When he woke up, the bed was empty, his was pounding and his side ached terribly. She walked in wearing nothing but a towel, her hair dripping in loose curls. She handed him a bottle of ibuprofen and dropped her towel. He gulped seeing the curves of her body.
She began to get dressed. Then he heard the blow dryer and soon she came out looking like Dr. Saroyan.
“You still work there?” he asked.
“Someone had to. I didn’t have new opportunities like you guys did. Becoming federal forensic pathologist and head of the institute was my new opportunity. I’m not giving it up.” She said walking out.
He sat and wondered what could’ve happened to her besides the fact they had all left. She wasn’t happy he knew that. Her eyes were dull and now that he thought about it, they were dull before they even left.
Before they all left, Cam abruptly cut her hair and began to slim down. Fast. Almost to the point where he thought she was sick and not telling them. Not telling him. There was a point of time where they could talk about anything with each other. He was trying to move on and she was there.
She knocked on his office door. He didn’t know she was still there; it was almost twelve. Her hair was down around her shoulders in soft waves.
“Cam why are you still here?” he asked.
“I should be asking you. I was getting some paperwork and stuff done and lost track of time.” She said.
“I’m just uh looking at dirt.”
Her eyebrow rose.
“Dirt? What’s going on Hodge- Podge?” she asked.
“I’m just not ready yet Cam.” He said.
“For what?” she asked sitting down in front of him.
“To move on. I’m trying but I just cant.” He said.
“From who, Zach or Angela?”
“Both.”
She put her hand on his shoulder.
“I know it’s hard. It’s always hard Hodgins. But snapping at people and running away from it all doesn’t help it only makes it worse. You’ve got to confront these things head on. Not doing that will tear you apart. I know that for a fact. I’ve lost many people in my life including Zack. You have to remember we all lost him. We have to stick together with this and we cant if you keep pulling away.” She said.
“But I lost the love of my life too. It’s too much Cam. You could never understand!” he yelled.
She didn’t flinch or back away; she pulled him into a hug and what he did next surprised him; he began to cry.
“Just let it out. I understand Jack I really do. You needed this talk this hug. I know you don’t like therapists but if you need someone to talk to or you just need someone to be there I’m here for you. Just call my name and I’ll be there.” She sang softly.
He smiled against her neck at the Jackson 5 reference but didn’t lift his head from the crook of her neck. Her perfume was intoxicating. He never noticed it before. It was discreet until you got close. Kinda like her.
She didn’t make any moves to get up and he didn’t want to let go but he did anyway. She pulled back and smiled getting up and walking out of the room.
That was when he realized her soft side. They talked almost every night after that. He found himself calling her when he had problems. He never though they would be that close but they were and then one night it all changed.
His phone rang.
“Hello?”
“Hey Jack Michelle and I are having Game night and were wondering if you wanted to join us?” she asked.
“Sure Cam. I’ll be over there in twenty.”
“Okay see you then.”
“Bye.”
When he got there Cam had on a tight tank and baggy shorts her hair in low pigtails.
“Nice hair Pippi.” He said with a smirk.
“Not even close. Don’t play me like that.” She said laughing and letting him in.
“Hey Jack.”
“Hey Michelle.” He said waving to the teen.
“You’re too uptight Hodge Podge . These clothes will never work with Twister. Follow me.” She said.
“You have clothes that fit me?” he asked.
“Oh please Cam gets half of her wardrobe from the men’s section. I have to convince my friends she isn’t a lesbian.” Michelle said.
“Shut up! They’re really comfortable and besides you weren’t complaining in those sweats last week when Mother Nature kicked in!!” Cam yelled.
“Touché.” Michelle said with a laugh.
He followed Cam to her room. She bent over and opened the bottom drawer of her dresser.
“So, let’s see. Hmmm. T-shirt or wifebeater?”
“T-shirt.”
“Medium or large?” she asked.
“Large.”
She threw it over her shoulder with perfect dead on aim.
“Shorts or pants?”
“Pants.”
She chuckled.
“What’s so funny?”
“That is just so you.” She said.
“And it’s so you to have a drawer full of men’s clothing.”
“That’s where you’re wrong.” She said in a sing song voice.
“What?”
“It’s three drawers. Thank you.” She said with a smirk handing him the pants and walking out.
He grinned as she left. He came downstairs where Michelle was texting and Cam was putting out snacks on the table.
“Oh shoot. Cam? He-he” Michelle chuckled nervously.
“Oh god what did you do?”
“I sorta forgot that I’m supposed to go to the movies with Lindsay and then go to Leia’s.”
“Okay Michelle. Well can you at least control the spinner for Twister? We might as well get that out of the way.” She said.
“Alright left hand red.” Michelle started.
Soon they were a mess of limbs. He couldn’t believe she was that flexible!
“Right foot green.”
A horn beeped outside and Michelle all but flew to the door.
