Between the lines of love: A Jisbon story [The Mentalist]

Chapter 3 - Truth or Dare

Author's notes: I have no idea what to write in this chapter. So it just becomes what comes to my mind. Let's see.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jane POV
We just arrived at Lisbon's apartment and she unlocked the door. I sat down at the table and Lisbon prepared a tea for me and coffee for her.

After some small talk, I asked Lisbon if she would like to play something now. She suggested truth or dare, but I replied that this game with several people was more fun. We called the rest of the team and asked if they wanted to come over. Everyone said yes and made their way to us. When the bell rang, Lisbon opened the door and all three came in. Lisbon opened a beer for everyone and then again there was a bit of small talk until we sat in a circle on the floor. We wanted someone to get it by chance, so Lisbon got an empty bottle. We played Truth or Dare where you had to drink a shot if you didn't answer the question. We determined that the one of them who was first drunk had to pay for the next case-closed pizza. Then, finally, the game started.

Lisbon was the first to spin the bottle and it pointed at Van Pelt.

„Truth or dare?"

„Truth"

„Have you ever thought about leaving the CBI?"

„No, never!"

Then Van Pelt spun and it landed on me

„Truth" I said immediately

„You are boring!" Cho said cold as always

„What is the secret behind your biggest trick?"

„A magician never reveals his secret," I just said.

In response, I got with a laugh: "Then they have to drink a shot!"

Van Pelt handed me the glass and I drank it without hesitation. Then I turned the bottle.

Lisbon POV
After some time with many questions about Jane's methods or superficial questions about Van Pelt and Rigsby (which were already a couple), Rigsby was the first of the drunks, but Cho had to drink just one glass when Jane asked what was between him and Summer. However, the rest of us were also quite drunk in the meantime, so the round became more and more 'crazy', and more intimate questions and tasks were asked.

When the bottle landed on Rigsby, he had to kiss Van Pelt on his dare task.

In the meantime, the alcohol bottle was empty and in order not to get completely drunk, we let it be with the drink and you were no longer allowed to dodge.

Now it was my turn again.

„Dare"

Rigsby thought for a little moment and then said:
„Hold Jane's hand until the next time it's your turn."

„What?? NO!"

„Lisbon, that hurt me personally"

„You have to" said Van Pelt.

Jane held me his hand. I sighed audibly and grabbed his hand.

„I hope it's my turn again soon!" I murmured. Secretly, no one knew that I liked this moment very much. I had a strong tingling in my stomach all the time I gave Van Pelt a task. After that, I didn't hear anything anymore. My heart was pounding and pounding. And then...

„Lisbon, it's your turn" Jane said with a sad voice.

I was startled and didn't know what to do. Automatically I said „dare" and regretted it afterward (actually not but in front of the team it was too much for me). Cho didn't even think long and said:

„Kiss Jane"

Jane and I looked at him frozen.

„On the mouth" we couldn't believe it

„Oh and Jane, use your tongue" I tore my eyes open. Rigsby laughed inwardly. He couldn't believe that Cho just really did that.

Jane and I looked into each other's eyes in shock and unsure what we should do now. I was just about to disagree when Jane turned my head back to face him and kissed me. Jane kissed me!

Again a tingle showed up inside my stomach. He put his right hand on my arm. He began to move his lips reluctantly. And by and by I found myself doing the same.

Shyly, he opened his lips and his tongue hit my lips. I had to. A part of me wanted it, but above all my mind resisted it. I just couldn't like kissing him! It just didn't work! But I had to do it for better or worse.

But when I felt his tongue, it had happened. The resistance fell away from me and I wanted nothing more than to kiss Jane, touch him, and feel his closeness.

Cho, Rigsby and Van Pelt watched us in amazement.

I had completely forgotten that we were not alone and just when I wanted to continue passionately, Jane withdrew. Why did he move back? Didn't he like it? Didn't he want to? I was so uncomfortable with this situation and I got totally red. I think I looked like a tomato, maybe even a cherry. I have to get out of this situation somehow or end it. Luckily for me, Cho was just looking at the clock and pointed out to us what time it was already. Rigsby was so drunk that he couldn't drive anymore and I didn't want the others to do that anymore. So I asked them if they wanted to sleep here and everyone agreed. I gave Van Pelt the guest room, Jane slept on the couch and for Rigsby and Cho I got two mattresses and put them next to Jane's sleeping place.

*~*~*

When everything was organized and I was lying in my bed, I kept thinking about the kiss. This incredible kiss. I soon planned to have a conversation with him about it, but then I realized how stupid and childish this idea was. Full of thoughts of him, I didn't even notice that I fell asleep.

Yay, I did it. Please comment on how you liked it <3
First of all, it's mainly about the case again, but that was promised not the end of the Jisbon story.
