Thank you all for reading and reviewing :)
Chapter 07
Jane had cried her eyes out as she arrived at her little apartment. She found the little camera that was hidden behind two books and destroyed it. Though the brunette couldn't help but wonder if there were more cameras in her apartment. Maybe in her bedroom? Or worse...the bathroom, recording her during her most private and vulnerable moments. She couldn't stay in her apartment anymore, that thought made her sick to her stomach. She checked into a nearby hotel room.
Emma knocked on Jane's door. After getting the call from her best childhood friend she had dropped everything. She was a spunky redhead, petite and very thin. She carried her khaki bag over her shoulder, wore a gret skirt, black boots and a beige top.
Jane let Emma into her hotel room and then hugged her immediatly. She was so glad that she came and had someone to talk to. At least, she wasn't alone. She was still unsure if she wanted to tell Emma that she had kissed a girl, her boss.
"Ok hey girl...I am here...sweetie," Emma said and hugged her best friend, swaying slightly to comfort her more. She loved Jane deeply. She had known her for soo many years that they felt like family.
"Tell me...what is going on...It's safe honey...it is..."
Jane slowly calmed down and only sobbed from time to time now.
"I...I..had to leave my apartment. Someone...someone installed a hidden camera there...I don't know how many are left there..." She sat down on her bed.
"I feel so dirty and used now, you know. And...I know you will think low of me now but...I made out with my boss...and it's on camera..." She sobbed. She didn't mention that her boss was a woman for a reason.
"Woah," Emma said and hugged Jane a bit tighter.
"Do you want to go back and we tear the place a part looking for all of them?" She asked and then gently released Jane to stare into her eyes as she said her next words. Jane saw Emma's face change to subtle surprise and then she didn't know what to say.
"Oh Jane...you shouldn't have done that...I mean...it could ruin things for you...I mean it's not wrong to love someone...but you really have to set boundaries for your job. You are going to meet a lot of very good looking people..." She wiped some tears from Jane's eyes, smiling gently at her.
"No I don't wanna go back to my place...I don't wanna be recorded anymore..." The Italian girl said. "And I know I shouldn't have kissed my boss...My boss fooled me in the end...I think it was my boss who installed the camera anyways..." Jane said and hugged Emma again.
"I don't think I wanna work as a model anymore...they are so many people that take advantage of you..."
"Ok honey, ok," Emma purred softly and hugged her best friend.
"Then stay with me for a while. I have room. You want to go get your stuff sweetie," she said and pulled back just enough to brush hair from Jane's face and smile at her.
"I tried to tell you, but you were just too good to listen. I hope now that you see what I was saying...that you understand," Emma said gently.
She nodded and new tears welled up in her eyes.
"Yes you were right...Nobody is making good money as a model if they don't do anything weird for it. You were so right." She brushed her tears away and nodded. "Yes let's get my stuff...I just need to be away from here..."
It was hard to hear those words from Jane. Emma knew Jane loved to model...but it just wasn't the right fit for her, she knew that for sure.
"Ok Jane sweetie. Just rest for now. We have all night to get things taken care of. You want something to eat...old times?" She said with a soft smile and touched Jane's cheek again.
Jane nodded in agreement
"Tons of ice cream while we watch a bad movie, huh?" Jane asked and worked up a small smile. She was so gratful that Emma was there. What would she do without her? Probably cry to herself before she'd fall asleep in exhaustion.
"Hell yah babe! Chocolate, peanut butter, vanilla, and butter pecan! You find the bad movie I will order every flavor they have," she said with a cute smile. She nuzzled her best friend and then kissed her cheek before jumping from the bed. The little redhead was always a bundle of energy and it was freeing.
Jane smiled at her and eventually wiped the rest of her tears off her check. Emma had always been good in cheering her up. While Emma was calling room service and ordered all the ice cream, Jane thought about a bad movie they could watch. She remembered one and as soon as Emma was done talking on the phone, she called room service again and ordered the movie.
Emma took off her boots and flopped down on the bed. Her olive green eyes watched Jane and she smiled. She had missed her best friend. When she was done, she laid back and stretched.
"I am sorry Jane...I truly am," she said staring up at the ceiling and rubbing her slightly bare mid section.
Jane only nodded and lied down beside her best friend in bed and stared at the ceiling as well.
"I wanna pick up my model portfolio from my old agency... I don't want them to have my pictures..." Jane said in thoughts.
"Maybe...you can come with...or pick it up for me?" Jane asked her.
Emma pulled Jane close to her and cuddled her.
"I will go for you and with you sweetie. That is not a problem at all," she said and smiled up at the ceiling.
"So what bad movie is it this time?" She asked, laughing softly and rolling to her side to look at Jane.
