Chapter 2:
"Of course."
The minutes keep dragging by, I look up at my cold on the wall where it shows 3:07pm. This day has been treacherous I just want to see Jane. Ever since this morning when we reconciled and I stopped caring about her being right. I can't to see her, I want to have dinner and go back to my house. I like when we just sit on my couch and talk about the world. Jane is the center of my world but she doesn't know that. She protects me, cares for me, and most of all she makes sure that I am always happy. Little does she know that I could be even more happy if I could make her mine, she belongs with me and I belong with her. I have had all these boyfriends that I am not interested in because I am just trying to fill in the void of not holding Jane in my arms at night, I don't even stay the night with them because for some reason I am betraying Jane even more. My heart belongs to her and I will always be hers no matter who I am with. My life would be nothing if I didn't have her in it, that is why I am as content as I can with my daydreams about my hot best friend. If I wasn't so chicken I would say something but at the same time I have always been the dominant one when it comes to us. I started noticing that lately that she becomes shy and almost submissive when we are alone. She likes when I take charge, and for some reason I like it. I haven't alway liked being in charge because with my boy toys and some of the girls I always let them take charge. Yet when I am with Jane everything is so different, I love seeing her want to relinquish control to me. I think part of it she doesn't realize because it is always with me and when I ask about it she doesn't get it or understand what I am trying to say to her but that's okay we will get there in due time.
Jane POV:
I am currently sitting at my desk replaying the interactions between Maura and I lately because something is off with me and I don't know what it is, I have never been one to let people have control of me but with Maura it is so different I can't help but want to give it to her. There is something about her that makes me feel like I want to give all of me to her but I just wish she felt the same way about me. I honestly do not think that she even likes me that way in the slightest. And something about me telling her makes me feel weird because even if she does like me more than a friend I want her to make the first move even though I don't think it will ever happen.
Maura POV:
The clock finally strikes 5:01 and I am already on my way out the door, I text Jane, Meet at the Dirty Robber in ten?
Instantly I feel my buzz and she that it is a text back from Jane. Yes I am on my way to my car now.
I drive carefully over to the Dirty Robber, I get us a table for two and tell that Jane will join me shortly. They know who we are since we are always in here. I sit with my back facing the door because Jane always likes to know who comes in and leaves just for safety precautions. Every time I would hear the door open I would turn around to see if my Jane had arrived by about the fifth person it was finally her.
"Hi Maura." She says with a bright smile on her face.
"Hello Jane, how are you?"
"I am well Maura." She says in her small voice. I love that voice. I can't help but want to drag into my bedroom but I can't do that. Maybe I will tell her today how I feel, I mean our friendship is so solid if she doesn't reciprocate then we can just laugh about it and go on with our regular lives together. I don't think it will do a lot of damage.
A waitress comes over and I order for Jane and I because I know what she gets plus she likes when I order for her. Once our food comes we eat a comfortable silence. After dinner I ask Jane if she would like to come over to my house. She of course says yes. She loves coming over. She calls my home her getaway.
My drive back to my house was silent because I was in my own head trying to figure out what to say. Tonight is the night, I have made my decision I will tell Jane how I feel. Life as I know it will change tonight, if she says yes or no it will affect our friendship.
