Deep in the Heart of Texas Chapter 2

Lisbon composed herself after the shocking news that Mama Pike was a Jane fan

"Your Mom's really a fan of Jane? She looked to her companion for absolute confirmation. "You're not just pulling my leg?

"No," Marcus laughed. "She's a big fan remembers him from all his TV appearances. Mom believes in all that mumbo jumbo."

"She knows that Jane is not a real physic, right?

"Well actually she thinks he is hiding his gift after what happened to his family. I think she might be more excited about meeting him then you." He laughed out loud.

"Well I'm used to being in Jane's shadow."

Marcus looked at her confused "You think you play in his shadow?"

"Of course who can compete with Mr Dazzling Smile oozing charm Patrick Jane." Lisbon seemed a little put out by the question.

"That's not the way I see it. He has nothing but the utmost adoration for you, In fact before I made my bold pancake proposition I asked around to make sure you guys weren't you know together, a couple."

"Me and Jane a couple, seriously? You see the way he acts with me?"

"Yeah, I do." Pike sighed.

Kim Fischer had been sitting alone at the bar now for over thirty minutes and still her date was no where in sight. He had declined her invitation to ride together claiming he had last minutes things to do."

"Kim!" Finally the voice she'd been waiting for arrived.

"Patrick, over here" She knew she was waving a little too enthusiastically but she couldn't stop herself.

The blonde haired gentleman garnered more than a few approving looks from the female population perched at the bar. He was of course oblivious to the hormonal spikes that were popping around him.

"Hey Kim, nice place been here long?

"Yes we were supposed to meet at seven. What took you so long?"

"You know this and that. You alone?"

"Yes, I'm alone I invited you for a drink remember?"

"Oh so it's just you and me?

"I guess you could say that I mean we had a good time in Venezuela right?"

"Good time? Was that good time before or after a fully trained FBI agent let the local bandidos beat the crap out of me and kick me in the balls?"

"I was undercover Patrick I couldn't have stepped in you would have made me. Besides there was no permanent damage. More ego then physical, right?" Kim placed her hand on his and gave it a squeeze.

Jane looked at her closely her pupils were dilated and the pulse in her neck thumped wildly. Yeah she thought this was a date.

"Don't brood Patrick. Can I get you a drink?" Kim let his hand go to signal the bartender.

"At lest she stopped touching me." Jane thought time to straighten out this delusion.

"You did know that this it was a social invitation? Teresa said you wouldn't get it."

"Lisbon knows we're out together?"

"I kind of mentioned I asked you to join me this evening."

Jane face lite up with his trademark super sonic smile.

"Then I think we should take a picture and show her what a good time we're having together."

Kim smiled back at him "Give me your phone we can take take a selfie and send it to her right now."

Jane leaned in close to her and Fischer put her arm around his neck.

"Smile" she said taking the shot.

Jame stared at the screen "How do I send it?"

Lisbon was placing the last item on the check out counter when her phone chirped.

There looking at her were a smiling Lisbon and Fischer with the tag "Guess who else is on a date.?"

"Jackass."

"What is is Teresa?"

"Nothing just Jane apparently he is on date with Kim, Sent a picture."

"Oh let me see" Marcus took the phone out of her hand. "Good for them. Kind of thought Kim was sweet on Patrick, Glad she got the nerve to ask him out.'

"Yeah, she has nerve alright." Lisbon shoved the package of rolls in the grocery bag.

"You know a guy like Jane needs a little push. What with his background and all glad Kim made the first move." Pike hand back the phone

"Maybe we could double sometime?"

If looks could kill Marcus Pike would be pushing up daisies.