"Oh don't be so curious, let yourself get surprised for once." Jane said and gently pushed her best friend and smiled at her. Yes, she did cheer her up already. She was glad that she had decided to call her.

Rebecca arrived shortly at Maura's house and was in best mood. She walked up to the door of Maura's big house and rang the doorbell. She hadn't been in such a good mood for ages. Everything was going her way.
Maura took her time getting to the door. She had seen the clock and knew exactly who it was. Her heart sank. She opened the door and put her best fake smile on as Rebecca was presented before her. Maura house was huge with at least five bedrooms, a study, two car garage, and four full baths.
Maura was weathly from birth and it had nothing to do with the company that she held...that had only increased it on her own.
"Rebecca," she said through tight lips and swallowed, stepping back. The beast was in her home once again...and Maura felt the chain tighten around her neck.
Rebecca kissed Maura and entered.
"Mh you smell lovely, honey." She told her and smiled. "I am so glad you decided for the second option." She walked to Maura's living room and sat down on the couch.
"How did Janie take it that you aren't her assistant anymore?" She asked her curious.
Maura did not kiss Rebecca back and then watched as she seemed to take over her home all over again. She started to feel a little sick.
"Not well," she said, honestly, but it was more about the fact that she had all but accused Jane of betrayal than telling her that she wasn't her assistant any longer.
"Oh?" Rebecca asked and her face lit up. Pain that other felt because of her made her happy and feel like she was in control.
"What did she say? Did she beg you not to do it?" She asked and studied her girlfriend.
It was that face...that face that showed joy at someone else's disadvantage and pain that had ruined their relationship. Rebecca enjoyed seeing other suffer and that included her. Maura pressed her lips tightly together and shook her head. She wanted to give the woman the money now more than anything.
"That is private Rebecca," she said tightly and turned to head into the kitchen. Maura was pretty much covered up, long pants, boots, long sleeved shirt, high neckling. Her clothing was slightly lose fitting...she wanted nothing to be left seen of her body.
"Aw come on, that is not fair." Rebecca said and crossed her legs.
"For all I know...however your talk went...I know Janie didn't like it at all...crying like a little kid she is...and then she found the camera and destroyed it. That damn kid, it cost a fortune. But I am with you now and money shouldn't be a problem." She said with a smile. "Right honey?"
"My money is not our money, Rebecca. It will never be," she said, turning and glaring at her.
"I think we are done for the night. I am tired. Could you please leave," she said as nice as she could. Maura stood in the kitchen, far enough away to be able to keep her cool. She hated that Rebecca knew her history...
"Well then..." She got up from the couch. "...let's go to bed." Rebecca said and moved to the kitchen. She smiled at the blonde and kissed her cheek. "
I'll be waiting upstairs." She winked and left the kitchen, making her way to Maura's bedroom. It felt so good to be back.
"Then you will be sleeping alone Rebecca..." Maura said as the woman started up the steps. She watched her.
"I said I was tired...and I meant it," she repeated and turned around to get a glass of wine. Instead, she closed her eyes and dropped her head, resting her hands against the counter's edge.
"Oh come on...we will sleep. No worries. Just sleep." Rebecca yelled from the bedroom as she kicked off her high heels.
"We already had our fun in the studio today...or rather you had fun...but that's okay. Just come to bed. I've missed you." Rebcca said sweetly.
The studio...oh god... Maura felt drawn to the flame that was Rebecca. She couldn't help it. This evil beast was her first love...her first woman...she held a wicked part in her soul. Rebecca saw Maura's shadow before she saw Maura standing in the frame of the door.
"You will not touch me like that again..." she said firmly. "What you did was wrong...how you did it was wrong...Rebecca, you are just all kinds of wrong..."
She rolled her eyes and stripped down to her underwear.
"Don't worry, I will stay professional towards you at work. No more sex in your studio, gotcha." She said with a wink and lied down in her big bed. "Now come on...quitt being a boss and relax..." She said to her.
Maura rubbed her face and sighed. Finally she took off her boots, shirt and pants and bra. Rebecca knew how Maura slept...nothing but underwear. She walked over and slipped into the bed, lying on her side facing away from Rebecca. She didn't say anything more, but just closed her eyes.
Rebecca moved close to Maura and spooned her from behind. She placed a single kiss on the back of her neck.
"Have a goodnight, honey." She whispered and hugged her tighter, closing her eyes. She inhaled Maura's sweet perfume that she loved.
Maura got sick a little in her mouth and swallowed everything back down which only made it worse. The kiss to the back of her neck caused her to shiver and Rebecca would not miss that. Maura felt like she was in hell. The noose tightened around her neck, but she would never be kicked free from it to die...
The next day, Jane drove with Emma to Maura's agency. Jane staid in the car and sent Emma in, hoping that her best friend was able to get the photos from Maura and didn't had to go inside herself. Emma felt pretty lost since nobody was at the front desk.
