"So, how did it go last night with…what's her name." Emma crashed on the couch, waiting for Brennan's response.
As his head was leaning back on the soft cushions, he gave out a heavy and one might tell an annoying sigh and lifted his arm only to drop it on his lap, his eyes diverted to the ceiling. "Elisabeth…turned out she was already seeing someone else, but didn't want to tell me." He then turned his head towards his friend's face full with anticipation. Brennan knew what kind of response he was going to get from Emma.
"Tough for a second date." The young girl nodded, trying to look innocent. A very loud giggle could be sensed coming out from her mouth soon.
Brennan knew this and lifted his hand, turning his head to the other side. "Go ahead, start." And that's what Emma did, from the moment she let go of those giggles.
"Maybe you need to work on your technique of reading women. A lot," Emma said in between giggles.
Emma loved to joke about Brennan on his unsuccessful dates. The fun was of course all with good intentions and she simply couldn't help herself. Brennan knew this well. "Yes, shame I wasn't born a psionic like you," he said and gave a short smile.
"Some of us are lucky sweetie, some of us..." Emma quickly pointed at Brennan. "…aren't." And giggled again
"Oh I'll have a really nice day when you come back from a disaster date." Brennan lifted his head and looked at her.
"Ha!" Emma leaned sideways. "You won't get that lucky." She assured him.
"Who knows." Brennan showed a smile as if hiding something. "Who knows."
There was a short pause. "So did you meet this guy?" Emma stretched out that word, willing to try and annoy her friend a little more for fun.
"I was that fortunate," Brennan replied. "Not a pretty scene of his girlfriend with another man."
"Was there a fight?" Emma asked.
Brennan laughed. "Do you think it would've been worth it to have one?" He lifted his eyebrows.
Emma shook her head. "Hmmm, not." Tapping his shoulder gently. "You sometimes go out with the - in the real sense of the word - strangest women, Bren."
"Was that meant in a negative way?" Brennan sounded not surprised.
"But of course!" Emma pouted and giggled again.
"You don't come off any better, Em, from the guys I've seen you with." He responded.
"At least I didn't have dates set in hell." Emma played with her hair for a second and watched as Brennan gave her a "oh please!" look.
"Well, If you're done having your fun with me..." Brennan got up, turning towards Emma to lean over, his face, covered with a smile, a couple of inches from hers. "…I think I'll go take a shower now." And quickly pulled away, leaving her alone in the room.
"Alright, Don Juan." Emma shouted with a wide smile. Seeing his reactions to her teasing was just too cute for her which is why she enjoyed it so much.
