I awake not able to sleep and watch as Hannah sleeps, she looks so peaceful as her chest rises and falls. Her hair messy, lay over her shoulder and fall onto the pillow her arm lay on as well. She's a sweet woman, beautiful, and…suddenly my cell vibrates on the night stand next to me. A call at this hour was not a good thing a call at this hour only meant something bad. I answer not looking at the caller ID. I'm surprised at what I hear on the other end of the line.
"Booth?" She sounds upset, Bones is never upset, something is wrong. I look at Hannah and whisper as not to wake her, wondering if I should get up after spending time in a war zone one can become a light sleeper, waking to any certain noise. I decided to stay, the movement of me getting out of bed was more likely to wake her.
"What's wrong Bones?"
Honey why are you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey why are you crying, is everything okay?
I gotta whisper ?cause I can't be too loud
"I'm still marked Booth."
"What?" I look at Hannah again making sure she is still asleep.
"You said people leave metaphorical marks on one another and the marks had to fade before one could move on. I realized you marked me, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Booth I should never have called, never have told you." Oh Bones.
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
"No, Bones it's ok you know you can call anytime, always Bones."
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
"Thanks Booth, but what about Hannah?" I look at Hannah's sleeping form next to me and remember how she helped me in Afghanistan. How she was there for me, a shoulder to lean on a constant when I had none. She was Hannah she was there and now here, she was everything I was looking for.
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
"Hannah likes you Bones, she doesn't mind." But, Hannah didn't know and while Hannah was there in Afghanistan. It wasn't Hannah I dreamt about at night, it wasn't Hannah that invaded my mind while awake and while in the unconscious dream world.
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And yes I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me?
Will it start a fight?
No I don't think she has a clue
"That's nice of her, I couldn't tell. I'm happy for you Booth, Hannah seems to be a very nice person."
Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
"Yeah."
"Booth, about what you said, I don't know how to become unmarked. I need you to tell me how, to do do something about it. What if they are permanent Booth?" her voice cracked a bit scared as she spoke the last sentence.
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
I look at Hannah silence lingers on the phone line. Hannah is a sweet person, a gorgeous woman, and…
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
"Booth?"
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
"I'm here Bones." I'll always be here.
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
"What should I do Booth? I find I can't be rid of these marks, marks you left." Hannah was very sweet woman, she was beautiful, and…she wasn't Bones. Damn you Bones, why is everything so hard when you are involved. I looked at Hannah watching her breath while listening to Bones breath on the other end of the line. Deny as I try, I knew I was marked as well.
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Honey why are you calling me so late?
