Jane woke up the next day to the smell of coffee and breakfast. She walks to the kitchen while pulling a sweater over her head. "Really, Maura you decided to make a full breakfast spread on the morning we leave for three days?" Jane pours herself a cup of coffee. "Not that I'm complaining, this is wonderful."
"Well since you did carry me to bed last night it's the least that I could do considering you did not wake me up." Maura says as she takes a seat on the barstool next to Jane. "Also I thought that your mom and brother would like a hot breakfast when they get up."
"Oh, how thoughtful. You know Tommy will never leave if you keep feeding him."
"Maybe that is my intent." Maura smirks.
"That is so not cool." Pouting Jane hops off her stool, "The food was delicious as always, but now I must go get cleaned up for our flight. I don't want to be one of those people that other passengers don't want to be around because of body funk."
"Jane body odor is normal. Some animals produce a particular scent when they are in the mood to mate."
"Well for this animal that scent does not involve body odor to signal when I want to mate."
"Oh, so what is your signal when you want to mate?" The thought has her mind racing.
"That is for me to know and for you to find out." She says over her shoulder as she walks to the guest bathroom.
Maura thinks to herself, "hmm, maybe I will, maybe I will." She is staring at Jane's shapely backside the whole time.
30 minutes later….
Jane is on the couch pulling on her shoes, "Hurry up Maura, we are going to be late if we don't leave now." Just then the cab arrived to take them to the airport. "I'm going to start loading up the luggage."
Maura walks out just as Jane makes the first trip to load the cab. She grabs the remaining luggage before locking up the house. "You can't rush the art of perfecting this look. Besides you never know when the will meet a potential lover."
Jane finally gets a chance to look at her friend; she is dressed comfortably yet stylish. The plum colored turtleneck sweater showed off her amazing curves. Man the temperature of her skin was increasing just looking at Maura despite the cold. "I hope that is not too uncomfortable for the flight."
Maura brushes past Jane to enter the open door of the cab that she was holding. She heard a sharp intake of breath. This also gives her a chance to check Jane out. She picked to wear dark wash blue jeans with a Red Sox hoodie. Typical Jane, practical yet for some reason Maura found it arousing.
The trip to the airport and through security was uneventful except for Jane felt that she had to flash her badge to keep some men from getting to Maura.
Once seated on the plane Maura turns to Jane, "why did you intimidate those men that were only trying to talk to me?"
"If I didn't do that, then we would still be waiting in line and might have missed the flight. Besides some of them gave me the creeps." Jane didn't want to admit that she was jealous of those men wanting her attention. In her eyes, Maura was not only her best friend, but in her dreams they were lovers.
"Point taken, but you could have at least let me get some numbers." She knew that she was getting under Jane's skin by saying these things. In reality she just did it to see the jealousy boil in Jane's eyes. One day she would push hard enough and Jane would give in and act on the jealousy.
The flight attendant was going over the safety procedures by this time so both Jane and Maura got settled in their seats. The flight would last four hours so Jane knew that she could cover a large portion of her crime novel before they landed.
Once in the air Maura turned on her iPod to listen to some of her favorite music and asked for a small blanket and pillow. She was tapping her shoe to the beat until she began to drift off to sleep.
Jane did not notice that her companion had fallen asleep until she felt Maura's head settle on her shoulder and a sigh make her hair tickle her cheek. "She's so damn cute." Jane thinks to herself before deciding that she would take a nap too.
The flight attendant was pushing the beverage and snack cart down the aisle by the time they were both long ago asleep. Jane's head had settled on top of Maura's, which was still on her shoulder. She brought the sleeping pair another blanket and covered them up. The flight attendant made a mental note to wake them up before they arrived.
