Crimson Sights

Chapter Nine: Lisbon's 2.0

'Help...' Someone whispered unto Lisbon's ear, its breath tickled her and pretty sure, it wasn't Jane. Because Patrick Jane is lying beside her. Sleeping. Out like light.

She stirred awake, her eyes flung open the moment she turned and laid flat against her back. The icy wind rushed past against her porcelain skin, it caused the violent shiver that ran down her spine and her skin was immediately covered in goose bumps. Teresa Lisbon was feeling the chills. She sighed loudly and muttered a few words that nobody but herself could only hear. Looking at her left side, a man laid peaceful in his sleep.

Patrick Jane never felt so comfortable for the past ten years of his life, the cinnamon scented sheets was the answer to his insomia but the woman who smelled cinnamon was the one who could fill the gaps of loneliness in his heart and that lying in bed with her was the best thing that could happen to him in those ten years.

An oh- in case you don't know, he loves her so much.

Once again, Teresa faced him and prepared to sleep. When someone walked outside her room, the evident footsteps were so loud it woked her up. With the best instincts of a cop, she grabbed her gun and unlocked her door.

No one was there, she was staring into a pathway were a dim light illuminated it. So much for walking, you could barely take a step with the darkness. She shrugged and went to bed again.

Moments later, Lisbon woke again. Now to find the doorknob being abruptly opened, she looked at the room where everything felt the impossible happening during those wee hours.

It was maddening. The sound was so annoying.

But something stopped her from getting and knowing what lies behind her four chambered room. She closed her eyes, shut the iries from seeing the person or object that wants to get inside of the room. She turned to Jane, who by the way was deep in slumber.

'Jane!' She hissed.

He mumbled something.

'Jaaaaannnneee!' She whispered.

'Whaat?'

'Wake up!'

'It's too early,' he covered his face with a pillow.

'You idiot! Wake up!' She said loudly.

'What do you want Lisbon?' He vaguely asks.

'You know I could kick you out of my room and let you sleep on the floor. By the way! You were supposed to be sleeping on my sleeping bag! How on Earth did you end up here?'

'Jeez woman! Can't you just take a deep breath and relax and besides! The bed is more comfortable and uh, inviting.' Jane says.

There were footsteps again and it was loud.

'Sssssh. Did you hear that?' Lisbon asks while she raised her index finger as if to silence Jane.

'Hear what? I can't hear anything!' Jane exclaimed.

'Are you going nuts woman?' Jane adds with a hint of humour in his voice.

'No! Shut up! Hear that?' She said and focused on something while looks at her like she has gone past insanity.

'You know what? That's just stress coming on your way Lisbon. A nice good night sleep should do the trick.' Jane relaxed back on the bed and took her hand.

'What if someone is inside the house?' Lisbon.

'Look, I've seen you lock the main door and there is no way an intruder will enter your apartment considering the tiny window you have and the guns you hide here.'

'Just go to sleep Lisbon, you also need saving. Well, everyone needs it.'

'I don't get what you mean?' Lisbon said but this time, she was half awake and half asleep.

'N-nothing. Go to sleep love, like tomorrow is too far away. Like you're not going to wake up early in the morning,' Jane added a big smile while Lisbon closes her eyes.

She snorted, 'thanks for reminding me.'

'Good night Lisbon, have sweet dreams.' Jane whispered.

Is it me or Jane just called me love? She thought. Well, a good night sleep would not hurt.

Lisbon slept that night. Her consultant's arm was trapping her body as he faced her and rested his chin on top of her head. But of course, a pair of eyes watched every rise and fall of their chest and listened to their evenly breathing.
