Alone With You chapter 11
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for all the awesome reviews, not only on this story but on my others as well...you ladies ROCK!
Still own nada!
Enjoy!
The weekend was finally here and Jane relished in the fact, that this was the first weekend she had off in three weeks. She went to the morgue to see her favorite Medical Examiner but it was empty. Her office door was closed and the light was off, indicating she was gone for the day.
She sent her a text asking if she wanted some company tonight. She never heard back from her.
Jane was worried about her, it's not like her to not respond. Even though it was late, she couldn't help the strange feeling she had in the pit of her stomach. She grabbed her keys, locked up and headed out the door.
She pulled up to her blonde's and immediately saw her car missing from her driveway. She didn't know whether to be relieved or worried. Sitting there for a few minutes, deciding her next move…she reached into the middle console and retrieved a notepad and pen.
"Hey Maur, just checking on you. You haven't answered your text and that's unlike you. Please text or call me letting me know you are okay." J
She ran up to the front door and slid the paper into the crack, as much as would allow. Making sure it was secure, she retreated back to her vehicle. She sat there for a few minutes longer before returning home.
R&I R&I R&I
Maura finally arrived home in the early hours and saw a note stuck in her door jam. Removing it, she opened and saw the J scrolled on the bottom. She put it in her purse, then unlocked her door. She was still upset with Jane for the other night and wasn't ready to deal with her just yet.
The remainder of the week provided very little interaction for them, between their cases and Jane being…well Jane.
She entered her en suite, where she got undressed. Folding her clothes and placing them to the side; she then washed the makeup off her face, brushed her teeth and crawled into bed.
She was exhausted…she immediately fell asleep.
Maura heard a pounding in her dreams, it was loud and obtrusive. Her sub conscious slowly permeated her REM cycle, she could feel herself being pulled out of her dream and back to reality. Her eyes slowly blinked open as she heard it again, realizing it was not a dream. Her eye lids were heavy, it feels like she just fell asleep. Slowly she exited her comfortable warm covers…finding her slippers and robe, she headed towards the offensive sound.
She peeked through the peep hole and saw the same raven haired women that entertained her dreams.
"Maura…wakey wakey…eggs and bakey." Jane almost shouted.
The blonde couldn't help but laugh. As upset as she was with her, the brunette had that way about her. She could penetrate every emotion she had. Giving in, she unlocked the deadbolt, turned the handle and greeted her lover.
"Good morning Jane." She politely replied, stepping away from the door, so the Detective could enter.
"Hey, I'm glad your okay, I was worried about you. I came by last night or rather crazy early this morning to check on you; I left you a note. Was it not there when you got home?" She asked, relieved her Doctor was safe and sound.
"I'm so sorry Jane, there wasn't any note that I could read." Technically it wasn't a lie…she couldn't bring herself to read it. "What did it say?"
"I just asked you to send me a text, letting me know you were alright?" She sounded emotionally off.
"Thank you for worrying about me, I am sorry that I scared you." Seeing Jane so vulnerable, her own sadness about the situation lightened. "Thank you for checking on me." She stepped into the brunette and wrapped her arms around her neck pulling her close.
Jane reciprocated her motions.
Their lips tentatively met, it was slow and sweet.
The Detective backed up slightly, still holding her blonde close. "Maura?"
"Yes." Was all that was returned.
"Would you like to come over for dinner tonight?" She shyly asked.
Maura couldn't believe Jane was asking her over. One one hand, she wanted to absolutely say yes and see where it led but the other hand was still hurt by Jane's actions the other night. She already had plans with an old friend tonight. While it wasn't a perfect date opportunity, she could invite Jane along and see where it went. This would be neutral ground, so to speak.
"Any other night, I would love too but I already have plans." She was hoping Jane would take the bait.
"Oh…okay, another time then." She actually sounded sad.
It was slightly disheartening that she did not, in fact, take the bait. "It's nothing spectacular but you could join us if you wanted too." She wanted her to say yes, she wanted her to join them. She wanted to do everything with this woman.
