A special thank you to all for reading my story
Jane ordered 12 red orchards and send it to Maura.
Maura was in the study when the housekeeper Gloria called her. "Maura someone send you flowers".
"You sure it's for me."
"Yes the card said Maura Isles". Maura took the card to read inside
Day after day
Time passed away
And I just can't get you off my mind
Nobody knows, I hide it inside
I keep on searching but I can't find
The courage to show to letting you know
I've never felt so much love before
Maura read the words again looking to see if she missed the name. "Gloria please put the flowers in a vase in my room".
"Its beautiful words Maura does it say who it's from."
"No Gloria". "Someone really loves you Maura – Orchard symbolise love, beauty and strength".
Maura thought maybe it could be Jane but she's never pictured Jane as a flower girl. Anyway why would Jane send her flowers if she is dating Casey? Ag I resent that name. Maura went to bed with the card under her pillow so hoping it came from Jane.
The next morning Maura was wakening by Gloria with a Starbucks coffee in her hand. "And now Gloria, there was no need to go out for coffee".
"No Maura your secret admirer dropped it off" when I opened the door there it was the coffee and this note.
"Please the note Gloria" Maura had a warm feeling in her heart thinking more and more this could be Jane
Coffee time,
My dreamy friend
It's coffee time
Let's sing
This silly
Little rhyme
And have
A cup of coffee
"Oh Maura how sweet, whoever this is they really like you".
"You really think so Gloria".
"Yes Maura first flowers and then morning coffee".
Maura smiled and took a sip of the coffee mmm just the way I like it.
Jane made herself a promise she would fight for what she wants. Maura was one of them. She was going to tell Maura how she felt and even though she knows she wasn't good enough for Maura she was still going to try. Cause hell she really likes her, like seriously likes her.
School was different today even though she didn't speak to Maura there was something. Just the way Maura looked at her it was different like a longing. In History class Jane could have swear Maura winked at her but it all happened so fast.
Jane would have paired with Maura in Anatomy class but Casey was one step ahead of Jane. "Sir I haven't worked with Jane can she be my partner today?"
Jane still tried to "BUT sir".
"Jane partner up with Casey, Steven you always need help take Maura."
Shit there it was again Maura winked she is sure of that. Jane joined Casey at the table, looking back at Maura she licked her lips a bit too long for Jane's liking. Almost taunting Jane. Every time Jane would look back Maura would lick her lips, not because they were dry because those soft lips could never be dry. It was to taunt Jane.
Jane thought it was her chance to set matters straight. If she was going to tell Maura how she felt about her she had to make sure Casey understand they can only be friends.
"Friends hey that's all we can be because you like someone else. Does this someone else have?"
"Casey not your business and I don't want to be rude. You take my friendship or nothing"
"Ok Jane friendship". Casey wasn't going to leave it there he really like Jane and wasn't going to let anyone take her from him especially not Giovanni.
Giovanni walked down to the parking area hoping to find Jane before she leaves
"Hey Jane you going to practice this afternoon?"
"Yes Gio you want a lift?"
"Please man got a problem with my carb won't be able to fix it till tonight"
"Cool will fetch you around 3"
"Thanks Jane"
"I knew it Casey said to himself it's Giovanni can't see what Jane sees in him flippen Italian grease ball". Casey left thinking how he was going to get Jane.
Still in the parking lot Jane thought of a brilliant plan when she saw Maura's car. She parked right behind Maura's car, got off her bike and went looking for Frankie. Twenty minutes later she went back to the parking are, but to her dismay her bike was moved. Shit never thought she would do that. Taking her helmet to put it on a piece of paper fell out.
Really thought I couldn't move it, next time try something more daring
M
"Perfect Maura you asked for it".
Jane went to fetch Gio for their practice. They practiced till 5 after dropping him off at home she went pass Maura's place in Beacon Hill. Deciding if she should go in or not.
"What the hell let me go in?" Jane parked her bike next to Maura's car. Taking her helmet of she gets of her bike placing her helmet neatly on the handle bars making sure not to bump Maura's car. With every step Jane takes she starts to breathe heavier thinking maybe this wasn't such a good move. Jane knocked before her nerves got the better of her. Maura opened the door the last person she expected was Jane.
