A/N gah, so over school! It is coming up to hockey season again, so I have to practise lots! There was a massive fight at school today, like 10 metres away from me! Some teacher tried to break it up and got kicked at. It was rather scary when it started moving towards me and my mates! This chapter is short, but the next one will be epic! Read and review =]
5 minutes later they assembled in Lisbon's office, wondering what was happening, and Grace, wondering why Jane had asked her about winter. Jane stood on the end, swinging from his toe to the balls of his feet.
'Ok, I got an email from Minnelli this morning, but I have only just checked it now, there is going to be a ball to celebrate the end of the year, even though it is February, we didn't get a chance to do it at the end of the year as there was a case, the theme is winter masquerade, and this last part is written in capital letters and in bold, all to attend, so that is all of you' she said
Grace saw Jane grinning out the corner of her eye, she suddenly understood the whole winter questions.
'Any questions?' she asked
'When is it?' Jane asked
'A week today, so next Friday at 7.30, cancel any plans and don't make new ones, all to attend' she reminded
'Yea boss' they said
'Dismissed' she said, going back to her work
'What will you wear Grace?' Jane asked on the way out
'I don't know, why do you care?'
'Just wondering'
'No, you don't wonder, there is always a reason, now, tell me' she said turning round to face him
'Rigsby is expecting something amazing'
She jaw dropped, but she quickly closed it
'And you know this how?'
'I could see it'
'So, are you a mind reader now or something?'
'No, I could tell with his body language'
'Mmhm'
'You don't believe me?'
'No, if you will excuse me, I'm going to get some tea, and finish some paper work' she said walking off
He put his hand up in defence and went to lie on his couch, Grace rolled her eyes and went into the kitchen.
'Hey Grace' Rigsby said as Grace walked into the kitchen
'Hey Rigsby' she said, with Jane's words still fresh in her mind
'Um, can I pick you up before the ball?' he asked
'Sure, 7.00?' she asked
'Sounds good' he said
She walked over close to get the tea and whispered in his ear
'Jane says you are expecting some amazing outfit on me, is that true?' she said
He tensed, then relaxed again
'Honestly Grace, you could come in your pyjamas and I wouldn't care' he said back
She smiled
'Thanks love' she said kissing him on the cheek and walking out, trying to feel happy about what he had said, but there was a little bit in her head, wanting to make an impression on him, no matter what. She put her tea down on her desk and went over to Jane and stood by the couch, waiting for him to acknowledge her, but when he didn't, she kicked the couch.
'Mmhm?' he said
'I need to talk to you' she said
'Yes?' he said sitting up
'What do I wear?'
He smiled that smile that got her worried
'Meet me after work, the mall is always open late'
'Ok' she said, then realised she had just accepted into a shopping trip with Jane, that was going to be interesting.
She groaned and sat down to tend to the seemingly never ending paper work and started to think of excuses to get out of shopping, before realising, she probably should go.
A/N next chapter half written already, hopefully up tonight too, no promises though ;) the good wife is on tonight, yay, it's extremely amazing!
