Chapter 12 - Progress

After a few moments of silence, the brunette barely heard Maura's whisper.

"Jane, will you hold me?"

The young Italian lifted her gaze up towards those hazel green eyes, not realising she had been staring at their joined hands in her lap since she finished her story, and flashed her award-winning smile.

"You never need to ask me Maura. I would love to hold you."

The honey-blonde repositioned herself, with her head was resting against Jane's chest and the Italian's muscular arms wrapped snugly around her waist. The soft sound of Jane's heart beat was oddly soothing for the older woman and she sighed happily into the embrace. The two women lay there for what felt like an eternity, completely content in each other's arms, until a familiar noise made them both jump.

HEY MAMA

THIS THAT BEAT THAT MAKE YOU GROOVE MAMA

"Shit." Jane muttered, reading the called ID on her phone screen.

Ma

"Hey Ma," she tried to say as nonchalantly as possible, knowing the scream that would probably follow down the line.

"JANE CLEMENTINE RIZZOLI, would you like to explain why it's nearly 9pm and you haven't called?"

Oh, crap was that the time?

"Ma, honestly I'm so sorry. Time just… got away from me."

Maura tried to hide her smile when she heard the excuse tumble from the brunette's mouth, however she realised it was far past the time she should have let Jane go home. She made a mental note to ask about that particular ringtone choice (and Clementine) later.

"Your curfew is in 20 minutes young lady, Frankie said you were with Frost? Is he going to drop you home or should I send your father to pick you up?"

"NO! erm, sorry Ma, I mean, Frost will drop me off. Don't bother Pop, he's probably too busy watching the game, right? I'll just get my things together now and be home soon."

"Okay sweetie, I love you, tell Frost to drive safe."

"Yeah Ma I will, love you."

The brunette sighed in frustration as she ended the call, taking Maura's hand back into hers.

"This isn't going to be easy is it? I mean, I'm already lying about where I am."

Maura squeezed her hand gently, "No mi amor, but if you really want this, it's something we both have to do, at least until you graduate in the summer."

"I do really want this. I want you. I just… you'll always understand, right?"

"Understand? What do you mean Jane?" Hazel eyes sparkled lovingly back at Jane, before the Italian continued.

"Like… if my Ma gets too suspicious, or if it gets difficult to see each other. You won't pull away or get angry, right? I don't think I could handle that." Not again.

Sensing the battle that was raging inside the younger woman's head at some unpleasant memories. Maura leaned forward and captured her lips tenderly.

"Jane, I am not Riley. Yes, we are hiding, but nothing will make me pull away from you, unless that's what you have chosen to do, okay mi amor?"

Leaning forward slightly, Jane revelled in feeling Maura's hot breath against hers.

"I love it when you call me that."

Closing the gap so they were less than a millimetre apart, Maura sent Jane into meltdown as she husked against her lips.

"You should hear what else I can call you…"

Maura's tongue darted out and licked the length of the Italian's, causing her to moan in frustration.

"However, as you have to go. I suggest you pick up your things and sígueme."

As the doctor headed towards her large front door, she picked up her car keys and slid her feet into a pair of red heels. Jane assumed she had asked her to follow, I really need to start paying attention in Spanish class, she thought as she threw on her hoodie and grabbed her phone, taking care to close the front door carefully as Jane followed her sexy girlfriend into the cold night air.

*ping*

How was your mother with you, my love?

Jane had been in her room for about ten minutes after a short, yet heated, conversation with her mother. She smiled at the thoughtfulness of the message, it was nothing like Riley would have ever sent her.

Hey, she was annoyed but okay. I told her Frost was having 'girl trouble' which kind of threw her off the scent. But she did start asking if I was dating too…

*ping*

Oh? And what did you say?

Jane paused before replying, sitting back on her bed and starting to unbutton her shirt.

I said… that there was someone I liked, a lot. But, I wasn't ready to talk about it with her yet.

*ping*

I think that was sensible mi amor... So… you like me, a lot?

Smiling, Jane had an idea about how to get revenge on Maura for turning her on earlier. She finished unbuttoning her shirt and removed her white tank top that was underneath. Her nimble fingers working to open the fly on her jeans so her underwear band could be seen.

Jane took a photo, typed a message, took a deep breath and clicked send.

Across town, Maura's phone pinged instantly in her hand and she unlocked it within seconds, eager to see Jane's reply. At once, her mouth watered at the sight before her. The photo was dark, but Maura could see the outline of Jane's abs, her jeans unbuttoned and her left hand buried beneath her underwear. Then Maura drew her eyes to the caption below:

You still need to feel just how much I like you. I'm imagining you're touching me right now, and God It feels so good Maura.

Clamping her thighs together as she felt her wetness ruin her expensive underwear, the older woman sighed to herself, "You will be the death of me Jane Rizzoli", Maura then mirrored the younger girls actions as she lay back on her bed, her right hand snaking beneath dainty red lace.

