A/N: This story is an IF Booth and Brennan were together story. They have a weekend getaway planned and work gets in the way…
Suffer
Sitting in her office Brennan couldn't wipe the smile off her face. She and Booth had been together for a couple of months and they had planned an extended weekend to Bethany beach in Delaware. She couldn't wait. She and Angela had gone shopping for a new bathing suit for her and something to wear… just for him.

Entering the Jeffersonian Booth took a deep breath and tapped the file in his hand against his side. He was supposed to go on a vacation with Brennan this weekend. His boss didn't care about that though. Some moron had dug up some bones in some old rich lady's garden. That, so the powers that be thought, took precedence.
Entering Brennan's office Booth sighed, "Hey," he called to her, "I've got some bad news."
Looking up Brennan's smile dropped, "What do you mean bad news? What is it Booth?"
Moving to the desk Booth held the file into view. "We have a case," he sighed.
Brennan shook her head. "This is your vacation time. It's only three days Booth," she tried. "You have the right to tell them that it can wait or it can be given to another agent."
Shaking his head Booth slid the file onto Brennan's desk. "I tried all of that. But this is priority."
Not even opening the file she shook her head. "I'll just tell them that I won't do it until the vacation is over."
At this Booth chuckled, "Tried that too!"
Groaning, Brennan stood and picked up the bag that contained the outfit she had bought for him. "I guess since you didn't try harder you can take this back," she said as she handed the bag to Booth.
Frowning, Booth looked to her curiously, "What's this?" he asked.
"The outfit I bought for me to wear for you."
Opening the bag Booth looked inside. "There's nothing but lip gloss in here," he said as he pulled it out.
Nodding, Brennan looked to be sorry for a moment before she smiled lightly. "Suffer," she said simply before she turned and exited the office, leaving Booth standing there holding the lip gloss. Looking like a small boy who had just found out his favorite toy had been taken away.
