A/N: What? Another chapter already? Your welcome! :) Im trying to make up for taking so long in between updates! Here is 11, I hope you enjoy!
I think I slept about two hours total last night. Im exhausted! Having Jane down in the living room didn't help, I still was nervous. I didn't want anything to happen to either of us while I slept. Before now, before this case I didn't have trouble sleeping if there was a crazy killer on the loose. I felt like if I fell asleep for too long then it was open season on agent and consultant.
The early morning sun was streaming through my bedroom window. It was actually quite peaceful. It seemed like it was the calm before a storm. It only seemed fitting. The sun beam was right in my face which was what had woken me up in the first place. Looking at the clock and seeing it read 6:17am made me groan and turn away from the warm sunshine. Burring my face in my pillow desperately trying to cling to some sort of sleep or at least relax until it was absolutely crucial that I get up.
About ten minutes later I was finally feeling like I could fall asleep without worrying to much, and the fact that is was light out helped. Not many criminals tended to do things in daylight! Maybe I should be nocturnal for the time being? I can't do that I have a job I have to do. In fact, I probably should get up and get to that job. I sigh and roll onto my back, thats when I hear the knock.
The door to my bedroom opens a crack and Jane pops his head in with a smile on his face. "Lisbon? Are you awake?"
"No!" I said sarcastically and threw my arm over my face to block out the still shining sun. "Go away!"
He chuckled but came in anyway. "You know you should be getting ready for work!" I could feel he was now lounging on the opposite side of my bed with his back against the head board.
My heart rate sped up when I first felt his weight dip the mattress as he got comfortable. I didn't move or say anything. But I did smell something! It smelled wonderful. Coffee! He made coffee for me!
He must have noticed the change in my breathing, "Yes that is coffee you smell. You will have to get up if you want it!"
"No I won't. Because you brought it to me." I smiled and uncovered my eyes to look for it.
Jane was sitting in the same position I assumed he was but he had a coffee mug in one of his hands. Sitting up on one of my elbows I turn slightly so I could reach for my mug. When he saw what I was doing he slid off the bed and stood up, dangly the cup just out of my reach.
"Come on Jane..." I sit all the way up now and look to him pleading, "its like 6:30 in the morning! Just give me the coffee."
"You sound so cute in the morning. But I told you, you have to get up if you want it!" He gave me a smile and took a small step around my bed towards my bathroom door still holding the coffee.
Deciding to let the cute comment slide, "Jane. Thats my bathroom! Just leave the cup and get out! I will be ready to go In half an hour!"
Jane booked it into the bathroom for a moment. I hear him turn the water on and then rush out and over to me. All of the sudden the blankets are being yanked of me and i'm in his arms being carried in to the bathroom.
"JANE! Alright! I'm awake! Put me down!" Im trying to keep from laughing but its not going to well. Im clinging to Janes neck in fear I was going to fall, while trying to kick free. Which is a little contradictory.
Arriving in the bathroom i'm finally set on my feet just outside the running shower. "Now drink your coffee, take a shower and get dresses so we can go to work!"
"You can go without me you know!" I shout as the door closed.
"Yeah right Lisbon!" He yelled back.
The coffee was delicious! For someone who doesn't even drink it, he can make quite a cup! Sighing, I turn my iPod on and set it to shuffle and climb into the shower.
When Jane and I arrived at the CBI it was business as usual. Neither one of us said anything about what happened last night or this morning which I was thankful for. I don't think I am ready to confront it just yet. It was very domestic, and it scared me.
The day was uneventful yet there was something off about the atmosphere in the office. Maybe it was just me but it just didn't feel right. Yesterday we arrested William DeParvine on a number of charges. So he was locked away in bookings. Van Pelt had tried talking to him again this morning but he still said nothing. Jane spent the day in my office on my couch sleeping.
Now that I think about it, he didn't look so good this morning. He doesn't sleep much as it is but it looked like he didn't sleep at all. This made me feel bad. But not to bad because it was his choice to stay, I reminded myself. I might have to bring out the air mattress tonight for him.
No new cases have come in so its a little quiet around here. Lots of paperwork. Everything just seems so calm. Its unnerving. It almost feels like its my last chance to live because there wont be a tomorrow! I don't like it. Maybe i'm just on edge! With everything that was been happening lately I could definitely be a little stressed out. Over worked.
"Lisbon, relax. If something happens we will be ready. And together, so there is no need to worry." Jane said placing a cup of tea in front of me.
I smiled and my shoulders relaxed a little while sipping the soothing beverage. "Thanks Jane. I just would like to go home. I didn't sleep at all! And with the way you have been sleeping all day today it seems you didn't either. Sorry you had to sleep on the couch." I said a shyly.
"Im not going to lie to you, yes I didn't sleep, but its not the reason you think. I liked your couch even though I really didn't fit," he gave me a knowing smile and continued, "but I was more worried about you. Someone could have easily gotten to you. And that worried me to the point where I couldn't dare close my eyes."
"Just so you know...I was...worried about you too Jane."
"Thank you! That means a lot Teresa. Now, How about we round everyone up everyone and have some fun?!" He was already on his way out of my office without letting me protest. Having no idea what he has planned I figure I better follow him!
"And what exactly is your idea of fun?" I yelled when I caught up to him in the bullpen where we was talking to the rest of the team.
"Teaching me some self defense of course!"
Surprised I ask "Now?"
"Why not! We have nothing else to do today!"
Rolling my eyes and with a shake of my head I head back into my office. There was no use arguing, he would win anyway! Jane followed suit.
"I told the team to meet us in the CBI gym in an hour! We need to leave so we can pick up our stuff! Come on Lisbon, lets go!" he was practically dragging me out of the building. He must be excited. I have to say, I am a little too. Seeing Jane in other clothing then his suits was a rare sight. I will take any opportunity I have!
A/N: Thanks for reading! Please review! I feel like I'm dragging this story out, what do you think? Chapter 12 should be posted tomorrow morning around noon, my time!
