" C'mon! Why not? " Van Pelt begged.
" Because it's my private life! And why is that so interesting for you? " Lisbon grumbled.
" I only want to know what kind of men you like best! And have been friends for a long time now… I'm curious! "Grace smiled. She was sitting on the couch in Lisbon's office, drinking a cup of coffee. They hadn't had a case since 3 days and even all the paperwork was done. The whole team was bored; Cho was reading a book, Rigsby was playing a computer game and Jane was nowhere to found.
" So… You still don't want to tell me? " Van Pelt begged again.
" No! " Lisbon glared at her.
" I guess it has something to do with the fact that you don't like men at all. You think they're not worth it... " Van Pelt sighted, grinning inwardly.
" That's not true! " Lisbon yelled. " I do like men! What a silly topic! "
" Sure… " Grace said sarcastically.
" I'm looking for someone funny, smart and gentle… Some stronger than me, someone I can trust with my life, someone who is always there for me! "Lisbon finally admitted.
' Wow, Jane's trick really works…' Grace thought.
" So, you have it; I told you! Are you happy now? " Asked Lisbon, angry with herself.
" Yep! " grinned Grace. " You know, the description of guy you're looking for does exactly fit Jane?! "
" Oh, hush! " Grumbled Lisbon. " By the way, do you know where he is? "
" No… He left 3 hours ago. " Said Van Pelt. " Do you want me to go and look for him? "
" No, thanks. I'll go by myself. " Lisbon sighted and stood up.
After Van Pelt had left, Lisbon went out to search for Jane.
Grace stepped next to Rigsby " Did you know that Lisbon's in love with Jane? " She whispered.
" Hmhhm, yea. " He answered.
Wondering, Van Pelt watched him still starring at his computer.
" Elephants are pink, right? " She asked, hiding a smile.
" Hmhhm, yea. "
" Wayne! You're not even listening! " She shouted and playfully punched him into his shoulder.
" Sorry… Now you've my fullest attention. " He grinned.
" I asked if you knew that boss is in love with Jane! " She whispered.
" You're kidding! " He said.
" No, I'm not! And… " She was interrupted by Jane walking in.
" Hey guys… Where's Lisbon? " He smiled.
" She's looking for you! Didn't meet her? " Van Pelt asked.
" No… Not yet. " He sighted and sat down on his couch.
" Let's do some experiment! I guess he loves her as well…" Grace whispered exited into Rigsby's ear. She walked to the couch and sat down next to Jane. Sure that his own tricks couldn't be used against him, Van Pelt decided to surprise him by directly coming to the question.
" What do you think about Lisbon? " She asked.
" Ehm… Why wanna know that? "
" Answer the question… "
" Why? "
" Answer the question! "
" WHY? "
" Just answer the damn question! " She hissed.
" She's my best friend, has an amazing character and beautiful eyes. She's a little stubborn, but in a cute way… Enough? Now tell me why you wanted to know that! "
" Just to prove a theory… " She grinned and turned to Rigsby. " I was right, Wayne! "
" Right with what? " Asked Jane confused.
" Oh, nothing… " She smiled.
" You don't really want me to find it out with 'other' ways, do you?" He said.
" That Lisbon's more than just your best friend. " Grace whispered exited.
" One moment; I didn't say that! " Jane complained.
" Oh, c'mon! You're not going to tell me that your facial expression changed 'just for fun' while talking about her! You can't fool me, man! "
Jane was a little stunned by that, although he had to admit that it was pretty obvious… Even for Rigsby, who was grinning idiotically.
