Hi - boring stuff first, I don't own anything to do with Bones, or Ain't Nobody. Have loved this song for a long time, but recently realised the beginning fitted B&B quite well, hope you agree!

Captured effortlessly

That's the way it was

Happened so naturally

I did not know it was love

They arrived at her apartment after dropping off a rather drunk and emotional Sweets. Laughing at the irony of their evening, counselling the young therapist, they climbed out of the SUV. Booth followed her in, not waiting for the unnecessary invitation and helped himself to a beer. Bones wandered of to her bedroom, returning shortly in sweatpants and tank top. They settled on the sofa, agreed on some music and relaxed as if it was the most natural thing in the world. It was comfortable and effortless, a position they'd found themselves in more and more in recent times. They spoke of everything and nothing, until till suddenly Booth decided enough was enough..

"Temperance.."

Ok he never calls me Temperance. Bones looked a Booth curiously, nodding gently, letting him know she was listening.

"…I…", he stopped not sure if he should continue, or if he should, where to start.

"Yes, Booth?", he well and truly had her attention now. He couldn't look her in the eye, and she could hear a slight tremble in his voice.

"I…I don't think Sweet's is all that good with the whole 'I can tell if your lying' thing".

"What makes you say that?"

Hmm, not where I thought the conversation was going but I'll go with it.

After what seemed like a small eternity, he settles closer to her on the sofa, turns and faces her and for the first time that evening, he looks straight in to her sparkling, slightly confused, blue eyes. She can feel her pulse racing at his close proximity, she holds his stare, not being able to recognise the look in his eyes.

"Well, I've been lying, kidding myself even, for quite some time now …"

She stays silent, her confused look unaltered. He takes this as a sign he should continue.

"and he hasn't seemed to have noticed". His voice drops to a soft whisper,

"But I can't lie any more Temperance".

Oh god why does if affect me so much to hear him say my name like that. She starts to turn away, to hide her emotions and the slight blush rising to her cheeks, but to no avail. He holds her in place and simply confesses,

"I love you"

The next thing I felt was

You holding me close

What was I gonna do?

I let myself go

Oh wow, did he just say he loved me.

His strong arms enveloped her in to what was no longer just a 'guy hug' . He could feel her uneasy breathing and her heart pounding. He know her too well to know, that right about now she'd be panicking, over thinking things, trying to apply logic or science to his statement. So he was greatly surprised to hear her breathing calm, and feel it gently caressing ear.

"You know what I agree. Sweets seems to be clueless when we are lying".

He could feel his heart thundering is his chest, threatening to escape and shatter all over her wooden floors. He said too much, she was brushing him off. Wait did she say we?

"Booth, I too can't lie more. You've broken down my walls, became apart of my life, shown me so much, shown me what I've missed all these years by not letting people in. Shown me what love is. I..I love you t-"

He didn't wait for her to finish, he heard enough. His lips caressed hers gently in a slow passionate kiss, full of angst, tension, passion, longing, love every pent up emotion felt between the two for the past three years. She let her self go in to his kiss, not wanting this moment to end. Unfortunately, the sound of Booths phone interrupted them from their embrace. Booth checked the caller ID,

"Cullen?"

Let me know what you think, there are possibly 4 more chapters if you think I should continue. Thanks for reading x
