Chapter 2

A little more than 30 minutes later it was actually getting dark outside. It was just 5 p.m. but the sun was going down quickly. Lisbon stood in front of Jane's door and she was wringing her hand. Then suddenly as if on clue, the door flew open and there stood Patrick Jane with s grin on his facet hat made her weak at her knees.

Damn it Teresa! Stop that! He is Jane, you remember? She scolded herself mentally.

„You kow Lisbon, I don't bite…You could have just came in…Or at least knock!" he teased her and she felt her cheeks go hot. She saw the winner's sparkle in his eyes which told her that she was blushing like crazy.

„Oh shut up!" she hissed and pushed him away, out of way. She walked in his room and looked around.

It was a bit smaller than hers but it made her feel quite homey as soon as she stepped inside. The bedding was brown and there was a cupboard near the window. This room had no fireplace but a small radiator. Still, there was comfortable warmness in it. The curtains darkened the room and she saw a DVD on the bedside table.

„Get inside…"he motioned her and with a gentle hand on her back he led her to the bed. „Take a seat please!" he asked very, actually surprisingly politely.

Lisbon had to smile at his tone as she lowered herself on the bed. Jane started the movie and with a step he was beside the bed too. It was soft and cold. Just what she needed in that moment to clear her mind a little. But it was all a waste of time when Jane sat next to her, maybe a little too close. His shoulders brushed hers while he pressed the 'start' button on the remote control.

„Let's start this…" he muttered and he leaned back against the wall. With a sudden decision he reached out and kind of pulled Lisbon back too and his arms slid innoccently, accidentaly across her shoulders. Hugging her to him.

Lisbon held her breath. Where the hell was this going? It was totally not like his usual behaviour. Maybe this was another trick, a new game… She didn't allow herself to relax against him and as they watched the opening credits and after some moments he rubbed his hand slightly over her shoulder.

„Come on Lisbon, you are tensed, and stiff…Please just…stop worrying. I don't even know how can you worry right now, it's all so quiet and peaceful…Nothing is bothering us…Just silence and relaxing…resting…calmness…" he murmured and she found herself drifting off. As his voice reached her ears it was like a gentle caress, barely audible, making her want to close her eyes and…

„Wait a minute! Stop that Jane!" she told him suspiciously as her eyes snapped open. She had seen this before, couple of times, actually experienced it once too. He was trying to hypnotise her!

„Sorry sorry, I was just going to calm you a little…" he said with a smirk. He shrugged a little, apologizing. He wasn't used to be caught. She was amazing…

„Well, you've crossed a line…I was getting more sleepy than relaxed!" she chuckled. She knew she should have been angry at him for doing it, but she just couldn't think about that when she was so close to him. In fact, thinking about anything in particular was extremely hard. She felt herself go red and she was grateful for the darkness.

The movie had started and they went quiet. The only light in the room came from the Tv and it played on their faces. Neither of them dared to look at the other. First, they were too close, and second they didn't want to get caught in staring.

Somewhere at the middle of the movie Lisbon managed to turn her head a bit. Only enough to catch a glimpse of his frame but he didn't notice. He was watching the movie with an amused look on his face. She was pleased to see how carefree he was and he seemed to enjoy himself a lot, but she was amazed that he found peace in a children movie. But, rethinking it, it wasn't so strange, after all he was Patrick Jane…

After some moments he grabbed the remote control and stopped the movie. Lisbon looked at him with raised eyebrows.

„Damn it! I forgot the pop-corn…" he said angrily and scowled. She chuckled and rolled her eyes.

„Then go and make some now…" she suggested and with a nod he jumped up and hurried out of his room. She could hear the pounding of his feet on the stairs.

Lisbon shook her head slightly, smirking at his sounds from downstairs. She could hear he was hurrying, she heard the buzzing of the microwave and after minutes of popping she heard him rattling with a bowl. Then he was back.

He held up the dark blue bowl with a satisfied grin and Lisbon could feel the smell of the fresh pop-corn coming from him.

„We can continue…" he muttered as he climbed back next to her and he put the bowl into his lap. He pulled her into his side automatically and she repressed a surprised gasp. With a faintly shaking hand she reached for a handful of pop-corn and filled her mouth with it. Jane hit 'play' and the movie was on again. Lisbon turned her gaze on the screen, trying not to concentrate on the weird situation she was in.

