Disclaimer: I don't own Bones.
Author's Note: Well, this is now my second fan fic. I know I should be updating my other story (Remember to wear...) but my mind went a bit blank on that one and this came to me. I don't know where this is going, or even what my intentions are (I think it kind of has a basis on The Headless Witch in the Woods when Brennan finds out about Cam and Booth) but I don't know. Would love to know what you think...
Dr. Camille Saroyan was finishing up in the Jeffersonian lab for the evening. She was finally starting to feel a bit more connected to the people she was working with. Part of her hating having to be the boss and always telling them what to do – it definitely threw her out of the loop and put Dr. Brennan at the top of that cycle. She shook her head and laughed at herself for being so childish, as if there really was some kind of competition between them. Grabbing her coat she looked up to see a tall figure standing in her office doorway.
"Well, just the man I was wanting to see" she smiled as she neared closer to the F.B.I agent.
"Hey" he greeted. She kissed him on the cheek.
"Well, you ready to go? My place or yours?" she teased, running her finger along his torso and playing with his tie. He stopped her hand and cleared his throat.
"Look, we have to talk" he said plainly as she stepped away, eyeing him.
"Okay…let's talk…" she gestured towards her couch but he declined to sit. He moved further into the room and leaned the door over.
"Right, okay, cutting to the chase." He pursed his lips.
"Seeley, what is this about?" she was standing straight, facing him, her arms starting to fold over her chest.
"Look Camille…"
"Don't call me Camille." She cocked an eyebrow. He let out a soft chuckle.
"Well then don't call me Seeley." He just smirked. He shuffled a bit, and put his hands in his pockets. He pursed his lips again.
"You do realise you have to speak to let me know what you want to talk about" she said, being slightly cheeky.
"This whole…thing…we have…" he began. Cam rolled her eyes.
"Ah, so that's what this is about" she said, finally realising why he was acting so odd.
"It's fun…I mean, it is really good but…we've been down this road Cam…"he trailed off.
"Hey, like we both said, it's just a bit of harmless fun, no commitments, just sex." She smiled at him, blinking softly.
"Yea, I don't think I want that right now." He stared at her, his eyes giving more strength to his meaning. Cam weighed up the situation, realising that she was being dumped. She didn't want to let him see that she was more than peeved.
"Okay" she nodded, "thanks for letting me know." She was cool, collected.
"Right, okay and…I am sorry." Booth said, wincing a bit as he let the words slip out. She was a good woman, and a person he had known for years. He didn't want to mess her around.
"You don't have to apologise Seeley. It was just sex." She said, and smiled and started to make her way to the door. He knew the way her mind worked and he knew that she was just saying that to try and hurt him. He would be lying to himself if he denied that he didn't feel a pang, but not enough to change the decision that he had just made. As Cam was exiting the office she turned.
"Just one thing – does this have anything to do with Dr. Brennan?" he face was poker-straight.
"What? Of course it doesn't. Why would you even ask that?" Booth puffed out, as he crinkled his brow at her; eyes narrowing. Cam smirked, knowing that his reaction told her more than he could ever imagine.
"Okay. Just asking. Have a good night." With that she left him standing in her office as she left the Jeffersonian.
"Puh…Yeah right, like I would break up with someone for Bones!" he said out loud to himself as he furrowed his brow and heaved a sigh and exited the Jeffersonian himself. He couldn't help but look over at Brennan's office. He knew she wasn't there but the thought was nice.
