Hey my amazing readers! Thank you for the lovely reviews! Means a lot, really…

Sorry for the long wait…Here is the next part…Please enjoy! :)

Disclaimer: Nothing is mine…

Lisbon woke to a buzzing sound and she stirred with one thought. Sarah! When she opened her eyes she remembered where she was and the events of previous night had filled her mind. She remembered the wonderful time with Jane then Grace and Wayne's leaving, Sarah acting weird and then the hospital.

It took her mere seconds then she realized her phone was still ringing. She reached for it with one hand and rubbed her eyes with the other. She checked her watch before she answered. It was late actually, really late.

„Hallo?" she picked up, and it came to her mind that she forgot to look at the caller ID. Her voice was still hoarse from sleep.

„Hi, I would like to talk with Teresa Lisbon!" came the confused answer from the other side. It was a man's voice but she didn't recognise it.

„It's me, who am I talking with?" she asked.

„I'm Brian, Brian Graham. We went to high school together, you probably don't remember…" he said but she interupted him.

„Of course I remember you…Brian, hi! What's up with you?" she asked, already cheered up. She loved to hear about old friends from school.

„Well…" he was clearly surprised that she was so friendly. „I..I'm okay I guess…I'm a singer now actually…I play an acoustic guitar and I happened to be in town, so I thought I would call you. What about you?" he asked.

„I'm fine too, I'm still working at the CBI, I have my own team, which means I have no social life to be honest!" she laughed into the phone and heard that Ryan did the same.

„Teresa, what do you say for a dinner? Would I sound too pushy?" he asked suddenly.

„No, not at all!" she assured him. „I'd love to have dinner with you. When and where?" she took control immediately.

„Well, I was thinking we could go to Ivy Chamber. It's a new, italian place near the ocean. You like italian, right?" he asked.

„Sure, it sounds lovely." She nodded and after a second she just realized a small pulsing heat in her tummy. It was so like a date. But then she remembered that she shouldn't be doing this…Not after yesterday with Jane. Of course she went on dates in the past too, even if she knew they weren't serious, nothing real. She did it for the sight. She didn't want to be the lonely boss who never had a boyfriend. She had given up trying to figure out why she didn't have one years ago. Probably because of her work. But she knew, and felt deep down in her soul that she loved Patrick. She didn't know when but over the years she had fallen for him badly. And this thing with Sarah and yesterday night only made it stronger.

„Okay, then I'll go and pick you up, Monday at the CBI at 6 o'clock!" Brian said and Lisbon pulled herself out of her thoughts. He was just a friend, nothing more. No need to feel guilty…And in fact, she couldn't be sure how Jane felt. They didn't have time to talk about it yesterday.

„How do you know where is it?" she asked, her voice confused.

„I don't…I will call you before I go and you could tell me where is it…Is that okay to you?" he said, a smile hiding in his tone.

„Fine for me! They, I'll wait for your call! It was good to hear from you Brian!"

„Same here! Then Monday!" he told her in a sound of a promise and hang up.

Lisbon put her phone down and looked out of the window. She ran a hand through her messed hair as she eyed the sunbeams. Few minutes later she crawled out of her bed and yawned.

She made her way out into the kitchen and in the door she stretched. Jane and Sarah were nowhere to see and she walked to the table where she saw a little, white note. She picked it up and read:

„Good morning my beautiful, You were sleeping so peacefully I didn't have the heart to wake you up. We went on a little walk with Sarah, we will pick up something to lunch, and there is some eggs in the pan for you! We must be back in an hour, just relax and go back to bed! (Though I know you won't…)
I hope you have the sweetest dreams!
Love, Patrick"
Lisbon had to smile on the gentle words. It was all written in Jane's elegant handwriting and she could almost see the way his tongue poked out as he formed the words. She put is down back on the table and looked around to find the frying pan on the counter. She reached for it and sighed pleasently when she felt it was still warm. But, on the other hand that meant that Jane and Sarah hasn't been gone long. They probably left the house about 15 minutes ago.

She took a seat at the table and her fingers played with the edge of Jane's note as she ate. My beautiful…He wrote. A fluttering in her stomach spread as she considered the thing that maybe he really thought it that way. That maybe it wasn't just an ordinary Jane- nickname. Not just a form of address.

She decided to wash her hair before they got home and after breakfast she quickly headed to the bathroom to do so. She was done before they arrived and she sat down on her couch with an exasperated look on her face. She never had a problem with being alone before, but now, after living with Sarah and Jane for some months she couldn't imagine how she did that. She felt so lonely, so deserted. She had no idea what to do while they were away. She caught herself glancing at the door if they were back, then at the clock silently counting when they would be back. In her final desperation she turned the Tv on and switched the chanells, searching for something worth watching. As much as she tried to keep herself busy she couldn't help, she felt bored. Entirely, painfully bored. So when she heard a voice coming from the front door then the small chuckle from Jane in the hall she jumped up from the sofa and literally ran to them.

„Hey, you're back!" she said cheerfully. Actually, too cheerful to miss. Especially to Patrick Jane!

„Hi Sleeping Beauty! Yeah we are. Haven't missed us, have you?" he teased. She obviously couldn't wait for them. The sparkilng of her eyes and the slight blush on her cheeks gave her away.

„Nope." She muttered but her attention was already on Sarah. The baby was dressed in her jacket and an orange cap. „Hey baby, did you have fun with Patrick? Or he was being himself? Hmm?„ she murmured to her and the girl giggled. Just like she would have understood it.

„Well, really thanks for that Lisbon!" Jane pouted and with his head high he went to the kitchen. He put the paper bag next to the sink and started to unload the contents. He looked back, grinning above his shoulder.

