For the next couple of moments they both just sat there under the covers and not saying anything. The silence was broken when, trying to act like this was not an awkward moment, Brennan said.
“Who was on the phone, Booth?”
“I think it was Angela, but she may have already hung up.” He picked up the phone off the bed and handed it to her.
As she looked at the phone she realized that Angela was still on the line. “Angela can I call you back later?”
“Sure.” Angela then she turned to Jack with a smile on her face and gave him the thumbs up signal. “Boy have I got something to tell you, Hodgy.”
Brennan then realized that she had dropped the other phone on the floor. She leaned over the side of the bed to retrieve it and saw that Booth’s shorts were also on the floor next to the bed.
She picked up the phone and handed it to Booth.
Booth spoke into the open line. “Booth”
“Seeley this is Cam. I just wanted to let you know that your mother called me last night when she could not reach you. She wanted to let you know that she was coming to the hotel this morning but it sounds that you already know that now. “
“Thanks Cam for the warning.” Booth said with irony.
“Sorry I could not have reached you earlier. Especially since you and Dr. Brennan are finally in bed together.”
“Cam we were….oh forget it.” Booth closed the phone and noticed Bones bending over the side again. He also noticed how her hair fell on her shoulders, the softness of her skin, the long curve of her back and she’s not wearing anything. As he thought about Bones being naked another thought also occurred which was better than a cold shower. His mother is in the next room.
As Bones picked up Booth’s shorts, she thought about the time when they had gone undercover in the circus and he had thrown his underwear on the floor in their trailer.
“Booth you need to stop throwing your shorts on the floor.” As she handed it to him, Booth noticed something hanging on the lamp behind her.
“Sorry Bones, but then why is your bra hanging from the lamp?” He said with an impish grin.
Before she could respond, Booth asked. “Bones do you want the bathroom first?”
“No you go ahead and get dressed. Your mother is waiting. I’ll get dressed in here.” As she was saying this she grabbed her bra from the lamp and was glancing around for her panties. Brennan started to wonder more about her dream or was it a dream.
As she was talking, Booth quickly slipped on his shorts under the covers and then headed for the bathroom. It was better that Bones thinks he had dropped them on the floor then to wonder how they got there in the first place since he was wearing them when he got into bed last night.
While Booth was in the bathroom getting dressed, Brennan quickly looking for her panties and thank goodness she located them under the covers at the foot of the bed. She did not want to guess how they got there besides she needed to get dressed.
When Booth finished dressing he let Bones know the bathroom was free and to come out and meet his mother when she was ready.
As Booth entered the outer room, he saw his mother pouring coffee. She turned to look at him and asked. “Is your girlfriend coming out to join us?”
“Mom, that’s my partner Dr. Brennan.”
“Oh. Do you two always sleep in the same room?” She said looking at him with raised eyebrows.
Booth thought about the time they were in Las Vegas and were undercover as Roxie and Tony, but then Bones did go play craps that night while he slept. Then there was that time when they were Buck and Wanda but then they slept in their clothes. His mother was still looking at him waiting for an answer when Bones walked into the room.
Booth avoided answering the question by saying.
“Bones, I’d like you to meet my mother, Kathleen Booth. Mom, this is my partner Dr. Temperance Brennan.”
“It is nice to meet you. Please call me Katie.”
“It is a pleasure to finally meet Booth’s mother, please call me Tempy.”
“Oh, so you’re the Tempy that Jared has talked about.”
“What has Jared said?” Brennan asked.
“Mom, what is it you wanted to see me about?” Booth interjected because he saw the look on Brennan’s face. She was going to start asking questions which may not be a good thing right now.
“Seeley, your father and I are quite concerned about what has happened to Jared and would like you to come to the house later to talk about it. You may want to join us, Tempy, as it also concerns you.”
“Mrs. Booth, I ………“
Booth interrupted saying “We’ll be there around 11:00.”
“OK I’ll see you both then, but now I have to get back home.”
As Booth’s mother left the room, Brennan turned to Booth and started asking questions one right after another without giving any time for Booth to answer.
“Booth do you have any idea what Jared may have said about me? Why did you not tell me your mother wanted to see me as well? What is it that you are not telling me? What happened last night? Why were you in my bed?”
“Whoa one question at a time, Bones. But first let’s have breakfast.” Booth said needing time to think about answering these questions especially the last two.
