Hey peoples! Firstly I'd like to thank my friend who told me how I should get them to start dating or whatever. I didn't know exactly how to make Lisbon to react and she helped me so thank you to her! She suggested that they should take things slowly. I hope my analogy is realistic. You'll see it soon. Secondly, thank you so, so, so much for all the kind reviews! I just love reviews! They make me happy! So if you wouldn't mind reviewing this chapter too? Thanks! Somebody said that in the last chapter the characters seemed a little OOC. Thanks for telling me by the way but I'd just like to point out that I wrote it to be like that, as they were drunk an' all. But thanks for telling me, I really appreciate it! Chances are that they might be a little OOC for the story though. I also wrote a fanfiction called 'Nothing Is Impossible' and another one called 'Valentine's Day' so if you could check that out too I'd be ecstatic. 'Nothing Is Impossible' is not finished, I've only posted one chapter but it will be Jisbon at some point. Anyway, I'm delighted you've been enjoying this so far! I hope you enjoy this! Please review! The more and faster I receive reviews the faster I'll update! So please review! Happy reading xXx!

The Hang-Over:

It was the morning after the party. The more non-alcoholic drinks that were brought out the more they were spiked, therefore those that didn't drink excess alcohol ended up tipsy at the very least. Lisbon had drunk a lot of juice, followed by some alcohol so she was wasted by the time she got home. Well, she didn't get to her home. She stayed at Patrick's for the night.

Patrick Jane was the first to wake up the next morning. He had a pounding pain in his head; he grimaced when he slowly opened his eyes as they met the light. Strangely enough for him, he wasn't sleeping on a mattress underneath the face that Red John had drawn onto the wall with his wife's and child's blood. He was in a real bed, a double bed, and he wasn't alone. He looked to his right hand side and there he saw her; the woman that he loved, Teresa Lisbon.

He then looked down and noticed that he was completely naked. He looked down at Teresa and smiled, she looked so peaceful, aside from the fact that she snored! He gently sat up and slipped on clean underpants which he got from the bedside drawer and he slipped on the pants from the night before. The shuffling in the bed caused Lisbon to wake up. She also grimaced as her eyes met the light. She also had a pounding headache. She looked around, noticing that she wasn't in her own bedroom, and then she looked up and saw Patrick. He was grinning back at her.

"What am I doing here?" she asked groggily.

"You do know that you snore, right?" Patrick joked.

She sat up and then realised that she was completely naked. She looked up at Patrick, horror stricken; she couldn't remember a thing from the night before.

"Why am I butt naked in your bed?!" she demanded.

Patrick shrugged his shoulders as he still grinned.

"Did we have sex?!" she exclaimed.

Patrick grinned slightly; he couldn't remember a thing either.

"Honestly Teresa, I can't remember," he said putting his hand to his throbbing head.

"Don't you call me Teresa; I am agent Lisbon to you!"

"Fine then, Agent Lisbon, I can't remember what happened last night," he said softly, grinning again.

"Why are you smiling?!" she demanded.

"Well, I love you and I know you feel the same way so I don't get what the big deal is," he said softly, looking into her eyes.

She blushed slightly. Her face lifted momentarily and then dropped.

"I...don't love you," she said turning away.

"Don't lie to me Teresa, I know you do."

"How?!" she snapped.

"Well, usually when you wake up in somebody else's bed and can't remember a thing you don't react so badly. Secondly, you're clutching the duvet very tightly around you so you are obviously very self conscious around me. Thirdly, when I told you that you snored you blushed slightly which would tell me that you care what I think," Patrick grinned.

Lisbon sighed to herself, she hated the way that he could figure her out and that she couldn't figure him out.

"When you said that you loved me, did you mean it?" she asked as she looked into his sparkling blue eyes.

"Yes," he smiled.

Lisbon paused for a moment. She was unsure of what to say.

"Can I use your shower?" she asked.

"Yes," he nodded as he got up. "There's a clean towel on a rack," he said softly as he started walking out the door.

"Thanks," she said softly as she made her way to the bathroom.

She spent ages in the shower. As the water crashed against her body she couldn't help but think back to a few minutes before. Patrick Jane, the man that she loved had told her that he loved her. She still didn't truly believe it. She smiled for a moment and then frowned. Was he only saying that because they had spent the night together? She had been very unlucky in her past with men and didn't want to get hurt again. Also, in their job, they couldn't be together. Minelli would go insane. After a while she got dressed and went downstairs. One thing that she noticed was that Jane didn't have any Christmas decorations up. She went into the kitchen where Jane was cooking breakfast. She was still wearing her clothes from the night before.

"So what would you like, an omelette, eggs or cereal?" Jane asked.

"Whatever you're having," Lisbon said softly.

Jane got two bowls and a box cereal and brought them over to the kitchen table. He filled the two bowls and gave Lisbon the milk. She poured quite a lot in.

"Hmmm...I didn't know you were like that," he grinned.

"What? I just poured milk into cereal?" she said, confused.

"Well, you poured a lot in slowly."

"So?"

"Well, let's just say that you are the cereal. It isn't complete without the milk is it? So by pouring it in you're making it complete. You poured it in slowly and gently but you almost filled it to the top. You feel that there's something in your life that's missing, something big, but to get what you want you want to take things slowly and steadily, until eventually it's just perfect," he grinned.

Lisbon shook her head.

"I hate it when you do that. How do you know all of that just by me pouring milk?"

"It's a gift," he grinned as he started eating.

Lisbon put her hand up to her head again, it started throbbing again.

Jane passed her a tablet. "It takes a while but it takes away the pain eventually," Jane grinned.

Lisbon finished eating and took the tablet.

"What time is it?" she asked.

"Six thirty," he said as he took the two bowls to the sink.

"I'm going to go home and get some clothes. I can't go to work like this," she said softly.

Jane nodded.

"Why haven't you got any Christmas decorations up?" she asked as she was walking out.

"No reason to really, nobody to celebrate it with," he said softly as she walked out.

Lisbon walked out to her car and drove to her house. She got dressed and started to drive towards the CBI headquarters. For once she was the last to arrive. She went straight into her office, hoping to avoid Jane. She sat down at her desk, staring at a load of paperwork. At least it would keep her inside her office.

After a while there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," she said softly, not taking her head off her work.

She looked up and saw Jane, not grinning for a change.

"Have we a new case?" she asked, looking down again.

"No, I want to talk about us," he said softly as he sat down.

"Look Jane, not now," she said softly.

"I just want to know, do you think we have a chance? We both know how we feel about each other. I know that you want to take things slowly, I saw you pour milk," he said softly as he grinned.

She looked at his hand and saw that his wedding ring was still on. She knew that he wanted to take things slowly.

She looked up at him.

"Okay, we'll go slowly but none of the team are to find out," she said sternly.

"I think they have a right to know," he said.

She looked at him sternly.

"Okay then," he grinned, not wanting to anger her, he knew he was lucky enough to get her to say yes.

"So what do you say that we go for dinner? Maybe...Friday night at seven o' clock?" he grinned.

"...okay," she said looking back down to her paperwork.

"Good," he grinned as he walked out of her office.

That's it for this chapter! Sorry that it was crap! I just want to set up some little twist that I have planned. Do you want me to carry this on until New Year's Day or finish it on Christmas Day? It's just I've got two ideas, they are both similar but depending on when I finish this it might change. Anyways, please review! Even though this chapter was bad please review! I'll give you a cookie??? ^_^ I'll update soon! Thank you for reading and especially for all the kind reviews so far! Also, this is set around...the 15th of December.
