A/N: Sorry it took me so long to write this chapter. I'm a very slow writer and I have to wait for inspiration to hit me. I've been having some issues but I'm glad I got to write another chapter. So here we go again..
Maura's POV
She left, I kissed her and Jane bolted fast than a horse at the race track opening gates. And what am I doing? I'm still pathetically sitting on the couch with my hands in the air where Jane's face was, I can't believe what just happened and I can't believe how reckless I was. I shake my head as stand up from the couch, grabbing the bottle of wine that was sitting on the coffee table I head toward the bathroom because suddenly I feel the need to have to use the restroom. I stop mid stride and I descend towards Jane's room because I see a little beam of light coming through my room. "Jane?" I whisper lowly and open the door a little wider with great caution.
I peak my head into Jane's bedroom cautiously and no ones in the room, my eyes cast along the bed and I see Jane's things scattered around the room. She's always so messy, but it makes it more of a homey feel. I look over at the dresser and smile. My things scattered across the top of the dresser mingling with Jane's, it makes me feel lighter about this whole situation and the complete fool I've made myself. Walking over to bed I instantly pick up her jacket and hold it close to my chest with my free hand, as I sit down on the bed I gulp an immensely large amount of my wine. Crossing my legs Indian style on the bed I stare up at the ceiling for a moment and groan loudly.
"Why did you just leave?" I mumble into Jane's jacket and feel something poking me in my rib cage, knowing all too well what it was from the jingling in the jacket pocket I reach into Jane's jacket pocket and surprisingly I pull out Jane's wallet first. Well at least it wasn't her gun. I down the rest of my wine as quick as possible and sit the empty bottle on to the nightstand next to the bed. Clutching Jane's jacket I lay down with Jane's wallet still in my hand. I look at her wallet closely and see a piece of paper stick slightly out of the edge of the wallet.
I feel like I'm invading Jane's privacy, but I between the wine and frustration I was feeling I really didn't care. I pull on the paper a little more and smile at my hand writing peeking out from one of the folded corners. 'She saved this?' I pull out the piece of paper and notice that the paper is slightly worn at the crease indicating that the paper was looked at frequently. It was a little note I had left Jane on the refrigerator a few weeks back. 'Jane, I went to get some groceries for today! I will be back as soon as I can. I love you, Maura' Why would Jane keep this? This little insignificant piece of paper must have meant something, but I just could understand why.
"Ah, I see you've made yourself comfortable." My eyes shoot up from the paper and see Jane leaning against the doorjamb looking at me with sad smile grazing her lips. My eyes shift away for a moment and I realize that the note I had in my hand is now crushed between my fingers. Oh crap... Jane eyes cast downward and the smile on her face just grew wider, I shift over a bit and swing my legs over the side of the bed as Jane cautiously walks closer to me. The air seems to thicken and my chest starts to constrict, Jane reaches for my hand and takes the piece of paper out of my hand. "Were you snooping in my coat Maura?"
I open my mouth to respond but I seemed to have lost my voice, Jane's eyes were burning holes straight through me and I could only concentrate on one thing. Jane was standing so close to me now that her legs were pressed against mine and the bed. "I.. I.. I think I had too much to drii..nk?" Good job genius, the first thing you can muster out of your Google mouth is that? My eyes cast downwards in embarrassment as the blush rises in my cheeks and down my neck, I feel Jane's fingers ghost down my shoulder and across my arm before taking her wallet.
"I'll just put this back in here." Jane tucks away the note in her wallet and she deposits it on the nightstand, I look up at her just in time for Jane to take both her hands and caress the sides of my face gently. I feel my own breath hitch as Jane's face inches ever so close to mine, locking eyes with one another I can see every emotion going through Jane's body through those eyes. "You're eyes are so beautiful, so deep and sparkly." I barely whisper out as Jane's lips caress mine slowly, I feel as if the world slowly falls down around me as our eyes close.
