Hello guys! Well here I am with the 7th chapter! I can now officially tell you that the next chapter (the 8th one) will be the ending to this story!
Sorry for the slightly late update! I'm not sure if I'll be able to update the final chapter today cause I have to go to a removal later on this evening, so I might not be...just depends on what time we come back at!
Can I just warn you guys that I have rated this chapter at `T` because I don't think it exactly fits the K+ rating...my really sad attempt at romance!

Open Your Eyes: Ch.6 Lights will guide you home part 2.
Four months had passed by and Patrick Jane found himself standing outside the home of Teresa Lisbon. He nervously looked at his reflection in the glass window and made sure his hair stood correctly on his head.
Over at Grace Van pelts apartment, Rigsby was waiting for his girlfriend to open the door. He stuck his hands in his pockets and heard her call "I'm coming!"
He didn't need to be a psychic to know that she was checking herself out in the mirror just inside the door, adding the last few touches to her makeup and hair no doubt.
He heard the door click and watched as his beauty was revealed.
Over at Chos dates place, he pulled up outside the typical family house in a calm housing estate in his Harley.
Walking up to the house, he was greeted by the sight of the spiky haired nurse in dark skinny jeans, a plain purple top, a buttoned up vest (A miniature version of Jane's, thought Cho) and converse trainers.
Her grin widened when she saw the smile of Cho` s face and the bike parked at the end of the small drive.
"You ride a Harley?!" she exclaimed and Cho nodded, pleased that he had made the night start off well.
"Oh, my God! That is so freakin` awesome, are we going to the pizzeria in it?!" Cho nodded as he made his way to the Harley while he linked his arm with his date and they hopped on.
"Woah" Rigsby was truly lost for words as he gazed at his girlfriend.
"You like?" she asked, doing a little twirl for him and he nodded
"You look...hot!" he grinned and grace smiled at the compliment as he embraced her and she kissed him all the way to his mustang.
"Why thank you Wayne" she smiled, giving him another quick peck on the lips and sat in. He knew bringing his gold mustang with the black stripe running down the bonnet was a good idea. How much luck could he get in the one night?
Jane began to grow impatient.
He had been waiting almost 35 minutes in the cold in a t-shirt and Jeans. Couldn't she have bought a house that had a bit of shelter outside? A few trees couldn't hurt surely. He knocked on the door and heard shuffling inside.
"Teresa you in?" he asked, but strangely got no reply. Knocking again, he called out pressing speed dial 1 while he was at it. "Teresa, c'mon open up! Our pizzas are getting cold!"
He saw a light flick off on the landing and a small frame make her way down the staircase and right before the door.
"I can see you!" he grinned as she undid all the safety locks inside the door. He remembered counting six last time he had visited, but knowing Teresa she probably had a seventh drilled on.
"I know you can" she smiled and his Jaw hit the floor. She wore a top effect black one shouldered top, wet look silvery black ankle leggings and black ballerina pumps. She had straightened her hair (which Jane secretly loved), while she done a smoky effect with her eyes, lashings of mascara, slight shimmer to her cheeks and a hint of lip gloss.
He walked inside as she entwined his fingers with hers and embraced her.
"Can I say you look exceptionally beautiful tonight Teresa?"
"Oh you know, I try" She did her best to keep a casual yet serious face on, but it immediately disappeared when Jane began to grin knowingly at her and she chuckled, bringing her arms to wrap around his neck.
"I missed you" he whispered, as he pressed his forehead against hers and she looked into his big blue eyes.
"I missed you too. It was way to quiet without you" she whispered back thinking back on the dreadful conference she had attended for the last week and a half in L.A.
"Oh I'm sure Cho entertained you" he answered and the sides of her lips began to twitch.
"He was ringing and texting Mel alot. I did manage to get him talking though...which is good. I wish I could've brought you. The hotel room was really nice with a king sized bed and an amazing view of the city. You would have loved it" She continued as he raised his eyebrows at the thought.
"Why didn't you?"
"Two reasons really. Cho had no choice but to come since he`s an agent and just under me in the promotional grid and if I brought you, you would be bored stupid. Really, I was bored enough as it was imagine you trying to entertain yourself? The curtains would slowly become entertaining to watch"
"If I were with you providing Cho wasn't in the room, I could have various ways to entertain myself especially with you and that king sized bed" he grinned, waggling his eyebrows and she lead him over to the couch and pushed him into the centre of it, while she straddled him and ran her hands up his chest and curled them around her small waist.
"Maybe we don't need to wait for that king sized bed in LA" she whispered as she winked at him and crashed her lips against his as he gave into temptation and kissed her back, pulling her closer and stopped when she tried to pull off his top.
"Not now Teresa" he said, kissing her on the tip of her nose and she looked slightly hurt as she tried to get off him.
"I mean not right now and here. How about after we come home from the pizzeria when we can have the night to ourselves?" he suggested as she seemed ok with that. She stood up with him following in her footsteps and turned around dramatically and caught him staring at her.
"Are you checking out my ass?" she asked and he made eye contact with her...unfortunately for him.
"No...No of course not, I wasn't I was looking at your top"
"Oh sure you were. Now look who the bad liar is!" she laughed as she turned off the lights, while leaving the porch light on and holding his hand while they made their way down the pathway surrounded by flowers and heathers.
"Ok maybe I was! But-but I was looking at your top"
"For what reasons?" she asked, suspiciously glancing down at the front of her top.
"It's just...no I'm not gonna say it" he said abruptly sticking the keys into the handle of the passenger side door and unlocking it, as he held it open waiting for her to sit in.
"Please say it. I'd love to hear what you have to say" she nodded and he rolled his eyes in anger at himself when he walked around the car to his side.
"It's ripped. How did you manage that, walk through a hedge?" he asked and Teresa shook her head at his stupidity.
"The only reason I'm not yelling at you right now is because I know that you really aren't trying to be a sarcastic jackass, but Patrick it's a design Haven't you ever seen it on denim jeans?"
Jane looked clueless while Teresa added. "Surely with all the women you've known in your adventurous lifetime, you've seen it" She shrugged and Jane sort of gave her that look.
"Well most of the women I knew weren't wearing any Jeans"
Lisbon rolled her eyes. She should've known he`d come out with something like that.
"It looks lovely on you though. It makes your eyes stand out. That's a good thing" he added and she smiled as they drove away and to the pizzeria.
She couldn't believe all this was all happening. Her dream had come true. She had an amazing Job, Amazing friends, a good home and...She had the best boyfriend she could possibly have imagined.
She knew this how? No one else she knew would save her from a burning building while risking his life, confess everything to her, always being honest and there for her in her hour of need and mostly, because he was the first guy who truly loved her for who she was and not letting her past get caught up in their future.
Then everything became so much clearer to her 2 and half years later.
Open your eyes chapter 6: lights will guide you home part 2.
Maybe now you guys see why I rated it as a T??? So whatcha guys think? I know it was way different to the whole story and all of my other ones!
I'm sorry if this chapter disappointed some of you but I promise you chapter 8 will be a treat! I personally have a soft spot for it myself and I can't wait to hear what you guys think of it when I post it over the weekend! I know the ending was kinda cheesy...I'm sorry!
Thank you for reading!
