AN: I couldn't leave them all hugging and smiley without doing anything! I'd like to know what you think and if I should continue this ;)
"So… I'll see you two in the morning…" said Maura to Jane and Frankie who had come to an alt with his bike
Frankie nodded and smiled.
Jane nodded at Maura "Do you want me to take you home..? My car's right there…" said Jane
Maura smiled "Ok…"
"And I'll see you around Mr. and Mrs. Rizzoli…." Said Maura looking at Jane and Frankie's parents
"Maura, why don't you come to us for dinner? I'll cook pasta!" suggested Angela Rizzoli while walking towards the cars.
"Thanks Angela, I'd love to… but I think I need to shower and change first" replied Maura smiling
"Well I don't see where the problem is!… You could go to Jane's, shower and then you two can come to dinner…" explained Angela like this was so obvious to anyone.
Jane shrugged and Maura nodded "Ok…"
"See you later then…" said the Frank Rizzoli
Angela waved at them and Frankie nodded.
Jane and Maura entered in Jane's car. Jane looked at the doctor
"I bet you want to go to your apartment first and take one of your lovely signed outfits... Am I right?" teased Jane
Maura smiled softly at Jane "You know me too well…"
Jane chuckled and started the car
"I can't wait to pull off this damn P.U.K.E sweat suit…" muttered Jane making Maura smile silently. She knew that Jane didn't like the outfit but the truth was that Maura loved to see her friend dressed like that for her.
After a short stop at Maura's they went to Jane's.
Jane opened the door of her apartment and Jo Friday came rushing to them all happy and barking.
"Hey! We're home!" said Jane hugging the little dog and petting her.
Maura smiled seeing this side of her friend and bent down to pat the dog's head
"Can I shower first?" asked Maura as she caressed Jo Friday
Jane looked at her and nodded "Yes, yes… I'll be waiting here… And don't use all the hot water Dr. Isles!" joked Jane as she went to feed Jo Friday in the kitchen
Maura shook her head smiling. She entered the bathroom and closed the door. The day had been exhausting but being with Jane was always a good excuse to not be tired. She loved their time together. Quietly she stripped off her running suit and snickers and entered the shower. She let the hot water massage her sore muscles. She shampooed her hair and sighed contentedly.
How I wish Jane was here with me… she thought smiling. It felt good to hug her like that, she thought as she recalled Jane's arms around her and how good it had felt to lean into her, smelling her shampoo and…
As soon as her scientific mind registered her thoughts she opened her eyes and stopped her administrations, What the heck was that?, she asked herself.
Did I really want Jane here with me? She asked blushing furiously as her mind began presenting to her flashes of her and Jane in the shower together.
I think it'll be better if I turn the water cold… Maura said to no one, trying desperately to not think about a naked Jane.
After finishing the shower she stepped out and wrapper herself in a towel. She exited the bathroom and went to Jane's bedroom and found her friend with her back at her staring intently inside her wardrobe.
Maura stood there unable to say anything…she just remained there staring at Jane perfect figure, clad only in her sports bra and panties.
God… I need to stop this… what's going on with me… maybe it's the run; yes it has to be… It's… her thoughts were interrupted by Jane sudden proximity and she felt Jane's hands on her nude and still wet shoulder
"Maura…? Are you all right?"
Maura blinked and looked at Jane "Oh, yes … I'm ok… thanks…"
Jane looked at her worried "You spaced out…"
Maura sighed "Yes… I think it's the run.. it has to be the run…" muttered Maura sitting on Jane's bed
Jane shrugged "Listen… I need to shower now… We can talk later ok?"
Maura nodded and watched Jane perfect's ass leave the room. She continued mumbling to herself "Running can also have psychological benefits, as many participants in the sport report feeling an elated, euphoric state, often referred to as a "runner's high"…. That's it! Runner's high!"
She stood up and proceeded to dress for dinner at Rizzoli's.