"Nah…I don't wanna be a third wheel."
"Of course you wouldn't be Jane, we are just going to dinner then dancing, a kind of girls night out. You are always welcome to come. You might just have fun." She tried not to sound too hopeful.
"I'm not much of a dancer." She said adamantly.
"You don't actually have to dance, you know." She smiled at her. "Just think about it, if you change your mind…please come…promise me you will at least think about it." Now she did sounded hopeful.
"I'll think about it, but no promises…okay." Her disappointment screamed volumes.
"Thank you Jane…can I make you some breakfast?" She sweetly asked, changing the subject. She wanted her to want to come and she didn't think begging would be the best route. She also wasn't ready for Jane to leave yet either.
"It depends, will it be full of carbs, fat and grease…or that fru fru stuff I've seen you eat at work out of the dead person fridge." She made a blach face.
Maura couldn't help but laugh, "I'll can make you eggs, with turkey bacon and toast."
"Turkey bacon? You mean that's a real thing. I always thought people were just fucking with me when they said that." She squinched her face while saying those words.
Still laughing, "Language Jane, but yes it is indeed a real thing, if you would like to be a big girl and try it, you might actually like it."
"What am I…Mikey?" She grinned.
"What...who's Mikey…I don't even know what that means." She was confused by the statement.
"Seriously Maur…You don't remember those Life commercials from when you were a kid…I'm not gonna try it, you try it…I'm not gonna try it…hey lets get Mikey…he'll try anything." She mimicked.
"That sounds down right mean, that poor Mikey child." It always bothered her how mean kids were to one another.
"It's a commercial Maur, it's not like it really happened. It was funny and a staple in every kids life for years." She was laughing.
She didn't watch TV much as a child, she was always reading books. Deciding this conversation was futile. "Do you want turkey bacon or not? I would be more than happy to make you a spinach and portobello mushroom omelet." She knew the Detective would relinquish the fight…God forbid the woman eat a green.
"Okay, I'll try your turkey bacon but I want plenty of salt and pepper on my eggs…pretty please." She grinned and batted her eyelashes. "And lots of butter on my toast." She added.
"Fine, it's your clogged arteries. If I didn't know it was scientifically impossible, I would say I can just hear your arteries closing as we speak." She smiled and turned towards the kitchen with the brunette following.
Jane chose not to speak any kind of retort, she just chose to watch Maura's ass swing from side to side.
"Need any help?" Jane offered.
"You could chop the vegetables…have you ever actually seen a vegetable?" She laughed.
Using her best country accent, "Why yes ma'am, that's them colorful things on a plate that make the dead cow even prettier."
Maura just fell out laughing. "Mark my words, I'll get you eating them before you know it."
"Uh uh…unless they are draped across your naked body, I doubt it." She was absolutely positive about that.
Maura reached into the crisper and pulled out mushrooms, bell pepper and onion. She handed the vegetables to Jane and asked for them to be diced.
"Yes ma'am." She grinned and proceeded to chop them the perfect size.
The Doctor just watched her knife skills, she was lost in the rhythmic movements of the steel hitting the board. She wouldn't have thought the brunette would be so precise.
"Very good knife skills, where did you learn that?" She sounded surprised.
"Have you met my mother." She laughed.
They worked in unison, one chopping, the other cooking. Breakfast was a smooth experience. They worked very well in the kitchen together Jane noticed…as did Maura.
They took their plates to the table and sat next to each other, closer than they probably should have.
"Hey this faux bacon is really good." She was amazed.
Maura could only laugh. "Stick with me and I'll introduce your palette to all kinds of wonderful new flavors."
"Oh…okay, if I must." She sounded so put out. They both laughed.
Jane was kind of shocked at how easy this all was, it wasn't forced, it wasn't hard, it wasn't pressured or awkward. The conversation rolled between them very smoothly, as if they had been doing this for years. She wasn't sure what she had expected but this wasn't it.
