The aftermath of the 'NO'

Chapter 2

A very hurt Bones tried to move on after Her one true loves breaks her heart, with a simple NO

The first show down

...

In New York Tony dressed in a towel, had just kissed her on the neck, as he jumped on Tempe's back and hugged her.

"Was that Booth?"

"Yes and you talk too loud. He may have heard you."

"All I said was you looked good in black, but better in the nude,"

"What do you think he would have thought we were doing."

"Something I would like to do now."

"Keep dreaming. We're going to be late, for the reservation..


It was seven in the morning when the phone rang.

"Hello Bones did you have a good night?"

"Already Booth with the nasty sharp remarks, a new low for you."

"Sorry I was up till 2am awaiting your call after your date, I sorry if you thing I'm grumpy ."

"I told you I would call later, or in the morning Booth."

"Ok it's just you did not give me your hotel name or room number, and your cell was off. Are you coming home today?"

"My cell died it fell on the floor. No I'm going to stay an other day or and see the sights, I also want to see Rick.

"Well that's your business I guess, I can't say I'm happy about it. What your phone number if I need to call."

"Hold on Booth."

Again he heard voices in the back ground.

"Here is the number XXX-XXX-5656. I'll be out till around six, if you need me for anything about Chris. Have a good day Booth."

…...

In New York a faint male voice was heard.

"You have not told him you are sharing my home. My. Oh, my Tempe you know when he finds out he going to blow his top. Are you ready for that?"

Swinging a pillow Bones said .

"I'm not sure, he may yell and scream but he never ever hurt me. You on the other took my 'cherry' and hurt me. "You were very tight as I remember, Not so much now, right babe."

"Your bad and embarrassing but you have a good memory."

"Remember what you said yesterday about Booth?"

"I'm sure he would understand, the connection you and I have now."

"Yes right you, and me on my bed, in my house, in our PJ."

"Tony you don't wear PJ."

Tony started laughing dropping his towel, and Tempe started a pillow fight.


In the morning Booth pulled the cassette from the phone and took it and Chris off to the Jeffersonian. He dropped Chris at daycare and went to Hover building audio tech lab . He's troubled by what he could almost hear.

"Seely Booth long time no see."

"Hi Bob I have a personal thing I would like you to help me with."

"Booth anything for you your help back a then can never be re-paid. What the problem?"

"This is personal Bob, on the QT please. I want to hear the conversation in the back ground. Forget the front talking."

"Ok let I'll get started."

Booth went up stairs to his office and started work.

At 10:30 Bob from the lab called and ask Booth to drop by at lunch to hear the tape. As booth entered the lab both the other techs got up and left.

"Something I said, Bob."

"No Booth they felt you needed privacy "

"Don't tell me it that bad?"

"It personal Booth I'll set the stage. The first call this is the background. At the start of the call"

He then started the tape with the main voices very low'

The sound of knocking is heard."

"Tempe time to go."

The voice was male but sing, song, not deep and masculine.

"I was up till 2am awaiting your, call after your date."

[Yes you were in bed before then little girl….He thinks you are in a hotel, very funny…..and an other night oh wow…I wonder what he would say if he knew that at this minute you were half-naked on my bed with me sitting on your backside. Kissing your neck…... She then said Have a good night Booth.]

With tears in his eyes and a heavy heart Booth thanked Bob and left. In his office he did a reverse trace on the phone number Bones had given him. He found the name that went with the number. He found an other number that's listed as private

Booth locked the door of his office and made a call, at two in the morning. A sleepy voice answered.

"Hello Tony Sander here, what do you need at this f...ing hour?"

"I need you to send the mother of my child home. This is the boyfriend of the woman you are in bed with now you cock sucker."

"Tempe,… it's Seely,…. he would like to speak with you now." Again the sing song voice.

An equally sleepy voiced Bones came on the line.

"Booth how the hell did you get this number?"

"FBI you forgot that Tempe? I have friends in low places. Get your self out of his bed and get back here today or you will never see our daughter till she 18.

I taped your call to me from New York, you F_king boy friend saying he like you in black underwear, but better in nothing at all. Have you got the point Tempe, he has a big loud mouth, chose his dick or your child. Stop being a whore . Be here by midnight today or be ready to be served Monday. Good night Tempe.

...

The next day at the Booth/Brennan house, tension was in the air . Booth had asked Angela to take Chris to the zoo, and keep her overnight, Booth told her just a little about the New York trip. Some of the things she knew already about , some she did not. She knew Brennan was very depressed and very upset about Booth backing down on the marriage. She had no idea who was the man she was with over the weekend. She told Booth she could not imagine her with an other man. After a few other things are settled she went home.

Bones arrived by cab at 12:30 looking very tired and very stressed. She walked past Booth and went straight to her room. Acting like a normal return from a book tour , She started unpacking. Booth walked into her room right after her."We agreed to knock before going into each other room, You remember that Booth."

"We agreed to a lot of thing. One of the big thing was to be honest with other, right."

"Ok Booth what do you need to talk about, I'm tired"

"Let start with Tony Sander, how and why?"

"Tony is an old friend from 'The system' I needed an escort for the night he lives in the city."

"DID you and Tony sleep together?"

"You need to define the word sheep. Because I did sleep at his home."

"Have you had sex with this f-king guy."

"Blank statement Booth, general answer, yes I have a few times."

Booth is choked up at her remark. She admitted she had sex with him. He was unable to speak for a few minutes. Booth did not see the spiteful look in Bone's eye.

"What else do you want to know, Booth speak up.

You called me a whore over the phone. Yes Tony was in and out of my room, which is none of your business Booth. It was his house. The remark about the black underwear was, because I just showered and was lying on my bed in my black bra and black panties. Talking with you, when he was checking that we would be late.

Tony in his sick humor thought he could get a rise out of me. Before you ask, yes he has seen me naked. More than once I'll admit that to you."

The look on Booth's face was unreadable, but his body said mean, and mad.

"You had sex with this man, and ran around naked in front of him."

"Booth you are making no sense, grow up when two people have sex they usually are in the nude, what your point. I told you we had sex before, at that time we were naked but we did not run around. What else is up your ass Booth?"

"Why did you do it?"

"Do what Booth! I explained it to you for a week before I went to New York. I had meetings with those people about a position. The day before the trip you were confused, and mad about the trip even then. You did not listen then and you are not listing now.

You know what Booth, you are up-set and mad, I'm tired and mad, lets talk with Sweets in the morning.

Or you can pack up and get out of my life."

Booth and Bones said no more and went to their separate rooms


Round one is a draw, Bones is vague about the trip, and Booth only hears what he wants. Can you tell what happens Iin New York on the trip?
