A short one to keep you going until some excitement this weekend!

Remember – I don't own any of these characters, but love to borrow and have fun in my AU.

Tuesday Morning

Maura sat at her desk in her office. She was busy at her computer comparing the results of the trace evidence she found on their latest murder victim. She hears her cell phone buzzing and sees that it is her friend, Angela calling.

"Good morning Angela, what a nice surprise."

"Hi Honey. I've been thinking about you and wanted to check in. How's that plan of yours going?"

Maura sighs and she sits back in her chair.

"I just don't know Angela. Studying her and watching her facial features, skin tones and pupil dilation, all point to the fact that she is attracted to me, but she literally runs away from it. I mean, Jane already has a spectacular body, but between the running and the bag work she's been doing, I can only imagine the muscle tone she is attaining.

Angela chuckles. "Listen Maura, just imagine the stamina she is building up for when you finally get her in bed! It's sounds as though she's trying to work through a lot of sexual frustration there."

Maura grins into the phone. "I may be the cause of that frustration. Angela, please understand that I love Jane, she's not going to be a sex toy for me to play with and discard."

"Oh, I know that honey. So, we have to wake up Ms. Jane, don't we. Hmm. Not a problem. Jack and I are coming up for the weekend. Dad wants to have some bonding time with his grandson, so he's kicking us out."

"I love your father Angela. He's so sweet."

"Right. Tell that to Jack. Keep Saturday night and Sunday open sweetie. You AND Jane. I've got plans to make."

"Should I be worried Angela?" Maura is laughing.

"Doll, you know me, you know you should be VERY worried!. Love ya, hon, See you Saturday!"

"I'm looking forward to Saturday. Travel safely Angela. Bye."

Maura hung up and sat pondering in her chair. If she knew Angela, poor Jane was going to be in for quite a weekend. Jane was being skittish enough lately, time for a little TLC. Maura grabs her purse and heads out of her office, she knew exactly what she was going to do.

Line

Maura walks into homicide carrying two bags. Jane and Barry are at the board with Jane pointing at something in one of the crime scene photos. Vince is at his desk, sharing his theories with the two younger detectives. He is the first one to spot Maura.

"Hey, Doc. Let me help you with those bags! What do you have in here?"

Jane and Frost stop what they are doing to gather around the bags.

"Thank you Vince."

Maura starts to hand out some waters and granola bars.

"I've brought some water for you all. You need to stay hydrated when you are on a case and you need to supplement your coffee intake. I also have brought over some snack bars because I know you also miss meals."

Maura reaches one more time into the bag and gives Jane a look with a raised eyebrow. "Jane, did you eat breakfast this morning?"

Jane clears her throat and hangs her head slightly. "Uh, not really. Things were a little busy, so I grabbed a coffee and came straight in."

"Jane, your voice is raspier than usual, drink this water and eat this." Maura hands her a chocolate chip chocolate muffin.

Jane's eyes pop out of her head. "Wow, really Maur? That doesn't look exactly healthy and you're giving it to me?"

"Truthfully, Jane, I didn't want to fight with you and I knew I could get you to eat this. Better this muffin, than nothing."

Maura moves closer to Jane and puts her hand on Jane's forearm. "You know I ... worry about you Jane."

Jane looks suspiciously at Maura, waiting for the innuendo that Maura has been sending out lately. Nothing, just a normal, caring, Maura look.

"Thank you, Maura. What, you're not going to ask me what color underwear you're wearing today?" Oh, shit. I did NOT just ask that. Just when is was going so nice and quiet, what the hell is wrong with me!

Maura blinked and then smiled sweetly at Jane. My, my, my, Jane! Have I gotten you addicted to our little game? "Well, yes, of course you can guess. I'll even give you a hint and say there are no patterns today."

Whew, still ok. Let's see, what is that white called? Winter white? Cream? She wouldn't be wearing boring white, no, not Maura Isles. If it's going to be a plain color, I bet it lacy or something. Jane feels her mouth going dry with her thoughts and she clears her throat.

"Um, I would say something close to cream and probably lacey." Jane's voice was raspier than usual and she reached for her water bottle.

Oh, she's much too casual... I was going to be nice and back off a little, but she's asked for it!

"Very good, Jane! I'm impressed! Let me just add that my panties are a thong. See? Fewer panty lines that way." Maura turns and runs her hand down her buttock and winks at Jane.

Jane SPEWS water as she starts coughing. Maura comes over and starts hitting her back, smirking behind Jane's back.

"Jane! You all right?" Frost yells over.

Jane holds out her hand, still coughing. "Water. Wrong tube." Stupid me. I so asked for that.

This popped up because I missed writing about them! Hope you are all have a good week! Thank you for the wonderful reviews and PMs. You are the best!
