Chapter 6- rewind
Jane walked into work in a much brisker pace than usual, an ecstatic grin on his face. With his chin held high, he walked into the office and sat on his couch, waiting for all of his colleagues to arrive. Today they were going to inspect the ongoing investigation of a man who'd been found dead in an alleyway behind a club- he'd probably got into a drunken fight or something, or at least that was Jane's prediction (and he was usually right about these things).
It wasn't long before Kim arrived, massaging her head, 'how can you be smiling,' she groaned as she spotted Jane's face.
'It's a nice day,' he answered simply, before taking a look at Kim and saying, 'had a bit too much to drink last night, then?'
She shook her head, screwing up her eyes, 'please, don't speak so loud.'
'Remember anything from the party?' Queried Jane as Kim sat down in a chair nearby, putting a hand to her forehead.
Kim shook her head, 'not really. Sometimes little bits of it come back to me. I was so drunk and stupid, I remember getting off with someone though in the spare bedroom. I can't remember who though.'
Jane nodded, 'I think loads of people got off with each other last night.'
'Did you- you know- do it with anyone?' Kim asked him.
'Erm, I didn't do it but the night wasn't completely uneventful.'
'Is that why you're in such an annoyingly good mood?' growled Kim in an irritated sort of way, her eyes closed as if this would somehow lessen the pounding pain in her head.
Before either of them could say another word though, Cho walked in, looking perfectly sober and perfectly alert.
'How can you not be dying?' said Kim in an exasperated tone, 'you drank as much as me last night.'
'I don't think anyone drank as much as you.'
Kim pulled a face at Cho behind his back before turning as Wiley walked in. At the sight of him, Kim gazed, frowned, and then stood up abruptly, her hands over her mouth.
'What?' She yelled.
'It's nice to see you too,' replied Wiley, sitting down at his own desk.
Kim shook her head, 'no, no, it was you. It was you I- you know. Oh god…'
'I know that,' Wiley bowed his head, seeming much cooler than he normally would have done after banging a woman with standards as high as Kim. Jane would have thought he'd have been over the moon about it. Cho had thought that Wiley had been a virgin but, if he had been, last night would have been a bigger deal to him.
'But, but,' Kim spluttered.
'Look,' said Wiley, almost in a bored tone (quite uncharacteristic of him), 'we were drunk stupid. It was no biggie- could have happened to anyone.'
The door opened once more and in walked Lisbon. At once Jane stood up. What was he going to say to her?
'Okay,' said Wiley, addressing everyone in the room, 'lets just leave these two to it.'
'Why,' asked Kim indignantly.
'You really don't remember?' Asked Wiley, his eyebrows raised.
Kim crossed her arms and then, as it hit her, said, 'oh… okay.'
Kim, Wiley and Cho all walked out, leaving Jane and Lisbon alone together.
'Hi,' he said, awkwardly.
She smiled warmly, 'hi.'
She tried to approach him but was unsuccessful and ended up staggering and tripping, once again, into Jane's arms.
'Guess I've gotta get used to this,' she murmured.
'You and me both,' Jane smiled.
'Yeah,' said Lisbon quickly, 'that's kinda what I wanted to talk to you about. Look, I understand completely if you just want to forget about last night. I mean, we were drunk.'
But Jane interrupted her before she could go on any further, 'Teresa, I wouldn't have missed it for the world.'
She beamed, 'really?'
Jane nodded, 'Lisbon everything I said, everything I did, I meant it. I- I'm not good at saying this but,' he leant in closer and whispered in her ear, 'I love you.'
Lisbon's eyes widened and then she held her hands to her cheeks, 'oh my god, really?'
'Yeah.'
'Oh my god. Oh my god, I do to,' she leant in and kissed him quickly. After pulling back a little bit, she looked once more into his eyes, which were scanning her, almost reading her.
A second passed where they said nothing, and then they kissed again, for much longer. Passionately, they wrapped their arms around each other, unaware that Cho, Wiley, Kim and even Abbott were staring at them, their noses pressed against the glass that separated the rooms, looking completely dumbstruck.
