A/N: OMG! I can't believe I have finally come to an end on this story. All of you lovely readers have made this experience absolutely wonderful for me. Thank you all for sticking with me through the good chapters and the bad chapters. Also, all you readers have put this story almost over 100,000 views. That is sooooo freaking awesome. Well here is the last chapter as I promised and I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to leave a review =o)
Are you serious? I mean are you fucking serious?! I can't believe I just saw what I did. Maybe it was just a figment of my imagination. No, it wasn't a figment of my imagination, I know exactly what I just saw. I just saw my Maura kissing Ian. Did I just call her MY Maura? Well at least I thought she was mine but apparently not. Now she's Ian's Maura.
How can he just waltz in and sweep her off her feet like that? It took me forever just to work up the courage to actually do something about the feelings I had for her. I worked hard as hell at it and I succeeded in getting what I wanted. I know Maura wanted me too because she made that clear to me on more than one occasion. I was just too much of a chicken shit to actually do something about it.
I finally made my move and things were awesome. Or at least I thought things were going awesome. Did I take too long in letting her know I was ready to take our friendship to the next level? Maybe she got tired of waiting too long and just gave up and only decided she wanted to be with me because she didn't want to hurt my feelings. Jane could start to feel the burning in her eyes, an indication that she was about to do the one thing she hated, crying.
No…don't you do it Jane. Don't you even think about fucking crying now, now is not the time to cry. You can't be sad, the one person you love has just broken your heart, you should be pissed off, not crying. The road before Jane was starting to blur with the tears forming in her eyes. She furiously started wiping at her eyes and doing the best to will herself to stop crying.
Why does this hurt so bad? No wonder why I have done my best to stay single. I always end up being let down in the end. To think that Maura would have ever loved me, Ha, what a crazy idiot I am. To think that I would be the one person out of the plethora of men that would fall at her feet willing to do anything to be with her. And I was one of those stupid fools to fall at her feet, only to be kicked back down just when I was starting to be able to stand. Jane was able to find an open spot outside her building and whipped her car in as fast as she could trying to distance herself physically as fast as she could from what just happened. The furious ball of pain that was Jane got out of her vehicle and slammed the door as hard as she could trying to take some of the anger she felt out of her system.
Each step that she took she could feel herself breaking down more and more. She felt like she was going to explode from the inside out so she quickened her pace up the stairs, shoved the key into the hole, twisted the knob, entered her apartment, and slammed the door not caring who it woke up. Just inside her door she looked around at her empty apartment and it just hit her at the same time. This is how empty she is going to be without having the love of Maura, or at least what she thought was the love of Maura.
Leaning back against the door she slowly slid down to where she was sitting. Wrapping her arms around her legs and laying her head on top of her knees she allowed herself to finally let go. Feeling like she was imploding and exploding at the same time she let go of her emotions allowing her to stop being Detective McBadass for a while and let go of the deep sob that had been trying to make it out of her since she sped down the road from Maura's house, trying to quickly escape what she was scared of, being rejected.
Laying the bundle of roses down on the counter Maura found a vase to put the beautiful flowers in that Jane had brought her. Sighing as she filled the vase with water she could only think of how things had just changed so suddenly. She walked over to her kitchen island and put the vase of roses in the middle so they would always be right where she could see them. I can't believe I just ruined everything that we worked so hard on. Well that Jane had worked on anyways. I knew what my feelings were and are for her, it just took her a little longer to realize them. Wait! I didn't ruin anything. Damn Ian ruined all of this.
Picking up her phone and walking over to the couch a strong feeling of determination washed over her. I am not giving up on you Jane. Opening a new text message she wrote Please talk to me. –M.
I'm not going to lose you now Jane Rizzoli, not after I just got what I wanted, what we wanted. Or at least what I thought you wanted as well. I didn't give up on you that day in the café with you wanting to buy some coffee in your ridiculous hooker outfit and I am certainly not giving up on us now. Us? Do you really think she is going to want to be an us after she just saw what she did?
After not seeing a reply from Jane she was about to send another text when Angela came bursting through the side door with a bat in hand causing Maura to almost jump off the couch and let out a yelp. "What's going on? Is everything okay? I thought I heard some glass shattering and some yelling."
"It's okay Angela, I took care of the issue and he is gone."
"He?"
"Yes, Ian came over wanting to get the supplies that I had stocked up for him over the past months."
"Oh, you mean that cute guy with the Australian accent, or English or whichever one it was?"
"Yes."
