Jane pulled her into his arms and carried her into his apartment.
" S-sorry, Jane …" Lisbon whispered.
" Please don't be sorry! How long have you been outside? You're totally wet! " He asked seriously worried.
" I-I don't know…I'll t-tell you e-everything later! " She said. Carefully he sat her down on his couch and got her some dry clothes. " Here; put that on, please!" He said quietly.
She stood up and went into the bath room.
When she came out again, he was sitting on the couch with two cups in front of him.
She sat down next to him, still shivering.
" Drink that. It gives you warmth! " He handed her one cup.
" Thank you. " She smiled. After the first few sips, she felt a lot better.
" So now tell me what happened, please. " He begged.
" I'm so sorry… I came here to apologize for everything!" Tears started filling her eyes again." After you left, I realized that you were right. And that I can't live without you.
But it was too late…" She whispered and does something, she had never before; she told him everything what happened in the last few hours. Even everything she felt. Shocked he listened to her opening up to him like this.
" Finally I thought that even if I destroyed everything, I should come and ask you to forgive me! I only could hope… Hope that you still love me, because I do. I love you so much! " She cried. Instantly he took her in his arms again, comforting her.
" Damn! You silly little Teresa… How could you ever think that I won't love you! Why the hell had you to ran through the rain all night! If you wouldn't have come to mine, you probably would be laying somewhere on a street! " He breathed with a mixture of worry, happiness and relief in his voice.
When he listened to her slow breath, he smiled. She had fallen asleep in his arms.
Carefully he laid her onto his lap and stroke her head lovingly.
She sighted and curled up as close as possible to him. Some time later he wrapped his arms around her sleeping body and carried her into his bedroom. She couldn't sleep on the couch like him! Especially not when she needed to sleep that much.
Around 5 am she woke up and looked around panicking until she saw Jane sitting next to her.
" Shhhh… I'm here! " He said softly and hugged her tightly. " What's the problem? "
" Only a nightmare. " She whispered, glad that she was not alone. " I'm better now, thanks. "
" Ok… Now try to sleep again. " He smiled.
" No, I can't. " She answered. Confused he looked at her and saw that her eyes were sparkling. " At least not now…" She whispered and kissed him passionately.
Both were shocked by how wonderful it felt.
" I think I'm going to sleep a lot better now! " She breathed and laid her head down on his chest.
" I'm sure you will. " He answered and she closed her eyes again. " Remember: I love you and nothing's ever going to change that."
