Guys.. i'm so very busy and because I made some changes I had to write this whole chapter. It wasn't in the original story so yeah.. I kinda just wrote this and it's 2am or something. It's gonna be short and with little Castle reference, you'll have more in the next chapter. But I do hope you enjoy it, cause it's full of Jane and Maura :)
Reviews are what keeps me going. I mean it.
XD
P.s: Sorry for grammer mistakes, had no time to check.
Maura and Jane were sitting on Jane's couch. They both already had a couple of drinks and Jane just brought them both a new beer and a new glass of wine, they were drinking more than usual but both needed it. Jane had insisted on Maura sleeping over because she just didn't want Maura to be alone when they were investigating this case. The blonde, of course, had said that Jane was exaggerating. But she had also said that she found it very sweet, from which she received an eye roll. Typically Jane.
She hadn't slept over at Jane's that much. Usually they slept at her place, because she also had a guest room. It's not that she didn't want her best friend in the same bed, the exact opposite actually. She was afraid she was going to wake up on top of Jane the next morning.
"Maura!" A hand appeared in front of her eyes and Maura jerked her head back, blinking rapidly.
"Sorry. But you weren't listening to me, were you?" the woman next to her asked. Maura smiled and turned her head. "Sorry Jane. I can't listen to you and think at the same time."
"I thought you were very good at multitasking?" Jane teased.
The doctor raised one finger and turned a bit on the couch so she could look Jane better in the eye.
"First of all, that doesn't have anything to do with multitasking, and second nobody can multitask. Research has shown that we can only really focus on one thing at the time, it's the speed of which we switch our attention from the one thing to the other that makes us believe that we are multitasking. But we are never actually equally focused on two things. That's not possible." Maura stated, a simple smile on her face.
Jane finished her beer in a couple of sips. "I can multitask. I can breathe and think at the same time."
Now it was Maura's turn to roll her eyes and take some of her wine. "Breathing is a reflex. That doesn't count." She took another sip of her wine, although she felt this should be a good time to stop. Her mind was already spinning.
After a few more silent moments (and some more drinking) the detective sighed, she had enough of this conversation. It was late and she was tired. When she stood up she realized she shouldn't have taken that last beer. She had a bit of trouble getting her balance but one she restored it she felt okay. Jane could handle alcohol very well, luckily for her. She then stared down at Maura, who was still sitting at the couch, finishing her wine.
"Come on Maura, let's get you to bed." The brunette said, standing next to the couch and yawning. Maura, however, stayed where she was.
"Did you know that when you stop drinking alcohol your blood alcohol level decreases about 0.01 percent per hour. That's very slow Jane."
"And also very interesting but right now, you have to drink some water and get into bed." Jane started walking toward the kitchen and grabbed a glass with some water for her friend. She already felt bad for her friend because she knew Maura's wasn't going to be feeling good in the morning, but to be honest Jane loved taking care of her.
"Here, drink this." She handed over the glass and sat on the couch again.
When the blonde finished her drink she put it down on the table. "Thank you Jane, but I don't feel that bad, really, I'm okay." She said as she went to stand up.
She immediately lost balance and was sort of jumping on one leg to restore her balance. Jane was fast and grabbed her arms before she fell.
"Let me help you." She said and went to stand in front of the couch. "Stand on it." She said to Maura. It took a couple of moments before Maura realized what she had to do and she went to stand on the couch, all the while giggling. Jane chuckled, she loved seeing her friend like this.
"Okay, now slowly put your hands around my neck and your legs around my waist." Jane said as she tried guiding the woman as much with her hands as possible.
"Jane! You don't have to carry me, I can walk!" The blonde said, voice thick from alcohol.
"Clearly." Jane said on a soft tone, then a bit clearer "just let me help you sweetie."
Maura nodded, although she knew Jane couldn't see it and she held onto the woman. Jane carried her to the bedroom and Maura found comfort in resting her head onto the woman's shoulder. She wished she could stay like this forever.
Before she knew it, she was in Jane's bedroom. The detective was in the bathroom changing and she saw that there were also PJ's next to her. She recognized them as her own and realized she must have left them here one time. She put them on and waited for Jane to return.
When Jane came back into the bedroom Maura was already asleep. She climbed into the bed next to the blonde and whispered a sweet goodnight before she shifted as close to her as possible without touching. She was asleep moments after that.
When Maura woke up the next morning her head was pounding. She remember most of the things from last night, just maybe the last hour was missing. That wasn't good.
She turned in the bed only to find it empty. "Hey, sleepyhead, awake finally?"
Maura turned her head towards the entry of the bedroom where Jane was standing. As Maura could see Jane had already taken a shower and she was dressed already. She was now holding a bowl of cereal in her hands.
"What time is it? Why aren't we at work yet?" The blonde asked.
Jane smiled. "9 o'clock and sorry, I forgot to tell you. We're going to New York."
Maura's eyes widened. "New York as in New York City? Why?" She wondered why Jane hadn't mentioned it last night. If they were really going she needed time to pack.
"We have a suspect there that we can't bring over here so we are going to the NYPD to question him over there. We'll be staying until tomorrow." She explained while eating some more.
"NYPD, why does that mean something to me?" Maura asked herself. Her face then all of the sudden opened up. "Lanie! Lanie works at the NYPD."
Jane frowned. She had heard of Lanie. Lanie was one of Maura's old friends from medical school. If this was going to be a reunion than she was going to make sure that she stayed the hell away from her friend.
"For all I know is that we'll be seeing a-" she grabbed her phone from the nightstand and went through her text messages, "a detective Kate Beckett."
The blonde nodded.
"Well, anyway, we have to be at the airport at 1 so you better hurry up."
Within seconds Maura was out of bed and rushing into the shower. Jane chuckled. She was going to love this trip. She just wondered how she was going to control herself, alone with Maura, in a hotel.
sorry for grammer mistakes, had no time to check. Hope you enjoy it though. Thanks for the reviews/follows and favorites so far. Really means a lot. Thanks guys!
Love, Esmee
