Summary: Just a way for Bones and Booth to get together, might be a bit of Booth/Cam, don't get scared away, I said a bit. Grr I really suck at summaries just read it, please
Rating: T this chapter , M soon.
Disclaimer: Sick of trying to come up with creative ways to say I don't own Bones, so I'll just say, I don't own Bones.
Authors Note: I know you all probably really hate me because I haven't updated in like 3 weeks, which is the same amount of time the Tigers were in the playoffs coincidence? I think not. I know that during the hiatus is when I should be writing the most to tide you all over, but watching baseball has taken up too much time. So I am still kind of depressed that the Tigers lost the WS so this chapter might reflect that a little. I am glad that many of you are enjoying this story, I got a little writer's block with this chapter, I know the end I just have to get there.
I Don't Wanna Think About You
Booth woke up slowly his mind groggy from all the alcohol he consumed; he rolled over in his bed and bumped into another person. He squinted his eyes trying to focus on who it was, he couldn't remember sleeping with anyone. Slowly Cams face came into view, and the memories came back to him, calling Cam over well aware of what would happen. He crept out of bed quietly careful not to wake her as he made his way to the bathroom for a shower.

Angela pulled her little VW Beetle into her parking space not surprised to see that Brennan's car was already in it's spot. She had a great sleep last night, which was odd, because when they worked on cases with children she usually never slept. So she was in a great mood when she bounced into the lab and made her way towards Zack and Hodgins who were currently arguing.
"Dr. Brennan has made it clear they are just partners, besides what could he have said?" asked Zack.
"It has to be something he said" said Hodgins, "No one else could have made her like that, besides I talked to Jerry who said he let him in to see Dr. B around 10 last night." He explained.
"Who's Jerry?" said Angela startling Hodgins who turned around and looked at her.
"He's the night guard at the front desk, but of course you wouldn't know him because you're always out of here by eight." Said Hodgins with a slight smirk.
"Oh, well what the hell are you two talking about?" asked Angela their previous conversation still made no sense to her.
"See for yourself" said Zack as he gestured towards Brennan's office, "I don't think she went home last night."
Angela now suddenly worried walked towards Brennan's office, and tapped on the door lightly before entering. Her heart suddenly sunk as she took in the sight of Brennan in front of her lying on her couch, eyes red and puffy from crying, looking awful.
"Bren, sweetie, its Angela." She said softly her voice full of caring. She shut the door behind her lightly and knelt beside the couch, and stroked her best friend's hair. "What's going on, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Angela" said Brennan unconvincingly as she tried to sit up.
"Really, because you don't look fine." Said Angela trying to lighten the mood a little, shifting back into a serious tone she said. "You know I'm your best friend, and you can tell me anything right?"
Brennan silently nodded, as she turned to look into her best friends eyes, "Oh, Angela what has happened to me?" she said running her hand down her face, massaging her eyes lightly
"What happened?" asked Angela hoping that she wouldn't close her out now. "Does this have anything to do with Booth coming here around 10 last night?" asked Angela silently hoping that he was the 'he' Hodgins and Zack were referring to earlier, she had forgotten to ask.
"How did you know?" asked Brennan slightly startled, no one had been at the lab last night.
"Jerry" answered Angela simply
"How do you know Jerry? You're always gone by eight." Asked Brennan.
"Why does everyone assume that I don't know Jerry, but anyway stop trying to avoid the question. It doesn't matter how I know, the point is I know." Said Angela as she moved to sit next to her.
"Angela, I think I messed everything up, things were going great before… then I had to go and…" Brennan really didn't want to tell Angela what happened the other night, she knew she'd have a field day with that news.
"Sweetie, you can tell me," said Angela placing her hand gently on Brennan's thigh.
"BoothandIslepttogether" she said quickly and quietly.
"What?" Angela thought that she heard what Brennan said, but it couldn't be true. She had to have said something else.
"We slept together Angela, Had sex" Yelled Brennan so loud that it caused Angela to look around and make sure no one heard.
"I know what sleeping together means," said Angela lowering her voice slightly. "But, wow, that's a big step, I didn't even know anything was going on between you."
"There isn't anything going on Angela, it's never going to happen again, it was a mistake and I told him so." Explained Brennan and felt sick to her stomach at the thought of his face when she said she didn't love him.
"Honey, you didn't" said Angela and Brennan just nodded "How could you, you know how much that man cares about you, why would you do this to yourself?" Asked Angela confused on why Brennan would let a man like that go, I mean if she had a man like him she'd hold on so tight nothing would be able to take him away. Brennan just sat there staring at her hands, Angela sighed "Okay, just start from the beginning and tell me the whole story."
"Well It all started when he saw me in that outfit that you picked out…" Started Brennan.

Booth dried his hair with the towel as he walked from the bathroom to his bedroom. He opened the door of his bedroom and bumped right into Cam.
"Good morning Handsome, where were you? I woke up and you were gone." Said Cam as she continued to stand in front of him blocking his way.
"I took a shower," said Booth bluntly.
"Why didn't you wake me up? We could have taken one together." Said Cam as she ran her fingers over his chest and pulled on his undershirt lightly.
"Not now Cam, We really have to go to work, this is the second time in a row I am going to be late, and so are you." he said pushing her off of him gently, with an almost disgusted look on his face but she didn't seem to notice.
"Oh, shit," said Cam as she ran a hand through her hair and looked at the clock. "Do you mind if I use your shower?" asked Cam hopefully.
"Sure" he said "but I'll probably be gone when you get out, so lock the door when you leave. The spare key is on the hook by the door." He told her as he continued into his bedroom.

