"So, what have you been doing today?"
Maura was sitting on my couch watching the baseball with me.
"Oh, nothing much… you know, just lazing around like usual. Oh! I baked a cake!" I winked. Everyone knew I couldn't bake.
"Oh that's nice. How did the cake turn out? May I taste it?"
"Uhh, yeah, sure Maur." I led her over to the island in the middle of the kitchen. My cake was blackened and burnt, despite my best efforts to try and cover it with a thick load of icing. "Uhh… I'm really not sure you want to eat this… I was just going to give it to Jo Friday" Maura laughed. I loved Maura's laugh.
"I'm sorry… I really should've bought something for afternoon tea instead of trying to make it."
"The cake looks… amazing Jane." She paused. "Just like you." As soon as Maura said it she looked away, blushing. Maura rushed on. "Do you need help organising these? I'll just put this over-" I looked into her shining eyes. "Maura…" I had no idea what to say. I couldn't just brush the comment away, my gut feeling told me it wasn't just a friendly comment. What had made her say that? She definitely wasn't acting normally. The Maura I knew was definitely not spontaneous. Usually she would've thought over what she was going to say. I put my hand on her arm. Was this what she wanted? I had no idea but I just knew it felt natural. I found her gazing into my eyes. Her arm stroked mine, and our fingers entwined around each other's. What was happening?
"Janie!" It was my mother. With a loud crash, she stumbled through the door with some groceries. "Oh, sorry, these bags are just really heavy and I-"
I quickly pulled away from Maura, and turned to face my mother. Her features were twisted in surprise. "Oh, hey ma… thanks, I appreciate it. I've really been too busy to get my own groceries. "Busy? Today is your day off Jane," my mother responded, as if nothing had happened. She smiled. "Today is the one day where you are away from work and of course you have your best friend here with you. Sorry to bother you girls. I have some housework to do, bye Janie!"
"Oh, Mrs Rizzoli! No, please stay… did you buy something for afternoon tea? Please stay and have some afternoon tea with us!" Maura had recovered from gaping in shock.
"Oh really? Thankyou so much Maura, at least someone is happy to have me around." My mother responded with a glare in my direction.

Later that night, I was lying in bed, unable to sleep. Maura had just gone home an hour ago. I checked my alarm clock. 12:20am. "ugh". I rolled over again for what seemed like the hundredth time. I had work tomorrow. Who knows what time Frost or Korsak would call in the morning. But I knew why I couldn't get to sleep. The truth was I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened with Maura the day before. Where did the fire in her eyes come from? Her hand on my arm. Our hands holding one another's? I had never fully considered my feelings towards Maura Isles. I always thought of her as just a friend. A very close friend that I spent every hour of my life with. But what if there was something else there. My heart ached thinking about her. What was happening to me? It was not my nature to be so attached to someone, to open myself up so much to someone. I operated better alone. But Maura knew everything about me, all of my secrets, because I had trusted her enough to tell her. I always thought of her just as a friend. But maybe deep down she was more… My last thoughts were on Maura as sleep claimed me.

That night I dreamt that I went to a bar. I was all dressed up. I thought about the situation. Obviously it must be something important if I had bothered to get dressed nicely. I surveyed my surroundings. There were people dancing around us. Us? I looked to my right. There sat the Good Doctor, Maura Isles, in a stunning dress, which was tight in all the right places. I gawked at her. She returned my gaze with a smile. "Care to dance, Jane?"
I wasn't sure if I could respond without my voice failing me, so I just nodded in response. Our hands found each other, and we walked out to the dance floor, swaying softly with the music. Maura rested her head on my shoulder. I kissed the top of her head, not caring about what the other people in the bar thought. She looked up at me with adoring eyes. "Jane… I… I don't really know how to say this, but I love you more than anything."
Somewhere deep inside me, my heart leapt. Was this what I had wanted for this whole time? Was I in love with Maura Isles? I had no idea what to say but I went with my gut, as it was usually quite proficient in these sorts of situations. "Maura… I love you too. I love you more than anything." Before I knew what was happening, our lips had met each other's. How soft and warm her lips were. My tongue entered her mouth and she accepted it. I felt her lean into the kiss and so did I. Why did this feel so right? I suddenly realised that this is what I had wanted for a long time. I slid my hand down her back, feeling the way that her silk-woven dress fitted her body. Her hands ran through my hair. I felt like this was what was meant to happen.

I woke up to my phone ringing. It was 7:00am. Oh well. At least I had a decent sleep. I answered the phone. "Rizzoli"
"Hi Jane," It was Maura. "There's a body here, you need to come and see."
"Alright, I'll be right there" As I hung up, my dream from the previous night came back to me. Maura and I. Out on a date. Dancing. Kissing….

So, that was chapter 2! I really enjoyed writing this, and the reviews were absolutely awesome! Thanks so much guys, I seriously do appreciate it.
