If you are a LGBTQ movie fanatic like myself you will know what movie this is simply by the name of the story, but if you are not it is an adaptation of the movie Elena Undone. I hope you like it. Happy reading!
"In Love one and one are... one. Seldom do we get to witness the art of true love. But that is what we all really desire. Not just to be loved, but to be loved in that all-encompassing, Heath-cliff-on-the-moors, one- true-love, soulmate kind of way. And yet, rarely are we prepared for it when it happens by."
"Why are you telling me this Susie? I'm married, and we're adopting."
"I'm telling you this because someone is definitely coming into your life in a big way." Susie says closing her eyes to continue 'feeling' Maura's future.
"Yes someone is coming into my life, a baby. And if I don't leave now I'm going to be late."
"Don't forget about the guru tomorrow."
"I won't. Tell Brian I said hello, bye Susie." Maura says getting her bag and heading to the adoption center.
"It's not, you know, abnormal for me to want to be a single mom, is it?"
"No, not at all. We have plenty of single people apply for adoption each year." The women at the door talk as Maura fills out the last of the paper work.
"These aren't my keys where are my keys." Someone says just as Maura sees that the keys she has aren't her own.
"I think I have them." Maura says turning around, seeing one of the women that stood in front of the door.
"Oh thank you so much."
"It's no problem. I don't mean to pry but I overheard a part of your conversation and I think you are so brave to be doing this alone. I also heard that you're a writer, I'm a photographer."
"Thanks, I'm always looking for a photographer, we should exchange cards." Jane says but her mind is somewhere else.
Pretty? Check
Successful? Check
Wants kids? She is at an adoption agency, Check
"Mines a bit old sorry." The blonde says pulling a worn card from her purse handing it to the brunette, receiving a better looking one in return.
Jane Rizzoli, Author and a phone number is all the card has.
"Doctor Maura Isles, owner of Selsi photography. Not everyday you see a doctor that's a photographer, or is it a photographer that's a doctor? What's the story there? If you don't mind my asking of course."
"The doctor is for my parents peace of mind, the photographer is for my-" Maura is cut off by a voice coming from the Jane's pocket.
'Your best friend is calling. It may be important, you should answer.'
"Excuse me. What's wrong Frost... Okay calm dow-..Okay I won't tell you to calm down I apologize... I will be right there." She says then hangs up the phone before turning back to Maura.
"It's fine I have your number. I'll call and we can arrange a time, or you can call me, I'm free through the week."
"Thank you, Maura." Jane says before quickly walking away to the exit.
Maura soon makes her way home to start dinner for Garrett and the neighbors son Nash and his girlfriend Tory, she'd volunteered to watch them when Nash's mom and dad decided to visit her parents in Spain.
Meanwhile across town...
"Frost where are you bud?" Jane calls when she opens the door to her house.
"In the kitchen."
Jane makes her way into the kitchen to see her friend sitting at the kitchen with a tub of ice cream and an extra spoon on the counter next to him.
"He cheated on me Jane. Nate cheated on me. Is it something I do? Maybe I'm just not meant to fall in love. No maybe I just need some guidance through my love life. You know what, I think I will go to that love guru tomorrow, and you're coming with me."
"Um... Okay? Are you feeling better now?"
"Tons. I knew you'd talk some sense into Jane, thank you." Frost says giving Jane a quick hug and running out the door.
"Either I'm just that good or my friend is crazy. Maybe a bit of both." Jane says aloud as she sits down and digs into the ice cream.
That night at Maura's house...
Maura is sitting on the bed brushing her hair when Garrett comes out of the bathroom.
"A little birdie told me someone might be ovulating, that wouldn't be you would it?"
"It would." Maura says trying to keep the repulsiveness out of her voice.
The thought of having sex with my husband should not make me sick.
"Be ready when I come back." He says kissing the side of her head.
Maura reluctantly places the brush on the vanity, taking a deep breath before slowly unbuttoning her night shirt, removing her pants and underwear in move, crawling up the middle of the bed after she has the cover back. Making sure to apply lubricant to herself so it won't be painful this time.
"After all these years your body still looks amazing, baby." Garrett says coming back into the room fully unclothed, erection standing firm between his legs. He makes his way up the bed, resting his body between Maura's open legs, kissing the side of her neck as he glides himself through her folds.
"Oh baby you're so wet." He says finally pushing himself inside of her, not hearing the whimper Maura lets out as he does so. Maura closes her eyes as he pounds away grunting and moaning until he finally reaches his release, rolling off of her before he passes out.
The next night...
"You bought a new dress just for to tonight?"
"No this I have worn this dress I bought for our anniversary dinner that got canceled because you had a church meeting to go to." Maura says taking a bit of the oatmeal cookie while wiping down the counters.
"Well I feel really bad about missing that dinner now." Garrett says wrapping his arms around Maura's waist as she turns to face him.
"Now you feel bad?"
"No I felt bad when it happened and now seeing you in this dress makes me feel really bad."
"I have to go. Dinners in the fridge." Maura says, putting the rest of the cookie in Garrett's mouth as he goes to kiss her.
"All I get is a cookie?" He says, his voice muffled around the cookie.
At the guru...
"You know I found out Nate cheated on me with Parker and my ex." Frost says as they pull up to the venue.
"Stop bringing up the past, we are trying to move forward. Now lets go before we're late or I change my mind." Jane says getting out of the car.
"In love one and one are simply... One. To often we are attracted to what we see instead of what we fill. We all want the bedroom eyes and the one with all the curves in all the right places, but not everyone fits that description. Hello!" Susie says gesturing to her own not quite there assesses. "But everyone has someone that matches with the them, your twin flame if you will. Your soulmate could be standing right next to and you would never know." Susie foes on to talk about love at first sight and how we often see the love of my life but don't always know that that person is the love of our life right away.
"Now we have refreshments in the back while I speak one on one with the ones brave enough." Susie is stepping off the stage when Jane sees the familiar head of blonde curls, and Maura feels the presence before she hears the voice.
"Maura hey."
"Jane, its nice to see you again." The blonde says kissing Jane on the check, making the taller woman blush. Whatever the brunette had stated to say gets cut off by Susie.
"Maura there you are. Oh hello." Susie says once she spots her friend and then Jane.
"Susie, this is Jane Rizzoli, I met her at the adoption center, she's a writer."
"I told you so. I have to go. Take a seat and don't leave until I have spoken with you." Susie says and Jane sees her lead Frost to the private room.
"I'll wait with you." Jane says pointing to the two chairs on the side of the room. "You don't seem like someone with love problems." Jane says looking at the other woman.
"I don't, I'm here for my friend."
"Me too. Frost seems to be picking the bad ones all the time. I mean not all of my past partners were aces but there were some good ones."
"I'm sorry, 'partners'?" Maura asks, tilting her head to the side.
"Didn't she tell you? Jane's a big butch Lesbian. And apparently my gaydar needs repairing, but its late so I'll start repair tomorrow."
"I'm sorry to leave so soon but he's my ride."
"No its fine, I should talk with Susie and get going anyway, Garrett has early service tomorrow."
"Service?"
"Garrett?"Jane and Frost ask at the same time.
"Garrett, my husband, he's a pastor."
