The evening wasn't that cold as Jane went for a walk with Jo Friday. Maura wanted to join her but she preferred to be alone, she told her that she could chose what they are going to have for dinner, so Maura stayed to prepare or order it for them.
The afternoon they had was very lovely. After lunch, they met Frankie and his new girlfriend, no one knew about her and Jane and Maura were the first ones who knew about her and met her.
Maura had asked Jane after they had met them if she wanted to stay another night at her's and Jane had agreed. Of course she had. Now Maura prepared dinner and Jane walked around the block, mentally going through the day and the first thing she thought of was the questions about the women and everything Maura had asked her.
Why is Maura trying to pair me off? Gosh, I always thought she may has romantic feelings for me, but obviously I was wrong. But all the flirting the past years, I really thought it was real. May I just made up everything and she actually just wants to be my best friend and nothing more.
May I really should go out with Megan Robinette, I don't know. I mean I can't just turn off my feelings for Maura.
Maybe I should just tell her how I feel, what can go wrong?.. Oh yes. Everything! But I can't look at her every day and hide my feelings. I try my best everyday but when she smiles at me it's so hard not to pull her closer and kiss her adorable lips, god yes, they are adorable, she is adorable, everything about her.
I will tell her, but at first I wanna fix things with Frost and Tommy. But what if they don't wanna know anything about me anymore? And what if Maura also don't wanna know anything about me after I told her?
That would be more than horrible, I can't live without her, for heaven's sake.
Why does everything has to be so complicated?
She walked back to Maura's home with Jo Friday following her.
As she entered the house a wave of delicious smelling food came to her. She walked into the kitchen where the dinner was already ready to eat, Spaghetti carbonara, now she realized that she was away for very long, her view wandered to the clock in the kitchen, for 35 minutes.
„Maura, that looks and smells delicious." she said as she turned to her friend who took a beer out of the fridge and handed it to her. „Thanks." Jane said as she accepted it.
„I really hope it tastes as good as it smells and looks." Maura smiled at Jane and sat down on a chair in front of the kitchen counter where the food was placed. „You coming?" she asked without looking back at Jane.
The detective now hurried to sit down next to her friend who already began to eat. Now she shoved a forkful spaghetti into her mouth „Gosh, that tastes amazing, Maur!" she announced with a full mouth.
„I'm glad to hear that you like it, Jane." the honey blonde said and smiled at the brunette who was smiling back as she swallowed the spaghetti.
After their dinner, they got comfortable on the couch. Maura sat on it, her feet were placed on the table and she had Jane's legs on her lap who laid on the couch, her head was placed on the armrest. Both of them looked at the TV where Maura turned on a documentary about science because insisted that tonight they would watch anything Maura wanted to.
„What are your plans for tomorrow?" the doctor asked after some minutes had passed. Her eyes were still locked on the screen.
„I wanted to visit Tommy and talk to him about Sunday evening, you know? Hopefully he won't shut me out, I really want to fix things with him, I mean he's still my little brother. And after that may we could have lunch if you have no plans and then I would love to invite Frost to talk to him about Sunday, he also reacted like Tommy but not that bad. I really wonder why he reacted like that. He actually isn't a person who judges fast I thought, maybe I was wrong or maybe he was just surprised, I hope I can find out tomorrow."
The detective shrugged „And in the evening we're all going to the Dirty Robber, I hope you didn't forget about it. Did you?" she looked at her friend and raised her eyebrow.
„Of course I didn't forget, Jane." Maura answered „And it would be lovely to have lunch with you tomorrow, I really don't have any plans than going through some records."
„So you may wanna come to visit Tommy as well? I mean, he likes you so may he won't act like a jerk when you're around. Only if you want to, so do you?"
„I don't know if it's such a good idea," she said truthfully „He's your brother and this is about you so I think I would just bother you two. I think I'll stay here and finish my records." she nodded.
„Okay. Yes, may you're right. What a question, you're always right, you're Maura Isles." Jane chuckled.
„I'm not always right, sometimes I'm also very, very wrong." Maura looked at her friend for a short while before returning her view to the screen again.
