Thank you all for reading and reviewing :)
Chapter 10
"I want to...if you even want to think about keeping your job...you will do it. Drink another few glasses of wine and I will have you like putty in my own hands, honey," she said. Maura was glaring at Rebecca.
"You have it all Rebecca...you don't need her too...leave her be. Listen to me. You have the power...I will give you it...just stop this! God, please..." Maura said, feeling soo helpless.
"Shut up Maura...I want to play...I want to have fun...I want to win..."
Jane felt her stomach tightening even more. She didn't wanna perform sex in front of a third person. Sex was only meant for two people in love, that's it. That was all there was for Jane. She drunk another huge gulp of her wine and glanced at Maura. This was torture for both of them. Jane sighed heavily and looked down at her glass of wine before she downed the rest, screwing up her pretty face because of the wine's dry- and bitterness.
"I...I don't think I can...do that." Jane said.
Rebecca poured Jane a third glass of wine and did the same for Maura. Her eyes darkened at Jane's words and she smiled.
"Sure you can...if will help...have some more wine," she said and rubbed Jane's upper arm. She looked over at Maura, running her tongue over her lips.
"Besides, I know I will win...and then I will have everything..." She sighed and turned back to Jane.
Jane looked at her full wine glass again and just the thought of having to empty another glass of wine made her sick. The Italian girl drunk another huge gulp and then shook her head, pushing the glass away from her.
"If I drink more I'll be sick." Jane said and closed her eyes. She noticed how much her head was spinning already from the alcohol, and given to the fact that Jane was a leight weight and hardly drank, it was easy to get her drunk. Her cheeks were fully flushed from the alochol now and everything seemed so dull around her all of a sudden, as she re-opened her eyes.
"There you go Jane...all nice and flush...drunk I am assuming. What do think Maura...darling...you want her to touch you while I watch? You can't tell me you don't..." she said and narrowed her eyes to the woman...letting her know that she had to do whatever she wanted her to do.
"Go on Maura...go up stairs and get undressed. I will bring miss Jane up in a moment..."
Jane grabbed the edge of the table and tried to concentrate on one spot at the dining room. Drinking all this in such a short amount of time was the worst. Jane leaned back in the chair, trying to sit straight, trying to control it somehow but it only got worse. Jane let a hand run through her dark hair.
"I...don't feel well at all..." She covered her face with one hand, closing her eyes, but had to open them a second later as she noticed it only made the spinning worse.
"Go on Maura...go upstairs, now," she said firmly and Maura squared her jaw, got up and left. Once Rebecca heard her footsteps on the stairs, she grabbed Jane's arm and pulled her close.
"You may be drunk, but you are going to do this...and you are going to lose. I will keep her and all the power that comes with it..." she said close to Jane's ear before she bit at it hard and pulled back. "Now get up and follow me upstairs."
Jane felt like crying again. Her mind was all foggy but she couldn't do what Rebecca expected from her. Jane let a hand run over her face.
"I..I..can't do this...I really can't..." The Italian girl whined a bit and pushed her chair back and got up. She tripped immedatly in her heels and landed on the ground. The pain was numbed through the alcohol. Jane pulled herself up again and leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
"You are a little baby...but you slept with Maura...my Maura...so you are not a baby anymore and you will lose this..." she said, moving over and pulling Jane from the wall.
"I will watch you do this...and I will enjoy every moment of it," she added and pushed Jane up one step at a time because that was all that she could do. Maura was pacing in the room and had yet to undress herself. She wasn't going to do this and she wasn't going to put Jane through this...
As they finally made it upstairs, Rebecca pushed Jane into the bedroom, holding her by her arm though, so she wouldn't trip again. She looked at Maura and her face changed.
"What did I say to you?" Rebecca asked her annoyed.
"Now strip and lie down to bed. Jane's ready for you and I know you are craving her. I bet the pure thought of Jane makes you go all wet...now STRIP!" She demanded.
Maura glared at Rebecca. This was killing her.
"Please don't make her do this Rebecca...You hurt her..." she said softly, looking at the drunk Jane and the hard Rebecca.
"Oh I'm hardly hurting her, that is what you both want anyways. And I give you permission. You two should be on your knees thanking me for it." Rebecca said and guided Jane to the bed and pushed her on it.
