I got reviews that said continue, so I did.
I have a huge surprise you readers! Two actually.
1. This chapter is intended to make you smile.
2. I do not own Jane, Maura, or Frost...
"Maura, I am so sorry. I have spent the past 12 months getting over you. I know that I came here, but I need some room to rehabilitate being around you again. I got your letter, and I think we need to talk about it, but right now, all I want is to catch up with my best friend." Jane said, trying her best to articulate her feelings.
"Jane, I never thought I would ever be in your presence ever again. I will do what ever it takes for you to forgive me. I would love to have lunch with you today?" Maura carefully stated.
"Yeah, sure. I guess I'll meet you at the NYPD." Jane said, "Let me drive you, I want to talk. I live actually miss your Google talk.: Jane said, feeling easier than before. She could see Maura smile, and her eyes light up, which made her trip to New York worth it already.
"I would like that." Maura said, stepping out, then locking the door. She followed Jane down to a rental car and asked, "You.. rented a car?"
"Yeah, I drove around the city last night. The skyscrapers were incredible, Maur." Jane said. Both women were in the car, both had so much to say, but nothing was being said at all.
"So, Jane how is everyone?" Maura asked, curiously
"Well, pretty much the same, Frost is still my partner, and Korsak is still out Sergeant. The ME on the other hand... Well.. he is.. not you." Jane answered honestly. "How is the NYPD treating you?"
Maura smiled at Jane again and answered, "Well, everyone is great. I find there to be more females than in Boston. The assistants are great, I was offered the same position as I had in Boston, so it had been fine..."
"That is really great to hear, Maur, honestly." Jane said, also ignoring the elephant in the room/car. "We're here, Maur. I'll see you at lunch. Text me when, my number is the same."
"Alright, Jane. I will." Maura said hugging Jane once more before entering the building.
"Hey, Officer," Jane looked at his name-badge. "Brendan, have you seen Dr. Isles?" Jane asked upon entering the building. She it was lunch, and Maura told her to come into the precinct.
"Detective. Um, yeah, she is. Last time I checked she was in the Morgue. Bottom floor." Brendan said.
"Thanks, and sorry, detective, I just saw your uniform ans assumed." Jane said, smiling.
"Hey- are you by chance Detective Jane Rizzoli?" The Brendan asked.
"Yeah, that is me, but not in this city." Jane said, reluctant to talk about work. She saw that the younger Detective became extremely excited , so she kept talking.
"That is so amazing. I grew up in Boston, and you have always been my role model." Brendan said. Jane did sort of dislike it when things like this happened, but she was in a particularly good mood.
"Well, thanks, I appreciate it, but I have to see Doctor Isles now." Jane said politely, seeing Maura walk towards them.
"Hey Jane, sorry I am a bit late, I was reading ans lost track of time." Maura said.
"Maur, you said 12:30, and it is 12:34 now, you don't need to apologize for four minutes." Jane said almost laughing, missing the little things like these.
"Maura, you didn't tell me you know Detective Rizzoli!" Brendan said. Jane looked at Maura who expressed that this is one of the Detectives that she works with.
"I don't believe it ever came up... you know I worked with her in Boston, right?" Maura stated, confused. "Either way, Jane and I are going to be going for lunch now, see you later."
"Bye." Jane said and the two women were off. Jane looked to Maura. "So, you want to show me what you do around here?"
Maura said, "Yeah, come on." Maura took her so some organic cafe where the two got sandwiches, and then they went to the Empire State building. "Let's eat here."
"Is this your spot?" Jane asked, knowing Maura would catch on.
"Yes, It is. I find it to be comforting." Maura said.
"I can see why. Anyway, Maur I have taken time to think about me coming here, and us. I want you to know that I am not willing to let our friendship go. I want to know that it is there before we become more than friends, because lets face it." Jane said.
"To hit it.. uh head on? Directly- I love you and you love me, it is what it is." Maura broke the ice. "Jane, have you dated anyone?"
"Way to be blunt. Yeah, but guess who was on my mind?" Jane smirked. Maura smiled back, loving how Jane managed a joke. The two continued eating, talking about everything they missed out on, and life. A talk that was needed for the both of them. They both missed each other's presence, and them being near each other was good enough for the first day. There was a long way to go, but it was made clear by that lunch that the two women would be moving forward- and soon.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Maur. " Jane said. There was a pause, then tears began to flow. Jane immediately hugged Maura, letting her nuzzle her neck with her head. "Hey, It is okay. I will always come back, I swear. From this moment on, I will do whatever it takes if it means you are happy. That is all I need." Jane said truthfully looking down at Maura.
"I CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE, JANE." Maura cried. Jane was startled by the yelling.
"Look, Maur, I-" Jane paused as what Maura was talking about dawned on her. "Oh. Me too..." Jane's last word was dragged out to a silence. Jane let her senses take over, and the moment that she wanted for so long arrived.
"Jane" Maura whispered as Jane leaned closed and closer. Maura could feel her hands in her hair, and placed her own around Jane's waist. When lips touched, they spread soon after an tongues met, causing a spark between the two,
"Skyscrapers are great, Maur, but this, it priceless." Jane said as the kiss broke apart.
