Suddenly It Rains On Us
They fell silent and simply enjoyed the taste of each other on their lips. Almost six years of love exploded between them, every 'guy hug,' every 'atta girl,' melted away.
The kiss softened, and when he finally pulled their lips apart hesitantly, he silently prayed that this would not be the last time he would get to feel them against his. Praying that she wouldn't go back to Maluku, that they could move forward, together. Her eyes fluttered open, but she remained silent.
"Bones, "
Booth started to speak when his phone started to ring. He dug it out of his pocket, glancing at the caller ID: Hannah. Shit. Hannah. Whenever he was alone with Bones his mind had this funny way of erasing her from all memory or thought process. Apparently the affect was only intensified when they were locking lips. Shaking his head lightly he tried to clear his thoughts, but his mind was only focussing on one thing: kissing her, tasting her, feeling her, hearing her moan and unconsciously melt into him..

She knew who was calling just from his expression. Worry, fear, confusion. In about 10 minutes she had turned Seely Booth against a completely sweet innocent woman. Thats not who Booth was, not the Booth she loved anyways. He wasnt the guy to go professing his love to other women in bars and sharing kisses while his live-in girlfriend waited at home for him.
"Answer it, Booth. Go home to her." He was drawn out of his own mind by her husky voice. He noticed that she tried to smile, but he knew her too well and only saw it as a poor attempt.
He answered the ringing, clearing his throat, "Hannah, hey... yeah, I'm just at the Founding Fathers with Bones... Yeah.. yeah.. Okay, I'm on my way." He shut the phone, and after putting it back in his pocket he took hold of her hand, "I'll fix this. I promise, I have to go right now, I can't do this right now, not tonight, but I'll fix this - we can talk about it at work tomorrow? Lunch? Thai?"
She smiled, this time a little easier, "Sure Booth. Just don't do anything you regret."
He leaned in to kiss her cheek lightly, slightly tasting the tears that had spilt their earlier on his lips, he lingered longer to breathe in the scent of her shampoo before turning his back and walking away.
He paused at the door,
"Hey Bones?"
She turned in her seat to look at him,
"Bones, don't go back. Don't go to Maluku."
He didn't wait for her response, he turned and left. He had a lot of thinking to do.
