Dream A Little Dream
A/N: Final chapter of this story. I just want to say thank you to all those who have read the stories and left reviews.
"You can't be serious," Lisbon told him as she shook her head in dismay.
"Call for help," Jane told her as he turned off the car and pulled out the key.
"I am," she told him as she grabbed her phone out of her pocket. She pressed the speed dial and waited for someone one to pickup when her phone beeped at her. She moved it from her ear and looked down at the dark screen. "No, it isn't possible."
"What?"
"Thanks to you getting us arrested my phone is dead," Lisbon showed him the phone. "What about yours?"
Jane reached back to grab his jacket from the backseat and pulled his phone out of the pocket. He tried to turn it on but his was just as dead.
"Great, we are stuck here with no phones and no way to call for help."
"Could be worse."
"Why in the hell would you say that?" Lisbon asked annoyed as she undid her seatbelt.
"Where are you going?"
"Walking back to town to ask for help," she told him as she opened the car door.
"Lisbon, I wouldn't do that," he told her as he look out the windshield.
"Why?" She asked as it just began to pouring outside. Lisbon slammed the door shut in frustration and then turned to Jane. "See what you did."
"Meh," he told her as he reached down and put the car seat into a reclined position.
"What are you doing?" Lisbon asked as she watched him close his eyes.
"I'm going to take a nap," he told her without opening her eyes.
"Here?"
"These seats are very comfortable."
"I'll take your word for it."
"Why don't you just pull on that little lever and join me in a little nap at least until the rain stops," he suggested. He opened his eyes and studied her. "Lisbon, what else are you going to do? Sit there and pout until the rain stops?"
"Why do I allow you to talk me into these things?" Lisbon asked as she reach down and pulled on the lever so her seat reclined. Jane smile and then reach behind him and grab his jacket.
"It will keep you warm," He told her as he sat up and threw his jacket over her.
"Thanks," she breathed deeply as he laid back down in the seat. The two lay in their respectable seats and listen to the sound of the surrounding rain.
"Jane?" Lisbon whispered.
"Yes?"
"About this morning."
"What about it?"
"What exactly did I say in my sleep?" Lisbon asked hesitantly.
"You told me not to stop," he told her without a beat.
"Listen Jane it wasn't what you thought it was," Lisbon stuttered as she turned on her side so she could face him.
"And what do you think I thought it was?" He asked as he mirrored her movement.
"I was dreaming about you doing paperwork," she told him.
Jane chuckled "Liar."
"Prove it," Lisbon challenged him as this eyes meet.
"Are you ready to play that game with me?" Jane asked and Lisbon was about to respond when a clap of thunder rattled the windows in the car. Lisbon jumped at the sound and Jane looked outside.
"I always liked watch storms in the desert," he told her as he looked at her again.
"I didn't know that."
"When my father and I travel we ended up staying at some places that had amazing desert storms. I loved to watch the lightning in the background while the rainfall outside the trailer. I loved it because it meant I could have the evening to myself," he explained. "My father on the other hand hated the storms because it meant no money coming in."
Jane finished and then looked away from Lisbon. "I think that is the first time I have ever heard you talk about your father."
"I know."
"Jane, you know you can always talk to me about anything."
"I know I can, Lisbon. It's not a question of not trusting you, it's because you want to see some sides of me."
"Jane, after all these years I have seen the best and worse sides of you and I'm still here."
"I know," he replied as he looked away from her.
Lisbon reached out with her hand and touched his face to get his attention. When he faced her again she spoke "I'm not going to leave you."
Jane nodded as she removed her hand but before she could bring it back to her side he reached out and grab it. He interlaced their fingers and then leaned closer to her. "And I am never leaving you," he whispered before kissing her on the lips. Lisbon pulled away from him gently.
"Jane," she whispered, he opened his eyes to look at her.
Jane just smiled and pulled her on top of him as his lips attacked hers again. Lisbon moaned as he deepened the kiss, she wove her hands into the soft curls of his blond hair as his went to her back and pulled her shirt up so he could touch her skin. He moved his lips away from her and started to kiss sensually down her jaw and throat, Lisbon arched her back and placed her hands on his chest. When she let out another moan he slowly made his way back to her lips as his hands moved forward to her chest and started to undo the buttons of her blouse. Lisbon hands started to unbutton his shirt just as his lips met hers again. Lisbon had more luck getting the buttons undone on his shirt than he did which lead to her breaking the kiss and then moving down a little so she could tease him with peppered kisses across his chest, he growl and pulled her head back towards his waiting lips before resuming his earlier mission. When he finally got the last button undone he moved the shirt and placed his hands across her stomach, he smiled against her lips as she arched into him, moving his hand slowly up to her breast he came to a halt when he felt liquid on his fingers.
"What the?" He broke the kiss and opened his eyes he looked at Lisbon and then down at his hand which showed blood. "Lisbon."
"Jane," Lisbon eyes drifted shut as she fell against him.
"Lisbon!"
Jane felt a hand on his cheek and he woke instantly "What?"
