Hi guys :) trying a new story would love reviews. This chapter is for Babi Baker who has been great and all the other lovely people that read and reviewed MORE THAN WORDS xxx
Anger management classes? It made me feel like punching something. Damn! That was not the sort of thing I could do anymore if I want this 6 month sentence to be shortened. As for Jane, I could kill him, I mean ... give him a severe talking to. He thinks if he flashes me a smile I will go weak at the knees, that son of a bitch. He wanders back into my office and lays down in MY couch, he knows that I am fuming I guess he just wants his ass kicked.
"are you thinking of sleeping on Qmy couch" I asked. "because from tomorrow, I'm not going to be in work as thanks to you I'm suspended".
"meh.. It will do you good, even the mighty Teresa Lisbon needs a break" he replied cheerfully. Too cheerfully I thought.
"Yes well next time I would like to chose when my breaks will be rather than having them forced upon myself. You could have at least told me what you were doing so I could be on damage control".
"I'm sorry my dear" he said and I couldn't help but notice it seemed heartfelt. "If it is any consolation you can come round to mine for dinner tomorrow, I can make that prawn stir-fry that you enjoy so much". I pretended to consider the matter while my head screamed at me just say yes!
"okay then. That sounds... nice I guess." acting isn't one of my strong points it never plays off in one of Janes subterfuges. And I could see that Jane knew I was trying to act uninterested. How did I end up with such a smart ass consultant. I mean a clever, diligent consultant. Jeez this being nice to people thing was hard.
I walked down to my car, ashamed to face the rest of the team, although I'm sure they will figure out what I did was for Jane. He owes me big time. La Roche already hates me, and to be honest I don't like him either. But catching this burglar meant a lot to him and Jane means a lot to me so I guess my actions were necessary. Hmm maybe a week off would do me good. Jane is always saying I should relax more, but that probably means that he wants to get his devious schemes past me more easily. I'll miss the team but sometimes Cho's sarcastic humour, Van Pelt's over eagerness and Rigsby's goofiness could become a little over powering. It would be easier to control a bunch of five year olds, at least you could bribe them with chocolate. Well that might work on Rigsby...How had Jane referred to me earlier? "the MIGHTY Teresa Lisbon" maybe he does consider me as more than just his boss. If only, Actually I don't think he understands authority. In his mind I am Watson to his Sherlock, good old reliable Watson eh. Never in the limelight but always there, not like golden boy back there. I needed to get back at him, but how? I didn't need money, or favours, I wanted to hurt his ego, BADLY make him grovel, and beg for my forgiveness.
Dammit! I've missed the turn off for my apartment. I was so set on wreaking my revenge in Jane, I forgotten everything else. I had to turn around a couple of miles down the road when it hit me. I was going to make Jane fall in love with me and then break his heart, that would take him down a few notches. That son of a bitch is gonna regret the first time he set eyes on me. Plus I had the perfect opportunity, tomorrow night at his.
For a moment I questioned my sanity. Was Jane rubbing off on me? Maybe the anger management classes where what I needed for my life to return to normal. But for the next week my life was not gong to be normal and I could allow myself a break from reality, as they say 'let my hair down'.
