Jane woke up excited to get the day started. She was tired from getting home late or was it early? Jane remembered her evening with Korsak, Frost, Maura, and Frankie at the Dirty Robber.
"So Maura. You ready for your first baseball game tomorrow?" Jane asked as she took a sip of her favorite beer.
"I'm more than ready. I have been so excited I have even done some research on the team."
"What about the green monster?"
"The green monster?" Maura was shocked to think that some kind of supernatural being could have any part in an American past time. "What is that?"
Jane could only chuckle to herself because of the look of shock and seriousness on Maura's face. "Don't worry Maur, it's not like a real monster that goes ooga booga." Jane raised her hands above her head making something to the effect of monster paws.
"I know it isn't a real monster. They don't exist."
"What about Cookie Monster. He exists." Jane couldn't decide if being around Maura was making her giddy or if it was the third beer she was on.
"What's a Cookie Monster?" Maura had a look of serious inquisition on her face.
"Wow Maura. You were really deprived as a child."
"Yeah. Who doesn't know Cookie Monster?" A buzzed Frankie came over and added his two-cents in before going back over to Frost and challenging him to a game of darts.
"Cookie Monster is a muppet that was on a show called Sesame Street."
Maura just stared at her quizzically. "So what is the green monster?"
"At Fenway Park out in left field there is this really big wall. They call it the green monster because it is so tall. It is so intimidating to look at it. It's really cool. You used to not be able to sit on the green monster but not too long ago they added seats."
"So they call it the green monster because it is a big green wall?"
"Yeah."
Jane remembered her and Maura's conversation about the green monster. Jane made her way into the shower and when she was done she took Jo for her routine walk in the morning.
"Guess what girl. Mommy gets to sit along first base line right at the fence. And guess who gets to go with mommy?" Almost as if Jo understood what she was saying she looked up at her owner, raised her ears and cocked her head to the side.
Jane bent down and scratched Jo behind the ears and said "mommy gets to go with Maura and mommy is excited." Jo looked at Jane and started wagging her tail. As to mimic Jane's excitement Jo jumped into her lap and started licking her face. "Okay. Mommy needs to go find her favorite Jersey so she can get ready to go see Maura."
Jane let Jo hop off her lap and she headed to her bedroom to find her favorite Dustin Pedroia jersey so she could get ready and head over to Maura's.
Maura was digging through her closet trying to find the best outfit to wear for a day out at Fenway Park. I wonder what Jane would like? Maura had to stop herself from digging through her clothes to think clearly for a minute.
Maura sat on the edge of her bed, brows furrowed in deep concentration. Before she could go further in choosing her outfit she decided she needed to figure out the confused feelings she has been having for Jane lately.
What have I been feeling lately? When I see Jane I feel dopamine being released. When she gets close I feel fenylethylamine being released. I know adrenaline kicks in because I can feel my heart rate increase. What else is there? I feel oxytocin released when I snuggle to her on the couch. Jane always seems to make me happy and I know those are endorphins I feel kicking in.
Am I having real feelings for Jane? The dopamine, fenylethylamine, adrenaline, oxytocin, and endorphins are telling me I am. Am I falling in love with Jane? I think I might be. With this thought Maura smiled wide at the thought of her best friend being her real LLBFF. The endorphins started kicking in and lead Maura to more happy thoughts.
I know that I love spending time with her and everything just feels right when I am around her. But does she feel the same. Maura suppressed her smile at the thought of Jane not liking her the same way Maura was starting to like her. Maura pushed the clothes she had on her bed to the side and she laid down resting her head on her pillow continuing in deep thought. She is hard to read sometimes but I swear I caught her staring the other morning when I was doing my Yoga.
Then the same morning when she was showing me how to do the eggs her touch was different. Maura grabbed her arm remembering where Jane had her hand. It almost felt loving and not just showing me how to stir the eggs. Maura could only smile again thinking about the way Jane had touched her arm.
Well I guess there is only one way to see if she feels the same. I need to go shopping. Because Maura has her OCD tendencies, she put all pieces of clothing she had strewn about her room in their correct places. Twenty minutes later she had her keys in hand and was headed out the door when she saw Bass.
