Work Text:
Jane and Frankie are sat at a booth in the dirty robber.
"Since when do we have dinner at a bar."
"What, I like it and the food is nice." replies Jane
"The food is average at best."
Frankie moves the chips around on his plate with his fork.
"Ladies and gentlemen, number9."
"Ah, I see."
"What?"
"The real reason you wanted to come here.
"What's that?"
"The sexy lead singer."
"I don't know what you're talking about." replies Jane
"She's cute, you gonna ask her out."
Jane shakes her head.
"Why not?...Is it because she's in a band."
"Look at her then look at me."
"Janey, you're gorgeous"
"She's...anyway the band been together 2 years."
"Oh my God"
"What"
"You're in love." replies Frankie
"Where you getting that from, I just like the band."
"Yea, but I bet you know more about her than you do the band."
Everyone applauds the bands first song.
15 minutes later.
Frankie stands.
"Where you going?"
"I'm going to the bathroom...is that ok?" replies Frankie
30 minutes later.
"Oh my God."
"What"
"She's coming over."
"Play it cool, Janey."
"Shut up"
"Hi...Jane, right"
Frankie clicks his fingers in front of Jane's face.
"Sorry...um...yea, how did you know my name?"
"You brother told me" replies Maura
Jane looks at him.
"I'm...gonna get a round in, Maura what can I get you?"
"Zinfandel." replies Jane
Maura and Frankie look at her.
"Lucky guess."
"Coming up."
Frankie goes to the bar but not before mouthing the words 'You got it bad' to Jane.
"That was a good set."
"Thank you." replies Maura
"I think it's very brave of you to quit your job to persue your dream."
"My parents might not agree." replies Maura
"They would if they heard you."
"Speaking of brave how you finding you're third year?"
Jane looks at her.
"The academy."
"Did my brother tell you about that too"
Maura nods.
"It's great, I love it there."
Jane looks at Maura.
"What do I have something on my face."
"No, sorry to be staring but."
"What?"
"You are so f****** beautiful." replies Jane
Maura's cheeks turn red.
"I'm sorry that was inappropriate."
"For all the things that I would call inappropriate you calling me beautiful is not one of them."
Jane smiles.
"I have a little confession to make...you're brother didn't tell me about the academy."
"Who did?"
"I asked around...it's what I do when I have a...crush."
"On me." Jane smiles
"I think you have...the most amazing eyes I've ever seen."
Jane leans forward kissing Maura
Frankie walks towards the booth and stops.
He drinks the Zinfandel and goes back to the bar.
