„So everything is alright with you and Tommy?" Maura asked as they sat in the car on their way to the Dirty Robber. It was 7pm, they stayed much longer than they actually had planned to so they didn't stopped by at Maura's place but drove directly to the Robber.
„Yes, everything is alright. Fortunately." Jane nodded, her view was locked on the street as she drove them to the bar. „Now I just need to talk to Frost. Hopefully it won't be that complicated either."
„It's going to be fine, I'm pretty sure of that." the blonde said cheerfully and touched the brunettes' upper arm for some seconds. „I mean, he usually doesn't judge, right?"
She shrugged lightly „You're actually right. But who knows?"
„His mother is gay, Jane. She is going to marry soon, so he can't judge. Probably it's something different, something that can be fixed easily." Maura looked at Jane, her head was tilted a bit and she smiled at her.
„I hope you're right." she looked at her best friend and smiled back at her. „But you're usually right, cause you're a genius." She looked back at the street and stopped the car after some seconds. „We're there." Again she looked at her friend. „It's showtime." she winked at Maura and got out of the car.
Maura just chuckled and followed Jane out of the car. Both of them walked next to each other across the street towards the door of the Dirty Robber. Jane opened the door for the blonde and they entered the bar to walk on the table where Frankie, Frost and Korsak were already sitting.
„Hi." both women said as they stood in front of them. Immediately everyone looked up and greeted them back. Frankie, who sat alone on the bench, slid to the wall so Jane and Maura could sit down next to him.
Jane let Maura sit down first so she sat next to Frankie and Jane next to Maura.
„How was your day, ladies?" Korsak asked at the minute they both sat.
The blonde smiled at him and answered for both of them. „It was pretty good. We visited Tommy and had lunch at his place. Jane and Tommy talked about Sunday evening, why he was upset and ran out of the house without saying a word and now everything is alright between both of them, fortunately. Am I right?"
She turned her head to look at Jane who nodded and smiled at her then at Korsak. „Yes, everything was just a big misunderstanding."
„What about Ma?" Frankie asked, looking at his sister. „Did she talk to you?"
„Everything is alright between us too, she made breakfast on Monday to apologize that she acted like that." the brunette smiled at her brother who smiled too and nodded.
„Well, how was your day, Vince?" Maura then asked politely and everyone except Frost looked at him.
„I'll order a new round, okay?" Frost said before Korsak could answer Maura's question and stood up. Jane stood up as well and said „I'll come with you." The two of them walked to the bar. „You didn't need to come. You know, I can handle beer." he said before he ordered 5 beers.
„I know." Jane said. „But I wanted to talk to you about Sunday."
„There's nothing to talk about Jane." he said with a monotone voice.
„Of course there is. You just walked out without saying anything to me. I'm pretty confused. What is it? Are you upset or angry or don't you accept it?" she looked at him but he looked away. „Or what is it?"
He sighed. „No, I mean yes, I mean…" he sighed again. „I do accept it. Of course I do. I mean how could I say something against your decision? My mother is gay and she is going to marry this wonderful woman soon and I'm so happy for her, so of course I accept it."
„So what is it then? Are you angry or shocked or something like that?"
„I'm surprised, Jane, and a bit upset." he shrugged and was now looking at his partner. „I didn't see that coming, you know? I should have because of the way you sometimes act and about what people say but I just thought, people say a lot when the day is long. So I'm basically upset about myself. That I was that surprised and that I haven't seen it coming. Take alone the way you look at Dr Isles-,"
„Wait, what?" Jane looked at him with big eyes.
„You and Dr Isles. Aren't you a couple? I mean you really do act like a couple and you always look at her like that and so does she."
„No, no we aren't a couple." she shook her head. „She does look at me in that way?" she asked, her voice full of hope.
Frost nodded. „Yes she does. Wow, I really thought you two are together. You really should come together, I know that you have feelings for her and I know that she has feelings for you. It's not hard to tell." he grabbed 3 beers and Jane two.
„She does?" she asked more to herself but Frost nodded and they walked back to the group was laughing at something Frankie just said. They placed the bottles on the table and sat back down opposite of each other and smiled.
„We really should take a cab, Jane. Both of us drank alcohol." Maura said as they walked out of the Dirty Robber, 4 hours later.
„Maura, I only had a beer, and that was 4 hours ago and so did you. So let's get in the car." the brunette opened the car door for her best friend and waited until she was in. Then she walked to the other side of the car and got in as well, she started the car and drove to her place.
They had decided to spend this night at Jane's place because it was near to the bar and they didn't want to drive that long to Maura.
The evening went very well, after Jane had things fixed with Frost, the tension was away and everyone was pretty happy about it. They had told each other about what they had done the past two days, they made jokes and Frankie and Frost drank way too much so the two sober detectives made fun of them, Maura just watched and couldn't hide that she was very amused.
