Author's Note: This is my first published fan fiction piece, so any constructive criticism would be great.
Spoilers: Santa in the Slush
"What the hell were you thinking?"
Caroline looked up from the file she was reading, annoyed at the interruption, only to see a very upset Angela stomping into her office. "Well, hello to you too."
Fixing her with an angry glare, Angela continued on. "I've put so much work into this project, only to have it almost ruined. They were just getting back into their groove, and now who knows how much progress is lost!"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Playing innocent never worked when suspects tried it on Caroline, but just maybe it would work on the artist.
"I'm talking about a puckish prosecutor who forced what should have been the kiss of the century." Nope, playing innocent didn't work. Well, it is often said that the best defense is a good offense.
"You really should be thanking me. Someone needed to get the two going, and your plans weren't getting the job done." She crossed her arms, a challenge in her voice.
"So a contrived, awkward kiss is your solution? You're lucky Brennan didn't kick your ass for that." Caroline had been more worried about a sexual harassment suit, but it had completely worth it. She had got to be the only witness to the historic first kiss. Wait a minute…
"How'd you even know about it?" Had someone else been there? Damn, she had been too distracted to check for other witnesses. She had expected a short five second peck, but she had counted way too many steamboats. It had been slightly shocking to see how much pent-up sexual frustration the two had between them. It made the whole denial thing that much more amusing.
"Brennan tells me everything." Angela smirked and then got a dangerous look on her face. "Look, you may be in charge here, but meddling with Brennan's relationships is my thing. If you meddle again without my permission, be aware that there will be serious consequences."
Caroline snorted. "Please. You think you scare me?" The nerve of her! Did this artist seriously think she could threaten a leading prosecutor?
"I should. I am Brennan's best friend. Who do you think she goes to for advice on how to deal with a puckish prosecutor? Next time, I'll tell her to report you for sexual harassment. That should go over well with your supervisors." With that, Angela flounced out of the room, leaving a thoughtful Caroline behind. She had really underestimated this Angela.
But, as her puckish side told her, the kiss had been so worth it.