Angela noticed the look of sadness on Maura's face and she set the bad down leaning it against the cabinets next to the side door. Walking over to where Maura was seated on the couch she noticed the red roses that had not been there earlier in the day. Next to the roses she noticed a small white card laying on the kitchen island drying that said I love you –Jane. She did the best to hide her smile knowing that her suspicions were true. Sitting down next to Maura on the couch she asked, "Did he hurt you?"
"No, well yes but he didn't hurt me physically."
"Well what happened sweetie?"
"Well I have recently begun seeing someone else and when Ian was leaving after getting his supplies he kissed me and the person that I have been seeing saw what happened and must have thought I was kissing him back because they got upset and left."
"Was that the crashing sound I heard? The other person seeing Ian kissing you?" Again Angela was doing her best trying not to pry too much into knowing who the other person was. She knew Maura would tell her when she felt comfortable enough to do so.
"Yes, they threw a vase filled with roses at the door causing it to shatter. I didn't want Ian to kiss me because as soon as it happened I slapped him across the face letting him know that it wasn't okay."
"Well at least you let him know that it wasn't alright for him to do that. Have you called Jane to tell her it wasn't what she thought?"
"No, I haven…" Just as Maura was starting to answer the question she realized what Angela had said. A slow look of shock slowly crept its way across her face but all Angela could do was smile at her to reassure that everything was okay. "Wait, how did you know?"
"Where do you think Jane got her detective skills from? Well I call it snooping more than anything." Letting out a small laugh Angela reached over grabbing Maura giving her a big hug and whispered in her ear, "Plus I saw the card Jane wrote sitting on your kitchen island."
Maura started calming down from her panic attack that she thought she was going to have just finding out that Angela knew about her and Jane being more than just friends.
Pulling back from the hug, Angela started wiping at the tears that were forming and trying to fall from Maura's eyes. "Plus sweetie I have had my suspicions for the longest time now and I just wanted to let you know that I don't care. I think it is fabulous that you two are together. I love you both so much and I want you two to be so happy."
"Well now that Jane has seen what she did she probably won't want to be with me anymore." Maura started crying and Angela pulled her into another tight hug letting her know that things were going to be okay.
"Have you tried to get a hold of her?"
"I just sent a text to her not too long before you came in and I haven't gotten anything back yet." Maura stared at the blank screen on her phone wishing that something would pop up on her screen from Jane but nothing came.
"Well go to her. If anything, she needs to know that what she saw wasn't true."
"You're right Angela," Maura sprung up from the couch to grab her keys and purse off the table and was out the door before Angela could say anything else.
Finally picking herself up off the floor after what seemed like an eternity, Jane looked at her phone that was now ringing. Noticing it was Maura she hit the end button to send her to voicemail. Just as she was walking over to her fridge to get a bottle of water she heard her phone ringing again and picked up looking at the name Maura that popped up on the screen. Hitting the end button she sent Maura to voicemail again.
Quickly finishing the bottle of water she was ready to go to bed and end the day that turned out to be one of the biggest arrests in her career that ended to be one of the shittiest days of her life. Just as she was walking down the hall to go to her room she heard a knocking at the door and she stopped to see if the knocking would go away. The knocking subsided and she started walking back to her room again. The knocking started again. Figuring it must be her mom finding some ridiculous reason to come to her apartment she decided against her better judgment to answer the door.
Going to the door and undoing the chain and quickly opening the door, "What do you want Ma…ura?" Standing outside the door was the one person she wasn't expecting to be there, Maura.
"Hi Jane."
"What do you want?" Jane spit the words out like they were venom.
"To tell you what you saw wasn't what you thought."
"Oh I'm pretty sure what I saw was what it was."
"Will you please let me explain Jane?"
"Why should I let you explain and break my heart more?"
"Why do you think I would drive all the way over here to break your heart even more?"
"Probably because you have a sick twisted desire to make people feel like shit."
"That is hardly a reason Jane."
"Whatever."
"Can I come in so we can talk? So we don't have to do it here?"
"Sure, why not? Just come on in and destroy my life some more why don't you." Jane stepped to the side so Maura could make her way into the apartment. "Your wish is my command." She swept her hand to the side as if she were allowing royalty to pass by her.
Maura was now starting to get frustrated at the sarcasm that Jane was giving to her not letting her fully explain to her what had happened. "Ian came over."
"Yeah I saw that."
"Jane will you just shut up for a minute and let me talk?"
Jane now defiantly crossed her arms across her chest, "Whatever, just go ahead and get it out already."