"Hello!" The woman asked loud enough for anyone to hear...hopefully.
Maura left the main office, feeling worn and tired. She had barely slept the previous night. Rebecca kept holding her and touching her. She looked up from a folder she was carrying and saw the petite redhead standing at the counter.
"May I help you," she said, offering a friendly smile at Emma. Maura was pretty, soft in the face, kind eyes, and a killer rack against her petite frame.
"Oh I hope you can." Emma chuckled a bit.
"Um, I am here to pick up the model portfolio for my friend Jane Rizzoli. She said you guys still have that." Emma said and scratched her head a bit, looking at the pretty blonde in front of her. She had no idea that this was the boss or anything...to Emma she seemed like a regular secretary or something of that like.
Maura's smile faded and her shoulders dropped. She slowly nodded.
"I can't give you that, I am sorry. They belong to the company once they are taken. I can give you the portfolio, but the original pictures belong to me," she said. Her words were sad as well as her eyes now.
"Uh, okay then just copies of the pictures I guess. I have no idea how this whole things work, to be honest. She just told me to pick up her portfolio...that's all she said." Emma said and since she was a chatty girl she kept talking.
"How do you like your boss? From what I've heard he is a real dickhead. Installing cameras and shit in Jane's apartment. Understandable that she doesn't wanna return to her aparment, no? Just think about it...he probably watched her going to the toilet. That's so disgusting." She shook her head in disbeief. "Hey if I were you I'd check your apartment for hidden cams too." Emma chuckled.
Maura looked up from the counter and the portfolio. Her face was blank and she shook her head.
"I am the boss and I don't know what she told you, but I didn't put cameras into her apartment," she said. Maura knew that Rebecca had and then it dawned on her that they could also be in her very own home. She felt sicker than before.
"She doesn't need to leave the studio. I will remedy the situation...that is for sure," she said sounding almost angry.
Emma felt stupid now as the woman told her that she was the boss. But...that meant that Jane had made out with a girl? Her. Emma stared at her for a while.
"So...uh...you made out with Jane?" Emma then asked her, her eyes widened at the pure thought of it. She couldn't imagine Jane doing that, especially because she knew Jane's strict parents and all.
Maura's left eyebrow arched and she smiled tightly. "It was all me...if you want to know. I kissed her...so...she is still the good person that you know," she said and handed Emma the portfolio.
"Here, you are free to go now, but let her know...she is always welcome here," she said and turned and started back into her office.
Emma looked after the blonde. She felt the tension, the same one she had felt with Jane. There was something between them. "Miss, hold on for a moment." Emma said and rushed after her.
"I know the whole thing isn't my business, yada yada yada, but Jane's in the car if you want to talk to her." She said and shrugged her shoulders. "For all I know, she thinks you installed the cameras in her apartment. And I don't know why, call it female institution, but I believe that you didn't do it. "
Maura paused and looked over her shoulder. She offered the redhead a small smile.
"Thank you," she said softly, "but I know she doesn't want to talk to me. When she is ready...she will," she said and then turned back around. She didn't move another step however. She just stared at the ground and her feet, thinking, breathing, feeling too numb to move.
Emma wasn't blind and saw what was going on. She grabbed Maura by her wrist and pulled her towards the exit.
"Alright, that's it. You two talk with eachother. You both are miserable. Geez." Emma didn't even give Maura time to protest.
She left the building with Maura, pulling her behind her. It didn't matter to her that Maura was a boss or whatever, she wasn't her boss after all. She opened the door of the passenger seat and pushed Maura inside. Jane looked confused at her best friend and then at Maura.
"You two talk. Oh and here is your portfolio." Emma said and leaned over Maura to hand it to Jane.
"Don't hate me." The redheaded added and slammed the door of the passenger seat shut. Jane swallowed and looked down at her portfolio. She didn't know what to say.
"Thanks,...uh, for handing out the portfolio to my...friend."
Maura sighed softly and smiled down at her lap, absently drumming her fingers over her thighs. She swallowed and cleared her throat.
"You know I would have, no questions asked," she said softly and finally looked up and over at Jane. "I didn't put those cameras in your apartment. I am not sure who really did...and I am not even sure I know what is real anymore..." she said and rubbed at her neck, while talking. "I am sorry..."
Jane sighed and closed her eyes for a brief moment.
"Me too. But...I didn't install cameras in my apartment either, you gotta believe me. I don't want your money or use your connections for fame. I am not at all the way you described me the other day..." Jane said quietly and glanced over to Maura.
"I was angry, hurt and scared. I know that you didn't do it...I know who did and I need to get out of her trap. Jane...the only person that did this...that would...is Rebecca. She wants the money...It was never about anything else. She wants my money..." she said and studied Jane, smiling gently. Hesitantly, she reached up and stroked the woman's cheek with the back of her hand.
