said softly keeping her eyes fixated on Tiff.

"Yeh babe" Rach replied looking up from her coffee.

"Would you mind just checking on Ally...I'm sure she'd be happy to know
you are here..she's upstairs first door on the right" Katie asked as she broke
her glare from Tiff giving Rach a quick smile as Rach agreed and left the
kitchen.

"You knew didn't you" Katie sighed as she held her head in her hands...this
day was getting worse and worse...

"Knew what" Tiff asked playing dumb but another threatening glare from
Katie she gulped.

"She broke down Katie..I didn't know what to do" Tiff spoke honestly

"I told her to talk to you but she wasn't thinking straight, she was scared and
wanted to do right by Sandra"

"If she was scared then why didn't she come to me...I'm the one she's
with..I'm the one she loves...I'm the one she should be telling, not you"
Katie snapped as she got to her feet.

"But you're not though are you" Tiff shot back

"You aren't with her..you aren't there to pick up the pieces when Jane rubs
her nose in it or when she needs someone to talk to at night" she added
finding the confidence to finally put Katie in her place.

"She was put in a shitty position by Sandra anyone could see that and quite
frankly the girls got balls if you ask me..I respect her for doing right by a
dying woman who needed Ally's help...you can't fault her on that...doctor or
not" Tiff said as Katie wiped away her falling tears.

Katie wished she was there for Ally..she could see how upset she was last
night at the dress rehearsal and in the car on the way home.

Ally was crying out for love and support and all Katie could do was sit back
in the car and drive her to the house where would help a friend end her life.

She must have been so scared...alone..she couldn't bare the idea of not
getting to spend another night away from Ally.

"Hey" Jane piped as she burst through the kitchen door as Katie quickly
wiped her eyes.

"What's going on" Jane asked as she looked between Katie and Tiff.

"Nothing" Tiff mumbled as Katie wiped her eyes dry mumbling she was
fine.

"Why are you crying...what did you say to her" Jane snapped at Tiff

"Oh stop I didn't say anything..a woman has just died in the next room of
course she bound to be upset..have some respect" Tiff huffed as she excused
herself.

"Whatever she said..if it's about me ignore her I'm pretty sure she's still
hung up on me" Jane laughed as she turned to look at her girlfriend.

"Like Tiff said..have some respect..I'm going to check on Ally" Katie

mumbled as she left the kitchen. Jane gritted her teeth as she slowly
followed Katie into the hallway and watched her climb the stairs.

Ever since Ally back she felt Katie slipping bit by bit away from her.

Jane knew what she was getting into with Katie..damaged goods but she
craved the lifestyle she could have being settled with a surgeon. but now
Katie wasn't even pretending to care about her anymore.
Jane seen the way Ally and Katie looked at each other..the not so secret
smiles and flirty looks..the abrupt change in their sex life going from
minimum to now zero physical contact, it made Jane's blood boil how much
of a mug it made her out to be and she has Alison Harris to thank for that.

She wasn't giving up with out a fight, no one could take what belonged to
her and she was going to figure out a way to make she got rid of Ally for
good this time....
 Chapter 37

Katie opened the bedroom door where Ally was staying in Sandra's house.
Rach was sat next to Ally who was slowly towel drying her highlighted
hair.

"I'm going to nip to the shops and get us food" Rach excused herself as she
gave Ally's arm a light squeeze as she exited the room giving Katie a quick
smile and leaving the pair alone.

"You ok babe" Katie asked as she stepped into the room hearing the front
door close she knew Jane and Tiff were most likely arguing about
something downstairs.

"I don't know what to do" Ally mumbled as she rubbed her swollen eyes.
She felt numb, she gave Sandra what she had wished for but instead of
feeling happy she done right by a dying woman.

She felt guilty and horrible for what she did only hours ago, she
remembered feeling nauseous as she drew up the lethal dose of morphine.

Syringe after syringe she placed them in the tray as she slowly made her
way into where a weak Sandra was praying to herself.

"Are you sure about this" Ally asked feeling like emptying the contents of
her stomach all over the floor.

Sandra gave her a weak smile and she nodded her head. They didn't
exchange much between them.

Ally told Sandra she loved her and respected her and Sandra's simple words
were be happy and stop running away from your past.
Ally thought about Sandra's last words and she sat back crying watching the
morphine take over Sandra's body, it was a peaceful death while Sandra
smiled until her very last breath only a few minutes later, leaving a sobbing
Ally gripping Sandra's warm hand as she checked for a pulse but that was it
Sandra was gone.

55 years old and her life was no more....free from this cruel world while
Ally had to live in it...as she sat crying she realised how precious life
was..how precious Katie was to her...she couldn't bare the thought of
anything ever happening to Katie...

"Look everything is sorted ok..you don't need to worry about anything now"
Katie said as she broke Ally from her painful flash back.

Ally's blood shot eyes connected with Katie's as Katie sat next to her and
gripped her hand in her own.

"Where's Jane" Ally asked

"Downstairs" Katie replied

"You should go be with her...I'm just going to wait for the funeral directors
to come and then I'm going to stay with Rach until the wedding" Ally
replied as Katie's grip tightened.

"I'm not going anywhere..I'm staying with you Al" Katie replied leaning
forward and placing a kiss on Ally's damp cheek.

"But she'll get suspicious, the last thing I want right now is Jane wanting to
kill me..let's just wait until after the wedding" Ally sighed as Katie shook
her head.

"I don't care if she get suspicious...she's going to find out sooner or
later..I'm staying with you babe no matter what" Katie said as she wrapped
her arm around Ally bringing her close as she held her.

Katie couldn't imagine what was going through Ally's head right now. Sure
she done something that could land her in prison but Katie wasn't going to
judge what Ally done.

She knew how close Ally and Sandra had become and honestly even though
she was a medical professional if someone she loved begged for a way out
she probably would consider it.

"Babe..I want you to know it's going to be...like about how Sandra died...no
one will ever know ok" Katie said as she pulled back allowing Ally to face
her.

"Sandra was dying and as far as the Coroner is concerned I've signed it off
that it was the progression of the cancer so there won't be any postmortem"
Katie said as fresh tears streamed Ally's cheeks.

"As for the pharmacy I'll figure something out about the morphine" Katie
said as Ally nodded slowly.

"She asked you to help her end her life and you did..you done right by her
as a friend..I'm not going to judge you on that" Katie replied simply. Ally
smiled as she leaned forward taking Katie's lips against her own.

