~50's PUGirl

PRIDE OF BOSTON

CHAPTER 5

Jane shook her head a few times, had she heard Maura correctly? She cocked an eyebrow as she studied Maura's face. Their constant unconscious and subtle flirting all day had led to this point. The game was definitely on. Giving a smirk she picked up the 'clit lickin' cowgirl' and handed it to Maura.

"Well I believe this is yours, then."

Maura lifted the shot glass to her lips, she breathed in the aroma of the shot before opening her mouth wide as she tilted her head back. Letting the smooth beige liquid ran down her throat. Licking her lips a few times, Maura turned to Jane giving the brunette a suggestive smile. Jane blushed slightly. It was obvious that Maura was up for this constant flirting.

They continued to drink through the array of different shots. Jane could feel herself getting drunker as she followed up the shots with a beer chaser. They continued to chat and sometimes people watch. They club was definitely bringing in a colourful choice of customers who were all still on a high from today's event.

Maura gave a small yawn; she covered her mouth with her hand. She was finally feeling tired. She looked to Jane.

"Should we go?" Maura smiled as she stood to leave.

Jane nodded a few times; she was starting to feel tired herself. Rising to her feet, she followed Maura through the crowd of dancers and towards the exit.

Suddenly Jane was stopped by a bright light shining in her face. Blinking a few times, she tried in vain to adjust to the light. After a moment or so, Jane realised that the bright light belonged to a news camera. She tried to shield her face from the camera and turn but was stopped again by Lexi Walker and a few officers, who had smiles plastered over their faces.

"And here she is Boston's Finest.." Jane looked to the news reporter who was standing beside the camera.

Looking flustered and confused, Jane looked straight into the lens of the camera. She glanced over her shoulder at Lexi who was silently willing Jane to say something. Giving a quick sarcastic smile to the camera, she tried to duck and dodge the camera man who was making it nearly impossible to pass him.

Angela tightened her dressing gown and placed her mug of hot chocolate on the coffee table in front of her; she arranged the cushions on the couch to make herself comfortable. She finally sat down on Maura's couch. Pointing the remote at the television, she turned it on. She flicking through a few channels and stopped when she saw her daughters face filling the large screen. She leant forward in the seat and pointed the remote at the television. The volume icon displayed and flashed as Angela turned up the volume.

"This year's Boston Gay Pride Festival has drawn in the crowds once again." The reporter said into the lenses of the camera. "Today's Pride Parade had the generous support of the Boston Police Department; their float centred on the unity of the gay community with a tongue in cheek themed depiction of "crime fighting duo's". Boston Homicide Detective Jane Rizzoli along with her girlfriend of nearly four years the Chief Medical Examiner Doctor Maura Isles supported the cause by dressing up in costume. Their portrayal as Buzzlight Year and Woody from the popular children's film Toy Story was certainly greeted whole heartedly by the large crowds drawn to the Parade. "

Footage of Jane and Maura together on the back of the 'dykes on bikes' riding along in the parade flashed on the screen. Angela's mouth dropped open as she watched Jane and Maura in costume waving to the crowds from earlier in the day. Angela glanced at Jo Friday who had lifted her head off the cushion, tilting it to the side giving an equal look of confusion. The small dog was watching Jane as she waved occasionally to the crowd. Her little tail wagged back and forth in excitement.

"So Detective Rizzoli what impact do you think your presence has made to this year's Pride Parade?" The reporter asked, as the camera swung from the report back to Jane who was still standing like a stunned mullet.

Giving a nervous giggle; Jane looked for Maura who was standing just out of shot, watching Jane. "ahh..um..i mean.." Jane stammered.

Maura walked into shot and stood beside Jane, she looked up at Jane and then quickly answered for the detective. "Well hopefully it will show and give encouragement to more professional women like ourselves to 'come out' and be proud of who we are.." Maura answered professionally.

Jane looked to Maura, in one way she could have killed Maura for saying what she had but on the other hand she was thankful Maura took the lead.

"So Doctor Isles I guess this will be yours and Detective Rizzoli's coming out story.." The Reporter smirked.

Maura smiled politely, she looked to Jane for an answer.

Angela's eyes were clued to the television screen. Even Jo Friday seemed intrigued to find out the answer to the question.

The thoughts that were swirling around in Jane's head were turning into a big messy knot of confusion. She hoped in one way that her Mother wasn't watching the late night news. Jane gulped inwardly before turning to Maura and giving her a heartfelt smile. She thought about what Jill had said earlier, that Maura was a keeper. She leant down towards the honey blonde, their lips only inches apart. In one fluid movement, Jane captured Maura's lips; she was surprised how soft they were. She was also surprised how Maura responded with a small audible moan as she pulled away and looked back at the camera.

The immediate area around them broke out in a thunderous cheer and hooting.

Jane glanced back at Maura and took her hand "This has been the best day…"

Angela fell back into the couch and stared at her daughter and best friend. A wide smile formed on the face of the elder Rizzoli. She grinned as she clapped excitedly to herself. Finally she could start planning Jane's Wedding.

Jane gripped Maura's hand tighter and led the honey blonde past the reporter and camera man. They weaved in and out of the crowd of club goers until they finally made it to the exit and outside.

Jane looked to Maura. She needed them to have a little privacy. She lead Maura to an empty shop door way and let go of Maura's hand. Looking over Maura's shoulder she took a deep breath and exhaled slowly as she looked deep into the Medical Examiner's eyes.

"Maura..i don't want to pretend to be your girlfriend just for one day..i want to be your girlfriend for life.."

THE END