'Maybe it wouldn't be so bad.' She thought to herself.
But doing this in private was one thing, doing this in front of others was a whole different beast. One she didn't think she could slay right now. She didn't think she could do this with others around…or could she? She really did care for Maura, but she was terrified at people treating her differently. She watch the news, she saw how people treated people that were with a person of the same sex…it wasn't pretty. It was't accepted amongst the population, she was a Boston Homicide Detective…would she be judged differently? Maura was the Chief Medical Examiner of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. How would they react to her? She couldn't bear the thought of someone being ugly to the Doctor, because of her.
It would break her heart if unkind words were bestowed upon the blonde because she was partnered with her. Then she would have to shoot someone and then she'd go to jail and she wouldn't be with her blonde anyway…'damn assholes' she thought.
"Jane…Jane." Maura's voice broke through her thoughts.
"Yeah" She said, returning to her.
"Do you not like your eggs, they are going to get cold and cold eggs are not pleasant?" Her voice was tender and caring.
"Nah, their great, thank you for making them." She did a double time on scarfing them down, they were in fact on the cool side and she wasn't a fan of cold eggs, but her thoughts had gotten the better of her.
Once finished, they both took the dishes to the sink. Maura said she wanted to wash them real quick and Jane could have a seat at the bar. Jane didn't say a word, she just picked up a dish towel and started drying.
Again, everything flowed flawlessly, they were perfectly in sync.
Once completed, they moved to the living room.
"Would you like to watch a movie, I'll let you pick." The doctor offered.
"Seriously…anything I want?" She was stunned. "Do you have pay per view?"
"Oh lord, am I going to regret this?" She laughed. "You're not going to have me watching some mid-evil barbaric film, with totally unrealistic fight scenes, are you…where one man takes on fifteen guys with weapons. But they only strike one at a time…in an actual fight, that is highly unlikely. They would all jump him at the same time."
"Oh no you don't." Waving her finger at the Doctor. "Don't you be hating on action flicks…cause they totally rock." She could not believe this woman didn't like action films, she would introduce her to a whole new film genre.
"For every action film you make me sit through, you have to watch one of my documentaries." She smirked…knowing she had the Detective, because she knew the brunette would rather eat a vegetable than sit through a documentary.
"Okay…romantic comedy it is." Jane grabbed the remote and flipped through the channels.
"I'll be right back." Maura couldn't help but laugh.
Jane had settled on one, it wasn't her favorite type of movie but she was hoping to get some cuddling time in with her blonde.
As if on cue, Maura walked in with a pillow and blanket, sans the robe and slippers. She was so adorable in her pajama shorts. "I was hoping you would let me lay on you." She sounded perfectly innocent.
"Aw man, do I gotta." Her eyes were twinkling with laughter, Maura got the joke and giggled.
"Yes you do, it's your punishment for waking me up so early." She grinned, as she handed the pillow to Jane.
The Detective couldn't help but think, if this was the repercussions for waking her up early, she'd come over early every morning.
Jane got comfortable on her back and then Maura got comfortable on her, pulling the blanket up. She was tucked in between her brunette and the couch. Her head rested on Jane's chest as their wrapped arms around each other.
Jane hit the play now button on the pay per view movie. She laid the remote on the coffee table and started scratching her blonde's back, beneath the silky fabric. Maura elicited a moan from the sensations generated by the brunette's fingers.
The Doctor was asleep before the first lines of the film were spoken.
The brunette didn't move for the longest time, other than continually caressing Maura's skin. She wanted her to fall into a deep sleep, obviously she needed it.
She couldn't seem to take her eyes off Maura, she loved watching her sleep, she was beyond stunning. From the way her lips were barely parted, to the way her eyes danced back and forth beneath the lids. She was truly perfection.
Since she wasn't watching the movie anyway, she grabbed the remote and changed the channel to ESPN but turned the volume down dramatically, she didn't want to wake her up. Placing the remote back, she shifted slightly to her right, wrapped up the blonde and closed her eyes.
