This little story popped into my head and I thought I would share it. It is going to be very short...just a couple chapters and the chapters are kind of short as well. I hope you enjoy it! Please let me know what you think!
Strangers
Chapter 1
"Haven't you ever just had a moment, one moment in your life, where you thought everything was perfect and you knew it would be okay?" Angela asked her best friend.
"No Ange, there is no way you can know everything will be okay."
"You know what I mean sweetie, a moment when you forget the world and only one thing matters."
"Well, there was this one time; I was twenty, not quite finished with my first doctorate. Maggie, my best friend in school, talked me into going to New York for a weekend. Her parents lived there and she often flew home. She had always asked me to go with her but I wasn't comfortable around families. This time, for some reason I went, she promised me I didn't have to do the family thing with her that I could just go and we would have a great time. We had so much fun. I even met someone there."
"You met someone? What was he like, explain!"
"Well, he was tall and had dark brown hair. I don't remember his name or really even his face now. He came and left so fast that I had forgotten about it. He was a dream Ange. Kissing him was like being set on fire inside. I had the best two days of my life with him and then I left. He asked for my number, to keep in touch, but you know me. He would have left me anyways. I can't believe I forgot his name, it was something different, I hadn't heard it before. Truth be told I am lucky I remember going to New York with Maggie, that was such a long time ago."
"Sounds romantic, you never tried to find him?"
"No, I am sure he wouldn't even remember me. I told him my name was Sarah anyways."
"You didn't tell him your real name?"
"Of course not, I was leaving and didn't want to get attached. He couldn't ever find me if he didn't know who he was looking for."
"So he would have come after you?"
"Yeah, I know he would have. He was leaving he said, had to go overseas for something. But he said he would find me when he got back. It scared me."
"Do you regret it?"
"Yes and no. I have never felt a true connection to anyone like that since, except…"
"Except?"
"Well, don't go all crazy because it's not the same."
"Just tell me already."
"Booth, he makes me feel safe, just like the other guy. No one had ever made me feel the same until I met him."
Angela let out a squeal that could be heard all the way down to the Hoover building.
"We are just partners Ange, shhhh, he just makes me feel save is all that I am saying."
"Sure sweetie, if you say so. Well, I hope that someday you will find your mystery man. I have to go work on this face now. And sweetie?"
"Yeah?"
"Don't count Booth out just yet." Angela smiled and turned to walk away.
