"Are you almost ready, Maura?" Jane asked. She stood waiting at the bottom of the ME's stairs, impatiently waiting on her best friend.
"Almost.." Maura yelled down.
Today they were leaving for a weekend trip to Seattle for one of Maura's friends from school's wedding. The doctor had talked Jane into taking the weekend off and going with her to get away for a while. The detective was happy to go and meet some of Maura's friends from school but a little nervous about being around so many doctors. But honestly, she would do anything for her.
Maura came quickly down the stairs carrying a small bag to go along with the already big suitcase sitting at the bottom. "Let's go!" The smaller woman was smiling brightly, clearly excited for this trip. "Jane, you are going to love Miranda. She is delightful. But who I am really excited for you to meet is my close friend Arizona. I believe you two will get along great." She brushed by Jane as she was speaking, setting off sensations inside.
"Oh, so the genius Dr. Isles had a BFF in college too?" Jane asked smirking at her friend.
"As a matter of fact I did, Detective." She replied with a wink.
At first, Jane was not sure how she felt about this new information. Part of her was glad to hear her friend was not alone; the other part of her was…jealous. "Why am I jealous?" She thought to herself. "Great now I got to meet the former best friend.."
Knowing she had to meet this Arizona made Jane even more nervous about this trip. Maura was picking up on Jane's quietness. "What's wrong, Jane?" she was immediately at the taller woman's side with a encouraging hand on her back, "they will love you because I love you. Besides your my LLBFF," she said with such sincerity.
Jane's heart fluttered hearing those words. "You ready?"
"Yes. Let's head to the airport."
Maura picked up the small bag while Jane grabbed the two big suitcases. "Geeze, Maur, what do you got in these? Bricks?!"
"Of course not, why would I bring bricks to a wedding?"
"Sarcasm, doctor."
Maura blushed slightly then smiled, "Oh…." She cleared her throat and continued, "By the way, we are meeting Arizona and her wife for dinner tonight once we get there."
"What?!" Jane said. "Thanks for the heads up there." The words and her wife not lost on the detective. "This should be interesting…" She said silently to herself. Jane had no problems with two females being married; she wouldn't mind being married to Maura… "Where did that come from…" she thought.
"I'm screwed. A weekend away with my hot best friend, who I love, in a hotel…" She sighs, "Here goes nothing."
