Their faces were an inch away, when there was a knock at the door and they both sprung apart as if they had been burnt. Lisbon shock herself to get back in control before sitting back behind her desk and motioning Jane to go sit on her couch. Once he had moved away from her she called to whoever had interrupted them to come in. the door opened slowly to reveal a slightly apprehensive looking Van Pelt. Once she was in the office she nodded to Jane before turning back to Lisbon and saying.
'Sorry if I'm interrupting but I just wanted to give you my reports before I headed home.' Lisbon nodded her head before reaching her hand out for the reports, Van Pelt walked towards her desk handed her the paperwork, before saying a quick goodnight and walking as quick as she could out of the office. Lisbon looked at the closed office door for a minute before turning to Jane who was lying on the couch with his eyes closed. She knew he wasn't sleeping but she didn't really want to say anything to him yet, without thinking through what nearly happened between them, so she decided to leave him 'sleeping' and read the report that Van Pelt had given her, even though Minelli had told them to go home, she didn't really feel like going home to an empty house, so Turning to the first page, and taking her time reading every single word carefully, just so that she could waste time.
Jane could feel Lisbon's eyes on him when Van Pelt left, but he didn't want to move or even open his eyes, because he knew that she wouldn't want to talk about what just happened, before probably thinking it through, so he just continued to keep his eyes close, and also think about it too. He felt her shift her eyes away, then heard her open the report and began to read. Jane felt himself start to drift off after a couple of minutes.
Lisbon was almost through with the report, when she drifted her gaze away from the report and back to Jane, who had been very quiet the last 10 minutes, she noticed he was breathing evenly and knew he was sleeping. She let herself stare at him for a while. He looked so peaceful while he was asleep; the worry of the world had disappeared from his face. Something inside Lisbon clicked and she couldn't help herself, dropping report to the side, she rose from her desk and walked to stand next to him. Looking down at him, gave her the a sense of protectiveness, and she wasn't sure why she had done it but she knelt next to him and ran her fingers across his head, tracing the slight lines that she could now see being closer to him. As her fingers danced across his face, he stirred slightly, she had forgotten what such a light sleeper he was, she drew her hand back quickly but it was too late she had already been caught. He turned his head towards her, and she got lost in his beautiful sea-blue eyes, they were still slightly closed due to sleep. As soon as he realized who had woken him, he smiled and she couldn't help but smile in return, even though she was worried about what he might say about the way she had waking him up the way she did. But she didn't need to worry because he didn't say anything just kept staring at her with a smile. He was the first to brake the gaze by sitting up on the couch, and stretching out his muscles, she didn't know how he never seemed to have a bad back after laying on the couch, but didn't dwell on it, because he had stood and was holding his hand out to her to help her stand, usually she wouldn't have taken the hand, being an independent women that she was, but as it was the hand of the dashing consultant, she grabbed hold and heaved herself up. Once she was standing opposite him, she tried to take her hand away from his, but he wouldn't let her and entwined his fingers with her. Her first reaction was to pull away, but something about the warm hand, made her think twice, and she didn't pull away. The next thing she knew she was being dragged out of her office and into the bullpen, she noticed that neither had spoken, but she didn't mind, it felt nice not having to say what was on her mind.
Jane walked into the bullpen and let go of her hand and she instantly missed the touch, she watched him walk over to his couch and grabbed his jacket off the back of it. She took the time to look around the bullpen and noticed that her team had already left for the night. She turned her attention back to Jane, who walked straight past her back to her office, he was in there for about 10 seconds, when he walked out he was carrying her coat and purse, he switch the light off and locked the door, he walked back towards her coat thrown over his arm and her purse in one hand, his other hand stretched out towards her. She took a step towards him and grabbed the outstretched hand, he entwined their hands once again, turned to the exit dragging Lisbon along with him. They got to the elevator, because Lisbon was the only one with a free hand, she pressed the button down. The elevator arrived and they both stepped into it, once the doors closed, Lisbon took a step closer to Jane so that there was no space between them.
