8:01 pm Jane was knocking on Maura's door. "You're late."

"It's only one minute after 8 Maura."

"So that makes you one minute late. If you were on time you would have knocked on the door at 8."

"Ok. You got me. I'm soooo late." Jane could only smile with that comment.

"What did you bring?"

"Jo Friday." Jane set Jo down to go find her friend Bass.

"Ha ha."

"I decided on The Terminator."

"Never heard of it."

"You know, Arnold Schwarzenegger…I'll be back."

"Where are you going? You just got here." Jane did all she could do not to smack the palm of her hand against her forehead. She's so cute when she is oblivious.

"It's a famous line from the movie. You'll see what I mean when we watch the movie."

"I was just about to start popping some popcorn. You want to help?"

"Lead the way Dr. Isles."

Jane followed Maura over to her kitchen and began to help Maura get the stuff ready to make popcorn. As they were popping the corn and melting some butter to go on top Jane grabbed the dish towel to wipe the butter off her hands. As she was wiping her hands a wicked thought came to mind how about some payback. Maura had her back towards Jane while she was watching the corn popping not wanting it to burn. Little did she know that Jane was hatching an evil plan behind her. Jane took the towel and wound it up. The only sound that could be heard in the kitchen was what sounded like the cracking of a whip.

Maura jumped in the air almost knocking the popcorn and butter on to the floor immediately holding her rear where the focus of sound had landed. "Ouch Jane. What was that for?"

"I told you as I was leaving your office that paybacks are a bitch." She could only grin from ear to ear while she was holding the weapon.

"You'll rue the day you messed with Dr. Maura Isles."

"Oooo. I'm shaking in my boots."

"You're not wearing any boots."

"Figure of speech Maur."

The girls finished making the popcorn and went over to the couch. Maura sat down while Jane grabbed the DVD, put it in the player, and hit play. Jane went back to the couch and sat at her respectable end. Maura did as she always did and stretched her legs on top of Jane's. All Jane could think was why is this so comfortable? I could do this every night. I wouldn't mind doing this every night. I think I need to have a talk with myself to figure out what is going on with me and these thoughts. Jane was soon interrupted out of her thoughts by Maura.

"Oh wow. Is that Bill Paxton? With a mohawk? He was so young and goofy looking."

"Wow. Maura has learned a little pop culture."

"I absolutely love Titanic. That is why I remember him."

Further into the movie Jane had to prop her legs up on the coffee table and stretched her arms on the top of the couch. Maura then shifted herself to where she was sitting next to Jane and leaned into her side and laid her head on in the niche of Jane's arm. Friends can do this right? She is so comfortable to snuggle against. Her heartbeat is so soothing. Those were the last of Maura's thoughts before falling asleep.

Jane welcomed the company of Maura in her arms. One thing she wasn't going to do was stop her. The part of the movie came that Jane tried to tell Maura about. "See Maur, this is the part I was trying to tell you about." Not getting any response Jane looked down at her friend and noticed that she had fallen asleep. Jane watched the rest of the movie and shut the TV off. She laid there in silence not wanting to move and wake Maura. Before she knew it Jane and Maura were sharing the same breathing pattern as now both were asleep.

As Jane slowly began to wake up, the first thing she noticed was her body seemed crammed in an awkward position, creating a sore sensation throughout her muscles. She opened her eyes and realized she had fallen asleep on the couch. She looked down to see Maura who resting soundly on her chest, making her smile momentarily at the unguarded doctor. Maybe we are having the same thoughts. I don't know what is going on. I think I am starting to have feelings for her. Jane started to get nervous because she did not want Maura thinking she was attracted to her, not when she was not entirely sure herself. Jane slowly slipped herself out from under Maura. The ME only stirred a little bit but Jane regretted standing up as soon as she was on her feet. She missed the feeling of the ME cuddled against her. This only made Jane more nervous. Please stay asleep so I don't have to explain why I am so nervous.

