Chapter 10

Lisbon was sitting on her couch, eating ice cream in her PJs, under a blanket. She had been in this position for over an hour, hoping that her phone would ring and Jane would be on the other end. Why she was hoping for this, she didn't know. She was the one who broke it off and ruined any chance that she could've had with the man she had come to trust more than anyone she had met before. But what she wouldn't give to have his lips on her skin just one more time. No man had ever made those butterflies in her stomach attack her so intensely.

She wondered if he got her CD and note and if had for got his anger long enough to read and listen to it. It had been hard for her to write that letter without crying, not wanting to ruin all she had written. After hearing that song and realizing how close the lyrics are to her feelings, she came to the not-so-surprising conclusion that she was in love with the witty, blue-eyed consultant and she couldn't deny her feelings any longer.

She had gone to Minelli the day before and talked to him, begging him to give this relationship a chance; that she would make sure it would stay out of the office. After an hour of convincing, she was happily surprised to hear him say yes.

"If you promise, Lisbon, to keep this out of the office and make sure to keep him under your watch at all times, then I am willing to make this exception," Minelli said. "I'm doing this for a) we need our consultant back for-even though I hate to say it-help closing cases before another team snatches him up and b) I want to see you happy. You spend so much time and effort at work that I wonder if you have any time for anything else. You deserve this, Teresa, so please bring our consultant back."

"Thank you, Sir! I will try," Lisbon replied, unable to hide the giddy smile on her lips. Leaping from her chair, she gave Minelli a hug and ran out the door, a plan already formulating in her head.

Now it's all up to whether Jane decides to go on his trip around the world or not. She hoped that she was enough to convince him to stay.

Suddenly, something extremely cold touched her skin. Looking down, she realized that her spoon missed her mouth completely and the ice cream landed on her chest, also managing to catch her tank top on the way down. She got up and went to the bathroom to wash off the sticky chocolate ice cream, then mode to her bedroom to chance in to the only PJ top she had left: an extremely holey top. I really need to do the laundry, she thought to herself.

While on her way back to the couch, her doorbell rang. She quickly looked down at what she was wearing, considering throwing on a regular shirt, but quickly shoved the thought away. Screw it, she thought.

Without looking through the peephole, Lisbon swung the door open coming face to face with the person she wouldn't have expected to see in a very long time. "Jane. What are you doing he-" Before she could get the rest of the question out of her mouth, Jane had pressed his hand over it.

"Just listen to me, okay? Don't say anything and please don't bite my hand. I won't take it away until I'm sure you won't speak. Are you going to speak?" She silently shook her head no and he removed his hand. Keeping with the promise, she gestured to the couch, offering him a seat. He nodded and took her hand, leading them to the couch.

He sighed a little and turned to look at her. He smirked as his eyes traveled down her clothing, noticing that the shirt she was wearing was showing just enough skin to make him curious about the rest of her body under the clothing. Shaking his head slightly, he cleared his mind of those thoughts and focused on what he was going to say

"I got your CD and letter. Just so you know, I love you too. I have for so long, and even when you broke it off, I didn't stop loving you. I had the guys helping me move just so I could see how you were. I couldn't stand not having you there to annoy or just talk to. But I figured that it would have been best if I just left, helped us both move on, but I realized that you're the reason I moved on in the first place and I could leave you behind. I was going to come anyways, whether you rejected me or not, but I was hesitant. Thankfully your letter came, giving me the courage to come here."

Lisbon just sat there, staring at him, wanting to say something, but remembering his request that she don't speak. Jane seemed to remember this too after a moment without a reply. "Oh, right, you can speak now."

With a smirk playing on her lips, Lisbon leaned forward and pressed her mouth to his. This kiss wasn't like their first, slow and sweet. This one was intense, immediately hot. Jane had his hands in her hair, holding her mouth to his, not wanting to let go. Lisbon grabbed hold of his shirt, pulling herself into his lap. Lisbon pulled her mouth from his with one last peck, and moved her mouth along his jaws, feeling it tense up beneath her mouth. Smirking once more, she moved to the one spot she discovered the last time they were together, right behind his ear.

He moaned as she sucked the sensitive skin into her mouth, and she felt him grow beneath her legs. She moved her mouth to his ear, whispering, "Well, hello," as her hand moved slowly down between them. "I've missed you."

"What about me?" he chuckled. Lifting her up, he carried her into her bedroom.

"I've missed you most of all."

Sitting up in the early morning light, Lisbon looked down at the beautiful, sleeping consultant. She leaned down, pressing her mouth to his, felling a smile spread on his lips. "Morning. Time to get ready for work."

"Work?" His faced mirrored confusion. "I resigned."

"I got you your job back and Minelli said he would give us a chance. You just have to control yourself."

"I'll try my best. For you, for us."

Kissing him once more, Lisbon made her way out of bed, ready to make some coffee. Turning her head back to him, she left saying, "I'm glad you didn't choose Susan. She definitely couldn't love you more that I can."

"Don't I know it." Smiling, he followed her out of the bedroom and into the kitchen.

The End
