"Jane we need to talk"
"Here or inside?" he asked. Jane was sure she came to apologize and nothing else.
"It's chilly but still nice. Let's talk here"
"You still feel bad in my trailer , huh?" Jane smiled at her , she was soo stubborn sometimes.
"If by bad you mean claustrophobic then yes" they both laughed.
They sat on the grass, Jane covered Lisbon's arm with his jacket.
"Thanks" she whispered.
They didn't say a word for couple minutes. Lisbon broke the silence.
"Jane..what happened with us ? When you got back...it felt soo good and we were good, better than ever and then something happened. You steeped away"
"Well, you met Pike and I saw how happy you were with him. He makes you smile more than I do these days "
Lisbon was heartbroken. Pike was not the only good guy there. Maybe Jane was damaged and broken
but he was a good person too and he wanted her to be happy.
"I'm sure you noticed that he's not the one I love" she said
Jane looked at her with small, shy smile.
"Yeah ?"
Seeing him happy like that made her think that love is about making the other person happy, because
true love is not selfish.
"Yeah Jane"
Suddenly his face changed, he became sad again
"Soo, why are you going with him?"
"I broke up with Pike... Like two hours ago"
She was sure that she's close to having a heart attack. None of them knew what to do. Jane was scared. He was forced to forget about his feelings for couple years. He lived with a goal for more than ten years. It was always about revenge. Jane always thought about his life before Red John as his previous life. Sometimes he felt lost, or like a wicked man but Lisbon was always with him. No matter what, they were partners. Side by side, seven days a week for over ten years. Surrounded by death and darkness but there was always something light about their relationship.
Jane always smiled a lot but only because it was his mask, when he was with Lisbon his smile was honest. She always could make him smile, just seeing her was sometimes enough. They were soo different yet soo similar. Through the years they learned how to feel and read each other on a level no one else could .They were strong apart but unbreakable together, loyal to each other with desire to always stretch out a helping hand, no matter what.
"What now?" he asked quietly.
She grabbed his hand.
"Well, do you want us to be together?" She was scared that he will say no.
"Of course,more than anything. I'm not sure if I can...learn how to be in a serious relationship with
someone. I don't want to destroy what we have" Lisbon could swear that he was about to cry.
" Why would you ? We survived serial killers, psychos, deaths and nothing teared us apart. Soo I'm
pretty sure we're going to be alright , don't you think?" She smiled when she realized how much then
went through and that she's right. It only made them stronger. Jane knew that too , he had no reason to
be scared. He smiled at her.
" Yeah, I think soo too. I love you and I want to give this a shot. It's out live, let's forget about saving
the world for a moment and focus on our happiness for once."
Butterflies in Lisbon's stomach gone crazy when she heard Jane using " I love you " and "our live" in
one sentence. She was already happy.
" Yeah , let's do this. Be happy...together" It felt soo good to say it out loud.
Jane smiled at her in her favorite way and gave her a long, tender kiss. It was nothing like they
imagined, it was waay better.
They had to stop because they both forget about breathing.
"I had to call to Abbott and get back my job" she suddenly panicked. He loved her for ..no not for..in
spite of her workaholism. It made her who she was today.
" He will be okay with it, but I think you should do what I did and take one week of work"
Jane smiled mischievously.
"What I suppose to do with 7 days without work?" she asked amused.
"Well, I think we will figure something"
"Oh yeah?" she laughed.
They started kissing again. All of it got really intense . He picked her up in his arms and started
walking towards his trailer.
"Are we going to the silver bucket?" she asked a bit discouraged.
"Do you care?" He couldn't take his eyes of her. She was glad she's not standing right now because
this look made her knees very, very weak.
"No" she said truthfully
"Good" he started walking faster when she was kissing his neck and playing with his golden locks.
They both knew. That was it. Their second chance, their new life .
