The Lab Coat
chapter 2
If anyone had passed by Maura's house last night they surely would have thought they had seen or felt her house quacking and rocking. Because both Maura and Jane spent a restless night tossing and turning rolling side to side in their beds while thinking about the other. Neither could get the image of the others unclothed body out of their minds.
Maura had tiptoed slowly and approached Jane's guest room at least a dozen times wanting to go in and discuss taking her and Jane's relationship a step further. But always stopped herself thinking she should probably approach Jane slowly to not scare her off. But as Maura returned for the last time to her room she notices the sun was coming up . Maura thought to herself soon Jane ...soon.
Jane put her pillow over her face and screamed into it. She then threw the last thing off her bed in frustration, the pillow bounced off the dresser onto the floor. Jane wiggled and pounded her arms and legs on the bed trying to put an end to the images of Maura's body out of her head but to no avail. She sat up on the bed and looked out the window as the snow blew strongly against the glass. Jane got up and started getting dressed to go shovel the snow. Layer by layer of clothes going on she was getting even more frustrated until she softly mumbled angrily to herself,
"Fuck it I'm going to shovel now. Maybe it'll take my mind off those amazing boobs of hers. Dammit Maura why do you have to be .."
Jane stopped talking to herself as she smelled coffee and heard someone in the kitchen. She pulls on her boot and ties it then stands and stomps her feet softly to get her feet comfortable in the new boots Maura had bought her for shoveling for her in the last snowstorm.
Soft couple of knocks on the guest bedroom door startles Jane as she turns her head to look at the door.
Clears her sleepy throat and gravels out "Yeah come on in."
Door opens as Jane sees a sleepy eyed but smiling Maura holding out a mug to her.
"Thought you might want a cup of coffee?"
Jane took the mug grinning "Yes always, thanks Maur."
Maura looks at Jane's clothes "You going somewhere? I don't think you should they haven't plowed my street yet , maybe you should wait?"
Shaking her head no "I'm not going anywhere except to the driveway to shovel. I think that'll be safe , well at least after I finish shoveling it."
Maura covers her mouth and shyly laughs. She then looks over Jane's outfit and notices she buttoned her flannel shirt wrong.
Jane looks down at what Maura was looking at
What? Something on my shirt?"
Maura points "No , I think you just buttoned it up out of line."
"Out of line?"
Maura grabs the longer edge and pulls it out. "This side is longer."
Jane smiles then starts unbuttoning her shirt. Maura jumps in and starts buttoning the shirt up right for her.
Last night flashes in Jane mind, she starts turning red and knocks Maura's hands away gently.
"I got it from here Maura thanks."
Maura sees the red cheeks on Jane's face and smiles and slowly sips her own coffee as she turns and walks out of the bedroom.
Jane goes outside and begins shoveling the walkways around Maura's front door . Maura watches from her front window and decides to bring her a cup of coffee out to her.
She walks up to Jane with the coffee in her hand. Jane turns to throw a shovel full of snow to the side and just misses hitting Maura in the face with it.
"Oh God Maura I didn't see you there!"
Maura eyes wide now laughs handing her the coffee "That's okay I should have announced myself. Anyways you missed me."
Jane takes a sip of coffee letting her eyes slowly pan Maura up and down. Maura sees her looking and knows she must be thinking about the video tape of her. She decided about thirty minutes ago to set up the VCR and find the other tapes of her in college she wants Jane to watch. In hopes of moving their relationship to the next level.
"Sorry Maura, I'm about done here. Here take my coffee and go back in . It's too cold out here for you with that thin coat your wearing. I'll be in the house in a few minutes ."
"Okay Jane . Hurry up though I have a little surprise waiting for you. A kinda reward for shoveling for me all week."
Maura winks at her turns and walks back to the house.
Jane shocked gets flustered and starts blushing as her mind goes wild imagining all kinds of ways Maura could be thanking her . She tries to cover by laughing and jokes,
"What ? Oh I know you're going to let me watch all your sex tapes in your the college years."
Maura looks up coyly at Jane ,
"No I'm saving those for a special occasion." Maura walks back in her house closing the door behind her.