After a few minutes of silence, the doctor could hear a peaceful breathing next to her. She turned to the right and saw her friend fell asleep, Maura decided not to wake her until she would go to bed.
She looks so peaceful when she's asleep. May it's creepy but I love to watch her when she's asleep, because she won't get uncomfortable while I'm looking at her that long. I wish I could take her into a tight embrace, kiss her a good night kiss and sleep next to her, that would be heaven for me.
But unfortunately she's not mine. Not at all. I hope so much that she won't decide to go on a date with Megan Robinette, and I hope she would recognize that I'm flirting with her for very long now. Maybe I should just tell her that I'm not only into men but also into women, especially this one woman right next to me, that beautiful, pretty, honest, wonderful, gorgeous woman.
She sighed softly and traced two fingers over Jane's cheek. Her skin is so soft. I would love to feel it on mine, that would definitely be more that great. Why can't I just kiss her right now?
Her fingers stayed for a moment on the brunettes' cheek, the blonde never took an eye away from her until she shifted in her sleep and Maura pulled her hand away from her cheek and looked back to the screen which she didn't find that interesting anymore.
An hour and a half later, the documentary ended, so Maura decided to wake up her friend. She put her feet down from the table so she could lean forward to Jane. „Jane! Wake up, honey. It's time to go to bed." she said, her voice was a bit quieter than normal but also louder than a whisper.
With her right hand she pushed Jane's dark brown hair out of her face and stroked over her cheek again. „Jane, honey. Wake up." she said again a little bit louder than the last time.
She opened her eyes slowly, at first looking disoriented but as she saw Maura's face she smiled and blinked some times. „I fell asleep." her voice was husky, the blonde loved when her voice was husky like that.
„I know, Jane. About one and a half hours ago." she smiled while saying this and watched Jane's eyes go wide. „We should go to bed now. The documentary is over and I'm pretty tired. I bet you're too, am I right?"
Her dark brown locks fell into her face again as she nodded in agreement. She sat up, pulled her feet away from Maura's lap and placed them on the floor, now she stretched herself a bit and stood up. Her friend did the same so that both stood directly in front of each other.
„Good night, detective." Maura couldn't hide her smirk turned and walked into her bedroom without waiting for a ‚goodnight' from her best friend. She did her nightly routine and crawled into her bed, looking up to the ceiling.
Some minutes passed and the door to her bedroom opened and closed again, she heard footsteps on the floor walking towards the left side of her bed and felt someone crawling into the bed, laying next to her.
„I thought you may want some company, because I definitely want some. And I didn't even had a chance to say goodnight to you." Jane's husky voice said suddenly almost whispering.
„I always want your company, Jane." she smiled and came closer to her friend who laid on the back. She herself laid on the side, so she rested her head on Jane's shoulder and closed her eyes again. „Goodnight again, Jane."
„Good night, Maura." some minutes passed and Maura's breathing switched so Jane assumed that she already fell asleep. She looked down at her friend, raised her left hand and wiped some strands of honey blonde hair out of her face.
She so beautiful. Jane thought while watching her best friend sleep. Her right arm now wrapped around her waist to pull her closer because she enjoyed the closeness of her friend.
„I love you, Maura." she whispered, nearly breathed, her head bend down to kiss her on her forehead, she rested longer as she normally did and was very glad she was still asleep. I love you! She said in her head again.
„I wish I had the courage to just tell you how I feel and not just when you're asleep." her voice still barely a whisper. „You're so beautiful, in so many ways. Probably you don't even have the same feelings for me like I have for you, I'm almost completely sure. But I still want to tell you how I feel because it doesn't seem fair that I won't tell you."
She stroked with her left hand over Maura's cheek „You're more than just my best friend, even if you won't share my opinion. I really hope I won't lose you by telling you how I'm feeling for you, because I could not cope with that." she sighed.
„Gosh, I guess I'm going crazy. I'm talking with my sleeping best friend." she chuckled lightly and let out a long breath. „Goodnight, beautiful." she kissed her forehead again but this time not that long. Then she closed her eyes and within minutes she was asleep so she didn't notice the smile that was on Maura Isles' face now.