"… then he asked me if I loved him." Said Brennan finishing up retelling the past two day's events to Angela.
"What did you say?" said Angela who hadn't said a word the whole time Brennan was talking. She was in shock, how could she have not seen this, after all she is supposed to be the relationship psychic.
"What was I supposed to say Ange?" she groaned " I told him that I didn't love him."
"You did what? Sweetie, are you trying to kill the man?" said Angela this was getting more and more unbelievable by the second. "You know that he---" she started.
"Ange, can we not talk about what I did to him, trust me I saw it." Said Brennan holding her head in her hands.
"Okay..." said Angela slowly "Well, what do you feel about him?" she thought she knew the answer but she wanted to make sure before she pursued things further.
"I don't know, I think I might love… well I don't know, but it doesn't matter how I feel because things have to end. I can't look at him in anything other than a professional way." She tried to push all thoughts out of her head and focus on the resolve that she built up when she left his apartment the other day.
"I hate to break it to you, but you had sex, its never going to be 'just professional' again." Said Angela trying desperately to break down the barrier that she could practically see being built up behind her eyes.
"Well, I am going to have to try" her voice had much more confidence in it than it had a moment ago. "Thanks for the talk Ange, I needed it." She said as she got up, her resolve set firmly back into place.
"Anytime" said Angela; this really wasn't how she had expected the conversation to end. At least she knew though that somewhere deep down in Temperance Brennan she loves Seely Booth.
"Wow I really do look like hell." She said as she looked in her office mirror and pulled at the bags under her eyes. "I am going to go take a quick shower in the decontamination room, cover for me okay."
"Sure" said Angela as she watched Brennan leave the room, silently pondering how Brennan could use that shower so often, she only used it once and it was hell.

Booth's mood hadn't lifted a bit all day, it was now 4pm and he knew he was going to have to visit the Jeffersonian. He had been avoiding it all day, well more appropriately her. It wasn't like she was making some big effort to talk to him though, the only message was short and to the point. There was new information on the case, not even a how are you doing Booth, how does it feel now that I've ripped your heart out and used it as target practice.
He had been avoiding it long enough, he wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't go there and find out what new info she had. So he used all of his strength to pull himself out of his office and into his car to head down the oh so familiar route to the Jeffersonian.
"Hey" said Booth politely to the guard as he entered the building. He walked down the hall, turning left then right and then left again, a path he now had walked so many times that he was sure his footprints were engrained in the floor.
"So what's the big news?" he said trying but failing to sound perfectly normal, as he swiped his card and walked up the steps. To his delight Brennan was nowhere to be found so Angela answered.
"Well, Hodgins might have a lead on the place where they were murdered." Said Angela eyeing him suspiciously, I understand why he's so sad but why does he seem almost guilty? She thought.
"Hey Seely" said Cam wrapping her arms around his neck, as he slightly pushed her off. " You have a really nice shower, much better than the one at your old place. Oh, here's your key" she said as she tossed him the key.
"C-Cam" Booth stuttered, and looked at her horrified. Angela just stared at Booth in bewilderment.
"What? Was it a secret, oops sorry." She said only half meaning it, she wanted to parade around the fact that she had Booth and Brennan didn't. She knew it was stupid but it was one thing she had that Brennan didn't.
Booth didn't even hear her apology; his eyes were on the person whose back was disappearing down the hall. He got up and took off after her. After a couple seconds he caught up with her, and she turned around so quickly that he almost bumped into her.
"I'm glad that you could get over me so easily, I mean wow, one day, no half a day." She said trying to control her anger; she had no right to be angry.
"Bones, I... let me…" he started.
"No you don't have to, I mean really, I am happy for you, you and Cam make a good couple, you make sense." She said, and she was right I mean he and Cam were perfect for each other.
Booth felt his anger rise, man could she push his buttons. "You know what your right, we do make sense. I wasn't thinking about going out with her again but you know now that you mention it." He said almost yelling.
"Well, good go right ahead, just make sure that this doesn't effect our work," she yelled back.
"Oh, trust me I won't, I mean we don't want ANYTHING to interfere with your precious work." He said his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Good," she said as she turned on her heel and stormed down the hallway, and he went the other way. Neither one taking even a small glance back.

I know y'all are probably sick of the angst but trust me it will be worth it. I have the end already all planned out, like I said before. Let me take a moment to praise the writers of Bones (wait wasn't I just yelling at them?) but The Girl With The Curl was amazing, it made up for me being mad at them for the past couple of episodes. I mean that was better that Two Bodies In The Lab which is saying something right there. The preview for next week also looked amazing, I mean was I the only one that heard her call Booth baby, I almost choked on the water I was drinking. I don't think I can wait a whole week, at least I have fanfiction to tide me over. What would I do with out you guys? Love you all so much, review if the mood strikes you, you know how much I love it. Kisses all around
