"Sweetie, I know you're in there doing whatever you do to pretend our conversation last night did not happen but I think I have given you enough time to sort through your emotions. Therefore, you and me are going to continue our conversation on what was most certainly bothering you last night. It's Booth's new girlfriend isn't it?" Upon hearing no reply she continued her babbling before coming into full view site and uttering a little, "Oh... Well this is awkward."
Brennan stood frozen, mortification sweeping over her. She steadily avoided Booth`s eyes at all costs. ``Angela! Like I said before, nothing was bothering me I simply lost track of the time.``
Angela allowed her sharp eyes to switch between both figures before slowly crossing her arms in front of her. `` Alright, you two that is enough! Brennan you clearly are having a hard time even interacting with Booth. And well... Booth.`` Angela cocked her head to one side, baffled at his behaviour, `` And you, Booth, you just look plain guilty!``
Suddenly, Booth`s head snapped upwards as his eyes flashed with both annoyance and anger. `` That is enough Angela! You do not know what you are talking about.`` He shot a nervous glance towards his partner`s general direction and felt frustration at the whole situation. ``Look Angela, Bones and I have a crime scene that we need to get to so we would both appreciate it if you let it go.``
Surprise flitted across both women`s faces. Angela`s was one of annoyance at being dismissed so abruptly while Brennan`s was one of irksomeness at being spoken for. Just as Brennan and Booth turned to leave, Angela felt a wave of anger flood their general direction. If anyone asked, she would blame it on her pregnancy hormones.
`` Now wait here you too. A) You cannot just walk out on a pregnant woman and B) It is seriously time for you two to fess up.`` She stood impatiently daring someone to rebut her. `` You two are obviously too cowardly to fess up so I will do it for you. Booth, Brennan here is head over heels in love with you and secretly hates your girlfriend. And Brennan, it doesn`t take a rocket scientist to figure out that although the FBI stud is acting more jerky than studly he has definitely not moved on yet.`` She took a deep breath before closing her argument. ``And finally, you guys really need more therapy or something because the `thing` that you two call partnership is either going to go two ways. A) Happily after into a partnership in every sense of the word. Or B) A bitter call to resign along with a messy surrogate break up.`` With that final statement, Angela turned on her heel and brushed past them towards her office; she needed more crackers and a couple of Tylenol.
Booth and Brennan remained unmoving in her wake for nearly three minutes before they slowly faced one another. ``My loss of independence because of my previous reliance on you,`` Brennan blurted out. She shuffled uncomfortably, ``That was what bothered me last night.``
A wave of emotions still fused within Booth`s mind as his thoughts raced from Hannah`s adoration of him and Brennan`s heart breaking confession. Still under the impression that the next few words that would slip from his mouth were still thoughts, he mumbled, ``You, that is what bothered me.`` He barely registered Brennan`s painful gasp as he continued. ``Angela was right. I haven`t moved on because I can`t stop comparing everyone to the one who I still believe is my soul mate. The woman I love.`` After he finished his mumblings, he turned to face Bone`s now tear filled face. ``I love you.``
Ahh, yes I know it got sappy and a little cliché around the ending of this chapter but bear with me. By the way if you are looking for some stronger angst, check out my new Revelations in the Tears. Thank-you.
