SO sorry for the lack of updates. School is going crazy right now and I am on spring break so here's a new chapter for you. Oh, this and last chapter were set in the 80s so the future chapters are going to be present time. Enjoy!

"What are you doing here?"

"We need to talk about last night."

"Fine." Jane stood sideways and let Maura into her bedroom and locked the door. She lead Maura to her bathroom and shut the door.

"Why did you do that?" Maura asked.

"Because I don't want Ma to hear what I am going to tell you." Jane grabbed both of Maura's hands and looked into her eyes.

"What I am going to tell you won't be easy for me or possibly for you too-"

"Jane, just tell me."

"I love you."

Maura's eyes went wide. "Wha-what?"

"I love you. I'm head over heels for you. I have been since freshman year. If you don't want to be my friend anymore, than I totally understand." Jane released Maura's hands and leaned up against the sink with her face in her hands. Maura walked over to Jane and stood in front of her. She removed Jane's hands from her face.

"Jane, you have no idea how much I wanted for you to say those three words. I love you too."

Jane looked up and slowly started to smile.

"You do?"

"Of course I do. You want to protect me. Nobody sees the loving, caring side of you except me. And I still want to see those sides of you." Maura leaned in and kissed Jane. Jane deepened the kiss then pulled away.

"What's wrong?" Maura asked. Jane placed her hand on Maura's cheek.

"I want you so bad, but I want to take it slow. This is new to the both of us and I want us to take our time."

"I agree with you. You know most rushed relationships end after only two months or less."

Jane just smiled and kissed Maura's forehead.

"And I love your Google mouth." Jane gave her a quick kiss.

"How about we spend the day together, have a picnic in the park then go to the movies?"

"That sounds lovely."

"Great. Let me get dressed so that means you go out there and wait for me."

Maura pouted but Jane kissed it away. Maura went into Jane's bedroom and sat on her bed waiting for Jane to finish getting ready. She looked over to Jane's desk and saw pictures of her and Jane and she smiled.

Jane just threw on a t-shirt and shorts and went back into her bedroom.

"You ready?" Jane asked Maura when she left her bathroom and tied her hair in a pony tail. Maura nodded her head and the girls left. They went to the store and grabbed already made sandwiches and headed to the park. Jane grabbed Maura's hand while driving and Maura kissed the back of her hand and smiled.

The girls reached a hill that over looked the Boston Harbor. Jane was quiet which alerted Maura.

"Jane, what's wrong?"

"What are we going to do?"

"What do you mean?"

"You are leaving for BC in August, and I am leaving for Northwestern around the same time and in four years to the police academy and we graduate next week."

"We have all summer to figure out our relationship. Until the time comes, we will make the time that we have together the best times of our lives."

"You promise?" Jane asked. Maura nodded and kissed her.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" Jane asked Maura when they pulled away.

"Yes."

The next two months were crazy for the girls. Of course, they graduated high school. They spent every free moment with each other, but time was winding down for them.

Maura was the first to leave for school. Jane helped Maura move into her dorm room, and when they were done, the girls walked outside to Jane's car. Maura hugged Jane and sobbed into her chest. Jane kissed the top of her head.

"I'm going to miss you. I wish we were going to the same school." Maura sobbed out.

"I know. We can still keep in touch. Even though we may not be together anymore, but we can still be friends."

Maura pulled away. "I should get back to my room. I will always love you Jane."

"Me too, Maura." Jane leaned in for one more kiss from Maura. After a few moments, Maura pulled away and walked back to her dorm room, not knowing that she will run into Jane in the future.

Well, sorry to spoil your enjoyment for now. Don't worry. I might have something up my sleeve for our favorite duo.
