Maura sat their trying to deal with her dilemma, which clothes was she going to need. Based upon the weather report she looked up, the place would be warm and sunny. However she did not want to get any revelations while she was there. Maura sipped on her glass of wine staring at her wardrobe, her thoughts were interrupted as she heard the doorbell.
Jane sighed and ran a hand through her hair, the last two days of working made her question her choice of careers. When the door opened however her frown quickly turned into a smile. Maura stood there in her pajamas still grinning from ear to ear, just like she had been for the last two days. It was like she was in high school and just won the science fair or something.
Maura slowly made her way upstairs" Come on in Jane, there is a beer in the cooler if you need one. I desperately need your help upstairs though ,ok."
Jane closed the door and removed her boots, she could only wonder what her problem could be. She probably packed so much clothes that she couldn't close her suitcase, which is saying something since Maura had nice luggage. Grabbing a beer she glanced down at bass in the kitchen ," Hey Bass, we might be able see some of your cousins."
Heading upstairs sipping on her beer Jane walked into the bedroom and stopped ," Maura, why does your suitcase look mostly empty. We leave first thing tomorrow."
Maura turned to Jane with a desperate look in her eyes," Jane I am not sure what to wear. I already have my swimming wear however what else should I bring, some formal wear or more of the casual wear?"
Jane sat down on the edge of the bed, leave it to Maura who probably never went to a beach without it being a function of some sort. " Well no heels for one, you and me are just going to relax and enjoy ourselves. No friends or family to bug us, away from everyone."
" Well at least I know you don't have Monophobia. Based upon the weather report it seems that the weather will be warm during the duration of trip however based upon the keys location 24 and 25 degrees latitude the weather is mostly tropical, means its warm but it could rain." Maura sat down next to Jane taking another sip from her glass.
Jane wrapped an arm around her and gave her a one arm hug," Really Maura, what you need is pants or shorts that are comfortable for warm weather. You don't want to bring anything fancy unless you want it dirty, other then the suite which I don't see us being in for very long, were going to be surrounded by the beach and the water."
Maura frowned at this response, she of course had pants made out several different types of material. Her best bet would probably be linen. Grabbing the hand on her shoulder she gave it a gentle squeeze before standing," Your right. Have you already packed? You are spending the night correct? It would make sense that since I live closer to the airport we both would depart together in the morning."
Jane rolled her eyes, she had to analyze everything. Taking another drink of beer she couldn't help but grin, she knew Maura was excited and maybe even nervous. She wondered who would be the leader on this field trip, Maura seemed to have things planned however she liked to play things by ear. " Duffel bag is in the car Maura. Yes we've already discussed this sheesh, I'm spending the night. Take a chill pill Maur."
After an hour of the chief M.E talking and showing her the different outfits she was unsure about, Jane had to get out of the room. Getting up and stretching she made her way downstairs, placing the bottle in the recycling bin she sat down on the couch and picked up the TV controller. Thankful that Maura has an extensive amount of channels including sports. Tomorrow they would be gone for a week, away from her mother, her brothers, and away from all the insanity she saw from Boston almost everyday.
Maura, happy with the choice she made was curious on where Jane went. Heading downstairs she saw the TV on and a Jane resting on the couch. Upon closer inspection the could tell the detective was asleep. She wasn't sure how many times she found the detective passed out on her couch after her last incident with Hoyt. She knew during that time Jane was only worried about Maura's safety, that Jane felt a twinge of guilt that Maura got injured. However they worked out those problems, it took a lot of endeavor however they worked it out together, just like they always did.
Feeding bass and turning off the TV she approached Jane and gently shook her," Jane come on, its time for bed."
" After the game."
" Come on Jane, we got a big day ahead of us," Maura smiled as Jane slowly rose rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. Maura held her hand and dragged her upstairs, she gave Jane a look as she realized she was in her work clothes still. She hated for Jane to sleep in her clothes but most of all, her work clothes in her bed simply wasn't going to happen. Once in the room Jane grumbled and almost threw herself on the bed before Maura stopped her.
" You are not sleeping in the bed like that. You have some better sleepwear in the bathroom ok ."
" Ok Ma, hope they have ponies on them and are you going to tuck me in too." Jane mumbled as she made her way into the bathroom. She wasn't surprised to see she left some clothes over here and Maura cleaned them and folded them as well. Slipping on the sweatpants and the t-shirt she yawned and grabbed her toothbrush that was always left here. Brushing her teeth she made her back to bed after she was done, turning off the light she snuggled underneath the warm blanket. She would never admit it but Maura's bed was very comfortable, a lot more then hers. Turning on her side she scooted closer to Maura, she was thankful to have such a caring friend.
"Goodnight Maur."
"Goodnight Jane."
