A/N: Okay, so some of you don't like what's going on between Cam and Hodgins; but everything should get better in this chapter! Oh and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
An awkward silence filled the house and everybody quietly occupied themselves after hearing Cam and Hodgins' fight. After a couple of minutes loud music started playing from upstairs.
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
Yeah
You might need time to think it over
But I'm just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind
If you give me the chance
I will never make you cry c'mon let's try
Am I crazy for wanting you?
Maybe do you think you could want me too?
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do?
I just wanna know that you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I won't let another minute go to waste
I want you and your soul
I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
Ooooooo
Beautiful Soul, yeah
Oooooo, yeah
Your beautiful soul
Yeah
"That is so coming from Hodgins' room," Angela said.
"Awkward music choice," Booth said.
He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2 A.M. and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
He respects my space
And never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing
And I'm comfortable
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2 A.M. and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breakin' down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
He can't see the smile I'm faking
And my heart's not breaking
Cause I'm not feeling anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating intoxicating
Complicated, got away by some mistake and now
I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
It's 2 A.M. and I'm cursing your name
I'm so in love that I acted insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kinda rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
Never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you
"Totally Cam," Bones said.
"Daddy, what's wrong with Cam and Dr. Jack?" Parker asked.
"They just had a small fight," Sweets said and Booth glared at him.
Cam lay cuddling her penguin with tears streaming down her cheeks. "I blew it," she whispered.
Hodgins stood at the window looking out at the setting sun. His eyes flicked over to the bunny sitting on the bed. "I was supposed to protect and take care of her but now I can't even do that," he muttered. "She's my boss and I love her, but I just completely blew my chance with her."
Cam wiped her tears away and stood up. She walked over to Hodgins' door and knocked quietly.
"If it's Booth, Angela, Brennan, or Sweets go away," Hodgins said without opening the door.
"And if it's me?" Cam asked quietly. He walked over to the door and upon opening it Hodgins found Cam with fresh tear tracks on her face.
"Oh my god, I am so sorry," Hodgins said wrapping her in a hug.
"Please don't take the entire blame, it was my fault too," Cam said softly burying her head in Hodgins' chest.
"Baby, please don't ever cry over something stupid I said," he said looking into her eyes.
"I promise," she replied. "Look at me I'm a mess!"
"I've seen worse, way worse," he offered up smiling.
"Well doesn't that just make me feel wonderful, I'm just going to take a nice hot bath and then whatever," Cam said.
"You're not hungry?" Hodgins asked.
"Not really," she replied detaching from their embrace.
"Neither am I, they're all listening so I'll tell them to order out or just go get dinner somewhere," he said walking down the hallway.
Cam sighed contently and walked into her room. She walked over to the bathroom and turned on the hot water to fill the whirlpool tub. Cam reached for the bottle of vanilla and cinnamon scented bubble bath and poured some into the tub. She sunk into the hot water until it reached her neck and sighed.
Downstairs Hodgins was walking into the kitchen and found everyone staring at him. "What?" he asked.
"Nothing, it just got really quiet a few minutes ago, so we were worried Cam had killed you after you and her got in that little shouting match," Angela said.
"If you guys want dinner, there's diner in town with great pie," Hodgins suggested.
"What about you and Cam?" Bones asked.
"Not hungry," Hodgins replied.
"Great pie, not really crappy pie?" Booth asked.
"Really great apple pie," Hodgins said.
"Bones, come on, please can we go?" Booth asked.
"Fine, we'll go out to eat," Sweets said highly annoyed at the pair.
"Parker grab your coat we're going out to eat while Hodgins and Cam stay here," Angela called.
"Okay," Parker said and ran to get his coat.
"Here are the car keys, have a great time, and if you want me, I will be in my room watching TV," Hodgins said grabbing a soda out of the fridge.
"See you later," Sweets said and Booth grabbed the car keys.
The five walked out into the garage and pulled away. Hodgins ran up the stairs to his room, but before he could even get through the door Cam yelled for him.
