Opposites Attract

Close Call

(FRANKY'S POV)

I've been in such a good mood the last few days. Ever since Gidget kissed me, I couldn't stop smiling. And I knew the other inmates noticed it, but I couldn't help it.

I think Red started catching on to what was happening too.

"You're always in a good mood after your sessions with Miss Westfall." She said, giving me a look.

She was in my cell, sitting next to me on the bed.

I shrugged. "Yeah she's helping me get parole."

"Mhm. It sure seems like a little more than that."

"Well it's not."

"Whatever you say Franky."

She was smiling. I rolled my eyes.

"Fine I think she's hot okay?" I said.

"Nope. I think you're falling in loooooove." She said, nudging me.

"Fuck off!" I said with a laugh. I fiddled with the string on my jacket, thinking.

"I dunno Red. She's the only person who's ever really believed in me. And she genuinely cares about me. Just seeing her makes my whole day better. She's...I dunno."

She raised an eyebrow.

"Holy shit. You're really falling for her aren't you?"

I looked at her.

"Yeah. I reckon so."

"Well good for you." She said.
"I didn't know you had it in you to care about someone like that. I thought you were just all about sex."

"Nuh that's just a plus."

She laughed.

"If you tell anyone I'm gonna kill you." I told her.

"You mean if I tell people you have a thing with the prison psych? Or that you are capable of love?" She asked with a smirk.

"Both!" I told her. "I have a reputation as a badass to uphold you know."

"Awe you're going soft on me."

"Nope. Never. I'll still beat your ass or anyone else's in this place."

"Uh huh. Sure."

Officer miles walked into the cell.

"Miss Westfall is ready for your appointment now Doyle." She said.

Red raised an eyebrow at me, trying to hide a smile.

"Yeah. Okay." I said, standing up.

I followed her to Gidget's office, feeling happy. Gidget already told me that we couldn't really do anything until I got parole, but I really didn't think I could contain myself.

"Here you are Doyle." Smiles said once we got there.
"See you in an hour."

She closed the door behind her and I plopped into the chair in front of her desk.

"Heya spunky." I said.

She smiled.

"Hi Franky."

"Missed me?" I asked.

"Of course." She said with a laugh.

I leaned towards her.
"How much?"

"Franky I don't know if we're still being recorded."

"Why did you find another tape recorder?"

"Well no, but-"

"Then we're fine Gidge. The Freak already got what she wanted and it obviously didn't work. She's not dumb enough to try it again."

"Still. I don't want to take that risk."

I groaned. "So I'm really supposed to just wait until I get parole?"

"Yup."

"How the fuck am I supposed to do that?"

She smiled. "Well you're just gonna have to find a way."

"You got a naked picture of yourself I can have then?"

She chuckled. "No I do not."

"This is going to be really fucking hard." I said with a sigh.

She nodded. "Believe me, it's hard for me too."

"So how much longer is all this parole shit going to take?" I asked her.

"I have all my paperwork done and ready. We're just waiting for a date from the parole board I guess."

"And who's in charge of that?"

She sighed. "Ferguson."

"Well shit. I'm fucked then."

"No. She can't-"

"No, she'll find a way to fuck it up. Like she does everything. She'll either 'find' something on me or she'll 'forget' a part of the paperwork. I know her. She'll find something."

"Well then I guess you're going to have to be on your best behavior so she won't have anything to use against you."

I nodded. "Yeah. Yeah you're right."

I smiled at her. "That kiss was pretty great by the way."

She laughed, closing her eyes. "God I shouldn't have done that. I could've fucked everything up."

"I'm glad it happened. Now I know you're in looove with me." I teased her.

"Whatever." She said, smiling. "And you kissed me back cuz you're in looove with me too."

I met her gaze and we just sat looking at each other for a few minutes.

"I can't wait to get out of this dump to show you how much." I said quietly.

"Me too."

I walked over to her.

"You know, I could just show you now..." I said. I leaned over her and placed my hands on the arm rests of her chair.

"Well I'm pretty sure that would not be being on your best behavior." She said.

Our faces were inches from each other and I wanted to just close the space and lay one on her.

"Even if we aren't recorded, there are still cameras in here." She whispered.

"Then I'll cover them."

"No. If they see the camera covered you know they're just gonna come in here and see why it's covered."

"Then where do you wanna go do this then?"

(BRIDGET'S POV)

"Then where do you wanna go do this then?" She whispered.

She was so close to me that we were practically touching. I wanted to just say fuck it and pull her down to me, but the practical side of my brain reminded me why I couldn't do that.

"Franky our time is almost up." I said quietly. "Officer Miles is going to be here to take you back any minute now."

"A kiss won't take more than a couple seconds." She whispered.

Just then there was a knock on the door. Franky jumped back away from me and got back into her chair just in time as the door opened.

"I'm here to take Franky back." Officer miles said.

Franky stood up.

"See you at our next session Miss Westfall." She said with a wink.

"I'll let you know when I'm able to schedule you." I told her.

I watched her leave with my heart pounding in my chest. That was too close of a call. I didn't know how I was going to do it but I had to convince Franky that we couldn't do anything until she got parole. The only problem, was I going to be able to wait that long that long? She had such a strong effect on me. She better get her parole soon before we both accidentally fuck up our lives.