"The tow truck is here," Lisbon told him as she closed the door next to him. Jane looked around him and saw that she had put her seat back up and that it had stopped raining, his jacket was also on him which mean either she laid it on him or he dreamed that entire part. Shaking his head to clear his mind he sat up and then pull the lever to put the seat back up. He opened the car door and got out to join Lisbon would was talking to the tow truck driver.
"I can give you enough gas to get you to the next town," the driver told her as Jane came up to them.
"That would be great," she replied and the driver nodded and left the two of them to head back to his truck.
"When did you call for help?"
"I didn't," Lisbon told him. "The sheriff uncle was doing his shift when he noticed your car, he called for a tow truck."
"And you never thought to wake me?"
"I thought you could use the sleep, you looked exhausted." Lisbon told him and Jane nodded as he looked around. "Are you okay?"
"Clear as rain."
"Okay," Lisbon replied as she watched Jane head back to his car. The tow truck driver filled up their car and then told them where the next town was before leaving himself.
"Are you sure you okay?" Lisbon asked as Jane started the car.
"Yes, why?
"You look a little shaken up," she told him. "Jane, what did you dream about?"
"Same thing I always dream about," he told her flatly as he pulled back on to the highway. Lisbon took that as her cue not to bring up the subject matter anymore. The rest of the trip back to the CBI had been in complete silence. As soon as they exit the elevator Jane headed for the stairs while Lisbon headed to her office.
"Hey boss," Cho greeted her as she walked into her office.
"What are you doing here so late?" Lisbon asked as she headed over to the couch to sit down.
"Finishing up the paperwork from the case," he informed her. "The sheriff relayed your message to us
so we figured after the last two days you would want to go home and rest."
"Thanks Cho," she smiled at him before leaning against the couch and closing her eyes.
"Night," he told her as he walked out of her office. Lisbon sat up and rubbed her eyes before getting to her feet and grabbing her car keys that she had left on the desk before they left for the case. Cho was right, she need to go home and rest.
Lisbon had taken a shower and just got into bed when she heard a knock on her door. Looking at the clock. Sighing, her got out of bed and headed downstairs and walked over to the door, she peek through the peephole and saw Jane standing outside.
"Do you have any idea what time it is?" She asked him as she opened the door.
"Early."
"Jane, it is 2am, what do you want?" she asked as she leaned against the door frame.
"Can I come in?"
"Yea," she moved aside and allow him to enter. "Do you want some tea?" She asked as she closed the door.
"No, I wanted to talk," he told her as stopped in her living room, his back was to her.
"And this couldn't wait until morning?"
"What did you dream about?"
"What?" She asked not sure if she heard him correctly.
"Tell me what you dreamed about," he told her as he turned around to face her.
"Go home, Jane." Lisbon said as she headed by to the door.
"I dreamed that you got hurt," he whispered from his spot.
"What?" Lisbon turned around to face him.
"You ask what shook me up, that dream."
"But you said your dream was the same thing you always dream about," she pointed out. Jane just looked at her. She let out a breath and then walked over to him. "How long have you been having these dreams?"
"Does it matter?"
"To me it does."
"For a while," he admitted as he dropped his head. She reached out and grabbed his hand in hers.
"You should have come to me," she told him.
"I can't," he pulled his hand away from hers and put some space between them.
"Why?"
"Because he already has a target on your back."
"Jane, I don't need you to protect me."
"I know, but I want to protect. I can't go through losing someone else I love, I just can't," he confessed. The two of them stayed quiet as his words sunk in, then Lisbon moved over to him.
"Then we have a problem."
"What?" Jane asked unsure what problem she was talking about.
"I can't lose you either, so I can't allow you to go off and do something stupid," she softly smiled at him. "For better or for worse, mostly worse some days, I feel in love with you."
"But we can't-" Jane sighed as he looked at her.
"Red John," Lisbon nodded her head in understanding then looked away from Jane. Jane shook his head and then place his hands on her cheeks before leaning down to kiss her.
"Better than my dream," he told her when he broke away.
"You kissed me in your dream?"
"Don't act so surprised because I know you were having the same dream," he told her and her face turned a shade of red.
"No," she shook her head.
"Liar," he smiled and leaned down to kiss her again before walking to the door.
"What happens now?" Lisbon asked as she followed him to the door.
"Same as always."
"Catch Red John."
"Then we can discuss our future," he told her as he placed a hand on the doorknob.
"What is it Jane?"
"Can I stay here, for the night I mean."
"Of course, come on," she held a hand out to him.
"Teresa?"
"We both slept better when we were next to each other, whats the harm in doing it again?"
"As least we get a bigger bed."
"And you will behave yourself."
"Don't you trust me?"
"No," she smiled as the two of them headed up the stairs. She stop at the entrance way to her bedroom.
"What made you come here tonight?"
"The sheriff said he would do anything for his son because he loved him. I wanted you to know how I felt," he told her truthfully.
"Tomorrow we need talk about what we are going to do about all of this."
"Tomorrow, tonight we sleep," he told her as he grabbed her hand and pulled her into the bedroom.
The End.
