A/N: sooo this little story is how I think Booth and Brennan should get together and what happens when they do. It's my first fan fic so reviews are nice.

Oh yeah and I don't own Bones or the characters

Enjoy

Booth and Brennan had just finished a case and were enjoying dinner at the diner. He was eating a hamburger with extra fries, and she had a salad. They were talking about the case completely engrossed in each other.

"I just don't get why Matthews would kill his own brother." Brennan said looking to Booth for an explanation.

"Because Bones, his brother was threatening his wife, and he was trying to protect her because he loved her. I can understand it." Booth told her trying to make her understand. "I mean if anyone ever threatened you I wouldn't hesitate to hurt them for a second because I love you."

Brennan paused momentarily before responding. "I know you do. We established that you love me in an 'atta girl kind of way a few months ago." She said looking down at her salad.

Booth paused for a second. He knew that he had two choices, continue lying to her, or tell her the truth. He knew he should be patient like Gordon-Gordon said and let make her own conclusion, but it had been too long.

"No Bones, not in an 'atta girl kind of way."

At this Brennan locked her blue eyes on his brown eyes. What Booth saw was surprise, confusion and finally fear.

"Booth, don't…" she replied quietly he gaze never leaving his

"I… got to go… do some paperwork." Brennan said as she stood up and started walking towards to door.

Booth was right behind her as she went out the door. "Hey Bones wait!" she kept walking not looking at him.

"Bones!" he shouted as he grabbed her arm and turned her around so she was facing him. Brennan looked at him in shock with a pained expression as if hurt her to even look at him.

"Booth, let me go" With that she pulled a karate move and twisted out of his grasp. She hailed a taxi and headed towards her apartment. Booth quickly headed to his SUV and drove to her apartment.

Brennan tossed a twenty to the cab driver even though it was more than enough. She headed to her building and up the stairs to her apartment.

When she got to her apartment she tossed her purse on the coffee table and sat down on the couch.

She closed her eyes and tried to rationalize what had happened. Do I love him back? What happens now? Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door.

When she opened it she came face to face with Booth. He stood in the door way not even bothering to come in.

"Listen Bones, you can't run every time you feel too much emotion. If you want to push people away and live life alone go ahead because I'm tired of dancing around these feelings. I'm done!"

Before Brennan could even respond Booth was headed back down the hallway. Brennan felt as if she had been slapped. For the second time in five years Booth had made her cry. Brennan wiped the tears from her eyes as she closed the door and sat back down on the couch.

She picked up the file that Booth had given her on the other case they had been working. She looked it over hoping it would take her mind of the hurt that was starting to settle in her chest.

At around midnight she dragged herself to bed and cried herself to sleep for first time in 15 years.
