It had been three weeks since that night in the Mountains. Jane (or Jake) and Maura had been on several dates since then, the two of them forming a close bond. They had taken their time to get to know each other, talking about everything and anything. Jane found out that Maura was adopted and that her mother didn't really take an interest in what she was doing. Jane had commented on that, telling her that that probably wasn't true, but when Maura came up with a few scenarios, she was forced to admit that the honey blonde had been right.
It had bothered Jane and even after their date had ended, she kept thinking about it. About the differences between them and their family. But Maura was happy she reasoned with herself. And she would do everything she could to make up for whatever Maura missed out on.
They hadn't only gotten close in the sentimental sense, but they had gotten close physically too. They had gotten pretty far in several cases. Jane had been relieved when they had gotten interrupted, not knowing how to tell Maura she couldn't sleep with her. It wasn't as if she hadn't thought about it, but she couldn't come up with a good excuse. Or at least an excuse that would be believable for a guy to use.
But other than that, everything was going pretty good and Jane was happy. Of course, Frost was still apprehensive, reminding her every day that she should tell Maura or cut it off. And Jane knew that he was right, but she wasn't going to stop now. Not when everything was going so well. Besides, if they would fall in love, it wouldn't matter anymore… right? Jane wasn't sure about it, but at the moment she didn't really care anyway. As long as she could spend time with Maura.
And Frankie was still wondering why his sister was borrowing his clothes, but he hadn't asked anything since he ran into her wearing his clothes. She was glad he didn't, she didn't really want to tell him the real reason for her odd behavior. The less he knew, the less he could tell their mother.
Right now, Jane and Frost were just about to head home after school, happy that it was Friday and they would have the weekend off. Well, besides the game the next day, but that wasn't considered school in any way. It was what they had been discussing, when Jane suddenly stopped dead in her tracks, her eyes focused on something in the distance.
Frost initially didn't notice and he was a few feet away from his friend when he noticed he was walking alone. Turning around, he called out to Jane. The girl didn't react, her eyes still focused on the same thing. Frost frowned and turned around, trying to find the thing that held his friend's attention. He shrugged, not finding anything out of the ordinary and trudged back to his friend, waving his hand in front of her face.
This seemed to snap her out of her haze. She reached out and grabbed his arm, her eyes darting between him and whatever was out there.
"Frost." She whispered, her grip tight.
"What?" He asked, trying to get out of her hold. But to no avail. Eventually he gave up, looking at his friend.
"She's here." Frost raised an eyebrow, once more letting his eyes travel around.
"Who?" He had no idea why they were whispering. He turned his gaze back to Jane, waiting for her answer.
"Maura." Frost's eyes widened for a moment. He snapped his head back to the crowd in front of him, trying his hardest to find someone he didn't know. Jane had told him what Maura looked like, but it was still hard to actually find her.
"Where is she?" He asked, after again failing to find her.
Jane pointed somewhere in the distance, of to the side. Frost followed the trail, his eyes landing on one of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen.
"Wow. You said she was beautiful, but I didn't think she would be this hot." Jane snapped her eyes towards her friend, letting go of his arm and smacking him upside the head.
"Dude!" He gave her an innocent look, a sheepish smile on his face.
"Well, what are you going to do?" Jane shrugged.
"I don't know! Why is she here?"
"For Jake would be my guess." He watched as Jane's expression went from one of panic to understanding, her posture suddenly less rigid.
"Right, of course."
Frost smiled. "So, are you gonna go over there? Or are you gonna let her wait for someone who doesn't exist and let her stand there?" Jane seemed to think this over.
"Maybe I can help her." This time Frost laughed.
"You're going to hit on her? Dude, she's taken… by you. Even though she doesn't know it yet. And what if she recognizes you? A wig and some clothes don't change your whole appearance. Your face and voice are still the same." Jane frowned. Frost was right. She could change her voice, but what if she would recognize her face? Sighing, she watched as Maura smiled politely at the kids passing her, waiting patiently for someone who wasn't even here. Or… well, who was here but not as the person she was expecting.
"I'm going in." She said, making up her mind. Taking a deep breath, she left Frost standing there, looking at her retreating back and slowly but surely made her way to her crush.
Maura didn't seem to notice her at first, looking around. Only when Jane cleared her throat did Maura look at her.
"Can I help you?" She made her voice sound slightly higher and hoped that Maura wouldn't recognize her.
"I'm just waiting for someone thank you." Jane smiled. Always so polite. Shuffling on her feet, Jane continued.
"Maybe I can help? Do I know them?" Maura turned her eyes back to Jane, having already started to look around again.
"Maybe. His name is Jake, he goes to this school." Jane pretended to think it over, knitting her eyebrows together in thought.
