Thank you so much for the positive reviews! Here's a new chapter for you! Enjoy! :)
When Brennan awoke, the first thing she noticed was the massive pounding against her skull. The second, was that she was naked, in a bed that wasn't hers.
She felt the weight of a muscular arm on her waist, and immediately tensed. She looked down at the hand on her side, immediately recognizing the structure of the phalanges.
'Oh my god.' she thought, 'Booth.'
Her mind began racing, almost repudiating the idea of what was the logical conclusion of what had happened last night. Though panicked, she slowly removed his arm from around her, wrapping it around a pillow. She pushed herself off the bed slowly, careful not to move the mattress a significant amount.
Once off the bed, she sauntered across the room, careful not to wake him. Grabbing her miscellaneous items of clothing that had been strewn across the floor, she tip-toed into his bathroom. She slipped into her previous night's clothes, and a pang of guilt hit her as she exited the bathroom and saw his sleeping frame in the sheets.
She stood ambivalently in the doorway of his bedroom, debating whether or not she should wait until he wakes up and talk to him about it, or just leave and avoid an awkward conversation.
Deciding to take the easy way out, she found her phone and purse on the table by the front door, and left.
She took the stairs instead of the elevator, needing to run off some of her adrenaline. About halfway down, she regretted taking the stairs, but when she made it to the lobby, she was glad she did. When she exited the stairwell, she saw the familiar blonde curls of none other than Hannah Burley, standing with her back to Brennan in front of the elevator.
Ducking her head, Brennan exited the building quickly, walking out into the crisp morning air. She hailed a cab back to her place, feeling rushed to get to the Jeffersonian.
She took a quick shower, trying to knock off all the remenants of what had happened last night. Though the memory of that night was completely black, it didn't take a genius to come to the conclusion of what had happened.
Booth awoke to the sound of his apartment door slamming shut, and the familiar sound of Hannah's heeled boots clicking across the floor.
His head was pounding, and he was completely naked. He heard Hannah setting her things down where she normally does, and he quickly pushed himself off the bed with a wince. He found his boxers on the floor near the foot of the bed, and slipped them on. Walking out into the hallway, he half stumbled to the kitchen, seeing Hannah leaning against the counter, waiting for the coffee maker to be done.
"Seeley."
"Hannah why are you..."
She cut him off, "I'm sorry. About last night." she said, "I shouldn't of blown up like that. It was stupid. I was being stupid."
"Hannah, you made yourself clear last night. You don't want to be with me. You don't..."
She cut him off again, "I didn't mean it, I want to be with you. Honestly Seeley I really do. It's just that this new life that I'm living...with you...sometimes it just becomes a lot to take in." she admitted, "But I am genuinely sorry. I blew up out of no where, and you didn't deserve that. You're a great guy, and I don't want to loose you over something as stupid as that."
He pulled her in for a gentle kiss, "I don't want to loose you either." he said, "But we'll talk more about this later alright? I have to get to the office."
Watching her nod, he slipped from the embrace, and headed back to the bedroom. After having a quick shower and shave, he began making the bed. However, it was when he yanked back the sheet that he nearly froze. The familiar smell that he could on pinpoint as Temperance Brennan hit his nose, but he remembered being with Brennan last night at the bar, so that's probably why.
"She must of given me a hug or something." he thought, exiting the bedroom.
He heard Hannah yell goodbye from the pantry, and he returned the temporary farewell, and walked out the door.
The first thing Angela noticed when Brennan walked into the lab that morning was that she looked like complete hell.
Angela decided to wait, and approach Brennan in her and then press for details.
"Sweetie? You alright?"
"I'm fine, Angela."
"I've heard that one before."
"I just...I think I made a mistake."
With this, Angela sat down on Brennan's couch, "What do you mean?
"I...I'm finding myself in a place that I believe will end as the perfidiousness of someone I care about."
"You feel like you've betrayed someone?"
"Not exactly, I just feel like I'm going to loose someone's trust."
"Brennan just tell me what is going on." Angela demanded.
"I...I woke up in Booth's bed this morning. When I figured out where I was I panicked, and left."
"Wha...? Like just in Booth's bed or like...naked in Booth's bed?!"
"What do you think Angela?"
"I...Oh my god Brennan! What...what did you two do last night?!"
"He called me last night, he and Hannah had gotten into a fight. He was really drunk, and when I arrived at the bar to take him home, he insisted that I have a few drinks before we leave. I remember sitting there and having a few shots, and that's where my memory of last night ends." Brennan stated, "However, I believe that you and I can both draw a logical conclusion of what happen after he and I left the bar."
"Bren...this is huge. Why didn't you stay and talk to him about it?!"
"Because Angela, technically he is still with Hannah. He said that they just got into a fight, but nothing about them breaking up. I'm glad I didn't stay though, because when I walked out of door that leads to the stairs, I saw Hannah waiting for the elevator."
"Oh my god." Angela said, still flabbergasted.
"I'm not going to tell him."
"Brennan! You have to tell him! This is huge!"
"What's huge?"
The two women turned to see none other than Seeley Booth standing in the door way to her office.
"Nothing." they said simotaniously.
"Whatever. Bones we have a case. Let's go, chop chop." he said, clapping his hands together.
"I'll uh...I'll get my kit." Brennan said awkwardly, brushing past him.
"Don't worry Sweetie, your secret is safe with me. For now." Angela yelled to Brennan's back.
"What's with her?" Booth asked.
"My lips are sealed." Angela said, leaving him alone in Brennan's office.
Still interested? I'm going to try to get another chapter up today. Review! :)