She looked Jane up and down taking in everything she saw, the way Jane's pants was sitting just showed of her athletic body and not to mention the T shirt she had on. It took Maura a few seconds to focus. "Hello Jane can I help you with something?"
"Hi Maura you look very um just want to come say sorry for parking you in had to go find Frankie".
"Sure Jane if you say so".
"Not convincing am I" Jane moved closer to Maura. Maura could feel Jane's breathing on her. "So what would you say if the reason was I had to come see you?"
Maura was ready to play this game if this is what Jane wanted she would play along especially after Frost told Maura, Casey is a chauvinist pig and only thinks with his dig. And Jane would never date him.
"Oh really Jane and why would you want to see me?"
"I recall someone asking me to be more daring". Jane was now really close to Maura. Jane looked at Maura's lips and then back to her eyes. "Mmm is this daring enough for you".
Maura didn't know if she should kiss Jane or take her upstairs. Starring into each other's eyes Jane lift her hand to take a hair out of Maura face. Maura closed her eyes and moved forward. Jane put her finger on Maura's lips. Strawberry lips mmm. Moving closer Jane whispered in Maura's ear
Maura Excuse me for staring
Your looks have me blinded
Strawberry lips saying
Baby I want you
"Oh Jane you playing with fire and would you be able to calm this fire down?"
"Maura I don't think we can calm this fire down. It's a bonfire and I would like to continue putting wood on but home calls" with that Jane kissed Maura's cheek and left. Maura kept touching her cheek where Jane kissed it.
Jane couldn't believe what she has done, but now that she knows Maura feels the same towards her she isn't going to stop. Jane took her phone to send Maura a goodnight message
Hi Beautiful sorry if this sounds cheesy but I like to express myself with music
I wanna be with you
It's crazy but it's true
And everything I do
I wanna be with you
I'd like to know your policy
When it comes to me
Like to know what's on your mind
It's not easy to see
I know now what I feel
And what to do
I wanna be with you
J

Jane was the happiest person alive at the moment, she just had to think how she could ask Maura to be her girl.
At school Jane and Maura hardly spoke but every time they would see one another you could feel the Chemistry, and the looks they gave each other you could have fallen in love with them.
"Hey Jane how you doing Casey asked?" Standing with a small box in his hands.
"Ok and you Casey".
"Jane can I ask you to the pram please?"
"Oh shit I completely forgot about that".
"Jane please before you say no this is just friendship we go as friends please".
"Ok Casey just as friends".
Casey handed her the box inside was a beautiful blue Swarovski necklace. "You can where it on the pram night I got the same colour tie".
Ok but Casey, Yes Jane I know just friends
Casey's first plan was put into action when Jane said yes. So much for her liking Giovanni. The grease ball haven't even asked her to pram. This will be like taking candy from a baby.
Now Jane had to tell Maura she will go with Casey to the pram but just as friends. How could she forget about pram?
Jane waited for Maura leaning against her car.
"Hi Jane what is the special occasions or are we picking up where we left last night?"
If Maura could only read her mind she would be scared of what she wanted to do to Maura.
Jane moved to give Maura a hug smelling her hair "mmm you smell wonderful"
"You too if you don't think it's to soon you can come over to my place".
Jane looked Maura in the eyes "I wish I could but I got football practice."
Maura moved a bit forward showing of more cleavage and driving Jane insane
"You like Jane?"
Jane looked like a fish on dry ground with her mouth open.
Jane you wanted to say
"Yes Maura" Jane's eyes never left her cleavage.
"Hello Jane eyes up here focus"
"Geez Maura what you doing to me, how am I supposed to focus when you, you doing this".
"Oh this" Maura showing her cleavage off again.
"Maura we at school and you killing me"
Casey came pass hooting at Jane "thanks again Jane".
That stopped any potential flirting to continue.
"Why is Casey thanking you Jane?"
"Well that's sort of why I wanted to chat to you, Casey asked me to the pram and I kinda said yes but just as friends"
"What do you mean kinda said yes because if you going as friends that means you said yes".
"Maur it's just friends just to get him off my back".
"Why is he on your back in the first place, you know what Jane its fine it's not like we dating or anything"
"Maura that's not fair"
"No Jane you not fair I think it will be better for me to go now"
"Maur please don't take it up the wrong way please"
"How do you want me to take it Jane, you can't come over to my house flirt with me and then drop this on me".
"Maura please, No Jane I'm going now."
