Chapter 3

Red Satin Sheets

After heading to Lisbon's apartment soaking wet they changed out of their clothes and took a shower (together!) and got into bed with their new red satin sheets that Lisbon bought 2 days ago. They held each other close and Lisbon could not stop staring at her beautiful engagement ring. Their hands were intertwined with each other and they stared lovingly into each others eyes. Lisbon's head was resting on Jane's chest and she was about to fall asleep when suddenly her phone went off. It was Van Pelt. Lisbon sent Grace a picture of the ring and Grace sent that picture to Rigsby and Rigsby sent it to Cho. The message from Van Pelt read, "OMG that is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen! Red looks good on you Boss, Jane did a great job. I'm soo happy for you guys! Congratulations!" Lisbon texted back, "Thank you Grace! I am definitely the luckiest girl in the world!" Rigsby then texted Lisbon and said, "That's awesome Boss! Congrats to you and Jane!" Lisbon texted back, "Thanks Rigsby!" And finally Cho texted Lisbon back just saying simply, "Congrats guys!" Lisbon and Jane looked at the text and just laughed. "Good ole Cho!", said Jane. Lisbon then put her phone down on the nightstand while Jane wrapped her arms around her. "Goodnight Mrs Jane", said Jane lovingly. "I like the sound of that Mr Jane. Goodnight", said Lisbon. They kissed and drifted off to sleep. Well at least Lisbon did. Jane was still wide awake even at 2:00 in the morning. He tossed and turned, slept every different way but nothing worked and finally he got out of bed and went downstairs into the kitchen and made himself a pot of tea. The sound of the tea kettle going off filled up the whole apartment and Jane knew it would wake Lisbon up. He could hear her coming down the stairs in her Chicago Bears jersey and boxers. Lisbon looked at Jane as he fixed them both a cup of tea, "Patrick are you ok?" "Yeah I'm ok", said Jane. Lisbon got closer to him and held his hand and looked into his blue eyes and knew that something was deeply wrong. "Tell me the truth Patrick please?" Jane sighed and took her hand and dragged her to the couch, trying to think of the right words to say. "Are you having doubts?! Do you regret proposing to me!?", Lisbon said suddenly with tears starting to fill her eyes. "Of course not Teresa! I love you with all my heart! Proposing to you was one of the biggest decisions of my life and I don't regret it one bit! I can't wait for you to be my wife!" He kissed her and held her hand and looked into her green eyes that he loved so much as he told her what has been keeping him awake at night, "I've been thinking about Red John a lot. I know he is dead and I know you killed him but I feel like he is still watching me. Like he is still torturing me and I feel like he is going to take you away from me and I get scared and I wake up sweating and that's why I woke up tonight." As Jane was saying all of this to Lisbon, he had tears in his eyes and all Lisbon could do was hold him and tell him that everything was going to be all right. Even though Red John had been dead for 3 years, he still had this tremendous hold on Jane and Lisbon wondered if he would ever be able let him go, even though he is starting a new, happier life with her. She loved Jane very much and she wants to spend the rest of her life with him, but part of her is wondering if he will ever be able to let go of the murderous monster who killed his first family.
