I know that some people aren't a fan of song lyrics being inserted into stories but I haven't stopped thinking about writing this one since I heard it – 'That Girl' by Justin Timberlake.
Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with Justin Timberlake other then hoping everyday that he will get off his high horse and decided that Nsync needs to be reunited. And…still nothing to do with R&I.
Jane sighed as she leaned back against the arm of the couch, her long legs taking up the entire piece of furniture. She took a pull from the cold beer bottle in her hand before placing it on the coffee table. The evening had been horrible. She hated going to big fancy events with Maura. They made her feel so awful about herself, so undeserving of being with Maura. The honey blonde tried to assure her that it was all in her head - that there was no one else she would rather be with – but after seeing the questioning looks on all those faces tonight she couldn't help but question herself.
She was right where she wanted to be now. Right where she felt the most comfortable – in her black shorts, white tank top, sprawled out on the couch with a beer – she wanted to stay there and sulk for the rest of the night. She closed her eyes and sighed again, silently hoping that she could find a way to be better for the Medical Examiner.
Even with her eyes closed Jane sensed that the lights in the room had been dimmed. She felt movement on the arm of the couch behind her. Her eyes opened to find a set of creamy white legs slipping in on either side of her body. She looked up and saw her girlfriend perched on the side of the furniture.
"What are you…?" Jane began to ask but she was cut off.
"Ssshhh." Maura leaned down and whispered in her ear. She pressed a button on the remote control in her hand and music began to fill the room. "Just sit back, relax, and listen."
The detective decided to do what she was told though she was curious what her girlfriend was up to. Gentle fingers began to comb through her hair as the singer began.
You didn't have to run
I knew it was love from a mile away
But I had to catch ya
Been running through my mind all day baby
And they'll say I'm crazy cause anybody even when your father said
That I can't be with you
I don't hear a word they say
Maura's touch was so soothing that Jane also had to concentrate on staying awake. She knew that she didn't want to miss what Maura was trying to tell her with that song.
Cause I'm in love with that girl
So don't be mad at me
Cause I'm in love with that girl
So don't be mad at me
So what you're from the other side of the track
So what the world don't think we match
I put it down like my love's on wax
I'm in love with that girl
And she told me
That She's in love with me
"Sit up for me." Maura said quietly.
The detective obeyed. As soon as her body was no longer resting on the side of the couch she felt Maura slide in behind her. The doctor stretched one leg out along the backside of the couch much like Jane's while the other foot rested on the floor. She began to massage Jane's shoulders.
Now we didn't have to fall
But we fell in love to the bottom babe
No one there to catch us like when you fell from heaven that day baby
People always staring but I don't even care nothing about it babe
Cause Since I saw your face I've been staring just the same yeah hmm
Feeling the tension slip from her girlfriend's shoulders, Maura began to rain kisses along the area she had just massaged. Her hands traveled up and down toned, tan arms. She could feel goose bumps rise in the wake of her fingers.
I'm in love with that girl
So don't be mad at me
I'm in love with that girl
So don't be mad at me
So what you're from the other side of the track
So what the world don't think we match
I put it down like my love's on wax
I'm in love with that girl
And she told me
That She's in love with me
Jane wasn't sure how it happened but she opened her eyes to find her girlfriend sitting in her lap. Maura gentled laced their hands together and brought the detective's up to her lips. She kissed the scars on the back and the palm of each hand before kissing each finger tip.
My pretty lady
You'll always be my baby baby baby
It's so amazing how you became my baby baby baby
My little daisy come here let me rock it like a baby baby baby
Pretty lady don't you know youll always be my baby baby baby
Don't it seem like these days
That everybody's got something to say
But I don't pay attention to the talk babe
And I don't really care if they stop and stare cause this seat my number one, my number one girl
Maura then reached up and cupped her girlfriend's face. Green eyes met brown eyes for a moment before Maura pulled her in closer and began peppering her face with kisses. She kissed her forehead, her eyelids, the tip of her nose, everything but her lips. The doctor's journey continued down to her right ear. She nipped at her earlobe and then the sensitive spot just below it. She smiled to herself we she heard Jane gasp at the sensation. Maura nibbled along the other woman's collarbone to give the other side of her neck the same treatment.
I told you I'm in love with that girl
So don't be mad at me
I'm in love with that girl
So don't be mad at me
So what you're from the other side of the track
So what the world don't think we match
I put it down like my love's on wax
I'm in love with that girl
And she already told me that she's in love with me
The honey blonde kissed and nipped her way back up Jane's jaw and final pressed their lips together. She found no resistance when she slipped her tongue past the detective's lips. The kiss grew more and more heated as Maura tried to pour all of her emotions into it. The lyrics of the song were true and Maura wanted to make sure that Jane full comprehended what she was trying to say. She gripped Jane's dark locks tightly while the detective let her hands roam Maura's back – trying to pull them impossibly closer.
Finally, as the last chorus faded, the two had to part of air. Maura kept Jane close, pressing their foreheads together. She said, still slightly out of breath,
"I am so in love with you Jane Rizzoli. Nothing will ever change that. No one can ever change that. I am proud to have you by my side everywhere we go. I don't care what other people think about our relationship. You make me happier then I have ever been in my life. I don't know what I would do without you. I love you."
She kissed her deeply one more time.
"Always."
Hope you enjoyed it! I am working on the next update for 'Erin.' I will try to have it out soon! I will love you forever if you leave me a review!
