I DO NOT OWN BONES
Her brain was working faster than ever. Temperance needed to make all the pieces match before they´ll leave the next day. She never found making a file so tedious. Her fingers worked fast over the keyboard and only stopped time to time to take some coffee of the cup. Her neck felt rigid and her only hope was ending her part of the official file and go to bed when her cell rung.
"Brennan"
"Hey Bones, where the hell are you?"
"I´m in my hotel room Booth. You disappeared so I decided to come back here and finish my part of the file."
"Ok Bones. I´ll be there to take it. Have you eaten yet?"
"I´m drinking coffee..."
"I haven´t said "drink" I´ve said "eat". I´ll take you some food"
"No Booth really I don´t..."
"Stop arguing. I´ll bring food anyway. See you!!"
A soft groan escaped from her throat while she was leaving her cell over the table again. She knew how difficult Booth could be but finally she got to it. Even feeling that tired being in Booth's company could be like a cure to her tiredness. She focused on her work and in a few minutes the file was done. Lifting her arms in a sign of victory she didn´t remember feeling so tired before. She turned off her pc and stood up. Her legs felt heavy and with coffee in hand she walked to the couch and lied, putting the cup over the coffe-tabble before.
Temperance suddenly opened her eyes. She didn´t remember falling asleep and tried to concentrate on where she was. Suddenly heard a sound and Booth´s voice outside her room. She stood up quickly fixing her hair and clothes before opening the door. How could had she fallen asleep? She knew Booth was on his way but her body simply collapse when it touched the couch.
"Bones?" she heard Booth's shouts on the other side and took a deep breathe before opening the door.
"Whoa Bones, where have you been? I´ve been knocking on your door for almost 5 minutes" he said closing the door behind him and following her to the couch.
"I've felt asleep. I'm sorry if I made you wait too much" She said trying to hide a yawn.
"It's ok" he said opening a bag and taking out some tacos "I hope this wake you up"
"Sure" she said taking one of them "Hey I have some beer in the fridge..." she said getting up "I'm taking some"
"Ok" he said eating his taco.
"Here" she said putting 2 bottle of cold beer over the table "so, where were you this afternoon? I lost you and came back"
"Well, I had to go to talk to the sheriff and thank him everything he did helping us in this case. You know I'm a gentleman Bones" he said showing her his charm smile.
"Yes I know" she said smiling back "by the way, what time do we leave tomorrow" he looked at her with a strange expression "what? You´re are the one who drive so you choose the time to leave!"
"We're eating Bones" he said turning on the stereo near the couch "let's relax and don't be so worried about leaving yet".
She saw him lie back and rest his head on the wall. A smile showed up on her face watching him. She knew most of his faces but the one she liked the most was that one. Her eyes met the taco and kept eating.
"Yeah" she said in a low voice "let's relax and don't think about leaving" she ended her taco and lied back with her beer.
"That's it" he said.
She looked at him again and saw him completely relaxed. He even closed his eyes and started humming the song that was listening. How could he act that naturally in front of her? She knew they had shared a lot but in moments like that she amazed by how good they could feel together. Then she rested her head on the wall and closed her eyes too, just letting herself go by the soft music and drinking some beer from time to time.
"You know what, Bones?" Booth's voice was barely a whisper
"Uhm?"
" Sometimes I think that meeting you has been the best thing that had happened to me".
She opened her eyes automatically when she heard his words and turned her face to look at him. Booth was as relaxed as he was before, closed eyes and humming the song. The expression of his face was the expression of his inner peace.
"Why do you say that?" she said trying not to sound so excited.
"Because" he kept talking as he was before "I really do think so Bones. You calm me down and nodoby had done that"
"Ohw" she said while her cheeks started to flush "that's really sweet Booth"
"Well Bones is a fact. And you like facts so I guessed that you deserved to know" heis voice was deep and low
"I don't only believe in facts Booth but thanks for letting me know. It's been... good, really nice".
Then he opened his eyes and focused his attention on her face. He didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable but when he looked at her he saw her red cheeks and wide eyes. He knew that she was shocked by his words but something inside him told him that she had really liked it. After he studied her face a big smile shone on his face and saw her smile in response.
"You're welcome Bones. And you know, facts are facts and you can't change them" he said sounding so logical to her ears that she really took Booth's words as real facts, something that she could examine.
"Yes, you can't change them" she said resting her head again and looking at nowhere. The slow rhythm of the music soothed her and it didn't matter what was going to happen the next day, she only needed to live that moment with him. She couldn't think of anyone better to share that night with.
A soft groan escaped from his lips and somehow she knew he was going to say he was leaving. By the way he had acted since they had dinner she knew how tired he was but also felt he didn't want to leave.
