As always, I don't own these lovely ladies, I only borrow to have fun with them!
Jane stands at her closet, running one hand through her unruly curls and the other hand holding a cell phone.
"Maur, what are you wearing tonight?"
"No, don't give me the name of the designer because that doesn't help. Send me a pic."
"Yes, I'm looking through my closet and yes, I still have that little black dress." Jane's eyes shoot over to the dress she has already pulled out and has hanging on the bedroom door.
Jane feels the phone buzz and opens the pic that Maura has sent.
"It's a black dress. Well, how can I tell it's from the blah, blah, oolala new line?" Jane tries to make her raspy voice sound nasal and French. Actually, for once she wasn't impressed with the dress that Maura had picked out. Maybe it would look better on her. The phone gives another buzz and Jane opens up the next picture. Her mouth falls open and it takes her several seconds to put the phone back to her ear.
"Did you really just send me a pic of the underwear you will be wearing? Seriously?"
"Yes, I know I asked what you were , True. Yes, Maur, they match very nicely. I just don't know if I needed to see a black, lace thong. TMI, ya know? TMI Maur - Too Much Information."
Jane starts to roll her shoulders to relieve the tension that is starting to build. She goes to the back of her closet where she finds a couple of hangers covered in plastic.
"Hold on Maura."
Jane pulls off the plastic and sees an outfit that Maura helped her pick out last year for a Christmas party that they ended up not going to due to a murder. It was a deep red, sleeveless, cowl neck, silky top. A pair of black, non-polyester pants were on another hanger.
"I think I'm good, Maur. No, I don't want to go shopping. Really, I think I found something in my closet. I promise that if I change my mind, I will call you. Yes, you are picking up and I'll see you around 7:00. Bye"
Jane looks back and forth between the dress and the slack set. Maura has seen her a few times in the dress and has always complimented how well it looked on her. She runs her hand again through her hair.
"Grrrr, Jo, which one am I going to wear?"
Jo looks up and wags her tail.
"I know I look good in the dress, but Maura has seen it on me. I feel nervous meeting Angela and Jack."
Jane is pacing back and forth, looking between the two choices.
"Let me try this set on, just to make sure it's really a choice, right Jo?"
That's a good idea Mom, let's see what you look like with that on.
Jane yanks off her clothes and pulls on the top. It floats down her arms and clings to her breasts.
The cowl neck fell just so, giving the illusion of more cleavage than Jane really has. She slides on the pants. They look like soft leather. She goes to the mirror and turns around.
"Damn! I look pretty badass if I don't say so myself! What do you think Jo?"
Jo runs around in a circle and wags her tail. Wear that Mom! You look smoking hot!
Jane feels a boost in her confidence. "I bet I can even get away with wearing a pair of 'dress boots' that have some heel, but I won't be worried about falling on my face. Maura and Angela can wear the dresses. Maura did say that I would 'be the guy', right Jo?"
Jo sneezes in agreement.
The day passes quickly and before she knew it, it was time for Jane to shower and get ready.
Jane applies a minimal amount of makeup and fluffs her hair so that it looks like a mass of controlled chaos. She looks through her drawer and found some bangle bracelets to put on for a little bling factor.
"What do you think Jo? Should I make believe these are Wonder Woman's bracelets? Think I'm ready? "
Whatever gets you through the night Mom! You look awesome. You ARE awesome.
Jane feels her phone buzz and reads the text. "Ok, it appears we are riding in style girl. Maura's downstairs in a chauffeured car. I'll see you later Jo."
Jane shrugs on her pea coat and heads out the door. She walks outside and sees the town car. The chauffer opens the back door to allow Jane to slide in. Jane raises an eyebrow.
"Really Maura?"
"Hello Jane. I thought this was a safe option in case there was excessive drinking tonight."
Each woman tried to see past the coats hiding what each other was wearing. Maura was slightly disappointed that she wouldn't be gazing at Jane's legs when she saw that Jane was wearing slacks.
The ladies lightly chatted about their days. Maura tried to relieve Jane's anxiety.
"Angela and Jack will be meeting us at the restaurant. I made reservations for us at Menton's, I believe you will enjoy the meal there. I chose the four-course meal option versus the seven-course chef's-tasting menu."
"Okkkkk, four-course instead of seven-course. Sounds like a plan."
Maura smiles and reaches over to pat Jane's thigh. "It's fine, Jane. They are going to love you and I hope you will like them."
The car pulls up to the restaurant.
Jane nods and blows air out her mouth. Ok, game time. Bring it on.
The chauffeur opens the door and helps Jane out of the car. Jane automatically turns around to reach out a hand to help Maura out. Maura nods to the chauffeur and they enter the restaurant.
