Jane stood under the spray of the shower for as long as she possibly could as if somehow the water would melt away the sheer amount of conflicting thoughts all trying to get her attention; would Hoyt catch wind of her presence? Would he come here? What did Maura think about the work ID? What did Maura think about her? Did Maura think about her? The more her thoughts turned to Maura the more she realised she was addicted to the mere thought of her, everything about her intrigued Jane, it always had done but now getting to know her even a little made her even more fascinating and the brunette just wanted to drink it all in. with a determined nod she turned off the shower and took a deep breath, she had an opportunity to get to know Maura and there was nothing else she would rather do right now. To hell with the consequences. She wrapped herself up in the towel blushing as she remembered the earlier encounter and tiptoed over to the door, listening carefully. When she could determine no sounds she opened the door and peeked out. She smiled, Maura had drawn the curtains after Jane's remark earlier and she had laid some clothes out on the bed for her. They looked like workout clothes but Jane shrugged and pulled them on, they were stretchy and so did their job at covering her vitals up although she couldn't help but chuckle as the end of the trousers just kept rising up her legs. She glanced into the mirror and shrugged, she was never going to look glamourous in them but she still ran a self-conscious hand through her dark curls anyway. Once dressed she glances toward the door and padded her way out, the place was huge and just as Jane thought she was getting her bearings and began striding toward the kitchen she heard a soft voice from the opposite direction.

"In here Jane, I have everything set up."

Jane span on her heels to see a sight which gave her butterflies; Maura Isles in yoga pants and a tank top with her hair flowing down her shoulders holding two perfect looking margheritas. "Those look good. I am thirsty!"

Maura watched as a smile stretched across the brunettes face and she came bounding over, she also couldn't help but notice that her top was riding up with the movement and there were what looked like perfect abs peeking out Maura gulped; she was suddenly thirsty too.

Jane pouted as Maura danced away from her moving the glass out of reach.

"Hey!"

Maura narrowed her eyes and studied her patient. "Headache?"

"Nope."

"Nausea?"

"uh-uh."

"Dizziness?"

Jane shook her head.

"Confusion?"

"Confused as to why you are teasing me with margheritas!"

Maura gave a small smile. "You are in my care. It is irresponsible to be drinking so soon after a head injury."

Jane closed the gap between them and placed her hands on the shorter woman's shoulders. "I am fine. You are taking care of me, this is the best recovery a girl could ask for." When her goofy grin wasn't returned Jane set her serious face "I promise Maur, I'm ok."

Maura studied those chocolate eyes so intently for any wavering, any uncertainty and got nothing. She nodded and reluctantly handed over the glass but couldn't contain her smile when Jane clinked their glasses together and bounced over to the huge couch.

"So. Grease!" Jane grinned as she picked up the TV remote without asking and began to load up the movie store.

Maura sipped her drink and watched the TV "Musicals?"

Jane laughed heartily. "Just trust me."

For some reason Maura did trust her and the realisation of that warmed her heart a little. "Grease 2?"

Jane shook her head, "Nope. Believe me when I say nope. I wouldn't want to inflict that on you, Grease is probably going to be bad enough." She looked over to see the uncertainty "No, I mean, it's great, it's just random I guess…I'm not selling this…" she moved a little closer to Maura on the huge couch and motioned excitedly with her hands "Its cheesy and its bad, but that's why it's so good! Grease 2 on the other hand is just…bad…I mean Michelle Pfeiffer is great, and incredibly hot…or at least she was when I watched it…maybe it's' just fond memories, rose tinted glasses and all that…"

Jane didn't seem to have noticed she had wandered off on a tangent and resumed her purchase of the movie whilst Maura pondered Michelle Pfeiffer and Jan's comments but before she could make sense of her thoughts an incredibly cheesy romantic song started to play against waves crashing on rocks and a couple running along a beach.

Jane could feel the unconvinced gaze of Maura boring into the side of her face, she put the remote down out of reach and scooted herself back on the couch, reached out with her left hand and simply lifted the bottom of Maura's glass as she raised her own to her lips and settled back with a content sigh as Maura copied her actions.

Maura settled back into the cushions dutifully sipping her drink as Jane settled backwards and got herself comfortable. As Maura was trying her best to pay attention to the film she couldn't help but notice their proximity, Jane's hand had now fallen from her glass and was mere inches away from her thigh, as if Jane could read her mind her fingers flexed as Maura watched them and she gulped a little as her eyes went back to the screen and the couple were kissing.

Jane sipped her drink and felt her muscles relaxing back into the incredibly comfortable sofa, she could have happily fallen asleep and in fact her eyes were closing when she heard a derisive snort come from the woman next to her. She half turned her head "What?"

"Did he just try- "Maura's question was cut off by blaring music and she jumped, spilling her drink on her thigh. "Oh shoot!"