"HODGINS, there is a giant spider on the bathroom mirror, come and kill it with something!" Cam yelled.
"A spider are you serious?" he asked walking into her room.
"Would I be asking you if I wasn't serious, now just kill the damn thing!" she screamed and he walked in the bathroom.
" Ooh it smells like cinnamon and wow that's a big spider, can I use one of your shoes?" Hodgins asked.
"No, you can use this," Cam replied throwing him a bottle of shampoo.
"Thank you," he replied and smashed the spider. "You really don't want this back now do you?"
"If you wash it off I'll take it back," she replied with a grin and he quickly rinsed it off in the sink.
"Here, and by the way I really do like the smell of that bubble bath," Hodgins said and with a wink he walked out of the bathroom closing the door behind him.
"How am I supposed to relax when you say things like that?" Cam yelled after him.
"You can take it anyway you want to," he called from her bedroom.
Cam stepped out of the tub fifteen minutes later and dried off. She quickly dressed in a short-sleeved brown button-up silk top, long brown silk pants, white fluffy robe, and a pair of pink fluffy slippers. Cam had her hair in two braided pigtails.
Hodgins lie in his bed watching TV and heard Cam walk down the hallway. "There's popsicles in the freezer," he called.
"Thank you," she replied, walking down the stairs. She walked into the kitchen to the freezer and opened it, just as Booth and the others walked in from the garage. The group stopped when they saw Cam's feet behind the fridge's door.
"What, is it that awkward walking into the kitchen to see your boss in her pajamas getting a Popsicle?" Cam asked looking up from a page in her book.
"Yeah, it's that awkward," Angela, said.
"Okay, well I'm going upstairs to read," Cam replied walking away. She walked up the stairs while reading from her book. As Cam walked to open her door Hodgins walked out of his room.
"Hey, what are you reading, is it one of your dirty, little sex books?" Hodgins asked.
"No, it's actually a book on the Rebecca Caudill list for 2009. The book is called Shug by Jenny Han," Cam replied, turning around with a cherry Popsicle in hand.
"So it's a kid's book," he concluded.
"Yeah basically," she replied walking into her room.
"Well, I'm going to shower and go to bed," he said walking into his room.
Downstairs the group stood in the kitchen. "Well that was unbelievably weird," Bones said.
"At least they're not yelling anymore," Sweets said.
"CAM! There is a HUGE spider on the bathroom mirror, can you come kill it with a shampoo bottle?" Hodgins yelled.
"No, that would be your job, I made it very clear when I had you smash the one on my bathroom mirror an hour ago!" Cam yelled back.
"You spoke too soon," Parker said. "I'm going to get ready for bed," he added.
"Might as well get ready for bed," Sweets said and the group walked up the stairs.
Several hours later Cam woke up to hear her stomach growling. She sighed and grabbed her robe while slipping on her slippers. Cam padded into the hallway and down the backset of stairs. She walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge.
"There's nothing good," Hodgins said flipping on the light over the sink. He was sitting on the counter with his legs crossed.
"Well, I'm starving," Cam, said hopping up onto the counter next to him.
"We can order something, like a pizza," he suggested.
"Where in this forsaken universe are we going to get a pizza at four in the morning?" she asked.
"I know a guy up here who runs a pizza shop and we can order from him," he replied.
"Well can we just have popcorn and a sandwich instead," she suggested.
"You find the popcorn and I'll get the sandwich stuff," Hodgins replied.
"Okay, then we can watch a movie or something?" she asked grabbing a package of popcorn and placing it in the microwave.
"Sure," he replied from inside the fridge.
The pair made the sandwiches and popcorn then placed them on a tray. "Now what?" she asked.
"There's a couch and TV in the basement, we can go down there," he replied and she nodded. They walked down the basement stairs and sat on the couch. Cam grabbed the remote from the coffee table.
"Okay, here's your sandwich," Hodgins said handing her a plate.
