At First Sight (GirlxGirl) LGBT+

Chapter Five

"Well that was close?" Isla smiled as they walk along the corridor.
"Close to what? Finally kissing me or getting caught doing so?" Dani's tone was a little sharper than she expected.
Isla looked at the ground shyly. That finally comment, I did annoy her when I run away last night. Isla was so much more bold when she messaged but Dani has the confidence for the real world. I am so bad at this. She had originally thought about just kissing Dani when she asked her into the cupboard, but then chickened out and said about the books. I mean I think she wants to kiss me. Maybe not maybe she's just being friendly.  No she flirts. She looks up at Dani. Wondering what she wants from this. She looks like she could have anyone, what does she want with a hopeless case like me. Maybe it's one of those bet things where the guys at the station have challenged her to pull Frigid Foster. That guy Stewart who was here at the end of last year was a right prick.
"Hey what you thinking about?" Dani tried to catch her eyes.
"Nothing"
"Isla?"
"Just trying to work out whats going on, with Christie"
"We'll maybe know soon enough. Guess what I get to drive today." Dani smiled. Isla noticed the police vehicle in the carpark.
"I'll drop you back here when we are done"

"Can we put the siren on?" Isla smiles over at the driver.
"What are you, like five?" Dani laughed.
"Oh this is exciting. Never been the front of a police car before?"
"Does that mean you've been in the back?" Dani gave her passenger a quick glance and smile as they exited the carpark.
"Now that would be telling?"
"Hey, watch how everyone slows down when they notice us"
Isla smiles.

They pull up outside the residential home. Dani pulls on the hand break and accidentally brushes her fingers against Isla's thigh.
"Sorry"
"It's okay" she smiled. She wished Dani didn't feel like she had to apologise when she touched her.

Ready?" Dani asked. She looked around at the area. The residential home was in Port Glasgow. Just to the north of Greenock it was an area of high deprivation. It looked poor. The streets were strewn with broken glass and dog shit, some of the houses were boarded up. It had long lost any pride there was in the area and gang tagging emblazoned the ends of the tenements to the right of the street. The home it's self was in a block of terraced houses which had been knocked together internally. The grass was over grown and littered with bottles, cans and cigarette butts.
"As I'll ever be. I don't think she'll be to happy to see me. She didn't want this. Didn't want social work."
"Isla, she can't blame you?" She looked into Dani's hazel eyes and wished that was true.

Dani put her Badge over her head the blue of the police scotland lanyard stark against the black of her T-shirt, she also had her warrant card in her pocket but most folks were okay with the badge now.

"Hi PC Woods, Greenock Community Team. I'm here to speak to Christie Hogan. I believe you're expecting me. This is I.."
"It's okay we know Isla here" the older woman smiled.
"Pam nice to see you." Isla returned the gesture.
She let them into the home. "I'll just go get Christie if you want to have a seat through in the lounge".

The place smelled like dinner something like mince or stew hung in the air along with the greasy smell of a chip pan.
"Hey Miss"
"Hi Helen" Isla smiled. The girl went up to her room. "She's been in here since she was seven so almost nine years. She's pretty settled for a looked after kid"
Dani looked about. They had tried to make it look homely, but there were things which stood out, which shouted institution. Things like fire extinguishers, whiteboards and health and safety posters. "Must be hard. I don't think we always appreciate how lucky we had it"
"True." Isla nodded.
"You still got both your parents?"
"Yeah, they are separated. Don't see Dad as much as I'd like he moved up north with his new wife. See mum most weekends"
"You?"
"Yeah they are over in Dunbar. My Dads a retired police officer and mums an overbearing Italian housewife." Dani laughed.