Just when she thought she couldn't love Katie anymore this happens, she
loved how caring and level headed Katie was. Katie could judge her telling
Ally off for doing something illegal and fucking stupid but here she was
comforting Ally.

She didn't even care that her girlfriend was downstairs..Ally was her
number one priority and that made Ally's heart melt.

"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you Katie" Ally said as Katie
smiled and captured Ally's lips with her own.

Jane's jaw clenched as she stood in the hallway listening what was going
between her girlfriend and her girlfriends ex wife.

Of course Jane wasn't stupid, she knew that little whore had been sleeping
with Katie the past few weeks.
No way was Katie going to humiliate her after the stupid wedding. Jane was
not going to be dumped for some common whore who walked backed into
Katie's life.

She didn't understand it, what was so great about Alison Harris that she had
everybody fallen at her feet. Sure she was hot but how come after cheating
on Katie when they were married she was suddenly this magnificent nurse
who came back from Australia being everybody's best friend and looking
after her old hag of a boss.

As the anger flowed through Jane's veins as she listened to Katie moan
against Ally's lips in the bedroom a smirk appeared on Jane's face.

She knew things now about little miss perfect, she heard everything Katie
had said and Jane sure as hell was going to use it against Ally to make sure
Jane was keeping what belonged to her..Katie..

**

It was two days since Sandra had passed away. Two days of Ally crying and
organising a get together in memory of Sandra.

Sandra had been specific that she did not want a funeral, typical she didn't
want a big fuss over her but Ally wanted to have a gathering..friends and
old colleagues.

Sandra may not have realised it but she had touched a lot of hearts working
as a theatre nurse and then on to being one of toughest yet fairest bosses
around.

If you respected your work, then Sandra respected you. She deserved a
proper send off...a gathering of people who loved her.

Ally's phone buzzed as she glanced down seeing a text from Katie causing
her to smile. Making her way to the front door she pressed her buzzer and
glanced in the mirror fixing her hair..she knew she looked drained and a
mess but Katie had seen Ally in her all time lows through their marriage.
Ally smiled as she heard the quickened foot steps ascending the stairs
causing her heart to race. She bit her lip as Katie's bright blue eyes
connected with hers as Katie slowed down catching her breath.

Ally could never get sick of this sight even after 6 years of ups and downs,
Ally knew Katie Thomas was the only woman for her.

This was her life approaching her with an equal grin as wide as Ally's.
Neither of them said anything as Katie was now stood in front of Ally.

Reaching out she took Ally's hips between her hands as she leaned forward
and placing a sweet kiss on her lips.

There was no urgency in the kiss..Katie knew Ally was hers and that wasn't
going to change. In a weeks time they would be together again and
truthfully Katie wanted to tell Jane now it was over between them but Ally
insisted they needed to wait until after Shel and Rach's wedding to respect
their big day and have no drama.

"Are they in" Katie whispered keeping her arms wrapped around Ally as
she glanced into the empty flat.

"I paid for a hotel for them for the night..pre wedding present to calm
Rach's nerves..they will be back for Sandra's gathering tomorrow" Ally said
as she raked her fingers through her hair. Katie gripped Ally's hand as she
silently led her into the flat.

Ally allowed her head hit the pillow as Katie hovered over her, their eyes
locked as Katie's finger pressed into Ally's hips.

Raising her face to meet Katie's, Ally kissed the surgeon as she fell back
against the bed. Their hands roaming over each other clothed bodies.

They couldn't get enough of each other, it was like being married all over
again. Ally knew this was all she ever wanted the past few years..this is all
she craved.
She had been upset the past few days but when Katie was around she
changed things..changed how she felt. All Ally wanted to do was make
Katie happy, be the one to make her smile and make her feel things that
Jane or any other past lovers Katie had couldn't give her.

She wanted to give her world to Katie. Removing Katie's jacket as Katie's
lips remained on hers she pushed her arms out allowing Ally to drop it to
the floor.

"I can't get enough of you" Katie whispered breathlessly as she sat back on
her heels and began to unbuttoning Ally's jeans, popping each button as
Ally bit her own lip harder and harder.

As Katie removed the brunettes jeans, Ally pulled her own top over her
head leaving her upper body exposed as Katie threw the jeans and
underwear on the floor.

Straddling Ally's hips, Katie's eyes roamed over Ally's body, her fingers
tracing over Ally's erect nipples causing the nurses eyes to shut tightly as
she continued to bit her lip. Katie gazed at her ex wife..she was amazing.

Ally was still as beautiful as she was the first day Katie laid eyes on her in
the staff canteen in Africa, her heart only grew more fondly of her each time
they were together and right up to this point in their lives..this was it...from
this moment onwards Katie was never going to let anything come between
them ever again.

"I want to take you away after the wedding" Katie said quietly as she traced
her fingers up Ally's toned stomach and lightly over her neck.

"I want to make love to you every day for the rest of our lives" she added as
her fingers traced over Ally's eager lips.

"I want to marry you again" Katie said as her fingers descended Ally's
aching body as Ally's eyes shot open. Ally's eyes watched Katie as her
fingers traced below her belly button and gliding along her hip bone further
down resting between Ally's aching legs.
"I want our family and friends to be there..I want us to wear white dresses
and have a big wedding cake...I want to say my vows in front of your
family..my family...everybody we know" Katie continued as she brushed
her thumb over Ally's throbbing clit causing Ally to groan.

"I want to have a family with you..whether its a baby or dog..or both..I want
what you want because when you're happy, I'm happy" Katie continued as
Ally moaned at Katie's words. Katie yanked her own top over her head as
she broke contact from Ally's briefly stripping off her own clothes and
climbing back on top of a breathless Ally who gazed up at the surgeon.
Placing her hand between Ally's legs once again she didn't waste time as
she sunk deep into Ally who moaned out gripping Katie's neck.

"I want to do this every day..hear those sweet moans" Katie whispered as
she continued to move her fingers in and out Ally who remained speechless.

"I want to be the last thing you see at night and the first thing you see every
morning for the rest of our lives" Katie mumbled as she kissed Ally's
pulsating neck.

Ally's eyes struggled to remain open..this was too much..Katie's words, the
pleasure building up inside of her...

"I want to be the only one that gets to kiss these perfect tits" Katie said as
her tongue flickered over Ally's erect nipple causing her to groan as her
hand raked through her own hair.

Ally could feel herself about to come but it was too soon..she needed to
hear everything Katie was saying.

