I own nothing.
"I'm sorry to leave so soon but he's my ride."
"No it's fine, I should talk with Susie and get going anyway. Garrett has early service tomorrow."
"Service?"
"Garrett?"Jane and Frost ask at the same time.
"Garrett, my husband he's a pastor."
"That sounds like the beginning of a bad joke. 'A Pastor's wife and two homosexuals at a love guru..."
"Thats no where near funny Frost, now go wait for me in the car."
"I just want you to know, I voted no on Action eight, or was it yes, I don't remember but I know I voted the right way. I voted your way, the gay way." Maura says when Frost is out of earshot.
"Why thank you very much. I'm free Monday afternoon if you want to get together then."
"How about noonish?"
"Noonish it is. See you later Maura." Jane says not waiting to hear a reply.
"Maura?" Susie asks as she comes to stand next to her friend watching her stare after Jane.
"Humm?" She hums not once taking hers eyes of the back of the mesmerizing brunette.
"You don't know it yet but you found it."
"Found what Susie?" Maura asks turning her attention on her friend when the the car is no longer visible.
"Your twin flame."
"Susie, please. I am a married woman."
"But are you a happily married woman? I see the way you look at Garrett and I saw the way you looked at Jane, you got the looks switched. You look at Jane the way you should be looking at Garrett, and you just met the woman yesterday, you've been married to Garrett for fifteen years and I've never seen you look at him with the love like that. Tell me you love Garrett." Susie says, and Maura knows that she can't say she she loves her husband without getting hives.
"Susie why are you doing this?"
"Because you ,my friend, are in are in a loveless marriage."
"So are my parents and they have been married for over fifty years."
"Because they were in love once upon a time ago. You can divorce that wanna be pastor and start something beautiful with the person you are meant to be with."
"You know how my parents feel about divorce, Susie."
"Screw your parents! It's time you do something that you want to do, do something that makes you feel good."
"We are done having this conversation Susie." Maura says getting her stuff.
"Maur-"
"It's done Susie." Maura says walking away.
"Hey MBS, Nash and PBS went to the golf course." Tory says as Maura walks into the house that night.
"Hello Tory, can you remind me what those stands for again?"
"Mama Bear Substitute, Pappa Bear Substitute."
"Right well I guess its a girls night in then."
"Cool, chick flicks and rom com binge-a-thon. I'll start the popcorn."
Monday afternoon-ish….
"Hello Jane, I'm so sorry I'm late, I couldn't find my keys and you won't believe me when I tell you where I found them."
"Umm the refrigerator?"
"No, the front door. I forgot to take them out when I came back from the store this morning."
"Well I would be lying if I told you I have never done that. I even put them in the microwave one time." Jane says shaking her head at the memory.
"It wasn't on was it?"
"Thankfully it was not on."
"I don't mean any harm but I have to pick Nash and Tory up from school at two."
"Wow looking at you I would never had thought you had two kids."
"Oh I don't, I'm watching them for my neighbor." Maura says putting her portfolio down on the bench table.
"Oh well let's get to business then."
"Lets."
"Oh she is adorable." Jane says looking at a picture of a little girl in a pink dress.
"I love photographing children. They are so innocent, and they show everything they feel, tell you what they think even when it's something they shouldn't say to someone."
"I love this one. Woman are so much more complex than men. Soft on the outside but hard on the inside and vise versa some time, and that's what made me want to do this campaign to show what a woman is really truly capable of." Jane says looking at the silhouette of a woman holding her hair piled on top of her head.
"That's me actually." Maura says once Jane has stopped speaking.
"Well it seems you can model as well as you can take the picture." The brunette says smiling brightly at Maura.
"Thank you, Jane" The blonde says smiling back.
"Well I have seen enough. You're hired."
"I'll draw up some contract for you to sign." Does Sunday work for you?
"Sure."
"See you later Jane." Maura says leaning to hug Jane and almost kissing her right on the lips. "I'm sorry." Maura says and she can't stop the blush when she thinks of how close she just came to kissing this beautiful woman.
