Thank you all for reading and reviewing :)
Chapter 09
Punctual at 7, Jane rang the doorbell. She wore the red dress that Maura had allowed her to keep. Her dark hair were open, since she knew Maura liked it best. A matching red flower was clipped into one side of her hair. Jane was a bit nervous but happy to see Maura again and spend time with her.
Maura sighed and then had gone upstairs to clean up and dress in a rich royal purple scoop necked top and a pair of black leggings with gold heels. She was sitting in the kitchen drinking wine when the doorbell rang. Her heart sped up. She moved to the door and opened it and Jane took her breath away.
"My god...Jane... that really is you," she said and Jane saw subtle fear behind Maura's eyes as she would step inside the home.
Jane smiled at her softly and stepped inside.
"Thank you." She said and eyed Maura. "You look very beautiful, Maura. Very." She told her truthfully and then slowly leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Her smile got bigger after the kiss and her dimples were showing again.
"Your house is really impressive. So big."
Maura welcomed the kiss and it melted her soul. She smiled back after Jane pulled away.
"It's something to live in," she said with a chuckle as she shut the door and locked it. She then turned to Jane and hugged her, burying her face into the woman's shoulder. She just needed her touch...she feared it would be the last.
Jane wrapped her arms around her gently and closed her eyes for a brief moment, inhaling her sweet perfume. She held Maura for a while in silence before she spoke.
"What are we going to eat? I am starving." The brunette said softly and kept stroking over Maura's back a bit.
"Chinese, " Maura said releasing Jane and then she looked around the kitchen for any sign of Rebecca, when she didn't see her, Maura took her chance. She cupped Jane's face and kissed her deeply. She merged their lips together, nibbling as she kissed Jane.
Jane closed her eyes and kissed the blonde back. Her lips felt so good against her own. She sighed contently as she deepend the kiss and brought a hand up to Maura's cheek gently, caressing it.
"Oh well well, our guest arrived." Rebecca said from the top of the stairs and slowly made her way down. Jane broke the kiss immediatly as she heard the voice of Rebecca.
"Wow Janie, you put alot of effort into your outfit didn't you?" She asked and smiled at her. Jane was too shocked to say anything. As Rebecca had made it down she walked beside Maura and wrapped an arm around her.
"Nice you welcomed our guest but you overdid it a bit." Rebecca said bitter and pressed her lips against Maura's. "Let's eat."
Jane stared at Rebecca and Maura and she could feel her heart tightening in her chest.
Maura stiffened at Rebecca's words and she looked into Jane's confused and shocked face even as an arm wrapped around her and pulled her slightly back. Then Rebecca kissed her and her heart broke. She licked her lips afterwards and looked back over to Jane as she was pulled into the kitchen when Rebecca said let's eat. This was torture...and it was more so for Jane...Maura knew this. This was breaking the young woman's heart...
Jane couldn't move nor breathe for that matter. She felt hot tears burning in her eyes and she stared at the ground. Her head was spinning and she just felt sick.
„Janie, are you coming?" Rebecca asked from the dining room. It took Jane a few moments before she moved towards the dining room and stopped at the doorframe. She swallowed her tears back but couldn't look up into any of their faces.
„I'm afraid I have to...cancel dinner. I forgot I had to study for my exam tomorrow." Her voice cracked in the end and she took a deep breath to keep her tears from falling. Rebecca got up and walked over to Jane, placing a hand on her back.
„That's very impolite to cancel now, Janie. After all you fucked my girlfriend and you should have the grace now to have dinner with me. Don't you think?" She said and guided Jane to the table and made her sit down.
Rebecca knew she had slept with Maura...she couldn't believe it. Rebecca smiled pleased as Jane was seated and walked around the table to sit across from her. Possesivly, she placed a hand on Maura's thigh next to her.
Maura felt horrible for Jane. This was more torture for the young woman than it was for Maura. Rebecca was fully enjoying it and all Maura could do was let it happen.
"Rebecca please, don't do this...ok...just let her go home...She doesn't deserve this...she doesn't," Maura said, looking at the woman sitting next to her.
"Just let her go home..." It was evident in Maura's voice that she just wanted this all to end. Maura looked at Jane and willed her eyes to say that she was sorry to the woman...