"I want to be the only person who gets to taste how fucking perfect you are"
Katie mumbled after releasing Ally's tender nipple.

Ally's eyes were clamped shut as she groaned feeling her body begin to
shudder against Katie's touch. Katie quickened her pace as she kissed her
way back to Ally's flushed face.
"Open your eyes" Katie demanded as Ally moaned feeling herself edging
towards her climax.

"Marry me Al...let me make you happy" Katie groaned trying to keep her
focus as Ally's body shuddered violently moaning out Katie's name. Katie
slowed her movement as she watched Ally's breathless body beneath
her..those brown eyes remained fixated on hers like Katie had ordered.

As Ally had suddenly come down from her high of one of the most intense
orgasm of her life she felt tears prick her eyes and she gazed into Katie's
loving eyes. Katie frowned as she began to brush away Ally's streaming
tears. This was Ally's second chance of happiness.

Katie was finally hers again..something she had convinced herself years ago
she had loss forever was now directly above her...this was it..

"Yes" Ally rasped out as she cleared her throat, Katie's confused face stared
down at her.

"Yes I'll marry you" she whispered as her fingers brushed Katie's darkened
hair back from her face. Now it was Katie's turn to cry as her tears began to
fall against Ally's skin.

"I love you so much" Ally whispered as she brushed against Katie's tears
and gripped the surgeon's face towards her..connecting their lips.

**

Ally stretched her arm across the empty space beside her..flicking her eyes
open...glancing at the clock it was past 8 as she noticed a folded piece of
paper next to her

Sorry I have surgery this morning. You were too beautiful to wake up. I
can't wait for you to be Mrs. Alison Thomas again. See you this
afternoon.

forever yours,

Katie xxx
Ally grinned as she held the paper next to her..her body ached from all the
sex last night, no way was she complaining...she felt on top of the world.

Katie had bared all to her last night...so they were engaged?whatever they
were Ally was excited, she knew with Sandra's memorial later this after it
wasn't going to be easy but knowing her and Katie were going to have a
future was going to help her get through it.

She knew Sandra would have been happy..she had always respected Katie
as both a surgeon and as Ally's wife, she had told Ally to follow her heart
and that's exactly what she was doing.

The thought of actually organising a big lavish wedding was actually

exciting..if Katie wanted it then Ally wasn't going to protest. She heard a
loud knock to the door as she frowned...no one had pressed the buzzer to
come in..throwing her a tshirt and trackies on she made her way to door as
she heard another loud knock. She sighed as she looked through the peep
hole and opened the door.

"Jane hi" Ally coughed awkwardly

"Rach and Shel aren't back until later.."

"Oh it's you I've come to see" Jane scoffed as she pushed the door open and
brushed past Ally. Ally gulped as she shut the door and followed the blonde
back into the flat..
 Chapter 38

"Look Jane I don't know why you are here but I'm really not in the mood
for.."

"Ally" Jane snapped as she turned around to face the brunette

"What" Ally replied.

"Sit down and shut the fuck up" Jane said simply as Ally's eyes furrowed
suddenly feeling angry.

Who was Jane to speak to her like this...

"Who the hell do you think you are" Ally snapped as her arms tightened
across her chest as she glared at Jane who smirked at her.

"Listen here Alison...I know you've been fucking my girlfriend and all
about Sandra..so I suggest you sit the fuck down and keep your trampy
mouth shut until I tell you to speak" Jane said calmly as Ally gulped and
slowly made her way to the sofa whilst Jane disappeared into the kitchen.

Ally knew she could try and run now or text Katie to get her arse over here
but what exactly did Jane know about Sandra..did she know everything and
how the fuck did she find out.

Ally knew she needed to stay calm..not show any signs of weakness
especially when it concerned Jane.

She sat patiently as she heard cupboards being opened and closed in the
kitchen.
She felt sick, knowing she was going to have to try and explain her and
Katie too...oh sorry I've been fucking my ex wife we never meant for it to
happen..that was bull shit..she didn't regret being with Katie..

"This will have to do" Jane sighed as she held two glasses and a bottle of
unopened vodka as she sat down opposite a nervous looking Ally. Jane gave
Ally the once over as she proceeded to pour to decent glasses of vodka.

"Looking a bit rough there Alison...late night?" Jane asked as she slid the
glass of liquid across the table in front of Ally. No mixer...or ice?Ally
thought as she tried to keep her cool.

"I'm sorry" Ally mumbled as she reached for her glass. Her eyes shot open
as Jane's loud laugh rung through her ears.

"Don't bull shit me" Jane laughed taking a large gulp from her glass and she
shuddered through the taste of the neat vodka.

"You aren't sorry...I know you aren't...I knew from the first time I laid eyes
on you at the airport you were going to fuck things up for me" Jane
continued as she reached down pouring more vodka into her glass.

"It took me a year to worm my way into Katie's heart....you really fucked
her up..I'll give you that" Jane said raising her glass to Ally and taking
another sip as Ally clenched her jaw.

"What do you want..money..how much" Ally snapped placing her own glass
down on the coffee table..the smell of vodka was making her sick at this
hour of the morning. Ally's words only caused her to laugh further and she
continued to polish off her drink.

"I don't want your stupid money..trust me sweetheart I make 3 times the
amount what you do in a year" Jane scoffed.

"Then what are you doing here...empty threats are a bit childish don't you
think" Ally snapped knowing Jane was trying to intimidate her as much as
she could.
"I want you to fuck off back to Australia and never come back" Jane said
keeping her voice nice and low as another smirk appeared across her face.

Ally shrugged her shoulders, she could do that..there was no reason her and
Katie needed to stick around here anymore after the wedding.

"Fine..We'll leave after the wedding and you won't have to see us ever
again" Ally replied casually as she sat back into the couch.

"No no sweetheart..there's no we in this...there is you disappearing out of

here...Katie stays here...with me" Jane replied as Ally's jaw clenched
snapping her body forward.

"Are you high" Ally laughed dryly

"She doesn't want you Jane...she's leaving you for christ's sake" Ally knew
she was being harsh but she was sick of Jane's little mind games.

"Listen up sweetheart..you're going to leave London and never come

back..you don't speak to Katie ever again..I mean it" Jane snapped finally
showing some sort of anger towards the brunette.

"Jane I don't know what delusional plan you've got going on in that blonde
head of yours but its not going to work..Katie doesn't love you...she loves
me" Ally replied as Jane's glass smashed firmly against the coffee table
causing Ally to jump.

