"It's been very nice to meet you, I've heard great things" Goodman states. "Follow me I will introduce you to the team."
Coughing to get every ones attention, "Everyone, please gather, I have someone to introduce to you." continuing with his speech, "As you know, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Jeffersonian Institute have teamed up in a joint effort…"
Interrupted by Dr. Hodgins; "uh sir, you think we should wait until the good doctor gets off the phone?" Motioning over his shoulder
"Dr. Brennan" motioning for her to come forward, Goodman also motioned for the team to come together.
Hanging up the phone she walks over to her group, looking up she stops suddenly, "Doctors Appointment, rescheduled" Words leave her as her gaze locks with the man in front of her. "I am so sorry…"
Goodman was getting ready to make the necessary introductions, "As I was saying the Federal Bureau…"
His words fall on deaf ears. They are shocked to see each other. They never expected.
"Seeley" she whispered, unsure of her own voice. Cautiously taking a small step towards the man she thought she would never see again.
"Tempe" taking a step forward, shock as well as happiness written all over his face, "Is that really you"
Three Months Earlier
"Oh I am so sorry", she looks up, stunned, as she just spilled her drink on him. "I ah, ya, um…I got it all over your shirt" Wiping her hand on his broad chest trying to dry the shirt off.
He can't help but smile at the lovely woman who all but dropped in his lap, "Not a problem" looking down at his new shirt, shrugging, "It's an old shirt anyways."
"You have to at least let me get it dry cleaned for you." Her eyes gleaming in laughter
"How about I buy you a drink and we will talk about it," he motions for her to sit.
Glancing around nervously she bits the side of her lip.
"Come on, I don't bite, and plus, you might enjoy the company." Motioning for a waitress to come over, he looks back down at her face, "Please, plus you did spill a drink on me"
"Okay, but I'm buying you the drink" sitting at the closest table, she looks to see if he follows. He does.
Four Hours Later
"You have got to be kidding, she did what" He is amazed over the story.
Stumbling over her words she lifts her glass, "No I am serious about my friend plus, it was her idea I go on this trip" laughing she takes a large gulp of her fruity drink.
"So, tell me what it is that you do"
Shaking her head, "Nope, no work talk" Standing up she leans against the table, extending a hand, "Come, walk with me"
Looking at the extended hand he reaches up and grasps it, "Ah, you may have to hold me up though, not too sure if I can walk" laughing he stumbles into a standing position.
Not too sure if she herself can stand she pulls herself up next to him, "How about we help each other"
Stumbling out of the Cantina, they find their way to the beach.
As they walk along she can't help but stumble in the sand.
"Hold on a sec" holding on to his arm, she leans down and unclasps the heeled sandals, "ahhh that is sooo much better" wiggling her feet in the sand she grabs the straps stumbles into an upright position.
As they walk along hand in hand he looks down at her in the moonlight,
"Wow, look at that, isn't it beautiful" Looking out at the moon, splaying a light over the waves, she feels his arm come around her.
Standing in front of her he wraps his arms around her, looking down at her upturned face, "It sure is"
They both knew he wasn't talking about the moon or the water
So should I continue? Is it worth it? Please let me know. Reviews feed me. lol. I have attempted two other stories but not too many reviews vs readers. Thus I took that as a sign to not continue them.
