The Woman in the Kitchen Chapter 8
A/N Ok, I decided to stick with the first version of Saja that I wrote. She's supposed to be a little un-centered, but I HOPE you'll start to like her in the next couple of chapters. I decided that this story will keep going for a while. I hope that you guys will like it too though!! ((BTW I'm bringing Vegas and the newest ep into the picture too!! I'm writing this on vacation, well, while I'm sitting in a car anyways.))
Just so you all know, introducing her was the hardest part!!
On with the story:
Two Weeks Later:
Saja had been working at the Jeffersonian for two weeks now, and everybody had realized that she was pretty normal. She was slightly un-centered, and liked to tell people things that they'd never use in real life, but she was normal.
Zach had liked her more and more each day. This was the first woman he had ever really liked, a lot, could maybe love... but that would be in the future.
Temperance had found that this girl was a lot like her, but Tempe was still smarter and she knew more about fighting. She even liked her, after the first few days, that is.
Hodgins had liked her from the start. He had laughed at Booth for what Saja had said about him liking Brennan.
Booth had just decided she was really kinda ok, after Booth got over the shock of what she had said on the first day that is.
Angela found something out on the second week, that she was shocked to hear:
"You like clubbing?!"
"Yes," Saja replied. "It's good exercise, and it's really fun."
"Yeah, but you? I thought you were like Dr. Brennan, you know, tough and smart, but not so into dancing and clubbing," Angela was still wide eyed.
"Well, I am tough I suppose, and I am smart apparently, but I love dancing, and clubbing."
Angela thought for a second, leaving Saja to feel a little embarrassed "Is that odd for me to like dancing and clubbing?" Saja asked.
"No, well yes, but it's ok. I've got to go talk to Brennan for a second," Angela said, turning away.
"Oh, all right," Saja went over to the examining platform and swiped her security card.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Did you know Dr. Kesuan likes dancing?" Angela asked as she walked into Tempe's office.
"That doesn't surprise me Angela. She's a healthy young woman, and she's allowed to be able to dance," Bren didn't want to take her eyes off her computer. She was talking to David like she usually did on Monday's. Catching up with him, after he had moved to Boston she only saw him once in a while. "David says hi."
"Tell David hi for me," Angela shook her head. "What I was going to say is I think we should all go clubbing for fun this weekend. I think it'd be fun," really, Angela just wanted to see what Zach would do around Saja in a non-work environment, and hang out with her friends on the weekend for once, instead of just at work. They hadn't spent a lot of time together other than work in a while.
"I don't know Angela, you remember what happened last time," Tempe said, looking up from her screen.
"I was there Brennan, but you know better now. Please?" Angela gave her a slight puppy dog eyes. Then she walked over to the computer and took hold of the keyboard.
"Angela! What are you doing?" Temperance said as Angela began typing.
Angela didn't respond.
She had typed:
Hey David, this is Angela, do you think I should take Brennan and some friends clubbing this weekend?
She hit enter and the message sent.
"What are you doing Angela! I don't need a former boyfriend to tell me if I should go clubbing with my friends or not!" Tempe argued.
"I just want to know his opinion," Ange said.
"I already know what he'll say; he'll ask if Booth is going to be there."
"There's a message back," Angela said, she read the message.
Is Booth going to be there too?
"Are you psychic or something?" Angela asked, looking at her friend strangely, then she decided to lie.
"I'm not psychic Angela, I just know David, he was always jealous of Booth."
Angela didn't respond again, she was too busy typing, and lying.
No, he won't be there David. Don't you think that she needs a girl's night out once in a while? It's just going to be me, Brennan, Cam our new boss, and a new girl, Saja.
Angela sent the message and sat back and waited for a response, not saying a word.
"Will it just be us girls?" Tempe asked.
Sure, just make sure that the same thing as last time doesn't happen, you know, the fight and then the body.
David ended the sentence with a little smiley face.
I'll take care of her don't worry. Bye bye now, I have to give the keyboard back to Brennan.
"There, it's all set. You're coming with us."
Tempe really didn't want to come. "Do I have to?" she asked simply.
"Yes you have to Bren! I'll make sure you're there too. I'm going to see Cam and Saj to set it up," Temperance thought it was funny that Angela had already given Dr. Kesuan a nickname.
"Fine, I'll come, as long as I get to choose what I'm wearing, not you," Tempe said, sighing.
"All right, I've gotta go back to work or Cam'll fire me," Angela walked to the door. "Saturday, 6:30 p.m. be at my apartment ok?"
"All right," Tempe said, already back to talking intently with David.
XXXXXXXXXX
Saturday Night: 6:30 p.m.:
Tempe knocked on Angela's door. She knew better than to not come. She awaited Angela's opening the door, but instead she heard a come in. Tempe opened the door and walked into the apartment. Saja and Cam were there already.
