A/N: Hey Everyone. Please don't be mad at me. I usually am able to update twice a week and this week I have only done it once. School has been getting pretty hectic for me. So again I apologize. Thank you everyone that has reviewed, keep 'em coming. Totally love hearing what you all have to say. I hope you enjoy this chapter and please review and let me know what you think =o)
Kiss me Jane.
Jane didn't realize how deeply she was staring into Maura's eyes until the sound of drunken fans started chanting "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" snapped her back into reality.
Maura was disappointed when Jane pulled away. When she did so, Maura realized she was holding onto the ball she almost fell over the fence trying to catch. Holding the ball in the air with a huge grin the crowd who saw the spectacle started clapping and cheering for the ME.
"Dang Maur, that was pretty good technique. Are you sure you never played baseball before?"
"I'm quite sure. You just wish you can be as good as me," she winked in Jane's direction.
"Yeah, well anything you can do, I can do better."
"I disagree Jane. You can't do an autopsy so you could never be better than me at that."
Jane tried to reply but when she opened her mouth to respond she couldn't think of anything to say.
"I've stumped the great Detective Rizzoli. That doesn't happen very much. I have to say I am very proud of myself.
"Yea Yea. You're lucky, I'll let you have that one." Jane leaned in Maura's direction to where their shoulders were touching. Both girls enjoying the touch sat in silence and turned their attention to the game in front of them.
The game up until the bottom of the ninth had been pretty uneventful. The Yankees did end up rallying and scoring a run to tie the game at 3-3. Jane loved the rivalry between the Red Sox and the Yankees but the one thing she hated was the somewhat boring nature of the game. Most of the games would be low scorers and this game proved to be one of those.
Now that it was the bottom of the ninth and the home team had the last at bat Jane was now getting excited. "Alright Maur. Our boys have a chance to win the game right now."
"Yes, I remember studying this part. The home team has the final chance to win the game by scoring a run. If they are unsuccessful then they go into extra innings to try and decide the outcome of who the winner is. The home team has the last at-bat."
"You sure did your studying."
"That was always one of my best qualities." Maura got lost in her thought for a couple of seconds thinking about when she was in school and what she considered her best feature was studying.
I have to disagree. "No, your insatiable need to soak up information is one of your best qualities."
"Thank you Jane." Maura was elated to have such a compliment come from Jane.
"Anytime." Jane smiled at Maura. "Alright! Big Papi is coming up to hit. I hope he still has it in him to hit one out of the yard. Come on Baby lets win this!" Jane shouted at David Ortiz.
The Yankee closer threw a misplaced fastball down the middle of the strike zone. It was almost in slow motion, it seemed to Jane, as Ortiz took a step in the direction of the pitch quickly bringing his bat around swinging. The crack of the bat was unmistakable. Jane knew it was going out of the park just by hearing the sound of the ball coming off the bat.
Maura's excellent math skills was telling her that the velocity of the swing compared to that of the pitch was going to send the ball anywhere between 390-400 feet which was a home run according to the numbers on the wall indicating the feet from home plate certain sections of the wall were.
Maura hadn't realized how in-tuned to the game she was until she felt herself jumping with excitement as soon as she had the calculations figured in her head. As she was jumping she realized a second too late she had a beer Jane had bought her earlier still in her hands. Before she could catch herself the foamy brew was all over Jane. Maura was able to stop her jump and had a look of horror on her face looking at a beer drenched Jane.
"Jane, I'm so sorry. I just got caught up in the moment." Maura spoke through the two hands she was holding up to her mouth.
Jane looked wide eyed at Maura mostly because of the shock of being drenched with cold beer. What Jane did next surprised Maura, she jumped out of her seat and started cheering and whistling because her team one. After her excitement passed she turned to Maura and said "it's alright. You're driving though cause if we got pulled over they would definitely think I was way too intoxicated."
Jane hugged Maura to let her know it was okay but mostly to get a little payback because Maura didn't want a beer soaked Jane hugging her. Maura did her best to back up but couldn't because of the small space between seats. She held up her hands in front of her trying to keep Jane at bay but was unsuccessful.
"Don't you worry Jane Rizzoli," Maura was wagging her finger at her and in a mock stern tone she said, "paybacks are a bitch."
The game had ended and the girls headed out to their car but decided to stop at one of the still open gift shops to pick up some souvenirs. Thirty minutes later the girls were finally in the car ready to leave after picking up shirts for them and for Jane's brothers and a couple number one foam fingers. Both were content with the evening and Jane was more than ready to get home to get out of her beer soaked clothes.
Jane and Maura came in the front door of Maura's house with Jane giggling at Maura because it was the first time she'd eaten a hotdog.