The Italian girl wrapped one arm around her slender body as soon as she lied on the bed and covered her face with the other hand.
„I don't want this..." Jane whispered. Rebecca climbed on top of her.
"No sweetie...you want this...I promise you," Rebecca said as she lifted her head to speak. Before she could say anything else she was knocked from the bed and Maura was on top of her, straddling her body and hands holding her arms down.
"Jane...leave...get out of here now!" Maura yelled as Rebecca struggled below her to gain the upper hand and get up.
Jane pushed herself up and moved to the edge of the bed and got up. She held onto the wall for balance and made it to the door, stumbling every now and then but not falling. She grabbed the railing of the stairs tight and made it down one by one. Her mind was screaming and she was too drunk to even realize what was going on. She just knew she had to get out of there.
Jane undressed her heels at some point and stumbled barfoot out of the door and away from Maura's house, leaving her car behind. The young woman made it to Maura's neighbours and passed out there in the front yard. She was too drunk and too exhausted to care where she was, she just wanted to rest and sleep.
"How dare you!" Rebecca yelled at her angrily and struggled against her. "You both are finished! Do you hear me? Finished! You will go down and so will she..."
"I don't care anymore Rebecca...You will not ever hurt her...you can hurt me a thousand times over...but never her. Never!" She said still holding the woman down, long enough for Jane to get out of the house.
"You leave her be..." she said and pushed Rebecca down harder. "You will never have the money... Rebecca..."
Rebecca finally managed to push the blonde woman off of her. "Tell that to Jane after career is over and see if it makes her feel better." She said bitter. "I did not hurt your precious little girl."
Maura fell back against the side of the bed as Rebecca finally pushed her off. She breathed heavily, staring at her. "No, I won't, because if you ruin anyone's life, it will be mine and mine only. I will not let you do anything to her...ever...I mean it Rebecca," she said harshly.

Jane would not be found until in the morning when the old man came out to get his newspaper.
Jane felt more than emberassed as the old man was waking her up. She apologized deeply for that and moved over back to Maura's house. She felt sick and the first thing she did as she entered Maura's property was puking in the bushes.
She felt better afterwards, wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and made her way to the door, ringing the doorbell. Her head was about to explode. She needed her car keys from inside. Rebecca had left Maura's house the previous night already after that fight.
Maura had slapped Rebecca in their fight and had received a hard punch back. The corner of her mouth was swollen. She moved from the couch and looked through the peephole. As soon as she saw it was Jane, she opened the door and stared at her.
"Oh my god...Jane...Are you ok?" She asked her and winced from having to talk.
Other than being pale Jane was fine. She nodded and saw the swollen corner of Maura's mouth. Jane didn't remember everything that happened the night before, only parts of it, and what she recalled, she didn't like at all.
"What happened?" She asked in a soft voice and reached out to Maura, touching the corner of her mouth gently with her fingertips.
Maura winced but did not back away from Jane's soft touch. Maura sighed, relieved that Jane was ok.
"I don't want to talk about it...please just come in and let me offer you some coffee." She said and stepped back so that Jane could enter inside. Her stomach turned, but it was more out of fear that Jane would remember.
Jane stepped inside and saw her heels lying by the door.
"I..I missed my exam this morning...I was supposed to be in class..." She whispered and picked up her heels from the ground, closing the door behind herself. But then she remembered something and froze at the door.
"Is...is Rebecca here?" She asked carefully.
"I am soo sorry Jane...I will call in for you and make sure that they know you need to take it at a later date...personal emergency," she said and then shuddered at that name that Jane said. "No, she is not here and if she ever come back I will have her arrested," she said and moved toward the kitchen stiffly.
Only as Maura assured her that Rebecca was gone, Jane followed Maura into the kitchen. She immediatly dropped down in a chair.
"Do you have pain killers too? My head is exploding." Jane said and closed her eyes for a brief moment. She glanced at Maura. "Did I do it?" Jane then whispered. "Did I sleep with you?"
Maura paused from turning on the kettle, looking over at Jane and smiling softly. "No, I wouldn't let her do anything to you..." she said and moved to a cabinet and pulling out some medication that would help Jane. She walked over to her stiffly and handed them to her. "I won't ever let her hurt you."
