Shannon asked me to add when Season 3 begins...June 5th...so close but yet so far!
"Alright, what is your problem?" Jane asked agitatedly as they entered the house. She threw her keys on the kitchen counter in frustration.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Maura said coolly. Her tone obviously gave away the fact that there was in fact a problem. She too was mad.
"You have been giving me the cold shoulder ever since we left the bar." The detective stared down her girlfriend as she leaned to the side with her hand on one hip.
Maura crossed her arms across her chest defensively as she stared at Jane, the kitchen counter stood between them, "I haven't been giving you the cold shoulder." She explained calmly. "I have been treating you like a child that has been acting out for attention which is exactly how you have behaved all night."
"What? How have I been acting childish?" The brunette was stunned at Maura's words.
"You were rude to Scott all night. He is one my colleagues from medical school. I have known him for years and you acting like he had stormed into the sandbox and stolen your shiny new toy!" The doctor said with a raised voice.
Jane's volume level matched Maura's, "Well you are my shiny new toy!"
"Excuse me?" Maura exclaimed as she planted both of her hands on the kitchen counter.
"I...I mean, you are...I didn't..." Jane fumbled for words to cover up what she had just said. She signed in defeat. "God, Maura." She paused to collect herself, "I didn't mean for it to sound like that."
The honey blonde stood silent, furious with the words her girlfriend had chosen to use. She wanted nothing more then to storm off to the bedroom and lock Jane out but they had promised to never go to bed angry. That they would always talk through their issues before the end of the night. Sometimes this meant that they stayed up until the early hours of the morning but in the end it was worth it. Jane finally spoke again.
"I just couldn't stand seeing him flirt with you like that Maura." The brunette finally said truthfully. "I felt like his mission all night was to sweep you away from me."
Maura was surprised by Jane's honest admission, "Oh Jane, you know that no one could do that." She came around the counter and closed the space between them. "I love you more then anything in this entire world. You're everything to me and nothing will ever change that." She slipped her arms around Jane's waist and molded herself to the taller woman's frame.
"I am just terrified that one day you will come to your senses and realize that you deserve better then some blue collar cop like me." Jane said as she held Maura tightly and buried her nose in her hair.
The honey blonde took a small step back so that she could look Jane in the eye. She cupped the brunette's cheek with her right hand, "Jane, I came to my senses a year ago when I realized that I was madly in love with you. It's been you since the beginning."
"Promise?"
Maura caught Jane's lips with her's before she said, "Always."
