I just watched, for probably the tenth time, the episode The Bones That Foam, and this one popped into my head for some reason. This will be a short three chapter story. I hope you all enjoy it. Gregg.

"You paid for Booth to get a lap dance?" Angela asked in shock, but she was laughing her ass off in her mind.
"It was very educational," Bren said with a wicked smile. She had loved seeing how flustered that Booth got, especially when "Miss Lust" had her boobs in his face. Granted, she'd wished it was herself that was making Booth so flustered like that, but seeing it was almost as good.
"Oh I'm sure," Angela said sarcastically. "It's always educational seeing another woman shake her tits and ass in your mans face."
"Booth is not my man," Bren stated firmly, though it sounded rather empty to her ears, too.
"Save that for someone who hasn't seen the two of you together," Angela said with a wave of her hand. She sighed. "So how was it educational?" she asked.
"I'm always interested in what arouses a man," Bren told her friend.
"Sweetie, we all are," Angela chuckled. "Why do you think we're always purchasing all the sexy lingerie that only lasts a few minutes on us before the guy we're with takes it off of us?"
Bren laughed at the characterization. "True, but that's so artificial," she replied. She had to admit she enjoyed having and wearing sexy lingerie, as it enhanced her femininity in her opinion, but at the same time she had always been troubled at the stereotypical aspects of it. "I'm talking about the realism of one person making another sexually aroused. The lap dancer was very good, and it was interesting to watch her as she moved to the rhythm of the music, but also matched her movements to include her customer at the same time."
"I bet Booth enjoyed being educated," Angela smirked.
"All indications were that he did enjoy the experience," Bren nodded, oblivious to the sarcastic nature of Angela's comment. "He was visibly flustered, and his pupils dilated somewhat as she pressed her breasts forward towards his face. His verbal articulation was also similarly affected."
"Like a normal guy, Sweetie," Angela replied, smiling at the hilarity of it all. She would have paid good money to see the FBI Stud Muffin experiencing all that.
"I don't think I got my sixty dollars worth, though," Bren complained.
"What???" Angela asked, confused.
"Well I did pay for the lap dance," Bren observed, "but just when we got the information we needed Booth insisted that I wait for him outside. The same song was clearly still being played, so the dance was not over yet. Why should I have to leave if I paid for it and wanted to observe?"
Angela shook her head. It was difficult to believe that Bren, who enjoyed sex and her sexuality as much as any woman, could be so dense at times. "Booth had a hard on, Sweetie," Angela said bluntly, "and he didn't want to be embarrassed by standing up with you right there."
"Why would he be embarrassed?" Bren questioned. "An erection is a normal reaction to sexual stimulation for a male. It's nothing to be ashamed of."
"Sweetie," Angela said as she stood up and patted Bren on the shoulder. "I think that you need to do some serious thinking and catch up to your reality. It's time. You can deny it all you want, but it won't change who Booth is, and what he means to you. It also won't change why he would be embarrassed to be in such a state near you."
"I don't understand," Bren said with a definite look of confusion on her face.
"Just think about it, Sweetie," Angela told her as she was walking out of the door. "And when you figure it out, don't keep on thinking about it. Just go and tell Booth. He'll know what to do."
"What if he doesn't?" Bren questioned.
"Trust me, he will," Angela chuckled as she walked away.
A/N: Sorry about stopping it here, but I wanted each chapter to have a specific focus and this was the setup for the story. I've always enjoyed the interaction between Bones and Angela, so I wanted to use that as the initial vehicle to begin the story. I am almost finished with the third chapter Bones' Booth File and should have it posted tomorrow. Posting from this and other stories should be almost everyday for the next few days. Gregg.
