I had updated this story before on another account, but I don't use that one anymore. So I put it into the collection of stories with this genre ( I know, three chapters is not really that much, but it might expand some day)
So, a little story about Jane and Lisbon. He annoys her, again...
Touchy Tess
Jane walked towards Lisbon's office and opened the door. He watched his boss sitting at her desk. Little drops of sweat appeared on her forehead. As a madman she was typing on the keyboard and clicking with her mouse.
It was obvious that when she got out of control of something, she got furious. This time it happened to be the computer that had to suffer under her rage.
"Knock, knock," he said with a grin when she didn't pay attention to him. He paused a second.
"Come on, Lisbon. Your turn. Say: who's there?"
"Well," she began, her eyes still on the screen, "that can only be my pain-in-the-ass-consultant, am I right?"
"No, no, you're playing it wrong!" He dramatically fell down on his knees acted like the world was falling apart.
"For Heaven's sake, Jane!" she snarled at him. "Stop being so damn childish and help me if you have nothing else to do."
He got up - disappointed he couldn't make her smile by doing an act - and walked behind her to see what she was doing. "What's the matter, my dear Lisbonbon."
"I can't login somehow," she said through gritted teeth and slapped the screen in frustration. "And 'Lisbonbon'? What the hell was that, Jane? You call me by my name, without any addition, understood?"
"Yes, Teresa." He couldn't resist it.
Lisbon sighed and rolled her eyes before she turned her head to face him. "If you can't behave properly, then go and get Van Pelt for me, will you? Maybe she can fix this."
"Then promise you'll stop banging the keyboard and hitting the screen. The poor thing. As if it is his fault you don't know how to treat it well."
"Jane!" She tried to scowl, but she couldn't help but smiling.
"I'm highly disappointed, Lisbon," he pouted. "Can't you come up with a nice nickname for me? 'Lisbonbon' was rather good, I thought," he said before he headed towards the door.
"Alright. How about... 'Jackass Jane'? It fits you perfectly, doesn't it?" she grinned. "And now get Grace in here, please!"
"Oh, very funny!" He halted on the threshold and turned. "My turn, uhm. 'Mighty Midget'. I like that one. Or what do you think of 'Terror-striking Tess'? Which one do you prefer?"
"Okay, you take that back, Jane! I may be small, but I'm definitely not terror striking!" She growled.
"No, you're right, not funny. Let's keep it on 'Touchy Tess' then." He gave her one of his charming smiles when he noticed that her eyes started to flash fire and closed the door behind him.
"JAAANE!"
Van Pelt jumped up at the yelling voice of her boss. What was going on? She sighed in disbelief when she saw Jane approaching her with the grin on his face. Oh, no. What did he do this time? She looked up at him as he tapped her on the shoulder in passing her desk.
"Good luck, Grace."
I love to write and read stories like these. Has anyone a new idea? I'd love to hear some suggestions for another chapter. Unfortunately my inspiration level has dropped to zero :(