You should feel how much I like you in return, Miss Rizzoli

Both women felt the pleasure roll in waves through their bodies again and again. Only imagining the euphoria of actually touching each other like this.

As Maura's body relaxed into her mattress, her thoughts returned to earlier that evening. The conversation that passed between the two women seemed to bring a sense of relief to them both, particularly about what they were committed to starting with one another. Over the coming weeks, both women knew their first obstacle was to figure out a new routine in which to get to know each other. Unfortunately for Jane, Maura had insisted no matter how much they wanted 'it', no matter how good it felt to be pressed up against one another, no matter how good it felt when their tongues were battling for dominance… they had to wait until Jane was officially a legal adult. Luckily, for the horny teenager, Jane's eighteenth was only two weeks away.

*ping*

*ping*

Mmph, Maura… early… no…

*ping*

*ping*

*ping*

It's cute… like you. Now shower please, personal hygiene is very important to me.

*ping*

Hygiene schmigiene… too… damn… early.

*ping*

I've been up since 5am doing yoga. 8am is a perfectly reasonable time.

*ping*

Yoga huh? Practicing different positions are we Doctor Isles?

*ping*

Oh good, you're awake see you soon xx

*ping*

Dammit woman, I'm getting in the shower. HAPPY?

*ping*

Very… only 13 days to go

Jane groaned in frustration at the thought of having to walk around with a constant fire between her thighs for the next two weeks. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, she thought as she entered the bathroom (thankfully before either of her brothers were awake) and pressed play on the radio app on her phone. The familiar beats were soon echoing around the tiled bathroom walls, causing her youngest brother to bang on the wall to tell her to turn it down.

"Sorry squirt, at least you're awake for school!"

She chuckled as she could hear him whine through the thin walls that he would 'make her pay for it later'. Running her long fingers through the water and deciding it was finally the right temperature, Jane removed her fitted white t-shirt and black basketball shorts placing them next to her blue towel which was draped lazily over the radiator. Submerging herself in the blissfully hot water, Jane reached over to her lavender shampoo, wanting to look her best for the doctor. Maura. She could feel her wetness already pooling between her thighs and knew there was only one thing for it. Her left hand snaked downwards and slid immediately between slick folds. Shit, she moaned, knowing she had about three minutes before her brothers were banging on the door for their turn. Quickening her pace on her throbbing clit, Jane used her right hand to dip two fingers deeper into delicious wetness. As she felt the waves build within her, Jane tried to keep her moans low enough that they weren't heard over the sound of the current song playing on the radio. Taking a deep breath, Jane steadied her legs and reached for her towel, the second it was wrapped around her torso, the bathroom door burst open and in tumbled her two brothers, fighting over who would shower next.

"Jesus Christ! I could have been naked!" the brunette snarled, pushing past her idiotic brothers.

"EW!" Tommy shouted, rubbing his eyes as if to erase the memory he didn't actually see.

"HA!" Frankie shouted from the other side of the door, taking his brother's distraction as an opportunity to lock the bathroom door.

"Brothers." Jane muttered, as she walked back to her room, shutting out the sounds of Tommy banging on the bathroom door with thoughts about what outfit would make the doc swoon the most. She decided on a fitted RedSox baseball t-shirt and skinny black denim shorts, finished off with her newly bought red and white vans.

15 minutes later, the brunette and her wild curls bounced down the stairs as she took a seat on the wooden bar stool in the kitchen. Not noticing the bemused expression her mother wore.

"Janie are you humming? What's put you in a good mood?" she asked surprised at the change in young woman before her.

"Nothing, just another beautiful day." Jane replied with a smile, taking a bite out of her bunny shaped pancake and drinking a sip of orange juice.

"And did you wash your hair? On a school morning?... Okay, who is she?"

Jane almost choked at the use of the female pronoun so openly.

"Ma!"

"Relax Janie, your father isn't here and your brothers have selective hearing."

"She's… hey no, I'm not falling for it. I'll take my bunny to go. Love you." The brunette stood up in fake annoyance, taking her half-eaten bunny in one hand and her backpack in the other. As she turned to leave, she heard her Ma plead behind her.

"You can't even tell me anything? One tiny little detail?"

Jane stopped and turned to face her Ma, a smile playing on the corners of her lips.

"She's… beautiful."

As the front door slammed shut, Angela couldn't contain the huge smile that reached her eyes, hearing her daughter talk about someone so special. It also made the matriarch wonder what had happened to the previous girl Jane liked, the one that had broken her heart last summer. Angela thought back to when she had asked for one detail about her, and Jane had replied, 'their eyes are brown'.

Quite a difference, Angela thought to herself, as she continued to hum the same song Jane had started, before reaching the bottom of the stairs.

