“His loss completely…” Ellie muttered softly, her eyes looking sad for a moment until she considered the happier thought that at least now Tammy had a chance of being happy in her own self away from him. “Why do you think you deserve so little? I’ve read up on you, you’ve done so much, you’re a wonderful woman…Your record looks clean, even if I know it’s not, that shows an intelligence, plus you have this kindness…I- Oh wow, I’m not good at speeches”

“I guess so...” She said with a shrug. Tammy didn’t think of herself as a catch. Her self confidence wasn’t very high. She smiled gently at Ellie when she talked. She was glad she tried to cheer her up. “I guess the way other people have seen me in the past has affected the way I see myself now. I’m not used to people treating me kindly. No one has ever made me beautiful. No one has ever made me feel worth something. Not my husband. Not my parents. Nobody. The only people who’ve ever gave a shit about me are my kids and the group of woman living in that old house at the harbour. They are all I have left.” She paused for a second. “And now you...I guess. Your speech was wonderful....maybe one day I’ll be able to believe you.”

Nine Ball stepped out and bit her bottom lip. “I…I did…Tammy. I’d run out of coffee and I was. .dead tired running some stuff on my computer and I couldn’t pause it or stop it. I’ll go grab your favorite brew when I go out to the store in a while.” She said before looking down at her boots, one untied. Nine ball looked exhausted, pushing back her dark hair as guilty ran through her veins. “I know I should have asked you , but you were sleeping and I didn’t wanna wake you…people get grouchy if they are awakened for such a silly thing, and I don’t like being on anyone’s bad side.” Nine ball said, turning her foot in a bit.

Tammy sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose but then she gave the girl a soft smile. “It’s fine. I’m not mad. But maybe ask next time? Or just leave me a note saying ‘Hey I took your Coffee maker. xoxo Nine ball’ that would’ve been fine.” She told her softly, chuckling slightly at her own joke.

“CEMENT? This is amazing stuff, it really does wonders- you should let me try and give you a makeover, especially now you’re doing the whole dating thingy, I got told you were all with a cop and sandwiched together” Daphne mused. “Oh yeah, I mean you have all these coffee makers unused, its like this huge big sign that just tells me to get my coffee on!”

Tammy couldn’t help but blush when Daphne mentioned Ellie. It was still a touchy subject and she wasn’t used to people teasing her about it. “I am fine with my make up and looks, thank you very much. I’m a mom. I don’t do glamorous.” She shrugged. “But too much is too much Daphne.” She chuckled.

Debbie smirked when Tammy spoke and came to sit on her lap, keeping her in her place “Is it about that cop you got bus-ay with? Who am I kidding, of course it is…You look miles away. Tam, you took one for the team you don’t have to freak about getting caught, we’re all good here” she said, rolling the lollipop in her mouth as she spoke.

Tammy huffed when Debbie placed herself on her lab. She always did that when she wanted her to stay in place and Tammy hated that. “I...I didn’t just take one for the team Deb. I did it for me as well. And Ellie is kind of amazing. But I hate that I’m putting her into this position. She could lose everything if she gets caught yet she’s still trying to be with me. It’s all a littles surreal.”

“Wait, no one has ever said something like that to you?” Ellie looked completely confused and narrowed her eyes “But how?” she asked “You’ve been married before?” she wondered, not being able to understand how that had never happened for Tammy. “You always deserve those words, sure we don’t know everything about each other, maybe not even alot, but you really do”

Tammy shrugged her shoulders and sighed in response. “I have been married yes. But my ex husband couldn’t recognize romance even if it punched him in the face. He got me a cookbook for our anniversary. And he never said anything remotely close to romantic to or about me.” She sighed. “But you know what they say.....we accept the love we think we deserve.” She smiled sadly.

“You’re just jealous because I can pull this look off. SO” Daphne gave a shrug and then a playful pucker of her lips before going back to the make up that she was applying. It was unclear exactly why the starlet was staying at Lou’s place when she had her own amazing penthouse in the city, it showed that even with money she was still incredibly lonely in a sense. In most sense. “I had a lot of Espresso….”

“Jealous? Me? About that cement you’re putting all over your face? Yeah I don’t think so.” She chuckled lightly, teasing Daphne a little bit. “Did you? I wouldn’t have noticed.”

Ellie was at a loss in reality, she knew she was going down a dangerous path and yet in another way she’d forgotten entirely about her role as a cop, which was probably a little worrying. “Not really, I guess I just have a way with my words.” she said gently, stealing another tender kiss and then pulling back, nibbling her lower lip, just kissing Tammy confirmed mentally that she was making the right decision.

“You really do. No one has ever said those things about me. It’s quite overwhelming but welcomed nonetheless.” She said softly, smiling up at the taller blonde. It was true, her ex-husband never said any of those things about her. She felt like a burden to him.

