"What's this" Angela's curiosity kicked in, she snatched the card from the bulletin board Brennan had behind her desk
"Ange, put it back" Brennan said as she tried to get the card back from Angela
Angela managed to read it, while trying to avoid Brennan's hand "Let's see" She dropped the card from her eyes to look at the doctor "Oh my gosh!"
"Angela please I'm working" Brennan got the card back from Angela, but instead of putting it back on the bulletin board she placed it in her purse
"That has to be from who I think it is" Angela sat on the chair in front of Brennan's chair
"I don't know what you are talking about" Brennan opened a folder and pretended to look at something work related
"Oh c'mon, we both know you're acting skills suck"
Brennan made a face as if she was offended "No, they do not"
"It was Booth, he gave you something for Valentine's Day" Angela nodded as if she could answer herself
"Roses" Brennan whispered and directed her eyes back to the folder
"Ahhhh! He is the cutest guy ever, well, after my Hodgie" Angela folded her legs and leaned back on the chair "What do you give to him?"
"Why do you assume I gave him something?"
Angela made her typical 'don't even try to fool me' face. Which surprisingly Brennan recognized "Okay, so I did give him something, though nothing special" She handed her one of the first copies printed of her new book
"Bren, that's so nice of you" She leaned forward to take her best friend's hand "You're doing so much better"
Brennan rolled her eyes and pulled away her hand "Why are you here Angela? Is there a case?"
"No" Angela smiled from ear to ear "But there's party" She pulled something from her pocket; it was a silver card with white letters written all over it
"Another one?" Brennan's shoulders lowered
"Don't say it like it's a bad thing, sweetie its fun. Plus we are required to go"
"I guess so, maybe I can stop for an hour" Brennan took the invitation and placed it in her purse, next to Booth's card
"An hour, Brennan you need to stay more" Angela stood and started to walk to the door "Plus, Booth will pick you up tomorrow at eight!" With that Angela disappeared. Who would've guess she was such good of a runner?
Brennan sighed frustrated in her office.
After an hour or so pretending to focus on work Brennan decided to pick up the phone. She knew the number she was calling as if it was her own
"Booth" Someone answered miles away
"It's me"
"Hey Bones, everything okay" It was amazing how she didn't needed to say her name for him to know it was her. Just so you know, he didn't look at the ID
"Are you going to.." Brennan picked up the invitation to check the name "The annual paleontology ball?"
"No"
"But you are supposed to take me!" Brennan shouted through the device. She heard laughs from the other side, and realized that Booth hadn't agree to take her, it was all Angela's idea
Booth tried to bring his laughs to an end "Bones, does it really sound like something I would be invited to?"
"Well no, but.." He caught her off
"I know you wanted to go with me, but if you are really eager you just needed to ask Bones" Booth said playfully
"You have a really big ego. Did you know that?" Brennan rolled her eyes; she fell kind of embarrassed at the moment.
"I think you mentioned it before" Booth leaned back on his chair and placed his feet up on his desk "So when's the party?"
"Tomorrow" She did the same but without putting the feet over the desk
They talked about several things including if Booth was going to place charges over Mr. Soroyan, he wasn't. If he had a daughter and found out someone was cheating on her he would be pissed too. Even though Booth was not cheating, he made that clear.
"Bones?"
"Mhm" She said as she kept the phone against her shoulder, her hands where occupied typing on the computer
"Can I take you?"
"Where?" More typing
"To the party Bones" He exhaled "The annual geek convention or whatever"
"The annual paleontology ball" She corrected "And yes, I would very much like that"
"Good" Booth was smiling in his office
"Good" Brennan repeated, also with a smile
"Pick you up at seven, call you later Bones"
"Good bye Booth" They both signed off
Brennan got the hair out of her face and stood up, got her purse and started to make her way to the door when someone stopped her
"I told you, he was picking you at seven" Angela was leaning against the door's frame, her arms crossed in front of her chest
"How long have you been listening?" Brennan grabbed her purse
"Long enough honey"
Brennan sighed "Sorry Angela, but I can't talk now" She walked few steps but was stopped again by the artist
"Were are you going so eager?"
Brennan thought a little bit about her answer, she made the most rational decision, asking for help was the best way to go "I need you help Ange" A pasue "Please let's go shopping for a dress to wear at the party"
"I thought you'll never asked!" Angela jumped and clapped, she grabbed her friend's hand and rushed her through the lab
Hope you liked it. Please review...