"Nobody leaves until I say so." Rebecca said sweetly to Maura and smiled at her. She picked up the winebottle and poured herself a glass, before she poured Maura one as well.
"Wine?" Rebecca asked Jane and the Italian girl shook her head.
"Have some." Rebecca filled her glass with red wine.
"Now, let's eat before it gets cold." She said and picked up her chopsticks next to her plate and started to eat. Jane glanced over to Maura for a moment, before she picked up her own chopsticks. She wasn't hungry anymore and she felt sick. Reluctanly she grabbed a piece of sweet/sour chicken and ate it silently.
"Rebecca...you got what you wanted...don't make her suffer..." she said, but the woman would not have it and then Jane had simply started to eat. Maura took a huge sip of her wine, wanting to forget what was happening. Rebecca was ruthless and Jane did not deserve this.
"Jane, I am sorry...sweetie...I am soo sorry," Maura finally said and looked at Jane who was eating uncomfortably.
Jane's dark brown eyes met Maura's. First she had thought this all had been a set up and Rebecca and Maura had tried to fool her. But it became clear to her that this situation was just as uncomfortable for Maura than it was to herself. She swallowed the piece of chicken. Jane didn't know what to say to Maura, she only looked in her eyes.
"Cat got your tongue?" Rebecca asked and rolled her eyes. "I know what will make you more chatty, have some wine." She said, but Jane only kept looking at Maura. "Have some!" Rebecca demanded and Jane flinched. She grabbed her glass of wine and drank a big gulp. Rebecca smiled at Maura.
"You picked a good chinese. The dinner is fabulous!" She told her.
Maura looked at Rebecca hard.
"Stop forcing her to drink, Rebecca...she doesn't want it," she said, shaking her head. She did not comment about the food. She just finished her glass of wine poured another glass. She swallowed another half of a glass before taking a few bites of the food in front of her. Jane was soo lovely...Maura just wanted to take her and hold her...tell her it was going to be ok...but she had a walk between them...
"And I didn't want her to fuck my girlfriend and she did it anyways." Rebecca said back in a bitter tone of voice. Jane dropped her gaze down to her food again. She was poking around in her food with her chopsticks feeling Rebecca's eyes on her.
"So tell me Janie, how was it fucking Maura?" She asked her bluntly and sipped from her glass of wine. Jane only shook her head and closed her eyes for a brief moment. "Answer!" Her slapped both of her hands flat on the table, causing Jane to flinch again.
"Please...don't." Jane whispered.
Maura had had enough. "Stop this! Rebecca, just stop!" She said and stood from the table, she got up and went around to Jane, not looking at Rebecca as she pulled Jane to her feet and moved her toward the door.
"Come on Jane...go home...please," she said her last word under her breath as she ushered Jane toward the door. She had a few tears fall from her eyes as her back was turned to Rebecca. "I love you...I want you to know that..." she said softly.
"If she leaves now, I will ruin her career and you know I can, Maura. You know it." Rebecca said and stood, looking after them. Jane's head was spinning from this whole situation. It was like a neverending nightmare.
Maura gripped Jane's upper arm to stop her from moving. Her throat tightened. and she turned to face Rebecca who had stood.
"What do you want Rebecca? You already got me...let her go. Don't ruin her life too," she said and shook her head. Maura still held onto Jane as if her life was in her hands.
"I already said what I want." Rebecca said sweetly and smiled at them.
"A nice dinner. Sit down you two. You hardly touched any of your food yet." The woman said and sat down herself, crossing her legs.
"So please, have a seat..." She sipped on her wine.
Maura walked back over with Jane and set her down gently. She patted her shoulder before going to sit back down next to Rebecca.
"That's it? Then you will let her go home?" She said casting a glance at Jane who was now eating silently. She smiled at her and her heart broke, then she turned back to Rebecca.
"Eat Maura before it gets cold." Rebecca said and ate some more of her food as well, studying the silent girl across from her. Jane had to force herself to every new bite. She just felt sick and like crying. Her cheeks flushed from the urge to cry and the heat she was feeling. She couldn't think of any other situation that had been that uncomfortable.
Rebecca seemed to smile at Jane and then she got up and moved over to sit next to her. She wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"It's you, you know. You were not good enough for her..."
