Brennan was in her office going through the last paper work for the day. The Jeffersonian party was on tomorrow and since Brennan knew Booth wasn't planning on going with anyone else she had decided she was going to be brave ask him. Just as a friend of course.
Then it wouldn't be crossing his stupid line she thought.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Angela come into her office.
"Hey Sweetie. So what are your plans for the big party tomorrow?" Angela asked and sat in the chair opposite her.
"Oh nothing much" Brennan replied at little too quickly.
"I know that look sweetie. You're planning something and I could have sworn you blushed a minute ago" Angela said with a knowing smirk.
Might as well tell her, she can practically read my thoughts anyway
"Okay I was going to ask Booth to come with me. Just as a friend obviously, two partners going together." Brennan explained.
"Oh my God! You're finally asking him on a date" Angela said with another smirk.
"Ange you clearly didn't listen to a word I said. Just as a friend remember?" Brennan repeated.
"Sure, sure. Just saying if it was me I'd be taking full advantage of the evening. If you know what I mean" Angela said and raised her eyebrows suggestively.
Brennan rolled her eyes.
"What? You don't want another Agent Perotta trying to take him away from you now do you?" Angela said seriously.
Brennan shuddered at the mention of Agent Perotta. On their last case, Perotta had to interrogate Booth and to quote Sweets "There was sparks flying" between them. A pang of jealousy went through her as she remembered hearing about their flirting.
"I hit a nerve there. Didn't I? Go get him" Angela finished and left Brennan alone with her thoughts once more.
As if on cue Booth came into the room. She immediately got out of her seat and went over to greet him.
Look just ask him and get it over with.
"Hey Bones. Are you alright? You look a bit pale" Booth asked concerned.
"Come to the Jeffersonian party with me tomorrow" Brennan managed to get out.
Booth now looked shocked.
"What Bones?" He asked nervously. Obviously he was clearly unsure of why she was asking him in the first place.
"I mean just come with me as a partner/friend type thing. I didn't think you were going with anyone" Brennan explained and suddenly found the carpet very interesting.
"Oh okay. I'd love to you with you" Booth replied. She looked up again to see him smiling.
"Great!" She said relieved he had said yes.
"So I'll meet you all here say around 6.30 tomorrow evening?" Booth asked happily.
"Okay and then our limo is bringing us there" Brennan said and knew it would make Booth excited that they were going in a limo.
"A limo? Nice one Bones. I'll see you then" Booth replied excitedly before he headed out.
"Yeah see you then Booth" She called out to him and watched him leave.
She couldn't wait for tomorrow.
