Maura smiled as she walked in the front door of her Beacon Hill home, Jane was walking in front of her and struggling to get the zip undone on the back of her dress. Well in actual fact it was Maura's dress but they had swapped clothing half way through the day.
"We need to swap back Maur' ", the Detective half whined to the Medical Examiner, she clearly didn't feel as comfortable in the clothing as Maura had, despite the fact that the dress looked amazing on the dark haired Italian woman.
The honey blonde shrugged her shoulders, "I'm not so sure", she said softly, making the other woman turn quickly to look at her in shock and with wide eyes that awaited further explanation.
Maura simply smiled, "I got hit on twice today", she revealed, before walking past the woman, a smirk appeared on her face as she finished her sentence, "By women".
The Italian's jaw dropped at the words, and her hands froze with the zip half way down her back which caused the dress to be loose on her slim and toned body.
The Medical Examiner simply continued walking into the kitchen with a smirk pasted on her face, and listened out for the frozen woman who was bound to follow.
It took her a few minutes to fully comprehend what the other woman had said before she could get her brain to function enough in order to follow. The soft sound of her feet padding along the hallway was the only sound other than the clink of a beer bottle touching the surface of the kitchen island, and the sound of a wine glass being filled with wine. The woman's shoes had been discarded at the door before the revelation from Maura.
"So… you don't want to give me back my clothes… because you like women hitting on you?", she enquired with a hint of confusion in her tone of voice and the same confusion painted across her features.
Maura smiled at the woman as she handed the beer to her, she hadn't bothered putting it in a glass like she had tried the first few times and the condensation from the bottle ran down the glass onto the Detective's hand as she took it from her. "Yes", she said simply as though it were the most ordinary question that a friend asks a friend.
Jane's eyebrows shot higher, "Erm…", she paused, unsure as to what to say next.
A soft laugh escaped from the lipstick painted lips of the Medical Examiner, "I am hypothesising that your confusion stems from the assumption that I am heterosexual? Am I right?".
"You're guessing", was the only response that the curly haired woman could form, and she herself chuckled in return, finding that fact rather amusing.
Maura shook her head, "Hypothesising", she corrected, "I am basing it on previous experiences and conversations with you as well as your current state of confusion to what I said".
Slowly nodding, she smirked, "Still guessed", she said softly.
This time she didn't bother to try and correct the Italian woman in her kitchen and instead returned to her original question, "Does your confusion stem from the assumption that I am… 'straight' ?", she asked with a tilt of her head and using the slang term rather than the usual terminology that she would use.
Jane bit her lip gently and nodded, "Yeah.. .I.. suppose", she replied slowly before taking a rather large gulp of the alcoholic beverage she had in her right hand.
The Medical Examiner shook her head and with the wine glass in her left hand, her right hand reached up to touch the other woman's cheek, "What have I told you about guessing?", she said softly.
Running her hand through her dark curls she sighed softly, "So erm… these women… did you get any numbers?", she asked with a cheeky looking grin.
Maura laughed at the question, and nodded, "I already had the number of the woman I would like to date", she said softly, "Before she saw me dressed like this".
"Ah so she was checking you out even before you stole my clothes", she said with a smile and a shake of her head. She had wanted to be with Maura for a very long time but assuming the woman was straight because she had no evidence to prove otherwise had meant that she didn't ask her out. She was afraid that Maura would say no and then she would lose the best friendship that she had ever had. Now she knew that Maura in fact was attracted to women, she couldn't help but feel jealous at the idea of this 'other woman'.
She nodded with a grin, "Yes she did", she said softly and seeming rather happy with that fact.
Jane bit her lip gently and at the same time bit back her jealousy, "You should give her a call.. see if she'll go out on that date with you".
The honey blonde woman smiled, and nodded, "That sounds like a great idea, thank you Jane", she said softly.
"I'll erm… see you in the front room", Jane said softly, "I'll find that documentary on the DVR for you and order the pizza".
Once Jane had left, Maura picked up her phone and hit speed dial '1', with a couple of rings, Jane answered, "Erm Maur'?", she said softly, "I think you called the wrong number…". She said with amusement looking at the other woman from her position on the couch.
The Chief Medical Examiner shook her head as she looked at her, the phone still in her hand and against her ear, despite the fact that they were face to face, "No I didn't Jane", she said softly.