Jane decided to grab her DVD later. She was starting to get hot. I need some fresh air. She grabbed Jo Friday who was snuggled with her best friend Bass and headed for the door. Jane let herself out quietly and made sure she locked the door behind her. What is happening to me? Jane got in her car and headed home.

Inside Maura awoke to a car engine starting, her first though consisting of, Where's Jane? She sat up and looked all around her. She saw Bass without Jo Friday snuggled up to him. I wonder why she went home? She walked over to the door and looked out the small window next to it and saw Jane pulling out of the driveway and heading in the direction of her apartment.

Maura walked over to the counter where her phone was sitting and looked at the time. It was ten minutes before 5:30 am, the time she would usually get up. She must have headed home to get her shower before work. But she doesn't usually get up until later. Maura could only sit there and wonder why her friend headed home when she would usually stay.

Unlocking her phone she decided to text Jane to see if everything was okay.

Is everything ok? You left rather quickly this morning. M.

Setting her phone down Maura changed into her yoga clothes, grabbed her mat, and started her everyday ritual of yoga in the morning.

As soon as Jane pulled in her driveway her phone started buzzing letting her know she had a text. She was not sure if she wanted to look at it but she decided it would be better so Maura did not end up worrying about her too much.

Is everything ok? You left rather quickly this morning. M.

Jane stayed as calm as she could, trying to decide whether she should answer her back or ignore it and act like she never got it. She decided it would be rude to not answer her back.

Woke up feeling a little sick. She cringed at her lie. Just gonna grab a shower and I'll see you at work. J.

Jane knew Maura probably would not buy her flimsy excuse but hoped she would let her have the benefit of the doubt. Jane grabbed Jo and headed for her apartment. She felt safe as soon as she stepped inside. Letting Jo down to romp about she headed for the shower ready to get the day started.

Woke up feeling a little sick. Just gonna grab a shower and I'll see you at work. J.

Being a doctor, Maura did not buy that Jane was sick. She didn't look sick last night. I doubt she got a bug that quick. I hope I didn't scare her off by snuggling to her. Maura let her thoughts rest; she did not want to get too worked up especially after finishing her morning yoga. She set her phone down and headed for the shower ready to get her day started.

As soon as Jane got to the BPD she headed for her usual morning spot. "Morning Ma."

"Good morning Janie. What's wrong, are you feeling okay?" Angela hurried from behind the counter bringing her hand up to feel Jane's forehead about as fast as Jane was trying to dodge her mom's hand.

"Ma! I'm okay. Just didn't sleep too well that's all."

"Well you look horrible."

"Thanks. Can I just get a coffee please?"

"Yes sweetie. One coffee coming right up." Angela turned on her heels and headed behind the counter to make her daughter her coffee.

"You know Jane, you really do need to do something about those periorbital dark circles."

Jane had not even realized Maura had come in until she was behind her speaking. Jane swore she could feel Maura's breath on the back of her neck. The shot a jolt through Jane she could not understand. Jane stood up and said hey to Maura.

"I didn't know you had come in." Jane ran a shaky hand through her mane.

"You had your back turned."

"Yeah. I guess I did."

"Here's your coffee sweetie." Angela came from behind the counter and handed Jane her coffee. "Just how you like it."

"Thanks Ma. I gotta go. I'll catch up with you later Maur." With that said Jane was out of the café, into the elevator, and headed up to the bullpen before either woman could blink an eye.

"I never know what's going on with that girl." Angela let out a loud sigh.

"She has been acting a little strange lately."

"You don't think its drugs do you Maura?"

"No. She doesn't show any signs classical symptoms of drug habits. Dilated pupils, weight loss, impaired coordination, hyperactivity, paranoia..." Maura rattled off.

"She better not be 'cause I'll have to kick her butt into next week if she is."

Maura could only laugh at the horrified look on Angela's face at the thought of her daughter being on drugs. Maura bid Angela goodbye and headed to the elevators to take her down to the morgue so she could begin her day.
