Chapter 1
Maura's POV
In the few years that she had known Jane, there had only been a couple of occasions when Maura could not figure out what was troubling the detective. This was one of them. "I have to work out what's upset her" the chief medical examiner thought to herself. It had all started on Friday night at the dirty robber. Jane and Maura had gone there for a drink after work and were soon joined by Korsak, Frost and Frankie. It was just a typical Friday night. Later on in the evening, Jane's younger brother Tommy showed up with a couple of his friends who were having an evening out whilst Angela was taking care of TJ. The group expanded and several drinks later Tommy suggested they play his favourite childhood game of Spin the bottle, hoping that he would have a chance at kissing Maura who he had not-so-secretly been attracted to for a while. As it was his idea, Tommy took first go, he spun the bottle and it landed on Frost. Disappointed that it wasn't Maura, he awkwardly pecked Frost on the lips, much to the amusement of the rest of the group. Next was Frost's turn, this time the bottle landed on Maura. The pair had to lean over Jane to have their kiss and as soon as it was over she got up and stormed out of the building. Maura remebered watching her leaving, thinking it was strange that she had left without saying anything. She sent Jane a quick text to make sure she got home safely and went on enjoying the evening.
Jane's POV
Jane slammed the door of her apartment shut behind her. Her heart was racing and she was shaking with anger. She couldn't understand why she had got so angry at the sight of her partner and her best friend kissing. "It was just a game" she muttered to herself as she reached in her pocket to check her phone. She had a text from Maura asking her if she had got home safely but decided to ignore it, not feeling in the mood to talk to her. "Why am I so pissed at her?! She hasn't actually done anything wrong" the detective thought to herself. Thinking back over the evenings events all she could focus on was the kiss between Frost and Maura, she had watched it happen, staring longingly at Maura's beautiful full lips with jealousy as her partner went in for the kiss. "But why am I jealous?! She's my best friend who is gorgeous and single and should be allowed to kiss whoever she wants! Why does it bother me so much?!" Jane couldn't understand what had made her react the way she did but all of a sudden she hated the idea of anyone getting close to Maura, being able to stare into her beautiful eyes and kiss those lucious lips. "Stop thinking about your best friend in that way Rizzoli!" the detective shouted to herself to try to snap out of it. But the harder she tried the more she thought about her desire for Maura. She went over to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of beer, she chugged it down in one. "Am I really attracted to my best friend?!"
Maura's POV
She hadn't heared from Jane all weekend and then this morning, when they had briefly bumped into each other in the cafe at work, Jane had been moody and awkward like she was trying to get away. "I don't understand" Maura thought, " Why is she being like this over a game of spin the bottle." She couldn't concentrate on the autopsy of the day because she couldn't stop worrying about Jane. "Was she really ignoring me because I kissed Barry?!" she wondered. "Her behaviour was showing signs of jealousy, and if that was the case then she must be mad at me because she wanted to be the one to kiss Barry, because she fancies him!" The realisation shocked Maura, Jane had never mentioned any romantic interest in Frost, although Maura could understand why she would be attracted to her partner. She couldn't stand the thought of Jane being angry with her. "There's only one way I can fix things, I'll set them up on a date and then Jane will have to forgive me!" Maura thought to herself, planning how to get the two detectives together.
