Author's Notes: Thanks to my LOVELY reviewers! I read and take to heart EVERY one. Keep it up with the feedback! I'm ALWAYS super interested to hear from you all. And seeing as though I've been fighting TERRIBLE writer's block, don't be surprised if you hear from me. Now... let's see if I can write some more!
Jane was beyond ecstatic. Maura had feelings for her, feelings Jane had been hoping were there for a long time. But now Jane knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that they existed, and she couldn't be happier.
Entering her home after a night of what she could only describe as... eye opening, she realized just how tired she actually was from the day she had experienced. She felt a familiar nuzzle against her arm, as she laid down on her bed to relax. She allowed her dog Jo to curl up next to her, as she absentmindedly stroked the fur on her pet and zoned out into space. Visions of Maura and the night flashed before her eyes. She thought about the feeling of Maura in her arms as they swayed to music, how divine she smelled, and how it felt just to be in that moment. She thought about the softness of Maura's silk shirt against her arms, and the feeling of the supple skin that rested around her neck as they danced. Most of all, she thought about the kiss. Oh how magnificent it was to finally experience a kiss from Maura Isles. As she thought about it, she was surprised at how calm she stayed during the whole thing. The truth was, she could've jumped for joy. She would've loved to have been able to just scream from the amount of excitement that coursed through her body in that one moment alone.
She thought about how perfect it all was, and if Maura had planned the WHOLE thing. She smiled at this thought. Maura was so surprising sometimes. The woman was a walking encyclopedia robot one second, and the next a caring and tender human being. Seeing Maura change between the two was always an interesting thing to watch.
Jane knew there were a few reasons Maura went into Google mode. One of which was obvious: Maura was smart. Maura had tons of facts floating around in her head about any given topic on any given day, and she loved to share tidbits she felt no one knew. But there was also another reason she did this: to distance herself. Jane knew Maura had a soft side, she always had. She'd seen the blonde break down and let things get to her, and it always broke her heart to have to sit by and watch. Maura hated feeling weak, just as much as Jane did, and she proved her skills by rambling on about the facts and figures to make herself comfortable and get her mind off of what was at hand. Once Jane figured out that it was a coping mechanism of sorts, she started not to mind the sometimes obscure monologues given by her friend. And she had to admit, she did learn something every now and again from her friend.
Before she knew it, she felt the rays of the sun beaming against her; she had fallen asleep thinking about Maura. She realized that of all the things she could've fallen asleep thinking about from the day, her friend was definitely the best choice, and she had slept well because of it.
Jane sat up to get ready. She had a date with Maura, and she was planning on making a day of it. At this last thought, she realized something... Maura was technically her girlfriend now. This made her smile even bigger as she prepared for what she hoped would be a terrific day.
Sorry this one is so short. After the last chapter going so well, this chapter was... almost impossible. Please keep the reviews coming. I'd love to hear some tips on how to beat writer's block, seeing as though it's been plaguing me lately. Thanks for your support!