"No" Jane shouted "No No No" she snapped

"She is staying here with me" she added as Ally gulped watching Jane pick
up the bottle of vodka and loosening the cap.

"If you don't do what I say then I'll just have to tell the police about your
involvement in that old bats death" Jane said calmly this time as Ally's
knuckles clenched hearing the way Jane was threatening her and speaking
of Sandra was filling Ally with rage.

"Tell them..I don't give a shit..so I'll never work again as a nurse...may end
up in prison but at least I'll have Katie..she'll stick by me no matter what
Jane..you can't think she wants to be with you anymore" Ally said
confidently as she stood up taking her half filled glass with her as she began
making her way towards the kitchen.

"If you don't go I'll report her too..her surgeon licence would be gone in a
flash" Jane said as she stood up and walked around to face Ally who was
now stood still.

"She let a unregistered nurse look after one of her patients..supplied her
with morphine...She didn't even question what happened to the supply she
had only prescribed the other day" Jane said as she reached into her pocket
and handed Ally the prescription sheet..the evil cow must have found it in
Sandra's house.

"She's fucked if you ask me" Jane said sarcastically as she stared at Ally
who felt nauseous.

Jane had her good..sure Ally would hate the thought of being reported to the
police and never working again but she would live with it...but this, Katie
losing her job..

The years of hard work just to be taking away over something Ally had
done.

Ally couldn't let that happen..there was no way it could happen. She
couldn't live with the guilt of taking Katie's life away.

"Why are you doing this" Ally whispered feeling numb.

"Because I can, because I'm not going to let you walk into my life and take
something that belongs to me...sure she was fucked up after you left her but
she's got a nice lifestyle and income...something a tart like you doesn't
deserve" Jane said as Ally sighed out her anger.

"You can stay for the wedding but after that you better be gone or I'm
reporting you both to the police..I mean it Alison" Jane threatened as Ally
shut her eyes momentarily.
Jane might as well of rip her heart out of her chest...15 minutes ago Ally
had her whole life ahead of her with Katie, getting married..starting a new
life together and now..now she had to leave in a number of days and leave
Katie behind.

"So have we got a deal" Jane asked as Ally's eyes flickered back open...she
had never met someone so evil and conniving.

Ally gave Jane a short nod as Jane smirked finally getting her threat across.

"Great" Jane chirped as she walked around Ally and back to the couch
where she picked up her hand bag.

"Oh" Jane said holding her hand up and Ally watched the blonde walk back
towards her

"I almost forgot" she said as her fist collided with Ally's mouth before she
could even react...followed by a blow across her upper ribs...

"That's for fucking my girlfriend" Jane smiled as Ally wiped the blood from
her burst lip

"Good luck explaining that one" Jane chirped as she turned around and
made her way out of the flat.

Ally sat on the ground as the blood dripped down her face....she was
screwed...

**

"Jesus what happened to you" Tiff sighed as she gripped Ally's jaw from
behind the bar..inspecting the large cut across Ally's swollen lower lip.

"I fell" Ally mumbled "whisky" she added as Tiff's eyes furrowed as she
released Ally's jaw.

"Must have been a nasty fall" Tiff question as she gave Ally her drink with
a grunt in return Ally polished off her drink.
"We should get going to Sandra's memorial..it starts at 2 o' clock doesn't it"
Tiff asked as Ally's eyes followed Tiff's to the clock.

Her face was numb, her ribs hurt like a bitch and now she had to put on a
brave face at Sandra's memorial while her heart had literally been ripped
out of her chest only hours ago by Jane.

Could Ally really give into Jane and just leave...not take Katie with her..she
knew if she had told Katie what was going on..Katie would choose her..she
would give up her life as a surgeon just to be with Ally but Ally didn't want
that.

Of course she wanted Katie but she wanted Katie to be happy, she had a
good job and a nice flat..Katie loved being a surgeon, she loved fixing
people and seeing them walk out those hospital doors to continue living a
normal life. Ally couldn't be the one to take that away from Katie.

Her heart was aching, was she going to tell Katie she didn't want things
happening between them or was Ally going to run away again.

Just disappear this time and not tell anyone where she was going..she didn't
want that..she still had Denny to think of and little Luke.

What about Tiff and Rach..they were her friends, could she really just stop
talking to them just to suit Jane.

She needed to drink...she needed to drink away her pain and hope to god an
solution would arise before the wedding in a few days.

"Give me another" Ally mumbled as she slid her empty glass across the
bar....

**

"You smell like a fucking brewery" Tiff gritted through her teeth as she held
Ally up while they walked into the room full of Sandra's friends and
family..they were already late.
Ally thought it would be nice to have a get together of friends and family in
memory of Sandra..even though Sandra knew she didn't want anything big.

Ally knew what her old boss and friend deserved and a final good bye is
exactly what she needed..then again she didn't think she would be this
drunk turning up for it.

A few wide eyes glared at Ally and Tiff as she made her way over to one of
the tables where she seen the back of Rach's blonde spiky hair. Ally gave
Sandra's brother a short wave as she was dragged by Tiff to the nearby
table.

"What the fuck happened to you" Rach gasped as Ally fell into her seat as
Tiff puffed out a deep breath.

Ally smirked as her eyes glanced at Rach, Shel and Katie's widened eyes
and then finally landed on Jane's who sat quietly at the end of the table with
a smug face.

"I fell" Ally slurred as Rach scrunched her nose at the smell of alcohol off
Ally's breath across the table.

"You fell" Rach snapped.

"Yes" Ally smiled as Katie's jaw clenched.

"How clumsy" Jane scoffed as Ally laughed sarcastically a little too loudly.

"Yes how clumsy of me" Ally mocked Jane's posh accent earning a scowl
from the blonde.

"Ally my wedding is in 3 days and you look like you have just lost against
rocky" Rach snapped trying to keep her voice down as Ally waved her hand
dissmissively.

"Tiff..be a babe and get me a drink will you" Ally mumbled.

"Don't" Katie warned as all eyes landed on Katie who sat glaring at Ally.
"Double vodka and coke" Ally said keeping her eyes firmly on Katie.

She could see the anger pulsating in Katie's temple but Ally was too drunk
to give a rat's arse about anything.

She wished she could stand up and just tell this room full of people how
conniving that cow was that sat with a smug face beside Katie..watching
her plan bubbling away before her as Ally's world was crumbling.

