Disclaimer: I, sadly, do not own Bones
This has always been a story I wanted to do.
I want to show Brennan getting jealous for once.
This is my first multi-chapter story.
Please review!
Enjoy!
Brennan was sitting in her office, looking over some old case files.
Suddenly, Booth ran in and slammed the door.
"Booth, what's wrong?" "Bones, I need to talk to you."
"Okay? Proceed." "I need your opinion on something." "What?"
"I'm going to ask Nikki to marry me." Brennan was shocked, and jealous.
"Really?" "Yeah. I think the time is right."
"Then what do you need me for?"
"Do you think it's the right thing to do?"
"I don't know Booth. Its only been 5 months since you started dating her."
"Yeah, but I think I'm ready for this."
"Ok then, do it."
"You know what Bones, your right. Thanks so much. You're the best. I love you."
"Hey, what are best friends for?"
He gave her a hug. "I'll let you know what she says."
"Okay." He walked out of her office.
Brennan couldn't believe she just told him to do that.
When she always thought he would be asking her to marry him. Though she didn't believe in marriage, she's always dreamt of changing her mind if Booth ever asked her.
Then, in stepped Angela.
Great, shes the last person I need right now, she thought to herself.
"Hey Sweetie, why the long face?" "My face isn't long Angela. That's a very poor qualitative assumption."
"No Bren, it means why do you look sad."
"Oh. Im not sad. Why would you think I was sad?"
"Your face, and when I walked in here, you were looking down at your desk, like you were getting ready to cry."
"What? No Ange, I'm fine."
"Bren, I'm your best friend. I think I know you better than that."
"Okay. Booth is going to ask Nikki to marry him."
"What? But its only been like, 5 months."
"I know, but he said he was ready."
"Aw, I'm sorry Bren."
"Why are you sorry for me, I'm not the one getting married."
"Ne..never mind. Did she say yes?"
"I don't know, he just left to go ask her."
"And quite frankly, I hope she says no." Brennan mumbled under her breath.
"What was that?"
"Oh, nothing." Brennan's phone rang.
"Brennan."
"Bones! She said yes! She said yes!"
"Really? That's uh, great." She said sadly.
"I know isn't it. Hey I have to ask you a favor. Can you meet me at the diner in an hour?"
"Sure."
"Okay. See you then Bones. Bye!"
"Bye Booth." She hung up the phone.
"What did he have to say?" Angela asked curiously.
"Nikki said yes."
"Really?"
"Yup. He has to ask me a favor and he wants me to meet him at the diner in an hour."
"I'm gonna laugh if he asks you to be his best man."
"Why would he do that Ange, its only for a guy."
"Not necessarily. Have you ever seen "My Best Friend's Wedding." Or "Made of Honor?"
"No. What happens in them?"
"In My Best Friends Wedding, a girl falls in love with her best friend and then he decides to get married and asks her to be his best man. And in Made of Honor, a guy falls in love with his best friend and then she decides to get married and she asks him to be her made of honor."
"Those are fictional movies Angela."
"So. It still can happen. And Patrick Dempsey's in it and oh man, can you say fine?"
"Fine."
"Not literally Brennan."
"Oh."
"Do you love him sweetie?"
"I don't know, why do you ask?"
"Because you seem to be having a hard time with this."
"No. Its Booth's life and I cant control what he does."
"Yea you can. All you have to do is tell him you love him and he'd be yours."
"No Ang, I cant do that to him or Nikki. And besides, I don't love him."
"Uh-huh. Ok. Whatever you say Bren. I'm gonna let you go meet him and you call me later okay?"
"Ok." Angela gave her a hug.
"Uh, you have so much to learn sweetie." Angela said, and she walked out the door.
Brennan sighed, grabbed her keys, and headed to the diner.
When she walked in, Booth was already sitting there.
"Bones! I thought you'd never come."
"Sorry, I was talking to Angela back at the lab." She said as she sat down across from him.
"Did you tell her to good news?"
"Yeah."
"What did she say?"
"Nothing really, I think shes happy for you."
"Well why wouldn't she be?" Brennan didn't answer the question.
"So what did you have to ask me?"
"Well, Nikki knows how important you are to me, so she wanted me to ask you to be her maid of honor."
"Really? I barely know her."
"I know, but shes doing it for me. So what do you say?"
"Uh, sure."
"Ok. I'll have her get in touch with you soon."
"Ok." Booth's phone rang.
"Booth….O hey sweetie. I'm at the diner with Bones……Yea…..she said yes…..ok I will…….see you in a little bit…..love you too…..bye."
"That was Nikki. She said thank you."
"Sure."
"I have to go Bones, but I'll talk to you soon."
"Okay." He got up, leaned down and kissed her on the cheek.
"Thank you again Bones. Love ya." He said as he walked out the door.
"Love you too." She mumbled under her breath.
She sat alone for about 20 mins and finally decided to leave. She was tired and drained. She went home. She sat down on her couch and layed there.
She remembered the night that could've changed everything between them.
Flashback
"Bones. I need to tell you something." She was analyzing a body, like always.
"Bones!"
"Huh? O sorry, what?"
"I need to tell you something."
"Yes?"
"Can you look away from the body for 2 minutes?"
"Sorry." She looked at him.
His heart wrenched. "Whats wrong Booth?"
"I love you. And I need to know if you love me too."
"No."
"What?"
"No. Its to riskful. Were partners. Its not right for us to do this. Im sorry, but can we just be friends?"
"Uh, sure."
"Thanks booth."
"Um, your welcome, I guess."
End Flashback
After that, they become even better friends then they were before. They often told each other I love you, without ever really meaning it.
She wished she would've never told him that she didn't love him, when ultimately, she did.
That's something she would regret for the rest of her life.
Thanks for reading!
I know the flashback was kinda cliche, and so was Booths reaction. Sorry for that. Please dont critize me for it =(
Now please review and maybe I'll have another chapter up sooner =)