Jane stands there in a daze wondering if she really had sex tapes. The wind picks up and strongly blows across her face. The snowflakes are big and start stinging as they hit her hard on her face. Her mouth had fallen open in shock with what Maura had told her. The snow was blowing into her mouth so much she started choking and coughing. She turns her back on the strong wind and catches her breath and gives a quick glance back at the house to make sure Maura hadn't seen her . Coast was clear so she starts shoveling the snow. Jane shoveled and thought about the sex tapes for the next hour or so.
Maura was busy looking through her things to find all of her college tapes. She had in mind a certain tape she remembered and wanted Jane to watch.
Jane was at the end of the driveway when her shovel scraped across a sheet of ice.
"Oh! Nope not going to mess with ice. I'll go get some salt and throw it on the ice."
Jane hears a knock on the window and turns to see if it was Maura wanting something. Jane as she turns her foot had stepped on the ice and she lost her balance and fell hard down on the driveway.
Jane screamed out in pain and pound her fist on the ice patch she now saw clearly. "Owww! Dammit!"
Jane tried to get up but was in too much pain so she just laid there debating whether or not to yell for help from Maura. She just closed her eyes in pain and waited for the pain to pass so she could get up off the ground. But a a few second later she hears Maura standing over top of her.
"Oh Jane are you okay, did you fall?"
Struggling to sit up "Ow,ow,ow yeah stupid ice. Be careful there is ice all around here."
Maura helps Jane stand up slowly and they walk into the house.
"Let's get you off your feet and in bed ."
Jane grins then grimaces in pain as they walk into the guestroom.
"Slowly lower yourself onto the bed Jane."
Maura gently picks up Jane's legs up one at a time and places them easy down on the bed. Jane tries not to scream out in pain . It sounds like grunts and groans to Maura as she is feeling guilty because she hurt herself shoveling her driveway.
"I'm sorry Jane I should have hired a service to clear the driveway. Tell me what can I do, what do you need right now? Are you in a lot of pain? Where exactly does it hurt?"
Jane half grins at all the questions "Um my head right now."
Worried it could be serious "Oh Jane a head injury. I'll call 911 you wait here."
Jane laughs and grabs Maura by her wrist and pulls her back down to sit on the bed beside her.
"My head because too many question Maura. I just hurt my lower back. Didn't mean to scare you."
Maura relieved play smacks Janes shoulder " Oh Jane really. That was not funny , head injuries can be very serious ."
Jane tries to sit up to apologize properly but a shooting pain stops her and she yells out in pain.
"Jane I'm going to get you some ibuprofen and a heating pad. I'll be right back okay? Is there anything else you need while I'm getting those ?"
"Um , Ow fuck! this hurts bad Maura. Ibuprofen ? Do you have anything stronger ? Sorry for cursing but this really hurts."
"Ah okay I'll check. Be right back." Maura turns the VCR on. "Here I put in a new video for you." She winks "Maybe this will make you feel a little better."
Jane watches Maura leave the room. She looks at at the video, a young Maura again.
" Damn , she's fully clothed ."
A few minutes later Maura walks in and hands her a glass of water . She holds a bottle of pills reading it to Jane.
"Jane these are muscle relaxers. They are very strong so we need to be careful how often you take one. It says one every 6 hours . Here go ahead take one now. Let's get those layers of clothes off you too."
Maura starts unzipping her coat and Jane winces in pain and stops her.
"Let's hold off on that at least until the pill kicks in okay?"
"Of course Jane. I received a call from Susie and I need to go over a few reports with her online. Will you be okay if I go do that now? You can just call out for me and I'll come back in here if you need me."
Jane nods as she tries to see the TV behind Maura's head.
"Yeah , yeah go ahead I'll be okay here . I'll just holler at you if I need you, go ."
Maura left as Jane casually turns her head and looks at the bottle of muscle relaxers. She looks at the door then picks up the bottle and takes another pill out then puts the bottle back. Jane pops the pill in her mouth and grins as she takes a drink of water to swallow the pill.
"One more won't hurt I'm in a lot pain."
