Disclaimer: I do not own Bones or the song... This is my first time, so be gentle. The rest will come in due time!
"You took care of dinner, so I've got your dessert!" Cam says, playfully tugging on Booth's tie.
"It's getting late….but ice cream sounds good." Booth responds with a sexy grin.
Once inside Cam's apartment, Booth's phone rings. 'Damn, can't he let the phone go?' Cam wonders.
'Saved by the bell?' Booth thinks.
"I'll go get the bath water ready-so make it quick Seeley" and with that Cam heads out of the room.
'Bones?' as he looks at the caller ID. "Booth" he says with his charm smile that no one sees. He walks over to the stereo, hoping to mask his conversation from Cam. 'She'll kill me if she knows its Bones.' "Bones?" She still hasn't said a word. 'What the…..'
"Booth…" as he strains to hear her.
Honey why you calling me so late? It's kinda hard to talk right now.
"Bones, what's going on?" Booth paces, half listening to the phone, half to the song. 'Great, two great things I like, her and this song. And it would have to be this song, ugh!'
Honey why are you crying? Is everything ok? I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud. Well, my girls in the next room. Sometimes I wish it was you. I guess we never really moved on…
"It's really good to hear your voice" he sings to himself and to her. 'Stealing from a song, what a moron!'
"I'm sorry Seeley, I didn't know what else to do"
Saying my name, it sounds so sweet.
"Bones, are you in trouble, what's wrong?"
Coming from the lips of an angel, hearing those words makes me weak.
"I…I..I'm not….oh, it's nothing…." She's practically whispering.
"Temperance, please let me know what is going on. I want to help." He pleads, still pacing. His hand burrowed in his hair.
And I never wanna say goodbye, but girl you make it hard to be faithful, with the lips of an angel.
Cam's lighting candles while she draws the bath water, 'I know this is not ice cream, but this kind of dessert I can handle!' She gives herself a wicked smile. 'I wonder how long he's going to be on the phone. This better not be a case, he's been stuck with Brennan way too long. He's mine and I can't share his attention. Why should he be distracted about work when he's with me?'
"Temperance, please…"
"I…I was thinking about the case, I'm sorry. You're not on the clock, I shouldn't have bothered you with this." 'And I've been thinking about you too…'
Booth stops. 'Not many cases affect her.' He's rewinding the past weeks events through his mind. 'What did I miss? Were there signs that I didn't pick up on?'
It's funny that you're calling me tonight. And, yes, I've dreamt of you too, and does he know you're talking to me. Will it start a fight No I don't think she has a clue.
"Seeley, I'm sorry I bothered you…"
" Hey, YOU are not a bother!" He's yelling now. 'How can Bones be a bother? She can't be thinking rationally. God-now my thoughts sound like her!' "Temperance, talk to me. Please. Do I need to come over?"
"NO!" escapes her before she can even think.
'There she is, she's back to her normal stuburnness. My Bones is back!'
"Booth, I just needed to hear a familiar voice, and I know that Ange and Jack are out." Trying her best to lie. She didn't try Angela or know if they were out. She needed the sound of HIS voice. "Oh, you're out too…" her voice trailed off, remembering earlier. 'Shit, he's with Cam'
"No, I'm not out" he says half heartedly. He walks closer to the front door so Cam doesn't walk in and surprise him. "Why would you think I was out?"
Well, my girl's in the next room, sometimes I wish it was you. I guess we really never moved on.
She clears her throat. 'Not a good thing' he thinks.
"I saw you and ca in the parking lot earlier, so I now assume you are with her." Her voice trails off again. 'What am I doing? I am a forensic Anthropologist with 3 degrees and I'm reduced to school girl tactics!' She sighs louder than she hoped. 'Nice'.
"Bones, even if I was with Cam right now, which I'm NOT, it wouldn't matter. You're my partner. If you need me, just let me know." 'I'm either going to hell for lying or one of these women is going to lick my ass!'
"Booth, I'm sorry. I just seem to have bad timing right now." She knows he's with Cam, that's why she called. It's not that she doesn't want him to be happy, but with Cam? Cam's her boss. So what if they had a "thing" in the past. Why pick it back up now? 'What am I thinking? I have no claim on him, no stake in his life. What am I doing?'
"Bones, you still with me" Booth asks since all he can hear is her breathing, or is that…panting? 'What the..' "Bones, where are you, I'm coming over right NOW!"
'Oh great, see what I've done now' she mutters to herself. "Typical alpha male response" more to herself than him, but he'd heard it.
"What? You called me, remember? Look, just please tell my why you called." Even though he said please, he still sounded annoyed.
"I said I was sorry!" she fires back at him. 'Why did I call? I can't seem to remember.'
'Why is she doing this to me? Is she intentionally trying to ruin my night because she is alone?' "I'm sorry Bones. I'm glad you called. I'm just confused right now."
'You can say that again!' she muses to herself.
