Horrible World, Horrible People
Mr Patrick Jane was in love, crazy in love, keep the baby in love, stupidly in love. And most importantly dangerously in love, when Patrick allowed himself to love he left himself open to many horrible things. He thought about all these horrible things as she lay asleep in his arms. There were horrible things in this world and horrible people, like Red John who could hurt her. Who would hurt her if given the chance.
She mumbled something and moved a little in her restless sleep, something must of clicked in that cop brain of hers that he was awake watching her. Even in sleep she was a hard-ass cop.
He starred at her peaceful face. She looked relaxed and safe which was what she would stay as long as he lived and as long as he was breathing, she would be safe.
She took a deep breathe, she was so perfect and quiet when she was asleep. A completely defenceless state.
"Jane." It was barely a whisper from her small mouth. Jane starred at her questioning if she really said something for it was just in his head.
A minute passed and she didn't say anything, maybe it was in his head. Another minute passed and she said nothing. Yup, in his head.
He lay next to her following the stands of her dark brown hair spread out all over the pillow.
"Jane, stop watching me sleep and get some yourself." Lisbon told him without opening her eyes and turning her body away from him.
Jane didn't reply, he simply smiled to himself and wrapped his arm around her bare waist, brushing against her toned stomach on the way. It was moments like that when he realised how small her body was. Small yet powerful, she always surprised him with her strength, inside and out.
Strength to keep herself contained, all her emotions locked down. Sometimes it seemed like she was in complete control and didn't have emotions. But really Teresa Lisbon was packed full of emotions, pumping through her tiny body millimetres under the surface.
"Seriously, Jane. Go to sleep and stop thinking, we have work tomorrow." Lisbon groined.
"How do you know that I was thinking?" Jane asked a little taken back by his lovers comments.
"Because I can always tell when you are thinking, I can feel it." Lisbon smiled still with her eyes closed.
"Always? What was I thinking about?" Jane asked happy to get a conversation going.
"Obviously me, I can always tell when your thinking about me. Im glad." Still not opening her eyes.
"You? Why you glad?" Jane asked a little confused, he didn't like it when Lisbon confused him, he liked confusing her.
"Well after tonight, I'd be annoyed if you were thinking about someone else. *cough* lorelei." Teresa was grinning again.
"Why would I think about her when I could be thinking about every day and night I get to spend with you?"
"Your such a romantic sometimes." Lisbon rolled her eyes.
Jane gave her a quick peck on the lips. "You know it. Go back to sleep, my saint."
"So you can go back to watching me?"
"Thats for me to know and you to find out."
"Good night, Jane."
"Good night, my Teresa." Jane whispered in her ear his hot breath lingering on the senses of her skin.