Jane took the aspirin from Maura and swallowed them immediatly. "Thank you..." Jane said softly.
"Not only for the Aspirin also for...saving me. I remember now." She said and glanced up in her eyes. "It was a horrible night...for both of us..."
"I would have to fully agree," she said softly and moved slowly back to the kitchen stove and turning on the kettle. She braced her hands against the counter afterwards and sighed, dropping her.
"You are very welcome Jane...more than welcome..."
"She'll ruin our careers now, won't she?" Jane whispered and looked at Maura. "And it's all my fault. You were playing along...I wasn't. I just couldn't. There is no one else to blame but me." The Italian girl said and ran a hand through her dark tousled hair.
"Hush...I don't care about myself...who I care about is you," Maura said coming back over to Jane and standing before her. She carefully touched the young woman's pale face. "Don't ever worry...Jane...please... it's all my fault...it will always be all my fault."
Jane shook her head. "Don't say that. Your studio...your model agency is your life...don't act like you don't care...you have to fight for it..." Jane said and looked in her eyes.
"And I have to fight for my career. What Rebecca did as she recorded us against our wills was illegal...also the breaking and entering in my apartment. She was invading our privacy, Maura. We will sue her and get her arrested before she can do anything to harm our carreers. It will be big and she won't be able to use the material she got from the camera anymore since its evidence." Jane said, thinking like a lawyer now.
Why didn't she think of that before? She had been too distracted with the fear she had of Rebecca and the uncommon feelings she suddenly had for another woman.
Jane was right...they had a good case against Rebecca, but she feared that it just wouldn't work. She sat down slowly next Jane and rubbed the back of her neck. Her body was shaky and sore. She smiled a bit at Jane. "I don't know Jane. It's not like I don't care...I just don't want you to get stuck in the way...and with Rebecca...if it's me...than it's not you."
Jane got up from the chair and shook her head.
"We have to try it. Let's try to the closest police station now. We have to act quicker than her. Come on Maura..." She pulled Maura up from the chair.
"Lemme think at what she did... breaking and entering in my apartment, invading our privacies, recording us without permission, duplicate the illegal material since she printed pictures with it...uh...giving someone under 21 alcohol and trying to force us to perform sexual acts... I think i wanna leave the sexual acts part out...but for the rest we can get her." She said and looked in her eyes. "Let's drive now and have our coffee when we come back."
Maura made a pained sound as Jane pulled her up from her chair. She didn't want to move at all. Her paled eyes looked at Jane and she nodded.
"Ok, Jane...let's try," she said and swallowed, feeling the sweet rolling down her back. She moved slowly toward the front door, grabbing her bag and keys. "I think I can drive..."
"Okay." Jane flashed a small smile at the blonde and slipped into her highheels. She left the house with Maura and got into her car. She fastened her seatbelt and then looked at the blonde.
"Did she...hurt you alot?" Jane then asked. She had noticed the pained sound that Maura had made as she had pulled her up. "Did she...beat you or something?"
"I told her that if she was angry at anyone...take it out on me..." she said with a heavy sigh as she waited by the front door as Jane put back on her heels. A tear fell down her cheek and she turned around and lifted the shirt. There was a bruise across her abdomen.
Jane looked at Maura's bruise and her eyes sadend. "I'm so sorry I wasn't there to stop this..." Jane whispered and hugged her all carefully.
"You have to tell this to the police too, Maura. This will get her behind bars." Jane said and looked in her eyes.
Maura rested her head on Jane's shoulder as she was hugged. She would never understand how good it felt to be held in a gentle way by someone. She closed her eyes.
"I will, just not everything...just the beatings..." she said finally pulled back. "I will," she repeated and forced a smile for Jane. Jane was perfect, soft and sweet, but someone she felt some internal force that was starting to build inside from.
"What..what do you mean by not everything? What else did she do?" She asked her and looked in her eyes. She stroke some of Maura's blonde hair behind her ear, stroking Maura's back with the other hand.
"You have to tell them everything...so the chance is higher that Rebecca gets prison time."