Watching the video she sees all of Maura's college friends but no Maura. Jane then smells something bad, She realizes it's her , she sweated a lot shoveling all that snow. She decided she needed to take a quick shower. The first pill was kicking in so she carefully got up and stripped off her clothes and took a shower.
Ten minutes later she got out and wrapped a big fluffy towel around herself and went back into the bedroom. She was feeling a little better as she looked for some clothes to put on. But when she bent down to put on some underwear . She felt a strong stabbing pain shoot across her lower back. She left the underwear on the floor a grabbed the towel and wrapped herself up again. She made it back to the bed and sat down. She looked up and noticed the tape had quit playing . So gingerly crawled down to the end of the bed on her belly . The towel had loosened and fell off as she made it to the end of the bed. Jane reached down on the floor and picked up a new tape and put in in the VCR. She hit play and watched. She was just about to crawl back into the bed but every move she made was too painful. If she stayed with torso on the bed and leaning on her forearms down on the floor she was pain free. So she decided to stay like that and watch the video until the pain passed and she could get back in bed.
Maura finishes up with Susie and fixes Jane a small fruit and cheese plate. She decides to go watch her old college videos with Jane. She is sure Jane will have loads of questions about all the women in the videos.
Happy with her choices of fruits she grabs the plate and a glass of wine for herself and heads for the guest room. Maura pushes the half opened door open all the way with the fruit plate. She looks at the top of the bed no Jane. She walks all the way in the bedroom and is shocked as she sees Jane. She is completely naked hanging halfway off the end of the bed with her knees bent with her feet casually up in the air waving side to side playfully bumping together once or twice. The video is playing and then she sees herself on there kissing her old girlfriend Jamie. She dropped the fruit plate . Thankfully only a couple apple slices fell off the plate. She bends down picks up slices and the plate. Starring at Jane's body.
"Jane what happened ? Did you fall? Are you hurt?"
Still feeling the effects of the pills . She momentarily forgets she doesn't have on any clothes but again neither does Maura on the video which Jane cannot take her eyes off of.
Jane tries to turn to look at Maura but it hurt so she answers to the Maura on the video.
"No I didn't fall. I took a shower." Jane giggles softly.
Maura's slowly examining every inch of Jane's nude body,
"You took a shower and ended up like this? Not that I'm complaining because you look amazing like this but how did this happen?"
Maura walks over and sits next to her on the end of the bed and bends over to look her in the face. But is pleasantly surprised to see she is completely nude. Maura's eyes travel up and down the side of Jane's body, She notices Jane doesn't have any tan lines anywhere I her body. How is that possible? Jane is so shy about her body . How could she be sunbathing in the nude ? Wait it's winter how is this possible? She has to ask.
"Jane why don't you have any tan lines? It's winter how are you tan to begin with?"
Reality smacks Jane out of her muscle relaxer haze.
"Maura! Hand me my towel it fell off me. Cover me up now please!"
Maura covered her mouth with her hand to try to hide her laughing. She pulls the towel out from underneath Jane's naked body. But she just folds it up and places it on her lap.
"No Jane answer me first. My house my rules especially with women who choose to get naked in my house." Maura laughs louder.
Jane could feel Maura's eyes traveling all over her body. She felt a wave of heat overcome her and she just knew her whole body must be blushing red in embarrassment.
"C'mon Maura this is embarrassing just cover me up or at least quit looking at my butt."
"Nope huh uh , not until you explain."
Jane groans trying to get up but cannot.
"Fine! I took another pill so I could take a shower okay."
Maura makes a disapproving face to her.
"I know , I know Maura I shouldn't have. But I was hurting and well I was not smelling so good ,I had to take a shower. So I did and when I bent over try to get dressed the pain came back. I laid on the bed but the video had run out so I needed to put a new one in. I crawled down here and the pain started again when I tried to get back in bed. So I'm staying down here where I don't hurt okay? Now cover up my butt at least. And stop laughing."
"Okay and the tan lines?"
Jane grunts in frustration "Grrr fine tanning bed at Vince's house. But don't tell him I told you."
"Jane that's not healthy you need to stop that. You don't need a tan..you are.. well you are gorgeous my friend."
