Chapter Ten || Like the Back of my Hand
He rushed into Bone's office, face pale as he sat down in front of her desk. "What's wrong?" She asked leaning forward towards him and he sighed.
"Cam's sister kissed me! She just laid one on me when we were waiting on Cam!" They hadn't left on his "date" yet with Cam. He had consulted Bones about it as soon as Cam approached him and he had been surprised when she was okay with him pretending to be her boyfriend for a family function.
Once the kiss happened he had pretty much bolted into the office and hadn't seen either Saroyan since. "She kissed me! I didn't want her to do so. I didn't kiss her back either. Promise."
Once again in his surprise she laughed and shook her head. "I am not surprised that an attractive woman kissed an attractive man, however if she knew you were dating Cam I don't understand why she would do that. That doesn't seem okay." She said with the adorable confused look on her face and he shook his head before letting out a slow breath.
"I should probably go shouldn't I?" He asked looking out the glass doors to Cam and Felicia walking towards the office. "Yeah I should go. I'll call you." Booth stated as he walked towards the doors before turning to her once again. "See you soon, Bones."
That sat in his darkened office at the FBI paper cups laying everywhere as he made fun of her sudden inability to smash them with her fist. "This is your fault, you told me this wasn't going to give me a headache in the morning."
He chuckled and sent her his charming smile. "It's not the morning yet, Bones." He teased as he pushed the bottle to the side for a moment. "Thank you for being okay with the whole Cam thing. I didn't want to put you in a bad spot with it but she asked."
Shaking her head she toyed with an empty cup. "While I admit it did make me a little uncomfortable knowing you were going out with another woman, I understand why she wanted you to go with her and why you agreed." She smiled slightly. "I guess it comes with the territory of being in a clandestine affair."
Sitting up straighter she bit her lip. "Though with how well this is going, I was wondering if at some point you would want to tell people we're dating? Cam, Angela, of course Hodgins would know the second Angela knows, Zach.." She asked watching as he immediately shot up in his seat and adjusted his loosened tie.
"I don't know Bones, I kind of just want to keep this between us. Not that I'm ashamed of you or anything but I don't know. I just don't want to tell people." He answered and she simply nodded her head unsure of what to say or how to reply. Of course she didn't want to push him to say anything about their relationship but there was something about not saying anything that didn't sit well with her either. Neither of them were very public people for the most part but she still wondered why no one would know they were at least dating.
"So, uh" She stammered. "How did you know my passwords?" Temperance finally asked unsure of where to take the conversation at this point without completely changing the subjects. "My flowers, planets, you know everything." She continued though she already knew the answer. She could answer the same questions about him.
"That's easy, Bones." Booth smiled. "I know you like the back of my hand."
