It had been almost a month since Jane had moved in with Maura. The team had solved two more murders which had been stressing them all out. That night the gang decided to head to the dirty robber for food and drinks. Jane sat opposite Maura, Korsak next to Jane, Frankie next to Korsak and then Susie next to Maura and Angela next to Susie.

"I'm so glad I can finally relax" Jane piped up before taking a gulp of her beer.
"You deserve it, you worked very hard, all of you did"
"thankyou Dr. Isles" Korsak said raising his beer up to Maura smiling.

"Hey, you worked hard to Maur, we couldn't have done it without you" Jane said smiling at her best friend
"Just doing my job Jane" Maura replied smiling with her wine glass in hand.

Angela stood up turning to the group. "Is everyone ready for there food now?" Angela asked before everyone cheered, giving Angela the go ahead to fetch their food.

After eating and a few more drinks everyone headed home. Opening the front door Maura and Jane stepped inside there house.

"I haven't been this tired in ages" Jane said heading into the kitchen grabbing a beer form the fridge. Maura followed her putting the kettle on.

"Jane you're stressed out it's normal after a tough case, you know that. I'll go run you a bath so you can relax and unwind" Maura said turning on her heel heading towards the stairs.

"Thanks Maur" Jane smiled at her friend before heading into the living room.

Ten minutes had passed and Maura still hadn't come downstairs. Standing up Jane decided to make sure she was ok. Heading up the stairs she turned right and headed towards the bathoom. Knocking on the door she pushed it open to see Maura lighting candles round the bath tub and putting some extra bubble bath int the water.

"Maur.." Jane said looking confused closing the door behind her.
"Yes Jane" Maura answered turning around to meet Jane's eyes.
"What are you doing" Jane asked looking around.

"Running you a bath like I said"

"Yes thankyou pointdexter I can see that, I meant with the candles and bubbles" Jane said looking back up to meet the blonde's eyes.

"Their scented candles, they will help you relax easier, and the bubbles are relaxing too, I've added some lavender in there to, to help release the tension in your muscles" Maura answered smiling tilting her head to the side.

"Right...my muscle are not tense"

"Yes they are" Maura pointed out moving to stand behind Jane before massaging her shoulder muscles. "You have a couple of knots in your trapezius"

"My what" Jane asked turning around
"Your muscle near you neck Jane"
"oh..look Maura i'm fine, now go..I need a bath" Jane said breathing heavily. She didn't know why but she enjoyed Maura massaging her shoulders, she usually hated it but with Maura she seemed to love it

"Ok.." Maura smiled before slowly leaving the bathroom.

It was an hour before Jane descended back downstairs in her baggy red sox t-shirt and her grey jogging bottoms. Seeing Maura on the couch watching a documentary Jane went to join her.

"Hey" Maura said as Jane sat down next to her. "You were up there a while, you enjoyed the bath I take it?"

"No..I just, couldn't be bothered to move" Jane said scratching her head.
"You're a terrible liar you know that"
"Well atleast I don't break out in hives" Jane said smiling

Laughing, Maura shook her head.

Looking up at the TV Jane sighed.
"What's the matter? You still not used to my option of the programs I watch?" Maura asked smiling looking at the brunette.

"What? No..no I'm used to boring documentaries by now" Jane replied rubbing her forehead. "It's just my head hurts. Staring at a computer screen to long at work that's all" The brunette said rolling her shoulders.

"You're muscles are still aching aren't they" Maura asked concerned. When Jane nodded Maura stood up turning the tv off she turned to Jane and held out her hand. "Come on"

"Where are we going" Jane asked confused

"Upstairs, I am going to give you a massage"

"What? No Maura i'll be fine, sit down and watch you're damn documentary." Jane quickly said avoiding eye contact

"Jane.." Maura said in a warning voice.

"Fine" Jane reluctantly gave in and followed Maura upstairs. Heading into Maura's bedroom, Maura pointed at the bed telling her to lay down on her stomach, whilst she headed to the en suit to get some oils. Coming back in Maura looked at Jane.