Jane winces in pain as she picks up the remote to rewind back to what she missed while she spoke to Maura.
Maura looks at Jane's back and thinks of a way to maybe ease her pain. She gets on the bed and walks on her knees and straddles Jane's thighs.
Shocked Jane yells "Hey, hey what are you doing? I meant cover my butt with a towel not with your body."
Maura smirks "Shhh shhh Jane trust me, I'm just going to massage the muscles of your lower back. That will ease the pain for you ."
"But Maur.."
"My house my rules. Now relax."
Maura rubs her hands together fast to warm them. Slowly she places both hands on Jane's lower back and begins massaging .
Jane softly moans but then catches herself and stops.
"Maura I don't think we should be doing this we're friends. And well I'm naked here.."
"Shhh Jane relax."
Maura leans down on top of Jane pressing her upper torso on her. Jane feels something sharp poking her back.
"Ow Maur something is poking my back stop ."
Maur looks down and thinks it might be her belt on her jeans.
"Oh okay wait a second I'll fix that."
She gets up and starts to take off her belt then her jeans and the rest of her clothing falls to the floor leaving her as naked as Jane.
She gently and slowly crawls over and straddles Jane once again. Jane feels her skin on hers and is startled.
"Maura! Are you naked? What are you doing don't you think we should at least discuss this first?"
Maura sexily laughs " I was a little worried myself then I'm pretty sure that I have already received your answer. Right as I was about to straddle your legs again I caught a glimpse of something shimmering off the TV screens light."
Totally confused "What are you talking about ? I didn't give you an answer or message. What did I say or do?"
"Jane shhh calm down . Listen we have been dancing around taking our friendship to the next level for a long time now. Can we agree on that?"
Jane slumps down and relaxes a little.
"Um yeah I guess. But you can't just decide to you know ...ah well like have your way with me without discussing it with me first."
Maura laughs and continues massaging Jane's lower back as she hears a few more moans a pleasure from Jane.
" Okay I hear you Jane . But you gave me a answer already."
"What Maura, what did I say?"
"You didn't say anything but as I was getting on top of you to massage your back I saw... I saw how wet you were from just a few little rubs on your back. So I took it that you are as aroused and attracted to me as I am to you. I just thought getting undressed and giving you a real all over body massage would move things along a little faster. But if I am wrong I will stop just tell me you are not attracted to me."
Jane flips her body around until she is facing Maura and she smiles and asks,
"Okay say that all you said was true, hypothetically. How can I be really sure you feel the same way toward me? I mean in those videos I saw you go from one to another. There was like three on two tapes. God knows how many more on the rest of the tapes. I'm sorry but I just need proof or something of your true feelings Maura."
Maura grins and straddles Jane's waist and sits down on her belly.
"Alright since this is happening here. Like I've stated before my house my rules Jane. So to prove to you how I feel about you I will answer to all your 5 senses . 1) Sound"
Maura leans down puts her lips close to Jane's left ear and whispers 'I'm in love with you Jane'
"2) Sight"
Maura spreads her legs wider and points between her legs and Jane sees how wet Maura has become and nods.
"3) Touch"
Maura takes Jane's hand and places it between her legs and runs Jane's fingers through her soaking wet folds. Jane is speechless.
"4) Smell"
Maura raises Jane's fingers up under her nose.
"Breathe in Jane."
Jane breathes in big and exhales slowly smiling.
"And finally 5) Taste"
Maura lowers Jane's fingers to her lips and Jane opens her mouth.
"Taste Jane"
Tip of Jane's tongue comes out and licks her fingers. They both smile.
"Have I given you enough proof Jane?"
Jane smirks "Only if you let me give the same proof to your five senses now?"
Maura laughs and nods "Deal!"
Jane adds "Oh one more thing . Another muscle relaxer too that'll seal the deal Maura."
Maura and Jane laugh together.
"Oh Jane you are sooo you sometimes. But yeah okay deal."
Maura leans down and softly kisses Jane's still wet lips. Jane breaks the kiss and adds,
"Tomorrow if my back is better we can have a real date...that ends up back at my condo. But remember my condo my rules."
Maura nods yes laughing as she goes in for another kiss.
