PRIDE OF BOSTON
CHAPTER 2
Jane hoisted herself up on to the kitchen island. She swung her legs aimlessly as she listened to Maura reel out facts about the Boston Pride Parade. She smiled privately to herself as Maura was in fully googlemouth mode. She thought it was kind of cute that Maura had spent the latter part of last night researching everything and anything to do with the Pride Event, but of course she'd never tell the Doctor that.
In unison Jane and Maura stepped out of Prius. Jane pointed the key fob at the car the indicator lights flashed and the car let out a few short bleeps. She walked around the front of the car and joined Maura on the sidewalk. They'd parked a few blocks from Copley Square.
Maura instantly hooked her arm around Jane's elbow as they strolled towards the Diner.
As they got closer to the Square, the women started to notice small groups of people gathering. They were obviously also taking part in the Parade. Jane glanced down at Maura who was busily typing away on her phone.
"what are you doing?" Jane asked as she tried to get a look a small screen "Not still shopping for shoes?" Jane laughed.
"No..updating my status.." Maura smiled as she looked up at Jane.
"huh..since when did you get involved in social media sites?" Jane cocked an eyebrow.
"Jane, it's purely for anthropological reasons.." Maura frown.
Jane grabbed the phone from Maura and read the status.
"Boston GLBT Pride with my LLBF"
Jane rolled her eyes as she handed the phone back "and next you'll take a photo of…" Jane stopped mid-sentence as Maura raised the phone at arm length. A small flash lit up the immediate area. "us…yep there it is…"
Maura glanced at the phone's screen, she scrunched her nose "Jane you didn't smile.." She said as she showed the Detective the photo she'd just taken.
They continued to walk in unison down the block.
"Jane I was thinking about what Lexi said to us last night.." Maura said as she looked up from her phone.
Jane glanced at Maura "And?" she asked.
"Well I can see why people assume we may be together.."
Jane stopped mind step "It's our closeness isn't it? Jane asked.
Maura turned and walked back to Jane "Well yes that…and" Maura paused slightly "we're a very stereotypical lesbian couple…" Maura continued.
"Excuse me?" Jane jaw swung open.
"I said...we're a stereotypical lesbian couple.." Maura repeated herself.
"I know what you said Maura. I'm just trying to work out why you even would think we " Jane waggled her index finger between the pair of them "are a typical lesbian couple...we...and I repeat myself very clearly...WE...are not lesbians.."
"I know Jane...but just for today do you think we could pretend that we were...I mean I don't want to upset Lexi..She thinks we make a lovely couple anyway.." Maura smiled as she turned and continued down the street.
Jane threw her arms up in the air and sighed loudly. Today is going to be torture she thought. Not only does she have to ride the Boston Police Float and wear a costume. Now her best friend wants them to pretend that they are a lesbian couple so not to upset a rookie cop.
Jane followed Maura into the diner across the road from Copely Square; she glanced around and noticed the large group of Officers taking up most of the booths. They were all tucking into their breakfasts. Lexi looked up from her breakfast and leapt out the chair and skipped over to Jane and Maura who looked a little lost in the diner.
"Jane…Maura you made it! Fantastic; grab yourself a table and a breakfast then we'll have a brief discussion about today's event." Lexi said as she slapped Jane on the back before skirting back to her breakfast.
Jane and Maura looked at each other bemused. Where did Lexi get all that energy from? Jane pulled out a chair at the nearest table for Maura before she took a seat opposite the Doctor.
"Aww thank you honey…" Maura winked.
Jane rolled her eyes "That's alright Sweetheart.." the sarcasm dripped from her tongue.
A burly waitress sided up to the table; she took the pencil from behind her ear and licked the tip as she waited for the women to order.
Jane looked to Maura who was studying the menu. She thought two can play at this game. "I'll have the diner fried breakfast and my little lady will have the same." Jane smiled at the waitress.
The waitress scribbled down the order "Cup of Joe?" she grumbled.
