After the awesome feedback I got back from "Finding Peace", I decided to start the sequel asap. This is going to be a bit different; notice the rating change. I figured I'd be on the safe side. Thank you all in advance for reading!
"Careful, careful, you don't want to end up breaking anything just by helping me move Frankie." Jane stated as she held the door open for her brother.
"I still don't understand why I am the one that's getting all the crap out of your car when you are the one that's moving!"
"You remember that mattress you never moved?" A frown came over her brother as he thought of the drug trafficker he'd drooled over. "Yeah, that's why. Now move it." She replied as she followed him into the storage unit.
"I still don't understand why you just don't give some of this stuff to charity. What's the big deal about getting a storage unit? The only things you're taking with you to Maura's are practically just your clothes and sports memorabilia."
"That's because everything else I don't need. Maura's house, our house, is great as it is. Everything else was just stuff, Frankie, necessities at the time. But Maura already has all of that, and more. We both know her taste is much better than mine. There's no point in having two of everything. Now if there's something you'd like to take for yourself, you know you're more than welcome to it, until she kicks me to the curb that is." Jane chuckled at that last statement.
"Well thank you sis, I'll take you up on that. Don't jinx yourself. I see you and Maura doing the happily ever after and all that sweet crap. Who knows? Maybe I'll be your best man someday…"
Jane laughed. "We'll cross that bridge when we get there Frankie. Come on, we got some more boxes to haul in here…"
Maura had a late lunch cooked and ready for the Rizzoli siblings once they were able to make it back to the house. She figured the least she could do to thank Frankie for giving Jane a hand was offer him a clean shower and a home-cooked meal. The three laughed and chatted about the day's events and work, keeping the conversation light.
Frankie just rolled his eyes teasingly each time Jane and Maura finished each other's sentences or laughed at a joke that apparently only the two knew. This was a step in the right direction for his sister and he couldn't be happier for the both of them. The time he'd come to spend with the blonde had made him see just how wonderful of a person she truly was, and he knew she was the right fit for Jane. He was happy that his sister had finally found her other half. Knowing that this would be their first 'official' night living together and not wanting to intrude, he quickly bade them goodbye after lunch and took off, making sure to call his mother and made plans to keep her occupied the rest of the evening so as to give the two women some privacy.
"So, are you glad that you finally got everything you needed to get moved, moved?" Maura asked.
"I'm relieved more than anything else. I hate moving, but if that's what it took to move into a house with a gorgeous woman I'm lucky enough to call my girlfriend, then I gladly endured the sacrifice." Jane tease.
She walked up to Maura and hugged her around her waist.
"You know I'm very happy to be here. I'm ecstatic that you want me here permanently."
"I want you here forever with me, Jane. I love this already and only wish we would've done it sooner."
"We never want to rush into things, love. Stuff has to come at its own pace. I think we're doing really well so far." Jane replied, as she invaded Maura's space and kissed her lips softly.
The shorter woman embraced her lover and deepened the kiss. What started off as an innocent kiss quickly turned into a heated, passionate exchange, a declaration of love that left both women wanting so much more.
"I have to agree; we're doing quite well." Maura said after she managed to catch her breath. "I believe, however, that there is something we're going to have to do..."
"Oh yeah? What's that?" Jane asked, her fingers running through her girlfriend's hair.
"I think the master bedroom needs to be properly christened as ours, don't you?"
With that, Maura turned, and seductively walked away from Jane and down the hallway leading to the bedroom.
God, do I love that woman.
