I didn t really plan on continuing, but I got asked to write more so I decided sure, I might as well. This chapter is more friendly and less about hurt!
Brennan woke the next morning to find a strain in her neck and a bit of a heavy weight placed over her waist. She turned her neck to see Booth lying behind her on her couch. Memories of yesterday's tragedy came back in one big rush to her and she winced. She untangled herself from Booth's embrace and went to make some coffee. She thought about waking him and then she thought against it when she looked over at him and saw how peaceful he looked. She couldn't remember the last time she saw him so relaxed and calm.
She made her coffee and sat on the island in the middle of her kitchen as she slowly sipped at it, savoring the velvety taste of the coffee. After another 20 minutes, Booth woke up and sat on the couch rubbing his eyes to properly woken. He sat there for a few minutes and realized that this was not his couch. He got up and stretched out his all his sore muscles and turned around to see Brennan looking at him. He walked into the kitchen with a sleepy smile on his face. "Heya, Bones. How are you holding up?" He asked "I'm okay" She replied as she looked away nervously "Thank you for coming with me yesterday. I really needed it... I really needed you" He smiled at her as he poured a cup of coffee for himself and took her cup out of her hand to top up hers too. "You would have done the same thing for me. I know it" He replied with a bit of a cheeky grin.
"Here you go" he said as he handed her her cup of coffee "Thanks... for everything" she said with a small smile. "How s your back?" She asked "Quite sore, But at least I had a good night sleep" He said with a wink and a full-watt charm smile which made her giggle. Oh how he loved to hear that giggle of hers. "I was thinking that as been as I helped you out, That maybe you know that you could kinda help me with my back" He said with a waggle of his eyebrows earning him another little laugh from her "You know your couch isn't very big" He said after a minute of comfortable silence "What do you mean? It is very big, well you know as far as couches go" She said confused "Well then tell me why, when I woke up in the middle of the night you were lying on top of me with your hands on my chest?" He said while trying to stifle a laugh at the sudden flush that rose in her cheeks "It's ok bones, I know. Sure you said so yourself that I'm hard to resist" She chuckled and thought of a smart comment to say back. After a minute or two of thinking, She replied "Well when I woke up, you had your arm wrapped around me" She watched as all of the colour dropped from his face "Just give me a little while because I need to shower first. When I'm done, I'll let you know and then I can fix your back" Brennan said as she rinsed her mug of coffee in the sink.
When she turned around, she noticed the way that Booth's eyes dilated and she figured that she must have caused that reaction in him as she talked about her shower. She laughed inwardly at the thought and headed to the shower. "See you in a while Booth" She called as she walked down the hall. Booth watched her retreating form and sighed heavily as the bathroom door closed and all he could do was think of her in the bathroom having a shower after only been lying right next to him just over 30 minutes ago. 'This is going to be a long day' He thought to himself.