….

She didn't know how much time passed but when she stirred she had to realise that she had fallen asleep. She opened her eyes slowly and found herself comfortably laying on Jane's chest, his arms were around her, keeping her warm and close to himself. By the even rise and fall of his chest she guessed he was asleep too and she tried to clear the dizziness of her mind to think about how they got there.

She remembered watching the movie and Jane going downstairs for pop-corn. Then it was all blank and all she could remember was darkness and some blur dreams.
She leaned her head back onto his chest one more time, smiling and wondering how easy this was. Just laying there with him, hugging him like they were… Like they were a couple. It was good to feel like he wanted her. Even though she tried really hard to deny her feelings now she had to realize there was something. She couldn't quite define it yet, but she felt there was something. But she didn't want to ruin their friendship with her confused feelings…

Then just as she thought these Lisbon scowled at herself and turned away from Jane, getting up from the bed carefully. She didn't want to wake him. She slid her hand across his chest as she stood up and all the while she didn't understand where those thoughts came from. Must be from the sleep, she decided.
She crossed the room with huge steps and closed the door after herself. She leaned her back on the door and shook her head, sighing. What the hell was going on?

„Hey Boss!" the unexpected voice of VanPelt startled her and as she looked up she saw the agent smiling at her from the stairs. „You okay?"

„Sure, I was just…" she nodded, then pointed to Jane's door. Grace raised her eyebrows and smirked at her and Lisbon had to realize how easily misunderstandable the situation was. „I mean… I didn't…We were just watching a movie…" her voice faltered and she felt a blush on her cheek.

„Okay, I just wanted you to know that Rigsby and Cho plan to do a little trekking in the woods. Are you interested in joining us?" VanPelt asked with a kind smile.

„Ehh… Yes, of course!" she agreed and took a step towards her own room.

„Right, then I'll ask Jane too!" VanPelt said and walked to his door. She raised her hand to knock but Lisbon interrupted her.

„Wait! I…I'll ask him!" she said, not wanting to wake Jane up just yet. VanPelt gave her a weird look but nodded.

„Ok, as you want." She said „We will meet downstairs in 15!" she told Lisbon and disappeared on the stairs.

Lisbon shut her eyes closed and ran her fingers through her disheveled hair. She stepped back to Jane's door and silently opened it.

„Jane!" she murmured. She hated to wake him up when he was finally having some sleep but she couldn't just leave him there. Or could she? It would be just so easy to get rid of him for hours… Lisbon let the thought cross her mind for a little while and imagining the peace of her days without him, then she shook her head again and called to him again. „Jane, do you hear me?"

He moaned and turned to his side. Lisbon shooed the thought away that he might be searching for her with his arms.

„Patrick? Wake up!" she muttered to him a little loudly than before and took a step inside the room.

He didn't open his eyes but kept stretching his arms out and humming something that Lisbon couldn't really make out. He pushed his face into the pillow and didn't move.

Lisbon rolled her eyes and walked next to his bed. She reached out to touch his arm and leaned closer to him.

„Jane wake up! Patrick!" she murmured to him. She squeezed his arm a little.

With a sudden move he grabbed her arm and pulled her close in as he turned on his backside again. He hugged her to his chest and Lisbon stumbled to stay on her feet and failed. She fell on his chest and squeaked surprisedly.

„Hmm…Come on…Just stay a little longer!" he groaned and she tried to push herself away from him.

„Jane! Open your eyes!" she told him and shook him awake. He opened his eyes and his gaze fell on her. He immediately loosened his grip on her and looked around confusedly.

„Lisbon, hi… What's up?" he asked. Lisbon stood up again, trying to regain her confidence.

„I just wanted to ask if you wanted to come with the team to a little trip to the woods?" she asked him when he sat up, rubbing his eyes.

„Oh yes, yeah… sure! I'd love to come!" he nodded.

„All right, then meet us downstairs in 15 minutes!" Lisbon told him and she was about to leave his room when he called after her.

„Oh and Lisbon? I can't believe you fell asleep on The muppets!" he teased and grinned at her.
