Hi Mentalistas! This is my new fanfic "Secretive and controlling". It's a jisbon-story and will be M in the second chapter. I don't own The Mentalist and I don't make money with fanfiction.
...you might have noticed that Lisbon is my favorite character :)

Lisbon was sitting at her desk when she noticed that Jane was watching her again from his couch. This was one of the moments when she missed her office in the CBI where she could hide and just lock the door from inside. It made her uncomfortable that he watched her working, although she was used to it. In the past, she didn't mind, but since they worked for the FBI, their relationship had changed a bit.
There was an FBI agent called Marcus Pike who seemed interested in her and flirted with her every time they met. He was kind of cute and quite attractive, but of course not as perfect as Jane. She liked to be around Marcus anyway, because now it was her time to make Jane jealous, not the other way round, like it had been so many times in the past. At first, she even thought Jane would be interested in Kim, but she realized soon that Kim wouldn't be a competitor because she didn't seem straight to her. But that could be a problem, too, because Lisbon had to make sure that Kim found a girlfriend to not fall in love with her. Oh my god, a few years ago I would have never thought I had to decide between two men and a woman...love is strange...
The reason that she felt uncomfortable when Jane watched her while doing paperwork was that she felt like betraying him. She flirted with Marcus and even went on a few dates with him, but hadn't had sex with him yet. Lisbon thought that if she did, she would be thinking of Jane all the time, which would be very awkward...She was sure that Jane had seen she had kissed Marcus on the parking lot last week's evening. Now he lay on this damn couch again and probably thought about how he could get Marcus far away from Texas. Lisbon tried to concentrate and ignored him...it wasn't like she didn't know he stared at her when he thought she wouldn't see it...

Jane had stared at Lisbon all day from his couch and wondered how he could get rid of this agent Pike...This guy isn't half as good looking as I am...plus, he has dark hair...Lisbon doesn't like men with dark hair...crap, I sound arrogant, don't I? Never mind, she loves my arrogance...
Pike should do something Lisbon would never forgive him, like cheating on her or breaking her trust. Jane already had an evil plan in mind how he could trick Pike into cheating on Lisbon unknowingly but without a chance to proof his innocence. Jane grinned and looked over to her, then got up from the couch and went to Pike's department on the fifths floor.

Jane forced a cute blonde secretary to throw herself at Pike every time he went to see Lisbon for a cup of coffee. I mean seriously, they are dating for 2 weeks and he still doesn't know her favorite coffee at Starbucks...
The secretary was the complete opposite of Lisbon: blonde, tall and stupid. Just like the type of girl Walter Mashburn would marry and then divorce 6 months later. It was a cheap trick, but Jane paid her for flirting with Pike.

Jessica. The name of this blonde bitch is Jessica. Damn, I hate her already...how dares she to throw herself at Marcus like this?! I had no knowledge of her existence and suddenly she decides to take away my boyfriend? ...Wait. Boyfriend? I'm not so sure about that...However, she needs to go! But she's everywhere. I saw her when I was in this nice little cafe with Marcus, when we were in the park, when I visited him for lunch break in his office and she even followed us to Starbucks yesterday...And by the way, why doesn't he now my favorite coffee flavor yet? It started last week and if the idea wasn't that bizarre, I'd think Jane had something to do with it. It's fun to make him jealous, even if it's kind of unfair. Before one of us makes the first step, I'll let him suffer a little, just like he let me suffer with Lorelai, Erica and whoever they were. I know this is childish, but right now I'm really happy with Marcus. Only this stupid secretary annoys me...On the other hand, the thing between him and me isn't really serious, to be honest, I started this affair only to let Jane see that there are other men who are interested in me, but then I developed feelings for Marcus, even though he has black hair...
Writing a diary really helped Lisbon a lot.

On Monday, when she entered Pike's office, he wasn't there. So she waited for him and checked his cell phone in case he was keeping something from her. She went through his text messages and found some texts from Jessica...All of them began with 'hey honey', 'darling' and so on. When Pike returned, Lisbon confronted him immediately but he assured her he had nothing to do with this. It turned out that he had texted her back in the same way. Pike denied everything and swore to Lisbon that this had to be be a trick. Two days later she forgave Pike and gave him one more chance. Of course Jane had taken this into account when he planned his intrigue to win Lisbon for himself, so he paid Jessica for one final stunt.

Pike was in his apartment, put candles on the table and waited for Lisbon. It was the first time she came to his place, their other dates had all been in a bar or a restaurant. Then the doorbell rang. Oh no, she is too early, I'm not yet done with decorating the room...
But it wasn't Lisbon at the door, it was Jessica.
"What are you doing here? I told you a hundred times I don't wanna see you again after almost ruining my relationship! By the way, I'm waiting for Teresa, so just go now!"
"You want me, don't deny it. I know you want me."
"No, I don't! And stop undressing yourself in my room! She'll be here any minute and I want you to leave...Hey! What are you-?"
Pike was a man who was easy to manipulate: When Jessica stood in front of him in her underwear, he thought screw it, there's always time for a quicky!
The door was still half open when Lisbon walked up the stairs to his apartment. She realized something was weird and stepped in.
"Marcus! How dare you?"
"Teresa! It's not what it look's like! I can explain!"
"No, I don't need any explanations. It's over!"
"Wait!"

Apparently, Lisbon got over Pike very soon, it wasn't a big deal, but she wondered why Jane was so full of joy and energy these days...He had been so secretive for weeks...
She hadn't had time to think about stuff like that because there was so much paperwork to do and she was quite often in the field with Kim and Cho.
Friday evening Abbott told them all to go home early because they solved the case of the week fast and even rescued three kids from a kidnapper. Jane came to her desk.
"Would you like to have a drink? We solved the case without any trouble and I behaved all week. So there's no reason for you to say no."
Lisbon thought about that for a while before she answered. She had missed him pretty much lately and hadn't had time to talk with him at all. Moreover, she wasn't tired and didn't want to be at home alone all weekend.
"You know what? You're right. Let's go!"

Thanks for reading! This is what happened before Jane and Lisbon ended up in bed. The next chapter will be a hot Jisbon scene!