"Ian showed up to get the supplies that I have been storing for him for a few months now."
"Well it looked like he got more than what he came for. Did you fuck him Maura? Did it feel good? Well you broke my fuckin' heart."
Before Maura even knew what was happening she felt the stinging in her hand, one that had been familiar after slapping Ian but it was now Jane that was standing in front of her. "We didn't have sex and he kissed me Jane, HE kissed ME. I did not kiss him."
Reaching up to touch the now sensitive spot where she was just slapped she said, "Well that isn't what it looked like to me. It looked like you put as much effort into that kiss that he was."
"Well for once Detective Rizzoli your detective skills are wrong."
"My skills are never wrong."
"Well they are today."
"No they aren't. Apparently you never really liked me. Maybe you wanted me just so I could be another notch in your post. I can't believe I let myself fall to your feet like any other man out there has done after meeting you."
"Jane…"
"No, No, see it may have taken me a while to come to my senses that I was ready to take our friendship to the next level but I should have known your snooty ass would have walked all over me like any other person you have been in a relationship with."
"Jane I haven't walked…"
"To think that I was so stupid to let my guard down around you."
"I love you."
"Then I gave it my all to be with you…what?"
"I said I love you."
"But you kissed Ian."
"No Jane I didn't."
"I saw it happen."
"Jane Clementine Rizzoli, are you listening to me?"
"I love you too." Jane felt the pent up aggression finally release itself from her body in the form of tears. Before she knew it she closed the distance between her and Maura and crashed her lips against Maura's in a heated kiss. "God Maura, I love you too."
The kiss deepened as Jane let her guard down even more allowing Maura fully into her mouth. Lips and tongues danced together trying to convey physically how much they loved each other. Jane's hands mindlessly went up and slipped Maura's coat off her shoulders allowing it to slide to the floor.
After her coat was off Jane started working on the buttons on the front of Maura's shirt each one being undone effortlessly. Once all the buttons were undone she slid her hands inside the shirt and up her back slowly removing the shirt and letting it fall with the coat on the floor then allowing her hands to roam the expanse of Maura's soft skin.
Maura worked her hands down the sides of Jane and when her hands reached where her shirt ended and her pants began she untucked Jane's shirt and lifted it up over her head discarding it on the floor with the pile that had already started to accumulate. Only separated for mere seconds to remove the offending shirt she closed the distance again kissing Jane. Her hands now went down the smooth skin of her stomach again stopping at her belt. Working the belt loose she ripped the object from the loops of Jane's pants and allowed it to fall to the floor.
Jane now pushed Maura against the door. Maura soon found her legs wrapped around the brunette's hips. Jane leaned against Maura using the door behind them to help distribute the weight and she pulled away from Maura's lips looking into her eyes before moving to her neck, nipping and sucking on her pulse point which elicited a moan from Maura.
Jane decided she needed Maura but in a more comfortable place. Putting her hands under Maura's rear and backing away from the door she headed down the hallway to her bedroom while still kissing Maura.
Once inside the room Jane set Maura down and the rest of clothes that acted as a barrier between them were quickly discarded. Jane was now laying on her back in her bed and Maura was now straddling her. Maura leaned down bringing their lips together and as she did so she started a rhythmic grinding of her hips into Jane's.
Starting to kiss her way down Jane's body she stopped only momentarily to lavish attention on the stiff peaks upon her breasts. As she paid attention to Jane's breasts she slowly worked her hands between them and found what she was looking for. She slid her fingers inside teasing the wet folds before she fully made her presence known and inserted two fingers inside. As she worked up a slow rhythm with her hand she began kissing her way back down Jane till her mouth found the same treasure her fingers had.
She quickly found her way to the bundle of nerves waiting for her attention and working it with her tongue. Her tongue quickly found the same stroking pattern as her fingers and Jane was all but writhing under her touch. The more attention she paid Jane the closer it brought Jane to the edge and she could feel her walls closing around her fingers.
"Oh…Maur…please keep going…don't stop…plea…" Before she knew it Jane was orgasming and Maura stopped the administrations with her tongue keeping her fingers where they were slowly stroking bringing Jane down from the ledge. Working her way up Jane's body she was content to snuggle to her side.
"I love you Jane Rizzoli." Reaching over she kissed Jane.
"I love you too Maura Isles."
The events of the evening had both women spent and Jane pulled the covers up over the both of them. With Maura in the niche of her arm the two were content to fall asleep knowing now what the future held for them, love and each other.
