I hear a knock and turn just as the door opens.

"Angela I told you- oh, hi Payton." I glare.

"Hacker said that I could find you here" She speaks, looking down at papers before her, "I need you to sign off on your…" She looks up and slightly smiles, "oh, is that Doctor Brennan."

"Yes it is. Now if you would please excuse us…" I drop a tie in the box and stand, trying to prevent her from advancing.

"All I need is one little signature…" She looks up at me dripping with seduction, "and if you needed anything…" She trails her hand down my shirt, smearing the blood all the way down to my belt.

I jerk back and stager up against the chair.

"No, Payton. Whatever you want it is NOT going to happen. Especially in front of my girlfriend. Now please… that paper?"

"Girl… friend?" She stumbles over my words.

"Oh she is much more than that." I look behind me and smile.

Her eyes dart between the shell of a woman on the bed and me. The fury in her eyes begins to intensify as her mind slowly deciphers my words.

"But she… I…" She stammers, clenching the papers and shaking them violently.

"She what? Is beautiful, smart, compassionate… everything I could want and more?" I pull the paper from her hands, "And you? Well you never had a chance, Payton." I pull a Jeffersonian pen out of my pocket and sign them, placing them back in her hands.

She expels a hard breath then looks down at the signed papers in her hands.

"Well… I am sure Cullen will love to hear about this little… arrangement."She shears as she opens the door slightly.

"I am sure he will. It has been years. He even sent us to couple's counseling. I am sure he will be very, very happy his best FBI agent is finally happy." I snicker as she slams the door in my face.

"Sorry about that Bones, now where were we?" I sit back down and caressing her hand slowly, "Oh yeah… my socks current hue." I pull up my pant leg to show neon pink and orange socks.

"I am not sure if you remember this but a few weeks ago you made a comment that you loved the colour orange on me and well… I only wear these for you."

The door opens once more and I let out a groan. How am I supposed to convince her to wake up if I keep getting interrupted?