“You ain’t gon help us!!”
“Love you too Bye!” she yelled before the door slammed.
“Okay so to get us out of this mess.” She said to herself.
She twisted and turned causing him to lose his balance and land right on top of her.
“Oof!” she said all the air rushing out of her. She laughed.
“Okay so the bad part about Twister is getting yourself untwisted. Got it.” She said eyes closed laughing.
He was so close to her he could feel her breath on his lips. She had a light dusting of freckles across her nose. She opened her eyes gasping at their proximity.
“Uh Jack are you okay? You’re not hurt are you?” she asked.
“No.” he said.
“Okay then why are we still on the flo-“ she gasped as he ground himself into her.
“Jack.” She whispered.
“Yes?”
“Rebound.”
“No.” and his lips were on hers in seconds. It was like fire. He was ripping her clothes off; she his. Both tongues battling for dominance.
“Jaaaaccckkkkk.” She moaned out.
They were loud not caring if anyone heard. He buried his face in the crook of her neck losing himself in the scent of her. Their lips met again as the finished. They lay together covered in sweat breathing hard.
“Wow that was-“
“Amazing.” She finished.
He kissed her again. It grew heated starting off round two.
They never really established anything after that. They just kept talking to each other. It happened two more times after that and each was mind blowing. But time went on and Angela crept back into his heart and that was the end of it all.
Back to Hodgins.
Not Jack or Hodge-Podge.
She never said anything about it so he figured she didn’t care.
“Are you hungry?”
He snapped out of his reverie.
“You’re here early.”
No cases today so I was able to get on the highway before rush hour. Did you hear what I said?” she asked.
“I can‘t eat.” He said.
She looked at him with compassion.
“I’ll make you a grilled cheese then you can nibble on it.” She said.
She came with said sandwich and gave him half putting the plate on her table. She began to undress and he noticed the scars on her sides and stomach. She noticed him staring and quickly pulled her t-shirt over her head.
“How’d you find out about Angela and Michael?” she said sitting on the edge of the bed.
“Well Michael told his friend he had two dads and I asked Angela about it. She said she didn’t know anything about it. A couple of months later I walk in hearing her screaming Michael. I burst in the room and saw exactly which Michael she was talking about. I was gonna stay for him but she told me he wasn’t mine and DNA proved it.” He said.
“But why? And how?” she said.
“Angela and I didn’t have sex as much as we did the first six months. She met this guy named Michael and fell in love with him. We came back for you but she wanted to go back. Saying it was for the baby but I know the real reason now. All she did was screw around with him. I thought the whole time Michael was my son and he wasn’t! I loved her and she lied! I gave her another chance and she still lied! I loved her Cam.” He yelled.
“I know.” She said sliding into the bed.
“I know and I’m so sorry.” She said softly.
“Cam why do you have all those locks on your door?”
She stiffened.
“So no one gets in.” she said.
“But why would you think someone would?”
“Because it happened before.” She said.
“Is that how you got the scars?”
He was pushing it he knew.
“Jack.” Her voice held a warning tone underneath it.
“No seriously, it’s like paranoia and that saying a lot coming from me.” He said.
“Just leave it alone Jack.” She said.
“Cam.”
“No. Leave it alone!” she snapped.
“Camille.”
“Don’t call me that!”
“Why not?”
“It doesn’t sound right.” She said.
“Booth does it.”
“He also calls Dr. Brennan ‘Bones’, but that doesn’t mean you can.” She said.
“Cam.”
“Thank you.” She said with a smile and roll of her eyes.
She sighed heavily and flipped her hair out of her face turning over. He touched her shoulder and she flinched.
“What happened to you?”
“Well you have been gone three whole years. You cant expect me to be comfortable with you touching me and it wasn’t like we did it all the time before.” She said.
“Cam you weren’t like this yesterday.” He said.
“That’s because I was worried about you. Now that I know you’re okay-.”
“You’re upset.” He finished.
“No, I’m pissed the hell off!”
She sat up.
“You guys just up and left me again! You left me to pick up all the pieces and I realized that even though I considered you all to be my friends it wasn’t vice versa. You didn’t care about me as much I did all of you-.”
“That’s not true Cam we-.”
“Yes it is! If it wasn’t, you all would’ve thought before leaving spontaneously a second time! After all we’ve been through. I just thought- I thought you wouldn’t leave me hanging like this again.” She said sounding defeated.
“Wow. I never realized you were this upset.” He said.
“You never realized anything. Even when it was write in front of your face. You never noticed anything.” She said.
He realized she changed the word realized into noticed and he began to think she wasn’t just talking about them leaving anymore.
“Cam.”
“I have to work tomorrow. I will clean you up and redress you bandages before I go.” She said.
“Cam-.”
“Good night Hodgins.” She said with a tone of finality to her voice. He turned over and fell into a fitful sleep.