"I am truly sorry...please don't leave because of me. You have soo much...going for you. You could go soo far..."
Jane looked into Maura's eyes. She really liked her, there was no denying in this. She closed her eyes briefly at the contact of Maura's hand on her cheek. Her eyes opened again and she bit her lip.
"Trap? But Rebecca is your girlfriend again, isn't she? You took her back..." Jane said and nodded towards the hickey on Maura's neck.
"I never will take her back. Jane I did it because she threatened to hurt you. I couldn't let that happen. She will never have me-" Maura stopped her words. Rebecca had already had her again. Maura shook her head a bit. "She is a monster...pure and simple..."
Jane looked at her confused. She saw that for some reasons it was hard to talk for Maura and she reached over to her, covering her hand with her own.
"I don't understand. Why would she wanna hurt me? I never take any of her modeling jobs away...we are not rivals. We are different types." The brunette said confused.
"It's not about hurting you because of jobs...it is about control and money. She doesn't want anyone else to have that. She wants control of the studio and she has go through me. You are in the way of me. I moved on...I moved on to you," she said and looked into Jane's confused face.
Jane held eye contact with her and then gently reached out to touch the hickey with her fingertips.
"Moved on to me? I didn't make you this hickey..." Jane whispered and pulled her fingertips back.
"Why are you lying to me?" She whispered and looked down at her hands. The fact that someone else had kissed and touched Maura bothered Jane more than she would have ever imagined.
"I moved on to you...I want you..." she said flatly and she couldn't make it anymore clearer than that. She swallowed and looked down as Jane did.
Maura sighed, "I want to kiss and hold you. To touch you...you make you feel like you are in heaven...that's what I want...It just feels right."
Jane shook her head lightly. "But why...why did you sleep with Rebecca then?" Jane asked bluntly but her voice was a whisper. It was clear that she was hurt that Maura had slept with Rebecca.
"...because I didn't wanna have sex with you that one day?" She whispered and looked at Maura again.
"I didn't sleep with Rebecca...she used me to get what she wanted. She wanted me to agree to take her back and she knew exactly how to do that," she said bitterly. "I never wanted...god I never wanted it," she repeated and shuddered.
The feelings had been amazing. Rebecca knew how to please her...Rebecca had always only been with women and she had stolen her heart. However when she found out the uterior motives...all of that love had disappeared. Maura didn't want someone like that in her life.
"But you did take her back...because of the sex..." Jane whispered, stating the obvious.
"Now it makes sense why Rebecca said you didn't wanna be my assistant anymore..." Jane said and looked down at her portfolio.
"What the hell Jane? I am sitting here telling you that I didn't sleep with her...I never will again. I just told you that I want you...not her...what is wrong with you!" She said harshly and then squared her jaw. Maura grabbed Jane's face. "I don't care," she said to her and pulled her into a kiss. She put everything into it.
Jane gasped in sheer surprise into the kiss since she didn't expect this. Maura didn't get her point about the hickey. Rebecca surely didn't just walk in the studio, made a hickey against Maura's will, since it required a while of sucking, and then left again. So Maura would have wanted that. Though, as soon as Maura's lips were against her own, she couldn't think straight anymore and kissed the blonde back.
Maura leaned into Jane as soon as she felt the woman kissing her back. Her chest heaved with need. She wanted to take her right then and there...it didn't matter where they were. She deepened the kiss, licking at Jane's lips with her tongue. It was sheer bliss and everything that she had wanted and missed.
Jane brought a hand up to Maura's cheek and held her face gently. This time, kissing a woman didn't feel so overwhelming and weird anymore. She could fully concentrate on how good it felt, and it did feel good. She had needed that, feeling Maura's lips against hers. The way she kissed made Jane wax in her hands.
Maura sneaked a hand up and cupped Jane's breast, tenderly massaging it. She broke the kiss long enough to whisper.
"Please come inside...I have a couch in my office...please...I need you. Jane I want you..." she said, looking up into her eyes, breathing deeply.
The model hesitated but then nodded and got out of her car. She looked at Emma who stood a few feet away, typing on her cell. Jane walked over to her and handed her the car keys.
"I talked things out...thanks for that." Jane said softly and smiled at her best friend.
"I won't quit my work here...but therefor I have to go do a fitting now. Just drive around and have fun. I'll call you later." Jane pecked her best friends' cheek and then walked with Maura inside.
Maura smiled adoringly at Jane. Her eyes rich and deep in color. The feelings were wonderful between her legs. Emma looked up and smiled at Jane.
"Oh, ok," she said, a little disappointed. Nevertheless, she nodded and took the car keys from Jane. She half hugged her at the kiss to her cheek and then watched as Maura and her friend walked inside the building and were gone.
