The usual: I don't own (wish I did), but only borrow to have some fun!
Jane sits on her couch on Saturday morning holding her cell phone. She scrolls through the contacts until she finds the name she wants. She begins to type a text.
Puts the phone down.
Gets up, goes to the kitchen for some water.
Back to the couch. Picks up the phone.
Puts the phone back down. Deep breath.
Picks up the phone and finishes the text:
Jane: Hey Angela, it's Jane
She doesn't have to wait long for her phone to buzz.
Angela: Hey Jane sweetie. Miss me already? lol
Jane rolls her eyes.
Jane: Of course. lol ty for sending me that pic
Angeala: NP What are you going to do with it?
Jane: I put it in an ornament with 2012 on it
Angela: nice What do I owe the pleasure of this text?
Jane takes a deep breath again. Don't be a chickenshit Rizzoli. You can only find so much information on google, ask someone who knows!
Jane: Can I ask you as question?
Angela: Sure. Ask away
Jane: Can you tell me more about pansexuality?
The phone doesn't buzz back as quickly as before.
Angela: You sure you don't want to call and we actually talk?
Jane: NO! Texting is fine
Down in DC, Angela is chuckling.
Jack looks over to his wife. "What's up babe?"
"Jane is texting and asking about sex, well, about pansexuality. She doesn't want to talk, only text. Our favorite detective gets embarrassed talking about sex. It's kinda cute."
"Be nice to her Angela."
"Jack! Of course. I will do my best to enlighten her."
Angela: Ok, what do you want to know?
Jane: What's the differnece between that and bi-sexuality?
Angela: Ok. Imagine you are at a big Christmas party. Family, friends, co-workers and some strangers are there.
Angela: A typical heterosexual woman is there and she checks out ever single male as potential husband material
Jane snorts as she reads her phone. "Sounds about right."
Angela: She sees other single women as competion, even friends, even though she loves them. She loves her family.
Angela: Now. Bi. She's at the party and she's checking out the males and females as potential mates, but that doesn't mean that they lust after everyone, ok? She can have male and females that are JUST friends. got me so far?
Jane: Yes. Easy enough so far.
Angela: Pansexuals - more delicate to describe. Do you know what a dowsing rod is?
Jane: Like in movies? Y sitck to find water?
Angela: Yes. Think of that or magnets. So pansexual at same party. Sees family - family love, sees friends - friend love. Some friends deeper love than others
Angela - Romantic love? That's when you think of the magnet or dowsing rod. They may feel a deeper draw/love to someone and it doesn't matter if they are male/female or that person you aren't sure if it's a man or woman.
Angela - They are NOT attracted to everyone, but can be to anyone. Understand the differnece?
Jane: I think so. At least better understanding than before
Jane: Thanks for everything Angela
Angela: Anytime darlin
Jane sits and thinks about what Angela has texted. Levels of love. She has had female friends before, ok, not that many, but she never felt the love that she feels for the ME. The question keeps going back to 3 simple questions:
Am I willing to risk this friendship for something more?
Can she feel the same about me?
Am I worthy of her?
And one simple fact: I have NO clue what I'm doing.
Where's my friend google?
'How to Flirt with a girl' - Fractionation Seduction - what the hell is that? Oh, hell no, I'm not clicking on any videos and get a virus.
-Do not try too hard - Ok
-Take care of your looks - hmmm, maybe a new outfit for Christmas
-Choose a good scent - I think she likes the scent I wear, she tells me I smell good
-Sense of humor - Don't know if sarcasm is considered humor. Ok, I can TRY work on that
-Eye contact - Don't have to work on that. Totally love to look into her eyes.
Let's be brave and type in Lesbian into that search
-Find out if she is bi/lesbian
-Be subtle - compliment her
-Not so subtle - physical, more touching/hugging
-Be genuine
-Let her know you are lesbian/bi-sexual
-Sleepovers are great for snuggletime
That's a start…. Maura says she is pansexual, so I have a chance, if I am willing to chance our friendship for something more. Like my relationships ever work out. Sigh
Jane's phone buzzes.
Angela: Still there?
Jane: Ya
Angela: I want you to watch something. I think it fits. Go to youtube. Type in Xena and Gabrielle and Eternal Flame. Watch video
Jane actually went on her computer to do as Angela asked. After watching the video, her mouth dropped open.
I watched that show. How did I not see that? That could totally fit Maura and myself.
Jane looks at the phone. Thinks for a moment and begins to type.
Jane: Are you trying to tell me something?
Angela: I think I know what you are thinking
Jane: Ya?
Angela: Does it involve a certain honey blonde ME?
Jane: Maybe
Angela: I'll kick your ass if you screw up
Jane: I'll keep that in mind
"Well Jo, I think I may be in trouble and I haven't done anything yet. I have the Christmas ornament with our pictures in it. Maybe I should pick up something else. But one website said 'don't try to bribe her.' Jo, this is so confusing!"
Jo licks Jane's hand. Poor Mom. You're gonna do fine. Go for it Mom!
A short little update. Someone said that I made a step back. Maybe I did. One reason is because I have some fun things planned next week. I don't want this to end yet, and character development. Yes, this Jane started to recognize earlier that she was physically attracted to Maura and that would freak her out. Now let's take it a step farther and have Jane acknowledge her FEELINGS. We all know how Jane reacts to emotions.
Anyhow! Thank you! I love the reviews! They make me laugh and to feel warm fuzzies! You all are so awesome! I hope another update tomorrow! Happy reading!
