A/N: Hey, I'm back again. Woo. So, I'm updating quicker than I thought, my little brain conjured up a chapter and I needed to share. How exciting for you all.
So this chapter contains major Jisbon (BEST NEWS RIGHT) whether it will give you any answers or not I don't know, but I really wanted to write some Jisbon because everyone loves them. And it has quite a big cliff-hanger at the end (well I thought so.)
Guest: I'm pleased you find it intriguing, I wasn't sure it people would be interested but they are so I'm happy. Here's the update!
Disclaimer: Still don't own The Mentalist. But Gary is my creation. Mwahaha.
Now, I want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has reviewed my story, favourite it and followed and you all can have big hugs from me. But there is one person who always writes me the longest reviews and points out so many things which I kind of missed.
So JaneDoe1, I'm dedicating this chapter to you. Enjoy.
Ps: I've changed my pen name cos I hate my last name. So I'm still here (:
It wasn't easy for him, seeing her so happy. Of course she deserved happiness, god she deserved it more than she knew. She was the most selfless person ever and it was only time she found someone. But he had always hoped she would find happiness with him.
Jane looked over from his couch and watched her. It was his favourite pastime. Lisbon was stood with Gary, smiling as he played with her hair. Jane smiled sadly as Lisbon pulled Gary in for a kiss, her soft lips lingering on his. Gary pulled back, grinning.
Of course, since Gary magically was assisting on this case they could be loved up as they wanted. Jane pondered, wondering why he didn't know what Gary did yet. Why hadn't it clicked into place for him?
He really needed to get back into gear.
He looked away as Lisbon kissed Gary again, and he muttered again.
"Right guys, SACPD want to clean the crime scene as the Johnson's want to go home. Seems suspicious but whatever."
They had had a new case in, another victim of this supposed serial killer. Jane was beginning to suspect that Gary had something to do with it, that he was the killer. He chuckled to himself. Ha, imagine that Lisbon falling for a murderer. That would teach her.
"Something funny Jane? Something you'd like to share?" Lisbon's stern voice brought him back to reality and he felt his grin fall off of his face.
"No boss. Just got an idea as to who the murderer could be."
Lisbon glared at him a while longer, before walking off muttering something to Cho. Almost immediately the team got back to work, apart from Jane and Gary. Jane noticed they were the only two not doing something so he decided to grab some tea.
"Jane?" Gary's voice rang out from the bullpen. Jane stopped in his tracks not ready for another lecture from Gary. Why didn't this man understand that he did not like him?
"I just wanted to ask you something. About the wedding?"
"Yes?"
Gary smiled to himself and took a step closer to Jane. "I know you and I have had our differences, with us both being in love with Teresa and me actually succeeding in courting her. But she does still care about you, you know? And well the other day she suggested an idea to me, but she feels embarrassed to ask you. So I thought I would take the liberty."
He took a breath in and smiled at Jane.
"Teresa and I, well mainly Teresa, would love to invite you to our wedding."

"I suppose you think its funny don't you?!" He asked, as he stormed into Lisbon's office. This was going to be the first proper time they had spoken to each other without anyone else around.
"I'm sorry?" She asked, genuinely curious.
"Don't act dumb Lisbon, it doesn't suit you." He stopped pacing and glared at her. "Inviting me to your wedding, is that how you get your kicks?!"
He was on a rage, taking no survivors. He didn't care if he hurt Lisbon. She had hurt him enough.
"I haven't invited you to my wedding. I don't want you there."
"Oh ha ha. Gary just told me you want me at your wedding. Is it so you can get a good laugh? 'Oh look at Jane, all depressed and upset because his precious Lisbon is marrying another man'. Well guess what? I couldn't care less. I don't even love you anymore!"
To say Lisbon was annoyed was an understatement. Her face filled with an unknowing rage and she stood from behind her desk and walked over to him.
"How dare you! How dare you! You have been missing from my life for 3 years. 3 years Jane! Do you have any idea what that did to me? No, you wouldn't because you weren't here!" Her eyes started to brim with tears, and Jane automatically began to feel guilty.
"Lisbon, I..."
"No. It's my turn to talk now. So sit down and listen for once in your life!"
Jane reluctantly sat down and waited. Lisbon pinched the bridge of her nose and stood in front of him.
"Jane, when you left I was angry. I first thought you left for yet another Red John scheme and again hadn't bothered to tell me. But when it got to 6 months and you still hadn't come back I just assumed it was going to be longer this time round.
"That's when I tried to call you. But you'd switched numbers, switched everything. I had no way to contact you. And that is when I realised, I had lost you forever." She quickly wiped the tears away from her eyes.
"3 years Jane. 3 years you have been gone and you can't even give me any answers as to why. And then you come in here and yell at me because I could possibly want my best friend to be at my wedding. Gary thought I was mad, wanting to invite you after what you did..."
"Excuse me? What I did? What about what you did?" Jane stood up and they were stood face to face, inches away from each other. "Lisbon, you broke my heart. And you had no reason to. Of course I'm going to be mad. You're marrying a man who you barely know when you've known me the longest but you wouldn't even give me the time of day!"