"See Maur, I told you they're good."
"Yeah, I see that, three hotdogs later." Maura laughed at herself remembering looking at the hotdog like it was some form of alien food, then ended up eating three more hotdogs.
The girls headed into Maura's room still talking about Maura's first experience at a baseball game. "I told you there would end up being drunk horn dogs there. And we had to be seated in a section full of them. Jane was about to reference when the drunks were chanting "Kiss!" but decided against bringing it up.
Jane went to sit on Maura's bed exhausted from the day's events.
"Whoa! Clothes off." Maura was standing in front of Jane with her hands on her hips.
"Excuse me?" Janes eyes got wide as saucers as she stared at Maura.
"If you lay on my bed with beer soaked clothes I'll have to change my sheets."
Oooohhhh. What were you thinking Rizzoli? "Yeah, well whose fault is that?" Jane said playfully as she stood up trying to give Maura an intimidating stare.
"Take 'em off and I'll throw them in the washer with some of mine." Maura held out her hand waiting for Jane to hand her clothes over.
Realizing her intimidating stare wasn't working Jane stood there, still wide-eyed, frozen in place not really sure what to do.
"Jane, you don't have anything I haven't seen before."
Jane instantly started blushing from head to toe. Maura never lied and Jane knew this was true. Maura helped her through all her hard times after she shot herself to save Frankie. So she knew Maura ended up seeing more than what she wanted her to see. Regardless she was still embarrassed thinking about it. Putting that thought to the side Jane turned around in a faint attempt for Maura to not see her undress.
"Come on Jane? What are you waiting for? Why are you so scared? Just give me the clothes already." Maura was slowly starting to get irritated because Jane was taking her time.
"Okay, I'm working on it," Jane huffed blowing a stray stand of hair out of her face.
Jane started taking her shirt off slowly. Maura couldn't help but stare in Jane's direction as Jane started undressing. Maura was enjoying how Jane's muscles moved while she was peeling her shirt off. I didn't realize she's as toned as she is.
Jane handed her shirt to Maura by reaching behind with her back still turned to Maura.
"Now your pants," Maura demanded trying to keep her cool with Jane's shirtless toned back still turned in her direction.
I wonder if I can get a reaction out of her? Jane slowly undid the button and zipper on her jeans. Even slower, she slid her pants down to her ankles and left her still panty clad rear in the air for a second longer than needed for added effect.
Maura started to blush all over as her eyes were transfixed on Jane's somewhat voluptuous rear. Mmmm. Did I just groan out load?
Did she just groan out load? Jane smiled to herself liking the effect she was having on Maura. She decided it wouldn't be best not to call Maura out on it. I don't want to make things too awkward until I know for sure. Jane stepped out of her pants one leg at a time, picked them up, and slowly handed them to Maura.
Maura took the jeans offered to her but not until she took in the goddess body standing before her. Her eyes were already cast downward from trying to hide her blush. She slowly looked up past toned calf muscles, to athletic thighs, then higher to a tight stomach, eyeing supple round breasts held by a black lacy bra. Maura's eyes then moved up to Jane's broad shoulders then finally locked her eyes with Jane.
The only sound in Maura's room was the heavy breathing coming from both women. Maura swore her mouth went dry when she told Jane "t-there are some of your clothes in my closet. An extra set that you always keep here."
"Oh yeah." Jane went over to Maura's closet and grabbed her extra set of clothes that were inside. Jane threw on her BPD shirt and jeans on and went and to sit next to Maura on the edge of her bed. Jane placed her hand on Maura's thigh and said "I really enjoyed our dat-er I mean the game with you."
"Me too Jane." Maura placed her hand on top of Jane's and held Jane's gaze.
Both were feeling some sort of electricity running between them. It's now or never Rizzoli. Just do it already. Jane couldn't help but lick her lips as she slowly leaned into Maura trying to desperately meet their lips. Just as Jane was leaning in the buzzing sound of her phone stopped her. Dammit.
Maura instantly felt the loss of Jane's presence when Jane reached for her buzzing phone.
Got a hit on the vehicle. Frost.
"Great. Looks like we got a hit on our victim's vehicle." I really don't want to go. "I'm gonna get going so I can take Jo out and look back over the case files so I can prepare for Monday. I'll talk with you later Maur. See you Monday?"
"Yes Jane. I'll see you on Monday. Be careful." Disappointed Jane was leaving Maura watched Jane walk out her bedroom door and seconds later heard the front door open and close followed by Jane's car starting and pulling out of the driveway. Laying back on her bed before sleep overtook her So close. One day Jane Rizzoli. One day.
