Chapter 1: Feelings
Jane Rizzoli couldn't believe her friend Maura, she had called her in the middle of the day.
"Hey Jane, guess what I have for you?"
"Please don't tell me I have to come to work."
"Actually there is this guy I want you to meet."
"Maura, why do you keep on insisting on finding me a guy?"
"Oh trust me, this one is good."
"That's what you said the last time."
"I promise Jane, you will like this guy."
"And if I don't?"
"I promise, I will stop setting you up with any male species."
"Just male species?" Jane asked, uneasily.
"Unless, you want to date a girl?" Maura asked, surprised.
"Just if this fails, let me find my own partner to date."
"Alright, he's picking you up at 8 o' clock tonight."
"Thanks for the three hour heads up," Jane groaned.
"Yeah... well I got to go, bye," Maura hangs up.
Jane shook her head, and laid down on her bed. She decided to take a nap, but she woke up when she was kissing her best friend in her dream.
"That's the third dream this week," she sighs and looks at her phone. "Maybe it's telling me something," she got up out of bed, and paced around her room.
Jane was fixing to get ready when there was a knock on the front door. She goes to open and there appeared her friend, soaked from head to toe, that put a smile on Jane's face.
"I'm guessing that it's raining?"
"Are you going to let me in, or do I have to move you?"
Jane stepped to the side of her friend. Maura entered and had her arms crossed trying to warm herself up.
"Do you want some dry clothes there?"
"Um... that would be nice," Maura smirked.
Jane just nodded and went into her bedroom, coming out with some clothes.
"Go change, you smell like wet dog," she pinched the bridge of her nose.
Maura headed to the bathroom and came out ten minutes later. Her hair was still wet, Jane for some reason couldn't stop looking at her.
"Um... Jane, why are you staring at me like that?" she waved a hand in front of her friends face.
"Oh sorry, just um... thinking about this dream I've been having... um, of you."
"You have dreams, about me, that seems a little strange there Jane."
"I can't really control my dreams there Maura."
"Wouldn't that be cool," she smiled brightly.
"You're so weird," Jane shook her head. "So why did you come to my house?"
"To help you prepare for this date, I know what attracts this guy."
"Then why don't you date him?" Jane crossed her arms.
"Oh, he's not my type."
"Okay, well then go pick me out something to wear."
"Alright," Maura winks and then rushed into Jane's bedroom, closing and locking the door.
Jane just sat down on her couch and placed her hands behind her head, closing her eyes for a couple of seconds.
"I found your outfit, open your eyes," Maura smiled and Jane opened her eyes, giving her a glare.
"That dress makes me look fat."
"Not possible Jane, it makes you look hot. Even though you always... um never mind," her cheeks flushed.
"Yeah, you are weird," Jane shook her head.
"Now go put on that dress."
Jane grunted and took the dress heading into the bedroom. She comes out a few minutes later.
"Can you help me zip it up?"
"Of course," Maura smiles, and pulled the zipper up. "See you look hot."
"Uh huh," she rolled her eyes.
"He'll love it Jane."
"Alright, so are you going to wait until he comes, or are you going to leave?"
"I can wait until he picks you up, make sure you don't bail on him."
"And why would I do that?"
"I know you Jane," Maura reminded her.
"And that is pretty scary of how well you know me."
"What can I say... it's a gift of mine."
Maura grabbed her friends hand and pulled her to the couch, where they both sat and waited.
"So tell me about these dreams you've been having about me."
"I rather not say."
"Come on, it'll be fun," Maura smiled.
"Trust me, no it won't."
"Please?" Maura begged.
"I um... dream that we um... kiss."
Maura looks at Jane in confusion, "Really? Now that is weird."
"Is it?"
"Isn't it?" Maura asked. "Who started the kiss?"
"That would happen to be... you."
"Oh, well good thing that was just a dream, or else our friendship would kind of get awkward."
"Do you really think it would," Jane asked, curious.
"Well yeah, look Jane we're like best friends and you are a very amazing woman, but it would be weird to go towards that boundary because we're both girls, and I don't know if I can go, that way... I like men..." she got cut off by Jane placing a hand over her mouth.
"Shut up Maura, okay? It was just a dream."
"Okay, okay, glad we're on the same page," Maura removed her friend's hand.
"Yeah," Jane got up from the couch and headed back into her bedroom, to take care of some things.
Maura couldn't stop looking at the closed door, "What was that all about?" she shrugs and went to go raid Jane's fridge.
"And just what do you think your doing?" Jane asked, making Maura jump.
"You scared the hell outta me."
"Good, stop snooping around in my fridge."
"It's called raiding your fridge not snooping babe," Maura smirked.
"Why did you just call me babe?"
"We're LLBFF's remember?"
"Life long best friend's forever," Jane shook her head. "Now that was a weird moment," she laughed at what occurred the week before with Giovanni.
"Yeah it was... I felt awfully comfortable in your arms."
"You did?" Jane asked, shocked, even though she agreed with her.
Maura shrugged, "It was nothing."
"Uh huh," Jane nodded and went to take out a bottle of water from her fridge. "Oh and just so you know, my date is ten minutes late."
"Damn, it's passed eight o' clock already."
"Yeah, you sure know how to set them up Maura."
"I'll make it up to you Jane," she nods.
"How?"
Maura smirked and wrapped her arms around Jane's waist. "Just close your eyes."
"Why?" Jane gulped.
"Please, I can't do it while your looking at me."
"Fine," she grunted and closed her eyes.
Maura nervously stood on her toes so she is equal with Jane, and she leans in, but just as Jane felt Maura's breath near her lips, there was a knock on the door. Maura pulls back.
"I um... think your date is here."
Jane opened her eyes, "Were you just about to..."
"Of course not," Maura pulls her towards the door, and opened it.
Jane looks up and her jaw drops, "Um... hi."
The man smiled, "I'm Eric Roswell, nice to finally meet you."
"I'm Jane Rizzoli, pleasure is all mine."
Okay so how was that for a first chapter... I'm new at this Rizzoli and Isles stuff, and any thoughts are welcomed
