A moment like this

A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this
Some people search forever,
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime,
For a moment like this

[A moment like this – Leona Lewis]

Alternative ending of "A Night at the Bones Museum" [05x05]

Her speech had been very good, all the people who hadn't been persuaded of her, looked up to her now.
After that, everyone had celebrated, eaten and drunk a lot.
The party was totally on, when Bones decided to go out into the night.

She just had to think about the fee minutes she and Booth had shared before Angela and the others had interrupted them. She had to think about the few inches they had just been apart.

A lot had changed between them lately, but Bones wasn't quite sure, where this was going to. She knew that he had been about to kiss her and she was positive, she'd have let him, but she didn't know of this was just the…something like »the magic of the moment«, in which she so didn't believe by the way, or if it had been real. Maybe it was just about time for them, maybe the others had been right, when they told her, she and Booth were completely into each other without noticing.

To her it seemed almost like hours that she was sitting here, on the steps at the outside, looking into the beautiful, cloudless sky, where the stars shone bright.

It'd always been very difficult for her to analyze her own feelings, not to mention to put them into words. She wasn't an emotional person, he had never been.

But there were feelings inside her, she couldn't reject any longer; feelings for her gorgeous favorite FBI Agent which were beyond friendship. Lately he was her first thought when she woke up and her last one when she went to bed.

Everytime they weren't together, she wished he'd walk into her office, with a stupid or not-so-stupid reason. It didn't matter to her, as long as they were together and she didn't have to miss him that bad.

There also was something else: his hazel eyes.
She hadn't noticed them in all these years, until now. When she had looked into his eyes, really looked, they had positively hypnotized her. They really did dazzle her and in conjunction with his smile, it had made her heart going crazy.

And all these things were summed up in one word, in which she never had believed, because it wasn't rational, but now…
She knew the word for the feelings she had towards Booth: love. She was in love with him, completely and probably irrevocably.

She almost jumped when someone sat down next to her.

"Hey, Bones!" Booth smiled slightly and gave her a drink.

"Thanks. You scared the hell out of me."

"Sorry, that wasn't my intention. What are you doing out here anyway? I was looking for you."

"Just thinking."

"About what?"

"Just stuff, you know? Nothing important."

He nodded slightly and she was surprised he left it at that. He looked into his glass, drank a little and then smiled at her.
"Your speech was great. Maybe you should write the speech for Parker's confirmation!"

She laughed and leaned her head against his upper arm. "Rather not. You know, I don't like to make a speech and stuff like this. I like just to sit in my office, working on stuff or to spend time with you."

He chuckled. "Yeah, I know. And I like spending time with you either."

They sat in silence for a while.

Bones knew she had to talk to him, about her feelings towards him, her fears and all that, but she wasn't sure if she was ready to do so.

"I know you and you know you can trust me, right? And we said, we'd always tell the truth, be honest with each other. So why did you say, you were thinking about nothing when there was and probably still is something on your mind?" Booth suddenly asked. At first he avoided her gaze, then he looked right in her eyes, with an intense that almost sacred her.

"Because you probably don't wanna know the truth."

"I always want to know what's bothering you, Bones."

"Well, then…answer my question. Were you going to kiss me?" The words were suddenly on her tongue and there was nothing she could have done to stop them.

Embarrassed he rubbed the back of his neck, blushed a little. "Well, yeah, I think I was going to."

She nodded slightly. "Yeah, and I'd have let you."

He looked surprised. "You…what?"

"You got it, Booth. It's not rational. The way I feel about you… I've never felt this way before and it's terrifying me. And I can't be without you anymore and I hate to depend on someone, especially on someone who's able to hurt me. But I'm afraid, there's nothing I could do about that."

At first Booth looked a little shocked and surprised at the same time, then he smiled and took her hand carefully.
"Bones, I don't want you to do something about that. I love you, always have and always will, not just since the surgery. And I definitely want to be with you and because of this I'm depending on you as you're depending on me." He put his arm around her shoulders and she leaned into him.

"So what are we going to do now?" She asked after a few minutes of just holding each other keeping smiling.

He smirked down on her. "Maybe we should continue where your dearest friend Angela has interrupted is!" He said as he gently captured her lips with his.

So, what do you think ?

It's the first one of my new serial and I thought it'd be a little easier to start with an alternative ending ^^

It's a little difficult to upload the stuff, because this stupid document manager don't wanna put the headlines, the chapter numbers and the lyrics into the middle. And he don't save the changes I make with the buttons -.-'
Hate it a lot !

So, anyway, this was the first one of my serial "A moment like this" and I'd like you to read&review ;)

And remember, I'm from Germany, so English isn't my first language and I'm sure mistakes could happen to creep in. Sorry for that btw ;)

Xoxo,
