" Oh, do we have to? " Lisbon sighted.
" Yea, we have to! It'll be fun! " Smiled Grace. " And we've nothing else to do, so don't complain! "
" Sounds like fun! " Grinned Jane.
" We are a little too old for that! " Said Lisbon.
" C'mon! You're never too old for that! Cho and I are also joining in! " Smiled Rigsby.
" Fine! But I'm not happy about this! " Lisbon finally said.
Jane and Lisbon were still sitting on the couch, so Van Pelt, Rigsby and Cho sat doen in front of them. " You wanna start, Grace? " Jane asked.
" Yea. So… We start with Rigsby. Truth or dare? "
" Truth! Definitely truth… "
" What was the most embarrassing moment in the last year? "
They went on like this and by the time evening came they all were enjoying the game. Everybody except for the five of them had left and slowly they went braver with the questions and duties.
" Next is Lisbon! " Grace announced. " Truth or dare? "
" Dare! " She said smiling. ' Oh, god! What have you just done?! ' She thought.
' Shouldn't have said that..' Van Pelt grinned inwardly. " You have to sit on Jane's lap for the rest of the evening ! " She grinned.
" Do I have to? " Lisbon begged.
" That's the game! You have to! I even kissed Cho on the cheek! " Said Rigsby, hiding a laugher. Sighting Lisbon pushed herself up onto Jane's lap. He had a hard time not to start grinning. ' Best duty yet! ' He thought and put his arm around her waist. Instantly she blushed
but did, to their both surprise, nothing to stop him.
" But now it's you turn Grace! " Jane grinned. " I'm sure Teresa will find something 'interesting' "
" So; Truth or dare? " Lisbon asked, ignoring the fact that Jane had called her by her first name.
" To be fair, I choose dare as well. " She sighted.
Lisbon had no idea what to tell her to do. Jane gently pulled her hair aside and whispered something into her ear, what made her giggle like a little girl.
Van Pelt shot Rigsby an amused glare and they both had to hide a grin; The plan was working!
" Grace, you have to kiss someone on the cheek. You can choose. " Lisbon smiled.
" Why? " Van Pelt asked.
" C'mon Grace! It's just a meaningless kiss! " Jane said.
" Great… " Grace sighted sarcastically and stood up. She knew she couldn't kiss Rigsby, because she was pretty sure that she wouldn't stop anytime soon. Cho was a little too…
Cho-ish… That left Jane. She realized that Lisbon probably would be jealous and the thought of that was pretty good, a bit mean, but still good enough to do it. So she walked over to the couch and gently kissed Jane on the cheek. Then she went straight back to her seat. She looked at Rigsby, who shot her a glare which was telling ' what the hell was that?'.
She ignored it. " So, now it's Jane's turn! " Van Pelt smiled.
" Dare…" Jane sighted. " To make it short. "
" Ok… If you want it short… Just kiss Lisbon. " Grace yelled. " On the lips. For at least seven seconds. "
" What?! " Jane and Lisbon shouted at the same time.
" Like you told me, it's just a meaningless kiss. " Grace teased. " You have to do it! "
Jane sighed. He knew he had to do it. It wasn't that he didn't want to, there was nothing he'd rather do in fact! The only reason he hesitated was because he didn't know if she felt the same way. He didn't know if she felt this love inside her, growing with every second, the electricity running through her body with every touch. He wasn't sure if she had all these kinds of emotions flooding her mind every second they were together.
" Earth to Jane! " Van Pelt grinned. " Are you going to move anytime soon? "
" Hhmmm..? Yea, yea…" He said and looked at Lisbon, who was also a bit irritated.
" You ok with that? " He whispered into her ear.
Sure she was ok with it, how could she not? " Yea, probably we have to…" She whispered back. She was still sitting on his lap, curled up close against him.
He slowly put one hand in her neck and wrapped one arm around her small waist, pulling her even closer until their faces were only half an inch apart. Tightly she wrapped her arms around him and closed her eyes. The very moment when their lips touched, everything around them disappeared. It was only the two of them. They went more passionate every second and with every second their love for each other swelled in their hearts.
Grace looked at her watch; already more than ten seconds. Grinning she stood up and went out, pulling Rigsby and Cho behind her.
Jane and Lisbon didn't even notice that. They were so overwhelmed by their feelings and the obvious feelings of the other one. When they finally broke apart, Jane pulled her into a tight hug. " I love you…" He breathed into her ear.
" I love you too…" She responded breathlessly.
Never they'd thought that seven seconds could change their whole lives. Seven seconds full of love and affection had instantly replaced their future of dreams. Now their dreams were gonna be true…
