Chapter 4

Lisbon arrived at the FBI early Monday morning to find a small bouquet of flowers on her desk with a handwritten note: "For the angry princess—welcome back!" Lisbon rolled her eyes but laughed at the long-time joke. As more people began entering the office Lisbon hastily shoved the flowers in her desk while cursing Jane. They were supposed to keep their relationship on the down low.

A moment later, Abbott appeared.

"Lisbon, could I see you in my office?"

Crap.

"Yes, sir." The brunette answered as she made her way toward him. He closed the door once the agent was inside.

"Lisbon, I thought I told you to stay home for two weeks… at least."

Lisbon let out a sigh of relief. "You did, but I couldn't stay home any longer. It was driving me crazy."

Abbott chuckled, "Alright, but no field work for a while."

"Ok."

Abbott couldn't resist, "Did Jane drive you crazy too?"

Lisbon froze. "Excuse me?"

A knowing smile appeared on the man's face. "Just keep it professional while you're working."

Giving up she asked, "How did you know?"

"Jane told me this morning. But, it's obvious you two have feelings for each other—it doesn't take an FBI agent to see that. Regardless, I'm glad you got together."

"Oh, um thanks." Lisbon's cheeks flushed, she was going to kill Jane.

Abbott nodded, "you can go now; I think I see Jane."

Lisbon left the room and shuddered, that was weird. Her eyes landed on the blonde.

"Jane. Office, now."

She practically dragged him into the empty room, slammed the door and closed the blinds.

"Hey!" Jane grinned while Lisbon glared at him.

"Abbott knows."

"Of course he does, I told him. What's the problem?"

"What's the problem?! Jane, isn't it obvious?" Lisbon fumed.

"Not particularly, no."

Now that they were officially together, his observation skills were clouded. She had become too complex to read. It was both exhilarating and maddening. A lot like their love. A lot like her.

"You told Abbott about us. Why on Earth would you do that?" Lisbon pinched the bridge of her nose in exasperation.

"He's a smart man; he would have figured it out soon anyway. Plus, he supports it." Jane shrugged and stated almost proudly.

"I don't care if Abbott would have figured it out. That's not what this is about." Her voice rose with each word.

"Then what is it about?"

"You really don't know?"

He shook his head.

Lisbon let out a groan as her frustration grew.

"Jane! It's not very complicated you told him without—"

Lisbon stopped midsentence and scowled at Jane as he started to laugh. She huffed and crossed her arms, "why are you laughing at me?"

"Because you're cute when you get mad."

"Jane," She sighed impatiently, "would you take me serious for once?"

He only chuckled harder. The man couldn't help it, she really was adorable when angry, especially at him. Lisbon would cross her arms, her lips would pout slightly and she would glower at him. That stare could send ruthless killers into a panic. It also, Jane noticed quickly, allowed him to see how green her eyes were and that they sometimes had flecks of gold in them. He also noticed the freckles that speckled her nose and the way her hair slid over her shoulders when she yelled.

"…did you even hear a word I just said?" Lisbon fumed and stepped closer to Jane.

"You are unbeliev—" She was taken aback by the presence of his lips atop hers.

For a moment her body tensed as she fought to stay angry with him. But she couldn't focus because his hand was on her back, now pulling her closer and she was letting him and her head was spinning as her heart pounded and despite her feeble attempt not to, the brunette found herself kissing him back. It was even better than she had ever imagined. His lips were soft and Lisbon seemed to forget where she was or what was happening; everything felt distant and unimportant, all she knew was him.

They broke apart moments later, breathless and eyes burning passion.

"That was amazing." Jane declared.

"Stop talking and kiss me again you idiot." Lisbon demanded, immediately missing the sensation of his lips, all while questioning why they hadn't done this sooner.

For possibly and quite arguably the first time, Jane followed Lisbon's orders and pressed his mouth against hers. She smelled of vanilla and shampoo. The agent's hand found its way to his blonde curls. The couple kissed until they eventually came to the unfortunate realization that they were at work. Oops.

"You go out first," Lisbon urged, "I'll follow in five minutes."

"Alright," Jane agreed and stole a quick kiss before slipping out the door.

Lisbon lips formed a radiant grin. She ran her fingers along them, the ghost of his lips tingled on hers.

She couldn't wait until that happened again.

Five minutes later the woman emerged from the room. The large office was now bustling with agents and Lisbon blushed profusely. Jane caught her eye and winked, her cheeks reddened further and she made her way to him.

"It's about time," Cho muttered as he passed. His typical stoic expression was replaced by the slightest smidgen of a smile.

Their love was wild and spontaneous and the greatest thing they had ever known.
