Hey everyone, thanks so much for the great reviews! They make my day! Here's the 3rd chapter, I hope it doesnt dissapoint!!
When they arrived at the diner, Booth finally relaxed, now that they were nowhere near the squints, and his life wasn't in danger from Brennan's driving, he could focus on trying to get his imagination under control while still acting relatively normal. As they got out of the car and Bones handed Booth the keys, her phone rang, as she went to answer in, Booth couldn't help but notice the perfect space that formed between her breasts as she bent over her purse.
"Brennan" She answered, and he chuckled, he couldn't remember her ever answering the phone any other way.
"Really? Good job!" Brennan exclaimed.
"The name?" she inquired, after a short pause.
"And the sex?" Brennan asked and Booth jumped about a mile high. Brennan gave him a questioning look before continuing with her phone conversation.
"And the age? Great, I'll confirm when I get back, great work Zack!" As Brennan hung up the phone, Booth practically ran into the diner. As Temperance followed him in, she shot him an annoyed glance.
"What is with you today Booth?"
"Nothing... So who was that on the phone?" Booth answered, a little too quickly, in an attempt to change the subject. Brennan could see what he was doing, but thankfully she dropped it, which he found surprising, it was so unlike her!
"Zack just identified his first world war one victim"
"Oh well whoop di doo." Booth responded in a supposed to be playful tone, but came out like he was mad.
"Booth, seriously, what is with you today?" Brennan once again inquired as the server came over to take their order.
"Nothing, just tired, drop it Bones!" Although he knew she wouldn't. Just as she was about to complain about how she tells him everything, "Us against the World" started playing in the diner. Forgetting what she was about to say, Brennan sighed.
"This is my favourite song" She told him, lost in thought.
"I know" He replied. She gave him a surprised look.
Realizing his mistake He said "I have to go to the bathroom" rather suddenly, as he got up he almost ran into the waiter delivering someone's food. "Sorry" he mumbled under his breath before running out. Back at the table, lost in thought, Brennan got a strange look in her eyes. Even she wasn't that oblivious to human emotions. Was Booth really feeling what she thought he was, and about her none the less?
Getting a little freaked out, she pulled out her phone and dialled Angela's number. She picked up on the 4th ring. Brennan could hear muffled giggling in the background.
"Hello?" Angela said in a little too happy a tone.
"Ange, it's me" Temperance answered, worry in her voice, but apparently Angela was to... preoccupied to detect it.
"Oh, hi sweetie, how's it going? Jack, stop that! I'm on the phone!"
"Angela!"
"One sec. Hodgie, not right now, I'm on the phone!"
Getting annoyed, Temperance yelled into the phone "Booth likes me!" Sure enough, just like Temp had predicted, that shut both Angela and the entire diner up. Her face turning red, she waited for Angela's response.
"Seriously honey? Because you're not the best at reading people, no offence, but then again, he was acting weird today, and he has been looking at you an awful lot lately... and he keeps humming this song under his breath, its atchilly a little creepy... and really girly..."
"Angela! Focus!"
"Right, sorry sweetie!"
"So, what should I do?" Brennan asked, panic rising in her voice.
"Well first calm down, then I'd tap his nice little piece of real estate before he's sold to someone else!" Angela advised, her smile showing through in her voice.
"I don't know what that means" Bones replied.
"Ugg! Sometimes I forget you need subtitles to human talk. Ok, first of all think about what he means to you, and how you feel about him. Don't make any rash decisions, and don't kiss him before talking to me!"
"Oh, crap he's coming; I'll call you later Angela"
As Brennan hung up the phone, Booth reached the table, looking slightly sick.
"Geez Booth. You look like decomposed flesh!" Brennan exclaimed
"I'll assume that's your way of telling me I look sick? Well I'm fine, just hungry. Where's our food?"
"It's coming, just be patient Booth!" With her last sentence, Brennan got an idea about how to test her theory. She reached over and rested her hand on his arm. He jumped at her touch and nearly fell out of his chair.
Oh, she was almost definite that he had feelings for her. He had never reacted that way until after they had kissed under mistletoe. not that she minded that, she had atchilly liked it, but she was amazed at how hard it was for him to hide his emotions. She had already been feeling those same feelings towards him, but she just assumed he didn't feel the same way, and even if he did, she didn't want to risk her friendship with him. This was not good, not good at all. Or was it? As she watched Booth fiddle in his chair, she couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to kiss him again, and to maybe do more...
There it is, I hope you liked it! I was a little nervous about this chapter, so please tell me what you thought! I should have the 4th chapted up this weekend, then I'll be away from mon-wed, but I'll try my best to post right when I get home!!