"Jane, I just can't...I couldn't stop her...from doing it. I will look like such a vulnerable, weak person...I just can't," she said and looked down as Jane softly moved hair behind her ears. She already had showered more than a dozen times since Rebecca had left. Her body bruised, battered, and emotionally torn apart.
"But I'll be with you...you won't have to go through this alone. I'll be by your side..." She whispered. Jane could imagine what Rebecca had done to her.
"Let me be the strong one for now, okay? And you just be as weak as you need to be... I won't let you fall, I promise." Jane whispered and looked back in her eyes.
Maura slowly shook her head and then finally nodded in agreement to Jane's words. She did need her...someone to be strong...She could see that now...Jane had a fierce power within her...something that had not been present before...but that now was. She looked up into her eyes.
"Thank you Jane...you are the world...I will love you forever..."
Jane smiled and leaned forward to kiss Maura. "I love you too." She now whispered, remembering Maura telling her that she loved her the previous night.
"Let's get justice..." Jane said softly and took Maura's hand in hers.
Maura touched Jane's face. "I want her to pay...more than anything," she said and finally moved to the door slowly, stiffly. She waited for Jane to follow her out and then she locked it behind her.
"You drive or me," she asked her as she made her way down the steps and the path.
„I can." Jane offered and walked with Maura to her car and opened the door for her.
Once she was inside, Jane got inside from the other side and then she drove off to the police station to sue Rebecca. Jane did most of the talking first until Maura had to tell her story. Jane's stomach tightened as she listened to Maura talking and what Rebecca had done to her.
During all that, Jane held Maura's hand and gave it a soft squeeze every now and then to show her she wasn't alone and Jane would go through this with her.
Once they were at home, Jane asked Maura to call her College to excuse her for the exam so she could write it another date. She guided Maura up the stairs into the bedroom afterwards and made her lie down. Jane sat down on the edge of the bed and stroke through her hair gently.
„That was very brave what you did today. I am proud of you that you could tell the story..." Jane said softly and offered the blonde a smile.
„Now rest, and I will cook an Italian dish for you, okay? You want anything specific?" She offered.
Maura laid there for some time in silence as Jane stroked her hair and talked to her softly. She smiled back and let out a deep breath. "It really wasn't a story, Jane...it was fact," she said and swallowed. It was fact...everything had happened...and she could not really deny it or stop thinking about it...or pretend that it was a dream. At Jane's question, she shook her head.
"No, I might try to eat a little something...I know I need to," she said and met Jane's eyes. She was just sore and tired for the most part.
"Okay..." Jane stroke over her cheek and then kissed her softly, before she got up from the bed and left Maura alone. She went downstairs into Maura's kitchen and made pasta.
About 30 minutes later, she walked upstairs with a tray, a glass of juice and a plate with pasta on it. "Hey..." Jane said smiling and walked to the bed and placed the tray on her nightstand. "I hope you like it."
"I will more than likely like anything that you make Jane. Mostly because I didn't have to make it," she finally let out a soft laugh and pushed herself up into a sitting position. She smiled and took in a deep breath, taking in the food's wonderful smell. It was then that her stomach would finally growl.
"It does look very good," she finally said and started eating. Before Jane's eyes the blonde seemed to devour the food.
Jane watched Maura eating with a smile. She felt so sorry for her what she had been through and just wanted to be there for her as good as she could. After she had eaten up, Jane took the tray again.
"Do you wanna rest now?" Jane asked her considerate and looked down at her.
"I am just a little stiff...I made sure that I was ok when I cleaned myself up. Bruises are about the worst of my injuries, I think," she said and didn't look at Jane with her last words.
She rested against the headboard and stared out, "I am so very glad that she did not hurt you...I would never let her..."
Jane smiled down at her encouragenly. "And she only didn't because of you...I...I really can't thank you enough. I wish I had been able to protect you..." The Italian girl whispered and glanced at the clock.
"Your studio is supposed to open in an hour...do you want me to do it? To do the fitting with the models? I can do it..." Jane offered softly.
Maura smiled and stared into Jane's pretty eyes. She was glad that Jane had remained safe...it didn't matter about herself. She shook her head. "I already called in one of my assistants. He will take care of everything..." she said and cleared her throat. She ran fingers through her hair.
"I am not going in for a few days...I need to stay off of my feet...I think."
