"Hey Seeley!"
"Yeah."
"Can we go to Lowes today?"
"Why?"
"So we can by paint and re-paint my room?"
"Sure. Let me grab Parker and my keys."
"Ok." And with that we were off to the store. When we got there we headed straight for the paint aisle.
"So, what color do you want?" I bit my lip and looked at all the colors,
"Hmmm, how about…that one."
"That one?"
"Yeah what's wrong of that one?"
"Nothing, nothing. That one's good. I'm just not too crazy about that one." I rolled my eyes,
"Seeley Booth it's blue. What's wrong with blue?"
"Nothing, nothing it's just…isn't that a little bright for you?"
"Seeley it's called neon blue for a reason."
"Well what about that one." He pointed to a dark, and I mean dark, blue,
"Seeley, that one is too dark."
"What about this one?" Parker pointed to a nice baby blue that I actually kind of liked,
"I like it. What about you Seel?"
"Yeah, I like it."
"Thanks Parker." I gave the boy a hug. We paid, well Booth paid, for the paint and left. "Can we call the squint squad as you call them and see if they want to come help?"
"Sure why not."
"Cool," I smiled and picked up my phone to call Zach.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Zach pov~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"YOU DID WHAT?"
"They kissed! He spent the night with her and they kissed!" Jack was telling Angela about my night with Alex. Angela was actually jumping up and down with joy.
"I can't believe it Zach!"
"Believe what?" Dr. Brenan had just come in the room.
"That Zach actually got a girlfriend."
"Why is that surprising? He's an intelligent young man with a mind like no other."
"Sweetie, it's just that Zach lacks the normal social skills of everyday normal human beings."
"But Zach isn't your normal everyday human being."
"We know, that's the point."
"Well who is she Zach?"
"Alex."
"Alex who?"
"McCoy."
"As in the Alex McCoy that came in with Booth? The one that stole his car and drove it off the side of a bridge?" I looked to Jack who answered for me,
"Yeah…that one."
"Isn't she a little young for you Zach?"
"I am twenty four and she is nineteen. A six years difference. But I hardly find that age should play a role in two people's lives if they are dating." She seemed shocked by my outburst, and frankly, so was I. I didn't expect that to come out of my mouth. Just as she was about to say something my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and smiled,
"Hello?"
"Zach! Hey I have a question for you."
"Ok."
"Are you and the others busy?"
"Not at the present moment."
"Would you and the others like to come help me paint my room? Tell Angie she and Brenan can go shopping with me for furniture afterwards." I relayed the message and Angie answered for all of them,
"Yes! Of course!"
"They said yes."
"Cool, so I'll see you at one?"
"Sure."
"Love you!"
"I love you too." And with that I hung the phone up. I turned a slight shade of red because she said "Love you" and Angie and Jack smiled at me,
"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!" I let out a sigh. It was going to be a long day.
