A: N/ Sorry this took so long…I got caught up in a new book and the days just flew bye! Well here it is anyway…. (Drum roll please!) the new chapter! Enjoy! (Oh! And please don't forget to review…I love to hear what you think!!)
"Booth? Can you get that?" I called to him in the kitchen, from my bedroom.
I heard the fridge door close, and his steady foot steps pad across my living room carpet.
We had just arrived at my apartment, coming from Booth's house. It had taken longer than expected, what with sudden halts in the preparations to leave his house. Lots of sudden halts.
But I had insisted on changing my clothes, putting something fresh on for our lunch at the diner. So he had finally clamed himself down long enough to drive us to my apartment.
Until we got in my door, then he was like a teenager again. Kissing my neck on the threshold of the apartment, and holding my waist as he stood behind me. While I looked for something to wear in the closet, he pressed against my back. I laughed easily every time he kissed my neck, causing shivers to run through my body and his.
Three days ago, I had been afraid to touch his arm, lest I fell something to strong to deal with. But now, I missed his warmth when he apologized and left to get a bottle of water from the kitchen.
I finally selected a simple summer dress, and as I slipped into it, I asked Booth again to answer the ringing cell phone. "Kay, Bones. Take a chill, I'm on my way." He replied smoothly, walking into the bedroom. He reached for my phone on the nightstand, and calmly answered. "Brennan's cell phone. May I ask whose calling?"
Booth's face went ashen. He lowered the cell phone from his ear, and absent-mindedly handed it to me.
"What's wrong Seeley? Who is it?" I whispered quickly, covering the phones speaker with my palm.
"I can't believe it. Now. This has to happen now?" Booth questioned himself.
"What's wrong?" I whispered again, this time an edge of annoyance in my voice. I had rarely ever seen him act like this, and that was only when Rebecca would revoke his weekend with Parker.
"Umm, hello? Is anyone there? Booth? You still there buddy?" a small voice called out, muffled, from my phone. Unsurely I removed my palm from the speaker, and with one final glance at Booth, I spoke.
"Dr. Brennan," I said, using my interrogation voice.
"Hey, Tempe. How have you been? It's me Tim." I gasped.
"Tim. Tim as in, Timothy Sullivan?" I choked out, barely able to contain the shock in my voice.
"The one and only, Tempe. It's good to hear your voice again. I've missed you, you know." He told me calmly. He clearly had no idea that Booth and I were together, other than Booth answering my phone, which does not happen often.
I looked up, and saw that Booth's face wore a mask of pain and anxiety. He's waiting for what you're gonna say next, I thought nervously. Both men are, I told myself as I stared hard into Booth's eyes.
He tried to smile, but a grimace similar to pain went across his face.
"Sully," I said dully into the receiver "I think there's something I should tell you." I started to say that Booth and I were together, but he cut me off.
"Me too, Tempe. I miss you. I love you and I wanna come back home. I wanna make sweet love to you all night long, because I love you and miss you so much that my heart hurts." He told me passionately, but I didn't have the time to respond because Booth reached out aggressively and grabbed the phone from me.
"Okay, Sullivan. There's something you should know. Bones and I are together, got that? And there is no way in Hell that I am letting you come home and make sweet love to her. That's my privilege and your just gonna have to deal with that." Booth tore the phone from his ear and punched the end call button, harder than necessary.
Tossing the phone from his hand onto the soft mattress of my bed, he turned his back to me and began pacing the room. I tried to find some sort of aggravation at him, some sort of annoyance at his alpha-male tendencies, but I couldn't find any of those feelings.
Instead I only wanted him to hold me, forever.
So I stood in shock. I had two men who wanted nothing more than to be with me. But I only wanted the one.
"Booth," I whispered cautiously.
"Yea Bones?" He asked, stopping dead in his pace, staring at me with an expression of pride and of embarrassment.
"Even though I don't exactly approve of your word usage right there, with Sully," I told him as I slowly walked over and stood in front of him. "I do approve of the meaning."
With that he leaned down and kissed me hungrily and passionately.
Lets just say that there was no way in Hell we were gonna make it to lunch at the diner. Or dinner.
A: N: D Well?? Did you love it? Hate it? Want more of it? Is it your brand of heroin? (Sorry I'm in a Twi-hard phase currently: D) I didn't even know who was gonna be on the other end of the phone till Booth picked up. Then Sully's voice filled my head. I hope you enjoyed it: D Please review…and don't worry I will be writing a sequel but there is plenty more to milk out of this one yet: D Review!