"Well" his words resounded all over the room followed by a yawn "I'm dying. I'm leaving. I'm really tired and by the way you look you're too so..." he said standing up.
" Don't go Booth" her voice was sincere and strong "You're exhausted and your motel is in the outside so stay here, we can share the room".
She opened her eyes and saw him with wide opened eyes standing in front of her. She leaned towards and cleared her throat. That wasn't a big proposition, they were going to be partners sharing a room. Just that.
"Stay" she said looking up "we were having fun".
He smiled at her openly "Yeah. Well, I'm staying then" he said returning to his previous position on the couch "Wait" he said standing up again "I'm taking more beer"
"Ok" she said shyly.
She rested her body back again and felt the rhythm of the song playing over her body. Sometimes it was quite simple to feel comfortable and relaxed. Sometimes it just took a good company and a good dinner, with good music playing background. She smiled watching Booth's moves coming back and giving her a beer with a big smile on his face before sitting again.
"Cheers" he said lifting his beer
"For us" she said lifting hers and watching his surprised expression.
"Yes Bones. For us" and both took a sip.
Her mind run through millions of emotions, sadness and joy combined in one while, resting her body into the couch, her soul felt touched by the song that was playing on the radio:
I see you when it snows
in
crystals dancing down
from a sultry sky
when silence is pure
and unbreakable
I can see you smiling
in every frozen tear
I
can hear you whisper "You and I"
Little did we know
that
they were life itself
the days passing by
we both had our share
in the sacrifice
once upon a time
we had something
beautiful
once upon a time
I thought "you and I"
take
me wherever
the answer lingers in the sand
show me the way as
the story unfolds
love is remote
in this wailing winter
wonderland
show me the way to the temples of gold
bless me
with a kiss
across the universe
when day and night converge
and
whisper my name till I fall asleep
tell me tales from days
bygone
tell me little lies
tell me once again it's just "you
and I"
The song was like a prophecy. What would happen if they got together and something went wrong and they would regret all the bad things they did to each other while they miss being one?. "Why would I think about prophecies if I don't believe in fate?" "Because he does!" a voice in her mind yelled the answer to her. She knew they had had influenced each other but suddenly she understood how much that happened. She looked at him and saw a sad expression in his face. He was concentrated looking at the bottle on his hands while he was humming the song. Maybe he had heard that song before or maybe he liked it and was enjoying the melody.
He felt her eyes looking at him but couldn't meet her gaze. He had to concentrated on something not to let his tears fall from his eyes. The night was going right but suddenly came that weird moment when everything seemed to be wrong, when sharing that couch wasn't enough anymore. She had asked him to stay and let the night go on but he didn't feel strong enough then to make those soft moments come back. He kept feeling her eyes freezing his skin and had no other choice but look up at her.
What Temperance saw in his eyes wasn't Seely Booth, she saw an empty but calmed Seely looking at her like she wasn't there, like she was in one of his dreams . His expression was cold as his eyes and made no other move. Temperance lifted her hand and touched his cheek gently when a tear began to fall. Her body tensed immediately when that tear touched her fingers. He was crying or that was what it seemed but his face had no expression and his eyes were ice.
"Seely?" she said not knowing what else to do. "What happens Seely?" she asked again getting closer and taking the beer from his hands and putting it over the table. Then she took his hands on hers and realised they were frozen. He didn't responded to any of her actions and she got even more scary "Talk to me please" she almost begged.
His eyes suddenly met their locked hands and a small smile shone on his face but suddenly faded. He looked up and saw her scared look and his hands left hers and made its way to her face. Booth's eyes were full of an unknown intensity for her, she didn't know what that meant and as soon as it appeared, faded.
"It's ok Temperance" he said in a quiet voice putting his hands down again "Nothing's wrong"
"But it has to be. You were crying" she said in a broken voice "You were crying" she whispered looking down.
"Nothing's wrong" he said lying down again " let's enjoy the moment".
She stood up quickly and he looked at her "But there's no moment to enjoy no Seely. I'm going to bed"
He looked how her figure disappeared through the corridor to her room. He saw her turning on the lights and the last thing he heard was a loud noise of her door closing. She was upset and he knew why; she asked him and he avoided her. He was unrespectful to her. Booth turned off the radio and followed her steps to the room. He stopped when his hands touched the cold doorframe. He stood and heard a strange sound that came from her room. At the beginning he thought she was talking on her phone but then he knew those sound weren't from talking they were from crying. Booth knew he should had knocked on her door before opening it but her sobs made him almost jump into the room. She was in the middle of the bed, barefoot, holding her legs against her chest and resting her forehead on her knees.
"Go!" she yelled at him furiously between sobs.
"No!" he yelled back firmly and closing the door behind him.
Now I wanna see you all sending reviews and I will love you all forever!!! Millions of kisses!!!
