Jane's whole family had been going crazy about her disappearance. Angela cried and even Frank had tears in his eyes when Jane got out of the car safe and sound. When the brunette was talking to her brothers, the vampire and her parent's went in another room to talk. Jane didn't know what Amelia told her parents, when they were finished, both her ma and pop seemed quite in fond of the vampire. Jane was speechless when they told her she was free to visit her whenever she wished. After all the emotions had somewhat subsided Angela offered Amelia to stay for dinner. For obvious to Jane reasons she had to decline and young girl walked the vampire to her car.
Jane still seemed stunned by her achievement. "Hey, thanks for talking to my ma and pop. Without you I would've been in a lot of trouble. What did you tell them, by the way?"
"Let's just say I can be very persuasive and leave it at that." Amelia smirked as she set in the car. "I must go now. Take care, Jane." Her smile was genuine now.
"I will. Thanks again for everything." Jane extended her hand and Amelia gladly shook it. "See you soon."
A few days later, Jane came to a conclusion that she was ready to continue the conversation and besides she just wanted to see Maura again, brunette decided to go back to the vampire residence. Jane wanted to surprise Maura, so she didn't call for a driver. She got up early in the morning and grabbed her bike. Riding through the streets and then woods for about an hour she reached the gate, which opened as soon as she came near. She continued her way and not five minutes later she was standing at the front door of Maura's house. A middle aged man opened door to her.
"Good morning, Miss!" He greeted her with a nod and a very weird and quite comical smile. "What a wonderful day, Isn't it? Come in, please."
"Uh…Hello." Jane stared confused for a moment and then stepped inside. "Nice day indeed. Could you tell me where to find Maura?"
"Why of course I can. If you would follow me I'll lead you straight to her." He turned around, motioning Jane to follow.
The man led her to a door and with the same weird smirk that never seemed to leave his face left the girl. Jane, assuming that it was library or study or something of this kind knocked softly and entered. Instead she found herself in Maura's bedroom. The thick curtains on the windows didn't let a single stream of sunlight in the room and it was only lit by candles on the walls. As soon as Jane got close enough to bed to see that Maura was in fact laying there asleep, she turned around to leave, feeling embarrassed for violating the woman's personal space. Unfortunately, being her clumsy self, Jane knocked over a vase near the door and it broke with a loud noise. The moment she heard the crack, the room became dark as all the candles got blown out at once. She turned around quickly and saw Maura standing right in front of her, her eyes shining bright green.
"Oh, fu…" Jane almost screamed as she jumped back. "Sweet Jesus! Maura! You scared the hell out of me!"
Maura recognized Jane instantly. Her eyes returned to normal and the candles lit up again. "Oh! Jane, I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" The woman stepped back.
Jane took a few deep breaths to calm herself and looked at Maura. She noticed extremely worried and scared look at honey blonde's face. "Yeah, I'm okay." She replied honestly, but the woman didn't seem convinced.
"I'm so so sorry. I just wasn't expecting you."
Jane walked over, placed her hands on Maura's shoulders and smiled to reassure her. "Really, I'm okay. You did give me the scare of my life though." She laughed softly. "Please, stop apologizing; it was my fault, too." She felt shoulders relax under her touch. When Jane regained her breath she realized that Maura was only in nightgown and became embarrassed once more. "Uh…I'll go drink some water. Meet me outside when you're…you're ready, okay? So we can take a walk, or something, if that's okay?"
For a moment Maura stared at Jane wondering why she had suddenly began to stammer. Remembering she was just in her night clothes honey blonde understood brunettes struggle and decided not to torture her anymore. "Of course! That would be great." She hinted Jane that she could go.
When Jane was out of the room she leaned against the wall and swallowed hard. What an odd beginning of the day.
Ten minutes and two glasses of water later Jane stood outside waiting for Maura. She looked around to observe the environment, which appeared to be quite pleasant, with tall trees, green grass and colorful flowers. It made strange contrast to the massive gloomy house. Soon she heard the front door open and saw Maura walk out.
"So, what's our plan? You want to go somewhere? Park, maybe?" Asked Maura as she came closer.
"Yeah, park would be nice."
"Alright then. Come on, let's get a car."
They waked around the house and Jane saw a huge garage. As soon as they went in she gasped, "Oh my god! Maura! You own a dodge challenger? You own a dodge freaking challenger!"
At first Maura panicked, but when she saw Jane running towards the car she smiled. "Yes. We can take that one if you want."
Jane beamed at her, "This is so cool!"
Maura grabbed the keys from the hanger and handed them to Jane. Brunette's eyes became huge as saucers, "You'll let me drive? Really?"
"Why not, I know you're a good driver." Maura watched her reaction in amazement.
Barely holding back tears brunette hugged her tightly, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome, Jane." Maura hugged back.
"Okay, time to go." Jane opened the door on the passenger's side for Maura and waited until she climbed in to shut it.
"Oh, how very gentlemanly of you," Maura smirked at her amused.
Jane blushed as she walked around the car and climbed in. She started the engine and drove them to park. Maura couldn't help smiling at Jane's excitement the whole way. Brunette parked the car by the entrance and rushed out to open Maura's door.
"Thank you, Jane. That's really sweet gesture." The fact that Jane was trying to take care of her and court her almost made Maura teary-eyed.
"Anytime." Jane's face reddened again.
"So, care to tell me what were you doing in my bedroom?" Maura was genuinely curious.
"Some weird man led me to your door and just left me there. If I had known it was your bedroom, I wouldn't have entered."
"Oh, that must have been Rufus, my butler. He's a little strange."
"You have a butler?" brunette laughed when she saw Maura's raised eyebrow. "Of course, you do." Jane coughed to compose herself. "I…I wanted to talk about…"
"You want to discuss how we can arrange to be together since you're a teenager and I'm a vampire elder."
"Yeah, I mean will I be part of the vampire world eventually?"
Maura looked at her with a very serious expression, "Do you want to?"
"Well, you're kinda queen there…"
"That doesn't mean anything Jane. We're absolutely equal in this relationship. Your world is just as important as mine and if you are willing to give up yours to be with me, then I'm willing to do the same. Besides, I don't want to burden you with responsibilities that come with being in a relationship yet. You're so young; you should be free to experience life, follow your dreams."
"You're amazing, you know. Thanks for not pushing me into something I'm not ready for."
"I'd never do that, Jane." Maura took Jane's hand and squeezed. "We can just be friends until you're old enough and ready for more."
"That would be great!" Brunette was very happy that the woman understood her.
"Now that we've got that cleared up I'd really like to hear about your plans for career."
"I've always wanted to be a detective. To catch the bad guys and keep the streets safe." Jane shrugged.
"That's very honorable, Jane. I'm sure you'll make a great detective."
"Thanks. My ma's not very happy about it but I hope she'll get used to it."
"She will eventually. Aren't you hungry, by the way? We've been out for a couple of hours already."
"Now that you mentioned it I am. Can we grab a pizza on our way back?"
"Of course and I can show you my collection of weapons and armory."
Jane's eyes went wide; she tugged at Maura's hand to make her walk faster. "You are a perfect woman!"
AN I guess I'll just fast forward a few years now, since they've discussed pretty much everything that needed to be discussed.
P.S. Is it too weird that I made Maura's butler Rufus from "Love Actually" (played by Rowan Atkinson) ?