"Rebecca!"
"It's nothing personal sweetie...I am just better for her...I am the best for her..." Rebecca said and rubbed Jane's shoulder, looking from her to Maura. Maura's eyes were angry and sad. She was hurting and nothing pleased Rebecca more. She had Maura right where she wanted her.
Jane swallowed hard and closed her eyes as Rebecca said that.
"I'm at least not after her money." The Italian girl whispered and reached for the wine and had another sip. So many feelings were rushing through her body. Hurt. Dissapointment. Anger. Fear. Frustration.
Rebecca laughed and shook her head of blonde hair, shaking Jane slightly and looking at Maura.
"Oh Maura knows that it is a lot more than that for me. The money is a bonus...but her...she is the whole reason for this. I want to possess her." She said and smiled darkly at the woman.
"But I wouldn't mind a little go with you Janie...I think that you at least owe me..."
The Italian girl shook her head at her words. "She doesn't wanna be possessed..." Jane whispered and glanced over to Maura. "And I don't owe you anything. I didn't know you were 'back together'." Jane lied and she broke off the eye contact with the blonde again. She placed her chopsticks aside. There was no way she could eat anymore. Her stomach was tightening more and more.
"You do Jane...you owe me what you took from me..." Rebecca said flatly and held a hand up to Maura who started to speak. She carefully took Jane's chin within her fingers and lifted her head and made her look at her.
"You owe me what you took," she repeated and smiled before she leaned forward and placed a soft kiss to Jane's cheek. "You thought I was going to kiss you, didn't you?" She laughed.
"God Rebecca...just let her go...stop being a bitch..." Maura snapped.
Jane had indeed thought that Rebecca was going to kiss her. Her heart had started to race and she had let out a released sigh as she felt her lips pressing against her cheek, leaving a red lipstick mark.
"I didn't take anything away from you... She is with you not with me." Jane said.
Rebecca laughed again, shaking Jane's head along with her own. "But you did...you took what I hold most special about Maura...her love...her hunger...her pleasure..."
"Stop...I wanted her, Rebecca...I made love to her...I wanted it...I don't even know if she did...but I wanted her...Please just stop this!" Maura pleaded with Rebecca. She just wanted this all to end...especially for Jane.
"Doesn't matter who wanted whom. You cheated on me and she made you cheat, simple as that." Rebecca pointed out. Jane looked down at her hands in her lap, trying to steady her breathing and trying to calm down and relax, which was harder by the second.
"I..I was curious...and wanted to try it. But...after I did that...I know I am not bisexual." Jane lied.
Jane's words instantly hurt Maura and her own gaze now looked down. She sniffed and shuddered. The feelings had been wonderful with Jane...more than wonderful, they had been heaven.
"You don't mean that Jane...you couldn't mean that," she said softly and Rebecca smiled.
"She wouldn't have said it dear..."
Jane didn't wanna hurt Maura, that hadn't been her intention. She extended her foot under the table to slightly kick Maura to make her look at her. All Jane had wanted to do was resucing this situation but she had made it worse for Maura. She kicked Maura again under the table and once she lifted her head Jane gave her a look, hoping she'd understand.
Jane kept her look at Maura as she reached for the glass of wine again and emptied it finally. She could feel her cheeks immediatly flush even more.
"Though Maura deserves someone better than you..." Jane said. She didn't know if the wine made her talk like that or because she saw Maura's hurt face.
Maura made an 'ow' face and glared at Jane, then she saw her eyes and understood. When Jane spoke to Rebecca, Maura watched Rebecca. The woman just laughed and shook her head.
"Oh honey...no one is better for Maura than I. I know how to please her the most...I know this...because I know her," she said and winked at Maura before watching Jane drink the wine. She reached forward and grabbed the bottle to pour Jane another glass.
"Drink up honey...we could battle it out...Say...whomever makes her scream the loudest gets to keep her."
Jane frowned at Rebecca's suggestion. She took another sip from the red wine. Her stomach was practically empty and she felt the heat that was rising inside of her because of the wine. And it was dry wine also, that caused you to get drunk even faster.
"I don't wanna do this..." The Italian girl said and shook her head at Rebecca's suggestion of battling it out.
TBC
Yup, I say it again, Rebecca's a bitch.
