Chapter 5

"Who was that?" Jill asked as she walked out of the kitchen with two glasses of wine. "Why can't I have one of Jane's beers?"

Maura called Jane back immediately but it went straight to voice mail. "Because they are Jane's for when she comes over here and if you drank them there wouldn't be any left for her." Maura knew she was being silly but she couldn't help herself.

Jill decided she wouldn't push it. "Ok I'll drink your wine then." They sat down on the couch and neither said anything for awhile. Maura started to feel uncomfortable after awhile and she didn't know what to do to break the tension. She turned to Jill and looked at her and tried to imagine it was Jane sitting there but she couldn't. She turned and before she knew what was happening she was being kissed. It took her a moment to pull back and then she stood and walked away from the couch. "I'm sorry I thought this was what you wanted when you invited me over here." Jill said from the couch.

"I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression Jill, you're Jane's friend so I tried to be your friend too but I don't think I can. I think you should leave." Maura watched her walk towards the door to leave but at the door she turned back around.

"I think I know what's going on but I was hoping I could change your mind. See ya around Maura. Jane doesn't know what she's missing." Jill turned and left. She took her phone out of her pocket as she was leaving and dialed the number by heart.

It was answered on the third ring. "What do you want? Do you want to gloat?" Jane asked without disguising the anger in her voice.

"Oh you wound me Jane, why so angry? Mad because I got the girl and you didn't?" Jill laughed. "She's quite a woman our Maura."

"Jill, from this day forward I want nothing to do with you. You pretend to be a friend but friends do not do what you are doing. So, forget my phone number and where I live. I never want to hear from you again."

"Wait Jane…" She didn't get to finish what she was saying before she heard the click on the line. She called Jane back immediately but knew she had gone too far. "Oh well, we'll see what happens."

Maura sat back down on the couch and picked up her phone to call Jane and once again her call went right to voice mail so she knew Jane was angry because she never turns off her phone. Should she go over there and tell her this was not a date or should she just let it go and talk to her in the morning? "I didn't do anything wrong, she jumped to that conclusion. I tried to call her and she's the one being childish. I'll talk to her in the morning."

Neither woman got a good night's sleep. Jane was in a foul mood when she got to work in the morning and Korsak felt it as soon as she walked in. Frost knew something was up but decided to steer clear.

"Does this have anything to do with what we discussed last night?" Korsak asked carefully.

"Everything and I don't want to talk about it." She worked on paperwork for the first few hours then reached for a file in her in box and it happened to be the report that Maura had given her the day before. She signed off on the report then stood to leave the room. "I'm going to run this downstairs, I should be back in a little while." She walked out of the elevator in the basement and as she approached the morgue she looked through the window and saw Maura sitting at her desk looking at her computer but she wasn't alone. Jill stood behind her with her hand on her shoulder pointing to something on the screen. Jane stood there until Maura looked up and made eye contact with her then she spun on her heels and headed back upstairs where she stormed in and over to Frost's desk. "I'm going to head over to the bank to do a little personal business. Can you take this file down to Maura for me? She's got company and I didn't want to interrupt."

"Sure Jane, I'll take care of it for you. You want some company on your walk to the bank?"

"No I think I want to be alone right now. What I wouldn't give for a good murder or even a shoot out right now. Something, anything to get out of this office. Why has the city of Boston decided to become law abiding citizens when you need something to do?" She stood up and left the room.

"What was that all about?" Frost asked Korsak from across the room. "She looked ready to bite someone's head off and if I was to hazard a guess it would be Dr. Isles' head if she had the chance."

"You would be right. It appears the good doctor had someone in her office that Jane didn't expect to see and wasn't happy to see."

"I told you she had a thing for Dr. Isles. Is that what you talked about last night? Do you think it's another man or a woman?"

"I don't know but if we keep talking whoever it is will have left the morgue and we'll never know. I'll take that report down there for you." He headed out the door with the report in his hand at the same time Maura and Jill were heading out the backdoor to Maura's car.

"Don't let her get to you, a little jealousy is good for her right now."

"What are you talking about Jill? Jane's not jealous, well maybe just a little but I don't think it's the kind of jealousy you are talking about. She's used to me being there for her."

"God you're as blind as she is. She couldn't see how you felt about her and you can't see that she's madly in love with you can you?"

"What are you talking about? Wait! If you know she feels this way about me why are you hitting on me?" Maura asked as she pulled into an empty parking spot at the mall.

"I guess I hoped maybe you weren't too into her and that maybe I would have a chance with you. I don't have a chance in hell do I? And this morning I came to apologize for last night. I knew it was wrong to kiss you but I couldn't help it. You're are so damn beautiful it's too hard to resist." Jill was leading Maura towards the mall entrance hoping to ingratiate herself with Maura and win her over.

"Are you sure she likes me? Maybe I should go talk to her." Maura turned to head back to her car.

Jill steered her back to the entrance. "Give her a chance to stew a little bit and it will be that much better when she finds out the truth." Unless I win you over first, Jill thought. Jane would never go shopping with her and help her choose clothes but I will, would that be enough for Maura to look at her the way she looks at Jane?

Maura wasn't sure this was the right thing to do but she wasn't doing anything wrong. She was just going shopping like she always does when she's upset. Jane was being childish, wasn't she? Maybe she should go back. Well one dress wouldn't hurt. Maybe she'd dress up for Jane tonight and tell her how she felt.
