My first Rizzoli story! There's going to be a lot of romance and forbidden love involved! Hopefully quite a heartfelt and 'tear-jerking' story! Please review, I'd love to hear any idea's that you may have as the story progresses or even just a smiley face! Thankyou! Xo
"Jane, what are you doing here it's late?" Maura was wearing a grey silk nighty along with her favourite pair white slippers perfectly moulded in order to support her arches. Yes they were just slippers, but this was Maura Isles. Everything had to be perfect.
"I'm so sorry Maura, I don't know where else to go... I..." The rain was fast outside and the walk from her car to Maura's house had left her drenched. Her hair had bunched into tight black curls, water was running down her neck and settling on her chest. She was wearing her usual attire, black trousers, a white shirt and a white vest top underneath.
"You're having nightmares again aren't you Jane? Come in, it's freezing outside." Maura stepped aside allowing her to enter. Maura's house was pristine, Jane was always amazed with the sheer cleanliness and beauty of her home, it was always immaculate. the walls were painted with warm and neutral colours which gave it a very home like fee. Which Jane loved so much.
"I'm sorry Maur, I should have called. I've just... I'm so tired Maur. Every time I close my eyes I see that bastard." Jane pushed her hands towards her face and dragged her fingers along her cheeks which left slight red marks due to how cold she still was.
Maura placed her hand on Jane's shoulder and squeezed gently, "Jane, Hoyt's gone. He can never hurt you again! Why have the nightmares started again?"
"I know, I know Maur. I just see him. Everywhere. I mean even throughout the day, I keep seeing him in crowds of people and when I look back he's gone. Maur I think I'm losing it. Do you mind if I stay over?" Jane rubbed her right hand across her forehead once more and sighed.
"No of course not! I'm glad you came here, I like having you over Jane. You're not crazy, the likely hood of psychosis in this late an onset is les than one in one-thousand. It is likely that you are suffering from anxiety paranoia which can be easily treated by-"
"-Maur. Quit it with all the mumbo jumbo talk. And thanks..." Jane shook her head towards Maura and stifled a laugh.
"Sorry, you know how my brain works. I'll stop. Now come and get some clean clothes on and go to bed. It's late and you'll likely catch a cold in those clothes. I believe that you have some clothes still here which you left from last time." Maura locked the door and pointed Jane in the direction of the guest bedroom.
"Okay, thanks again Maur, I don't know what I'd do without you." Jane happily trotted off in the direction of the guest bedroom, knowing that she could finally have a good nights sleep in Maura's home. Being around Maura changed Jane, she felt so safe and secure around her best friend that she didn't want to be around anyone else. Their relationship was like nothing she had experienced before.
Ten minutes had passed and Maura decided to check on Jane before she went to bed, she knocked on the guest bedroom door twice and let herself in, "you found them then?"
"Yes I did thanks! I forgot I had these clothes here," Jane jumped onto the bed and crossed her legs facing Maura.
"I'm glad you did. Well you get to sleep, I'm going to go now too" Maura smiled warmly at Jane, seeing Jane sat in front of her so innocent sent goosebumps down the back of her neck. Maura had never had a best friend before and was unsure what it was suppose to be like, but she knew that every time she saw Jane her heart fluttered inside her chest. (which obviously she knew was physically impossible.)
"Maura wait..." Jane paused for a minute not knowing wether she had said that aloud or not.
"What's wrong Jane?" She stopped in the doorway and turned to face her.
"Oh.. Um it doesn't matter sorry, go to bed. Night." Jane mentally slapped herself, she didn't even know what she wanted from Maura.
"Oh, okay. Goodnight Jane. If you need anything you may come into my room, I don't mind" Maura smiled at Jane and then turned to walk out of the door, closing it behind her. Somewhere deep inside of Maura was hoping that Jane would need her at some point in the night.
"Jane Rizzoli what are you doing!" She whispered to herself before subconsciously rolling her eyes at her idiocy. Did she want Maura to stay with her? They were just friends. Jane pushed her feelings aside knowing that it was probably her fear of seeing Hoyt again that was hoping Maura would stay and not any attraction to her.
Jane sighed and turned the bedroom light off, she crawled back into bed and pulled the covers up to her face and closed her eyes.
