Hi Guys! Sorry it's taken so long to update this story, I've been busy lately with school and dance rehearsals but anyway, here's chapter 2!

Chapter 2-Good Times

"Hodgins?"

"Angela?"

"You're B-GUY23?" Angela knew this was probably a stupid question but she had to ask, maybe there was still some hope that this was all a coincidence, maybe Hodgins was just here on a date with someone else. She crossed her fingers in hope.

"Yeah..." He replied uncertainly. Angela sighed; guess luck wasn't on her side.

Another minute of awkward silence passed by as Angela contemplated her options.

What should I do? She asked herself. Should I stay, should I leave, does he want to carry through with this date? Everything is just getting back to normal after our break up, this might make things weird. She came to a decision.

"Um, look, Hodgins, I don't think this is such a good idea. I mean, I don't want to jeopardise our friendship..." Angela stood up and gestured to the door, "...so, I'm just gonna go" She started to walk towards the door but was stopped when Hodgins gently grabbed her wrist as she walked past him. She looked into his big blue eyes, the eyes she had loved for so long, the ones she still couldn't help but love.

"Ange..." His tone was soft and pleading, "Please don't leave yet. I mean, I know we both came here, expecting a date with a stranger but why don't we sit and eat dinner, you know, as friends?"

"Friends?" Angela inquired.

"Sure." He reassured.

"Well..." Angela started.

Is this a good idea? He said friends, nothing weird about that, right? Just friends having dinner together, nothing else. What's the worst that can happen? She thought.

"...okay" she agreed.

Hodgins smiled at her and Angela couldn't help but smile back, there was just something about his smile that sent a warmth flooding through her body. They sat down facing each other and the waiter brought over their menus.

45 minutes later...

The sound of laughter erupted through the restaurant as Hodgins and Angela shared yet another funny story from the past. By now they had finished their main course of poached haddock for Angela and Steak for Hodgins and were waiting for dessert.

"So...what's the worst date you've ever been on?" continued Hodgins.

Angela thought for a moment. She had been on a lot of bad dates but which was the worst? One stood out amongst them all.

"Okay. Well...um..." She hesitated.

"Come on, I won't laugh." Hodgins prompted.

"Okay, when I was about 19, I went out with this guy, Steven...I'd liked him for ages and when he eventually asked me out, I was ecstatic. Well, anyway, I spent 3 hours getting ready, I wore this brand new white dress, that went down to the floor and when he picked me up, I saw he was only in jeans and a t-shirt. Turns out we were going to the carnival and I didn't have time to change, so I had to stay in my dress. Cut long story short, we went on the roller coaster but Steven had decided it would be a great idea to eat 3 corn dogs beforehand. About two minutes into the ride, he threw up all over my new dress; I had to wrap a sweater around the stain for the rest of the date. Let's just say it didn't work out between us." She finished.

Hodgins tried his best but he couldn't contain the splutter of laughter that escaped him.

"You promised you wouldn't laugh!" Angela pouted.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it does just...how stupid would that guy have to be to eat 3 corn dogs before going on a roller coaster...seriously!" He continued laughing.

Eventually Angela couldn't help but laugh along, "Yeah, he wasn't the sharpest tool in the box." She added.

"Okay, my turn to ask you something..." she proceeded.

"Go ahead, ask away." Hodgins challenged.

"Okay, what's been the happiest moment of your life?" She questioned.

Hodgins tensed up.

Why did she have to ask that question? He asked himself.

"Um, uh, the happiest moment of my life..." He stammered.

"Come on, spit it out." Angela said impatiently.

"Well...okay, I'll tell you but you have to agree to not let things get awkward..."

Angela nodded and gestured for him to continue.

"The happiest moment of my life was...was when you finally agreed to marry me." Hodgins waited for a response.

Well I wasn't expecting that. Angela thought to herself. She decided to dig deeper.

"Really?" She asked.

"Well, yeah. I mean, I was so in love with you for so long and in that moment you agreed to be with me for...for"

"Forever?" She finished his sentence for him.

"Yeah" He said sadly, after all, that was not how things had turned out.

The pair sat in silence for a while, thinking about the past. They were interrupted when the waiter brought over their dessert. They began to eat in awkward silence.

"Hodgins...what happened between us?" Angela started. She had often thought the situation through in her head, trying to figure out what had gone wrong, they had once been so happy together, so what had changed?

"I don't know... I guess it started when your husband showed up, we started thinking we didn't trust each other and then you left...and I didn't stop you."

"Wow, how can something so great turn bad so quickly?" She asked.

"I don't know. You know, I was really in love you Ange. I've tried again and again to get over you but it seems as though every time I get close to moving on, something happens between us and I realise... I can't. Like when you broke up with Roxy and we ended up in the Egyptology bed or now, when we somehow got matched up through that website, it just makes me wonder whether I'll ever be able to let go when I know I'm still completely and undyingly in love with you Angela." Hodgins finished his heartfelt speech and waited for Angela to say something, anything.

All Angela could do was think about what had just happened.

OMG! OMG! OMG! Did he really just say all that? Does he really still love me? What do I do? Okay, think about this rationally, do I still love him?

She made a list in her head of all the things she loved about him: his humour, his weird obsession with bugs, his ability to make her smile even when she feels terrible, she realised the list went on and on. There was only one conclusion: She was still completely in love with Hodgins.

What should I do? I need to show him how I feel. She thought to herself.

Angela looked deep into Hodgins' blue eyes and knew there was only one thing to do...

She leant over the table and kissed him, a kiss full of unspoken feelings and emotions. When they broke apart, they just smiled at each other.

"I take it you feel the same way." Hodgins stated.

"You know I do." She confirmed and then continued, "So...what now?"

Hodgins thought for a moment before asking, "Do you really want to start the dating process all over again?"

"I don't know...it seems kind of a waste of time." Was Angela's answer.

"Well then, let's pick up where we left off..." Hodgins stood up from the table and got down on one knee. "Angela, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?" He asked.

Angela answered with a kiss.

So what d'ya think? Leave a review and let me know!
