Chapter 1 - Squinty hobbies
While walking with Booth to the platform in the Jeffersonian Medico-Legal Lab, Tempe suddenly stopped on her tracks.
"Bones, what's wrong?"
"Shhhh, listen to them!"
Booth also stopped and recognized Angela's voice.
"Well, Zack, seems like you're losing your bet today, ah?"
"Yes, dude, you owe me $100." Hodgins spoke.
"Hey, wait until the end of the day! The bet's deadline is at midnight."
Hodgins laughed at that.
"And what exactly makes you think that Dr. Brennan and Booth will kiss until the end of the day?"
Hearing that, Brennan choked on her coffee. Booth himself very surprised patted her on the back and shushed her.
Angela, again, spoke, and they could hear the disappointment in her voice.
"Yeah, as much as I'd like that, I don't think you're gonna get lucky, Zack."
"Ah, look who's talking! Come on, Angela, you lost 6 months ago! Seems like I'm the one who's going to win."
"Look, I just thought that the summer, you know, with all the heat, and the water, would make them get it on…I mean, they have so much sexual tension that you can almost cut it with a knife. But you're right, Hodgins, Zack is going to lose too, today is his last day!"
Zack was having a hard time admitting he lost.
"The day hasn't ended yet. And by the way, where are Dr. Brennan and Agent Booth?"
Finally snapping out of their astonishment and embarrassment, Booth, with a mischievous smirk, whispered to Brennan.
"Bones, don't say anything about this, I have a great idea!"
Matching his expression, she replied.
"Ok, but what are you thinking? Because right now, I want payback!"
"Well, it's just a little idea, but I'll tell you when I'm sure about it."
With that, he turned and went to the platform.
"Hey, guys, what's up?"
"Booth! How long were you guys there?"
"We just arrived, Angela. So, do you have any progress in the case? Do you have an ID yet? Zack?"
"Hm, yes, Dr. Brennan, we do. I already put the file in your office."
"Good."
"Oh!" Angela suddenly shouted "I almost forgot!" With that, she hugged Booth, and then Brennan.
"Ange, what the hell are you doing?" Booth asked.
"I'm sorry, sweetie, I'm congratulating you."
"For what, for God's sake?"
"Booth, I can't believe it! You two forgot about it!"
"About what, Angela?" Brennan was getting more and more irritated.
"Well, today, it's your anniversary!"
"What?!" they both exclaimed.
"Yeah, today is exactly the fourth anniversary of your partnership!"
With that, Brennan blushed and turned to Booth.
"Oh my God, Booth! I'm sorry, I totally forgot about it."
"That's ok", he said sheepishly, "I forgot too."
Angela butted in.
"Well, you two should go out and celebrate. You know, get really drunk, and party all day and night…"
"Angela, shut. up! Please! We're just partners. Nothing will happen between us. Booth, let's go, we have work to do."
"Yeah! We're just partners." Booth agreed but didn't sound as sure as Brennan. He then turned to her.
"Your office?"
"Sure, let's go."
With a wide grin, Angela said one last time.
"And make sure you don't work too hard. Or, if you do, don't waist your energy on real work!"
With a roll of their eyes, the partners set out to Brennan's office. On their way, Brennan couldn't wait any longer.
"So, do you have a plan yet?"
Please, R&R!!! I love critics, whether they're good or bad. So, press the little button!
