B is for Bidding
Lisbon found herself at the auction house for the third time that week. She found it was a great way to get the furniture she needed for her new house at much cheaper prices too. Not that she had a house yet. No, today was the day they started to auction the houses; and she knew just which one she wanted.
The bidding started, and she was soon in the lead- battling it out with a bidder on the phone. They were still going when Lisbon had to admit defeat. She didn't have enough money to buy the house and eat for a year. So she gave up on the beautiful house. It was like a dream, she thought.
Lisbon was still grouchy when she got into work the next day. It was what made her snap at Jane more readily than she would have done normally.
"JANE!" she yelled, and he poked his head round the door
"Yeah?" he asked cheerfully
"Quit looking so smug ok? What happened anyway?" Although she wasn't sure she wanted an answer. Knowing Jane it would be anything from stuffing the exhaust in Le Roche's car with smarties (Apologies if people in America don't get smarties-I've got an obsession at the moment!) to seeing another woman.
Another woman? She thought suddenly What are you thinking Teresa Lisbon? Pull yourself together woman, you're just stressed at the moment!
Jane smirked, guessing her thoughts "Actually I just bought a really nice house"
She sighed, admitting defeat "Oh. That's nice"
"Wanna see a picture?"
"Sure why not" He was such a child sometimes, she mused
He took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
And she exploded. Almost literally.
"It was YOU!" she screamed, actually causing him to shrink backwards "I WAS AT THAT AUCTION AND YOU TOOK THAT DAMN HOUSE FROM ME!" she carried on, letting out everything until she had nothing more to have a go at him for.
"Look" He said calmly "If you felt that way, you only had to say"
Something in his voice calmed her down considerably. It's that smile. NO! Stop thinking like that woman!
"I'm sorry Jane. It's just been a horrible week, and that was gonna be my happy ending to all of this nonsense I've had to put up with. I am sorry. Truly" That heartfelt apology gained her a smile from Jane, who replied,
"It's alright Lisbon I understand" and he backed away towards the door "Besides, I don't mind if you wanna come live with me!"
And he ducked expecting a large, heavy item to be thrown at him.
But none came.
*grins mischievously* is it bad to laugh at your own writing? Ah well, who ever thought I was normal?
Review pleeeasee- such a wonderful part of my day :)