"I know a Jake, but he already left. Some classes fell out, including his so." She watched as Maura's mouth made an 'o' shape, her eyes lighting up in understanding.
"I see. Well, thank you for helping me." Maura turned around, ready to head off. Jane watched her go for a second, before deciding she couldn't just let her walk off.
"Wait!" She called out, quickly catching up to her. Maura stopped, giving her a curious look.
"If you're free anyway, would you like to grab something to drink?" She knew it was a long shot. Maura wouldn't just say yes to that, not after all those dates she had taken her on. She knew that the two had a connection. Or at least, Jake and Maura did. But she could always try right?
Maura smiled at her, shaking her head. "No thank you." And just like that, Maura walked off, leaving Jane staring after her.
She sighed, shaking her head. It was worth a try.
"What happened?" She heard Frost ask, watching him stop next to her. "I asked her out and she said no."
Frost just looked at her for a moment. "You asked her out?" Jane nodded, biting her lip.
"You're really weird you know that?" Jane laughed. "What?! It was worth a shot. If she would've said yes I could've shown her that I'm way better than Jake."
"But you are Jake. How's that going to happen." Jane rolled her eyes.
"'Cause I keep thinking about what you would say in some situations. If I'm Jane, I can show her that girls are way better than guys. Sweeter, nicer. So, technically, you're kind of Jake too and I know I'm better than you with girls." She smiled sweetly at Frost, while the guy just laughed in her face.
"Weird and funny!"
Jane was on her way home when her phone buzzed. Taking it out of her pocket she saw that it was a text from Maura, asking her if she could come over that night. Texting back a reply, she slid her phone back in her pocket, a smile already plastered on her face.
As she left the house that night, she grabbed the bag which held her clothes and wig. She decided to keep it hidden behind one of the bushes, knowing that her family didn't really care about their garden. Getting on her bike, she rode a few blocks, stopping to change her clothes before continuing on her way. This had gotten a routine and thankfully it worked.
A few minutes later she got to BCU. Securing her bike, she entered Maura's building and walked the now familiar way to her room. She had barely knocked, or the door flung open and Maura pulled her inside. Throwing her arms around Jane's neck, their lips met in a passionate kiss. Pulling back for air, Jane smiled.
"What was that for?" Maura just shrugged.
"I missed you." She replied, smiling at Jane, before leaning in to capture her lips again.
"I missed you too." Jane replied once they broke apart.
Maura grabbed something for them to drink and they settled on the couch, Maura snuggling into Jane.
"I came to your school today." Jane tried to fake her surprise.
"Really? I didn't see you." She quickly took a sip, hoping that Maura bought it. She did come over quite convincing if she had to say so herself.
"Some girl told me that your classes fell through." Jane waited a beat and then. "And then she had the nerve to ask me out!" Maura huffed, clearly upset.
Jane bit back a laugh. "Well, who can blame her? Anyone would be lucky to go out with you."
Maura sat back up, her face serious. "You're really sweet Jake, but you're wrong. No one wanted to go out with me before you showed up. Everyone thinks I'm weird and they try to avoid me as much as they can. The only person that I actually get along with is Sarah my roommate. I'm the lucky one to have a guy like you."
Jane did her best to hold back her tears. She reached out, cupping Maura's cheek. "They're all stupid. They have no idea what they're missing out on." Maura smiled, tears shining in her eyes.
"I guess this is as best a time as any then." Jane said, sitting up straighter. Maura gave her a confused look, wondering what was going on.
Jane fully turned towards Maura, grabbing both of her hands in her own. They fit perfectly. She thought, a smile on her face.
"Maura Isles, would you like to be my girlfriend?" Maura's eyes widened in surprise. She let out a scream, before she propelled herself towards Jane, throwing her arms around her neck and burying her face in Jane's neck.
"Is that a yes?" Jane laughed, feeling Maura nod yes.
"Yes! Of course. Oh my God!"
Before Jane knew what was happening, Maura was straddling her, their tongues battling for dominance. She moaned, her hands traveling down Maura's side and slipping under her top. She shivered when she felt the soft skin. Her hand slowly traveled upwards, stopping when she felt Maura's bra. She saw her girlfriend pull back and smile down at her. She watched as Maura reached for the hem of her top and slowly pulled it up and off over her head. Jane swallowed thickly. She reached out her hand, touching the well-toned abdominal muscles.
Maura leaned back in, claiming Jane's lips. Jane moaned as she felt Maura's hand go under her own shirt, traveling over her abs, before she grabbed Jane's shirt and pulled back, staring into deep brown eyes…
A/N: Sorry to leave it right here, but I couldn't help myself. How is Jane going to get out of this situation? Stay tuned until next week! Let me know what you guys thought!
