Jane started to rub the scar on the back of her left hand. She wanted to kiss Maura, take her in her arms and whisper sweet nothings into her ear until they were old a grey but she couldn't, not like this.
"If you love me, then why were you kissing Frankie?" Jane's voice was small and child like.
"I…I'm sorry about that, I needed to hear you say it," Maura looked at her feet realizing perhaps she had been too hasty in forcing the brunette's hand.
"Your all I have Jane, I don't have the benefit of a close knit family and well, I was being selfish. I was scared if I told you how I felt that you would run and I can't afford to lose you" Maura was fighting back tears now, but she took a deep breath and held it waiting for Jane's reply.
"I'll destroy you Maura. I'm far to broken to be taking care of someone as precious as you"
"But you already do" Maura said taking the detective's hands in hers.
"Before you decided for me what's best, answer me this, when you've had a bad day, or when your family is too much for you, or when Hoyt is terrorizing you, who is the first person you turn to"
"You" Jane breathed out, finally lifting her eyes from their hands to look at Maura. "It's always you"
Maura was beaming now, finally having gotten through to her friend.
"Precisely" Maura said
Brush the hair out of Jane's face Maura warped her arms around Jane's neck, but stopped her accent when their noses touched.
"I'm going to kiss you now," Maura whispered before capturing Jane's lips with her own.
Jane's hands made their way to Maura's waste pulling her close. Oxygen soon became a necessity and the pair broke apart panting. Jane leaned her forehead on to Maura's a smile of contentment on her face.
"Come on" Jane said lacing her fingers through Maura's.
"Where are we going" The shorter woman said as Jane led the way.
"Home, we have things to talk about and dog that needs a walk."