Tiff mumbled something about going to the bar as Shel stood and quickly
followed.

"Listen here..I don't know what the hell has gotten into you but keep it
together Ally..I mean it..for Sandra's sake" Rach warned.

Ally sighed as she sat back in her seat..her life really was crashing
down...the thought of never seeing Sandra again made her heart ache and in
a few days it would be the same with Katie.

Looking over at those blue eyes she could see sadness and fear in Katie's
eyes. Ally was causing Katie this pain, the pain of not being able to be
together right now and Ally knew if she had never given into Lynne all
those years ago they would be happily married now and most likely have
started a family.

"We need to talk" Ally said to Katie as Katie's eyes furrowed.

Katie could sense something was wrong with Ally..the fear in those big
brown eyes made Katie's stomach churn.

Jane's jaw clenched as she looked between the pair but right now Ally didn't
care..she didn't give a shit about what Jane or anyone else she needed to talk
with Katie.

Katie nodded nervously as Ally stumbled to her feet.

"Katie" Jane snapped as she watched Katie walk around the table. Katie
ignored her girlfriend as she followed her ex wife out the door..

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"What the hell happened" Katie gasped as they stood in the cold car park.

Katie's hand grasping Ally's chin lightly as she examined Ally's dry blooded
swollen lip.

"Nothing" Ally mumbled as she moved out of Katie's grip.

"Ally..that's not nothing..tell me" Katie snapped as Ally's saddened eyes

locked with hers.

Ally was words away from letting it all out...telling Katie about Jane's
threats..how both their careers were on the line all because of Ally.

She could confess all now, it was Jane that punched her, that was forcing
her to flee the country in a matter of days.

"Ally" Katie snapped breaking the nurse from her gaze.

"What is going on with you...you can't just turn up here looking like that
and drunk"
"Oh give it a rest" Ally mumbled as Katie frowned.

"You can't expect me to be all smiley smiley while you ask me to marry you
one day and have that conniving little bitch in there beside you" Ally
snapped even thinking about Jane's smug face was making her more angry
by the second.

Katie sighed as she took a step closer to Ally.

Lacing their fingers together as Katie felt Ally's soft hands between hers as
she glanced up to meet Ally's saddened eyes.

"You know I love you Al...I can tell Jane now if that's what you want..I'll
walk in there and tell her you are the one I love and want to spend my life
with..not her..whatever you want Ally I'll do it..I'm just worried about
you..you've been acting weird lately..just let me in babe" Katie said as Ally
gulped.

Could she really let Katie know about everything, it was obvious Katie
loved her.

She could see it in Katie's eyes..Ally was in charge. Ally had Katie's heart in
her hands and she was petrified to what she was going to do.

"No" Ally sighed

"I'm sorry ok..let's just wait until after the wedding...when things calm
down then we can be together" Ally said as she slowly broke her own heart
with her words she watched Katie smile at her.

Ally was lying to herself and in a few days time Katie would realise she lied
to her too.

Ally knew there was no way she could take everything away from Katie
that's why as soon as this wedding was over.

She hated the idea of letting Jane get what she wanted but Ally knew for
Katie to have any sort of a future as a Surgeon, Ally could never be apart of
it..
**

"I'll see you tomorrow" Shel grinned nervously as Rach bit her lip nodding.

Ally rolled her eyes as the couple gave each other short and sweet kisses
before Shel finally left their flat leaving Ally and Rach to their own devices
the night before Rach's wedding.

"Well here's to your future" Ally said as she handed her best friend and a
glass of wine and cradled her own as she sat on the couch.

"I can't believe I'm getting married tomorrow" Rach sighed contently as she
sipped sensibly on her wine.

Ally felt nausea take over, an all too familiar feeling the past couple of
days.

She knew once the wedding was over so was her life in London.

Ally has subtly avoided Katie the past couple of days while she finally
plucked up the courage to book a flight to Malaysia for tomorrow night.

She wasn't quite sure what she was going to do after the wedding tomorrow
all she knew was she needed to get as far away as possible and disappear
from her life now.

Her heart was breaking..the thought of leaving Katie...her friends without

an explanation was eating her up inside but she had to go..it was the only
way Jane was going to keep her mouth shut about Sandra's death.

Playing it over and over in her head Ally really didn't care if she was
grassed in for what she done but there was no way she would allow Katie's
career be put in jeopardy when it was Ally who she was protecting in the
first place.

She knew she couldn't say to Katie that her leaving was down to Jane. Katie
would freak and most likely drop everything for Ally but Ally knew she
couldn't live with herself knowing Katie could possibly never operate on
another person again.
So she was just going to vanish..get on that flight to Malaysia and bunk up
with another nurse she had done her nursing training with and stay until she
figured out how she was going to spend her future..alone and longing for
Katie.

"Right fuck it...where's the tequila" Ally piped as she stood up finishing the
glass of wine and heading straight for the kitchen, she needed to keep her
mind off the idea that she was leaving tomorrow.

"Ally no...I'm getting married tomorrow" Rach warned as she took another
sip of wine and watched her friend appear a moment later with two shot
glasses and a half empty bottle of tequila.

"All the more reason to get drunk" Ally laughed as she took her seat
opposite her friend and began pouring the clear liquid.

"This is it now Rach...no more late nights out or checking other girls
out...you are making a big commitment tomorrow..marriage is for life you
know" Ally babbled as Rach smirked at her accepting the shot glass

"Is that right...for life aye" Rach asked as she knocked back her drink as she
shuddered.

"It is if you don't fuck it up" Ally sighed mimicking her friends action the
burning liquid was making her feel less numb.

"Don't fuck it up" Ally said quietly looking Rach dead in the eye as she
grabbed the glasses again pouring another shot.

"What's going on with you Al..I feel like I'm so caught up with the wedding
I've not really asked how you are doing" Rach said as Ally gave her a weak
smile taking another drink.

"Nothing Rach...everything's fine" Ally stated as she pushed Rach's shot

further towards her.

"Promise" Rach questioned reluctantly accepting the shot off the table
"Promise" Ally lied as Rach gave her a mischief smile and accepted her
drink.

"I love youuuuuuuu" Ally giggled as she collapsed onto the couch attacking
a drunken Rach with a cushion who was also in a fit of giggles.

A knock to the door broke the girls laughter as Rach pushed her friend off
of her and stumbled to the front door swinging it open.

"What's up doc" Rach laughed as Katie breath out waving her hand in front
of her nose already smelling to lingering odour of booze from inside the
flat.

