CHP. 7

I could not believe I had just done that. He was a sweet guy. I really liked him. But I was 18 and he was like, what, 24? But still, he was cute. I lay their on my bed and blared my music through the house. Booth wasn't home, so I just kept myself busy. Listening to music, watching movies, watching TV, and eating. Life was boring right now. The doorbell rang and so I went to answer it,

"Hello?" It was a little boy with curly hair,

"Is my daddy here?" There was a woman behind him who didn't look too happy to see me,

"You must be Parker, and you must be his mom." She looked at me and glared,

"Yes, and WHO are you?"

"I'm Alex McCoy. I'm staying here for now." Her face changed to an almost sympathetic look.

"Oh, well, I'm just here to drop Parker off. You be good Parker. Miss McCoy-"

"Please call me Alex."

"Alex, please take care of Parker for me."

"I will mam." She left and Parker and I walked into the house.

"So, Parker, what do you want to do?" He looked around and clutched his bear. "Your bear is cute. What's his name?"

"Sully."

"Hi Sully, my name's Alex." I tickled the boy who laughed in response. Hours later, a knock came to the door. I opened it to see Zach.

"Zach? What are you doing here?"

"I thought that you and I could watch reruns of Firefly."

"I've got Parker with me though." He looked deflated and really I didn't want him to go, "But you know you could stay for dinner and watch Robin Hood with us." He smiled and I led him in.

"Is that Macaroni and cheese?"

"I hope you don't mind. Booth hadn't gone shopping and I'm not aloud near a car for a while."

"Oh no. Actually Mac and cheese is my favorite lunch. It has lots of calcium in it and is good for your bones." We talked, more like Zach rambled on about the new Star Trek movie coming out. Then we all hunkered down to watch the movie. Parker lay on the floor in front of the TV and Zach and I on the couch. About 10 minutes into it and he starts spouting off facts about how Robin Hood was created.

"It was based in the late 1600's by a man named-" I had to stop him. I put my finger over his lips and curled up into his chest,

"Zach, it's just a child's movie. We can watch Firefly after this. I promise." And I kept my promise. Once the movie was over I picked the sleeping boy up and carried him into his room and shut the door.

"You'd make a very good mother figure. The way you take care of him and carry him shows a sign of-" He needed to stop talking. Like now. So I kissed him. It was soft and he was shocked. I pulled back and stared at his shocked brown eyes. He didn't say anything so I just kissed him again. I pulled back and smiled at him.

"Come on Dr. Addy, lets watch Firefly." I pulled him to the couch with me and he actually put his arm around me. I laid my head down on his chest and I could hear his heart. It was beating like crazy. I smiled. This was a perfect night.
