Consultant Patrick Jane lay along the rather smooth, light brown couch he claimed to be his, as he dozed in and out of consciousness. Eventually sleep caught Jane and he sunk a little deeper into the couch, but it didn't matter, that was another case closed.
Electricity shot up Jane's forearm at the soft and cautious touch of a rather small, dark haired women with bright green eyes and an atmosphere of authority and control. Patrick Jane woke with a startle as his eyes locked with special agent Teresa Lisbon's and his stomach took a plunge simultaneously. They both froze; unaware of their surroundings. With one swift glance of Lisbon's eyes, she established that the coast was clear and turned her gaze to meet Patrick's once more.
"Can I talk to you in my office for a moment Jane?" Lisbon whispered in anticipation and turned towards her office without waiting for the answer. She walked straight through her office door with Jane hot on her heels behind her. Jane gently closed the door behind him before Lisbon spun on the spot to face him, a little closer to her consultant than first anticipated. A smile bigger than before appeared on both of their faces at the situation they now had themselves in. Lisbon inched forward until she was pressed up against Jane with her hands resting on his pin striped vest, she always had a thing for vests on very attractive men. They both sank into each other, both relaxed and stimulated by the presence of the other. Lisbon's eager lips found the warm, soft and slightly parted lips of Patrick Jane. She could feel him smile before their kiss became more passionate and less appropriate for her office. They reluctantly parted and both took a second the group their thoughts once again.
"Uh, you wanted me Lisbon?" Jane said with a slightly cheeky half smile.
"Oh yeah" Lisbon said as she felt the blood rise to the surface of her cheeks giving it the slightly rosy colour that Jane had a soft spot for. She soon straightened up back to her old witty self and said,
"Dinner tonight. I will pick you up at 7". Jane was slightly shocked, and Lisbon could see it in his eyes making her cheeks turn back to their previous colour. Sure, he and Lisbon has kissed a few times in her office when nobody was around and they were always flirting, Lisbon would let Jane get away with anything and Jane reserved his brightest smile for the sight of her petite and strong character, but dinner tonight was a date and although he was out of practice a date meant serious stuff, plus he still wore a wedding ring on his left hand which hung heavier than usual at Lisbon's words.
Without a lot of though Jane found himself replying to Lisbon with a smile and,
" What about I will pick you up at 7? You better be ready".
Lisbon's face lit up and then Jane saw the realization in her face too.
Jane and Lisbon were going on a date.
Jane turned and left her office feeling rather light and yet nervous. What was he doing, Patrick Jane never got nervous he thought to himself. But then again, Patrick Jane didn't go on dates.
