I'm so sorry it's been so long. But, I got sick and didn't feel up to writing. BUT alas, the next chapter. I hope I didn't lose any of you. REVIEWS AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFFF.
- Rizzoli And Isles - Rizzles -
Jane tensed at first but started relaxing into Maura. She gripped her waist a little harder and pulled her closer trying to feel more of her. She could feel Maura stopping and tried to get her to continue but soon they were mere centimeters from each other. They were both slightly breathless and lips swollen.
"Oh, Jane… I'm s-sorry. I didn't me-." She was cut off by Jane crashing her lips back against hers. Maura was slow to react but soon her hands found their way up into Jane's hair. She tangled her fingers through it while trying to gain access into Jane's mouth with her tongue. There was no fighting for control. Maura willingly allowed Jane to take the lead. She didn't want to push too far, too fast before anything even got started. Jane's hands wandered along the petite Doctor's frame trying to touch as much of her as she could grasp. She didn't know how long this would last, and she wanted to savor every moment. The need for air became too great and they separated slowly. Both breathing erratically, hearts pounding in their chest, lips swollen, pupils dilated, and a bit dazed. They both opened their eyes at the same time to look at the other. Neither of them said anything for a few seconds, trying to catch their breaths before they started this conversation.
"Jane… What was that?"
"Well, Maur. That was me kissing you back."
"Well, of course, Jane. But, I meant, are you okay with this?"
"Maur. If I wasn't okay with it, I wouldn't have kissed you back, would I?"
"Jane. It's impossible for me to know what you're thinking. And you know I don't guess on anything."
"Maur. You know I'm not good with feelings and junk. But, you're my best friend. You've been through so much with me. I know what it's like to NOT have you in my life, and it was the worst feeling. I felt like I was empty. I barely ate or slept. You make me happy. You've always been here to help me put the pieces back together. I knew when I first met you, I thought you were beautiful. And then, we got to be best friends, and I grew to love all the things about you. I love when you "Google-mouth" even when I try to seem annoyed. I love that you know so much. That your brain is filled with so much knowledge and how excited you get when you get to share a piece of it. I love it when your head tilts in concentration or confusion. The list goes on, but, whenever I imagine my life, and my future, I can't picture anyone else beside me but you. And, I've tried to imagine Casey, Dean, or even Joey, but, none of them are you."
Maura had slight tears in her eyes as she wrapped her arms tighter around Jane. She knew how hard it was for Jane to open up, even if they were best friends. She tried to compose herself, and slow her breathing to calm down enough to respond. But she was having trouble. She was used to not being first. To being someone's second choice, good for a few dates, or one night stand. But here was Jane, opening up her heart, and picking Maura first. It may not have been how Maura imagined the night going, but, this was just as good. And, she still had her bedroom set up.
"I love you, Jane. So much. You have no idea just how much you've changed me and for the better. Other people tried to change me because they thought I was weird, or boring. But, you opened me up. You taught me how to read social cues better, and how much I'm actually worth. That I deserve more than a few dates that won't turn into anything in the end. They were just distractions for me. I always thought we had something more than friends, but, I didn't know if I was reading things wrong or not. I had planned to find out tonight, and well, the kiss was a bit spur of the moment. I mean, wait. Don't get me wrong. I was planning on kissing you, but, that's not how it was going to happen. And I'm rambling."
Maura smiled slowly, and clasped her hands behind Jane's head looking into her eyes.
"Jane, I just want to know if you're okay with loving me and wanting to be with me because if you are, I want to be more than best friends. I want to go on dates with you, hold your hand in public, kiss you whenever I want, and all the rest," she smirked slightly.
"Is that so? All the rest, huh? And what exactly does that imply, Doctor Smartypants?" Rizzoli grin stuck in place on her face as her eyes shined with amusement.
Maura practically purred, "well Detective. If you continue to kiss me like you were, you may just find out."
"Is that a fact? Because it seems like we've been dating for quite a while and I have a lot of kissing to make up for."
"I believe so, Jane. But, if you want, you can follow me and find out."
Maura dropped her arms from around Jane and started heading towards her bedroom. Her hips swayed just a little more than usual. Jane couldn't keep her eyes from looking. She slowed her breathing down and rubbed her palms on her pants. She had no idea what Maura had planned but she didn't want to mess it up. Jane made her way to the master bedroom and took one last deep breath before opening the door slowly.
"Maura, I don't know what you have plan-…" Jane stops mid-sentence at the sight before her. Her breathing starts to pick up and her heart starts beating loudly in her chest. Her eyes darken and her pupils dilate just the slightest bit more. She knows she's staring, but she can't help it.