"TOMMY, FRANKIE, YOU HAVE 2 MINUTES BEFORE THESE PANCAKES ARE IN THE BIN!" she bellowed before continuing to hum. Angela turned back to the pancake mixture on the hob, wondering when she would finally get to meet this mystery girl who had captured Jane's heart.

"Hey," a familiar voice whispered, as Maura felt two arms encircling her from behind, she moaned into the light kisses on her neck before gently pushing her young lover away with her curvaceous ass…

"Hey yourself," she replied, pecking the young brunette on the lips, "you know we have to be careful. It's early, but the school isn't completely empty Jane, anyone could have walked in."

"I knowwww," Jane replied, sitting on Maura's neat and tidy desk, "but I can't help it when you wear things like that!" she gesticulated at the particularly tight- fitting emerald dress the doctor was wearing.

"Things like what sweetie?" Maura smirked, knowing full well what this dress had done to Jane on previous appearances.

"Like, the way it clings to your boobs and ass… how is that legal for you to wear that around teenagers?! Oh god…" The brunette stopped suddenly, looking horrified.

"What?"

"No, you need to go get changed. Or wear your lab jacket, all day. Or… aha!" Jane pulled her football jacket out of her bag and held it out to the older woman.

"As sweet as it is that you've giving me your jacket mi amor, I think it would raise more eyebrows than my dress would. Besides, you're giving your classmates far too much credit, they barely register anything going on around them."

"Yeah I suppose, just don't bend over today okay? Unless it's last lesson when I've got the prime seat." Jane wiggled her eyebrows suggestively, causing Maura to laugh loudly.

"What's so funny Doctor Isles?" Came an unwanted voice from the doorway that removed both women's smiles completely. Riley Cooper stood there in her gym gear, a sheen of sweat covering her muscles, who had clearly heard Maura laughing from the corridor.

"Miss Rizzoli," Riley greeted suspiciously, "you're in school rather early today? Nothing better to do than annoy your teachers?"

"Oh haha, I'm hardly annoying Doctor Isles, am I doc?" Jane smiled sweetly towards the honey-blonde, wanting her to say something sans innuendo.

"You're definitely not annoying me, Miss Rizzoli." Maura managed to reply, annunciating every syllable in Jane's name, causing the younger woman to blush involuntarily.

"Well since you're here Rizzoli, you can help me set up for that extra training we agreed on. Come on." Riley turned and walked down the corridor with a smirk on her face, knowing full well what she had interrupted.

"Fuck." Jane whispered, completely forgetting Riley had made it compulsory for her to attend extra training on a morning.

"I'm sorry, extra training?" Maura asked, trying not to sound too jealous.

"I didn't think to tell you because I didn't think she'd actually go through with it Maur… she was pissed at me, again, the other day and made it compulsory I got to extra sessions every morning."

"Wait, you're the only one going?"

"Yeah, she said it's punishment for not taking training seriously."

"Jane Rizzoli, your ex-girlfriend who is extremely jealous of how close you and I are, has made it compulsory for you to attend 1:1 training EVERY morning? And… you're smiling?"

"I'm smiling at how cute you are when you're jealous."

"I am not. I just… don't like our already short time being interrupted."

"I know… but I think I'd best go, you know, avoid suspicion."

With a sad smile, Maura replied, "Okay mi amor, I shall see you shortly."

Soft lips pressed tenderly against her own.

"I will see you very soon, I am yours, please don't be jealous."

With a wink, Jane Rizzoli picked up her backpack and left the room heading for the gym. Maura turned back to the papers she still needed to photocopy for the day ahead, wondering how on Earth she was going to cope with Riley Cooper lurking in every corner of hers and Jane's relationship.

A knock at the door broke Maura out of her thoughts, she lifted her eyes up curiously and saw someone unexpected.

"I'm getting some coffee, would you like one Doctor Isles?"

The voice was that of one of the English teachers Maura had started to become friendly with over the past few weeks. But it was the first time she had come to Maura's classroom. The woman in question was a dazzling brunette in her mid-30s, who wore scarlet red lipstick that contrasted beautifully with her olive skin and dark features.

"I'd love that Miss Mills, but only if you call me Maura."

"Then Maura, you should call me Regina. I'll put the kettle on, meet you in the staff room in 5?"

"I'll be right behind you."

The brunette smiled and turned to leave, the sound of her heels tapping on the wooden floors growing quieter as she left Maura to her thoughts.

"A friend, a girlfriend and a jealous ex-girlfriend. What a term this is shaping up to be."

Well it's been a while! and yes that is the beautiful Regina Mills from OUAT. Again just stating I don't own the characters, just using them to let my creativity flow.

A massive thank you to everyone who leaves lovely reviews as well, it really does inspire me to keep writing. I'm officially in my Easter Holidays now so fingers crossed I can publish a lot more! Enjoy xx