"Jane"
"What now" Jane moaned looking at her friend.

"In order for me to give you a proper massage you are going to have to take your top off"

"What? Maur I've got no bra on, just do it on top of my my top"

"Jane I've seen you naked before now t-shirt, off" Rolling her eyes Jane sat up removing her t-shirt before laying back down on her stomach. A couple of seconds later she felt Maura straddling her ass.

"Maur...what are you doing"

"For me to give the right amount of pressure to your muscles I need to be above you, and this works perfectly" Maura answered innocently before rubbing the oils in her hands. Jane grumbled giving Maura the sign to start. She's just your friend Jane...you're both heterosexual women who are best friends and she's just helping you out. Apart from you're in love with her and she doesn't know. Internally screaming Jane closed her eyes.

Half an hour later Maura wiped her hands on the towel she brought in with her, placing her hands on Jane's waist she spoke. "Jane I'm all done" Not getting a response Maura leaned forwards to see Jane's eyes closed. "Jane, honey, wake up, I've finished" Jane suddenly woke up flinging her head back and hitting Maura in the nose.

"Shit" Maura said clutching her nose and climbing of Jane.

Realizing what she had done Jane quickly stood up and followed Maura into the en suit.

"Shit Maura are you all right? I'm so sorry" Jane asked concerned placing her hand on Maura's back.

"I'm fine Jane honestly" Maura answered pulling the tissue away from her nose to see dried up blood. "Maur I'm so sorry I didn't mean to give you a nose bleed..or hurt you" Maura smiled before throwing the tissue in the bin and rinsing her face. "It's fine Jane, It was an accident. You do realize you are still topless"

Looking down Jane went red with embarrassment before running back into the bedroom to throw her t-shirt on. Maura she is just your friend stop oggling her breasts...you're both straight, two best friends, you're just in love with her and she doesn't know. Shaking her head Maura followed Jane back into the bedroom to find her friend sat on her bed.

"Thankyou for the massage Maura..it really helped"

"My pleasure Jane" Maura smiled standing in front of her friend. "Well I guess I best head to bed, night Maura" Jane quickly said standing up. "Jane wait" Maura called out grabbing hold of her friends wrist.

"What's up" Jane asked turning to meet her friends eyes. "Er, will you check to see if my nose is ok.." Maura knew it was ok, she just wanted to be close to Jane.
"Erm, sure" Taking a step closer Jane placed her fingers either side of Maura's nose examining it. Removing her hands she looked down at Maura's lips and then into her friends eyes. "yeah..yeah it's fine" Jane said with heavy breaths unable to move

"Thankyou" Maura smiled not moving. She slowly moved her right hand up to Jane's cheek. What am I doing!? She's my friend, Maura sort yourself out. Before she had time to think Maura's phone made a noise. Jumping apart Maura checked her phone. "It's er Susie checking we got home ok."

"Oh" Jane breathed out. "Night Maura" Jane quickly left heading down the hallway before entering her bedroom. Collapsing on her bed she ran her fingers through her hair. What the hell was that!? We almost kissed...I think, I so wanted too but I don't know if I'm ready..I'm in love with the woman...maybe it was a heat of the moment she can't possible feel the same way. Screwing her eyes shut Jane shut of her lamp before drifting to sleep.

Maura got dressed into her silk Pajamas before getting underneath the covers. We had a moment...if Susie hadn't text what would have happened!? She must have ran off because she's scared and doesn't feel the same...good one Maura you screwed everything up! Shutting her lamp off Maura closed her eyes before starting her breathing techniques to help her sleep.

The next day Maura woke up later than usual. Walking downstairs she headed into the kitchen seeing a note on the counter.

Dear Maura

Gone for a run, don't worry about breakfast I'll grab something to eat on my way home.

Jane.

Maura sighed to herself before filling the kettle up. "Good one Maura you really screwed this one up" The blonde said to herself before starting to make herself breakfast.
