A/N: Wow guys I haven't updated in a while! Sorry about that! It's been hectic. I've been busy recording some demos to send to record labels and stuff like that (yes I sing haha). And you know school can be brutal. So anyway, here's the next chapter! Kinda short…
Chapter 7: 6AM
Around 6:00 AM the next morning, Brennan's cell phone began to ring obnoxiously on the night table beside the bed. Booth groaned and tried to ignore the annoying chiming in hopes that maybe the person would hang up soon. He was silently cursing the fact that the owner of the cell phone lying next to him in the bed was sound asleep and he was the one being woken up. He would've woken her up to enjoy her incredibly disruptive phone with him if it didn't mean risking his well being but heck he was willing to take that chance. Just as he was about to wake her up, the ringing finally stopped. He smiled victoriously as if he'd won some sort of battle with Brennan's cell phone and turned over on his side facing Brennan and didn't understand how she had remained sleeping through all that noise. Not even two minutes after the first ring, the cell phone began to ring again. Booth now extremely frustrated reached for the phone and answered it,
"Hello?"
Angela Montenegro nearly fell off her chair at the sound of his voice, "Booth?"
"Angela?" Booth was regretting picking up that phone big time.
Angela was grinning from ear to ear now, "What are you doing with Brennan at this hour?
"She got snowed in at my place okay? Now why are you calling at this ridiculous time to call someone? You know we are sleeping. Or were."
Brennan leaned into Booth, "Who's that?" she asked groggily.
"We?" Angela asked mischievously. "You two are in the same bed aren't you? So it finally happened."
"Angela! We did not sleep with each other." He said getting slightly annoyed.
"Defensive are we?" Angela instigated, "I never said anything about sex, but hey, I'm all ears."
Booth rolled his eyes, "You know what Angela…"
"Mmhmm. Well we have work today."
"I don't get it. You call to tell us we have work but no one said anything when we didn't."
"Yeah well, wasn't my idea. I just hate to break up you and Brennan."
Booth sighed, "Goodbye Angela."
Before Angela could answer, Booth hung up the phone.
"That was Angela." Booth stated.
"I know." Brennan responded enjoying all the room she had in the bed when Booth had gotten out of bed, "What are you doing?"
"To take a shower."
"It's only 6:00 Booth."
"We have work."
She nodded, "I heard, but that doesn't explain why you are taking a shower at 6:00."
"Well I was planning on taking you over to your place so you could get ready there. But if you'd prefer me not be so nice, I'll stay right here."
"Oh. Um thanks. That's…very nice of you." She replied with a nod.
"Yeah don't mention it. Hey, is Angela always like that?"
"Like what?"
"Well…you know."
"No I don't actually."
Booth waved his hand, "Ah forget it."
"What did she do?"
He walked toward the doorway, "I'll explain in the car."
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
"So we're in the car." Brennan stated.
Booth looked over at her and then back at the road, "Yeah I noticed."
"I'm not just generally informing you about the current situation Booth."
"Then what are you doing?"
She shrugged, "Didn't you say something about telling me what Angela did in the car?"
"Oh. Right."
"What did she say?"
"Is she always like that?"
Brennan sighed, "You asked me that before and I don't know what that means."
"You know…"
"Again Booth, I don't."
He looked over at her, "Well is her mind always in the gutter?"
"Not all the time."
"But most of the time. Immediately she thinks we slept with each other."
"Well that's logical to believe." Brennan replied, "We were in the same bed. Most would be inclined to believe the same."
"Yeah well we didn't."
"We know that but the rest of the world, including Angela doesn't." Brennan rested her elbow on the window and looked at the winter wonderland whizzing them by, "Did you tell Rebecca the 'who' yesterday?"
Booth looked over at her a little longer this time before looking back at the road. He didn't say anything for a moment unsure of what to say. He was going to talk her about this today. He had to.
"Well I uh…no."
She continued to gaze out the window, "Well you should tell her soon."
"Yeah I know." He sighed, "Today."
About 10 minutes later than they would normally arrive at Brennan's apartment, Booth parked his car and they both began to make their way toward the building.
"God, did they even bother to plow this lot?" Booth commented as they walked through the slush.
Brennan hopped over a large pile of slush, "Apparently not."
"Hey Bones?" Booth asked hesitantly slipping his hands into his pockets.
Brennan looked over at him at his tone, "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing, nothing. Just could we talk later?"
"Now's good."
Booth smiled, "So later it is."
Brennan rolled her eyes, "What makes later to appealing to you?"
"Ya know, is there ever a time you just say 'sure Booth, that sounds good?'"
She shook her head, "No."
Booth threw his keys up in the air and caught them, "That's what I thought."
