Jane groaned at the sound of the morning wakeup call. It was her third day of training and she was already dragging. One of the training officers came into the room and turned on all the lights while blowing his whistle as loud as he could. "Come on you pansies. Time to get up! Roll call and inspection in 5 minutes!"
Jane allowed herself a few more seconds before rising from her spot on her bunk and jumping down to ground level. She changed into her exercise clothes and quickly but carefully made her bed. Not more than a minute after she was done, one of the trainers started going down the line to make sure the beds were made properly and the cadets were dressed as they were supposed to.
"You learn quickly Rizzoli, out to the yard," the officer stated as he reached her. She passed a few of her fellow cadets on the way out to join the rest of the group. She groaned inwardly. She knew what that meant: for each person who didn't properly make their bed, an extra 25 pushups awaited them.
Maura woke up a few minutes before her alarm was due to go off at 6:00 a.m. Her internal clock was already set; she had kept the alarm mostly for Jane's benefit. She stretched her arms and turned to the big, empty space that the brunette typically occupied and sighed. Her hand passed over cold sheets for the third morning in a row. "I miss you so much already bébé," she said aloud. She couldn't wait for Friday to arrive so that Jane could come home, even if it was only for a couple of nights.
She rose from bed and headed straight for the shower. Once she was showered and changed and the bed had been made, she headed downstairs to make herself something for breakfast. She opted some cut up fruit, a slice of wheat toast and some orange juice. The blonde sat at the kitchen island and enjoyed her breakfast while continuing to peruse the catalogs that had been left behind by Jane and herself a few days before.
I wonder if Jane will like these… she mused as she flipped pages and pages of fine china. This isn't Jane at all… maybe something more simplistic, not too ornate.
She could hear Jane inside her head telling her that she didn't care what the blonde purchased and it made her smile. Though she had the green light from her girlfriend, Maura still wanted to take the brunette's likes in consideration and so she began looking at a different catalog.
Hopefully I'll be done with the major things by this Friday, that way I can see if Jane really likes them or not… and I can make the smaller purchases from there.
Jane collapsed on her bunk, exhausted. She'd just endured an 11 hour training class and had to cram for the following day's test. The huge amount of information being thrown at them was important and highly difficult to recall in a moment's notice. They were allowed 90 minutes after classes before lights out and so she got down from her bunk once again and went to sit at a desk to look over the material once more.
Jesus, it's not like I'm going to learn this by osmosis or anything… I can't concentrate anyway. She pulled out her cell phone. They were only allowed to use it during their free time. She looked at the clock: 8:18. She still had a little over an hour and Maura would be awake.
J: Hey baby, what are you doing?
M: Jane! I'm so happy to see it's you! I thought you'd forgotten your mobile. I'm just sitting in the living room, reading and having a glass of wine. How was your day?
J: That sounds so good! I wish I could join you right now. I have a little over an hour left before lights out… we got out of class a few minutes ago. I'm supposed to be preparing for a test tomorrow but I'm having trouble concentrating. You got any pointers for me?;)
M: If you have a test tomorrow then you should be studying! It really depends. I know you don't like absolute silence while studying so why don't you listen to some music? It may help you relax and understand the material better that way.
J: That's a good idea Maur. I forgot my iPod, but I have some music on my phone. Remind me to get it this coming weekend, ok baby?
M: I'll have it packed and ready for you my love. It's so lonely here without you. I miss you.
Jane had trouble keeping her face straight. : I miss you too baby. But I'll be home in a couple of days.
M: I can't wait bébé. I was thinking of making something special for dinner that night… is there anything at all you're craving?
J: Pizza Maur! I want Pizza! Though there is something I'm craving more...
M: Do tell me cadet Rizzoli…
J: you're silly Maur… but you know I'm craving you… your body… your touch. I can't wait to have your body against mine as we sleep again.
M: Just a couple of more days love, and we'll be together again. Go and study, you need to be prepared for tomorrow. I'll be here, counting the hours until you return home to me. Best of luck on your exam bébé, I know you'll do great!
J: Thanks baby. I'm going to need that luck. I'll text you tomorrow night. I love you. Xoxo
M: I love you too Jane. xo
Jane went back to her books and notes, a smile on her face this time around. She put her music on shuffle and listened to it quietly as she began to run over all the information, hoping it stuck this time and helped her with that test the following day.
Thanks for the continued support everyone! What'd you think?=)