„Everything is fine between you and Frost?" Maura had asked as Jane stopped on a red traffic light.
„Yes, everything is fine. He was just very surprised." she smiled. „So you were right again, like you always are."
The blonde smiled at her friend and leaned back into the seat. Her view was back on the streets and she let her mind wander again.
Okay, we are spending another night together. Not just together, we also are going to sleep in the same bed, I think I can't hide it anymore longer, I'm going to tell Jane how I feel when we are at hers' . I hope so much that she won't run, but maybe she has also planned to tell me. But it's just fair that I should tell her, because I know she feels the same for me and she doesn't know that I have these strong feelings for her.
Why am I that nervous? Basically she is my best friend, I don't have to be nervous. I know she loves me, I really don't have to be that nervous. But I am.
I need a plan.
No stop, no. I can't plan such things, that's impossible because I don't know her reaction to it. She glanced at Jane who was looking at the street, as she felt the glance on her she turned her head and smiled at Maura, who smiled back, and both looked back at the street.
She is so perfect. Why is that woman so perfect?
„We arrived." the brunette ripped Maura out of her thoughts and got out of the car. Maura followed her out of it and they both walked up the stairs to the front door, Jane opened it and let her friend walk in first, then they headed up the stairs to Jane's apartment, again Jane opened the door for Maura who walked in.
„Want something to drink?" the detective asked as she walked to the kitchen.
„Water, please." the doctor answered, sat down on the chair in front of the kitchen counter and watched Jane as she poured water into a glass and grabbed another beer for herself. She handed the water to Maura and sat down on the chair opposite of her friend.
„Thanks." the blonde said before she took a generous sip out of the glass.
After some moments of silence, Jane broke it. „Do you know what's funny?" Maura shook her head, her view was on her friend. „My mother, Tommy and Frost, all three assumed that we were a couple as I told them I was gay." Jane blushed lightly as she said that.
Maura's jaw gapped open and Jane chuckled. „They all said that we would look like a couple, you know?" she took another sip of her beer. „The way we look at each other and so on." she shrugged. „Because we always look at each other like that and-,"
„I wasn't asleep yesterday night." Maura said before she could stop herself, she immediately put a hand against her mouth and Jane opened hers.
„You.. You what? So you heard what I had said?" Jane was shocked and Maura nodded. „God, Maura I'm sorry. If you don't want to know anything about me anymore, I can understand, I mean..do you want to leave? I can,"
But the blonde just shook her head, leaned forward across the table and placed her lips on Jane's. Her lips were soft and better than in any of Maura's dreams, at first Jane was surprised but then she kissed her back and it felt better than anything she had ever done.
Before they could deepen the kiss, they pulled back and smiled at each other. „So you're not mad at me?" Jane said.
„Of course I am not. I'm in love with you Jane, I'm so much in love with you and I was so happy the night you told me that you have feelings for me." she smiled at her friend. „You are the most important person in my life."
This time Jane leaned over the table to capture Maura's lips, she placed her hand on the blonde's cheek to pull her closer into the kiss. „I love you, Maura." she whispered again her lips and this time they deepened the kiss.
Jane stroked her tongue over Maura's lips to ask for entrance which Maura gave immediately, their tongues battled for dominance.
After some seconds Maura pulled away to take a breath and Jane kissed her down her jaw to her neck, a moan slipped out of the doctors mouth and she tilted her head so Jane had more access to her neck.
„Should we continue in my bed?" Jane whispered between the kisses on her best friends neck.
„Jane," Maura said but it came out as a moan, she cleared her throat „Jane." this time the brunette stopped kissing her friends neck and looked at her.
„Did I do something wrong? I'm so sorry, I didn't want to-,"
Maura shook her head and kissed Jane's lips again. „No you didn't do anything wrong, honey. I just.. Can we take things slow, you know?" she looked into the brunettes' chocolate brown eyes.
She smiled and nodded. „Of course Maura, as much time as you need."
Maura smiled and again her lips were on Jane's but this time it was a lovely kiss, full of love and it lasted less than 3 seconds but it still was breathtaking. „But we still can go to bed, because I'm truly very tired." the blonde whispered.
Both women stood up and went to Jane's bedroom to change. Maura borrowed a nightshirt which was a little tight around the chest and they crawled into Jane's bed. Immediately Jane swung an arm around Maura's shoulder to pull her closer, the blonde laid her head on the brunette and wrapped an arm around her waist. She looked up at her, Jane leaned down and they kissed again.
„Good night, Maura." she said and placed another kiss on the doctors forehead.
„Good night, Jane." Maura whispered back, cuddled up against her friend and closed her eyes. „I love you."
„I love you, too."