"Jesus...you do realise you are getting married tomorrow" Katie laughed

nervously as she stepped into the flat .

"I know" Rach grinned as she bit her lip nervously.

"I've just come from seeing her and she looks just as excited as you are"
Katie smiled as Rach gave her another grin.

"I should get some sleep...big day tomorrow" Rach chirped nervously as she
headed towards her room pushing Ally lightly as Ally reached out and
gripped her friend.

"You'll be great Rach..you deserve to be happy" Ally said quietly as she

gave the blondes hand a tight squeeze before letting her continue her way
towards her bedroom.

"Night Rach" Katie shouted after her as she stepped further into the flat and
walked around the couch dropping her handbag and coat to the empty space
next to Ally.

Katie straddled Ally as she crashed their lips together.

Their tongues tangled as Katie shifted her body against Ally causing the
nurse to groan as she gripped Katie's hips giving them a light squeeze.
"One more night" Katie gasped for air as she broke their kiss..resting her
head against Ally's

"One more night and I get my baby back..for good this time" she smiled
biting her lip as Ally smiled weakly.

"Katie" she croaked as she shift up straight gesturing for Katie to sit in the
space next to her as her eyes remained firmly fixed on the surgeons.

"Katie I want you to know...despite everything you'll always be the one...the

one who's brought out the best in me...made me smile and laugh..brought
tears of happiness and always made me feel safe" Ally said as her eyes
glistened as Katie smiled at how cute the nurse was being.

Katie thought this was Ally being soppy but Ally knew this was her
goodbye...

"You'll always be a big part of who I am and I want to thank you for just
being there for me..for being you..I love you Katie" she smiled as her tears
fell causing Katie to release an awhh and coo as she gripped Ally's face
between her fingers and bringing their lips together once again.

"I love you too babe" Katie mumbled against Ally's lips as their kiss
deepened once again...

**

"OH MY GOD....look at all those people" Rach grumbled as she struggled

to keep her bile down...she was so nervous as she glanced up the aisle of the
hotel where in moments to come her and the love of her life would be
exchanging vows and walking down that vert aisle wife and wife.

"I'm going to be sick" she mumbled as Ally chuckled holding a bouquet of

flowers.

"Rach look at me" Ally snapped the blonde from her terrified gaze at the
eager crowd of her friends and family.
"You'll be great...your marrying your best friend...the love of your life...dont
be scared...embrace this..embrace every single moment of this day..you love
Shel and she certainly loves you" Ally pep talked her friend as Rach's
colour began to return to her paled cheeks.

Getting the nod from the registrar Ally quickly brushed down her dress and
whispered for everything to take their place.

She was dreading this moment, the moment she had to walk side by side
with Jane.

Giving Rach a quick wink and mouthing she's got this. Ally cleared her
throat as she stood at the bottom of the aisle the change of music as she felt
a cold presence next to her.

"You must be counting down the minutes before you piss off" Jane
mumbled as Ally gave the blonde a quick glare them both stepping forward
up the aisle smiling as the crowd turned to look at them.

"You won't get away with this..you do realise that" Ally mumbled through
her smile as she nodded at Rach's extended family

"I think you will find I will...remember I can have you both ruined with the
click of a finger you little slut" Jane replied as Ally stood still causing Jane
to stop in her tracks too.

Ally glanced around as all eyes were on her..she was fuming..she hated Jane
and hated how the bitch was going to get her way.

Ally's eyes softened as they locked with Katie's piercing blue eyes, her
heart raced. Could Ally really let go of Katie again, not have her in life...

"Keep walking" Jane gritted between her teeth as Ally caught up and they
continued to walk as Ally's eyes remained on Katies.

"Do you see who she's looking at..who she wants" Ally whispered as she
glanced at Jane who was becoming flushed in the face as she glared at Katie
"She loves me Jane...whether I leave today or not you'll never stop her
loving me" Ally added as they finally came to the top of the aisle parting
ways.

Ally smirked as she glanced at Jane who was stood looking furious
watching Rach and her dad walk up the aisle. Ally wasn't going to lose
Katie without a fight....

**

"I'm so happy for you two" Tiff declared as she clung to the happy couple.
The ceremony had gone quick and painless for Ally who wasn't a big fan of
weddings considering how her marriage had ended up.

She had caught a death glare off Jane every now and then but Ally was
beginning to ease slightly..she wasn't sure if she could ahead with boarding
the Malaysian airlines flight at midnight tonight but she knew Jane would
be true to her word and do anything she could to destroy Katie's career if
Ally was to stay and face the music.

Thinking of Katie she hadn't seen her around the past half hour or so and
come to think of it she hadn't seen Jane either.

Ally felt nauseous knowing Jane probably had her greasy paws on
Katie..loving every minute of it with Katie oblivious to just how evil Jane
actually was.

"Come on babe...let's get you a drink" Rach chirped as her new wife was
dragged off to meet some distant relative.

"So how does it feel to be a married woman" Ally smiled as she watched
the blonde play with her new piece of jewellery on her left hand.

"Amazing" Rach beamed

"So fucking amazing" she grinned as Ally's hand gave Rach's arm a quick
squeeze. Katie appeared pale and clammy in front of the pair of friends as
Ally's heart sank.
"Katie what's wrong" Ally asked concerned as Katie glanced nervously
around the room.

"We need to talk" she whispered as Ally felt nauseous.

"Rach I'm really sorry but me and Ally need to leave...Now" Katie snapped
as she grabbed hold of Ally's arm hurting her in the process.

"Katie" Ally snapped trying to pull out of Katie's rough grip she was being
spun around towards the exit. Katie and Ally stopped still as gasped
escalated around the room

"Going somewhere ladies" Jane smirked as she pointed a pistol between the
couple.

Ally gulped as she felt Katie giving her a tight squeeze and pulling her back
slightly.

"Jane" Katie warned holding out her hand taking a step forward as Ally's
heart was pounding. She knew Jane was a psycho but a gun..

"Don't fucking move" Jane warned pointing the gun as Katie who quickly
retracted her steps and watch the gun hover between them both.

"Jane...whatever has happened I'm sure we can sort it...please put that thing
away" Shel said appearing from the still crowd.

"Sort it...Your pal Alison here has been fucking my girlfriend here since
she's came back...a right little pair we have here" Jane snapped

"Only thing that needs sorted is this bitch needs to pay for ruining my
relationship" Jane added pointing the gun directly at Ally who stood in
shock not really sure how she could talk herself out of this one.

