I woke up in his bed to know that Booth had carried me there last night. I took his hand and entwined our fingers and brought them to my mouth. I kissed his fingers lightly and then I turned over so we were facing each other.
"Morning," I said against his lips as I felt him smile on my lips.
"Morning gorgeous."
I smiled as he rolled us over so he was hovering over me. He leaned down and began kissing my neck which drove me crazy with pleasure.
"I have to go to...to work." I said in gasps.
"Your right." He dropped to the side and propped himself up on his elbow smiling at me.
"You're so beautiful," he said causing a smile to appear on my face. I brought my hand up to his cheek and placed a sweet, soft kiss on his lips before getting up. He followed and chased me into the bathroom both of us laughing. We showered together.
I changed into the pair of clothes I brought as he got dressed as well.
We
arrived at the lab.
"The bet, tell me about the bet," I
asked Angela.
"Oh no, they found out," Hodgins said.
"Yeah, you got that right. Now tell us about it," Booth said.
"Okay, after we worked that first case together, we all bet on you later on. I bet that it would take you two years and Dr. B would make the first move," Hodgins said.
"I got involved as son as I worked my first face with you and I bet it would take you another year and a half and Booth would make the first move," said Cam.
"I said that it would take three and Booth would be the first one," we both looked at Zach.
"And I bet it would take you four years and Bren would make the first move," Angela said, "One thing wrong!"
"I can't believe this," I said.
"Me either."
I began walking away and Booth followed.
"Honey, Im sorry."
"You bet on us Angela, you bet money on us. You got the deputy director of the FBI involved. This is humiliating." I went into my office and Booth shut the door behind him. He sat on the couch and I lay down and rested my head on his lap. He rubbed my hair.
"I can't believe they bet on us."
"I know, I can't either."
"I dont have any real big cause to be angry but I am angry. While I was struggling with the feelings I thought were love but I denied, they were betting on us."
"You...were struggling with feelings for me?"
"Well...I would be lying if I said that I wasn't suppressing any feelings. The first case we worked together I could feel the sexual tension already and I was strangely attracted you. I wanted you more than any other man I ever met and that confused me because you were so stubborn and arrogant and mean to me and the lab. It drove me crazy."
"Hey, you weren't exactly nice either but...im glad we stuck together and it worked out."
"Me too." He kissed my hand and then came a knock on the door and Angela, Hodgins, Cam and Zach walked in.
"Sweetie, we just wanted to say that were sorry for betting on you two."
"Its okay Angela, I overreacted, its just...its kind of embarrassing. It makes me feel less of a person as impossible as that is because I am a genius but somehow I missed that I had intense feelings for Booth but somehow you guys knew? I didn't just start loving Booth either. About three years ago, I began experiencing odd feelings that I never felt before and I was confused and had no idea what to do and you guys were pressuring me to ask Booth out and I...was messed up. So Im sorry."
"Aw sweetie that's so cute!"
"That is!" Zach, Cam and Hodgins said.
"Yeah, that was adorable. You liked me for three years?" Booth asked big grin on his face.
"Not like your ego needs this but yes, you were irresistible and impossible to get out of my head."
"Well that's good...cause you never left my mind Bones."
The team let out a big 'awe' and Booth and I turned to stare.
"Right! Guys, we have...work to do." Cam said.
"Oh, yeah...right, let's go." They all left.
"Now where were we?" he asked.
I kissed him.
"Right. That would be where," he said grinning. Before we had time to go any further than just placing simple kisses on each other, Booth pulled back.
"Its almost 3."
"Oh, yeah, uh, Ill see you later?"
"Yeah…hey Bones?"
"Yes?"
"I was wondering if you…if you could you know come to the funeral with me."
"Sure, if you want me to be there, ill be there."
"I do, it would mean a lot."
"Then Ill go."
"Thanks Bones."
"Not a problem Booth."
