Phone Call
Lisbon has been absent from the CBI for already one week now. Since she had to leave for three weeks to do a traineeship, she left her team with agent Johnson known for being one of the coolest agent from the CBI. But keeping cool with Patrick Jane as consultant was-let's face it- impossible! Which is why Lisbon picked up her phone, even though she had a meeting, when she saw agent Johnson's ID appeared on her phone.
-Lisbon, what's wrong?
-Agent Lisbon, how the hell do you manage to work every single day with Patrick Jane?!
She sighed.
-What did he do now?
-Oh no big deal, just threatening the most famous and powerful DA of the country! You know the usual stuff.
Oh crap. She rubbed her eyes.
-I am so sorry agent, let me talk to him and fix that.
-You must or this is my entire career falling apart and count on me to bring Jane down with me!
-Of course agent, I understand.
Then she waited until she heard the happy voice of her horrible consultant.
-Morning Lisbon!
The fact that she could hear the smile in his voice made her even more angry.
-What the hell Jane?! What did I told you before leaving one week ago?
-To not cause any trouble?
-Exactly! And now Johnson is telling me that you threatened the most powerful DA of the country! I swear to god Jane if you don't apologize to the DA and Johnson in the next 4 hours I will shoot you!
-Wow calm down woman, it was only to solve the case.
-At least, please, tell me that it worked?
No answer...
-Damn it Jane!
-Hey it wasn't my fault! Everything was working just fine until Johnson came in the line. He is so annoying! And I don't like him anyway.
-You don't like anyone Jane.
-Wrong, I like you. When do you come back anyway? I miss you.
Lisbon was glad that Jane couldn't see her blushing right now. She was touched but she couldn't let him win, she had to stay angry.
-Well I don't miss you at all. Actually it's pretty good to be far away from my pain-in-the-ass consultant for some times. It almost feels like vacation!
She grinned.
-Aw com'on Lisbon, we both know that your life would be boring without me.
She rolled her eyes.
-Oh really? How can you be so sure about that?
-Because I know that deep down you are so in love with me.
She laughed.
-And the fact that I can make you blush proves me right.
-I'm not blushing Jane.
-No, but you were when I told you I liked you.
-How did you...i was not blushing!
-Gotcha! You are a terrible liar Lisbon.
Now she could hear him smirk and her anger came back.
-I said I was not blushing Jane! And I am, thank god, certainly not in love with you! Actually I hate you! Yes I hate you Patrick Jane and you have no idea of how many times I have dreamed of killing you in your sleep!
-Aw so you dream of me Lisbon?
-No!
He laughed and she closed her eyes trying to avoid a headache.
-Com'on Lisbon I'm sorry. I didn't mean for you to get a headache but it was so funny!
-Yeah because making my life a living hell just for your sake is so damn funny.
-I'm sorry Lisbon.
-Whatever Jane. Go apologize to the DA and Johnson.
-I will but it's only because this is you.
-No, you will because you don't have the choice.
-Hey Lisbon?
-What?
-So...is it true?
-What is true?
-You're in love with me?
-Screw you Jane!
She was about to hang up the phone when she heard his voice again.
-Teresa?
-What now?! No, you know what?! I don't care, you can go to hell!
Then she hanged up. It was sad to think that if she hadn't hang up the phone, she would have heard one of the most honest and beautiful thing Patrick Jane ever said to her.
-I love you too.
The End