Jane laughed and held her hand up to stop Maura from getting up. She put her drink down and went to fetch a towel.

Maura watched as Jane got up and moved toward the kitchen and she grinned; the brunette was bopping along to the theme music from the film and it was positively adorable. It wasn't until she came back in with a towel that Maura heard the faint whispers of her singing along with the song and Maura couldn't wipe the smile from her face. Her smile grew even bigger as Jane sat back down in the exact same spot; no farther away and handed her the towel whilst whipping out the margherita mix Maura had made and put into the fridge for later.

"Now we only need to move for peeing and pizza!"

"Pizza?"

Jane grinned and Maura shook her head helplessly, it would appear that despite having the physique of an athlete Jane certainly didn't eat like one. The women settled down as the movie began in earnest and both felt utterly blissful.

Jane couldn't decide if she was annoyed, entertained or whether she found Maura more adorable with every sip of drink and comment that came out of her mouth. It was a silly movie; Jane knew that but Maura had to pick out every single flaw within it;

"How did Sandy get to be on the cheerleading squad, she can't even do a cartwheel!"

"Why are they being mean to Sandy? She hasn't done anything wrong…well other than fall for Danny. I don't' understand why she likes him, he's clearly fake and a bully."

"Why do they have to sing everything?"

Maura was confused. There was a lot going on in amongst the songs and not much of it really made sense to her and though she could see Jane huffing at some of her comments, the more she drank the more she was powerless to resist them;

"Why is Frenchie hallucinating? Is she hallucinating? Is she dead?"

"Jane? Is this what school dances are like?"

Jane suddenly sat up, paused the movie and turned to Maura who during the course of the film must have moved closer as they were almost nose to nose. "Maur…have you never been to a school dance?"

Maura nodded, the brunette was very close and she could feel her breath on her face.

"How is that even possible?"

"I went to boarding school…"

Jane paused for a moment considering the sadness behind that statement. "I didn't go to mine."

"Why?"

"No one wanted to go with me."

Maura sat bolt upright, spilling her drink but not caring anymore. "What?"

Jane shrugged "No one wanted to go with me."

"How is that even possible? Look at you, you're beautiful!"

Both women blushed but neither of them could break the gaze they were in.

"They called me Roly Poly Rizzoli."

Maura's hand immediately cupped the brunette's face and her eyes swam with sympathy.

"I was pretty chubby."

Maura's face hardened and she shook her head. "Jane Rizzoli. I may not have known you but I promise you this, you are beautiful and you have always been beautiful and if you had been at my school. No wait, if I had been at your school I would have asked you to the dance."

"But we're both girls…"

"I don't care. Jane Rizzoli?"

"Yes?"

"Will you go to the dance with me?"

Jane just beamed. She couldn't think of anything in that moment that would make her happier and she simply nodded and relaxed back next to Maura and absentmindedly picked up her hand and held it.

Maura's heartbeat was in her ears, usually she would blame it on the alcohol but even in her slightly inebriated state she knew it was the skin to skin contact Jane was giving her. The film started again and she tried to distract herself;

"Why is that girl being dragged across the floor?"

"That was the weirdest dance off ever."

"Is Rizzo pregnant?"

"What is going on Jane?"

"Wow."

That last statement was accompanied by wide eyes at Sandy's transformation, and yet she wasn't really seeing Sandy. She had thick dark unruly curls, darker skin. Maura was somewhat lost in her fantasy when Jane chose that moment to look round at her.

Maura's pupils were huge. Jane felt slightly giddy and wished she could just blame the cocktails but Maura was squeezing her hand and something felt very intense between them.

Jane was looking at her lips. Intently. So hard that Maura felt the overwhelming urge to lick her lips but as she did she could feel herself shaking and unusually self-confident.

Her lip was swept up and caught between her teeth after being swiped by a delicate pink tongue and now her lips were red, glistening and all Jane could focus on. She felt like they were getting closer and the brunette had no idea if she was leaning in, if Maura was or whether it was combination of the two but she didn't care, she watched as the hazel eyes fluttered shut and her own followed suit.

Maura let go. It wasn't often it happened, in fact she couldn't remember a time in her adult life so far where she let go and allowed herself to feel what she felt but this moment had to be experienced or she would regret it forever, she closed her eyes hoping it would make it easier but it just felt like it took forever and she wondered if she had misread the signs but she felt Jane's soft breath and it coaxed her lips to part just slightly and her brain melted as she awaited certain bliss.

yes I am a tease. I know. I'm easing myself back into the swing of things. Hoping this mini update and surge of inspiration isn't a blip. Life is a tough one we all know that trying to not let myou writing suffer if I can help it.

If ur still out there stick with me. We can do this
