Hey guys! This is the last chapter! I hope you enjoyed it so far, let me know what you think. :)
I don´t own the characters or the songs.
Enjoy!
It was Jane´s and Cho´s turn and it was a whole comedy. Jane was all energic and goofing around while Cho was just singing and glaring at him.
Then all hell broke loose, it was turn for Kim and Cho´s duet. Jane chose Just a Dream by Nelly, but the slower version. By the end both were shaking and holding back tears. It was painful to watch, but Lisbon trusted Jane and his plan.
When it was over, Kim excused herself and went to the bathroom and Cho went to get a drink. Bingo.
"Well, that was intense," Lisbon said as she and Jane were left alone.
"Oh yeah, it was something for sure," Jane agreed and he took a sip from his drink.
"Do you think it will work?" She asked and bit her lip. He tried to stay serious when he saw that she was worried, but that lip biting drove him crazy.
"Of course it will work. My plans always work," he said and Lisbon snorted. "Yeah right, half of your plans almost got you killed or arrested," she said.
"That's true, but you were always there to save me."
"That may be true," she said and raised her brows "...but I won't be able to save you if Cho decides to kill you."
"He won't decide to kill me, because my brilliant plan will work," he said confidently.
"Mhmm," she smiled and bit her bottom lip again. He couldn't resist this time. Jane leaned down and took her bottom lip to his mouth, his tongue freeing it from her teeth and then kissed her. He said some stupid joke and Lisbon laughed and kissed him again, while both were smiling.
Cho, sitting at the bar, drinking his third shot, witnessed the whole thing and ordered another one. At the same time, Kim came from the bathroom, now feeling a little better. She saw Cho look at someone and then drink a shot, she followed his gaze and looked at her colleagues. They were both laughing and occasionally kissing, they were a definition of a fresh love. She looked at them longingly for a few seconds and decided that she needed a shot...or two, too. She sat next to Cho and ordered.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Sure, I just needed some air," she replied. "But I'm surely not as great as the lovebirds over there," she said, referring to the two partners.
"It's still weird to see them as a couple sometimes," said Cho as he took another shot.
"Yeah…" She said and they were silent for a while, just watching those two.
"Listen, I…" Kim started to say but she didn't get to say another word, because Cho took her face in his hands and kissed her. She was shocked for a few seconds, eyes opened wide, not moving. Then she realized that she wasn't breathing and came back to her senses. She closed her eyes and kissed him back. The kiss slowly became passionate and soon, they were engaged in a full make out session, not caring about the audience. They´ve waited long enough.
At the booth a few meters from them, Lisbon was just telling a story, when she glanced at the par and almost let out a squeak.
"Ohh! Jane! Look, look!" She said and pointed at the couple still making out at the bar.
"Ohh, see! I told you my plan will work!" He said happily.
"But what was your next plan? How could you know that they will start kissing? They were pretty shaken up after the singing," Lisbon wondered.
"Easy, I knew that they would look at us and see us kissing and joking around and that they would realize that they want something like that too," Jane said and kissed her cheek.
"Wait, so all the kissing and goofing around was just your plan? You just tricked me into kissing you?" She asked with raised eyebrows.
"Oh, of course not!" Jane said with a huff. "But if you don't believe me, I could kiss you now, my plan already worked after all," Jane said and leaned for a kiss, only to meet with her hand as she pushed him away.
"Nuh uh Romeo, you had your chance. I want to watch those two," Lisbon said and continued to look at them.
"You want to watch them make out? That´s a little creepy don´t you think, dear?" Jane asked and smiled at how cute she looked at that moment, all smiley and happy that her friends finally figured it out.
"Do you think they mind? They're making out at a bar. I'm surely not the only one watching, but at least I know them," she said matter of factly.
By the time they finished bickering, Fisher and Cho finished their passionate embrace and returned to the booth, but wearing embarrassed but happy expressions.
"Oh, hi there guys, did you find out anything interesting at the bar? You´ve been there for quite a long time," Jane teased them.
"Oh, don´t start," Cho replied, but he was smiling.
Meanwhile Lisbon sat next to Kim and nudged her shoulder "That was some kiss, huh?" She asked the agent.