They barely make it through the door when they hear a squeal. Maura is engulfed in a hug by Angela. Jane and Jack stand back while the two old friends have their initial reunion. Jane turns to Jack and sticks out her hand. "Hi, I'm Jane."
Jack grins at Jane as he shakes her hand. "Hey, Jack. Pleased to meet you. Ready for tonight?"
Jane raises an eyebrow. "Ready as I'll ever be!" She chuckles.
Jane sees the coat check and shrugs out of her coat to be checked. Jack looks her over. Wow! No wonder Maura wants her!
Jane sees that Maura is unbuttoning her coat, so goes to help her take it off. Angela gets her first full look and impression of Jane. Whoa! Pictures don't do her any justice. What a beauty! And look at that body! She's an Amazon. And look at her help Maura. They are already a couple and they don't realize it. This is going to be sooo much fun!
"Are you going to introduce me to your friend, Maura sweetie."
"Oh, yes, of course! Angela, this is Detective Jane..." Maura turns to Jane and loses her words. Jane. Is. Stunning. The red top was perfect for her tanned skin and showed off her scultped arms to an advantage. The cowl neck dipped to show a hint of cleavage and her slacks molded to her thighs and buttocks.
Jane sticks out her hand now to Angela. "Rizzoli, Jane Rizzoli. Pleasure to meet you Angela."
"The pleasure is all mine Jane."
Jane turns to see why Maura is being so quiet and gets her first good look at the ME. The dress that she thought was, eh, was actually, wow! Yes, it did look much better on than off. The square neckline framed the swell of her breasts and the rest of the dress fit her body as a glove.
Angela saw the two women just stare at each other. She leaned toward Jack and whispered in his ear, "We're going to have so much fun this weekend with these two."
Jack grins and nods. He knows his wife and feels a little sorry for the two women.
They are shown to their table. Menus are brought, meals and beverages ordered. Conversation started slow for Jane and Jack while Maura and Angela got through the first rush of reacquainting information. Wine is served and conversation flows freely. Stories are told of Angela and Jack's courtship, Angela's father, and the joy of little Michael. Maura and Jane share the more humorous moments of the homicide division of the BPD. At one point, Maura reaches over and takes hold of Jane's hand on the table, Jane's hand turns over and holds Maura's hand.
They gaze into each others eyes with gentle smiles on their faces.
A flash goes off.
Jane's hand goes to her waist where there is no weapon.
Maura squeezes Jane's hand. "It's ok Jane, it's only Angela. She has a habit of carrying a camera no matter where she goes and taking candid shots."
Angela shrugs. "What can I say? It's the artist in me. Now, can you two lean together? Hold it, good!"
Jane check her phone and answers a text from her mother. "Ma wants to know if we are having a good time."
"Oooh, let me see that!" Angela grabs Jane's phone and makes a phone call on it. Her phone rings with Jane's number and she adds Jane to her contact list. She then returns a call to Jane's phone and adds herself to Jane's contacts. Jane is sitting there with her mouth open.
"Angela is a bit spontaneous like this, hope you don't mind." Jack pats Jane on the back.
"Uh, no problem."
"Jane, we have to have each other's numbers in case we need to be in contact for Maura, right?"
"Sure?"
They all laugh. Jane excuses herself to go to the restroom. "Wait a minute. Maura, aren't you going with her? Jane, do you want me to come with you?"
Jane arches her eyebrow. "I'm sure I can handle going to the restroom by myself."
Maura smiles. "Jane doesn't go along with the social mores of women needing to pair up to go to the restroom."
As soon as Jane is out of sight, Angela leans over, "Oh my God, sweetie, she's a keeper!"
"Didn't I tell you so, Angela?"
Jack leans back and rolls his eyes. If his opinion is asked for, he'll give it, but it seems the ladies are in agreement.
"OK, ready for part 2 of the night? Please agree to what I suggest, ok? Trust me!"
Maura nods as she sees Jane coming back to the table.
Angela rubs her hands together. "Well, after such a delicious and wonderful meal, I feel the need to work off the pounds I just put on! Let's go dancing! What do you say?"
Jack grins. "Whatever you want, my love."
Maura's eyes are twinkling. "I haven't been dancing in ages!"
Jane slumps in her chair. "I don't dance."
Now it's time for Angela to arch her eyebrow at Jane. "You will tonight, sweetie."
A/N This update should have been up yesterday and longer. This is what I had as of Thursday night. I found I had no heart to write since the horrible tragedy of Newtown School. I promise I will try to update soon and get back to "real time" for the updates. Thank you to everyone.