"Yes I think that's the best." Jane said smiling and put the tray down to touch her hand gently. "You really should rest until you are better." She agreed softly.
"And I'll help you as good as I can in between shoots and College. I do have a fitting tomorrow, remember?" Jane said.
"Yes and thank you Jane. Tomorrow...11am from what I remember. Then you will got to Paris in a few weeks. Plan for that. This is one opportunity that I certainly think you should keep." She smiled and closed her eyes for a moment.
"I never believed her for a moment Jane, I want you do know that. I knew you were a good person...through and through..."
Jane gave her hand a soft squeeze. "I hated to believe that you installed cameras in my apartment... I never thought you could do that." Jane said softly and smiled.
"I try to be a good person at least...that's how I got raised. And I cannot wait for Paris...it's gonna be wonderful." She said smiling, just thinking about it.

They had landed several hours ago, but the time Maura knocked on Jane's door, the sun had set. She stood there waiting and when Jane opened it, she handed her the dress bag.
"This is for the dinner tonight, meet and greet that you have to do," she said. "I had it ordered a few weeks ago, especially for you. I know it will fit you like a second skin." She finished and stood in the hall as Jane would take the dress from her. "Then maybe I can show you around a little. I kind of grew up here."
"Oh that is right, you grew up here..." Jane said and took the dress from her. "I didn't know I had to do a meet and greet dinner..." Jane said some kind of nervous and stepped back inside her room, leaving the door open so she could follow inside. She opened the zipper of the dress bag and looked inside, gasping. "Oh my god...wow..."
Maura stepped inside and shut the door behind herself. When Jane opened the zipper she was see a sterling silver gown that had a scooped back and halter neck. It glittered as the light hit it.
"Open toed shoes would work fine. I know you brought several pairs...if not a dozen," she said, smiling as she admired Jane and the dres..
"It's...beautiful Maura, thank you so much." Jane said and hugged her tight, before she kissed her lips.
"I don't know what to say...it leaves me speechless." The Italian girl said and smiled. "What am I supposed to do at a meet and greet dinner, though? I've never been to one."
"I don't know if you want me to, but I can go with you...as your host in a way. To introduce you to all the right people that you need to meet. Who knows, you could end up staying here for a while," she teased her and then started for the door.
"Don't worry too much about it...you just talk to people...be yourself because that is who they want to see," she said.
"I'd love for you to join me. I can't do that on my own. I'd be too nervous." Jane said and let a hand run through her hair.
"But I don't wanna think about it now...show me France." Jane said smiling and took Maura's hand in her own.
"I will be there with you," she said and held Jane's hand. "Oh that is for later...after the meet and greet dinner. When Paris is soo beautiful. Right now, you need to get yourself ready as do I," Maura added with a softer smile. She reached up and cupped the woman's face before kissing her deeply. It felt so good. "Hair down..." she winked.
"Okay..." Jane said and kissed her back, watching her leave. She took a shower, did her make up, let her hair open and put in a cute silver bow, dressed the silver dress and slipped into open toed shoes. Jane was already feeling sick to her stomach since she was so nervous. She'd only know Tina and Maura.
Maura had said for Jane to meet her down in the lobby in two hours. Maura would be waiting by the bar, drinking a glass of wine. Her honey blonde hair pulled back into a low ponytail and she wore a very light pink silk gown that cut very low in the back and dipped in the front with thin straps made of sparkling diamonds. Her makeup was soft, but her eyes remained intense with a little evening wear to them. The gown was form fitting, floor length, and had a small train. She sipped her wine as she waited for Jane.
Jane walked downstairs in the lobby and looked for Maura. She saw her sitting at the bar and had to smile. She looked drop-dead gorgeous. She walked over to her. "Hey...sorry I'm a bit late." Jane apologized and sat down next to Maura.
"You look beautiful...breathtakingly beautiful...really." Jane said and eyed Maura from head to toe.
Maura had to swallow hard as she saw Jane now sitting before her, glittering from head to toe. "Oh my..." she mouthed and then smiled. "Thanks. I don't normally dress this uppy, but tonight is important and that dress, my god...it fits you like a glove," she could barely say and swallowed another drink of her wine.
