„Maura," she whispered as the credits of National Treasure 2 were on screen. „Maura, wake up. Let's go to bed." she stroked her cheek softly and Maura's eyes fluttered open, hazel eyes met chocolate brown's. A smile crossed their faces.
The blonde recognized that her head was on Jane's lap, so she sat up and stretched herself. „Is the movie over?" she then asked, turning to look at the detective, her voice barely a whisper.
Jane nodded, stood up and offered Maura her hand. She took it and stood up as well, then grabbed the remote which laid on the living room table and turned off the TV. „Good night, Jane." the blonde said with a smile on her face as she looked back at her best friend.
„Night, Maura." With that she headed towards the guest room. „Sleep well!" Maura watched her walking to the guest room and closing the door. „Sleep well, too!" her voice a whisper and the guest room door was closed, so she walked towards her bedroom, opened and closed the door as she entered. „What for a day," she talked to herself, looking into the mirror and rubbed her palms over her face.
After going through her nightly routine, the doctor sneaked into her bed and pulled the covers up until under her chin. She turned to the side and glanced into the blackness of her bedroom as she started to let her mind wander through the dinner and the evening.
Why didn't I ask her earlier about her sexual orientation? It should had to be obvious to me that she's not only into men and only into woman. She told me, well she mentioned it - once, that she had this relationship with that woman from the Academy. I didn't think about it further.
I don't even know why I worry about it now; she needs me at the moment. Some support from me.
But i definitely wonder why Barry reacted that way. I always thought he wouldn't mind about sexual orientation. Maybe he's also just surprised and shocked like Angela and hopefully Angela won't need that much time, cause I don't think that Jane can take it anymore longer without regretting that she came out and that would be more than bad.
Well, I'll talk to her tomorrow when Jane is out for a walk with Jo Friday.
What a mess! She sighed, closed her eyes and a few minutes later she was asleep.
The smell of coffee woke Jane Rizzoli up. Her eyes opened slowly to get used to the light of the sun which shined though the windows of the room. With the palms of he hand she rubbed her eyes and opened them again. At first she wondered where she was, but remembered after some seconds. She was in Maura's guest room. Her view wandered to the clock on the nightstand on the left. 8:38.
She swung her legs out of the bed and sat up. Then she left the guest room only in her over-sized Red Sox Jersey and boxers to follow the smell of coffee that woke her up. The second as she stepped out of the room, a little dog ran towards her „Good morning, Jo Friday," she whispered and reached down to pick her up.
With her dog in her arms, jane entered the kitchen and was clearly surprised to see not Maura in the kitchen making coffee but her mother.
„Good morning, Jane." Angela said as she saw her daughter standing in the corner of the kitchen, a smile on her face and her hand held a pan with pancakes in it.
„G'morning, Ma!" the brunette mumbled with a husky, still sleepy voice and was now walking towards her mother. „What are you doing here?" she let Jo Friday to the ground again.
Angela flipped the pancake, „I'm making you breakfast, dear." she handed Jane a cup of coffee she just made, put the pancake on a plate and handed it to her as well. „I saw your car was still in front of the house, so I guessed that you probably stayed the night," she smiled at her daughter who wasn't sure if she should smile back.
Angela continued „I wanted to apologize, Janie. I acted like a jerk. Of course I support you and I'll always love you and be proud of you. I don't care who you're going to love and which gender the one has. Can you forgive me?" While she spoke, she had turned to face Jane and took her hand, rubbing her thumb over the back of her hand.
Now the dark brunette couldn't hide her smile anymore „Of course I forgive you, Ma!" she pulled her into a tight embrace even if she's not a hugger, but she knows that her mother is.
After some seconds, she pulls away again and looks at her mother. „Wanna join me?" she pointed to her breakfast and sat down on a chair in front of the kitchen counter.
„I would love to, but I can't. I'm going to meet Tommy in half an hour, it's my turn to babysit TJ. But I put some pancakes into the oven for you and Maura, when she wakes up," she grabbed the pan and placed it into the sink, then she walked to her daughter again, kissed her temple and stroked softly over her head, she often did when Jane was a younger. „See you later. I love you."
