Part 10: Doesn't sit right

"Hey, it's me. Did you get to school ?" Cam asked while she watched Hodgins brushing the snow off his car and cursing under his breath.

"Yes, sure, we just arrived. Why?" Michelle asked.

"Because we're snowed in here," Cam replied and looked around. Snow was covering the sidewalk and the street, ice underneath. The cars were all covered with snow and driving in the climate would be a really high risk.

"Really? Damn, why didn't I spent the night at home? At Paris' place the gravel caster arrived before we got up, so it was fine."

"No, Hodgins is trying to dig up the car as we speak, but even if he succeeds there's no way we'll be able to reach the ring road," she spoke louder when she said the last part so Hodgins would hear. He looked up, glared at her and then went back to scraping the front window free.

"You think it'll be cleared after school?" Michelle asked.

"I don't know. But maybe you should just take the bus to Jack's place. You have your key with you?" Cam advised.

"Yeah, but Paris and I have that talk tomorrow and we wanted to work some more on that. You think Dr. H would mind if I invite her over to his place?" she wanted to know.

"I'm sure he won't mind," Cam replied.

"I don't mind what?" Hodgins asked from the car.

"That Michelle goes over to your place after school and brings a friend," Cam told him and covered the phone with her hand.

"Nah, I don't mind. There's still pizza in the freezer if they' re hungry," he replied.

"You heard that?" Cam asked Michelle and took her hand from the microphone.

"Yup. Listen I have to go, lesson starts. I see you tonight?"

"If we're not stuck here, then yes we'll go to Jack's place after work."

"Ok, then see you later," Michelle said and hung up.

"Yeah, see you later," Cam said to the phone and shook her head at Michelle's quick end to the call.

"She hung up on you?" Hodgins asked when he saw the look on her face.

"Said the lesson would start," she nodded.

"Still fifteen minutes until the bell rings. Perry arrived," he smiled knowingly at her after he had checked his watch.

"I actually think you're right," she replied with a smile and stopped pacing on the sidewalk.

"You're done?" she wanted to know.

"No, the damn ice is not getting of my windshield," he replied frustrated.

"Ok, then you stay here and argue with the 'damn ice' while I go upstairs and warm up my frozen feet," she replied.

"I told you not to wear heels when it's that cold," he supplied the absolutely wrong answer.

"They're Manolo Blahnik's, one can wear them anytime," she argued back.

"Obviously not with snow on the ground and ice on the streets," he rolled his eyes. Cam just glared at him, shocked at his ignorance, then turned around and made her way back into the house.

Fifteen minutes later Jack Hodgins finally followed her inside, because when he thought rationally about it he had to admit that it made no sense to free the car of ice and snow when it was impossible to drive because the roads were slippery and covered with snow.

"Cam?" he asked when he walked into the, expected to find her in the living-room. He found it empty though. "Cam?"

"Bathroom," he heard the muffled reply and took off his shoes before walking further into the house. When he neared the door he heard that she was talking to someone, obviously on the phone, and wrinkled his forehead. He opened the bathroom door and found her lying in the bathtub, her phone pressed to her ear, foam shielding her body from his eyes.

"No, I don't think so," she laughed. "No, Seeley, even your super car won't help us much when the roads are that slippery. We just have to wait until they dig us out," she went on.

Hodgins waved with his hands, asking her without words what she was doing in the bathtub, but she just shrugged and went on talking to Booth. She was talking to Booth while she was lying naked in the bathtub, something about that picture didn't sit right with him. He put his hands on his hips and looked at her disapprovingly, but she just put a "What?" expression on her face before she ignored him and laughed and joked with Booth on the phone. A pissed off expression on his face he unbuttoned his shirt, stepped out of his jeans, got rid of the rest of his clothing and stepped into the large tub. Cam only raised her eyebrows in surprise but didn't say anything- to him that was.

"No, I think we'll be in later when they cleared the streets. We'll try again in an hour or so. I honestly can't afford to stay away the whole day, I've got so much work," was the last thing she could say to Booth because Hodgins took the phone out of her hand and ended the call.

"Oops, I guess the phone line crashed because of all that snow," he said and let the phone carefully drop on the bathroom floor.

"Hodgins!" she cried and wanted to start her lecture when he leaned forward and kissed her deeply, with tongue and everything, she just forgot what she wanted to say.

"You are not talking to the FBI guy while you're sitting naked in the tub," he told her and used the same method to shut her up again.

"This is the only freebie card you have. If you do that again there'll be consequences," she threatened when she had created some space by placing a hand on his chest and pushing him off of her.

"No talking to Booth while you're not dressed," he repeated insistently and she decided to let him have this one. After all, what he was doing with his hand under the water and his lips and tongue and....no more talking to Booth while undressed.
