Rizzles rated M
Frustrated with how her morning started Jane stormed into the office at 8am, with only work on her mind. She began by signing off on invoices and placing customer quality calls. By 3 o'clock Jane was on her 8th cup of coffee, or was it her 9th, and her leg was bouncing behind her desk. If she was ever going to talk to the guys about what Wagglepedia said it was now or never. Fueled by caffeine and anxiety Jane popped up from behind her desk. Walking out of her office she saw Frost typing away on his computer and Korsak on the phone. She knew Frankie was out surveying and Crowe was with Martinez on an installation.
Frost looked up from his computer and smiled at his boss and friend. She returned the smile, turning to Korsak mouthed 'You got a minute?'. He nodded pointing at that phone held up his hand suggesting he'd be done in 5 minutes. Jane pulled a chair up between the two men's desks and waited patiently.
Once Korsak was off the phone she brought up Wagglanns proposal. The men were silent as Jane spoke, only nodding slightly to show they were following along. She finished with a heavy sigh and unltimately giving them her decision.
"I'm going to take Wagglann's advice. I'm going to officially fire Tommy, apologize and offer to file jointly." She had to wait now and hope they agreed with her.
Korsak was the first to speak. He looked at her solemnly and cleared his throat.
"I fully support your decision Janie, it couldn't have been an easy one. We're all going to get through this." He gave a halfhearted smile and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"We're all in this together Jane, we've got your back." Frost smiled.
"I'll let Frankie know when he gets back. Could you let the guys know? It's going to be hard enough talking to my brother about this and I don't even wanna think about telling Ma yet." Jane said, relieved her friends had her back.
An hour later Frankie walked in and Frost let him know Jane needed to speak with him. He walked into his sister's office and closed the door. A half hour later they both walked out talking baseball. Frankie looked at Korsak and Frost and nodded. He was on board, as were Crowe and Martinez.
Jane looked at her crew and clapped her hands together smiling.
"Well hasn't this been a cheery day, I say we finish up here for the day and head over to 'Locke & Key'. First rounds on me!" Jane smiled at the guys, she needed to keep their moral up. She still had a business to run. For now.
Maura was excited to be back in Boston, though she left the few people she could call friends, it was nice to be back home. Her mother was happy she was home, never fully understanding or supporting Maura's unique career choice. Still Maura was eager have a fresh start, to finally work in one place and explore new aspects of her career. As a concierge doctor she had the opportunity and was often required to travel and traveling was something she loved. She hadn't found a new job before moving, but with her parents running their foundation from the area she knew if she needed she would have plenty of contacts. Not that she like using them, she much rather prefer to gain everything independently.
Even though had yet to secure a job, she still found time to go out. Friday she spent most of the morning shopping and in the afternoon picked up lunch for herself and ate it the park. The day overall was quite lovely however she still felt like she was missing something. When she was living in _ she and her coworkers had gone out dancing almost every night. So she decided that was exactly what she was going to do.
It was roughly 7pm so Maura decided to jump in the shower. While there she thought of where to go, but nothing came to her. "I'll just drive downtown and see what strikes me." The blonde said to herself. Turning off the water she walked for the shower sans towel, who did she have to be modest for.
As she stood in front of her expansive wardrobe she chose a dark pair of skin tight jeans, simple black kitten heels and an emerald top that shimmered. Underneath, as to prevent an unwanted panty line, she chose a black thong and matching lace demi-bra. With one last check on her hair and makeup she grabbed her green snakeskin clutch, car keys and made her way out to her car.
Jane was more than happy to grab a drink with the guys on any night suggested. Just not with all that was on her mind lately and just not tonight. Still she found herself sitting at the bar with her friends and brother. They shared laughs as the drinks flowed. Jane was steadily building herself a pyramid of plastic shot glasses. They started out with shots of Jameson to celebrate Frankie sealing the Isles deal. They moved onto Patron an hour or so later, the exact reason escaped Jane. She liked the way it went down so easily, so much in her life lately was hard to swallow. It was comforting that this tiny plastic cup could bring that warm feeling she needed and it didn't burn. Frankie was in the middle of a story when the music got louder and they all smiled and looked at the dance floor. 'Mr. Saxobeat' was playing and they'd all had enough to drink to feel comfortable enough to let loose and dance. Korsak stumbled over to Jane and held out his hand. She laughed and pushed his hand away.
"Not a chance old man" Jane smirked. "Not that drunk"
Korsak brought his hand to his chest. "I'm hurt!" he stated, then laughed and ordered another round of shots for him and Jane. They tapped tiny the plastic cups together and tipped them back. Jane didn't know what she just drank, but it wasn't as kind as the tequila. Her eyes watered and she looked up at Korsak, his eyes were edging on bloodshot but she knew the question they held. He wanted her to talk about Liz and Jane wasn't ready.
"No, not tonight! Maybe not ever, but definitely not tonight." She clamped her eyes shut and shook it off. Standing, probably a bit to quickly she turned to the older man and smiled.
"Come on, I owe you a dance for that drink." The two laughed as they made their way out to the small dance floor.
Frost had moved his tie from its logical place around his neck and was now sporting an interesting head dress. He seemed to had also collected Frankie's tie as well and was doing what could only be described as an 'Avant-garde' version of the Macarena. Jane busted out her cabbage patch and running man, to counter Korsaks robot. As the next song came on at a much slower pace the group stopped moving and everyone paired off. Not two steps in they all looked at each other and doubled over in laughter. The group headed back to the bar for another round.
While walking off the dance floor Jane brushed past a beautiful blonde who shot her a sweet smile. Jane responded with an arched eyebrow and flirty smile of her own. Back at the bar Jane joined the guys in another round but couldn't take her eyes off the woman on the dance floor. They way she moved her hips had Jane distracted. The brunette blinked a few times and swallowed hard. Those jeans, she thought, looked as if they'd been painted on. God and those heels, they weren't exactly 'do me' heels but more like 'fuck me gently' ones instead. Frost mumbled something about Frankie being too drunk and taking him home, Jane just nodded as the two stumbled for door. The bar tender placed another shot and a beer in front of her, she smiled and tipped them back in succession.
Jane wasn't drunk. She had long since passed drunk and was pretty sure her blood was about 80 proof in and of itself. She was also done building an impressive pyramid of shot glasses and in fact started in on building some kind of beer glass monolith. Point being, Jane Rizzoli was the proper amount of drunk to feel good. Her level of intoxication was evident, even more so since she had only just realized she was no longer sitting at the bar and was instead dancing. Not just dancing, but grinding into someone. Her hips were firmly pressed into the rear of the body in front of her as they moved against each other. She tried to focus. The person was a bit shorter than her and blonde, honey blonde to be specific. Jane's left arm was wrapped around the person's waist, a woman person. Jane smirked as she slowly realized it was the blonde from before.
