AN: Ahh, another favorite, this time from Queen. I love that y'all love this fic 'cause I'm a fan myself. I broke my rule and posted this early, just cause I love ya! Enjoy…
Chapter 10 You're my best friend.
Temperance smiled as she held Booth's hand, no matter what else I have, I still want Booth. Still coming to terms with her own revelation she relaxed slightly and listened to the music.
Whatever this world can give to me
It's you, you're all I see
Ooh, you make me live now honey
Ooh, you make me live
Booth squeezed her hand gently, coaxing a smile from the anthropologist.
"They're right, you know. You are my best friend, Bones."
Oh, you're the best friend
That I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
"I know, Booth. And you're my best friend," almost as a second thought Temperance added, "but don't tell Angela." The agent laughed, almost loudly enough to drown out the next verse.
You're my sunshine
And I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
ooh, oh, you're my best friend
"You've got some great music here, Bones." She frowned, thoughtful for a moment.
"I don't own most of it, I guess it was Angela the last time she came over. I didn't even notice what she downloaded."
In rain or shine
You've stood by me girl
I'm happy at home (happy at home)
You're my best friend
Suddenly the truth of the situation dawned on Booth and he hit his left hand hard on the steering wheel.
"Angela! Jeeze, why didn't I figure this out before?" Temperance looked genuinely baffled at his outburst.
"What? I don't understand. Booth?"
"Angela," he answered, shaking his head, "told me how she puts her MP3 player on shuffle when's she's driving long distances to keep herself entertained." Temperance's eyes widened considerably. "Angela insisted that she and Hodgins and Zack leave early for South Carolina to secure the scene since we had paperwork to finish."
"And Angela," finished Temperance, "filled my iPod with music that I don't know, music for us to hear." Booth nodded again, aware of how much he needed to thank Angela. Instead he said,
"We'll get back at her Bones, let's just play it cool during this case, tell her you slept the entire trip down. Okay?"
"I don't know what that means, 'play it cool?'"
"It means we're not letting Angela have the satisfaction of knowing her little plan worked. Not yet anyway."
"Did it work?" Booth stole a sideways glance at his anthropologist.
You're my only one
And I love the thing
I really love the things that you do
Oh, you're my best friend
Oh, ooh, you make me live
"Yeah, Bones, it worked. You know you can't resist me." Temperance returned his cocky smile.
"The charm smile has never worked on me, Booth, it won't now."
"We'll see about that and-" Booth was cut off by another dynamic duo.
They say we're young and we don't know
won't find out until we grow.
END Chapter
AN: I hope this one is painfully obvious to every reader. If anything I want y'all to remember some great old songs, classic baby. If not then 'screw you guys, I'm going home!' Two points for the first person to identify the show and character who made that quote famous (see, I'm branching out). Now, I'm really taking a break for the weekend. Really… unless I get inspired tonight…
