"Come on, Maur," Jane said, placing her hand over Maura's on the dash. "Don't worry. I don't know why you're so nervous."
"Jane," she scoffed, "I—You wouldn't understand."
"I can try." Maura sighed, and looked out the window.
"I've never done anything bad."
"This is bad," Jane giggled.
"Jane, I snuck out and it's past my curfew! If my parents ask questions, you know I can't lie! They won't allow me to hang out with you anymore!" she said, looking incredously at Jane.
"Dude, it's not illegal." Jane stopped the pick up and unbuckled her seatbelt, turning towards Maura.
"Look at me," she said. Maura continued to look out the window. "Hey, look at me." Jane placed her hand on Maura's thigh and rubbed comforting circles, sending shivers down Maura's spine.
"It's okay," Jane whispered. "Look... If you don't want to do it, I won't make you. I don't wanna force you to do anything you don't want to do."
"No," Maura said suddenly, unbuckling her seatbelt and looking at Jane. "Let's go. I don't know why I'm making such a big deal out of it. It's not like my parents will ever know that I snuck out." Jane smiled as she got out of her pickup and ran over to Maura's door to open it for her. They walked to the back of the pickup and Jane let down the tailgate before hopping up onto it. She helped Maura up and they laid down in the bed, staring up at the stars.
"Thats Orion," Maura said, pointing at the bright constellation.
"You know, Maur," Jane said, ignoring her. "You're such a goody two shoes. You need to let loose a little."
"Why?" Jane turned to look at Maura, and smiled.
"Don't get me wrong, I love everything about you, but... You need to be more adventurous. Take a risk. You only live once."
"Yoh-loh." Jane quickly looked at Maura and furrowed her eyebrows.
"What the hell did you just say?"
"Yoh-loh. It's the acronym for 'you only live once.'" Jane busted out laughing, and Maura stared at her, hurt.
"What's so funny?"
"It's YOLO, Maur. Not yoh-loh." She wiped tears away from her eyes, and Maura furrowed her eyebrows.
"Oh," she simply said.
"Look!" Jane said excitedly as she pointed up at the sky. Maura watched the plane fly over them, smiling.
"It's—" Maura was cut off by a wailing behind them.
"Shit," Jane cursed as she sat up. "Shit, Maur. I'm so sorry."
"What?" Maura sat up, and her eyes followed Jane's gaze. That's when she saw the cop car.
"Stay down, maybe he won't see you," Jane said, hopping off the tailgate and walking over to the police officer who'd just gotten out of his cruiser.
"Evening," Jane said. "What's the problem, officer?"
"You're tresspassing, ma'am."
"Pardon?" The cop pointed at a sign at the fence Jane had crossed when she was driving in.
"Did you not see the sign?"
"No sir," Jane said kindly. "I apologize, officer. I'll just let you leave and get back to your night." As she turned around, the officer grabbed her forearm.
"Hey!" Maura shouted, walking over to them. "Don't touch her!"
"Dammit, Maur," Jane yelled, "I said to stay in the pickup!"
"So you're trying to hide your friend from the law?" the officer asked.
"No, I— I—"
"It was my idea," Maura said, interrupting Jane. "I stayed in the car."
"Well, you're both under arrest," his partner, spinning Jane around.
"Easy! That hurt!" Jane shouted.
"Why are we under arrest?" Maura asked.
"You were trespassing."
"We didn't see the sign," Maura said quietly.
"Doesn't matter." The officer started yanking Jane towards his car, and Maura ran in front of him.
"Don't take us to jail, please! I am looking to attend Juilliard and I can't go with an arrest on my record!" she shouted. Jane laughed at Maura. She'd never seen her so angry.
"I'm sorry," he said.
"Look," she said, turning towards the officers partner. "Officer, please?" He couldn't have been over 24.
"Sorry, pretty girl," he smiled his award-winning smile, and Maura touched his arm.
