I've always liked Angela, so I decided to give her a go. I'm not sure whether or not I will be continuing this, because the ending is slightly ambiguous, so for now I will keep this a one shot until/unless I write more.
A Day in May
It was hot. May had only just begun begun, and it was so hot. Not hot like that really good-looking guy over there with the ice-cream stand though…
Abstinence did not suit Angela well. She was a highly sexual being, and a live in the moment kind of person. Those combined together with abstinence were deadly. She could swear that if she were a dude she would be getting so many erections because of it.
Thankfully, Angela was a woman, and since she was trying abstinence, she could (and would) hide her sexual desires. Except that ice-cream man was so hot.
Angela eventually came to the decision to kill two birds with one stone. She'd buy some ice-cream, and flirt with the man behind the stand. She got into line, there was a couple, about three children, and finally a lone woman in line.
By the time that only the woman was in front of her her two focuses (the heat, and the ice-cream man) were hotter than ever. That's when the woman in front of her kissed the ice-cream man, to which he replied with a "hello honey".
Why must all of the good-looking ones be taken?
Irritated, Angela skipped the ice cream. She had too much heart to flirt with a man who was taken, and judging by the way the two were talking, getting ice cream was going to take a while.
She found refuge underneath a large willow tree, and pulled out her sketchpad. She never had enough time to sketch for herself anymore. She was almost always working on FBI cases. Sometimes she really missed the days of reconstructing faces from limbo at her own pace. She thought it ironic how when this FBI liaison started she was eager for every new case.
After a while Angela started to wish that she had just waited for the ice-cream. Shade could only do so much on a day as hot as this. But she couldn't get up yet. The scenery was just to gorgeous to pass up, and she was halfway through her sketch anyways.
After a few more minutes of sketching Angela heard the voice of none other than Jack Hodgins behind her.
"Hey Ang!" He called out.
"Hi Jack," maybe she would just sketch some other day. Her sexual appetite had returned again, "What're you doing here?"
"Just, you know, studying some insects." Oh god that was hot. Why did the mention of bugs turn her on for heaven's sake?
"Oh, that's cool," She replied calmly, again feeling quite lucky to not be a guy, as she watched Jack sit down next to her, "I'm just sketching. I mean, who wouldn't take advantage of such a gorgeous day?"
"Yeah, it's such a nice day…" Jack trailed off.
"Yeah…" Angela added, not knowing what else to say to make this less awkward.
Things had of course, been very awkward since she and Jack had broken up. They had been in love, and sometimes that feeling sprang up on her. That and one (especially not one trying out sexual abstinence) could not help that notice that Jack was just so hot today.
She really needed to work on not using the same adjective over and over again.
After a few minutes of silence Jack addressed the elephant in the room.
"How are we still not over this?" He asked.
"No idea sweetie…" She trailed off again, not being able to help but notice how blue his eyes were. Suddenly she felt herself inching closer and closer. And he was inching closer and closer too!
The kiss was short. Jack left quickly after it as well.
And in the meantime, Angela couldn't help but thinking 'that was so worth breaking abstinence'.
Review, you know you want to ;)