"Thank you." The Italian girl said softly and smiled brightly, her dimples showing again. "I'm nervous Maura...what if...they don't like me?" Jane asked and looked in her eyes. She stroke a hand over her flat stomach to smoothen the dress, even though it was smooth already. She was just nervous.
"How can they not? You are simply perfect Jane...so perfect you make me look like I am a plain Jane," she said then realized her words. "That's not what I meant," she said with a slight gaze down.
"I mean that you are soo beautiful that I don't even have words to describe you," she finished.
"You are not plain looking at all...You are beautiful." Jane whispered softly and placed her hand on Maura's shoulder to give it a soft squeeze.
"Should we go to get it over with?" Jane asked her and smiled at her somewhat nervously.
Maura didn't bother denying Jane's words, but she didn't believe them. She was plain...it was Jane that was a goddess. She finally nodded with a soft smile. "It will be fun, I promise you. This is nothing to worry about.
„You are going to be the star...I know it," she said.
"If you say so..." Jane said, still smiling and left the lobby with Maura to go to the greet and meeting. The second the doors opened, Jane felt immediatly sick and wanted to leave but she knew she couldn't. She forced herself to smile and entered with Maura, thankful that she was by her side.
Maura placed her hand on the small of Jane's back and ushered her inside. Many eyes faced them...Maura knew they were all looking at Jane and that made her smile. She had no idea that some were also looking at her. She was far shorter than Jane even in heels when Jane was in heels, but she was ravishing in her gown. Maura moved Jane toward a group of men and women and introduced her. Tina was across the room and when she saw them, she started to make her way over.
"Oh Maura, I am so glad you two made it." Tina said and hugged her old friend, kissing her cheeks. "You look fabulous. I can actually picture you as a model." Tina said to her friend and smiled. "You should wear clothes like this more often." She winked at her.
Jane felt somewhat stupid since they all were french of course, and she couldn't speak it at all. They did talk english with her but still she felt stupid for forcing them to speak english with her even though they were in france.
Maura hugged Tina and returned the kisses to her cheek before stepping back and smiling. "You and I both know, I do not fit in with that crowd," she said and laughed softly.
"You remember Jane," she said and Tina stepped forward kissing Jane's cheeks. "Of course I do and Miss Jane...you are just what I wanted for this. Young, dark, vibrant...lovely."
Jane smiled softly at Tina. "Thank you, Miss...I really can't thank you enough for offering me this oppertunity. This is still like a dream to me. I think I don't realize what happened until I see myself on the magazine cover..." Jane said and stroke some of her dark hair behind her ear.
"You are very welcome. You really did it yourself...you are very good and had the look I was needing for the cover," Tina said and smiled from Jane to Maura and back again.
"It will be a day from now. Tomorrow you will get fitted for all of the clothing at 7 am..." Tina said and Maura nodded.
"Okay, sounds good to me." Jane smiled as a guy came up that wanted to introduce her to a group of photographers. Jane excused herself and left with him. Tina smiled at Maura.
"So...what are you doing after this party?" She asked her.
Maura smiled and let Jane go even if she didn't want her to go. She smiled at Tina and shrugged.
"Oh I am taking Jane around the city. She has never been. I want her to see how lovely it is at night." Maura smiled at Tina and messed with a curl in her ponytail.
"That sounds wonderful." Tina said and smiled at her. "Congratulations..." She then said and stepped a bit closer. "About you and Jane. I see the way she looks at you, and the way you look at her." Tina said whispering so no one else would hear it. "Paris is really beautiful by night, she'll love it, I am sure."
"I really care about her...Tina and I want what is best for her and you an really see that, Tina?" Maura smiled and looked down for a moment before looking back up. "I care for her so very much." She added and then took a glass of wine from the tray.
"I am not blinde." She chuckled and took a glass of wine from the tray as well. "I am happy for you. You deserve it. And Jane seems like a nice girl." Tina said with a smile and lifted her glass up.
"To you and Jane." She said before she drunk a sip.
"Of course you aren't," Maura mirrored Tina's laugh and sipped at her wine. "She is so nice Tina. Much more than anything I could have ever thought I wanted. She is like an angel compared to Rebecca." Maura then lifted her glass to Tina and clanked before drinking a sip. Her eyes wandered over to where Jane was.