"I'm sorry" Ally mumbled.

"Oh finally the slut speaks...you should be gone by now..I told you that you
had until the wedding to get the fuck out of my life but turns out your
princess here thought it would be appropriate to dump me at my best
friend's wedding" Jane hissed glaring at Katie who gulped keeping her eye
firmly on the gun that was still pointed at Ally.

"Jane" Rach said calmly taking a step forward

"How about me, you and the girls have a chat about this somewhere a little
more privately" Rach pleaded as she could see the apprehension in the room
as everyone was afraid to make any sudden move. Jane scoffed as she
scratched her forehead

"As far as I'm concerned these "girls" both belong six feet under" Jane
snapped as she aimed her gun more firmly this time

"Who would like to go first" Jane asked as she smirked at the pair as she
paced back and forth a few steps.

"I could just shoot you" Jane said looking a fearful Ally in the eye.

"I mean you are the little slut who came back and fucked it all up" she
continued as she aimed the gun to Ally's chest.

"But then again..You should suffer..and what better way to suffer than see
the girl you love die right in front of you" Jane said as her gun shifted to
Katie.

"I mean if I can't have her than either can you" Jane gritted through her
teeth as she held the loaded gun tightly

Jane let out a content sigh as she held the gun directly in front of her closing
her eyes she heard a brief cry of screams and movement as the echo of the
gun shot rang through room. Jane's eyes opened as she watched a lifeless
body crash to the floor.....
 Chapter 40 - Epilogue

2 years later..

Christmas morning.

"Happy Christmas Doc" Rach smiled as she grasped the surgeon between
her short arms and Katie gave the blonde a short hug back.

"How's your head" a chirpy Shel asked as she gave her friend a quick hug.

"Not too good" Katie mumbled as she made her way into the kitchen to
flick the kettle on.

"Well that's what you two get for getting pissed last night..you better be
hungry later for this turkey" Shel laughed as she gave her wife a cheeky
grin and opened Katie's fridge to start preparing christmas dinner.

This is the second Christmas Shel and Rach had came over on Christmas
eve and gotten drunk on egg nog and whisky and they would share the day
together.

Katie wasn't in the mood for celebrating it but Shel always insisted Katie
shouldn't be alone on the occasion. Katie was tempted to work this year but
with it being christmas there was no schedules surgeries until the new year
so spending the day with her friends was more appealing than catching up
on paper work she could easily get done in a couple of hours next week.

Katie sighed as she reached for cups asking the girls if they wanted a
coffee..a short grunt from Rach indicated she was up for it as she looked
like she had been to hell and back she sat at the table nursing her head.
"None for me...I don't need anything to perk me up since I was in bed
before midnight last night" Shel said as she chopped away at the veggies.

Shel always was the most optimistic one of them all...she never let anything
bring her down and was always the rock out of the group of friends.

"So have you heard from Julia at all" Shel asked piling the vegetables in a
neat pile on the chopping board.

"No" Katie sighed stirring her coffee and clasping both cups as she sat
opposite a almost lifeless Rach. She knew Rach was feeling the pain of the
day that was in it.

"No doubt she will phone later to see how you are holding with out her
least favourite child around you" Rach let slip hating how Julia always
treated Ally.

Katie's jaw clenched for a split moment as Shel gave her wife an evil glare.
It was christmas there was no need on dwelling on the past.

As the day went on Katie and Rach curled up on the two large leather sofas
in Katie's spacious living room, there eyes glued to some cheaply made
soppy Christmas movie.

Neither of them were in the mood to lift their heads to even make contact
with one another which suited them both down to a T.

"Dinner's ready" Shel beamed popping her head from the kitchen for a
second and disappearing again.

After a few grunts and groans both girls struggled to move from their
comfort and eventually made their way into the dinning room.

Katie's eye widened as she looked at all the food that was cooked to
perfection laid out on the table.

The golden brown turkey had actually made her stomach groan as she took
her seat at the table.
As the three of them took a seat digging into the food, Katie sat as she
looked at the empty space opposite her.

Her heart sank as she looked between the loving couple as they exchange
loving glances at one another..Katie felt a burden.

This was Shel and Rach's day to spend together, themselves as a family but
here Shel was slaving over Katie's kitchen all day for her to be a third
wheel. This was the last year she was going to be here with her two
friends...next year she was going to let them be a family.

"Come on Doc eat up before this mare eats all the food" Rach joked
pointing her fork at her wife who giggled as she shoved a ball of stuffing in
her mouth.

Katie laughed as she shook her thoughts from her head and tucked into her
Christmas dinner.

**

"So Doc you want to see the present I got the Mrs" Rach asked handing
Katie her fourth glass of crushed ice with Baileys.

"Rach" Shel mumbled giving her wife a worried glare

"What" Rach hissed back

"Come on...I can't hold it in any longer I've been wanting to telling her all
day...Please babe" Rach pleaded with her wife as she stood in anticipation
waiting for permission.

"Fine" Shel huffed as she smiled reaching for her hand bag by her knees as
she took out a small gift bag handing it to her wife who practically leapt
across the room and snatched the bag from her wife's hands and ran to the
Surgeon holding it out to a puzzled looking Katie as she stared at the red
gift bag.

"Go on" Rach beamed

"Have a look" she smiled holding to bag out further until Katie sat up
straight and took the bag from the blondes hand.

Having a look inside her eyes furrowed as she reached in taking out to baby
blue shoes.

The tiniest little shoes ever her eyes furrowed as she look between the
couple who grinned waiting for a response.

"Noooooooooo" Katie gasped as she clenched the blue shoes as she felt
tears begin to stream her face as her two friends yelped out a yes and Shel
let out an exciting scream.

"Oh my god" Katie cried jumping to her feet as she squeezed an excited
Rach between her arms as Shel approached them Katie took caution
looking down at Shel's flat stomach.

"14 weeks" Shel smiled rubbing her hand over her tummy as Katie began
wiping her tears from her eyes.

"I'm so fucking happy for you two" Katie cried as she smiled looking at her
two friends.

She knew the struggle the pair had gone for Shel to conceive for months
and months of negative tests and even losing their precious angel at 9
weeks.

They had given up on the idea of ever expanding their family. The three
girls hugged and cried together..so excited for the future that was ahead for
them all...the front door closed behind them as the three girls all looked up.