Her lips switched into a big smile „I love you, too, Ma." she watched her mother leave the house and looked back at her plate. She loved her mothers' pancakes, she took a huge bite and sipped her hot coffee. Both tasted fantastic.
Suddenly Maura came around the corner, dressed in a matching pajama and still looking very sleepy. „Good morning, Maura." Jane said cheerfully „Want to have breakfast? My Ma made pancakes for us and there's still coffee for you in the can."
„Angela was here?" she frowned in surprised and glanced questioningly at her best friend.
„Yes, she just left some minutes ago." she shoved the last piece of pancake into her mouth and walked to the cupboard. „ So you want breakfast?" she asked again, looking at her friend who nodded. „Okay, sit down."
Maura obeyed and sat down next to Jane's chair. She watched as Jane took out a plate for her, walked to the oven, placed a pancake on it, grabbed cutlery and handed it to her who took it. „Thank you." And seconds later they sat next to each other, Jane took another pancake and brought Maura a cup of coffee.
„So what are our plans for today?" the blonde asked after emptying her mouth.
Jane thought for a moment before answering „Hm, how `bout jogging?" she didn't care that her mouth was still full as she spoke.
Maura nodded „Sounds good, we can go to that restaurant near the park afterwards for lunch." she suggested.
The brunette only nodded cause she just shove a huge piece of pancake into her mouth. Maura shook her head at that scene but also smiled at it. She finished her pancake, drank the last sip of her coffee and headed towards the dishwasher to put her dirty dishes in it.
At that moment Jane also finished with her breakfast and followed Maura towards the dishwasher to do the exact same.
„I'm going to take a shower and change." the doctor explained and started walking to the bathroom.
„Really? You're going to take a shower before jogging? That's unnecessary, Maur." Jane walked towards the guest room while saying that.
„It's not, Jane. I always take a shower before and after jogging." both now stood in the doorframe of their rooms, looking at each other.
Jane shrugged „If you think so, just..hurry!" and with that she entered the guest room again.
„I still think it wasn't necessary to take a shower," Jane said as they jogged through the park next to each other, it was the perfect jogging weather. The sun shone and it was a bit windy so they didn't heat up that fast.
Maura rolled her eyes, but didn't replied on that sentence because she didn't want to bring up that discussion again. Instead she asked her friend a question „So, Jane," she looked at her, grinning and Jane immediately got that look on her face she gets when she thinks something difficult, maybe uncomfortable is going to come. „Do you have an eye on someone?" she winked.
Jane groaned because she hated such questions, but didn't refuse to answer „No, Maura. I don't."
„You sure? Well obviously some women have an eye on you. For example the women from ‚Merch', you remember? The ones you had a ‚date' with. I think the last one was very pretty."
„No, just no. Are you going to turn into my mother? If I would be interested do you think I wouldn't call or email them?!"
Maura was kind of relieved that she had no interest in them, but also couldn't stop teasing Jane. Even if it's not quite right, but she enjoyed the way Jane acted when she tried to pair her off.
„Who knows, Jane? I could sign you up on one of those dating websites." she didn't miss the death-gaze Jane gave her. „I'm just kidding. But how about that woman who always looks at you at the precinct? She obviously likes you and I think she's kind of pretty, what do you think?"
„What for a woman at the precinct?" Jane asked confused.
„The one who always stares at you, Jane. Didn't you notice her? She's always in the café when you are and once we took the elevator to the morgue, she was in it the whole way down but she's not in my team, she's in ADA." Jane still looked at her in confusion. „You really didn't notice her, right?"
„No I didn't. What's her name? May I know her."
The blonde felt her stomach clench at the interest of Jane towards the ADA woman „Megan Robin, or something like that. I'm not sure."
„Ah, Megan Robinette. Yes I know her, we once worked together and I often see her at the gym. She's very nice, but I don't think she likes me that way." Jane shook her head in disbelieve.
„Well, I do think so. Wanna ask her out?" Maura smiled at her, even if the smile didn't reach her eyes completely.
„I don't know." she shrugged „let me think about it."
Maura wanted to change topics but also wanted to stay at this one, so she said „I heard you had more relationships with women than this one with that girl from the Academy. Tell me more about it. I wanna know every single one of them."
Again Jane let out a groan but started to tell her about her first girl crush at the age of 16, her PE teacher.