"Thanks," Cam said grabbing the plate from him. The two sat eating their sandwiches and flipping TV channels. Cam and Hodgins soon put their plates on the coffee table in front of them. Cam rested her head on Hodgins' chest, while he rubbed circles on the small of her back. She looked up into Hodgins' eyes and saw them full of nothing but love and desire.
"Can we go back upstairs and just watch TV up there?" Cam asked.
"Yeah, we can let's just pick up the stuff we brought down," Hodgins replied picking up the popcorn bowl and Cam grabbed the two plates. The pair ran up the stairs to the kitchen. Hodgins set the bowl on the counter and grabbed the two plates from Cam.
"Come on," he said tugging her up the back set of stairs and she laughed slightly.
Once Cam and Hodgins got to her bedroom door, he looked deep into her eyes and they were dark with lust. Hodgins leant in slowly and met Cam halfway and captured her lips in a slow gentle kiss. Cam melted into his arms and wrapped her arms around Hodgins' neck deepening their kiss. Hodgins traced her bottom lip with his tongue and Cam happily opened her mouth to him. He reached behind them to open the door and the two stumbled in. Hodgins kicked the door shut behind them with a soft but well-heard slam. Cam walked backwards until her knees hit the edge of the bed. She pulled Hodgins on top of her without breaking their searing kiss.
On the floors below Booth, Bones, Angela, and Sweets shot awake with the door slam. Booth looked over at Bones.
"What do you suppose that was about?" he asked, just as their bedroom door shot open.
"As much as I adore you two finally getting together and sharing a bed, I really want to know what's going on with Hodgins and Cam," Angela said walking into the room in her robe and rainbow furry slippers.
"Dude, you wear Spongebob pants to bed?" Booth asked Sweets.
"Shut up," Sweets replied.
"Okay, we're up," Bones said sitting up.
"Great, is Parker still asleep?" Angela asked.
"That boy sleeps like a log until the morning," Booth replied getting out of the bed with Bones.
"Can we get this over with, its like four thirty in the morning," Sweets said ushering everyone out of the room.
"Sorry," Bones muttered as they walked down the hallway to the stairs.
Upstairs Cam had shed her robe and Hodgins had her pinned down to the bed. The two were still kissing fiercely and only broke every few minutes to take a breath before resuming kissing.
Booth, Bones, Angela, and Sweets were standing outside Cam's bedroom door. "You should break down the door," Bones said quietly.
"It hurts my shoulder when I break down the door," Booth replied.
"Why don't we just open the door," Sweets suggested.
"Oh for Pete's sake," Angela said and opened the door. Cam and Hodgins broke apart and looked to the door.
"Are you serious?" Hodgins asked.
"Oh my god, you guys are so, never mind just get out," Cam said and the four closed the door.
"Well, let's never do that again," Booth said.
"I just walked in on my boss making out with my best friend, it's unbelievably awkward," Bones agreed.
"We're not stupid, you need to be farther away," Hodgins said.
"We are all walking away, just shut up," Sweets said.
Hodgins looked down at Cam with a small smile playing at his lips. "Why is it always us?" he asked.
"It better not always be us that the walk in on," Cam said, and kissed Hodgins on the lips.
"We really do need to talk though," he replied.
"Yeah, we do need to talk," she said.
"Where does this put us?" Hodgins asked.
"Hodgins, over these past months I've come to hold you as a deeply trusted friend, and over this past week, I came to the conclusion that I am deeply and madly in love with you," Cam confessed.
"And I have come to love you over these past months as well," Hodgins replied.
"I'm not ashamed to be dating the bug and slime guy, who happens to be a big romantic, lovable, conspiracy theorist," she replied.
"I'm not ashamed to be dating my boss, who happens to be a wank-tard, but is really a big softie," he said.
"So we're together now?" Cam questioned.
"Well, I think Booth and Brennan are in the same boat as us, together but there is still the underlying UST," Hodgins said.
"The moment everyone leaves your house on Monday morning, that can be resolved," she said.
"Yes, that sounds like a wonderful pan," he replied.
