This is my second fic, hope you like it. My version of how their first encounter could be but I know it won't. I was planning on to uploading it before the season 6 premiere, but I didn't have internet like for a week.
English is not my first language so please don't be mean, I'll appreciate feedback.
I don't own Bones at all, so sad but then again what can I do.
Right By The Coffee Cart
Right by the coffee cart… that was the place where they were supposed to be meeting today. They had agreed to do so one year ago at the airport and that was the reason why Temperance Brennan was sitting on a bench in front of the reflecting pool. She was waiting for him, waiting for Seeley Booth.
When she arrived there, her first thought was that maybe she was early for their appointment; after all, she hadn't even stopped by her house. But as the time went by, she realized that that wasn't the case. One hour, two hours, three hours and he never came; "it's enough" she decided, not because she was tired of waiting but because it was way too painful.
She took a cab, and on the way home she started to think about the million of existent possibilities that could explain Booth's absence. But the more she did it the more she panicked because the ones that seemed more likely to be were the worst. Was he ok? What if he was hurt?; she couldn't take that ideas out of her mind, for she knew that Booth would never break a promise unless that there was a powerful reason behind, like… an accident.
A feeling of loneliness and despair filled her whole being when she arrived home. To be honest, she had imagined many scenarios of how their first encounter after that much time would be, and arriving home alone wasn't one. She had pictured that by that time, Booth would be by her side and they would be eating Thai and drinking tequila while catching up with their lives. Of course that they had written many letters to each other and sometimes even spoke on the phone, but it wasn't the same, because he wasn't really there, and every time she heard his voice, she felt an incredible need to hug him, to feel his warmth, breathe his scent.
She never thought that she would ever feel like that, that she would miss him so much; and she didn't understand why but, during all those months all she could think of was him. She had longed for to see him so much that she even considered going to Afghanistan and look for him, something that she found pretty irrational.
To stay awake wasn't an option; it was too much for her right then, so she went to bed early. She tried to sleep, but that turned out to be an almost impossible task, because she was still too worried. She tossed and turned, but nothing, she couldn't get to sleep. By 3 am, she was getting very frustrated, she couldn't believe that she couldn't do the only thing she wanted at that moment, and that was to sleep. Was she asking too much? she didn't think so, falling into a sweet slumber so she could forget everything and everyone for at least a couple of hours wasn't too much, because, as long as she was awake, she would think about Booth and about why he didn't show up. This was going to be a long, long night.
So this is the first chapter of this fic, I think it's going to be 3 chapter long. Please read and review, let me know what do you think about it and if you would like me to change something.
To my parents and my big sist, I love so much, and to my beloved pet that is no longer with us.
Bere, Natty, Kari and Memo, I love you guys, thank you for being my friends.