"Mommy is going to go pick a nice outfit that Jane will hopefully like. I'll see you in a bit." After bidding goodbye to her tortoise Maura headed out the door, got into her Prius, and headed out to Mickey's Sports store.
The dinging of the door chimed, announcing Maura's presence. The middle-aged gentleman turned around from laying out a new display of baseball cards, smiled, and said "hello. Anything I can help you find ma'am?"
"Yes sir. Do you have any of those babydoll tees with the Boston Red Sox Logo on?"
"Yes ma'am, I sure do. Let me show you where they are." The man came out from behind the counter with his walking stick and with a slight limp he guided Maura over to where the women's t-shirts were located. The gentleman gestured with his arm to the rack of women's t-shirts that he had. "Will these do ma'am?"
"Sure will…" Maura paused not knowing the man's name to thank him.
"The name's Mickey. If you need anything else I'll be right over there messing with that display.
"Thank you Mickey." Maura smiled and turned to the rack of women's t-shirts trying to find the perfect one that would catch Jane's attention. Finding the shirt she wanted she headed over to the counter where Mickey was struggling with the display.
"Done already ma'am?"
"Yes sir. I needed to get a shirt with the Red Sox logo on it," which wasn't a lie but she wasn't going to fully disclose the full intention of buying the shirt, "today is my first game. Me and my friend are going."
"Wow. You hit the jackpot then. The classic rivalry between the Sox and the Yankees is a hard one to get into. Your total will be $13.90."
Maura handed over her credit card which Mickey swiped with ease. "Your receipt is in the bag ma'am. Thank you for shopping at my store."
"My pleasure Mickey. Thank you." Maura grabbed her bag off the counter and headed back to her car to head home so she could finish getting ready for her date? When Maura got home she all but sprinted up the stairs excited to get ready and for Jane to come over.
It was 11:30 am and Jane was walking up to Maura's door. Jane knocked on the door not wanting to barge in her friend's house. Jane heard the distinct clicking of heels coming up to the door before it opened. When Maura opened the door Jane did all she could to keep her jaw from dropping to the ground. Jane found herself staring at the cleavage that was in the open doorway. Jane's eyes finally made it up to Maura's and she was able to stammer out "H-h-hey Maur. You ready for the game?"
Maura was proud of herself for the reaction she was able to get out of Jane. She was wearing the new t-shirt she bought at Mickey's Sports store. She chose the most low cut and form fitting t-shirt she could find. She paired the shirt with tight jeans and red heels. "We don't have to leave quite yet do we?"
"Nah. We can hang out for a couple but I want to make sure we get there early enough cause I wanna show you around the stadium seeing as how it will be your first time there and all." Jane could feel herself getting more nervous by the second. I don't think she realizes what she is doing to me right now.
"That sure is an interesting outfit you chose to go to a baseball game in." Jane could only stare at the rear stretched in denim that was walking in front of her leading her into the house.
"You like it? I ran out this morning and got this t-shirt so I could be more festive for the occasion."
Festive isn't quite the word. Sexy as hell is more like it. "Well you'll probably have a bunch of drunk horn dogs on your case if that is what you are choosing to wear."
"That's okay. That is what I have you for." Maura turned her head and winked at Jane causing Jane to almost melt into a puddle. Maura turned around to face Jane. Jane was so lost in staring at Maura's rear that she almost walked right into her not realizing she had come to a stop.
"Have me for what?" Jane had to ask because she didn't quite catch all of what Maura was saying seeing as how her mind was otherwise preoccupied. Jane had stopped only mere inches away from Maura and could not help staring at her supple cleavage. Jane could feel the blush rising on the back of her neck.
"I have you to protect me from all of the, what did you call them, oh yes, drunk horn dogs." Maura was staring up into Jane's dark eyes. Jane I think I am falling in love with you.
Jane was matching the intense stare she was receiving from Maura. Can I kiss you, please? Before Jane knew it she slowly started ducking her head about to make her move whether Maura liked it or not. She needed to know. She couldn't dance around her feelings for the ME anymore.
Maura felt her heart rate quicken. This is it. She could feel herself slowly rising wanting to meet Jane halfway.
Next thing they knew they heard a ruckus and someone barging in the side door. Both snapped to attention waiting to see what or who was coming in.