Lisbon took Sarah in her arms and she went to the kitchen too. She stood some steps behind him and gently swayed her body to entertain the baby. She glanced at the goods and her eyes lit up at the sight of chocolate muffins.

„I think I can take it back, considering that you have something for me…" she winked and looked pointedly at the box. Jane turned his head towards the things he brought and his smirk widened.

„Oh no, my dear! It's all for me and Sarah…" he teased her. She stepped closer, raising her eyebrows.

„Really? What about those muffins?" she asked, mocked worry in her voice.

„This?" he held up the cookies playfully and found great joy in watching her pupils dilate slightly and he couldn't help but gasp a little when her tongue slid across her lips to moisture it.

„Uh-hmm…I thought maybe I could get some of it!" she told him and she stepped even closer to him. They were now only few feet away and he could smell the fresh vanilla in her hair.

„We'll see…What did you just say about me?" he growled, suddenly finding it hard to think clearly. Difficult to keep back from jumping at her right there and then. Her hair fell in silky waves to her shoulders and she was still in her payamas. The swinging of her hips made it even more impossible not to stare.

„I was just pointing out how amusing life with you can be…and that you are so smart, and really handsome…" she grinned, her eyes all the while glued to the box full of muffins. Though as she listed the compliments Jane could see in her eyes, and on her face that she meant some of it. Like when she said how handsome he was he saw her pupils dilate even more and her voice broke a little and it became slightly hoarse. It made his heart race.

„Hmm…sounds better…And what about kissing? Am I good at kissing?" he pushed. He stepped closer to her and now he felt her warmness. Lisbon sucked in a shapr breath and looked straight into his blue eyes. A fire so intense was burning in them that she had to remind herself of Sarah's presence before she would have had her way with him at that moment.

„I'm not sure…It was so long…If you could just refresh my memories." She played along and he didn't refuse her hint. His hands came up and pulled her to him. His lips crashed on hers and his tongue find its way in her open mouth immediately. He explored her mouth and she couldn't hold back her soft moans of pleasure.

When they broke apart both breathed hard. Jane looked into her eyes and she held his gaze. A whole conversation was going on between them without any words.

„So?" he asked finally.

„You're better than I remembered…" she whispered and winked at him."Oh my God! What do we teach to this little girl? Huh…I'm such a bad mother…" she rolled her eyes but he didn't see any sign of regret on her face.

„You're a wonderful mother." He told her and kissed her cheek once more. Then he reached his hand out for Sarah and she gave her to him qith a questioning look. „She needs a diaper change." He explained it and turned to the living room.

…

Monday morning she felt utterly happy. They spent the weekend together, laughing and having fun with Jane and Sarah. The baby seemed to be really okay now and she found herself less afraid than before.

When they entered the CBI something crossed her mind though. Brian. She was going to dinner with him today.

A good wave of anticipation washed over her. She really didn't have any time to meet with old friends and it was great to hear from him.

At 11 a.m. VanPelt yelled in from the bullpen.

„Hey Boss, someone is searching for you on line 4!"

„Thanks, I have it.." Lisbon nodded and picked up her phone. „Hello?" she asnwered.

„Hi, it's Brian! Today still stands?" he asked in a cheery voice.

„Sure!" she said, suddenly she found herself smiling too.

„Then, would you tell me how to get to that mysterious work place of yours?"

„It's not that hard…let see…You will come from the highway?" she asked and he hummed in agreement. „Then, you have to exit at Washington street and turn right…"

It took her only 5 minutes to explain and he promised to be there at 6. She found herself excited about the meeting, but not like with Jane. She didn't think about Brian that way.

She went out into the kitchen to have a coffee and she found VanPelt there, looking at her with a strange smile.

„So who is this guy?" VanPelt asked

„He is just an old classmate. I went to college with him…"she said and she casted down her eyes. At the time she really had a thing for Brian.

That was when Jane entered the kitchen. Lisbon went quiet in a second and of course he noticed. He looked from Lisbon to VanPelt and eyed them suspiciously.

„What were you talking about?" he asked.

„Just a …" VanPelt started but Lisbon cut her off.

„Nothing!" she said but Patrick could see the blush forming on her face.

„Really? You make it kind of hard to believe with your face is telling the truth." He smirked.

VanPelt toughtfully left the room without any more words.

„Well, okay…I have a meeting today with one of my old classmates." Lisbon said and she looked into his eyes. She had no reason to lie to him.

„A guy…" he guessed.

„Yeah, Brian…" she nodded.

„Okay…I will look after Sarah then…And you just have fun! Should we wait for you, or you will be late?" he asked. There was a hidden question in that one and she knew it. He wanted to know if she was going to spend the night with Brian. She heard the hurt in his voice, saw the pain in his eyes. He really thought she was having a date. The thought of him jealous was just too much for her and she couldn't resist the urge to let him think that way for a while.

„I don't know…It probably would be better not to wait. At least for Sarah." She told him with a straight face. His face fell and any sparkle that remained disappeared from his eyes. He fixed his stare at his shoes and nodded.

„Okay…Then if I wouldn't see you till then, have fun!" he said and turned on his heels. He rather stormed out of the kitchen and Lisbon saw that he didn't stop until he reached the stairs, up to his attic. She knew she was guilty, but it was so much fun. She will tell him the truth but she wanted to enjoy this a little bit…

Next coming:

When the tall man entered the bullpen every eye turned in his direction. He looked around and the confused look on his face told the people that he had never been there before.

VanPelt decided to save him and she stood up with a helpful smile.

„Hey, can I help you?" she asked. The man turned to her and stepped closer.

„Yes, I'm looking for Teresa Lisbon. I'm Brian, I think she is waiting for me…"

This was it….How do you like it? Bad? Good?