Lisbon gaped at him, opening and closing her mouth a few times before considering what to say. She took a step back from, uncomfortable with their closeness.
"I do know Gary; I've known him for 2 years Jane. When you weren't here. He was there for me when you left without any warning!" Her voice was rising once more and Jane could see her cheeks reddening.
"Well I wasn't about to stay around here when the woman I love didn't love me back!"
"Of course I love you, you idiot!" Lisbon gasped and threw her hand to her mouth, eyes widening at the revelation she had just spilled. Jane was staring at her, but he could feel the tug of a smile hinting at his lips.
He barely noticed Lisbon run out of her office. Lisbon loved him. Lisbon loved him.
So why did she deny it 3 years ago?
Jane was still recovering from the shock of Lisbon being in love with him when she called him into her office.
It had been a day since she had accidently revealed herself and he couldn't wipe the stupid grin off of his face.
However, it would seem Lisbon wasn't as impressed.
She had been angry with everyone today, snapping at officers, victim's families, even her Gary. That had made Jane chuckle. Gary had tried to calm her down; tame would be a better word to use. Lisbon had fought against his arms and almost screamed his head off.
So today probably wasn't the best day for Jane to try his plan at catching out their killer. Jane in the end was right, much to Lisbon's chagrin.
The 'PJK Killer' turned out to be a middle aged couple, who were mourning the loss of their teenage daughter. They felt she died unjustly and were taking their anger on young girls who looked very similar. Jane understood their pain, wanting to take your anger out on anyone who is nearby but unlike them, he knew when to stop.
Jane had tried to hypnotise the woman into revealing herself, yet her husband had come home early. He found his wife and Jane and immediately assumed the worst. He chained them both up and was on the verge of killing them, when Lisbon and the team had turned up.
Lisbon hadn't wanted to deal with Jane at the scene and he knew his punishment was coming fast.
Jane was sat in her office and he was aware that Lisbon was glaring and yelling at him but he didn't pay attention to her words.
He was watching her and taking in her beauty. He noted how her hair was falling around her face, strands flowing in front of her eyes. Her eyes were a darker shade of emerald, probably of her being angry at him.
Her ivory skin was a little red, her cheeks full of that gorgeous blush he adored so much. Her small frame was shaking with rage, and despite her being tiny she still held all the power.
But his favourite part of Lisbon was her lips.
They were a deep shade of red today, fuller than normal. He noticed she bit her lip when she was considering what to say, licked them when she took a breath and touched them when she stopped talking.
He honestly wondered how he had gone this long without ever touching them with his own lips.
"Jane, you could have ruined the entire investigation! You put everyone's lives in danger! Do you realise this? Jane? Jane?!"
"Sorry what?"
"Oh for goodness sake Jane. This is what I'm talking about. You never listen. You al..." Lisbon continued to rant whilst Jane zoned out once more. He couldn't help but watch her again, she truly was breathtaking. He wished he had stuck around, made her realise how great they would be together but she was someone else's now.
Yet when she bit her lip again, Jane couldn't take it anymore. It was now or never. He got up from her couch and took the few steps to where she was standing.
He moved a strand of hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear. She shivered at the slight touch and he smiled warmly at her.
Then he broke the friendship line as he finally took her lips as his own.
He kissed her softly at first, getting accustomed to her taste. He wouldn't go any further until Lisbon accepted him. It took a few moments but he knew he had succeeded when he heard a slight moan escape her lips.
He grinned and pushed his tongue into her mouth. She happily accepted and he felt her arms curl around his neck and her fingers crawl into his hair. The kiss became much more passionate, Jane keen to learn Lisbon all over again. She tasted sweet, and he was happy to enjoy her over and over.
He broke it quickly so he could pick her up and place her on her desk. Almost immediately she grasped his lapels and pulled him back to her. The kiss was hot, intense, 13 years of longing pulled into one moment.
But as soon as it started, it ended.
Lisbon pulled away first and gasped. She placed her hand to her mouth, just as she had done the day before. She squeaked and got down from the desk, pushing Jane away as she did so. She ran to the door and yanked it open.
"Y...y...ou...sh...Should...G. ."
"Lisbon, please."
"I really need you to go. Please." She refused to meet his gaze, a common occurrence he had picked up on since he had been back. Jane sighed and walked on over. He placed his hand under her chin and lifted her face to him.
"You shouldn't feel guilty Lisbon. It's obvious what your heart wants. Why not listen to it for a change?" He whispered, letting his sweet breath run over her face. She trembled slightly before composing herself.
"Get. Out. Now."
Jane nodded and let her face go, leaving her office and sulking past the bullpen. This was not his day.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
He smirked to himself, watching the scene unfold.
He had just watched Patrick Jane kiss his fiancée Teresa Lisbon and she had kissed him back.
He walked away from her office and smiled to himself.
His plan was slowly coming together.
They just didn't know it yet.
A/n: ooh. How did you find that chapter? Like the kiss? Like the sort of cliff-hanger? Leave me a review and thoughts and I'll probably update at the weekend. (:
