"A forbidden love"
Chapter 1. Betrayal
'Do you, Patrick Jane, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, , from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you apart?', said Agent Kimball Cho looking at the pair in front of him.
'I sure do', said the blond man smiling widely at the petite brunet in front of him. He took the ring and he put it on her finger, caressing it lovingly.
'And do you, Teresa Lisbon, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to…'
'I do, I do. God, I do', said the woman, laughing along with her newly husband. She put the ring on his finger. Both of them completely lost into each other eye's.
'For the power the state of Texas and the FBI has given me…' stated Agent Cho, gesturing to the office in which the ceremony was taken place, hidden from the outside world by the shades of the walls, 'and in front of our witness, here… ', he said gesturing to agent Abbot, who smiled to the pair, ' I declare you, Patrick and Teresa, husband and wife. You may kiss the bride'
And with that, the pair in love kissed each other deeply, forgetting about the world around them, not caring about anything else. Just their love.
Kimball Cho smiled at them, and whoever knew him would have known then, it was his most sincere smile.
They were all in a war, they would have to hide their love… but it was certain their love would defeat all enemies.
6 weeks before,
If someone would have told him the current situation in his life, he probably had laughed out loud. Even now, he still couldn't believe it. After more than two years of being isolated in that island after killing Red John, he's managed to come back to the United Stated, to be reunited with Lisbon and found that they were all being targeted by the remnants of the Blake Association.
In other words, his purpose of confessing his eternal love for Teresa would have to wait. Once more.
His fucking life was some kind of a joke, sometimes he felt as if he was on the season 6 or 7 of a tv show where screenwriters were pretty bored with their own lives. To make things worse, Lisbon looked even more beautiful, sexy, hilarious, good-looking and amazing than ever.
The thing was they have started on the wrong foot when he came back, she was hurt and it was obvious that she couldn't trust him again at the fullest. But as weeks passed by, they started to gravitate towards each other as easily as they had once done during those years in the CBI, back at Sacramento.
To be apart from her was like fighting gravity.
It was not possible.
To try not to make a move on her, to try not to give himself completely to her was killing him slowly. He would give anything to be able to love her as he has dreamt for so long, especially during those months alone in his isolation.
'I love them', she said as she ate some popcorn, breaking his rail of thoughts.
They've been watching one of her favourites episodes of X-files, maybe season 6 or 7, judging the way Mulder and Scully were openly flirting with each other. He has come to Lisbon's house a few hours ago so they could have dinner together and relax on her couch as they used to do back in California, when they weren't too busy with the Red John case. He has missed it so hard.
'You don't love them. You love the idea of them', he muttered to her, knowing it would make her mad and they would start to argue. He adores the look on her face when she gets angry at him, his beautiful angry princess.
'And there he goes, again', she growled at him as she threw a popcorn to his face. He caught it with his mouth, smiling teasingly at her shocked expression.
'You should know by now, Teresa, that I'm a man of many talents', he told her as he stole some popcorns from the bowl she was holding.
She looked a bit red now, her cheeks flustered, her eyes shining, and then she looked away, back to the TV.
Oh, Teresa.
If only…
But it would endanger their lives, specially hers… God, he wishes he could make all those Blake's adepts disappear. They have wasted too much time already.
'I don't know why you like this guy so much. He doesn't treat her as he should, Lisbon. Scully is always clearing up his mess…', and he stopped talking biting his lips.
Well, that was funny indeed.
She looked at him with a frown, but he knew she was trying not to laugh at him.
'Tell me more about this guy, Jane', she told him as she moved on the couch, facing him.
'He's a fucking idiot, for sure. Handsome, sexy.. but an idiot', he told her as he looked at the TV.
'Yep', she said as she hit him slightly with her foot.
He caught it before she could move away. He caressed it gently, fascinated by the fact that the agent Teresa Lisbon from the FBI, always so professional, would have her nails painted in pink.
'But it's clear that he would do anything to protect her. She is his touchstone, his constant', he mumbled as he contemplated her, she looked so perfect. Her disheveled hair, her sleepy eyes, her whole body relaxed, just enjoying a quiet moment on her couch after a long day at work. He caught a curl with his hands, caressing it. He put it behind her ear, caressing her jaw as he moved away from her.
Of course, their moment was broken when her phone rang.
….
'Fisher has been arrested. It looked as if she had given some information surrounding both of you.. I think she may have been working for the Blake Association', said Abbot as the team reunited, once more, in the dark of the night in the FBI quarters.
Jane shallowed hard.
How could he be so blind?
That woman knew him well, she saw him on the island, and has been working with them for weeks now. Fisher knew the reason why he had come back to the country was Teresa Lisbon.
'I think we're in danger, and… specially, you two', said Abbot pointing at Lisbon and him, 'You're after all the reason why Red John was defeated'
'We are going to need a plan', said Cho, as stoic as ever.
'We.. we'll talk tomorrow, okay? I need to go back to Jena, and all of you should rest. Don't come back to the FBI until midday or so, okay?', said Abbot who looked upset.
The man clearly was overprotective with the team, a honourable man.
Lisbon gathered her staff, she clearly looked shocked after hearing her friend was a traitor after all. He followed her to the elevator, and he stood close to her as the door closed on them.
Then, he pushed her against the wall making her gasp in surprise.
'Jane?, she asked him, looking bewildered at him.
'I will protect you until my dying breath, Lisbon', he mumbled in a rough voice as his forehead touched hers, ' I will do anything, anything to protect you'
He trembled as her arms hold him back, as if she was trying to protect him from the world. They breathed into each other, looking at each other eyes, terrified by their situation. They have just come back to each other, they were still recovering their friendship and now, everything could be taken away from her. A new menace was threatening their lives.
'I will protect you too, Jane. You know it, nothing will harm you', she whispered closing her eyes.
His mouth leant into her forehead, kissing it tenderly, inhaling the scent of her hair.
'Nothing will harm us', he stated as the elevator opened his doors once more.
Both of them moved in synchrony together, not daring to hold each other hands, scared of anyone who could be watching them.
