Disclaimer: I am not going through this again- it just depresses me :(

J-Jealousy

Today is the day I tell her thought Jane to himself as he walked towards Lisbon's office. Am I nervous? I can't be! I never am! He carried on to himself. He stopped just in front of her door, deciding on the best way to tell her. Just do it he thought.

He was just about to walk in when he heard her on the phone

"Yeah, sure seven would be lovely. I'll see you then" she was saying, twirling her hair round her finger. I can't believe she did that! Jane thought. I wonder who she's talking to. Then Lisbon giggled and said "Alright then Walter, thanks. See you soon" and she put the phone down. No, no no no! It can't be him! I'll check anyway-just to be completely sure. Lisbon looked over to Jane

"How long have you been standing there?" she asked him

"Not long. Why did I miss something good?" he retorted, hoping she wouldn't pick up on his feelings how could this happen, on this day of all days?

"Oh, er Cho said he needed to see you about something" Jane lied, hoping she would leave

"Oh, ok then" She replied, and left the office. As soon as she had gone a fair distance, Jane ran for her phone and pressed re-dial. The caller id flashed up

Walter Mashburn :)

It was late that evening when Jane finally stopped his car. He thought the drive would have done him good, allowed him to clear his head-to banish all thoughts of Teresa Lisbon from his head. Yeah right, like that worked he told himself, and then looked around to see where he was. He had ended up on a thin country route, near a space for picnickers to eat. There were a few cars there-despite the time of evening probably couples he thought.

He then turned to look behind him and saw a car which he knew instantly and the figure leaning against it even better.

"Lisbon?" he called, getting out of his car

"Jane? What are you doing here?" She asked him, stepping forward with a look of confusion on her face.

"I needed a drive" he told her "You?"

"Huh? Oh yeah same"

"How was Mashburn?"

"WHAT? How did you know about that?"

"Well, duh! I know everything!" He said, trying to be himself in such circumstances "So, how was it?"

"Fine" she said

"Just fine then? Because I mean, he's hardly the nicest guy on the planet"

"Whatever"

"Not good looking"

"mmm"

"Vacant eyes I think"

"oh really?"

"And his manners? From what I've heard- atrocious!"

"Seriously? What is your problem with me being with Mashburn?" She said, her voice getting increasingly louder "I mean, I think he does look good, he's really charming and his manners are so gentlemanly they put you to shame!"

"Oh, so he's just the greatest guy ever huh?"

"Yeah, he is!"

"Probably gonna marry him aren't you?"

"Maybe I will!"

"Of course if he's so perfect!"

"Well he's better than you!"

"I'm sure he is the slimy little pushover!"

"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?"

"I LOVE YOU!" he cried. There was a pause as they both took in what he had just said. Jane closed his eyes and leant against her car, wishing the ground would pull him under. It didn't, instead what happened was that Lisbon spoke

"Is that true? Do you mean it?"

"If I do?"

"Then I'll admit what I just said about Walter was about as far from the truth as you could possibly ever get" she replied calmly, though her insides were doing somersaults

"It is true" He carried on "I was going to tell you this morning, but I heard you on the phone and realised what was going on"

"Oh Patrick" She said, which was nearly enough to undo him. He risked looking at her, and was met with such a look of love it overwhelmed him "I wished you had told me" and she stepped up to him, went on her tiptoes and slid her arms around his neck before pulling him into a warm and passionate kiss.

Well there you go :) how was it? let me know please! and let me know about all your ideas! many thanks as always,
