Hi guys this is my first story! Hope you enjoy and I would really appreciate reviews :)
The music came to a halt and Lisbon suddenly began to feel the last 3 minutes she had been under the spell of her favourite Extreme song, and now the realisation hit that she had been dancing with Patrick Jane. But now her senses returned to her as an upbeat song was played over the speaker system. She pulled away from him, she hadn't realised how comfy she had been. His shoulders the perfect height, he waist the perfect width. They seemed to be moulded together. He appeared shocked:
"did I do something wrong?" he asked.
"no,no of course not"she began to mumble. She dropped her head.
"then why aren't we dancing?" he tilted her chin up so he looked straight into her eyes. For a moment she lost herself again. She had see many a women seduced by Patrick Jane. It was so easy to fall into those blue-green eyes. So many around the office would giggle if he gave them as much as a smile. They were reduced to the mental age of 14 , but surely this couldn't happen to THE Teresa Lisbon?
"Jane, could we go for a walk. Please?
He nodded not speaking and this only made Lisbon more nervous. No sarcastic remarks or cheeky, mischievous smile.
The pair wandered outside of the school hall and into the grounds. Lisbon longed to tell him how he made each day for her, how every time he entered her office her heart missed a beat. He looked at her expectantly as the reached a locked gate, the end point if their walk.
"Jane I've been thinking that..." he slipped his hand inside her's. She stopped abruptly, as her hand began to tingle. He led her round past the outer buildings and round to a running track.
"race you!" he laughed, his words streaming into the wind as he raced away from her. As Lisbon began her sprint down the home straight she began to question what had happened that evening. Did Jane love her? Or was the dancing and hand holding just friendship? She discarded her thoughts as she started to gain on Jane till she ran level with him as they crossed the finish line in synchronisation. She stood out of breath for a few seconds before telling Jane "I won that".
"meh. Only because I let you" Lisbon laughed gently an Jane couldn't helped but notice how beautiful the sound was. It was the simple things that made him love her. He had no idea how he would tell her as for all the years he had known her, she never dated, and this made him doubt that she would notice his subtle flirting. Still he wasn't unhappy with them being friends.
The pair started to stagger up the steps laughing til their lungs the small grandstand until Jane stopped and sat down on a folding chair. "let me take you out for dinner" he said calmly.
"what?now! Jane I need to get back to work" she said attempting to sound annoyed with his "preposterous" question.
"what work? The case is closed! Plus it's 11:30. Look please my treat, I've been a pain this week, it's the least I could do".
Lisbon gave in finally after several minutes of bickering so Jane walked her back to her car. Across the car park were a couple leaning into each other rubbing noses. An old flame from high school re-ignited, there was a awkward silence when Jane and Lisbon exchanged a glance. Then Jane rested his hand upon Lisbon's on the gear stick and before she could turn her head to face him, his lips were already against hers. He kissed her timidly at first but when he sensed she wouldn't pull away their kiss became more passionate.