"Oh for sure. I think one of the best first kisses I´ve ever had," Kim replied with a smile, still dazed a little.
Lisbon squealed a little and hugged her friend. "Gosh, I´m so happy it finally happened. What are you gonna do now?" She asked Kim.
"I don´t know. We haven't said a word since we...finished," She blushed and looked down.
"Ookay, so what do you want to do?" She asked again.
"Honestly? I have no idea. But I sure as heck know, that I never want to feel like I felt this whole night. It was a disaster, I thought that I´m going to faint. It was horrible," Kim replied and took a deep breath.
"Yeah, this night was hard on both of you," Lisbon replied. "But everything's going to be okay, you´ll see," she added and smiled.
"I hope you're right," Fisher said and smiled too.
"Alright guys!" Jane exclaimed. "I think we´ve had enough of singing, let's hit the dance floor," he said and made his way to the dance floor, taking Lisbon´s hand and taking her with him.
Fisher and Cho looked at each other and Cho lifted his shoulder "Guess we´re going dancing."
"Yeah, looks like we are," she laughed a little and together they joined their colleagues on the dance floor.
The song that was playing was fast so Lisbon and Jane were naturally goofing around and laughing. The other couple was swaying awkwardly next to them. Then a slow song replaced the fast beat and all of them paused. Jane tugged Lisbon close and started to sway, both used to dance together thanks to their recent dates. Cho and Fisher on the other hand, looked like two teenagers at the prom, dancing as far as possible from each other while still touching.
Then Kim took a deep breath and said "I want what they have," she said, referring to the couple sharing a lovely embrace. Cho looked at them "Yeah," he said and turned to her again.
Fisher took another deep breath and said "I want that, with you," she said and looked at him. They stopped dancing. "Really?" He asked. Expression hopeful.
"Yes. I´d like to try at least," she said and smiled a little.
"I would like that too," He replied. "Really?" She asked, now the one with the hopeful expression.
"Yeah," he replied and smiled. She smiled too. Then, he tugged her close and started to gently sway again. Her head now on his shoulder. As they were slowly turning, Kim and Lisbon´s eyes met, both in the embrace of a person they had feelings for, and smiled at each other. Then it was turn for Jane´s and Cho´s eyes to meet. They both lifted their thumbs to say "good job, we made it".
Both couples continued to dance 'till their feet hurt.
"Thank you guys for the great night," Fisher said as all four were waiting for a cab in front of the club.
"We thank you for inviting us, it was great to finally relax and have fun with friends," Lisbon replied and smiled. "It sure was. And Jane? Thanks for your great plans, that actually worked and no one died or got arrested," teased Cho.
"Oh haha. I don't know what you are talking about. My plans are always good." The group snort that followed amused everyone but Jane.
The cab finally came and all four of them shared it.
Lisbon and Jane got out first and once again thanked them for the great night and made their way to Lisbon´s house. The cab then continued to Fisher´s address.
"I'll be right back" Cho told the cabbie when he stopped in front of Kim´s apartment.
"Thank you for tonight, I had fun. Well, except maybe the whole singing...thing," Kim said and laughed.
"I had fun too, except yeah the whole karaoke thing. But at the end, Jane´s plan worked," Cho replied.
"Yeah," Kim said and rolled her eyes. Jane and his plans.
"I wanted to ask, if you'd like to go out with me sometime next week? Depends on work," Cho asked, heart pounding.
Kim smiled brilliantly "Yes, I would like that. Very much," she replied.
"Okay, great. So we will talk at the office then."
"Yeah, okay," she said.
"Okay then…" Cho said and kissed her cheek. "...Goodnight Kim."
"Goodnight Cho," she replied and opened her door.
Cho returned to the cab and told him his address.
"First date?" The cabbie asked.
"Yeah, something like that," he replied.
"Yeah, it's quite obvious, the shyness and all. Not like the other two who were bickering like an old married couple."
Cho laughed a little "Oh, you have no idea."
"Well, I hope it works out between you two."
"Yeah, me too," Cho replied and smiled as the cab pulled away from her street.
