I don't own Rizzoli and Isles, but I wish I did.

A/N: Thanks for the reviews, PMs, everything! Since it's the weekend, I'll have some extra time to get back to folks. Thank you all for reading my story. I'm just thrilled that you are enjoying.

Sorry for any mistakes.

Jane and Maura only had time to see each other before school and during lunch that week. Cross-country practices monopolized Jane's afternoons and schoolwork did the evenings. By the time Friday rolled around, Jane was ready to do anything that didn't involve school. The promise of spending time outside of school with Maura got her through the week as did the opportunities to give the honey blonde a hard time.

One of the highlights of Jane's week was telling Maura that she could wear jeans on Friday.

"Hey Maur', don't forget to wear your jeans and school t-shirt tomorrow." Jane was going to enjoy this.

"What?! Why would I wear that to work? That seems like a highly unprofessional way to dress."

Maura was flabbergasted.

"On Fridays, faculty wears jeans with school apparel to show school spirit. It's one of those many perks I've told you about."

Maura had to laugh at Jane's cheekiness.

Jane couldn't help herself.

"I know what you're thinking, Maura. You only have one shirt and can't fathom the idea of wearing the same shirt two weeks in a row." From the look on Maura's face, Jane could tell that she hit the nail on the head.

"So here." Jane tossed Maura a black t-shirt that had Boston East Cross-Country across the front with a bulldog running on the back.

Maura groaned good naturedly, "Thank you, Jane."

"I told you you'd have a closet full of these by the end of the year."

Maura buried her hands in her hands and resigned her closet to its fate.

R&I R&I

Jane heard a light tapping on her door at 7:30.

Looking through the peephole, Jane saw the beautiful honey blonde. She quickly unbolted the door.

"Hi Maura, come in." Jane extended her arm and gave an exaggerated bow. "Welcome to my humble abode."

Maura laughed at the brunette's antics. "Thank you, Jane."

"I hope you don't mind, but the pizza isn't here yet. It should be soon though."

"That's fine Jane. Here, I brought this for you." Maura handed Jane a bottle of wine.

"Ooo a cabernet C'est la vie." Jane winked at the honey blonde.

Maura chuckled, "Yes, it's a fine vintage."

Jane smirked in response.

Setting the bottle down on the counter, Jane asked, "Would you like something to drink? I have beer, but we can open the bottle you brought if you'd like."

"Actually, I'll try a beer." Maura thought that might surprise Jane.

Jane's eyebrows shot up to her hairline. "Really?"

"Well, that's the popular beverage most people eat with pizza, isn't it?" Maura asked innocently.

"You've got me there." Jane grinned, opened the fridge, and handed Maura a beer.

Maura looked confused. Do you have a bottle opener?

"Oh, sorry. Allow me." Jane retrieved the beer and twisted the cap off.

"Thank you," Maura said softly as she took a tentative sip.

"Mmm, this is really good, Jane!" Maura said incredulously as she wiped her chin where a few drops had dribbled.

Jane handed Maura a napkin and teased, "I am so glad that the beer didn't offend your refined taste buds."

"Don't be silly, Jane." Maura took another sip. "Even the most refined of palates can appreciate the tastes of the common rabble."

"Well, thank you, good doctor, for deigning to dine with the likes of me." Jane smirked.

Maura let out a hearty laugh. "You're welcome."

A tapping interrupted their conversation

"Pizza's here!" Jane bounded over to the door.

After paying the delivery guy, Jane carried the pizza into the kitchen.

Maura was surprised when Jane lifted the lid.

"I figured you'd probably like something healthy, so I got veggies on your side."

"And I see that you got the meat lover's on yours," Maura grinned.

Jane gave her a warm smile and opened a cabinet to take out two plates.

"I exercise. I'm allowed to splurge." Jane tried to justify.

Maura laughed and put her hands out in a placating gesture. "I didn't say a word, Jane."

"No, but you were thinking it," Jane winked.

At that moment, Jane's stomach let out a mighty growl.

"Well, I guess that's our cue to eat. C'mon, we can sit on the sofa."

Maura couldn't resist. "Did you ever get to shampoo the cushions?"

Jane placed her plate on the coffee table and walked over to the DVD player. She picked up the movie and brought it over to Maura.

"Very clever, Doctor."

"I know," Maura shot back.

The two women chuckled as she handed Maura the case.

"I figured that since you just finished your first week of teaching that it might be fun to watch some classic high school movies. Jane handed Maura a DVD case.

"10 Things I Hate About You?" Maura asked puzzled.

"What? Have you never seen it?"

"No, I never watched many movies growing up," Maura admitted.

Jane could tell that the admission embarrassed Maura, so she didn't make a big deal out of it.

"Well, I think you'll like it. It was based on Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew."

"You've read the play?" Maura asked excitedly.

"Uh, I know the plot. I never was a big fan of Shakespeare." Jane snorted as she took a swig of her beer.

"Fair enough." Maura's eyes twinkled.

Jane blushed. "Don't you ever breathe a word of this to anyone, but this is one of my favorite movies."

Maura was surprised that Jane loved a teen movie, and her face said as much.

"What?! It came out when I was a senior in high school. It's makes me feel nostalgic." Jane felt the need to defend herself.

If Jane had to be perfectly honest, it was pretty cheesy, but all high school movies (except for Breakfast Club) were that way.

"I'm sure if you like it, I'll like it, too." Maura smiled and settled onto the couch.

Jane grinned and picked up the remote. "Alright, then let's get started."

R&I R&I R&I

Throughout the course of the movie, the two women moved closer and closer together which made them very aware of each other's proximity. So much so that Maura could feel the heat radiating from Jane's body. They honestly did try to focus on the movie. They would laugh and make jokes when appropriate, but the only thing each of them cared about was the woman sitting beside her. Jane and Maura had moved so closely together that their thighs were touching.

By the time Heath Ledger was singing to Bianca, Jane decided to make a move.

Softly, Jane's hand came to rest on Maura's thigh.

Immediately, butterflies erupted in both women's chests.

Maura took that as her cue to snuggle into the brunette's side. Jane pulled her arm out from between them and wrapped it around the beautiful honey blonde. The couch's springs creaked as the two women snuggled closer together. Distracted by Maura's alluring perfume, Jane stopped paying attention to the movie.

I really want to kiss her, but do I want our first kiss to be on my couch while watching a teen movie I loved in high school? C'mon, Jane, how cheesy is that?

Jane had made up her mind.

Screw cheesy. I do what I want!

"Hey, Maur'?" Jane looked down at Maura with dark eyes.

Maura turned in Jane's arms to face the brunette. "Yes, Jane?"

"I'm going to kiss you now." Jane said with a smug expression.

"You are?" Maura quirked her eyebrow and gave the brunette a sassy grin.

"Yeah, I am."

Maura believed her.
