"Drinking wine in the morning isn't the best habit to have, Miss." A raspy voice said from behind her.
Maura looked around startled, finding the brunette standing in the doorway of the library with a little smirk on her face. "Why are you here, Jane?" she asked, the name of the brunette rolled over her tongue like it was made just for her to say, it felt good and satisfying to speak out her name, it almost scared Maura of how attracted she actually was to the guard in front of her. "I just accompanied the First Lady for breakfast since you, Miss had breakfast earlier and your father had an urgent call and went straight to his office after waking up, assigning me to accompany you today, my replacement is still wandering around here so I'm a bit.. Redundant."
Jane walked into the room, she looked around, "How did you know I was here?" Maura asked, now going back to reading her book. "I assumed you were the book-type and well, where else to look for a book-type then the library." The brunette mocked with a little grin her face when the Frist Daughter broke the contact with the book again to look at her offended. "How dare you?!" she asked high pitched while standing up.
"It was a joke. My apologies Miss." Jane said, fixing her voice back to a professional tone. "And it wasn't an insult, actually, it was a compliment that I found you smart enough to think you would spent your free time in the library." Jane added, earning a confused and then a offended look from the Frist Daughter, "You assumed that I was dumb?!" she asked now.
"Didn't I just said that I found you smart enough?" Jane asked, now she being the confused one. Maura was slightly amused by the guards confused look, it made her look cute, the big brown eyes filled with confused and the strong black eyebrows knitted together, her brains working on something logic to hold on to. "You look cute when you look confused." she blurted out before realizing what she had said. She saw the brunette's face softening, going back to its normal expression, a slight blush covering her cheeks, it made the blonde smile until she realized she had a blush on her face too.
"Er.. T- thank you." Jane stumbled over the lump in her throat, her voice low, she didn't knew what else to say after the beautifully, gorgeous First Daughter just called her cute, she cleared her throat. ''So, Miss. What are your plans for the day?'' Jane murmured quickly, hoping it was enough to change the topic.
Maura happily took the opportunity to change the topic, ''I was planning on visiting a friend that I haven't seen in a while in Boston. I am leaving this afternoon, I would love to if you want to join me.'' she said, when realizing Jane was her father's bodyguard she corrected herself. ''If my father approves of course.''
Jane swallowed, Maura could see something was bothering her, ''B- Boston? You are here for barely a day..'' the woman rasped, the blonde frowned. ''Yes. Boston. It is about one and a half hour with the plane from here. I am staying there for a week, my parents said that if I wanted to go, I needed to go before the media discovered that I am back in America. So I am leaving as soon as possible.'' She laid the book down on the table together with her glass of wine. ''Do you want to join me, or not?'' she asked while her eyes flashed back to Jane, the brunette was a bit uncomfortable,
Jane was glad she had left Boston behind, she had left Korsak there, Cavanaugh, her parents, her brothers, she left it all for this job. ''I would love to join you, Miss.'' she spoke, not being able to resist the adorable green eyes of the honey blonde woman in front of her. ''Good.'' she smiled, ''I will enlighten my father, hoping he approves of it. Then you need to head home to pack some bags and we will be ready to leave.'', Jane was confused, she eyed the woman, ''You don't want me to check if everything is safe? Double check the hotel you are staying at? Arrange the route towards the hotel?''
''No, silly.'' Maura laughed. That laugh, it made Jane feel weak in her knees. ''We travel with a private plane and my friend comes to pick me up. I own a house and a car in Beacon Hill. So no worries. I will ask my father if you can come along, if you can, I will text you. Then you can go home, pack your bags and come back, then we will head towards the airport, but I drive.'' Jane thought she was joking about the last part, she opened her mouth to answer but the first daughter narrowed her eyes, showing it wasn't a joke. The brunette just nodded instead, not asking anything else. ''Clear.'' she mumbled as Maura approached her,
''You sounded a bit scared when I asked you to join me to Boston, bad memories?'' she spoke softly, her hands heading for Jane's belt. Jane just kept standing up straight with her hands behind her back, the brown eyes following every movement the other woman made.
''No, not at all. I just don't like planes that much.'' she lied, her voice a bit hoarse from the dry mouth she had suffered from the blonde this close to her. Maura reached further, the green eyes flickering up to lock themselves with the pure brown ones, she kept a straight face as she pulled Jane's phone out of its holster. Maura pulled back from the blonde again and broke off the gaze, sending herself a text with the brunettes so they had each others numbers saved before giving it back, grabbing her glass of wine and leaving the library, leaving the guard behind speechless.
''What that girl does to me..'' Jane rasped out quietly to herself while sliding her phone back into its holster, shaking her head to forget about the close contact she had with Maura just a few seconds ago.
