This is my fist 'The Mentalist' fic. I'm sorry if I don't get the characters right. This is an extended scene from episode 11 season 2, where Patrick and Teresa dance. And away we go…
Patrick Jane and Teresa Lisbon swayed slowly to the music. Her small hand covered by his large hand. Patrick's right arm was wrapped around her waist and his hand rested on her back. Teresa's hand rested gently on his shoulder, her head on his other. She closed her eyes and simply enjoyed the feeling of her partners arms wrapped around her.
"Trumpet?" Patrick asked, trying to guess which instrument Teresa played in high school.
"No" Teresa gently shook her head. Patrick rested his head on top of hers and pulled her closer.
"Cello?"
"Nope" Teresa answered popping to 'p' "I already told you you'd never guess."
"I'm sure I can" Patrick answered. He brought this hand that was holding Teresa's to his neck, where he let it go. She locked her hands behind his neck and he slipped his hand down to hold onto her waist. "Viola"
"No" Teresa shook her head again. She opened her eyes and looked around and realised that they were the only ones on the dance floor. "Patrick…everyone's gone"
"Yeah I know…but the song isn't finished yet." Patrick answered. Teresa closed her eyes again.
"Electric guitar" She whispered her admission.
"You played electric guitar?" Patrick asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, I was in a band"
"Hmm really. What can you play?"
"A lot. Sweet Child of Mine, Ziggy Stardust, Wild Thing and many many more." Teresa said. The song stopped but they didn't stop dancing.
"I never saw you as a guitar person. Personally I played the drums." Patrick said.
"Really…I wonder if anyone else plays instruments…we could have a band." Teresa and Patrick both laughed.
"Yeah we could. What would we call ourselves?"
"Accidently on purpose." Teresa offered.
"Mistaken Identity" Patrick threw back.
"Teresa, Patrick and Co."
"I like that one. Except maybe Patrick Teresa and Co." Patrick said.
"Nah I don't like that." Teresa thought for a moment "Angels and Demons." Patrick thought but couldn't think of anything else.
"I got nothing." He pulled away from his partner and smiled at her. " I would be happy to carry your books for you."
"As I would be happy to go to your football matches and cheer you on" Patrick leant down and kissed Teresa on the cheek.
"I'm glad I didn't go to high school, because none of the dances I would've had would have been as great as the one I just had with you." Patrick admitted.
"I'm glad I skipped my prom." Teresa smiled shyly. "Thankyou for dancing with me Patrick."
"The pleasure was all mine."
