Fearless
Authors' note: Thank you for all your lovely reviews. I'm on holidays right now, so I have a lot of time on my hands, I'm trying to update as much as possible before I go back to school and get swamped with assignments. So....yeah.
Chapter Eight: Airport
The next 12 days went by fairly quick. Although I missed Skye, work kept me occupied enough. Angela seemed to be more excited about picking Skye up at the airport then I was. Hodgins came to, I'm not sure why, I think Angela may have forced him to. I could tell this was going to be awkward, three people going to pick Skye up from the airport, only one of them she actually knew.
We all stood at the gate Skye was meant to come out of. Angela was practically bouncing where she stood. After watching a few people come out, it was finally Skye's turn. She was pulling a large suitcase behind her. She looked around until she saw me, then she walked at a faster pace towards me.
"Hey, Zack." Skye said as she approached me, she hugged me.
"Hi, I'm Angela." Angela held her hand out to Skye.
"Skye." Skye introduced herself.
"This is Jack." Angela pulled Hodgins in front of her. "We are Zack's friends."
"Hi." Skye said to Hodgins.
"Hello." Hodgins replied.
"Let's go." I suggested.
After a short ride where Skye had a short conversation with Hodgins about cars and willingly answered every question Angela asked her. We arrived at Skye's apartment building. I took her suitcase as all four of us went up to apartment C-105. Skye unlocked the door. There was nothing there but a box.
"There's nothing here." I pointed out, even though I was sure that everyone had already noticed.
"There is a box, a fridge and there's a bed in the other room. The rest of my stuff is getting sent up during this week." Skye said.
"Do you have a job yet?" Angela asked Skye.
"No, I'm handing resumes around tomorrow." Skye said.
"Well, Hodgins and I have to go." Angela told us.
"Are you coming, Zack?" Hodgins asked me. I didn't want to. I looked over at Skye.
"You can stay here a while if you want." She told me.
"Yeah, I'll stay. I can get a cab home." I told Hodgins and Angela. Angela grinned.
"Alright. Zack, I'll see you at work tomorrow. Bye Skye. It was great meeting you." Angela said as she and Hodgins walked out the door.
"Bye." Hodgins said.
"Bye." I said.
"It was nice meeting you to." Skye said. Then Hodgins and Angela were gone. Skye turned towards me. "I like your friends."
"I missed you more than I should of." I told her.
"I missed you more than I thought I could." She said as she stood on her toes and kissed me.
"Do you have to go back to court at all?" I asked her.
"No." She said. "That's over now."
"Did it work out like you wanted it to?"
"Yes." Skye said.
"When are you going to tell me what it's about?" I asked.
"One day." Skye said "When I feel more comfortable talking about it. But for now, I don't want to think about it. I'm living in a new city, it's a new start. I don't want to ruin it by dwelling on what happened in the old one."
"Okay." I said. I didn't want to upset her, but I wanted to know what had upset her so much that she would move away. Then there was silence, neither of us knew what to say.
"I'm tired." Skye finally said.
"Do you want me to leave?" I asked her.
"No, no. I was just trying to break the silence."
"It worked." I told her.
"I started reading that book your boss wrote." Skye told me "Do you really do that kind of thing?"
"Yes." I said.
"That is awesome." She said.
"You don't think it's gross?" I was confused, the rest of my family thought I was weird.
"No, it's great, you help catch murderers and identify people's bodies, even when they are only bone. It's really...impressive." She explained. I smiled.
"Most people think I'm a freak." I told her.
"I'm not most people." Skye said.
"I know. Maybe that's why I like you so much." I speculated.
"Maybe."
We talked for another couple of hours, and then I got a cab back home. I'm pretty sure I had never like anyone as much as I liked her right now.
A/N: I know this chapter was pretty crappy. But I'll make it up to you...hopefully. Thanks for reading. Please review.