"I'll... Buy you coffee some day?" He looked as if he was about to accept, but he received a death glare from the older cop.
"Sorry, ma'am." The old cop opened his door and put Jane in, the younger grabbing his pair of cuffs and slapping them on Maura's wrists before putting her in with Jane.
"Excuse me?" Maura asked. The officer bent down and looked at her. "Do you have a light?" The cop slammed the door after rolling his eyes, and Maura and they both started cracking up.
"Maura, you don't smoke!"
"You said I need to let loose," Maura giggled. She was struck with an idea and her eyes widened as her smile grew. "Let's make a run for it!" she said excitedly.
"What?" Jane said unbelievably.
"Let's go!" Maura laughed. "They don't know our name, we can run and they'll never know it was us. I'm sure there are several teenagers in Boston who come out here."
"Maur, you're crazy as hell," Jane laughed. "They'll outrun us, they have a car."
"We'll take your pickup." Jane shook her head, and scoffed.
"Your parents are gonna kill me."
"I'm sorry, Jane," Maura said softly, trying to put her hand on Jane's thigh before she remembered she was cuffed.
"It's not your fault. If I survive the night, I wouldn't change one thing. It's been fun." Jane smirked. "Plus, I got Maura Isles, Queen of Perfect to let loose and get in a little trouble." Maura smiled, and looked out the window at the cops, who were talking to the owner of the land who came out to see what all the commotion was.
Jane couldn't help but remember the way the blue lights shone, bringing out the freedom in Maura's eyes.
"You're so innocent," Jane said.
"Not anymore," Maura laughed. "You've corrupted me, Jane Rizzoli." Jane bowed — or did the best she could sitting down.
"I'm honored." Maura giggled, and Jane's heart fluttered. She loved that sound, and loved even more so that she was the cause of it.
Maura moved closer to Jane, their shoulders now touching.
They talked and joked and had a great time despite the circumstances, for at least half an hour. As the conversation drag on — but not in a boring way — Jane moved closer so that their thighs touched as well.
"They sure are taking their time," Jane said.
"Hm. Perhaps they're contemplating whether to let us go or not."
"Maybe we should just show them our tits and them decide." Maura looked at Jane with wide eyes, and they both started laughing uncontrollably.
"That's a great idea! Let's just strip naked and run around!" Maura proposed, still laughing.
"Have you ever done that?"
"In high school, I was part of the schools equestrian team. Once, during an equine dressage event, I rode nude on a horse as protest against the budget cuts." Jane started laughing again, but couldn't help feeling slightly aroused at the image of Maura Isles naked on a horse.
"Have you?" Maura asked.
"Streaked? Nah. Done something stupid? Definitely." She motioned around the car as best she could with her hands cuffed behind her. "Look at us now," she laughed. Maura smiled, and laid her head down on Jane's shoulder.
"Tired?" Jane asked, her voice cracking. The sudden contact sent shivers down Jane's spine.
"Yeah," Maura yawned. The door to the cop car suddenly opened and the older cop smiled at them. They couldn't tell if it was fake or genuine kindness.
"You're free to go," he said. He moved to allow them to get out, and then uncuffed them. "Owner said it was fine, just a misunderstanding."
"I don't mind you two coming out here," the man said, "just as long as you stop by the house first and let me know."
"Yes sir, will do," Jane said, shaking his hand. "Sorry, I must've missed the sign."
"I can see why," he said, smiling at Maura after he looked at her up and down. "You've got quite the eyeful for a girlfriend there."
"Oh, no, she's not my—"
"Don't lie, miss. I know people only being their friends out here to make out or get into their panties." Jane's eyes widened, and Maura chuckled quietly.
"I—no, I—"
"Just go," the older cop laughed at Jane's surprise and embarrassment.
"I could still use that coffee," the younger cop said as Maura started walking back to Jane's pickup. Maura turned back to look at Jane, who was holding her door open for her. She clutched her hands behind her and smiled as she turned back to the young cop.
