To be honest, I've been so excited for this chapter...

When Jane woke the next morning, the bus was still on its way to the south of France. The band wouldn't perform that night, meaning that they had the whole day off and would spent most of that time in the bus. And since Jane still hadn't a single clue about who The Dark Passenger was, she wouldn't leave Sharon's side if they went out today.

The guys decided to be really lazy for one day, and didn't even bother to get dressed and just walked around in their pajama's, or what could count for that. When Ruud came down in only a boxer short, Sharon had sent him back and almost begged him to at least put a T-shirt on. Sharon herself had only changed in a pair of sweatpants and a simple T-shirt that said "Love it or rock it", and Jane figured she'd seen her in almost every kind of outfit. She'd seen her in her stage-outfit, in her normal clothes, in her nighty and with the addition of the lazy-outfit, the only outfit missing was the bathing suit. She shook the thought out of her head and joined the singer on the couch. In front of them, the men were taking turns on the playstation, and Jane always cheered for the other player as Sharon was cheering for.

After 5 rounds, the player Jane had picked had won 4 times, while Sharon's player only won once, because Robert cheated. Ruud noticed the competition between the two woman and tried making it even more excited.

'What if,' he suggested 'the loser has to take off one piece of clothing.' Jane stared at him with a risen eyebrow, but Sharon just hit him with a pillow.

'God, Ruud, what is wrong with you today?!'

Later that evening, the bus finally arrived at the hotel were they would spent the next night before moving to Spain. Everyone left the bus with a single piece of luggage and they were relieved there weren't any fans around. They loved their fans, but they were just too tired to deal with them.

They entered the hotel and got a huge room for all seven of them. The room had three bedrooms, meaning they still had to share, but it was more practical. As usual Mike and Martijn shared a bedroom, Robert shared with Ruud and Jeroen, and Sharon shared her room with Jane. Everyone had set their stuff in their bedrooms and collected in the living part of the room to talk about what they wanted to do the next day.

'I don't care what you want to do, but I just want to sleep the whole day.' Ruud said before lying back and closing his eyes.

'Okay, so Ruud is going to sleep, I want to try out the pool, anyone with me?' Martijn rose his hand and since he was the only one, Robert gave him an high five and the deal was set.

'What do you want to do?'

'Whatever you are doing, I'm not leaving your side.' Jane answered Sharon and felt her phone vibrating while she said the last word. She looked at her phone and saw she had a text from Maura. When she opened it, it simply said two words. "Skype, now." 'Do whatever you want,' Jane said while she stood 'but nothing too crazy. I have to call someone.'

Jane walked to her and Sharon's bedroom, took her laptop out of her bag and sad down on the double bed she shared with the singer. She started her laptop and only half a minute later, Maura called her on Skype.

'Hey Maura, miss me that hard?' Jane asked playful, but the nerves were clearly noticeable in her voice.

'Jane, it's your mother.' And gone was the smile on the detective's face.

'Did she ask about me?'

'She did.'

'What did she say?' She didn't really want to know the answer, but she tried to listen to her friend while she imagined the things her mother could have said.

'She said that she was glad that you left, she doesn't want anyone like you around her. She told me she would enjoy the months you're gone.' Jane slightly nodded while taking in the words.

'She hates me.'

'I'm so sorry, Jane. I wish I was with you right now.'

'Yeah, me too.' Jane saw Maura looking up from her screen and then returning to her.

'Jane,…'

'A new body?'

'I'm sorry…'

'It's okay, go back to work, I'll talk to you later.'

'I really miss you.'

'I miss you too.' Jane whispered back, not sure if her friend heard it.

One of the tears she had fought back, escaped, and when she wiped it away, she saw Sharon standing in the doorway. She walked towards her without saying a word and sat down next to her. She opened her mouth but before she could say anything, they heard a shout coming from the room next door and Sharon sighed.

'Robert! You fucking asshole! Come back!'

'Let's go for a walk.' She smiled and waited for Jane to stand up.

The two of them left the hotel room in silence, and kept silent while they walked through the park that was in front of the hotel. The park was quiet, there were no other people around but the sounds of small animals surrounded them. The sky was clear except for a few small clouds, but the stars weren't visible yet, since the sun hadn't completely set. It was still warm enough to walk around in their t-shirts, but the fresh breeze made the air cooler.

'So, what happened between you and your mom?' Sharon asked when they had walked around for a few minutes.

'We had a fight.' Jane answered while keeping her eyes on the ground.

'So I figured, but why?' Jane sighed.

'She freaked out when I told her I am gay, and now she hates me.'

'That sounds terrible…'

'It is, believe me.'

'Hey, if there's anything I can do to help, just tell me, okay?' Sharon said while placing her hand on Jane's arm.

'What could you do?'

'I don't know… I don't know what it's like to be in your situation, my parents were really understanding when I told them.' Jane stopped and looked with a shocked face at the other woman.

'You are…?'

'Into woman? Yes, that's why Robert and I broke up.'

'But, I did research on you, I didn't…'

'The world doesn't know.' Sharon interrupted her. 'The band doesn't even know, except for Robert. We thought it wouldn't be good for the band's image, that's why I keep it a secret.'

'Then, why are you telling me this?'

'Maybe, because I like you?' She answered while she stroked Jane's arm. The detective shivered and closed her eyes for half a second. 'Jeroen is right, you know. You are beautiful, and brave… Your girlfriend is really lucky.'

'I don't have a girlfriend.' Jane whispered 'Maura is my best friend, but not my girlfriend.'

'She isn't?' Their eyes locked, and neither of them was able to look away from the brown eyes in front of them.

'No, she isn't.' A little smile appeared on Sharon's face.

'Good.' She moved her hand from Jane's arm to her neck and leaned up.

The moment their lips met, was breathtaking, literally.

They both closed their eyes and Sharon threw her arms around Jane's neck when the detective's arms wrapped around her body while kissing her back. Jane didn't know if she was imagining the sound of it, or if there just was someone shooting firework into the air, but it didn't matter. Regardless if the fireworks were really there or not, the kiss just felt perfect.

When they broke apart, neither of them managed to look away of those brown eyes and the smile on the other's face, the little blush on their cheeks.

'Let's go back.' Jane suggested when she felt Sharon's goosebumps in her neck.

The singer just nodded, and intertwined their fingers while walking back to the hotel.

So, reviews?
