Little Black Dress
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing!
This came from an idea that a friend and I were discussing on twitter. I have to give some credit to TeamSashaAlexander.
Chapter 1: Gorgeous
"You're kidding. You really don't know?" Maura asked, smiling as she admired Jane in her little black dress, allowing her eyes to trail over and take in the sight of the Detective's lithe body. What with her well-developed biceps, triceps, and overall body structure, Maura couldn't help but take notice to how amazing her friend looked. "Oh, how I'd love to see, to feel, to taste the skin, which lies underneath that silky smooth, tantalizing fabric," Maura had to remember to breathe as her pulse quickened at the thought. Jane stayed silent, looking at Maura, waiting for her to continue.
"You are gorgeous, Jane! I never thought I'd see you in a dress, now here you are standing before me oblivious to how much I love and adore you. You have absolutely no idea what you do to me, Jane." Maura wanted to say, but instead said, "You are gorgeous, my friend."
After a few more minutes of witty banter, Jane set down her cup on the clean autopsy table. "Well, I'm off to do my gum-shoe thing!" she said exasperated. Maura smiled, though she felt a twinge of sadness at the thought of her friend leaving so soon. "Wish me luck!" Jane said, walking out of the room. "Good luck," Maura sighed.
* After the case was solved… *
Jane stood with her back against the door as she let the tears roll down her cheeks. She was trembling, inside and out, not only because she's just been out in the rain but because she'd almost kissed Joe Grant.
"Why didn't I kiss him? I wanted to, but I couldn't. Why?" Jane's thought were interrupted as her phone started to ring. It was Maura's ringtone. She quickly answered it filled immediately with comfort as she heard the smooth, silky voice of her friend, who she so desperately wanted to be close to at the moment.
"Jane?" Maura said, concern lacing her voice. "Yeah, I'm here." Jane responded. "Are you ok? You didn't answer your phone the first two times and I thought something might've happened, since you didn't call back and—"Maura was cut off by Jane. "Maura, I'm fine," Jane lied. "You're lying to me, Jane," Maura said softly. Even over the phone she could tell. That made Jane's already heavy heart that much heavier. At Jane's silence, Maura tried to comfort her friend.
"You know you can talk to me, Jane. Whenever you need me, I'm here for you." Maura said her voice barely above a whisper. Jane felt a familiar sense of adoration and love for her friend. She was tired, but did not want to spend the night alone.
"Hey, Maur? Can I stay with you tonight?" Jane asked. "Of course, Jane. I'd love your company," Maura answered. Jane smiled. "I'll be over in a bit. Just gotta grab a few things first." Jane said. "Ok. I'll be here," Maura responded, a smile in her voice.
