Hey- thank you for the reviews, they mean a lot to me.
A few things-
1. I do not know a lot about jewlry
2. I am quite tired now and need to sleep (Please point out any errors)
3. Read on.
Maura had spent the past 2 hours getting ready and it was officially 7:00. Well, judging from past experience, I have approximately 7 minutes left until she comes. Maura though to herself as she sat at her kitchen table eager to go on her first date with Jane sat there for a half a second before she heard the doorbell ring. She got up and opened her door, saying, "Oh, Jane. Hi. I wasn't expecting you to be on time."
"You look fantastic, Maur." Jane complimented, hugging Maura. "That is how people generally greet others on a first date." Jane playfully pointed out, nudging at Maura's initial reaction .
"I'm sorry- Thank You, and you look incredible as well. I see that your Armani suit is actually the right size and I was just surprised because you tend to not be on time frequently." Maura retorted, with an easy tone.
" Well, I am only on time for things that mean the world to me. Or if I have the wrong time and get here early." Jane said back, with no thought on how much the statement meant to Maura. While Jane was just stating a fact, Maura was beaming. She never doubted that Jane cared about her, but the way she said it made her melt, metaphorically, of course.
After displaying her goofy smile, Maura asked the questing that had been burning in her mind all day, "So Jane, where are we going tonight?" She was Jane smile and give her a look that means 'You know the answer to that.' She figured she might as well try. "Fine, but can you at least reveal to me if my attire is appropriate?"
Jane joked sarcastically, "No, it's not. We are going somewhere that is always -4 degrees." She then saw the look on Maura's face and had to say, "I was just joking, Maur. Sarcasm..." She got a look so she quickly continued, "You look gorgeous, as always. I assure you, you could make my clothing look attractive on you. Come on. We need to go."
Jane opened the door for her girlfriend, then got it her own. Leading Maura to say, "I guess you are doing this the traditional way, huh?"
To which Jane responded, "You will just have to wait and see..." Maura gave up trying to pry the answer out and sat there in silence with Jane. They drove past familiar places and arrived to a part of Boston Maura had never seen before. "Maura, I know you never come here, but believe it or not, I do," Jane explained while she went to open Maura's door. Once the two were on the street, Jane led them both towards the crosswalk as she finished, "And the place I am taking to you has great meaning in my eyes. Come on, its just here.
They both walked in and got seated, as they were on time for Jane;s reservation. Maura would normally ditch a date at this point, but there was some way that she could tell that Jane had thought this one out. It is Italian food, and she does enjoy Italian. Plus, Jane is there. That is enough for her to be satisfied at this moment.
"So Maura, the owner of this place is good friends with Ma and my father, so tend to spend some time here sometimes. It was here that I realized that I am head over heels, deeply and profoundly in love with you." Jane explained further.
Maura smiled and though to herself, I can't love this woman any more than I do right now. She is just so.. Jane. While thinking she replied, "Jane... that's so... you're so... perfect. I just... nobody ever thinks of me as much as you do and it really means a lot."
"Anytime, Maur. I am right here, and always will be." Jane said. She then scanned the menu, already knowing what she gets at this certain place.
Jane ordered, as well as Maura. Once they ordered, conversation began back up again. "I'm quite impressed with your thought Jane, I love this so much." Maura enthused.
"Are you saying that you assume I never think?" Jane joked.
"No! I am just complimen- oh... a joke. Very funny Jane." Maura reacted.
"I am fluent in sarcasm, babe. You better get used to it," Jane smirked, "Oh look, out food is here."
"Thank you" they both said post receiving their meals. The two were starving, and both hate when people talk with their mouth's full, so the next 30 minutes were silent, except for the silent 'conversation' the new couple was having though short sentences and looks. Which was mainly as much flirting as Jane could handle before making fun of herself. The two slowed down their eating and Jane spoke us and said, "How did we never do this earlier?"
"What? Go out on a date? Because we both never told each other how we feel, and nobody asked." Maura answered.
"I know that... I just feel so complete, I wish I came clean earlier." Jane said, knowing that everything had fallen in place.
"I feel the same way, Jane. I really do." They got their check, Jane paid and they walked back to Jane's car. "In fact, I got you a gift." Maura said, finally back in the car.
"You didn't have to! But I got you one as well. Here" Jane took out a jewelry casing and opened it up to reveal a a silver ring with heart in the center. Jane paused for dramatic effect and then explained her gift. "Maur, I know this is out first date- wait, first of all, no it is not a wedding ring. On the inside of the band are two words. 'Love, Jane' and there is a hear etched on the outside. Maur, After 5 years of knowing you, I have learned that you are the most extraordinary person I know. This ring, represents my heart." Jane fumbled to find the correct words. "Bottom line, Maura, is that I am trying to say/represent that my heart, and my love is all yours. You have all of it, if you want it."
The sweet words made Maura cry, as she placed the ring on her finger. "Jane, I.. I cant believe, I... I got you this." Maura stuttered out as she pulled out a similar casing, she opened it up to reveal a bracelet, with golden heart at the bottom.
"It says 'Love, Maura' Wait... don't tell me. Did we get each other the same thing?" Jane rendered herself dumbfounded.
"I believe we have the same concept, yes. Jane Rizzoli, I give you my metaphorical heart, and all of my love." Maura was just as surprised as Jane.
"I guess it's meant to be." Jane said as she pulled into Maura's driveway.
"I think I agree with you, Jane. If you mean that you think we have a natural affinity for each other." Maura said, unlocking her door.
"I bet we do." Jane said in a husky voice. She turned to her girlfriend, and pulling her in by the hips. Maura locked her arms around Jane's neck. Mouth on mouth, lips parted, and tongues ventured.
Catching a breath, Maura whispered, "Jane, Do you want to spend the night?"
"I would love to." Came the answer, the last spoken words of the night.