After the whole meeting and greeting was coming to an end, Jane walked over to Maura. „Will you show me Paris now?" She whispered and looked in her eyes, a smile across her face.
"I'm definiatly ready for it and I need to get outta here..." She told her.
Maura took a look around the room and then back at Jane. "Yes," she said with a soft smile and grabbed Jane's hand, not afraid of who saw them together. If Tina could see it...so could everyone else. That was really fine with her.
She stepped outside and raised a hand for a taxi. "Down town or the city park, or a nice cafe?"
Jane shrugged her shoulders. "I don't mind. You know Paris better than I do. You pick..." Jane said and gave her hand a soft squeeze. "I bet the whole city is beautiful at night." The brunette pointed out as she got into the taxi.
"It is Jane...one of the most lovely places in the world. Believe me, I have seen nothing better. Ok, so the city park, which is right down town, I think will do just fine," she said as the taxi came to a stop before them. Maura got in and Jane would follow. Inside the taxi, Maura would grab Jane's face and just kiss her for the longest time.
Jane kissed the blonde lovingly back, enjoying the time she got to spend with her. She couldn't believe she was in Paris with her. As the taxi stopped at some point, Jane climbed out with Maura.
"Wow it's beautiful here..." Jane said and looked around, glancing at Maura. "But not as beautiful as you. And you were right...the meeting and greeting wasn't so bad..." She said softly.
"Of course it wasn't," Maura replied, getting out of the taxi and taking Jane's hand. She paid the driver and then walked across the street and into the lit part with flowers, street lights, winding paths and private areas. Maura paused and slipped out of her shoes and held them in her other hand as she walked with Jane down the grassy path.
"Go on...the grass is cool against your feet."
Jane stopped and slipped off her shoes. She held them in one hand, while she took Maura's hand with the other hand. She started walking and smiled to herself.
"You know...I am very happy with you. I didn't think I'd ever be that happy with a woman. But I am. Incredibly happy. I feel so free, and everything feel so real and right." Jane said as she walked next to Maura, giving her hand a squeeze.
Maura looked at Jane as they walked with her words, slightly confused.
"You never thought you could be happy with a woman? Really? I always knew I could be after I fell in love with Rebecca...but she destroyed that part in me, but after awhile that healed and I was better..."
"Well what can I say...I never thought about a woman like that before I met you." Jane said smling and glanced over to her. "But I am glad I met you, I wouldn't want it any other way." The Italian girl said softly.
"I never want it any other way," she mirrored Jane's words and then paused, moving inside a cazebo and sitting Jane down. She rest her head against Jane's shoulder for a moment, sighing and closing her eyes.
"It is so quiet here...so peaceful. Sometimes I never want to go back home."
Jane stroke over her hair gently as Maura rested her head on her shoulder. "You don't have to go back..." Jane whispered.
"You can stay here and open a model agency here... You speak french, it won't be a problem for you." Jane said softly. "If that is what you wanna do - do it."
Maura lifted her head and stared into Jane's eyes. Her lips flickered a smile.
"Would you stay here too...I mean, you could really be big here...You are soo beautiful Jane...you could model anywhere and make something of yourself," she said and continued to smile. Maura really didn't want to go back home...she loved Paris...and Jane...and if she could make them both work together...
Jane's heart melted as the blonde asked her to stay here with her. To Jane it was like the cutest thing anyone ever asked her.
"I'd love to..." Jane whispered. "I'll finish College here and we can live together... I couldn't imagine my life without you anymore..." She whispered and smiled, kissing her.
Maura's heart fluttered at Jane's words and then she was kissed. Her hand cupped Jane's face and she tilted her head back, drawing Jane against her.
Finally, she laid back, pulling Jane with her as she laid on the cement bench. She tangled her fingers into Jane's hair, kissing her. The stars were clear in the sky over their heads and the place was calm and very peaceful.
THE END
Hope you liked it. I think I'll start uploading a new story within the next days. I really can't thank you enough for staying that long with me and reading the story.
Now here's a little something for you:
PM me any AU idea you have for a Rizzles story and I will pick one or two and write a fanfiction with my friend about it. :) Looking forward to hearing your ideas.
