Mumrulz: i'm still not sure where i'm going with this from here but after the last review i couldn't leave the story there. i'm so glad you like it. it means a lot to me :D
so this chapter is just a quick fill in dedicated to mumrulz! for talking me into carrying on. Enjoy.
When you know: Chapter 11
The car door slammed is a smack that echoed through the underground car park followed quickly by the sound of someone running in heels.
Angela slipped slightly as she dashed through the hallways leading to the lab. She wanted to get into work earlier than usual. she was two hours early but she knew her best friend would already be behind her desk and she was bubbling over with questions for the anthropologist.
she dashed through the sliding doors and headed straight for Temperance Brennans office.
taking a quick breath she began to push the door open.
"Ange!" the voice echoed through the empty lab and caused Angela to almost jump out of her skin. she turned, looking for the owner of the voice.
"sweety? where are you?"
"in the Lounge area, i thought we could talk up here for a change. I made you coffee!"
Angela laughed as she started to climb the stairs towards her friend. "how did you know i'd come in early?" she reached the top of the stairs just intime to recieve 'that look' from her best friend.
"ok so that was a dumb question huh"
Angela sat down across from Brennan and took up her mug of hot coffee.
"so, tell the tail"
half an hour later Brennan had told Angela a quick story of her date with Booth. just as she had guessed, her friend had squealed and clapped when the dance in the park was mentioned.
Temperance ended the tail by showing Angela the card from the flower vase. after reading the card, the artist jumped up out of her seat and threw her arms around the doctor.
"Finally!"
Brennan pulled back slightly, keeping her hands on Angelas shoulders. "what do you mean?"
"Sweety, you may not have noticed it but both you and Booth have been flirting like crazy for so long. I mean the guy stuffed a gun down a gang leaders throat because he put a hit out on you. scared the guy into calling it off... y'know... or else!"
"what? he never told me that!"
"that's because he knows not to. he knows that if he told you you'd have given him the third degree on how you can take care of yourself!"
"I can take care of myself!" Brennan retorted "I can't believe he did something that dangerous to keep me safe."
Angela sighed. "think about it sweety. think about everything he's ever done for you"
after a few seconds thought, Brennan smiled and Angela was sure she caught sight of a slight blush.
As Angela hugged her best friend again, the sliding doors to the lab opened and the voices of Hodgins and Zack sounded quietly. They were discussing which beetles would perform better in a race.
"Honey" Angela gave her a quick squeeze "I have to go tell Hodgins!"
"No ange. i don't want my private life all over the Lab."
"It won't be doc' but Hodgins is my guy and i just gotta tell someone, plus he already knows you guys went on a date. He'll keep it to himself."
Brennan gave a dramatic sigh and nodded. this action drew another small squeel from Ange and she ran off to deliver the news.
A/N ok so my last question was if i should continue the story. my next question is: should i evelate the fluff to a little smut? i know people are enjoying the fluffy flirting and i don't want to ruin it for any of you by turning this into an M rated story.
