Jane looked deep into Maura's eyes and said, "Maura, with these gifts, I-I have need to tell you something. Maura, I-"

"Jane! We went to your apartment and you weren't there. We figured you would be here, we brought your gifts, cake and balloons from the police station." Jane's mom said to her as she put the cake in the fridge.

Jane rolled her eyes and Maura mouth a 'be nice' to her and Jane whispered back, "we will talk later I promise."

"Ma, I know you have a key to Maura's place and all but please remember to knock sometimes..." Angela began her defense but Jane had other plans. "Ma I love you, and thank you for the party earlier at the office but me and Maura had plans..."

"Plans? Why wasn't I invited? I want to come. What? Your ashamed of your mother now?"

"No ma...it's not that. We are...going to a club. Yeah, a club, that's it." Jane said looking to Maura for help.

Maura looked at Jane oddly and slowly caught on to what Jane was doing. Jane knew Maura couldn't lie, so Maura decided to just stick with the facts.

"Yes, she is right Angela, we were headed out tonight. Jane, can you help me pick out my clothes for tonight? Oh, and Angela thanks again for all of your help with the party earlier I couldn't have done it without you." Maura yelled as she headed to her bedroom with Jane.

Jane walked in the room and closed the door behind them, "Maura, actually you know what? What about the club? That may not be that bad of an idea, we never did get those drinks we wanted. Why don't we hit that club we went undercover at? It would be nice to get some drinks and see some people, ya know really celebrate my birthday."

Jane was trying to find an excuse to get up close and personal with the doctor and hoped dancing would provide her with the chance to do so.

"Wasn't that a lesbian club?"

"Uh, yes! It was-is a lesbian club. I just figured that if we went to a regular bar that we would be hit on a lot and I didn't feel like being bothered with that tonight, unless the lesbian club made you uncomfortable."

"Not at all, remember sexuality is fluid among women and I myself have never put a preference on gender. It'll be fun." Maura smiled as she looked at the emotions being displayed on Jane's face after her last comment. Leaving Jane to think, Maura picked out her clothes and took a quick shower.

Did Maura really just say what she think she said? Maura likes women? She said that I wasn't her type though maybe she was trying to tell me she wasn't interested. But Maura has never dated a woman, much less slept with one, has she? More importantly has she been with a woman while we've been friends?

Jane was starting to develop a headache at the sudden anxiety and decided to take a shower and change into her jeans and a white button down she had left over Maura's house earlier this week.

"Maura are you ready?" She turned around to see Maura looking stunning in a low cut gold blouse, blue jeans and gold glitter Christian Louboutins. Once again Jane was stuck speechless.

"You um, you look nice Maur." Jane said as she rubbed her hands. Maura noticed the gesture and decided to put her friend to ease, "thank you. You look dashing as always."

"Thanks. Uh ok let's get out of here."

They walked into the club, it was a good crowd and the music was thumping.

Jane headed to the bar to get them drinks, but was stopped by Maura's hand over hers. "I'm paying for the drinks to tonight and no beer. What would you like other than that?"

"Uh, Whiskey Sour please."

Maura turned to the bartender and ordered a Cosmo and Whiskey Sour, paid for the drinks and handed Jane hers.

Maura was sipping her drink and began notice a lot of females had been checking out her Jane. Her Jane? When did she become Her Jane?

Breaking her out of her silent reverie, Jane asked Maura if she wanted to dance. Maura thought about it and nodded as yes.

Maura was classically taught to dance, ballroom and the other usual, but she had no idea how to 'shake her groove thang.'

Jane took her by the hand and turned Maura into her as a song came on with a sexy groove.

Jane could sense Maura's nervousness with dancing, so she guided Maura's hips with her free hand. Pressing against her tighter, Maura was starting to feel the butterflies in her stomach and she was slowly losing all of the self control she had at the moment. Thinking of a way to give herself a moment from such close contact, she turned around in Jane's arms and realized that that may not have been the best decision.

Her face flushed, and as she looked into Jane's eyes. She panicked as could feel her pulse quicken and her breathing go deep, knowing that those were signs of sexual arousal. Maura needed to think for a minute and was she not thinking right now, her body was acting on its own. Maura excused herself to the bathroom and left Jane standing there bewildered.

Maura ran straight to sink and splashed cold water on her face and took a deep breath. She was hot and bothered and needed to cool off quickly. She reapplied her lipstick and fixed her hair. Seeing Jane step behind her she was afraid of what she would say when Jane asked why she had ran off.

Jane asked, "Maura is there something wrong? Are you okay?"

"Nothing is wrong, really. Everything is right. I just needed a minute to breathe." Maura stood in front Jane and tried with every once of her being to look Jane in the eye, but her body was again acting on its own.

Jane noticed and her gut told her to take the leap this time. "Maura I need to talk to you. We need to talk."

"I don't want to talk Jane." Maura said in a breathless whisper. Maura leaned forward and planted a solid kiss on Jane's lips. Jane began to kiss her back with such an urgent intensity that people began to clear the rest room.

Maura eased off of Jane's lips and said, "Okay, yes, we need to talk."

"Yeah, uh, my place. Ya know, just in case we need some privacy after we... talk." Jane smiled and took Maura by the hand, leading her out of the club.
