"You look hungry. We're probably going to be here all night. Let me feed you," he smiles at her.
"Seeley," she groans.
"I won't take no for an answer Camille. Like it or not you and Bones have at least one thing in common."
"Yeah and what's that? Our ability to be able to put with you for long periods of time."
"That, and you both take your work way to seriously. If I wasn't here you'd work all night and not eat, or rest at all."
"That's true."
"Are you ok?"
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
"It's just that Michelle is out of town for the weekend on a ski trip. I never realized how quiet my house is without her there."
"Come on, let's go eat," he begs.
"Ok," she relents.
He takes her to a nice restaurant. She has pasta, and he has steak. Cam orders a bottle of wine. Seeley orders a second.
"I think that I should take you home," he suggest slightly less intoxicated than her.
"You're too drunk to drive."
"I'll get a cab."
"I don't want to go home," she argues.
"Why not?"
"It's too quiet. And I need to finish."
"The dead body will be there in the morning I promise."
"Maybe it's a zombie."
"You're plastered."
"So are you," she points out.
"Come on, let's go."
They grab a cab, and head over to her place. Seeley helps her out of the car.
"Do you want me to wait?" the cabby asks.
"No," Seeley pays him.
Two steps away from the cab Cam manages to trip and nearly plant her face in the sidewalk.
"Oh. Are you ok?" he asks.
"It's these damn shoes," she answers.
"I got you." He picks her up and flings her over his shoulder. He carries her to the door.
"Got a key?" he questions.
"Somewhere," she tells him.
He sits her down, and she rifles through her purse until she finds it. She finally manages to get the door open. She flips on the light and invites Seeley in. She slips out of her shoes.
"That better?" he asks.
"Um..." she moves towards him. She undoes his tie, and tosses his jacket aside. "That's better."
"Is it cool if I crash on your couch?"
"Of course," she answers as she attempts to unzip her dress.
"Need help?"
"Yes please," she smiles.
He unzips her dress, and she slips out of it right in front of him. He stares at her as she stands before him in nothing but a bra and panties. "Aren't you hot?"
"Uh huh," he answers.
She begins unbuttoning his shirt. "Cam I don't know if this is a good idea."
"Shut up Seeley!"
"But.."
She pulls him into a kiss. He doesn't back away. She takes a breath, and he allows her to cast his dress shirt aside. He pulls the clip out of her hair. She kisses him. Between kisses she manages to unbuckle his belt. She wraps her legs around his waist. He carries her toward her room as she kisses his neck. He quickly ditches his t-shirt and socks. She pulls him onto the bed next to her.
The morning comes far too early. Neither Cam, or Booth notice the sunlight fill the room, or the alarm clock go off. Cam wakes up when she hears the front door slam. She sits up in bed and looks around. She looks at the clock. It tells her that it's ten thirty.
"Crap," she throws back the covers and jumps out of bed. She pulls on her robe, and leaves the bedroom, shutting the door behind her.
She goes into the living room, and finds Michelle carrying her last bag.
"Did you have a good trip?"
"Are you ok?" Michelle asks.
"Of course? Why wouldn't I be?"
"Maybe because you're bright red."
Cam quickly grabs her purse off the kitchen counter. She grabs out her car keys and some money. She hands it to Michelle.
"Why don't you go get something to eat?"
"I already ate."
"For me. Will you go get me something to eat?"
"I'll cook you breakfast."
"But I want doughnuts."
"Is there a reason you're trying to get rid of me?"
"No why would you think that?"
"Maybe because of the clothes that are strewn throughout the living room."
"Hm. I didn't notice."
"How long do you want me to be gone?" Cam looks at the twenty in Michelle's hand. She grabs a couple more bills out of her purse. She puts them back, and takes out her platinum card.
"Why don't you treat yourself to a new outfit? Keep it reasonable," Cam answers.
"Ok," Michelle agrees.
"Drive carefully."
"Always do," she answers as she heads out the door.
Meanwhile in her bedroom Seeley has just woken up. He surveys his surroundings.
"Crap! What did I do?" he asks as his head pounds. He begins to get dressed. He nearly smacks into Cam as he hurries out of her bedroom.
"Been up long?" he asks.
"No. I was just talking to Michelle."
"I thought that Michelle was away for the weekend."
"She just got back."
"So she's here now?"
"No, she just left."
"Oh."
"I called you a cab."
"Thanks," he scrambles to find all of his clothes.
She notices him having difficulty buttoning his shirt.
"Let me," she insists. She quickly buttons his shirt. He never takes his eyes off of her.
"I'm sorry," she tells him.
"Why are you sorry? Last night was great."
"I know, but it was a mistake. Booth you're in love with another woman."
He doesn't say anything.
"You should get going."
"Yeah," he agrees.
He takes the cab to the restaurant to retrieve his car. He finds himself at Bone's apartment. When she opens the door she asks, "Booth what are you doing here?"
"I need to talk to you."
"Come in," she tells him.
He follows her in. She takes a seat, and he remains standing. "I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"I did something stupid."
"What did you do?"
"I betrayed your trust."
"What are you talking about Booth?"
"I don't know what I was thinking. I had way too much to drink."
"Booth what happened?"
"I slept with her."
"Who?"
"Cam. Last night," he answers.
"Oh," she replies.
"Bones," he looks into her big blue eyes.
"Booth it's ok. We all have desires that need to be met."
"Listen to me, please. I have to say something, and I just need you to listen."
"Ok," she agrees.
"I wanted it to be you," he reveals.
"Excuse me?"
"The whole time I wanted it be you. Bones I love you."
She stares at him in complete shock. He continues, "I want to be with you, and no one else. I'm sorry that I couldn't see it before, but I see it now. Please don't hate me."
"I could never hate you."
He waits for more, but she doesn't say another word.
"I'm going to get going. I want you to have time to think."
She lets him walk out the door.
