Today's case was really difficult for her . Since she was dating Pike tension between her and Jane was overwhelming . Teresa had no idea if moving to DC with
Marcus was a good decision, but sh couldn't wait any longer. She was aware that her relationship with agent Pike got serious too soon like if she wanted to
run away from something as soon as possible.
Pike just left her bathroom. He was wearing jeans and black t-shirt. His hair were still wet. The truth was Marcus was really attractive but it wasn't enough.
"Are you leaving ?" She surprised herself with her disappointed tone.
"Yeah, I got a call from work. We've got new case. I really have to go. Sorry Teresa"
She could tell that he was being honest. They were supposed to spend this evening together and he hated leaving her alone like that. He was amazing,
lovable , he was a real keeper. Lisbon felt safe with him and she hated herself for being unable to love him. He was a full package but she preferred
blonde,damaged one. She still had hope that one day she will wake up in love with Pike. After all he was a good man and he deserved it. He kissed her
forehead and left .
Lisbon poured herself a glass of wine and took a small box from her closet. It was full of letters from Jane. Yeah, she kept them..all of them. She knew all of
them by heart but it didn't matter ,they gave her hope that maybe Jane had feeling for her.
"I'm sorry for everything Teresa"
"I wish you were here"
"My house has an amazing view. You would love it:
"You have no idea how much I miss you "
With every new letter she could noticed how fast he's becoming a new, better person. Without this darkness he seemed happy. She wanted to believe that he
was writing from the bottom of his heart.
She was reminiscing again , how much they went trough for a decade in CBI. He's always been the closest person for her. She'd do anything for him,even when
consequences could destroyed her carrier and life. She was ready to go and kill Red John just to be there for him.
Lisbon thought that universe must hate her today. Her radio stopped playing jazz music and started to play " More than Words"
"I used to love this song"
"You love this song"
"Yeah"
"Obviously you want to dance"
"With you? No ! " .
She will never forget when they danced together for the first time. It was really special, intimate
moment for her. Her journey into the past was interrupted by a door bell. She hide the box under her couch and went to check who came to her so late. It was
Jane with takeout food.
"Hey" she smiled at him. Universe was laughing at her and tried to show her that by moving away she
will make the biggest mistake in her life.
He smiled warmly when he met her gaze . Jane seemed stressed to her.
"Hey. I brought cannoli "
" Great, I"m starving. " she said at let him inside.
"Where's Pike? " He asked , there was a touch of hesitation in his voice.
"Out, at work" she explained , Lisbon didn't want to talk about her fiance, not with Jane.
He seemed relieved. They came to the kitchen . He took off his jacket and rolled up sleeves in his
shirt.
" Sit Teresa . I'll prepare it "
He was always such a gentleman. Since day one. Lisbon decided not to fight with him about it this
time and she just sat on one of the kitchen cabinets. She couldn't stop admiring him, she should though. It wasn't fair ..but Lisbon decided to stop thinking
about Pike for now and enjoy time shared with her best friend. It was one of their last nights together, last meal, last movie.
Everything was coming to an end and it was really painful.
"Stop staring at me and make some tea." he look amused by the fact that she was watching him in silent for over 10 minutes. Lisbon laughed and stabbed him
playfully with her elbow. She wanted to make some tea but she realized that she has no idea where she kept it. After living here
almost 6 months she was still lost sometimes.
"Bottom cabinet, on the left" he whispered but she heard him perfectly.
She couldn't help but laugh.
"Thank you very much, I would be helpless without your memory palace"
"How many times I have to say that sarcasm doesn't suit you at all? I'm sure you will be fine
without me in DC. Don't worry " she could say that he's being dishonest.
"Don't be like that" she asked.
They didn't even noticed when they moved her conversation to Lisbon's salon .
"What do you mean by that?"
he asked her harshly
She couldn't remember when was the last time when he wasn't nice for her.
"You said that you're okay with me leaving and that you're happy for me" She wasn't sure if she was
trying to remind him about that or if she was trying convinced herself .
He came closer, she noticed that he smelled amazing as usual. Like tea and ocean. It made her a little
dizzy.
"What if I changed my mind? I don't want you to leave. Stay here. With me"
Those couple words made her life even more complicated . Couple seconds, couple words changed
everything