"What the hell happened" Ally said placing her keys on the table as her
eyes furrowed looking at the three of them.

Katie sobbed even harder as she held up the two blue shoes in Ally's
direction as Ally's eyes furrowed.

"You told her..You were suppose to wait until I finished work" Ally
stropped struggling to get out of her winter coat.
"You knew" Katie huffed as she handed Shel back the blue shoes.

"Of course I knew..we were suppose to surprise you tonight and tell you,
with me there" Ally huffed as she stepped further into her house.

"Well that's what you get for working" Katie huffed as she sat back down
on the sofa.

"3 scrub nurses phoned in sick this morning. you know I can't just abandon
my girls..I'm suppose to be leading an example" Ally replied as she came
further into the living room.

"You better not have been on your feet all day ya fat mare" Rach said as she
grasped her wife's hand and sat down.

"I'm six month pregnant you bitch..not fat" Ally snapped as she
approached Katie who still appeared cold but Ally could see her girlfriends
eyes softening up as she looked down at Ally's tight stripe top showing off
her growing bump. Ally sat down letting out a sigh of relief as she kicked
off her converse as she reached her hand across to clasp Katie's.

"Have you guys eaten already" Ally asked her nose sniffing the distant
smell of dinner.

Katie smirked to herself knowing she still had 3 more months of Ally eating
her little heart out.

"Well you left in such a rush this morning we didn't know if you were even
going to make it back before 8" Rach said dryly

"Oh I'm sorry were you even awake at 6 this morning because I'm pretty
sure with the amount of drink you and pluto over hear drank an earthquake
wouldn't have even woken you two up" Ally shot back smirking at Shel
who gave her a giggle knowing exactly how drunk Rach and Katie were
last night.

"Want me to run you a bath" Katie asked softening up. She was so angry
and hurt waking up this morning seeing a note from her girlfriend who had
to go to work on her day off because they were so short.

Katie knew even if she was awake this morning there would have been no
way of talking Ally out of not going in.

Whether Ally was 6 months pregnant or not she always carried out her duty
as a manager and would never see her staff let down which is why this was
her second christmas working in the busy hospital.

Katie knew Ally has come so far from being a 24 year old petrified scrub
nurse back in Gambia to now leading up one of the busiest north London
hospitals theatre, Katie knew Sandra would be so proud if she could see
Ally now.

**

"Ughhhhh this is the best thing ever" Ally hummed between the bubbles as
Katie smiled holding a glass of wine as she sat on the edge of the large bath
tub.

"Best thing ever" Katie questioned with a sad pout. Ally smiled as she
shuffled forward placing her lips on Katie's who hummed into the sweet
kiss.

"Where are the other two" Ally asked as her fingers played with Katie's
long dark hair.

"Bed, I think Shel has had too much fun making the dinner..she wouldn't let
Rach even chop a carrot today to help" Katie smiled

"I'm so fucking happy for them...I've always felt guilty for us being
pregnant after them trying for so long and then boom first go and you are
knocked up" Katie joked earning a splash of water from her girlfriend.

"I'm so happy for them too..I'm sorry it's another Christmas with me not
being here..I promise next year will be just me you and tinker bell here"
Ally said rubbing her hand over her bump as she bit her lip.
"Tinker bell...no fucking way are we calling her tinker bell" Katie huffed as
Ally rolled her eyes.

"Hey Katie" Ally sighed as she lay back against the bath tub giving her
girlfriend her seductive look

"Yes Alison" Katie gulped looking down at her girlfriends beautiful body.

Pregnancy really suited Ally her bump was just the cutest fucking thing
ever Katie loved just touching it at any opportunity she could get, not to
mention her boobs had gone even bigger which was always a bonus for any
lesbian.

"Why don't you come join me and tinker bell here for a nice relaxing bath"
Ally giggled as Katie smiled standing up and beginning to strip out of her
clothes.

**

"I fucking love you Harris" Katie hummed as her pregnant girlfriend leaned
into her in the warm bath.

"I love you too babe" Ally replied as her arm was reach back against
Katie's soft skin..her fingers traced lightly over the ruffled scarred tissue
above Katie's right breast.

Ally's eyes shut tightly for a moment as she felt the nauseous feeling
remembering the day Katie was shot.

A full month Katie was in a coma..she had lost so much blood she was put
into an induced coma. Every day and night Ally stayed with Katie in ICU
praying and wishing the surgeon would wake up.

Eventually after 28 days Katie had finally woke up and just under 3 weeks
later was able to be discharged home with Ally..priorities changed for the
pair and they new they wanted a family after that. They had even managed
to book their wedding for sound next year after tinker bell was born. They
haven't spent a night apart since Katie was discharged from hospital. Ally
couldn't imagine her life with Katie. She would have no life with out her
and after attending court and watching that smug face Jane being sentenced
to 15 years for attempted murder.

"I can't wait for our little girl to be born" Katie hummed as she held Ally
closer between her arms..this was it...this was her family...this time next
year she would have a daughter.

"I never told you but when I went back to clear out Sandra's stuff in her
house I found a diary she kept from when she was younger...Sandra lost a
baby in 1982 a little girl named Megan...I was thinking maybe we could
call.."

"Megan..baby Megan...I love it" Katie whispered against her girlfriends

head placing a kiss against Ally's temple.

This was it..Katie and Ally had spent years of heartache and pain trying to
heal the mistakes in the past and now they were finally together.

Having a baby and about to spend the rest of their lives together. Their
wounds were finally healed.

This is it...I just want to thank everybody who has read,voted and
commented on this over the past two years nearly writing this book..I
hope you all have enjoyed it and before people ask there will not be a
sequel to this..lets leave Ally and Katie to finally live happily ever after
without crazy Jane lol!

A/N 2017 - I went over the book a done some slight editing with the
writing style. I didn't really want to change the story so I have it!
thank you all :) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 Sequel?

Hello everyone!

Ok so I know I said for years now I would not do a sequel for this story but

😂
I have been thinking about this for a while and decided I would. Those not
interested..that's absolutely fine you can have the ending as in the
epilogue. I need a new challenge haha. I know I have summer lovin
ongoing which I will be continuing to update but I will be starting to write
this story too just to let you all know my plans. It'll have the same format

😂
with some flashbacks and old characters that were in the previous story (I
know everyone loved Tiff ) and it will be set a couple of years after the
epilogue with plenty of drama planned.

Thanks for reading and hopefully you will enjoy the sequel 😊 xxx
