This is a random Sweets/OC one shot that I wanted to do because Sweets is soooo cute! I don't own Bones.
Nikki's P.O.V.
Sitting in his office always made me fidget around on the couch. I would play with the hem of my skirt or dress if I was wearing one at the time and others I would draw some small invisible doodles on the thigh of my pants.
Right now I was wearing a dark blue dress that matched my eyes which were currently overflowing with tears. My hair covered most of my face and I stood in front of Sweets' office door. He was definitely still there but I couldn't muster up enough strength to knock on the door.
I held my hand in front of the door and lightly tapped it with a shaky sigh. There was a "Come in" from Sweets as I slowly opened the door. I was able to see enough through my hair to see Sweets turn around and look at me with a horror stricken face. "Oh my God! What happened Nikki? Come here." He held his arms out to me which I gratefully ran into and cried my eyes out. He sat down with me on the couch and placed me in his lap where I laid my head on his chest and listened to his slow and steady heartbeat. His hands moved up and down my back while they would occasionally come up to my auburn hair that went a little ways past my shoulders.
My head was tucked under his chin and eventually the sobs only came out in little gasps. "Wanna talk about it?" He asked as he began to comb his fingers through my hair. "Not really but we probably will eventually so I might as well get it over with. Just promise me…promise me that you won't act like I'm a patient. Act like I'm a friend." Or something more… My mind drifted off. I turned from my side onto my stomach so I was pretty much straddling Sweets but he didn't seem to mind that much. I laid my head down on his shoulder and preceded to tell him about what happened.
There was silence until he turned his head slightly to look at me. "He just stood you up?" I nodded and buried my face into his neck. "That's his loss then. You're a beautiful girl who anyone would be lucky to have."
"I don't think so."
He grabbed my head and placed it in front of his face while I looked at him with confusion. "Don't ever say that. Your face and your body are absolutely perfect and your hair is like beautiful red satin. Plus your eyes…your eyes…are like jumping into the ocean and they sparkle whenever you laugh or you smile." Everything he said made a smile begin to form on my face. Then it slowly began to fade as I looked into brown eyes.
Keep in mind that I was still straddling him. My face inched closer to his and my eyes gently fluttered closed while my breathing increased. I could feel his breath on my lips and I was waiting for him to make the call. Change our friendship forever or always stay the same. I thought I knew what he was going to choose but I guess I was wrong.
He placed his lips on mine in a sweet and tender kiss while my arms slid up from their position on his chest to all the way around his shoulders. He wrapped an arm around my waist and the other was gently pushing my head forward. I opened my mouth slightly so he had better access. That's when things got a little…heated. It was like I was the water that stopped him from dehydrating. I was the food that kept him from starving. I was his everything and he was mine.
I pulled my lips back only a centimeter from his and let out a shaky sigh and looked him in the eyes, which were filled with lust. My hands traveled to his tie and began to loosen it little by little. "So…your place or mine?"