Jane nodded in agreement as Maura looked up from the menu "Jane.." she whined.
Jane smirked as she looked around the diner; she recognized most of the Officers and to be honest she never realised there were so many gay and lesbian officers in the force.
Fifteen minutes later Jane took the last bite of the fried toast. She wiped her mouth with the paper napkin and tossed it on the empty plate. Maura had excused herself and gone to the ladies. She leant back in her seat and pattered her stomach a few times. She noticed Lexi had finished her breakfast long ago and had disappeared. Her moment had come; perhaps she could easily slip out of the café un-noticed. Jane glanced around the diner, not Maura or Lexi were about. She was just about to stand when a thunderous applause and wolf-whistles echoed around the small diner. Jane's eyes were directed to the small crowd of officers that were gathered in the corner of the small diner. The crowd parted and Jane's jaw dropped as she saw Maura standing amongst the crowd, she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Maura looked over to Jane "Jane, Jane, Jane isn't this great" Maura beamed as she tottered towards the brunette. Reaching Jane she gave a quick twirl and struck a pose.
Jane slapped her forehead in disbelief "Oh my God Maura…."
Jane's eyes travelled up and down the length of the Medical Examiner's Body. In a daze she walked around the smaller woman, her eyes drawn to the near non-existent white hot pants.
"Maura you're not wearing any underpants?" Jane questioned.
Maura looked over her shoulder at the Detective, her heavily hooded eye lids fluttering "you would see them under the costume..i took them off" Maura winked.
Jane eyes widen as Maura turned around to her "and you're bra?"
Maura pushed her chest out slightly, the snug boob tube stretched to its capacity "you would see the straps.." she shrugged.
Jane looked down at what Maura was wearing on her feet.
"Stilletto heeled white patent leather knee high boots…aren't they just the cutest things ever.." Maura beamed as she lifted her leg and placed one booted foot on a nearby diner chair.
Jane could feel herself blushing as her eyes travelled up the length of Maura's leg, pass the knee high boot, her very exposed thigh and toned stomach. Her eyes resting a little longer over Maura's chest that was heaving out of the narrow white Saturn material that was covering her breasts.
Maura giggled " I believe you are disconcerted my friend; do I make you nervous?"
Jane's eyes widen slightly. Why did she feel this sudden sense of panic sweep over her? Giving a nervous laugh Jane ignored Maura.
At that moment and thankfully for Jane, Lexi interrupted the pair. "Jane here's your costume; you can change in the restroom…"
Jane pursed her lips together and frowned slightly; she hoped to god that she wasn't going to be dressed the same as Maura. She snatched the suit bag from Lexi and stomped off towards the restroom.
Ten minutes later Jane pushed open the restroom door leading back out of the diner. She lifted her head as soon as she heard the familiar wolf whistles and applause. She waved her hand away and made her way through the crowd of people. Straightening the costume as she weaved through the crowd.
She stood in front of Maura and waited for the Doctor's reaction.
"Jane…wow…you look…" Maura stuttered.
Jane rolled her eyes "spit it out Maur..i look ridiculous"
Maura looked Jane up and down and walked around her raising her eyebrows as she walked behind the Detective. "I was going to say Sexy…"
Jane looked in the mirrored column at the far end of the diner. She straightened the black and white patterned cow hide vest exposing the yellow gingham boob tube. She puffed out her chest slightly as she looked down at the blue denim hot pants and the brown knee length patent leather boots. She twirled slightly. Actually she thought it's not that bad but she still wasn't sure what or who they were supposed to be. She turned back to Maura who was still staring at the tall Detective.
Lexi clapped animated as she walked over to Jane and Maura.
"Maura..your wings and Jane here's your cowboy hat" She said handing the pair their accessories.
Maura effortlessly put her wings on and turned back to Jane who was holding the cowboy hat.
"OH GOD…we're.." Jane started to say but was interrupted by Lexi.
"Everybody…I give you BUZZLIGHTYEAR AND WOODY!" She shouted over to the crowd of Officers.