Cam had on a black skirt and a dark green halter top with dark green pumps. Her hair was sitting around her shoulders and she was sitting cross-legged on a chair.
Angela's hair was pulled back a tasseled a little, but it was still really curly. She had on a red dress that came just above her knees and was slit up the side about 4 inch's (Random tip for all you who don't know 4 inch's is about 9 cm's. okie dokie? I get confused with that sometimes so I though it'd be easier just to tell you), and red stilettos.
Saja didn't look very impressed and Brennan guessed it was because Angela had probably chosen her outfit. Saja had on a black skirt, that came half way up her thighs, and a lighter blue long sleeved shirt that sat around her shoulders instead of coming up on top of them, it had little spaghetti straps going up so the shirt would stay on and it showed off some of her flat stomach and quite a bit of cleavage. She didn't have pumps or stilettos or any type of high heel. She had on cute little shoes that had a little one and a half inch heel so she didn't hurt her feet while dancing, not like she could really dance with this on.
"Angela, can I please change my skirt?" Saja begged once more. "It really is too short. I don't want to look like I'm free for anybody to come and have sex with me."
"You don't look like that! If you do, then I do and Cam does," Angela argued.
"No, Angela, you have the figure for it, I don't, please?" Saja tried this argument.
"Saj, you have to wear this, for me. Please?" Angela countered.
"Fine," Saja crossed her arms, slightly angrily. This was the most revealing thing that she had worn to a club. Truth was, as much as she had fun at them, she was scared of them. She didn't want to wear anything like this because of Date Rape drug or something.
Tempe felt a little bit stupid for a second because she didn't dress up. She was wearing a tightish black tank top and hipster blue jeans with black boots.
"Hey Brennan!" Angela smiled at her best friend.
"Hi Ange, am I not dressed up enough?" Tempe asked.
"Not really, but we can fix that. You don't really match completely anyways... well you do, but Saj wants to change. What size are you again?"
"I'm a six," Temperance told her friend.
"Good, Saja is a six too. You two, trade. Tempe, you can wear the skirt and Saja you can wear the jeans."
"Why should I wear something that I feel uncomfortable in?" Temperance argued.
"It's ok Angela," Saja said, and she got up carefully, "I don't need Dr. Brennan's clothes. I have my own that I can wear."
"You brought clothes?"
"Well, yes," Saja said and she went over to her backpack and pulled out a plastic bag and then she went into the bathroom.
"Who brings clothes if you're having your clothes supplied?" Angela asked, shocked.
"Somebody who knows you really well," Cam said, shrugging. "I brought my own shirt," Cam told her, Angela knew that shewas talking about the shirt she had tried to get on Cam earlier.
It had been a little black tube top that was too small and made Cam look like she had a breast job.
Saja came out a few minutes later. She was wearing the blue top still, and a pair of kinda tight black hipster jeans that were a little bit long and looked as though she walked on the heels a lot. But they were jet black and she looked really pretty and thin with them on.
"That looks good too," Angela smiled.
"Thank you," Saja said, and she blushed a little. She had worn these pants so many times, actually, she had worn them to her graduation. She still looked good at grad, though.
"Are we going yet or what ladies?" Cam asked.
"One second," Angela was looking at Brennan, a little glint in her eyes.
"What Ange? Why are you looking at me like that?" Tempe asked, she didn't like the way Ange was looking at her.
"Can I choose a different shirt for you, please?" Angela asked, Tempe knew that if she said no, Angela would put the shirt on her for her.
"All right," Temperance said, looking down at her shirt.
"Ok, I have the perfect shirt too!" Angela ran into her bedroom and came back out a few moments later. she had a shirt, it was a black tube top, with two little clear elsatic straps.
"You want me to wear that?" Temperance asked, shocked.
"Yup," Angela was having fun playing dress up with all the other people here today.
"All... all right," Tempe took the shirt and went and put it on. She came out of the washroom and everybody gasped. Temperance looked beautiful. Her red hair sat perfectly strait around her shoulders, something she rarely did, and the shirt just sat on her perfectly.
"You look stunning Dr. Brennan," Saja said, she was the first of the four women there to speak.
"Thank you Dr. Kesuan," Brennan said, and then she went over and grabbed her black jean jacket and pulled it on.
"Ooo Booth is gonna love you Bren!" Angela exclaimed, giggling a little.
"You said it was going to be just us girls!" Tempe said wide eyed to Angela.
"I know, I lied," Angela smiled. "Sorry sweetie, but I wanted you to realize that everybody thinks you should come with us."
"Well I'm going to come now," Temperance said, "But I don't have to be happy about it."
"You do whatever you like Brennan," Angela said, smiling at her friend, she then opened the door and watched her friends file out of the apartment and into the hallway. She locked the door behind her, "Let's go," she smiled and led the women down the hall and out of the apartment.