"No, it's fine, no harm no foul." Jane says as Maura gets up to leave, both of them wearing matching smiles.
"What are you doing Rizzoli?" Jane says to herself when Maura is gone, "she's straight and she's married, to a freaking pastor."
Sunday outside Jane's house….
"How do you of all people manage to run out of coffee?" Frost ask as he walks walks down the steps to Jane's house.
"Okay thank you very much. Later." Jane says taking the coffee and pushing Frost back towards the driveway.
"What's with you hot pants?"
"I have a business meeting." Jane says looking over Frost shoulder as a red SUV pulls up in the driveway.
"Here, on a Sunday?" Frost asks.
"Yes really, thank you very much for this. Now leave. Love you mean it." Jane says.
"Hi. Barry, right?" Maura says as she comes to stand with them.
"Hey! Yea, right," Frost says turning back to, "business meeting got it. Nice seeing you again Maura."
"Why don't you go ahead inside Maura."
"Sure, okay." The blonde says going inside.
"Hey. You remember when I told you to do good stuff? I didn't mean do straight married stuff." Frost tells Jane slapping her arm.
"Okay don't start. Please." Jane says taking a deep breath before going into her house.
"Is this you? I mean your story?" Maura asks as she holds up the book titled, 'Trust? Who needs it?: An Agoraphobics Memoir'
"Yeah." Jane answers as she comes closer to Maura, the blonde turns to face her.
"When I think of an agoraphobia, I think of 'Grey Gardens' and huddled in corners with a ton of cats." Maura says looking back down at the back off the book as Jane speaks.
"Yeah, well the meds help us appear a bit more tolerable."
"I would never had known. But can I make a suggestion?"
"Yea sure."
"You need a new author's photo. This one just doesn't do you justice."
"It's not really about what I look like in my line of business, it's about my words." Jane says, but Maura presses on.
"Nonsense. I'm going to do a new author's photo for you my gift." Maura says with a face Jane knows she can't refuse.
"Okay." Jane simple says with a single nod of her had and a smile on her face that matches the Maura has.
The next few days the two women spend Time getting to know each other. They walk around the park. Spend time talking at Jane's house where they can be to themselves. Maura invites Jane to a picnic the she, Suzie, Brian, Nash and Tori are having the next day and Jane agrees without a second's hesitation.
"What's up with her? Nash whispers to Susie when he sees Maura picking at the the blanket they all are sitting on. She simply shrugs her shoulder in reply, moments later Jane arrives apologizing for her tardiness.
"This is my part time son." Maura says jokingly as she ruffles Nash's hair.
"Nash, nice to meet you. And you must be Tori."
"And you must be the writer." Tori replys quickly before continuing, "you know what my dream job would be? Research assistant. I would do the deepest meanest , most intimate statistical research on any given topic, and I would correlate and extrapolate and I would give meaning, meaning too every single part and it would be so amazing!" Tori finishes just as Brian, whom she had been playing chess with, makes a move.
"Checkmate, I win."
"What?"
And that is why you never take-" Brian starts.
"Your eye off the ball." And Tori finishes.
"Please darling, don't eviscerate the poor child." Susie says wrapping an arm around her husband.
"Hey Sus, tell Jane the story." Tori says.
"Alright if you insist. So this earnest young writer comes to Hollywood to make his mark, you know all Youngblood Hawke, very soon he realizes that life is seldom the stuff of romance. So he busy himself a Lexus….." Susie start the story but soon Maura has faded away into her mind as she gave at the beautiful woman that sits before her.
Her shoulder length ebony hair moving with the wind. The place where her cleavage recedes further into her shirt, a shirt hiding well shape-.
The blonde snaps herself out of the inappropriate thoughts, zoning back in too Susie story at the end.
"And she says 'perchance, did you drive a white Lexus?'"
"No, don't even say." Jane exclaims, shocked by the ending of the story.
"The owner of the clunker turns out to be the very assistant that gave him his start. Can you believe it? They would come at the exact same time? That is soulemetry. Three months later they were married!" Susie finishes her story and Jane looks over at Maura, and when she does she can't help the radiating smile she gives her.
