Well here is this week's chapter. I hope you enjoy and please be sure to leave a review. Thanks everyone for reading.

At 10pm Jane was still sitting at her desk watching the security footage and willing something to pop out at her. Frost Finally decided to leave at 8pm and Korsak at 9pm. Jane was determined to do everything she could to keep lunch with Maura out of her head.

I shouldn't have left Maura the way I did at lunch. I should have taken a better approach at telling her I don't want anything to come between our friendship. But what if I just ruined our friendship? I would love to be with Maura but I'm such a fuck up when it comes to relationships, I don't want to lose her. Dammit Rizzoli! What is your problem? You're not scared of anything. But why am I scared of us?

Jane rubbed her tired eyes and leaned back in her chair stretching her arms trying to get herself to focus on the security footage. Finally after hours of staring at the screen she decided it would be best to start with fresh eyes in the morning. On the way out Jane decided to head to the Dirty Robber for drinks.

Jane walked into the Dirty Robber feeling defeated both in her personal life and professional. This case was really getting to her, especially with whomever is doing the killings being so meticulous. We always have a lead by now but this asshole always seems to be one step ahead. Jane spotted Korsak sitting over at the bar and decided to join her partner. Even though Korsak is her former partner she still considers him her partner along with Frost.

Jane took the stool next to Korsak. "Hey partner, why the long face?"

Korsak sat his glass of whiskey down on the bar and looked at Jane. "You'll never guess who came back into my life today."

"I'm guessing the ex that got away."

"See, I always knew you were a great detective." Korsak was able to force half a smile then picked up his glass and stared down into the amber liquid. "She wants to come back into my life but as much as I love her son, I just don't think it would be a good idea. She's even trying to talk me into going in with her on opening a Yoga place."

"Well it sounds to me as if she is back for money and not you."

"Plus I kinda like someone else." Korsak added.

"Well if it has anything to do with my mom then I really don't want to know." Jane nudged Korsak with her elbow trying to get him to smile.

"I guess I won't tell you then." Korsak smiled a little.

"Eeewww."

"So why the long face for you?" Korsak inquired.

Jane carefully thought out her answer before speaking. "The case is just wearing me thin, that's all."

"That's not all Jane. What's going on between you and the doc?"

"Nothing, why?" Jane was quick to snap at her partner.

"Jane, I can tell there has been some distance between you and Maura the past couple of days. Don't forget, I'm a detective too and I can sniff these things out from a mile away." Korsak gave a smile. "You can tell me anything and you know it'll stay right here with me." Korsak put a fatherly hand on Jane's shoulder and patted her letting her know he was there for her.

"I like her Korsak, I like her a lot." Jane was now fingering the beer the bartender brought over.

"I know you like her. You two are the best of friends. You have been close for a long time."

Jane shyly said, "not just like that."

Korsak had a bit of a puzzled look on his face. "Oh, okay." Then it finally dawned on him what she really meant, "oooohhh…" Korsak let his next question formulate before asking. "So why the distance between you and Maura?"

"Because I like her more than just being her best friend."

"So?"

Jane was now starting to pick at the label on her beer. "I'm a fuck up when it comes to relationships and I am scared I would fuck us up. Then I would lose the best friend I have ever had."

"And does she feel the same way about you?"

"Yes. No. I don't know. She kissed me Saturday night." Jane finally took her first sip from the beer.

Korsak's eyes slowly widened. "Well I think that is a pretty clear sign that she likes you Janie."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Jane started to perk up more at the thought that Maura really does like her. "I kissed her too."

"Well I don't think it can slap you in the face anymore that it has that you two should be together. Have you told her how you feel?"

"Um. Kinda. But I was lying." Jane was now becoming embarrassed at how much of an ass she had acted towards Maura.

"What did you say?"

"Well I kinda told her I didn't want to be any more than just friends." Jane started feeling more and more like wanting to slap herself.

"If you didn't mean it then why did you say it?"

"Because it was what I thought I wanted. But I know now that isn't what I want." Jane now found the bar interesting to look at.

"Then what the hell are you doing here? You need to go to her and tell her how you really feel before you miss your chance."

Jane slapped her hand against the bar. "You know what? You're right." Jane stood from the bar and headed out to find Maura, a grinning Korsak watching her leave the Dirty Robber.

Maura headed over to the couch with a glass of wine in one hand and the newest medical journal to be released in the other. She headed over to the couch and sat her glass on the coffee table, sat down, and started to finger through the journal. Just as she leaned over to grab her glass to take a sip of her wine she noticed headlights pulling up into her driveway. It's too late for visitors, maybe someone is just turning around. Maura proceeded to put her nose back into the journal not noticing the lights of the vehicle still in her driveway.

Not a minute later there was a knocking at her door. I wonder who in the heck is coming to my home at this time of night? Maura proceeded to bookmark her journal and laid it on the coffee table next to her glass of wine. She then padded over to the door and called out "who is it?"

