Chapter 1

Hello everyone. This is my first fanfic ever. I always wondered how Jane and Lisbon spent their first two weeks after getting together. So I made up a story about it. Hope you guys like it. Reviews are appreciated. I don't own the Mentalist. And sadly, will never own it.

"Say it again."

"Say what again?"

Lisbon looked at him with raised eyebrows and a hint of amusement on her face. But then Jane slowly rose from his chair and leaned towards her. His injured ankle still on the other chair he slowly took her chin. Lisbon could only close her eyes with her lips slightly parted. They kissed gently at first. Lisbon took his right cheek in her hand as they continued kissing.

The TSA agent knocked on the window angrily and yelled, "Hey! Quit that!"

But both of them were in their own little world as they kept kissing softly. They smiled shyly at each other for a moment and then Jane sat back on his chair with one last peck. His ankle could only bear much strain after all.

"You need me to say that again?"

Lisbon blushed as he smirked at her. After a moment she asked, "How long till you can leave?"

"Abbott will need to sort things out here."

"Oh I need to talk to him about my transfer… retransfer…" Lisbon was a bit embarrassed.

"Teresa, as soon as he sees you here, he'll know your decision. Probably already knows." Jane stated with a grin.

Once again Lisbon's cheeks colored.

Suddenly serious Jane began, "Teresa you know how I feel about you. But I want to tell you that this is not just because I didn't wanted you to go to DC, I… I mean I didn't express my feelings only because I wanted you to stay, but because I really meant all of what I said. And I probably should have said this a long time ago. But you leaving me just…"

"Jane…"

He sighed. He knew he was rambling.

Amused, "Yeah it's interesting seeing you like this."

"All thanks to you, woman."

She laughed a bit at that. Oh, how he missed seeing her dimples. He promised himself he would make Teresa Lisbon smile and laugh whole-heartedly every chance he could muster.

Realizing Jane was observing her, she suddenly became conscious. "What?"

"Just missed seeing you like this. You haven't smiled like this recently. Not in front of me at least."

She sighed, "Yeah I haven't, have I?"

Jane smiled a bit realizing that Lisbon didn't mention that Pike made her smile truly and fully. 'Hmm, maybe she wasn't happy with Pike after all (or she did try but couldn't be)' he thought to himself. 'Ofcourse she wouldn't be here with you if that was the case you dumbass!'

"Jane, you are staring again."

"Just appreciating the sight, it's a nice change after all those TSA agents."

Blushing, "Jane! Stop it."

"You my dear, look wonderful when blushing."

She took his hand in hers, looking lovingly at him.

Jane's stomach rumbled and Lisbon gave a smile. He remembered he hadn't eaten anything after last morning's breakfast and tea. Dinner didn't go as planned. But everything was so worth it. Everything was worth this beautiful woman sitting in front of him holding his hand and smiling, choosing him, LOVING him!

"Hungry Jane?"

"Yeah." Hers rumbled too. She shook her head, amused.

"Once you're cleared we'll have a bite at the Blue Bird."

"The Blue Bird?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah why not?"

"I thought you wouldn't want to go back there after…"

She interrupted, "Well someone promised me a great dinner. But I can work with lunch too."

Jane grinned at that. "Then lunch you shall have, my lady!"

They kept looking at each other but refrained from kissing again. Jane didn't need more trouble after all. Although he hoped Abbott arrived soon to release him. Then he would finally express his feelings the way he should have expressed a long time ago.

But he settled for a simple statement, for now.

"I love you, Teresa Lisbon."

"I know. I do too, Jane."