Debbie set down her blueprints and took her feet off the coffee table before standing up “Oh no, you can’t fob me off with that, Tam-Tam!” she waved off with her finger and stepped round the small table to stand in front of the blonde “What’s this really about, what’s snaking you. Tell Mama Ocean…Wait. Which one of us is older?”

Tammy’s face dropped a little. Why was Debbie always able to look right through her? She shook her head, trying to get out of this conversation. “it’s nothing, really. I’m fine.” She shrugged.

“Oh come on Tam-Tam, you have to spare me the lecture to spare my brain from melting! I’ll use a Goddamn coaster next time” The brunette teased, sticking out her tongue and showing it had changed colour to the lollipop that she had been sucking. @tammyprofiteerx

“You said that last time! And the time before that! And the time before that! How often do I have to remind you?” She asked with a sigh, pinching the bridge of her nose. “You’re worse than my kids.”

“Well, I gotta admit when I found out things-…It was bad. But now I think about it” she took a breath and clicked her tongue. “You’re creative, crazy intelligent and so beautiful. So it’s all good now, amazing even. Prison would be worth it just for time with you” she then blushed when realised her words.

Tammy held her breath when Ellie started talking. But soon her concern was washed away but Ellie’s incredibly sweet words. She could see the other woman was blushing. She stepped closer, cupped her cheeks and pulled her in for a soft kiss. “You’re amazing.” She whispered against her lips.

The cop took a moment to compose herself, since her mind was racing and internally panicking all at once, it especially made her heart race all that more with how close the two were stood “Ya know, I really have to admit that I’ve never met anyone like you”

Tammy could tell that Ellie was nervous. She was nervous as well. She frowned a little at the other woman’s words. “Is that a good or a bad thing?” She asked curiously.

“You’re really not judging me? You’re sure?” she laughed softly and only blushed at the womans smile “Pamper me? So you’re going to take me on a whirlwind of a ride?” she asked, before she then took a small breath, she imagined Tammy could afford it after what had happened with the MET. “I’d love to”

“I am pretty positive yes.” She chuckled, smiling softly at the other woman. It was easy to be with Ellie. It felt nice to be wanted. “Yes I am indeed. You deserve an amazing first date.” She stated honestly.

“I suppose I’ve just never had the opportunity to get all that close to someone, when I wasn’t studying for my police exam I was working out for it, then if I wasn’t working once I had the job I was sleeping. It really puts a stop in your love life” she sighed, but kept a small smile for Tammy “Care to enlighten me?” she laughed,

“I am not here to judge. I understand how busy life can get.” She said, giving the detective a charming smile. “Well since you’ve never been on a date before I am gonna pamper you. Prepare for the best first date of your life.” She chuckled

therookie-cop‌:

“Well, we’re the same in that respect…I don’t think I’ve ever really been on one to be honest. I don’t get out much” she mused and then dropped her hands slowly when Tammy came closer “So, what do you really want to do as a date? Something like a movie, something fun? Or do we sit and make awkward eye contact over coffee?”

“You have never been on a date?” Tammy asked with a rather shocked expression. “Well we’re gonna change that right now.” She said with a chuckle, smiling at the other. “While making awkward eye contact over coffee sounds like a very fun activity. I have a better plan.” She smirked slightly

“Oh! You don’t have to be nervous, you’re fine..You’re not going to get reprimanded for anything” she offered, before cupping the womans cheeks in her hands to try and reassure her “So, do we just…Go on a date?”

“It’s been a very long time since I have been on a date, I am not gonna lie.” She breathed out, still feeling a slight nervousness buzzing through her body. Tammy couldn’t help but smile when Ellie cupped her cheeks. She locked eyes with her and moved a little closer. “But a date sounds perfect.”

“No no, I know….I need to, Im just nervous. But look at me I’m fine” she tried to reassure, reaching for the other in an aim to comfort her as best she could “I’d um, maybe take you for a chai latte?” she offered

“I am nervous too, Ellie.” She admitted, giving her a soft smile as she took the hand that reached for her and intertwined their fingers. “That’s a start.” She chuckled.

“No no, just getting adjusted and I’ve always been really jumpy, I’m scared of my own shadow….It’s not you, but RIP this shirt” The blonde laughed softly, her cheeks red. “I want to, so that’s all that should really matter even if we could both end up in jail eventually” she admitted.

Tammy nodded in response not really knowing how to respond. She could tell the other blonde was anxious, she was too. She was beginning to doubt that all of this was a good idea. “Just....just try to forget about it all for a second and just focus on us? If we were just two people who met randomly. Forget about the jobs and responsibilities. Just us. What would you do?”