The voice on the other side startled Maura as she was not expecting the owner, "it's me Jane. Can we talk?"

You leave me like you did this afternoon and all of a sudden you want to talk now at 11 o'clock at night? Maura proceeded to unlock the door and opened it to reveal a frazzled looking Jane on the other side. "What are you doing here Jane?"

"I need to talk with you Maura." Jane was so nervous that she started mindlessly rubbing the scars on her hands.

"Well I think you did plenty of talking for the both of us this afternoon during lunch." Maura was now starting to feel the heat rise in her cheeks at the thought of Jane leaving her like she did at the Dirty Robber.

"I'm sorry Maur. Can I come in?"

"You can come in but you can stand right here in my foyer and tell me why you are here besides wanting to dig the knife deeper into my heart."

The last part of the sentence made Jane's heart drop into her stomach. I'm such an ass. Good job Rizzoli you probably really did fuck it up. "Umm…Umm…" Jane was now stuttering trying to get her feelings to come out.

"Out with it Detective Rizzoli." Maura was now getting flustered at the woman standing in front of her who was taking her away from her relaxing time.

"I'm sorry." Jane was now staring at her feet.

"Yes Jane, you already said that. If that is all you have to say then you can leave the same way you came in."

"That's not all." Jane was still staring at her feet.

"Well spit it out already, I don't have all night." A flustered Maura spit out.

"I don't want to be friends."

Now it was Maura's turn for her heart to drop into her stomach. So she really does want to dig the knife in deeper. Maura stared at Jane gob smacked with her jaw almost hitting the floor.

"No, wait, that didn't come out right." Jane was now wishing she had a glass of water to quench her parched mouth. "I don't want to be just friends."

Well what is that supposed to mean. Maura was now getting frustrated at Jane's unwillingness to communicate properly. Maura went to turn around and walk away from the tall brunette but stopped only because she felt a hand grab her wrist and spin her back around.

Fuck it, just do it already Rizzoli. Jane grabbed Maura's wrist and spun her back around to face her. Jane slowly walked forward pushing Maura along with her until Maura's back reached the wall. Maura wasn't sure if she should be scared but her arousal was slowly taking over all thoughts. Jane shoved her knee in between Maura's leg to keep her where she was. She looked into green eyes looking for a sign for her to stop. She didn't see one and proceeded to kiss Maura.

Jane clashed her lips with Maura's in a languid kiss. Maura only could moan in her content with the detective. Jane slowly slid her tongue out and slid them across Maura's lips wanting more access, access Maura was happy to give her. Jane moaned at the approval from the honey blonde and continued to caress Maura's tongue with her own.

Jane only stopped to allow both women to get some oxygen. Chocolate eyes searched green to make sure she wasn't doing anything the ME didn't want. All she saw was the arousal in Maura's eyes and lips begging to be kissed.

Before Maura had a chance to form any words Jane had her lips against hers again quickly deepening the kiss with her tongue. Jane kept her knee between Maura's leg and she used it to her advantage. She slowly moved her knee up into Maura's center getting an arousing groan from the ME made Jane wetter than she already was.

Maura couldn't take it anymore and somehow found the strength to push the tall brunette backwards. Before Jane knew what happened, the honey blonde had the detective pushed up against the opposite wall. It was now Jane's turn to moan as Maura mimicked what Jane had just done to her, she had the detective pinned against the wall with her knee. Maura sucked on Jane's bottom lip which earned another groan, and then took her lips once again with a kiss that intertwined their tongues.

The detective's hands now had a mind of their own as they slowly trailed up the ME's body. Jane started unbuttoning Maura's silky night top and immediately stopped when she realized what she was doing. She broke away from Maura. "Not now."

Maura filled with arousal and now confusion looked at Jane like she was crazy. She was about to voice her disapproval but was quickly silenced by a kiss from the detective.

"I mean I want to treat you properly before…you know." Jane was now blushing at not being able to say it.

"We have sex?"

Jane let out a small chuckle. "Yes. I want to at least take you on a proper date before we make this kind of decision."

"So you lied to me earlier at the Dirty Robber?" Maura quickly changed the subject wanting some answers.

"Yes. I like you a lot Maura and I really do want to be more than friends with you. I really would like it if you would be my girlfriend. You know, this kinda girlfriend." Jane was pointing between her and Maura indicating what just took place.

Maura took one step closer to Jane and before she knew it a loud slap rang out in the foyer and Jane was now holding the side of her face looking shocked. "Don't lie to me again and I think we'll be just fine." Maura smiled and immediately kissed the detective. "So when's our first date?"

Damn this woman is ferocious and I like it. "How about this Saturday? I'll take you wherever you would like to go."

"Okay, I will let you know what I come up with. But for now it would be wise that you go home because if you don't I can't be held responsible for my actions." Maura was looking at Jane like she could eat her up.

"Okay." Jane smiled. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Goodnight Jane." Maura closed the door behind Jane and immediately leaned against it. Cold shower…now.
