Ch 4: A New Chapter of Our Lives
Jane and Maura are returning to Jane's apartment building after a dinner date between the two of them. The ladies have dating almost a month now, and things are going well. Jane's mother and brothers know about them along with their co-workers, yet the only one who didn't know of their relationship was Nikki. Jane didn't fear explaining to her daughter that she was dating a woman, but that she was dating anyone.
For the longest time it was just the two of them, and Jane was excited to see where this relationship with Maura would go. However she was also concerned for Nikki, and how this would change her life. If things went well would they move in together, would they find a new place, if a job opened up somwhere else would they follow one another? There was a lot for Jane to think about, not just for herself, but for Nikki too. Jane hoped it would be an exciting and rewarding adventure.
"I had a good time tonight." Maura told Jane.
"Me too. The restaurant you picked was very good."
"I knew you'd like it. You'll have to pick something nextime."
"Hhm...I don't know if I could offer up something quite as fancy."
"Oh Jane, it doesn't have to be fancy. You're company is all I need."
The two lean in for a kiss goodnight.
"I'm gonna talk to Nikki about us this weekend. I'm really nervous about it."
"I'm sure it'll be okay, Jane."
"I'll let you know how it goes. Maybe we can all get together on Saturday."
"Sounds good." Maura said smiling leaning in for another kiss. "Goodnight."
"Night."
Jane took a deep breath, and made her way upstairs, hopefull that all would go well, and that good things would come her way.
