So here's chapter 3! I hope you like it... I'm kind of unhappy with it but maybe it's not as bad as I think
The next morning Jane awoke to the aroma of coffee and the clangs of pots and pans. She dragged herself out of bed and made her way downstairs. She arrived in the kitchen to see Maura flipping pancakes, frying bacon, and scrambling eggs.
"You're finally up! I hope I didn't wake you, I just wanted to put together something special to celebrate how well things went last night."
"No, no; you didn't wake me up. Well you did but after seeing this it's definitely okay. Thanks Maur, it smells great."
Maura set a cup of coffee down with a small plate of bacon in front of Jane. Then she went back to get the pancakes. She took a deep breath before setting them in front of Jane. As soon as Jane saw what Maura was so nervous about, she smiled. Maura had made all of the pancakes in the shape of little hearts and spelled out 'I love you' in chocolate chips on the largest one.
"Aw Maura, I love you too. Thank you so much for doing this and making me feel so comfortable last night. I'm really glad we're transitioning into our relationship so well."
And with that she got up to give her a hug and lingering kiss. The two sat down to eat, Jane of course eating her pancakes while Maura was happy with the egg white omelet she had made for herself. Endosperm wasn't her thing. After breakfast, the couple showered and got ready for the day.
"So Jane, what do you want to do today? We have the whole day to ourselves."
"I was thinking we could maybe go to the spa for a mud bath like we did that one time then go to the Boston Pops Orchestra's concert in the park later on and maybe out to dinner after that. That is, if you would want to."
Maura was touched. She and Jane hardly ever got a day off and Jane had just offered to do all of the things Maura loved to do and none that she herself particularly enjoyed. She knew what a sacrifice that had been for Jane and it made her heart skip a beat just thinking of it.
"Jane, that sounds wonderful. Thank you for giving up your day off ad all the things you wanted to do just to make me happy."
"Maur please, just being around you makes me happy. I'm not giving up anything."
So the two of them headed for the spa. Once they arrived, the specialist handed them their robes and led them to the locker room where the couple undressed. Maura however, couldn't keep her eyes to herself. She took a quick peek over her shoulder at the lanky detective. Jane was flawless. Sure she had numerous scars across her body, proof of all she's been through, but those only made her more beautiful to Maura. Some of those scars came from Jane trying to protect Maura. As she thought about this, she didn't realize that Jane had already put her robe on and caught her staring.
"Uh Maura, aren't you going to get your robe on? Haha if I would have known you were planning on watching me undress, I probably would have tried to make it more entertaining. Come on, maybe if you behave for the rest of the day then I'll show you what I had in mind."
"Oh my gosh! Jane, I'm sorry. I didn't even realize what I was doing. But if I do say so myself, you have a very seductive build and I promise to behave. Especially when you're offering a reward like that."
"Well now Dr. Isles, you just really can't contain yourself…"
Jane strutted out of the locker room making sure to sway her hips a little more than usual just to tease the now very turned on medical examiner. This was going to be a long and angsty day.
Once Maura finished getting into her robe and calming herself done, she met up with Jane in the courtyard for their mud baths. This time though neither of the women could relax with all the sexual tension in the air. After a few hours of soaking, they washed off and headed over to the park for the concert.
The couple laid out the blanket they had brought on the grass and settled in. Maura had packed a small lunch for them so they had a small picnic while the orchestra warmed up.
"Maur, so far this has been the best day. I know we haven't been officially going out for very long but after being best friends with you for so long, it's like we've been together forever. I love you so much."
"I love you too, Jane. And like you said, I know we've only been dating for a week or so but since we know each other so well I was thinking…"
And just then the orchestra started playing and Maura was cut off. She respected the orchestra very much and didn't want to talk over them so she saved what she was about to suggest for later. Jane wanted to know what she was going to say, but she didn't want to have to bring it up on her own so she let it go, Maura would tell her sooner or later.
Throughout the concert Jane and Maura held hands, cuddled, and at one point even decided to lay back on the blanket and watch the clouds, the orchestra playing background music to their own little game. When the concert ended about an hour and a half later, Jane couldn't stop talking about how good the Boston Pops actually was while she rolled up the blanket.
"Maura, how come you never told me that the Boston Pops were decent? I would have taken you a long time ago!"
"Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed the concert. Come on, let's head over to dinner."
So the women drove over to the new restaurant and lounge that had just opened a few weeks ago. It was the hottest place in Boston and Jane had to bribe the hostess over the phone to get them a reservation. Once they got there they sat down at a booth across from each other. They ordered their drinks and then struck up a conversation about everyday things… which quickly deepened into more personal subjects.
"So Jane, what I was saying before the concert started… Well even though we just became a couple, we've always been close and I really care about you. And it's moments like this, and all those other times today, that I realize how long I've really been in love with you. I can't believe you're finally mine, and I'm yours. So while I'm not saying we should go ahead and get married or anything just yet, and we can certainly still take things slowly physically wise if you want to, I would really want you to move in with me. If you don't want to spend every night with me just yet, there's always the guest room but I've almost lost you too many times and just having you near me comforts me. I'm sorry if this all sounds silly."
Jane took a second to fully comprehend what the medical examiner was saying. The fact that they were dating made Jane happy. Maura wanting her to move in was enough to put Jane over the edge! Jane smiled and kissed the honey blonde over the table.
"When should I start packing?"
Sure to other people there relationship may seem rushed, but they had been friends for years and truth be told, there had always been feelings between the two of them. This was just the sensible next step. And like Maura had said, this didn't mean things had to be rushed between them. The only thing that may be a problem would be convincing Angela to move into Jane's apartment so the couple could have their space.
Suddenly dinner didn't seem too appealing for the two women, they both just wanted to get home to start planning out the move!
I can't help but feel like I'm rushing this story along but as stuff comes to me I just jump into it. Please R&R! This is my first multi-chapter story and second story overall, I could use some help and suggestions. Thank you for reading!
