Chapter 2: Movie Night

"Why thank you, Detective?" I respond back with a sultry tone as I look at her. I hear her clear her throat and tighten her grip on the steering wheel. Yes, this will be much easier than I thought.

Jane POV:

We make our way driving home and my head is spinning. I could have sworn Maura has been flirting with me all day but at the same time it could also be wishful thinking. She always looks so good and is so nice to everyone so maybe I am reading too much into things. I push her garage button as we pull up the driveway. Once the car is parked safely in the garage, she goes to unlock the house as I told her I would grab the items from the trunk. It was really because I needed to steady my breathing and regain composure, she always knows when something is wrong so I don't want her to realize that I get turned on by her until she knows how I feel. If she ever knows how I feel.

I make my way to the kitchen and ask, "Hey where would you like me to put your purchase? And my bag is going where?" She had recently been doing some remodeling in the spare bedroom so I'll probably either sleep in her bed or on the couch. Usually we fall asleep in her room, on her bed anyway, Tonight might be different because if she keeps this up I might sleep in a different room.

"You can put it all in my room. I didn't get a chance to finish the spare bedroom yet so we will be sleeping in my room as usual but as for your stuff you can either hang it up in the closet or the bottom drawer of the dresser I cleaned out for you awhile ago."

"Okay thanks." I take off my boots and pad through her house to put the stuff away. I notice all the neutral colors as I walk through.

As I come back out I hear her on the phone ordering dinner so I take the opportunity to pour her a glass of wine and grab myself a beer which she keeps in her fridge. Once she hangs up I hand her the glass, "Here you are."

"Thank you Jane. Pizza will be here in 30 minutes and I got you hot wings because I know you like them."

"Oh thanks Maura. You're the best. Okay so you said you wanted to start with Wonder Woman right?"

"Yes Jane I ordered all 3 seasons from Amazon and put them on the table next to where you keep your gun." Another thing she does for me. She bought a lock drawer for both the livingroom and her bedroom. Maybe there is more to us that meets the eye.

"Okay I will put in the DVD and have it paused so we can start it when we sit down with our dinner."

"Sounds perfect Jane."

We are sitting at the bar and I notice how beautiful she is, not that I haven't before. Her honey blonde hair, hazel eyes, and how her face just seems to be so symmetrical. Tanned skin and kind eyes, the kindest eyes I have ever seen.

"Jane...Jane, are you okay?" I hear as my thoughts drift but brought back from my head when I feel a soft hand take my hand into its own.

"Oh yes Maura I'm sorry I'm a bit dazed and a tad tired."

"Alright well since you know so much about Wonder Woman I won't mind if you doze off."

"Good to know. Alright you mind if I hop in the shower while we wait for the pizza.

"That's fine Jane."

"Alright I will see you after the shower." I say as I head towards the bathroom.

Before I enter the bathroom, I stop in the main bedroom to grab my sweats and BPD shirt. I grab a towel from under the sink and turn the hot water. I stand under the spray and my mind begins to wander, Maura is so put together and lovely. She is beyond beautiful, and I can't imagine my life around her.

After around 15 minutes later and while I am rinsing the shampoo out of my hair I hear the doorbell. I figured the pizza must be here so I finished rinsing shampoo and got out. I dry myself off and get dressed before heading downstairs.

"Did the pizza come?"

"Yes, we are all set and tonight we can eat in the living room because I know you are tired."

"Sounds good Maura."

We both sit down on the couch and I press play. We eat and watch the show with minimal talking except for Maura's question. I lean back and I notice that Maura is shivering slightly, so I turn to her and ask, "Are you cold Maura?"

"Yes a bit, mind if I share the blanket with you?"

"Of course, you know you don't have to ask." She scoots closer to me and I throw the blanket over her. I slouch down a little and start to relax. I feel my eyes flutter and close. As I lay there a few minutes go by and I feel a weight on my shoulder and I peek with one eye, Maura's falling asleep on my shoulder. I figure I'll let her fall asleep and then I will carry her to the bedroom so we can sleep.

10 minutes go by and I feel her settle next to me. I slowly extract myself from her. I put one arm behind her head and one under her knees and hoist her up. "Jane...that..you?"

"Yes Maura you fell asleep we're going to bed."

"...okay.."

I make our way upstairs, and lay her down on the bed I pull down the covers. I lay her down and climb in as well, as I pull up the duvet to cover us she reaches out for me. I feel her move closer and lay her head on my shoulder, she throws her arm over my stomach, and bent one of her legs over my legs. I like the feeling of her sleeping and cuddled into me, just before falling asleep she whispers, "Good..night jane...love..you"

I fall asleep happy with her in my arms.
