The raven-haired woman creeped through the darkness around the back of the circus tent. Nobody noticed her, too caught up in keeping excited children from running all over the large grassy field that served as the circus grounds when it was here, but also hosted the county fair, horse shows, car shows, and many other county activities. She walked through the shadows to where the circus actors and other workers set up camp. Then she sighed, wondering how in hell she was going to get to the largest camper, situated in the center of the cages, set up pastures, and smaller campers. She snuck through a mess of pens and other things, hiding in the cracks between them when someone came by. Suddenly, she came upon the camper for which she was searching. She knocked lightly on the door.
"Enter." A melodic voice called. The woman opened the door and stepped inside, closing it quietly behind her. Maura looked at her in the mirror, her hand freezing halfway through a stroke of the hairbrush through her glorious golden hair, then continuing.
"May I ask who are are?" She said calmly, not seeming at all ruffled by the fact that a stranger had just walked into her camper.
"My name is Jane. Jane Rizzoli." The raven-haired one replied.
Maura stopped, seeming to consider whether to ask her to leave or not. Her curiosity about why this person was so determined to meet her won over her cation, however.
"Well, Jane Rizzoli. Would you care to sit and tell me why you are here?" She said, putting down the hairbrush.
"It happens to be a rather long story." The woman named Jane replied shortly.
"I have time," Was the reply, "Coffee or tea?"
"Coffee please."
As Maura went to make the coffee, Jane considered how much she should tell her. With a sigh, she decided to tell the woman everything.
"And when I realized, by the end of that first time that I saw the circus, that you made the whole show worthwhile. I knew I needed to see you again. So I've been following the show ever since."
This was Jane's ending to an indeed rather lengthy story about how her mother dragging her and her two younger brothers, Tommy and Frankie, to a circus, like they were little again, and making them sit through the whole thing.
Maura couldn't help herself from asking,
"Why did you find me so interesting? And why did you decide to come find me now?"
"Well, I found you so interesting because.." Jane was rather lost for words. "Because you were so perfect. And as for coming to find you now, I just got the courage."
Maura found that as Jane was talking, she just couldn't look the brunette in the eyes. She looked at her lips, her neck, her curves. When Jane stopped talking, hazel eyes snapped back up to meet dark brown ones.
"There had to be more of a reason than that." She said, "It isn't possible to be perfect. I just know how to cover my mistakes."
As she looked Jane in the eyes, she saw something change. She saw realization dawn deep inside.
"While I was watching you, I think I fell in love with you!" Jane blurted.
Maura looked at her in surprise. Jane figured out what she just said. She stood up and started backing towards the door.
"Oh. Oh, no. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I'm just going to go now. I'm sorry for ruining your night."
As Jane turned and began to flee towards the door, Maura regained her senses and ran forward, grabbing the other womans arms, and spinning her around. She pressed her against the door, leaning close.
"Well that's funny, because as you were talking, I fell in love with you too." Maura whispered against Jane's lips, and closed the gap between their lips.
AN- I don't really know whether I should continue or not. What do you guys think?