"No thanks." She spun around on her heel, and walked to Jane, whispering her thanks as Jane took her hand and helped her up into the cab.
She couldn't believe she'd actually sat in a cop car, handcuffed, for an hour. It was unbelievable to her.
On the drive home, she couldn't help but stare at Jane the entire time, and hold her hand over the console. It was a completely platonic, friendly gesture, because Jane was just trying to calm Maura's nerves, if not her own as well.
Once they neared Maura's house in Beacon Hill, Jane shut off the pickup and helped Maura out. Her pickup was far too loud to go any further, and she really didn't want Maura to get into any more trouble than she already was.
"Jeez," Maura groaned as they started walking. "My feet are killing me."
"If I had to guess, I'd say it was because of those hundred-dollar Jimmy Choo's." Maura smiled impressively.
"Very remarkable, Jane. You knew who the designer was. I'm very impressed. You've been doing your research."
"Or maybe it was because they were all you talked about in History today. And then you got into a conversation about Jimmy and all kinds of shit no one cares about." Maura frowned, and Jane instantly felt remorse.
"I'm sorry," Maura mumbled.
"No, no," Jane said quickly. "I didn't mean it in a bad way. I think it's adorable and really fucking sexy." Jane blushed at her sudden revelation and profanity. "Sorry."
"You have your endearing qualities — and not so endearing qualities — and I have mine," Maura stated. Jane smiled and nodded as she took Maura's hand in her own, hoping to comfort and reassure her.
"You know you don't have to walk me," Maura said.
"I know," Jane replied. "But it'd make me feel better. Streets aren't safe at night. Never know what kind of creeper is hiding in the dark, waiting to snatch up a pretty little girl like you." She sighed and kicked a rock down the sidewalk. "Plus, it's the least I could do, for getting you arrested and all." Maura stopped, and Jane halted beside her.
"Are you kidding me, Jane?" Maura laughed. "It was riveting!" Jane smiled as they continued down the sidewalk, and didn't say a word as they reached Maura's driveway and into her backyard. Maura quietly opened the back sliding door and stepped in, allowing Jane to come in with her.
"No," Jane whispered. "I don't think that'd be such a good idea."
"Sleep with me," Maura blurted. She blushed as Jane's eyes widened. "I mean, you never know what kind of creepers are hiding in the dark, waiting to snatch up a pretty girl like me," she mocked. "Or you, for that matter." Jane sighed, and walked quietly up the stairs with Maura. They reached her room, and Jane gasped.
"This is your bedroom?"
"Yes," Maura replied simply.
"This is like the size of my entire house." Maura smiled at the awe-inspiring look on Jane's face as she looked around like a kid in a candy store.
"I better get going," Jane said finally.
"Please don't," Maura said.
"I'm sorry, Maur. I'll come back first thing in the morning." She opened the window and prepared to climb out and down the roof, into the tree that protruded to the house.
"Okay, well..." Maura raised up on her tiptoes and placed a gentle, soft kiss on her cheek. "Thank you for tonight." A heated blush instantly stained both of their cheeks, and Jane turned and went out the window, hoping Maura didn't see.
Maura was about to close the window when a pair of skinny legs stuck in and landed on her bedroom floor, walking up to her and long, slender fingers grabbing her face. They brought her lips to soft, plump ones in a soft, gentle, passionate kiss.
"Maybe spending the night won't be such a bad idea after all," Jane said, gasping for air and smiling as they pulled away.
How amazing was tonight's episode?! AMAZING. I think it was hilarious how, when Casey said "I love you," Jane didn't answer lol. She was just like "Wow. It sounds so weird when we say it to each other," but yet she's considering marrying him, and has no problem telling Maur she loves her.
And you could tell that Maur was absolutely crushed about Casey popping the question. Broke my heart. :(
AND CASEYS GONE
For now -_-
Anyways, don't forget to leave reviews and song name(s)!
