I'm supposed to be focusing on my novel ( jdroxburgh for details) but this idea popped into my head and I wanted to share it :) will be other chapters but it won't be epic like 'Taste' has ended up being -incidentally if you haven't read 'Taste' it's my first R&I fanfic x

Maura and Jane were sat in a classy French restaurant, it was late and it had grown dark outside. The only light illuminating them was a small candle. Maura picked up her glass of Pinot noir and sipped it slowly. She glanced over at the brunette detective and was finding it hard not to giggle. Jane was sat awkwardly like she had something crawling down her spine, her clear distaste for the escargot starter was written all over her face.

I'm gonna puke! Jane was trying her hardest not to pull a face and instead was trying to shift her discomfort down her body away from her facial muscles. She wondered if it was working when she caught sight of Maura trying to suppress a grin as she sipped her red wine. Jane growled inwardly. She knew what this starter was! Of course she knew! Jane scowled at her.

Seeing Jane scowling at her Maura couldn't help but smile broadly as she replaced her glass on the table. It wasn't often that the medical examiner got one over on the detective but she did revel in the feeling when she did. She reached over the table, never breaking eye contact with those chocolate pools, and stabbed her fork into a juicy morsel. She brought it up to her lips that she was licking in anticipation, and purposefully closed her luscious lips around the fork and pulled it free.

Jane's scowl had vanished as soon as she saw those adorable dimples begin to appear on the ME's cheeks. As she reached over to collect another gross ball of snot Jane nearly gagged at the thought of one of those just floating around inside of her. She watched intently as Maura's soft lips moved as her fork brushed against them.

Maura and Jane's eyes were still locked together almost like a challenge between hazel and brown. The corners of Jane's mouth were twitching and Maura wanted to giggle again, the brunette desperately wanted to smile but was too stubborn to admit she was having a good time. Maura went to look away when she noticed Jane's eyes grow wide. The ME looked at her with concern and noted Jane's entire body language change. Her eyebrows furrowed, she sat up straighter in her chair, her lips just curving were now parted in shock, her knuckles had grown white from the intense grip she had on her cutlery and her nostrils had flared.

Maura was looking at her like something from outer space but she couldn't help it, her reaction was immediate and natural. She suddenly jumped up out of her seat and stood at the table and hovered there uncomfortably until she managed to stutter "Um, I, I have to go to the bathroom."

Maura stared at Jane perplexed. What on earth is wrong with her? "Really? We've only just come back from the bathroom..." The ME frowned at the brunette "You know excessively frequent urination or polyuria, could be a sign of a kidney infection or several other conditions, I'd be speculating of course...perhaps I should examine you."

Jane sighed exasperated "Really!?" The medical examiner nodded eagerly "Ugh, no Maura!" Jane turned and took a couple of steps away from the table before turning and looking back in horror.

Maura had turned back to the table and had opened her mouth when she heard the detective's whine.

"Maura?"

She turned back to face the brunette "Yes Jane?"

"Are you coming?" Jane was gesticulating her frustration.

Maura frowned at her "No! I don't have to go, thank you." She turned her back again.

"Maura!" It wasn't quite a shout but it certainly commanded attention.

Maura sighed heavily and turned yet again to see Jane looking at her pointedly. The ME was clueless as to what she was supposed to be doing "What?" She shrugged.

The drop dead gorgeous hunk of a man sat next to Maura leaned in close "I think she wants you to go with her." He winked seductively as the medical examiner turned her attentions to him.

"Oh..." She couldn't help but notice his warm breath on her ear and she felt her heartbeat quicken. He raised one eyebrow and she snapped back to the matter in hand "Oh!" She span in her seat and looked at Jane who was stood arms crossed impatiently. She paused before getting up out of her seat and looked up at the brunette with narrowed eyes "I will not perform my examination in the bathroom Jane I-"

"Maura!" Jane looked her furiously before storming off to the bathroom.

Jane's fair haired date sniggered into his beer and Maura blushed as she turned to address the men "Excuse me." She couldn't help but giggle as she chased after Jane.
