"I'm going to miss you." Maura admitted to JJ as they drove to the airport. Their time together had flown by and now it was time for JJ to go back home.
"Me too." JJ replied sadly. "We'll see each other soon though, I promise." JJ said bringing Maura's free hand up to gently kiss the back of it making Maura blush slightly.
"You've got my details?" Maura asked again, for what felt like the hundredth time.
JJ chuckled. "Yes, I've got them in my pocket and in my go-bag." JJ assured Maura, they had exchanged phone numbers, Skype details and email addresses. "I won't lose them... I don't want to miss out on Skype sex." JJ added with a cheeky grin, wiggling her eyebrows playfully.
Maura rolled her eyes. "I just want to be thorough." Maura justified herself.
"Ok." JJ held her hand up in mock defence. "Or you're just paranoid." JJ teased her girlfriend.
Maura just shook her head with a smirk on her face.
"You can just drop me off." JJ said as she spotted the sign for Logan International Airport. "Parking will be a nightmare."
Maura frowned slightly. "Are you sure?" Maura had wanted to go into the airport with her girlfriend but she could see JJ's logic, the parking areas looked very hectic.
"Yeah, there's a drop off zone up ahead." JJ pointed out to Maura.
JJ reached behind her into the backseat to grab her go bag as Maura pulled up at the drop off zone.
Maura pulled JJ to her as closely as the limited space in the car would allow, pressing her lips to JJ's firmly, as JJ kissed back passionately.
They both savoured every second of the kiss, before pulling away resting their foreheads against each other's.
"I should go." JJ said quietly.
Maura just nodded in agreement. "I love you."
"I love you too." JJ said before giving Maura another quick kiss. "I'll see you soon, ok? I promise." JJ assured her girlfriend.
"You should go because it is becoming more and more tempting to lock you in this car and take you back to my house." Maura smirked.
"Well, I wouldn't complain." JJ smirked back. "I'll phone you when I arrive home." JJ said as she opened the car door giving Maura's hand a squeeze. "See you later, Maura."
"Bye Jay, have a safe flight." Maura replied with a teary-eyed smile as she watched JJ disappear into the airport.
JJ closed the door behind her as she entered her apartment, dropping her go-bag on the floor. She pulled out her phone from her pocket and rang her girlfriend's number as she walked further into the apartment.
"Dr. Isles." Maura answered.
JJ smiled immediately at the sound of Maura's voice. "Hey baby, it's just me, that's me home." JJ said down the phone, an odd feeling passed through her as she walked through into the lounge and kitchen.
Maura's smile mirrored JJ's on the other end of the phone when she realised who was calling. "Hey, how was your flight?" Maura asked.
"Not as good as the jet." JJ chuckled. "I miss you already." JJ admitted quietly. "I'm in my apartment and I just keep expecting to see you…is that stupid?" JJ said with a small groan of embarrassment.
"No, of course not, I've been doing the same thing since you left." Maura said relating to JJ's mind-set. She had to admit, it was a nice feeling to know she was missed, she had never really experienced it before. "I ended up organising a flight for six weeks' time." Maura rushed out, wondering if she had made a mistake not telling JJ before she arranged it.
"Uh what?" JJ asked, stunned.
Maura interpreted JJ's vague reply as a negative. "I'm sorry, I knew I should have spoken to you about it first but I knew the jet was available and I wanted to book it in case-"
"Woah, Maura slow down." JJ halted her girlfriends worried rambling. "I'm not mad, I'm beyond excited, I just wasn't expecting it." JJ explained.
Maura blushed at her own antics.
"So tell me how this came about." JJ grinned down the phone and Maura could sense JJ's genuine excitement.
"Well, my Mother called and I found out that our private family jet is available in six weeks' time and she said neither her or my Father were using it for a week but a lot of other family members use the jet as well so it might not be available for long so I took the opportunity and scheduled the flight for myself." Maura explained, more composed this time.
"That's great Maur, I can't wait." JJ replied excitedly. "But you know I could have a case at any time." JJ told Maura tentatively, she didn't want to dampen the mood.
"I know, but I figured if I come for a whole week you'll likely be home at some point." Maura said more than a little proud of herself.
"Looks like you've thought of everything, you're a very smart woman Dr. Isles." JJ smirked, internally glad that Maura didn't seem the slightest bit annoyed that she'll probably have a case, she was just understanding, it was rare for JJ to find that in any of her relationships.
"All I have to do is book a hotel and that's it all sorted." Maura told JJ.
"No way Maura, you're staying at my place…if you want to that is." JJ added not wanting to force Maura if she didn't want to.
"I would love that, it just hadn't occurred to me for some reason." Maura said, suddenly thrilled at the prospect of staying at JJ's for a whole week.
"Great." JJ beamed. "This is going to be a long six weeks." She groaned as Maura murmured her agreement and they both began their countdown until they saw each other again.
